Poisoning

pressing tie vital functions and others
by paralyzing them. There are a few
poisons which are at the same time
both irritant and systemic in their
actions.
The diagnosis of poisoning is some
times very difficult, but at other times
it is quite evident. If after taking
something either as medicine or food
the person suddenly begins to feel
very much different from what he did
a few minutes before, poisoning should
be thought of. Sometimes there are
pains In the abdomen, sometimes con-
vulsions or spasms, sometimes an IT.
resistable drowsiness or unconscious
ness. Irritant poisons often leave
stains and burned places upon the lips
and inside the mouth. Often the Ia
bel upon the bottle or box, in the
case of medicine, will show n what
has been taken. The odor Of the
breath, or of vomited matter will
sometimes help to make a diagnosis.
Often the patient himself is able to
inform you as to what he has taken.
Although poisons are usually taken
into the body by way of the digestive
tract, it must not be forgotten that
they can be breathed into the lungs
in the form of poisonous gases. 1t is
also possible to be poisoned, in some
cases, by absorbing the substance
through the skin in large enough guam
titles to produce the injurious effects.

In general, poisons may be divided
Into two classes, ~ corrosive or irri-
liant poisons, those which injure a per-
son or cause death by their local &C.
ton of destroying the tissues; CD
nervous or systemic poisons, those
which produce their i'll effects by their
action on the ervou system at
large.
Some of the more common irritant
pofsons are: l.. Arsenic, In its va
rious forms as white arsenic, Paris
green, rat-poisons, poison fly paper,
and various vermin exterminators; 2.
Carbolic acid (phenoD which, although
probably among the most irritating Of
poisons and producing death after the
most agonizing suffering, is, strange
to say, very frequently selected for
the purpose Of committing suicide; 3.
Phosphorus, which is found in various
rat-poisons and In match heads; 4.
Strong acids such as s%ulphuric, mu-
riatic, and nitric acids; and s. Strong
alkalies as caustic soda, caustic pot
ash, lime, I've and strong ammonia.
Among the systemic poisons are: 1.
Opium, in its various forms as NOR
phine, codeine, laudanum, p%aregoric,
and black drop; 2. strychnine; 8. bella
donna; 4. alcohol, which although sc
commonly used, is nothing more nor
less than a poison, and in the quaint
ties usually taken. produces its effects
by really poisoning the system; 5
ptomains, which are formed in spoiled
or partially decayed foodstufs.
The poisons produce their injurious
and sometimes fatal results In various
ways. The irritant poisons all have
destructive action on the tissues with
which they come in contact. If left II
the stomach or intestines for any
length of time, they are very liable tt
p~erforate their walls and SO set up
peritonitis, which is very frequently
fatal. If perforation does not occur
the scar tissue which forms where the
normal tissue has been destroyed, al
ways contracts in time, and may do sc
to such an extent that an obstruction
to the digestive tract may be the re
suit. Some of the systemic po1sons
kill by over stimulation. others by de

Antidotes for Some
POiSOnS

Arsenic, when taken in poisonous
doses, produces, in half an hour, pains
in the abdomen, often vomiting, thirst,
often purgation and sometimes nerV'
GUS shock and Inconsistencies. The
antidotes are milk, eggs, or best OF
all freshly prepared ferric hydrate, a
chemical that IS made by mixing tine
II of ferric chloride with ammonia
(spirits Of hartshorn) or calcinated
magnesfa, The resulting substance
should be washed two or three times
by placing in a cloth and running wa
ter through it. These two substances
go under the official name of "ferri
oxidium hydratum cum magnesia,
and can be procured at most drug
stores.
Carbolic acid, if taken in too large
doses or in concentrated form, causes
white burned places on the lips and
inside the mouth, or any place that 1t
touches the skin. 1t causes intense
pain in the mouth, throat and bdo
men. The odor is very characteristic
and may lead one to a diagnosis. 1t is
a heart depressant and If enough has
been taken, the person soon goes into
a stage of collapse and unconscious
ness. The antidotes are alcohol IN
some form whisky or wine or al
luted alcohol given in large quaint
ties and then promptly vomited. In
other words, wash out the stomach
with alcohol. Lime water, magnesia
and eggs are of some benefit and
should be given If no alcohol is OBJ
tainable. Of course the general treat
ment of poisoning, as to stimulants,
etc., must be carried out.
Phosphorus Is a local irrftant, caus-
ing burning of the throat and pains IN
The abdomen and sometimes vomiting.
None of these symptoms may show
anttl three or four hours after the pol
son has been taken. The odor OF wet
matchheads may be detected and the
yomited material will sometimes give
off a pale light (1uoresce) In the dark
h ~antidotes are crude t~urpentine
and magnesia in milk, and hydrogen

