FOOTNOTES:
[A] In the year 1839, a young lady residing in the north of England took about half a pound of salt to rid herself of worms. Very soon afterwards she began to suffer from all the effects of an irritant poison, with general paralysis; and in spite of the use of the stomach pump and of antidotes, she died in a few hours. Dr. Christison has recorded two somewhat similar cases.
[B] If not kept prepared, the remedy may be speedily got ready in any chemist’s shop in the following way: Mix together the contents of the bottles containing tincture of the muriate of iron (the liquor ferri perchloridi does as well) and liquor ammoniæ fortior. Run the mixture through a loose filter, saving the precipitate; turn filtering paper or tow, if that has been used, and all into a vessel containing water, agitate well, and use the precipitate by spoonfuls as it falls to the bottom.
[C] Considering the reprehensible way in which pseudo-medical advice is given in some newspapers and cheap periodicals, it is only surprising that more cases of poisoning do not occur. Take the following example (Sunday Times, 3d October, 1847), of a cure for dysentery: “Half a noggin of logwood, well boiled and strained, half a glass of port wine, and twenty drops of laudanum, have proved successful in checking dysentry in adults. For children only fifteen drops of laudanum should be used.”
