Treatment in Special Cases. The various poisons are arranged in groups, alphabetically, under the name of the active principle or typical member of each group. Apply in all cases the gen¬ eral principles of treatment, modified or supplemented as described under each group. The numbers refer to the numeri¬ cal arrangement of the substances in the list of antidotes. Acids, Mineral.—Hydrochloric, Nitric, Sulphuric, Spirit of Salt, Muriatic, Aqua Fortis, Acetic, Butter of Antimony, Soldering Fluid, Battery Fluids. Caution! Lavage or emesis inadmis¬ sible. Chemical antidotes, 20, 18, 19, 21. Demulcents, 7, 10, 9. Acid, Oxalic.—Salt of Sorrel, Salt of Lemon. Caution! Lavage or emesis only if case is treated soon after ingestion of poison, and then cautiously. Chemical antidotes, 18, 21, not 19 or 20. Acid, Carbolic.—Creosote, Disinfecting Fluids. Lavage with care. Wash out with 24. Demulcents, 8, 7. Stimulants freely. Intravenous or rectal injection of saline solution. Acid, Hydrocyanic.—Cyanides, Bitter Almond Oil.
