Opium, Poisoning by.
The stomach having been emptied as speedily as possible by an emetic of Sulphate of Copper (117) or Mustard (246), every means should be adopted for rousing the patient; this is to be effected by dashing cold water over the head and chest, walking him quickly about, supported by two attendants in the open air, applying strong salts, &c., to the nostrils, irritating the leg by flagellation with a wet towel, and administering strong coffee, café noir, or if there should be great depression, a little brandy or other stimulant. When the patient can swallow, Decoction of Galls should be given as directed in Paragraph 152. In extreme cases artificial respiration (subsequently described in Appendix, in Art. Drowning, Recovering from) must be tried. These measures should be long persevered in; as long as life lasts, hope of recovery is not to be banished.
