I have now passed through the whole Process, which I have experienced in this Poison; yet, shall further add, some general Rules, for the Use of Places, where Physical Advice cannot be immediately obtained; and, as this may sometimes be the Case in Villages remote from Market-Towns, I have held it my Duty to give every Insight, that might tend to the Preservation of Life in such Exigencies; though I would not recommend this Method solely to be depended upon, without further Advice, where physical Assistance is obtainable. A Person who has taken Opium to Excess, should forthwith be made to vomit several Times, by every Art imaginable, remembering the more quick and copious the Draughts of Liquor are given, the better Chance there is for Success. Let the Party affected be kept as much as possible in continual Motion, giving him, when he has done vomiting, a Glass of Sack or Mountain Wine, with a Table Spoon-full of good Vinegar in it, especially when in Tremors; in a languid and relaxed State, the Vinegar thus mixed should be repeated frequently, (The Use of rich generous Wines were esteemed Specific in this Case by the Antients; and among the rest _Hoffman_ and _Rondoletius_) and where Wine is not to be got readily, Water may be used, with Honey or Sugar dissolved in it, 'till the Liquor will bear an Egg. If the Person is not capable of Motion, cover him very warm to promote Sweat; to which the abovementioned Liquors, and strong Whey, will greatly contribute. Use every Stratagem to keep him from Sleep, until he has sweated an Hour, or thereabouts; he may then be suffered to sleep a little; but not for a Continuance, rousing him forcibly every fifteen or twenty Minutes; if he should faint, or grow cold, add some grated Ginger, or beaten Pepper, to each Draught of the Wine and Vinegar. If Beer or Ale Wort can be got, it may much help, by its mucilaginous Parts, to check the Activity of Opium, and carry it off by Stool; likewise the swallowing of Yolks of raw Eggs may contribute, as Doctor _Jones_ observes, and the drinking of Coffee, as recommended by the learned Dr. _Willis_.
