“More than two-thirds nt the death«
from poison could be avoided if men
and women would only acquaint them
selves with the simple remedies always
at hand in every well-regulated house
hold."
The speaker was a bouse surgeon at
a city hospital. “I see the names of
six parsons on this record of mine
whom I.knowWnight have been saved
had their friends or the police known

continued. “All six
died because too muéb time was lost in
notifying: the police, calling an ambu
lance, and in getting the sufferers to
|he hospital. Paris green, roughon
rats and laudanum seem to.be the fa
vorite poisons for suicide? ‘ For1 each
of these poiaons an antidote can be
found in almost every household. The
chief points in cases of poisoning are
to encourage vomiting, and thus get
rid of the substance; to counteract the
poisons by antidotes, and to check
death by' the use of stimulants and artU
heial respiration.
••Rough on rats is simply arsenic.
Hardly a day passes but some one sui-
« ides by its use. If on discovering that
this poison bar been taken the sufferer I
is given one or two rawr eggs, and the i
eggs are followed* up with large
draughts of tepid water into-which a
tablespoonful of salt or mustard has
lieen thrown, the stomach will usually
throw the poison off These, suppie
men ted by a dose of castor oil. sweet !
oil or milk to offset the action of the •
poison, will usually save the life of the •
patient The same treatment is s the '
one to be followed when Paris green,
opium, niorphiue. paregoric or laud
anum is the poison used. When opium,
morphine, paregoric or laudanum iflk
swallowed, it is well to give a cup of*
strong black coffee after the emetic, to
apply
water to the head and neck,
and to prevent sleep. These poisons
represent the majority of those taken
by accident, or by persons intent ou j
suicide. When tartar emetic is taken, I
after encouraging vomiting, it is well
to give milk and strong tea to
drink. . When poisons like uineral
acids are used—such as a<ju.v fort is and
oil of vitrol—after an emetic solutions
oNoda magnesia, and even of plaster ,
scraped from the wall can be used with i
good effect. Oxalic and carbolic acid j
calls for the same treatment after }
using . a little flour and water, the |
white of an egg. ór castor oil in order ’
to protect the gullet and walls of the
stomach. When poison like caustic
potash soda or lime is used, administer
vinegar,^ lemon or orange juice in j
water. efnetic< and oiL If phosphor- !
ous is taken, like the ends of matches,
for instance, keep up the vomiting and •
administer big doses of magnesia in
waler. Oils in such cases must not be
used. For corrosive sublimate admin
ister the while of an egg. dour and
water, or milk, and theu the emetic.
In poisoning from chloroform or
luminating gas, let the patient have
fresh air. loosen the clothing and dash
cold water »front the fact* and neck.
