_Nose, discharge of Matter from._ Use injections of Lime Water (225), or tepid Milk and Water, and give Fish Liver Oil (138) internally. _Maggots in_, see _Pecnash_. _Nux Vomica, Poisoning by._ Follow the treatment advised for poisoning by Cocculus Indicus (see _Index_). Bland Oils, _e.g._, Til, Cocoa-nut, or Ground-nut Oil, seem to retard its action, hence may be given largely. _Ophthalmia._ See _Eyes, Diseases of_. _Opium, Poisoning by._ The stomach having been emptied as speedily as possible by an emetic of Sulphate of Copper (117) or Mustard (246), every means should be adopted for rousing the patient; this is to be effected by dashing cold water over the head and chest, walking him quickly about, supported by two attendants in the open air, applying strong salts, &c., to the nostrils, irritating the leg by flagellation with a wet towel, and administering strong coffee, _café noir_, or if there should be great depression, a little brandy or other stimulant. When the patient can swallow, Decoction of Galls should be given as directed in Paragraph 152. In extreme cases artificial respiration (subsequently described in Appendix, in Art. _Drowning, Recovering from_) must be tried. These measures should _be long persevered in_; as long _as life lasts, hope_ of recovery is _not to be banished_. _Pains, Muscular._ See _Muscles, Pains in_. _Palpitations of the Heart, Nervous._ These may in a great measure be controlled by Asafœtida (35), Camphor (70), or Infusion of Jatamansi (184), either alone or used conjointly. _Palpitations or flutterings in the region of the Heart_ which occur in weak, nervous, hysterical subjects, often yield to Bromide of Potassium, in dose of five to ten grains dissolved in water, twice or thrice daily. _Paralysis._ Little can be done by non-professionals beyond giving internally Fish Liver Oil (142), alone or with Sulphate of Iron (177), in anæmic or debilitated subjects, and applying irritants, as Croton Liniment (122), Petroleum (410), externally. _Pecnash_ (_Maggots in the Nose_).
