JAMES DILL, Clerk of the Southern District of New- York. PREFACE. Lord Bacon has declared a multiplicity of reme- dies to be the child of ignorance. The observation is, no doubt, just ; but if he had been tried by it, he would have put his own reputation at hazard ; for he was as partial to polypharmacy as any of his co- temporaries ; who esteemed it a medical axiom, that the more complex a prescription, the more virtues it possessed ; accordingly, it required some scores of simples to form a sovereign remedy. It is obvious enough to the most casual observer, that this is not I the opinion of the present day : we run into the other extreme, and are inclined to say that the more simple, nay, the more single the prescription, the more efficient the medicine. Many physicians carry about them all the articles of the Materia Medica, which they conceive necessary to enable them to contend with every form of disease, and armed with calomel, opium, tartar emetic, and a lancet, they believe themselves qualified to combat all " the ills that frail flesh is heir to." This generalising system of practising the pro- fession is believed to be more convenient to the physi- cian, than beneficial to his patient, and which the present improved state of pathology and therapeutics certainly does not warrant. n PREFACE. In the treatment of chronic diseases, and rebel- lious cases, the anxious practitioner should turn with willingness to the compositions of medicines recom- mended by eminent men, and to such also as have acquired a reputation, although they may have ori- ginated with empirics or nurses. A work containing a collection of prescriptions of this kind, remains a desideratum in medicine, at least in this country. The books which contain them are not always within reach, the search is te- dious, and oftentimes fruitless. In order to remove in some degree these difficulties, the compilers have made a selection of the most celebrated : the number might have been much enlarged, but they presume that they have given as many as most practitioners will require ; even of these, there are some, of which from their own knowledge they can say very little ; by giving them a place here, they do not pretend to settle their value ; the sources whence they are deri- ved are usually indicated by their names, and the dis- criminating physician can readily judge of their in- dividual merits. The Formulae Selectae is intended to be a com- panion to the Dispensatory, and not in any way to supersede its use. A recipe may have reputation and deserved celebrity, and yet not find a place PREFACE. Vll among the officinal preparations, which should be few in number, and retrenched of every thing that could be deemed superfluous. The physician is sometimes called to visit patients who have previously taken of some patent medicine, and, as it is proper. that he should acquaint himself with the composition of these secret remedies, we have inserted such of them as are in most general use in this country. The difficulty of obtaining the natural mineral waters is sufficient to account for their very limit- ed use. Many of them can be easily and suc- cessfully imitated ; of these we have chosen out a few, and given the methods of preparing them. The haste in which the practitioner is required to administer relief to those who either by design or ac- cident have taken poison, denies him time for read- ing, and almost for reflection. It behooves him, not- withstanding, to meet these cases with promptitude : and, in order that he may refresh his memory as to the mode of exhibiting the antidote, we have given >such an abstract,' as shall serve his purpose on such an ' occasion. The arrangement of the preparations according to their forms, appeared least objectionable, and has been adopted. By this means they may be referred to Vlll PREFACE. without the aid of an index ; but as works of this kind usually abound with them, we have thought proper to comply so far with established custom as to place one at the end of this volume. Works on pharmacy are now usually given in the vernacular tongue ; and we have pursued this plan, except in the names of the articles composing a pre- scription ; these are put in the Latin language, be- cause it was thought that it afforded a precision and permanency as a dead language, which no living and improving one can be expected to possess. The Edinburgh nomenclature has been adopted, as being the most specific. We have departed from it in those cases only where the article was almost un- known by any other name than that given it by the London College, as, millepedes, sanguis draconis, and a few others. With these remarks, we submit the book to Ame- rican Physicians ; if they are satisfied with the selec- tion and arrangement, we are content ; and frankly apply to ourselves the words of Jovius : " Castrant alios ut libros suos per se gracilea alieno adipe suf- farciant.' 1 utsc^^&4Z*^ZZ*£* C^ua^u^ Vfe&u^. uffct?^ Wine Whey, (strong.) fy Lac.

