The next best remedy is perhaps ammonia. From one to two tablespoon- 

 fuls of the strong liquid ammonia (liq. ammon. fort.) may be given as a 

 drench in a quart of cold water; or the solid carbonate of ammonia in 

 ounce doses may be given as a ball or dissolved as a drench. Failing 

 either of these remedies being available, whisky or other alcoholic stimulant 

 should be tried, the dose in such cases being 5 or 6 ounces. Whatever 

 medicine is used it should be repeated at intervals of an hour. Strychnine 

 may be given with safety until a spasmodic twitching of the muscles is 

 produced.
