REMEDIES FOR PoIsoNs Gases Of poisoning
often occur in which life might be saw ed and
hours OF agony averted, il we only knew what
TO do in season. II poison burns the throat
and acts violently upon the stomach, swallow
half pint OF sweet oil, or melted butter or
lard, and within five minutes take half a mint
OF warm water, in which has been stirred
teaspoon full OF ground mustard and salt. The
OIL arrests the action of the poison and the m us.

water and mustard and salt, as before nan
toned. An eminent physician says that with
the prompt use Of oil, and white Of eggs, and
strong coffee. and the emetic as above directed
the fatal results Of any poison likely to fall IN
the way of man or child, may be always
averted. The remedies are, in themselves,
harmless, and might all be taken into the
stomach at once, in any quantity, without
damage to the system; and they are things
that we always have at hand. Bat while
using these things don't fail to send for a phys
ician. And above all, first Of all, don't have
any poison around.-Coantry Gentleman.
