If person swallows any poison what |
ever, or has fallen into convulsions from |
having overloaded the stomach, an instan |
taneous remedy, more efficient and applica |
BILE in a larger number of cases than half a |
dozen medicines we can now think of, is a |
heapcd teaspOOnful ef common salt and as |
much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a |
teacup of water, warm or cold, and swal-
owed instantly. 1t is scarcely down before
i begins to come up, bringing with it the
ION tents of the stomach; and, lest there be

strong coffee be swallowed as the stomach
S quiet, because these very common arti-
lies nullify larger number of vlrulent poi
ons than any medicines IN the shops.
