For Nux Vomica and its Alkaloids, 476. Chloral, ether and chloroform, gelsemium, bromide of potassium, are the physiological antagonists ; tannin is a chemical antidote.

For Picrotoxin, 489. The physiological antagonists and the antidotes are the same as for strychnine.

For Ergot, 492. The caustic alkalies, aconite, but especially amyl nitrite.

For Digitalis, 507. Aconite, saponaria, amyl nitrite, and nitro-glycerin, are the physiological antagonists ; tannin, sulphate and chloride of iron, are chemical antidotes.

For Belladonna and its alkaloid Atropine, 523. Opium or morphine, physostigma or eserine, and pilocarpine, are the most efficient antagonists. The ■caustic alkalies destroy the active principle, but the available chemical antidotes are tannin, compound solution of iodine, charcoal, etc.

For Stramonium, Hyoscyumus, and Du-boisia. The antagonists and chemical antidotes are the same as for belladonna.

For Camphor, 545. Caffeine, the arterial sedatives, etc.

For Cannabis Indica, 555. Caustic alkalies, strychnine, faradic electricity.

For Chloroform. By the stomach, 595. The stomach-pump, oil and mucilage, atropine, faradism, artificial respiration, and cold affusion. By inhalation, 604. Nelaton's method (inversion of the body), drawing out the tongue, artificial respiration, faradism, ammonia by inhalation and intravenous injection, amyl nitrite by inhalation, subcutaneous injection of tincture of digitalis, and oxygen, 348, by inhalation.

For Chloral, 613. Ammonia, atropine, galvanism, and heat, to overcome the cardiac depression. Strychnine is the antagonist of Liebreich, but its range is limited. Eserine. to a slight extent, is physiologically opposed.

For Opium, 627. The stomach-pump, or emetics (bicarbonate of sodium, followed by tartaric acid, has acted favorably); cold affusion, faradization, and artificial respiration, when the respiration flags; belladonna, or atropine subcutaneously, has acted favorably in numerous cases; caffeine injected, or black coffee.

For Conium, 663. Chemically the caustic alkalies and tannic acid are antidotes; emetics or the stomach-pump, cold affusion, artificial respiration. Atropine and strychnine, subcutaneously, to counteract the respiratory depression.

For Curara or Woorara, 667. Caustic alkalies and tannin act chemically; artificial respiration is of the highest importance ; atropine and strychnine counteract the respiratory failure. Cold affusion and emetics, or the stomach-pump, are necessary.

For Gelsemium, 672. Chemically caustic alkalies and tannic acid. Emetics, warmth, ammonia, faradization of chest-muscles, artificial respiration, and morphine, sub-cutaneously, are the important measures.

For Pilocarpus, 679. The persalts of iron and the salts of metals are chemically antidotal. Atropine is, in a very complete degree, the physiological antagonist; cardiac stimulants, as ammonia and alcohol, antagonize the cardiac depression.

For Physostigma, 687. The vegetable astringents and tannin, chemical antidotes. Physiological antagonists are, atropine to considerable extent—chloral, apparently, more completely. Faradization of chest-muscles and artificial respiration are important measures. Emetics should not be omitted.

For Tobacco or Nicotine, 692. Emetics or Btomach-pump. Tannin, compound solution of iodine, potassium permanganate, 157, chemical antidotes. Ammonia, brandy, atropine, and strychnine to overcome failure of respiration ; also, artificial respiration, cold affusion.

For Aconite and Veratrum Viride, 711, 716. Ammonia, alcohol, artificial respiration, heat, atropine, or morphine, subcutaneous-ly; also digitalis.
