dilute the poison in the stomach and induce vomiting, cause the patient 

 to swallow several (4 to 7) glassfuls of any simple and readily avail- 

 able emetic, such as those suggested by the Red Cross — soapsuds of any 

 ordinary soap, salt water, soda water made with ordinary baking- 

 soda, lukewarm water, dishwater, or milk, particularly in the case of 

 corrosive poisons. All solutions are more effective- if administered 

 when lukewarm ; but if no warm water is immediately available, use 

 cold water, so that vital time may not be lost in heating it. 



Caution. — Do not, under any circumstances, give any liquids to 

 a victim who is unconscious. Keep him lying down and warm 

 until a doctor arrives. If breathing has stopped, as from gas 

 poisoning, artificial respiration should be resorted to, provided 

 it is applied by someone who is competent to apply it. 



PROCUREMENT OF INSECTICIDES AND SUBSIDIARY MATERIALS 



Ordinarily insecticides, subsidiary materials, and equipment for 

 their application may be obtained from local seed or agricultural 

 supply stores; but if they cannot be bought locally, information re- 

 garding sources of supply can be obtained from your county agent, 

 Smith-Hughes teacher, State agricultural experiment station, State 

 department of agriculture, or the Bureau of Entomology and Plant 

 Quarantine, Agricultural Research Administration, United States 

 Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
