The first thing to do in the discovery of poison is to send for a doctor. Mean-while the following directions should be carried out: first, a large quantity of luke warmwater should be given, then if vomiting has set in it should be encouraged; if not, itmust be provoked. The simplest way to do this is to give lukewarm water. Any waterwill do. Water in which the hands—or dishes for that matter—have been washed may,by its very repulsiveness, acts more quickly than anything else; and if soap has beenused, it will be all the better for that, as soap is an antidote for many poisons.
