the dose of =chloral= should be, at least, half a drachm, and if no
effect is produced in half an hour, then doses of 20 grains should be
given at intervals of a quarter of an hour.
If neither chloroform nor chloral is at hand, the juice from a
recently-smoked pipe may be diffused in a little water and a few drops
injected subcutaneously, and the effect watched. If there is a marked
improvement the treatment may be persevered in.
=Bromide of potassium= in combination with chloral has been recommended.
=Nitrite of amyl= inhalations are said to be of use.
=Curarine= in a subcutaneous dose of one-third of a grain is
antagonistic so far that it paralyses the voluntary muscles.
SULPHURIC ACID.--See ACIDS, MINERAL.
TARTAR EMETIC.--See ANTIMONY.
TARTARIC ACID.--The same treatment as for OXALIC ACID (_which see_).
THEVETIN.--See DIGITALIS.
TOBACCO.--See NICOTINE.
TURPENTINE.
Empty stomach by =tube= or =pump=, or administer the usual emetics, such
as =mustard=, or =sulphate of zinc=, or =ipecacuanha=, or give
hypodermically 3 or 4 drops of the solution of apomorphine.
If purging is not already present, empty the bowel by enema; give plenty
of water and demulcent drinks to aid elimination by kidneys.
Apply hot fomentations to the loins.
Allay pain with =opium= or =morphine.=
VERATRINE.
Empty the stomach by the =tube= or =pump=, or give any one of the usual
emetics--such as =mustard=, or =zinc sulphate=, or =ipecacuanha=.
Keep the patient lying down.
=Stimulants= may be administered.
An enema of =hot coffee= has been recommended.
Keep the body warm with wraps, hot blankets, &c.
WHITE PRECIPITATE.--The same treatment as for CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE.
WASPS, BEES, HORNETS--STING OF.
An =onion= immediately applied to the part stung is a favourite popular
remedy; but =ammonia= is better.
=Extract the sting=, if it remains in the wound.
Give =stimulants=, if necessary.
ZINC.
The only salt likely to cause poisonous symptoms is the chloride, which
is used in the arts, and is the active principle of Burnett’s
disinfecting fluid.
=Stomach-pump= or =tube= inadmissible. Give plenty of =water=, in which
=carbonate of soda= is dissolved; or, if that is not at hand, =carbonate
of potash=.
=Eggs= and =milk= should also be given.
Solutions of =tannin=, strong =tea=, and the like, also, to some extent,
neutralise the poison.
The pain in the abdomen is to be allayed in the usual way--by hot
fomentations and small frequent doses of =morphine= or =opium=.
DOMESTIC READY REMEDIES FOR POISONING.
§ 914. Large households, more especially those in which no one possesses
any special medical knowledge, would do well to furnish an ANTIDOTE
CUPBOARD, for use in cases of emergency. This cupboard may contain:--
(1.) _The Multiple Antidote_, which consists of saturated solution of
sulphate of iron 100 parts, water 800, magnesia 88, animal charcoal 44
parts. It is best to have the animal charcoal and magnesia mixed
together in the dry state and kept in a well-corked bottle; when
required for use, the saturated solution of sulphate of iron is mixed
with eight times its bulk of water, and the mixture of charcoal and
magnesia added with constant stirring. The multiple antidote may be
given in wine-glassful doses, frequently repeated, in poisoning by
arsenic, zinc, opium, digitalis, mercury, or strychnine; it is of no use
in phosphorus poisoning, or in poisoning by the caustic alkalies or
antimony.
(2.) _Calcined Magnesia_, for use in poisoning by acids.
(3.) _French Turpentine_, for poisoning by phosphorus.
(4.) Powdered ipecacuanha in a well-corked bottle; the bottle containing
a small pill-box which is cut down, so that when full it contains 30
grains--the proper dose as an emetic. A similar small supply of sulphate
of zinc may also be provided.
(5.) A tin of mustard.
(6.) A bottle of vinegar.
If, then, provided with such a supply, any member is known to have taken
poison, and yet the precise poison is not known, give a =sulphate of
zinc= or =ipecacuanha emetic=, and follow it up by the =multiple
antidote=, which is in itself not poisonous.
If PHOSPHORUS has been taken, then give the =French turpentine= as
directed under Phosphorus (p. 697).
If ACIDS, neutralise by the =calcined magnesia= (see Acids, mineral, p.
687).
If ALKALIES, neutralise with =vinegar= (see Alkalies, p. 688).
