Poisons, Their Effects and Detection / A Manual for the Use of Analytical Chemists and Experts

by Alexander Wynter Blyth

(5.) A tin of mustard.

(6.) A bottle of vinegar.

If, then, provided with such a supply, any member is known to have taken poison, and yet the precise poison is not known, give a sulphate of zinc or ipecacuanha emetic, and follow it up by the multiple antidote, which is in itself not poisonous.

If Phosphorus has been taken, then give the French turpentine as directed under Phosphorus ([p. 697]).

If Acids, neutralise by the calcined magnesia (see Acids, mineral, [p. 687]).

If Alkalies, neutralise with vinegar (see Alkalies, [p. 688]).
