Dr. W. 1f Scholes In any case of poisoning; the ser- vices of a physician should be obtain- ed as quickly .as possible. But, in the meantime, the patient should not be negiected. A knowledge of how to give first aid to the poisoned may be the means of saving a life that would otherwise be lost before a doctor could be reached. The first thing to do in a case of poisoning is to give an 'antidote, This neutralizes or combines the ,poison in. 'such; a way as to render it less harm- -ful, Then, except when mineral acids or ..alkalis have been swallowed, vomiting should be induced by giving an eme- tic. (Mineral acids are such acids as sulphuric, nitric and . hydrochloric: Strong alkalis are lye, caustic soda, and caustic potash.) Mustard water makes a good emetic. It is made by stirring a tablespoonful of mustard in a glassful of warm water. E'xcept in morphine or opium pois- oning, the patient should be kept warm and quiet. The kitchen usually contains a num- ber of things that may be used as an- tidotes for some of the common pois- ons. Diluted vinegar may be used to neutralize lYe or other alkalis. For Acid Poisoning Shap may be eaten for acid poison- ing. Remember that no attempt should be made to induce vomiting in either alkali or acid poisoning, And never give acid soda for acid poison- ing. The gas liberated by the inter- action of the soda Sand the acid which has been swallowed .would probably tear the damaged tissues. Iodin may be combined by giving starch or flour stirred in water. It is better to give raw starch than to lose time in waiting for it to cook. For strychnine or preparations con- taining it, strong tea should be given. Strong tea is usually ,the most avail- able antidote for poisoning with alka- loidal drugs. These are such drugs as strychnine and atropine. Raw egg's and milk may be given for poisoning by bichloride of mer- cury. Antiseptictablets often contain this or some other salt of mercury: Chalk, lime or plaster may be giv- en'for oxalic acid, Soda should nev- er be given. Other names for oxalic acid are "salts of sorrel, "salts' of. lemon," and "polishing paste." A. solution of sodium sulphate is regarded as the best antidote for car- bolic acid (phenol). unfortunately, it is not always at hand when needed. Glauber's salt is another name for so- dium sulphate. No fats or oils should be given. l3icarbonate of soda . may be given for so-called coal -tar drugs, such . as are often contained in headache tab- lets ablets or powders. Give artificial re- spiration,' the same as for drowning. In poisoning by morphine or opium,.. give strong tea or. coffee. Walk, the patient to keep him awake. • Slap him withcold wet towels if necessary, but be sure to • keep him aroused and awake. ' Questions and Answers Diet in Tuberculosis C. S. asks: "What isthe best diet for a person with tuberculosis?" Reply This, as well as other questions re- lating to the care of the person with tuberculosis, is best decided by the physician 'in charge of the case. In general, a mixed diet of milk, eggs, butter, bread, vegetables, meats and fruits is suitable. May Have It Again E.
