324 Appendix. 



In poisoning by opium or stramonium, give a tablespoonful 

 of animal charcoal in water every ten or fifteen minutes, and 

 use every possible means to combat the drowsiness by keep- 

 ing the patient constantly on the move, by splashing cold 

 water on the face, by beating tom-toms, by snuff to the 

 nostrils, and by strong ammonia ; strong coffee in small quan- 

 tities may also be given frequently. 



In poisoning by vitriol or other strong mineral acid, the 

 best antidotes are soda, chalk, or soap-suds.
