AN ANTIDoTE FOR sTRYcHNINE.

An instance of the prompt and successful
use of an antidote in a case of strychnine
poisoning is circumstantially w. narrated in
Nature. A favorite Skye terrier had acct.
dentally obtained and eaten the poison,
which was intended for mice. The amount
taken by the dog was probably about a
sixth of a grain. When found, the animal
was rigid and apparently ~lifeless, except
having an occasional spasm. The owner
consulted authorities and found that a dose
Of chloral hydrate was the antitdote pre-
scribed in such cases. To kill a rabbit, Fl
grains of the choral is sufficient.s the dog
was twice the weight of the rabbits. and the
owner of the terrier therefore proceeded to
inject 40 grains of choral lin solutien) UNI
der its skin. About Is minutes afterward,
supposing the dog was dead, the owner ap-
piled his boot to it, probably feeling a little
~lisgusted with the result of his experiment.
To his great surprise the terrier struggled
10. his feet. Shortly afterward it took some
milk. and subsequently, though not for a
while very lively, it seemed none the worst
for its experience. The essential point in
his treatment. is that the dose of clloral