We have done it from a belief that it would comport with the scope of the book, which is compiled not so much with a view to the instruction of the ignorant as to serve as an index of facts to refresh the memo- ry of those who are informed, but whose avocations Tender it impossible for them to consult, on the spur of an occasion, works professedly treating of this subject. The view which we will give shall, there* 20 154 POISONS. fore, be as short as possibly can consist with per- spicuity ; (perhaps, in the opinion of the reader, much too short to serve that purpose ;) and will include such of the poisons only as are most common, and most frequently the subject of medical treatment. i „ Mixm&ii Yoisoxs ANTIMONY. The preparations of this metal can scarcely be considered as poisonous at this day, although the time has been when it was thought expedient to pro- hibit its use in medicine by royal edict. Its use is so extensive, and its effects are so well understood, that little danger can be apprehended except from the accidental exhibition of an extraor- dinary quantity ; and even in this case, the invariable emetic tendency of all its preparations generally se- cures the system against the lesions usually conse- quent upon the ingestion of metallic corrosive poisons. Emetic tartar is the preparation of this metal most usually employed in medicine. It is detected, when in solution, by the following marks : Vegetable blues are changed by it to a red colour. With the hydrosulphurets, it deposits a yellow pre- cipitate. With the tincture of galls, it deposits a cream coloured precipitate ; and, With the sulphuric and nitric acids, and lime wa- ter, it produces a white precipitate. 156 POISONS. Taken into the stomach, it produces an inverted action of that organ, and is so soon expelled, that it is almost superfluous to attempt its decomposition. If at any time medicines with* this view are admissi- ble, they are alkalies and bark infusions. The chief dependence will be found to be in the exhibition of large and frequently repeated draughts of tepid water, in mild expressed vegetable oils, milk, and vegetable astringent infusions. ARSENIC. This metal, in all its forms and combinations, is a most destructive poison. The white oxyd, being the preparation most generally known, and from that cause, perhaps, most frequently used for the de- struction of human life, is the poison, to which, what follows more immediately refers. All that may be said of it will apply with equal propriety to its other preparations. Its form is that of white opaque masses externally, apparently semivitrified, and transparent within ; its taste is acrid and corrosive ; its specific gravity 5.000. When burnt, it volatilizes in very dense white va- pours, with the odour of garlick. A solution of it mixed with a solution of vegeta- POISONS. 157 ble alkali, and heated with the sulphate of copper, will cause a deposit of a beautiful green colour. An alkaline sulphuret will precipitate it from any of its solutions, and this deposit may be submitted to the tests of heated copper, or heated iron. The Ammoniaco-nitrate of silver is said to be capable of detecting the most minute quantity in solution, with which it presents a beautiful yellow precipitate. The science of chymistry has yet to discover an antidote to the poison of arsenic. Therefore, the at- tention of the physician should be immediately direct- ed to its expulsion from the system, by means of vege- table emetics, combined with large and repeated doses of tepid water, decoctions of linseed, marsh mal- lows, milk, solutions of the albumen of eggs, or oily and emollient ptisans ; prescribing, as the urgen- cy of the case requires, those medicines which are calculated to relieve or arrest inflammation of the stomach and intestines, which the ingestion of this poison invariably produces. MERCURY. All the preparations of this metal are poisonous, differing only in degree. The most active one is the oxymuriate, which is of very general use in medicine^ both externally and internally. 158 POISONS. It is a beautiful white semi-transparent ponderous salt, whose taste is extremely acrid, styptic, and per- manent ; and is readily detected in solution by the fol- lowing tests : It changes to a green the vegetable blues. It is precipitated from its solutions by the caustic alkalies in the form of an orange coloured powder, which gradually changes to a red. It is precipitated by the carbonates of soda and potass, in the form of a powder permanently yellow. This salt treated with potass in a glass tube by heat, is converted into metallic mercury. As this is one of the most violent poisons with which we arc acquainted, and lias been frequently taken with the intention of committing suicide, emi- nent chvmists have been engaged in experiments, which should lead to the discovery of an antidote. It is known to be easily decomposed, and, there- fore, it was formerly believed that its effects could be suspended or moderated by most of the substances capable of producing its decomposition. But as all the combinations of mercury with acids, with the exception of the Sttbmuriate, are very poi- sonous, its decomposition merely changes the cha- racter of the deleterious agent, without controuling its operation, or, at least, without affecting it in any material degree. The alkaline salts, and earths, the carbonate of potass, and the sulphurets of potass and lime, all ca- POISONS, J 5y pable of decomposing it, have been found utterly insufficient to neutralize its poison ; and it is not long since, from the experiments of M. Orfila, that we were warranted in saying, that we had any sub- stance which could claim the character of an anti- dote. His experiments are very conclusive in fa- vour of Albumen ; that it is not only antidotal, but the only substance useful in cases of poisoning by this murderous agent. The treatment of patients is to be commenced by large and repeated draughts of the albumen of egg$ ? mixed, or suspended in water, with the triple view 7 of neutralizing, diluting, and evacuating the poison* If the patient cannot swallow, it is to be introduced into the stomach by means of an elastic flexible tube. Enemas of the same description, or of the decoctions of linseed, mallows, or other mild viscid vegetables, are to be frequently exhibited, treating the patient according to the rules of art, when the poi- son is believed to be completely evacuated. SILVER. The nitrate of silver is the only preparation of this metal, whose internal use is admissible in medicine. It is a very corrosive poison ; and externally applied. 160 POISONS'. it is one of the most instantaneous escharotics with which we are acquainted. It is a salt easily soluble, and readily decomposed. Intentional poisonings by it very rarely occur ; accidental ones oftener. Potass, soda, and lime, will precipitate it from its solution in the form of a very brown powder ; and ignited charcoal will so completely decompose it, when brought in simple contact, as to reduce it to its metallic state. From the facility of its solution, it may, in most cases, (if the treatment be quickly entered upon,) be eliminated from the system, by large and fre- quently repeated draughts of tepid water From late experiments, it is believed to be neutralized by muriate of soda ; this salt, therefore, has the highest claim to the character of its antidote. The writer of this article was accidentally called to visit a patient, (a lady aged eighteen yearsj who was poisoned by lunar caustic, which had been taken by mistake, supposing it to be an opium pill. The quantity received into the stomach, as near as could be ascertained, was ten or twelve grains ; its effects, very soon after taking, were apparent from the vomiting of a dark yellowish matter, which left on the bed cloaths a stain similar to that made by inde- lible marking ink ; it blackened the cuticle of the lips and hands, and inflamed the mouth and fauces, to such extent, as to produce a sloughing of the cu- POISONS. 161 tide lining them two or three days afterwards. The pain in the stomach was intense, and the vomiting incessant. Nothing was done for the patient, ex- cept that the vomiting was kept up with little in- termission for eight hours, by means of large and repeated draughts of tepid chamomile tea.

All the preparations of this metal are poisonous, although their uses in medicine, both as external and internal remedies, have proved them to be very va- luable; used internally, they require much caution in their exhibition. The tests of the presence of Copper are the fol- lowing: Copper in solution, offers a brown precipitate with the prusiate of potass ; a blue one with Ammo- nia ; and a dark brown with the hydrosulphurets. It will also coat phosphorus and iron with me- tallic copper, when immersed in it. When precipitated from its solution, it can be brought back to the state of metal by calcination with charcoal; this observation will apply to the precipitates of all the, metallic salts. 2\ 162 POISONS. There are at present no known substances which can claim the character of antidotes to this poison. Recent experiments have proved that sugar, the pru- siate of potass, and prusiate of iron, can decompose it, but they require a much higher temperature than that of the human body to favour their action. Albumen alone has stood the test of experiment, and, without doubt, is the most efficient counter agent at present known. The treatment, therefore, will principally con- sist in the exhibition of such substances as will fa- vour its expulsion ; and as most of the poisons of this metal arc readily soluble, the most proper emetics are those which are, strictly speaking, diluents, and operate as emetics by their quantity. The albumen of cjjgs suspended in warm sui:;ir and water, given in large doses frequently repeated, is perhaps the best remedy. After the poison is believed to be evacuated, the patient's case is properly referable to treatment strict- ly medical. LEAD. The preparations of this metal, although poison- ous, are not so much to be dreaded, because not so active as many other metallic oxyds. Poisonu POISONS. 163 them are on this account never intentional, but frequently accidental; and they are attended with symptoms in many cases peculiar to themselves. In the late classification of M. Orflla they are called astringent, rather than corrosive poisons. The only preparation used in medicine, as an in- ternal remedy, is the acetate. It is detected in solu- tion very easily, by the hydrosulphuret of potass^ which forms with it a brown precipitate, and heat- ed with ignited charcoal, gives back the lead in its metalic form. It is also precipitated from its solution by all the alkaline salts. From the fact that the sulphate of lead may be received into the stomach in large doses without inconvenience , and also that epsom salt, forms with it an insoluble sulphate, it is fairly inferred, that sulph. magnes. is its true antidote ; accordingly, it is the basis of all the treatment of poisoning by it, practised in