that the proper medicines to be administered. Cold applications to the head, which should 

 be raised high ; and if relief be not speedily obtained, the case to be treated as apoplexy.

* For popular purposes, the above detail, we hope, will answer every useful end ; as it 

 will enable individuals to act upon the emergency of the moment, when life may be preserved 

 by a timely remedy administered in the first instance, and afterwards until medical advice 

 can be called in. But should a more varied (though still compendious) account of the 

 poisons be thought desirable, we can conscientiously recommend Stowe's Toxological Chart, 

 and a very small pocket volume published by Cox and Son, in the Borough, under tbe 

 denomination of Essay on Mineral, Animal, and Vegetable Poisons, to each of which we 

 are indebted for much valuable information.
