PREVALENT DISORDERS AND THEIR REMEDIES. 523
after taking the hot drink the hiccoughs left him for a lapse of five min-
utes. This cessation of the hiccoughs, even though for only five minutes,
encouraged the wife to urge more hot drink upon him. The next
time the hiccoughs disappeared for a longer time. When they again
came on, more hot coffee was administered and, to the doctors' sur-
prise, next morning the patient was sleeping and well on the road to
recovery. The doctors (three in number, all noted ones of the city of
Chicago) said it was a miracle — but admitted that the hot drink did what
medicine had failed to do. The Nurse.
HICCOUGH CURE FOR CHILDREN.
Many children are subject to this distressing complaint. A lump of
sugar saturated with vinegar and given to the little one to suck will relieve
it instantly. This is the recipe of a French physician, M. L. E.
HICCOUGH CURE— No. 2.
Small pieces of ice applied suddenly, so as to surprise the patient, will
stop persistent hiccoughing. Also hot drinks of weak coffee and milk
taken frequently have the desired effect.
For swollen and bleeding gums rinse the mouth with a wine-glassful
of warm water in which is placed about seven drops of myrrh. This will
harden the gums and keep them from working off the teeth, which always
gives them a bad appearance. ~ Mrs. Pachaly.
ANTIDOTE FOR POISONING.
If a person swallow any poison whatever, or has fallen into convulsions
from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, more
efffcient and applicable in a larger number of cases than any one-half
dozen medicines we can think of, is a heaping teaspoonf ul of common salt
and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in 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 ^^^ or a teacupful of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the
stomach is quiet. These very common articles nullify a larger number of
virulent poisons than any medicines in the shops.
Great quantities of Paris green* are used during some seasons of the
year, and as accidents may happen, it is well to know the antidote for the
poison. Paris green owes its deadly properties to arsenic, as does Lon-

don purple. Should either of these be taken into the stomach, let the
person drink copious draughts of milk or raw eggs beaten up, and as soon
as possible give an emetic, mustard is as good as anything, and keep up
the action of vomiting by giving milk between the paroxysms of vomiting.
When the stomach no longer rejects what is swallowed give a good dose
of castor oil. A. C.
