FIRST AID IN POISONING
By. 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.

of the stomach that has healed up, is

infected with typhoid from drinking
