Use the stomach-pump or tube, or empty stomach by emetics, such as hypodermic solution of apomorphine, or give mustard or sulphate of zinc. The stomach should then be washed out by large quantities of water, most conveniently administered by the pump or tube.
If the tube or pump is not at hand, then administer at once either dialysed iron, or the freshly-precipitated hydrated oxide of iron, obtained by precipitating the ordinary perchloride by means of carbonate of soda or ammonia, avoiding excess of the latter. If the operator has sufficient chemical knowledge to precipitate the iron with fair exactness, so that there is no great excess of ammonia, or of sodic carbonate, then filtration is unnecessary. In other cases, filter through a handkerchief.
Oil, mucilaginous drinks, the white of eggs, and, if faintness exists, small doses of stimulants may all be given.
If the skin is cold, warmth must be applied to the body by means of hot blankets, &c.
