A compromise may be made by giving aloes 2 ozs., croton oil 20 drops in bolus; or 1 to 2 ozs. sulphate of soda in solution may be injected subcutem. In any case oil of turpentine or other antiseptic is of great value in the stomach in preventing fermentation and tympany, and thereby obviating a whole series of troubles such as: cerebral disturbance by nervous shock and blood pressure; impaired respiration and hæmatosis by pressure on the diaphragm; and eructations of food to the pharynx and its inhalation or gravitation into the lungs. It is always well to clear out the rectum by injections, when if there is any indication of pharyngeal paralysis most of the remedies may be given by this channel. Stimulants (ammonia carbonate, alcohol, anise, fennel, ether, nux, etc.) have been largely employed by the mouth and may be by the rectum. In the absence of spasms I have relied largely on nux or strychnia. When the skin chills, some have sought to heat it by enveloping the posterior half of the body in cotton or wool soaked in turpentine, by applying sinapisms, or by moving over the surface a warming-pan containing red hot charcoal. More generally _cold_ in the shape of cold water, ice or snow has been applied _to the cranium and spine_. Theoretically the anæmic brain might be thought to forbid this, but clinically it often operates well, possibly by inducing a sympathetic contraction of the vessels in and around the nerve centres and thus indirectly favoring the resumption of active circulation and the reabsorption of effusions. An _elevated position of the head_ is no less important. It favors the return of blood from the brain by gravitation, and in this way improves the intracranial circulation, and the resumption of normal function. A halter, or a rope around the horns, may be tied to a beam overhead, or the head may be laid on thick bundles of straw which will keep it up to or above the level of the chest, and in this way not only is gravitation ensured, but the brain is protected against the violent blows and concussions, which come from dashing the head on the ground. Frequent _rubbing of the udder and drawing of the milk_, is an excellent means of depletion, a removal of a source of irritation, and presumably an extraction of part of the offending poison. It should never be neglected. But of all known methods of treatment the iodine injection furnishes the greatest hope of success.
