1. Is there a limit to the amount of CON you can get, or will the game allow you to keep using it, even if doing so would raise your CON above 25 (which isn't supposed to be possible)?
2. If your CON is too high to be increased (assuming that the game limits the CON you can have after using it), will using the manual still give you more HP?
3. Does the game check for integer overflow? For example, if you have 254 HP when you use this, will you end up with 254, 255, or 0 HP after using it?
(Note that questions 1 and 2 likely only come into play if you duplicate it or re-use the same character for multiple playthroughs, and 3 may involve abusing level draining (with save/reload until you get favorable results) to get your HP much higher than it would normally go, but I am curious about how the game handles these situations.)
"A Constitution of 23 or more is very buggy, and will often either lower hit points gained, or give you so many hit points that you may exceed 255 and wrap back around to 0, so I don't recommend raising Constitution above 22."
I remember, in one of the Gold Box games, editing my third gender character's stats, and noticing that I could raise it as high as 100, but that high Strength seemed to give no bonus to hit or damage at all. (I didn't pay attention to the character's carrying capacity, and in case you were wondering, the character's sheet had "COPPER" in the place where it would have said "MALE" or "FEMALE".)
