A Lecture on Toxiocology : Delivered January 15, 1841, Before the Class of the Medical College of Ohio (Classic Reprint). John Locke
Excerpt from A Lecture on Toxiocology: Delivered January 15, 1841, Before the Class of the Medical College of Ohio
The topic proposed to be discussed, is that of Toxicology or Poisoning, whether it take place by accident or by criminal design. The main object of the discussion will be to communicate such information as will enable all persons, in cases of poisioning, to afford that timely assistance by the administration of simple remedies, which in many instances, will save from great suffering or even from death itself. This kind of popular information is the more important because many poisons act so speedily, that the only oppoitunity for the saving of life may be lost before a physician can be procured. Nor is it quite certain that every person who is called Doctor knows how to apply, even, the known and certain antidotes.
Perhaps there is no class of remedies which can he more safely trusted, to well informed domestic management, than certain cases of poisoning. The cause of the disease is known to a certainty, and the remedies are reduced to one or two and these, if seasonably applied, are as certain of cure as the permanency of the laws of nature. Many antidotes have been lately discovered by chemists, by which the most deadly poison is rendered bland and harmless, and the devoted victim rescued from certain and immediate destruction.
