If a person swallows any poison whatever, says " Forest and Stream," or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, more efficient and applicable m a large number of cases than half-a-dozen medicines we can now think of, is a heaping teaspoonful of common salt and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly m a teacupful of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents of the stomach ; and lest there be any remnant of poison, however small, let the white of an egg or a teacupful of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet, because these very common articles nullify a larger amount of virulent poisons than auy medicines m the shops.
