gastric juice iodide combines with
many Of the polsons, forming In some
cases insoluble compounds, in others
soluble compounds. which arc harmless
so long as tiiey do not exist In too largo
quantities. He recommends it as safe
mall cases where the nature of the
poison is unknown, and as especially
efficient In case Of poisoning by the al
kaloids and alkaline sulphides, by am
monia, and especially by those alkaloids
with which iodine forms insoluble
compounds. In cases of poisoning by
salts Of lead and mercury, it aids the
elimination Of these compounds. In
cases of acute poisoning, an emetic
should be employed soon after the ad-
minisiration.