, For the kingdom of God IS not in
word, but in power" 1 Cor. 4:2Q. We
are always giving a fictitious value to
knowledge. In our ignorance we some
times imagine that the Christian re-
ligion owes Its power to a certain set
Of ideas. We speak OF the golden rule,
and the Beatitudes, and the Lords
prayer, and the f~atherhood of God, as
though these were mighty forces
which would account for Christian
growth and progress. But when we
study history we discover that ideas
are comparatively impotent in the
great work of changing the character
Of he human heart. This is the work
Of the Spirit, which is the power Of
God unto salvation 70 every one that

Aviators Launch Lifeboat and
Abandon Big Dirigible.

New York.-Walter Wellman and
his five companions who four days be-
fore had sailed from Atlantic City in
the dirigible balloon America in an
attempt to fly to Europe along the
northern steamship route were picked
up at sea at dawn by the Royal Mail
Packet company's steamship Trent.
Capt. c. E. Down, bound for New
York via the Bermudas, at a point
about 375 miles east of Norfolk, Va.
and about $50 miles northwest OF
Bermuda. The America, after a rec
ord fight for dirigibles of about 70
hours, was sighted close to the water
in distress and was abandoned by
Wellman and his crew., all of whom
sought safety aboard the Trent with
the help of the d%irigible's lifeboat.
The message announcing the res
of the aeronauts reached the Uni
ted Wireless station here during the
late forenoon, and was addressed to
Sanderson & Son and signed by Cap
tain Down of the Trent. The mes
sage said:
"At five a. m. today sighted Well
mans airship America in distress.
Signalled by Morse code that she re-
quired assistance and help. After
three hours maneuvering and fresh
winds blowing got Wellman with his
entire crew and cat. Were hauled
safely on board. All are well. The
America was abandoned in latitude
35:43 north, longitude 68:1S west.
I'D. DOWN, Master"
Shortly after this message arrived
Il was received by the Marconi COM
pany in New York, which was adj
dressed to the Marconi people and
signed by Jack Irwin, the wireless op-
orator who sailed with Wellman
aboard the dirigible. This second
message, which shows that Irwin was
as anxious about his wireless appara-
tus as the rest had been about the cat,
read:
Rescued by Trent. All we'll. In
struments saved. Arrange to meet
ship tomorrow and take instruments
over. Wireless played important part
in rescue. IRWIN"
AS Mr.. Wellman and his compan-
ions climbed over the side of the
Trent the passengers cheered loudly.

by an eager group, anxious to be the
first to offer congratulations. DR.. J..

Strong alkalies have very similar
effects to strong acids. The ~antidotes
are weak acids, as vinegar, lemon
Juice, etc. The giving of oil often re-
lieves the pain considerably.
Opium, in any of its forms, if taken
in sufficient doses, causes stupor, con-
tracted pupils of the eyes and slow
respiration, followed by a deep heavy
sleep and Inconsistencies. The anti
dotes are large quantities Of potas-
sum permanganate in weak solution
used to wash out the stomach, or
strong tea used in a similar manner.
The patient must not be allowed to go
to sleep. Giving strong black coffee
at frequent intervals, slapping with
wet towels and frequent shocking with
an electric battery will assist IN
keeping him awake. Artificial respira-
ton may sometimes be necessary.
