Potass.—See Sect. 2, Acids. Salt (Kitchen).—See Nitrate of Silver {nitras argenti, lunai caustic), and Envenomed Wounds. Soapi—White household sou]}, dissolved in four times as much boiling water, and taken internally, is one of the best remedies in many eases of poisoning. A teacupful of this preparation may be administered every two, three, or four minutes, according to circum- stances, and in all cases in which white of egg, being indicated, proves insufficient. Soap water is chiefly suitable in cases of poisoning by metallic substances, and especially against arsenic, lead, &c. It is equally efficacious against corrosive acids—such as sidphuric acid, nitric acid, &c., alum, plants loith corrosive sap, castor oil (oleum ricini), &c. Soap water is injurious in cases of poisoning by alkaline substances, such as lixivium, lapis-infernalis (caustic potassa), potassa, soda, sub- carbonate of potass, oil of tartar, muriate of ammonia, sub-carbonate of ammonia, slack lime, or quick liine, baryta, &c.

In case of poisoning by metallic substances, several sorts of colors, verdigris, copper, sidphate of copper, alum, &c., sugar is preferable to any other remedy, and it is only when the patient has been re- lieved by sugar that %chite of egg, or soajJ-ivater, can be administered alternately with it. Sugar is often also one of the most efficacious antidotes against the poisonous effects of arsenic and vegetables with corrosive juice. Sulphate of Soda.—See Sect. 2, Alkalies. Tea.—Sect. 2, Sebacic Acid and Honey. Vinegar.—Vinegar is chiefly suitable against alkaline substances; but it is injurious in cases of poisoning by mineral acids, vegetables with corrosive sap, o.rsenic, and a great number of salts.
