give emetics after poisons that cause sleepiness and
raving;--chalk, milk, eggs, butter, and warm water, or oil, after
poisons that cause vomiting and pain in the stomach and bowels, with
purging; and when there is no inflammation about the throat, tickle it
with a feather to excite vomiting.

1345. Arsenic.

(_White arsenic; orpiment, or yellow arsenic; realgar, red arsenic;
Scheele's green, or arsenite of copper; King's yellow; ague drops_;
and _arsenical paste_.)

E. Little or no taste. Within an hour, heat and pain in the stomach,
followed by vomiting of green, yellow, and bloody matter, burning,
and violent thirst; purging, and twisting about the navel; pulse
small, quick, and irregular, breathing laboured, voice hoarse,
speaking painful; skin cold and clammy. Sometimes there are cramps
and convulsions, followed by death.

T. Give plenty of warm water, _new milk_ in large quantities, lime
water, white of egg, mixed with gruel or honey, gruel, linseed tea;
apply leeches to the bowels, foment, and give starch or gruel
enemas. Scrape the iron rust off anything you can get at, mix it
with plenty of water, and give in large draughts frequently, and
give an emetic of mustard or ipecacuanha. The chief dependence,
however, must be placed on the use of the stomach-pump.

_Caution_.--Never give large draughts of fluid until those given
before have been vomited, because the stomach will not contract
properly if filled with fluid, and the object is to get rid of the
poison as speedily as possible.

1346. Copper.

(_Blue vitriol_, or _bluestone; verdigris; verditer; verdigris
crystals_.)

E. An acid, rough, disagreeable taste in the mouth; a dry, parched

copious vomiting; severe darting pains in the stomach; griping;
frequent purging; belly swollen and painful; skin hot, and violent
burning thirst; breathing difficult; intense headache and giddiness,
followed by cold sweats, cramps in the legs, convulsions, and death.

A. White of eggs mixed with water (twelve to one pint), to be given
in wineglassfuls every two minutes; iron filings mixed with water,
or very strong coffee, accompanied by small and repeated doses of
castor oil.
