 give tincture of digitalis, in 54 drachm doses 

 by mouth, or hypodermically in doses from 

 10 drops upwards; apply mustard plasters to 

 pericardium; aid vomiting by plenty of water; 

 if necessary apply artificial respiration. 



Wash out the stomach with a siphon tube; 

 cause vomiting by emetics, cold and hot ef- 

 fusions alternated; strychnin hypodermically. 



Treatment unsatisfactory; moulds that have 

 entered lungs cannot be destroyed. 



Wash out the stomach with a solution of 

 tannic acid or cause evacuation with an emetic; 

 hypodermic injection of strychnin to stimulate 

 respiration; administer tea or whiskey.
