ROBERT SIMONTON, Mndr,
acute poin iu the throat, extendfi
wardsdo the chest, stomach, a:
faetiduess o r the breath with frequen
.tatiqns ; vomiting of a substance of different
coV-rs, often tinged with blood, and effer
vescing if thrown upon marble or chalk,;
difficult breathing and great general
tress; shiverings, convulsions, cold greas
sweats, pale or leaden colored features ^-,
great debility, mind not deranged ; the
and mouth are burnt, often appearing black, ;'
ox when aqua fortis is used, tho mouth in
side is of .a di.ll ^ white color, the-#pc white
or of a {citron color, and frequently there
are yellow spots about the chin and mouth
wherever the acid has touched. The mo
ment a person i s known toyhave swalled a
powerful acid, cklcined magnesia should be
given; this unites chemically with the poi
son and destroys its mischievous effects.
Let an ounce or more of magnesia be dif
fused in a quart of water, and a tumblerful
of the mixture be given every two minutes,
so that by filling the stomach vomiting may
ensue. But not a minute must be lost; if
magnesia be not at hand, soap dissolved in .
water, lime water, or even cold water, flax
seed tea, or any mild kind must be given
until the remedy be obtained. If vomiting ^
do not occur; no emetic must be given, nor
must aquiU or finger be used to irritate the
throat for the purpose of exciting it'. The
above is what must be first attended to ; of , '
course the physician will be called soon as
possible, but in most cases the ravages of pi
the poison would destroy life before his ar-/
rival, except the friends were wise and
energetic.
The effects of swallowing pot-ash, pearl- .a
ask, soda, quick-lime, and ammonia (the
solid or liquid contents of smelling bottles)
are very similar to those occasioned by the
acids. The remedy is to give vinegar or
lemon juice in water, in large quantities so
as to provoke vomiting, but an emetic must
not be administered. We may here renr
that a smelling bottle should only be par \ ]
lightly under the nostrils of a fainting pe
son ; when held there too long, the ex
haled ammonia is. prejudicial.
Corrosive sublimate in large quantities,
i. e. beyond what are proper as remedies
in some diseases, occasions a me lalic, as
tringent taste in the mouth; stricture and
burning heat in the throat; anxiety and
rending pains in the stomach and bowels ;
nausea, vomiting of a bloody fluid, some
times with, great efforts ; diarrhoea or dy
sentery; fainting, difficulty of breathing, cold j
sweats, cramp in all the limbs, general in- '
sensibility, convulsions, death. Numerous-
experiments show that corrosive sublimate
mixed with the white of an egg may be ta
ken in large doses w bout injury. The re
medy therefore is the white of eggspeat up
with water, given till'vomiting "son
and the stomach i» emtied of theMpo^on.
