 rable pains took place, followed by violent convul- 

 sions, restlessness and spasmodic trembling, which 

 threatened the life of the patient. CaUed to her 

 assistance, I found her cold, without pulse, her eyes 

 turned up, her face covered with cold sweat, and 

 the belly tumid and greatly distended. An emet- 

 ic was administered, and she discharged from her 

 stomach a considerable part of tlie poison she had 

 swallowed. 



By drinking milk, and the use of repeated clys- 

 ters, the poisonous force of the sabadilla, still re- 

 maining in the body, was neutralized, and twelve 

 hours after, the abdominal pains ceased, the swell- 

 ing of the belly disappeared, the convulsions and 

 spasmodic tumors, subsided, the pulse rose, and 

 respiration became natural. It is remarkable, that 

 the patient was restored from this accident, and 

 was cured also of her fever.

 tioners for the expulsion of worms, is the muriate 

 of ammonia, which, in the classification of remedies, 

 may pertain equally to the animal and mineral 

 kingdom. 



Besides, it was not judged convenient to make 

 a separate article for a single remedy.