the hospitals of Paris. NITRIC, SULPHURIC, AND MURIATIC ACIDS. These corrosive acids are all most fearful and de- structive poisons ; and incredible as it may appear, they have not unfrequently been intentionally taken to destroy life, although accidental poisonings by them are much the most frequent. We have not 164 POISON? thought proper to give in this place, the different tests, by which they may be distinguished, or even to describe their characters, for these obvious rea- sons : 1. They are too generally known to require description ; and, 2. If they were not, the decision of their characters by submitting them to experi- ment would require more time, and occasion more delay, than could in any one case properly consist with the safety of patients, who are so unfortunate as to be the subjects of their most murderous opera- tion. Destructive as they undoubtedly are, the cases of poisoning by them are more within the reach of remedy than those of arsenic, if early recourse be had to the antidotes: but the relief must come spee- dily, because hope is not long deferred. Thcsymptoms of poisoning by these acids are very similar: excessive vomitings, convulsive agitations of the face, (the evidences of the agonizing pain which the patient suffers, from the erosion of parts to which the liquid has been applied,) a heat as of burning coals in the mouth, throat, oesophagus, and stomach, a deathlike coldness of the extremities, a small irregu- lar and intermitting pulse, difficulty of respiration, and an expression of absolute despair, mark the de- vastating progress of awful disease. As their symp- toms are similar, so their treatment does not differ; what is applicable to one case, is alike proper for all. It consists in evacuating the offensive substance, by such means as will dilute, vomit, and neutralize; POISONS. 165 such are the alkalies and absorbent earths, either carbonated or calcined, diffused in a great quan- tity of water, or of oil in the form of soaps. As there can be but little time allowed for the se- lection of the remedy, that which it most conve- nient, is undoubtedly the best. After the poison is expelled, the patient will have to contend with in- flammation of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, and sto- mach, to such a fearful extent, as will put in requisi- tion all the art of the most experienced practitioner. OPIUM. Both intentional and accidental poisonings occur more frequently from the use of this article than any other in the materia medica. Infants, indeed, are so sensible to its noxious powers, that even regular practitioners have committed fatal mistakes in ex- hibiting it to them. The writer of this article knew a case attended with very serious symptoms, where an infant, aged seven months, had taken only two drops. Four grains of opium have been known to prove fatal to health y adults, but the majority of par- sons would require more than double that quantity to produce that effect. If the amount taken be very considerable, the dangerous symptoms appear almost immediately ; but if it be more moderate, they come on from half an hour to an hour after its in- gestion. Symptoms. — Cephalgy, drowsiness, succeeded by coma ; respiration anxious, short, and interrupted ; pulse small, slow, and scarcely perceptible ; the whole body covered with a sweat cold and clam- my ; visage cadaverous ; eyes half closed, and hag- POISONS. 167 gard, with the balls immoveably fixed upwards ; pu- pils contracted ; distortion of the mouth with aphony, and occasional vomiting. Toward the close of the scene, the whole system is agitated with convulsions, and the respiration becomes rattling. Death usually terminates the sufferings of the patient from four to twelve hours, seldom as late as the twenty-fourth from the commencement. Treatment. — The patient is to be made to vomit freely as soon as possible, and the vomiting is to be repeated from time to time, till his coma has disap- peared. Ipecacuanha is the best emetic for this pur- pose, as, independent of its emetic power, it is be- lieved to possess qualities capable of counteracting the noxious effects of opium. After the patient has vomited sufficiently, he is to drink largely of some diluted vegetable acid, as vinegar or lime juice ; he is to be exposed freely to the cool air, and to have sinapisms applied to the wrists, ankles, and scrobicu- lus cordis : flagellation is also a powerful means of arousing him from his lethargy. The French at present are in the habit of doing the same thing, by sprinkling hot water on different parts of the body. Where the power of deglutition is lost, we may often advantageously have recourse to acrid, stimulating, and purgative glysters, repeated every half hour or hour, until relief be obtained. After the operation of the opium, the system is left 168 POISONS. suffering under great exhaustion and indirect debility, which will require the frequent and cautious exhibi- tion of wine, or some other diffusible stimulus, in small quantities. It appears to be the opinion of late physiologists that opium proves fatal, by being absorbed and trans- mitted to the brain and nervous system, which doc- trine teaches us to persevere in the use of emetics as long as we have the least suspicion that any opium may remain in the stomach. Alibert relates the dis- section of a person who died from the effects of it, where he found that drug in the stomach, although the quantity taken had not been great, and the person survived its ingestion for more than twen- ty-four hours.

