479. _Belladonna, or Night Henbane._--Give emetics, and then plenty of vinegar and water or lemonade. 480. _Charcoal._--In poisons by carbonic gas, remove the patient to open air, dash cold water on the head and body, and stimulate nostrils and lungs by hartshorn, at the same time rubbing the chest briskly. 481. _Corrosive Sublimate._--Give white of eggs freshly mixed with water, or give wheat flour and water, or soap and water freely. 482. _Creosote._--White of eggs and the emetics. 483. _Laudanum._--Same as opium. 484. _Lead. White Lead and Sugar of Lead._--Remedies, alum, cathartic, such as castor oil and Epsom salts, especially. 485. _Mushrooms, when poisonous._--Give emetics, and then plenty of vinegar and water, with dose of ether, if handy. 486. _Nitrate of Silver_, (_lunar caustic_).--Give a strong solution of common salt, and then emetics. 487. _Nitrate of Potash, or Saltpetre._--Give emetics, then copious draughts of flaxseed tea, milk and water, and other soothing drinks. 488. _Opium._--First give a strong emetic of mustard and water, then strong coffee and acid drinks, dash cold water on the head. 489. _Oxalic Acid._--Frequently mistaken for Epsom Salts. Remedies, chalk, magnesia, or soap and water freely, then emetics. 490. _Prussic Acid._--When there is time, administer chlorine, in the shape of soda or lime. Hot brandy and water. Hartshorn and turpentine also useful. 491. _Snake Bites, &c._--Apply immediately strong hartshorn, and take it internally; also, give sweet oil, and stimulants freely. Apply a ligature tight above the part bitten, and then apply a cupping-glass. 492. _Tartar Emetic._--Give large doses of tea made of galls, Peruvian bark, or white oak bark. 493. _Tobacco._--First an emetic, then astringent tea, then stimulants. 494. _Verdigris._--Plenty of white of egg and water. 495. _White Vitriol._--Give the patient plenty of milk and water. In almost all cases of poisoning, emetics are highly useful, and of those, one of the very best, because most prompt and ready, is the common mustard flour or powder, a spoonful of which, stirred up in warm water, may be given every five or ten minutes, until free vomiting can be obtained. Emetics and warm demulcent drinks, such as milk and water, flaxseed or slippery elm tea, chalk water, &c., should be administered without delay. The subsequent management of the case will of course be left to a physician. 496. _To prevent Death from the Bite of Venomous Animals._--From observations made by Dr. Bancroft, it is found, that in South America, where the most venomous serpents abound, a very tight ligature, instantly made after the bite, between the part bitten and the trunk of the body, will prevent immediate danger, and allow time for proper means of remedy, either by excision of the whole joint, just above the ligature, or by topical applications upon the part bitten.
