Addenda. 



CHLORAL HYDRATE (p. 616) wlien given by itself in suffi- 

 ciently large quantities to produce insensibility, is dangerous. To 

 obviate risk in this case, administer a subcutaneous injection (p. 

 644) of 15 grains of morphine hydrochloride, followed ten minutes 

 later by an enema of about 3 oz, of chloral hydrate in water mixed 

 with a little gum. 



IODISED PHENOL is an admirable antiseptic and caustic. It 

 is made by rubbing 1 on. of iodine and 4 oz. of pure carbolic acid, 

 at a gentle heat, until dissolved.