The noxious qualities of these plants are so simi- lar, and their effects on the human system so analo- gous, that they ma\ be treated under the same head. Symptoms. — Vertigo, dimness of vision, dilatation of the pupils, difficulty of utterance, precordial anxiety, nausea, violent retchings, remarkable pros- tration of all the forces, cadaverous countenance, POISONS, 16$ paralysis of the extremities, pain and tumefaction of the abdomen, stupor and death. Treatment. — In the first instance, the patient is to be made to throw off the narcotic, by the exhibition of a moderate quantity of Ipecacuanha, assisted by diluent and oleaginous drinks. And after the sto- mach has been well evacuated, the remainder of the poison, and its effects, are to be counteracted by the free use of diluted lime juice or vinegar. In the last stage, the exhibition of stimulants, and anti-spasmodics, are required to combat the debility, paralysis, and stupor, the necessary result of the com- bined operation of the disease and previous reme- dies.

Symptoms of poisoning by the above plants are the following : Vertigo, dimness of vision, face pale, eyes haggard, pupils dilated, pulse small and slow, sweats cold and partial, attended with anxiety, tremors, and great prostration. This state is soon succeeded by an opposite condition of the system ; the pulse becomes 170 hard and frequent, the face suffused, eyes animated and sparkling, high delirium, loquacity, singing, dancing, occasional crying, accompanied with vari- ous ridiculous gestures, and alternated with tremors and convulsions. If the symptoms still proceed, the precordial anxi- ety increases, the patient makes frequent and violent efforts to vomit, the convulsions become more severe and constant, the eyes fixed and haggard, the pupils, are very much dilated, and toward the close of the scene, tetanic symptoms super veue, attended by blindness and deep coma, which is soon followed by death. Treatment. — Gentle emetics of ipecacuanha, aided by diluents, until the stomach is well evacuated ; after which, acid and mucilaginous drinks are to be given freely, together with stimulating glysters. In the third stage oui chief dependance is on aro- matics, stimulants, and antispasmodics, to be em- ployed both externally and internally. Digitalis Plrtiu.a. — The Leaves. Although We do not know any cases of poisoning by this plant terminating fatally, yet from its power of producing death in animals, and from the symp- toms which attend its injudicious exhibition when used as a medicine, we do not doubt its claim to the character of a poison. POISONS, 171 Symptoms. — Vertigo, anxiety, syncope, nausea, vomiting, purging, cold sweats, a small, irregular, and scarcely perceptible pulse, delirium, hiccough, gastrodynia, convulsions, tumefaction of the abdo- men, and finally, death. Treatment. — The vomiting is to be assisted by the exhibition of oleaginous diluents, or even a moderate dose of ipecacuanha ; in like manner, also, the purg- ing is to be encouraged by the use of an enema which shall be both purgative and stimulating. The urgency of the symptons, and the rapidity with which they succeed each other, render it neces- sary to have early recourse to the use of aroma- tics, stimulants, and blisters. Small and frequent- ly repeated doses of opium, have been highly extolled as an antidote, and should be given immediately after the patient has been sufficiently evacuated. ■ a^a>is^< INDEX, Abernethy's emetic, .... 60 Absorbent mixture, .... 34 Acetated zinc collyrium, 95 Acetous fumigation, 147 Acid, muriatic, . . . 164 Acid, aitric, ..... 164 Acid, sulphuric, 164 Aconitum neomontanum, 168 Aerated alkaline water, 142 Aerated water, . .... . . 142 ^thusa cynapium, .... 168 Aix la Chapelle water, 146 Alibert's anthelmintic pill, 69 Alibert's antisporic ointment, . 121 Alibert's gargle, . ... 92 Alibert's ointment, . 119 Alibert's turbeth ointment, 121 Alkaline laxative, 33 Alkaline ointment, . . 120 Alkaline tincture, 25 Allen's anti-dysenteric, . . 59 Alterative pill, . . 82 Alterative powder. 61 1T6 ETOBX. i Alum collyrium, Alum curd, Alum injection, Alum whey, Ammoniac lotion, Anderson's pill, Anodyne cathartic, , Anodyne collyrium, Anodyne enema, Anodyne injection Anodyne liniment, Anodyne plaster, Anodyne powder, Helvetius's, Anodyne zinc collyrium, Antacid mixture, Sims's, Anthelmintic cataplasm, Anthelmintic electuary, Anthelmintic electuary, Vogler Anthelmintic pill, Alibert's, Anthelmintic wine, Anti-arthritic pill, Anti-asthmatic, Boerhaave's, Anti-asthmatic, Bree's, Anti-asthmatic pill, <|uarin's, Anti-carcinomatous powder, Anti-chlorotic pill, Anti-dysenteric pill, Anti-dysenteric powder, Anti-dysenteric ptisan, Anti-epileptic pill, Quann's, Anti-epileptic, Mead's, Anti-hemorrlinidal electuary, Anti-herpetic lotion.
