Sir, —As accidents resulting in death from child" ren getting hold of and sucking and biting' oft the heads of wax matclies are becoming very rife of late, you will be doing the public a great service by allowing me, to state through your paper that in such cases, in the absence of a medical practitioner, the parent should employ an early emetic, in the shape of tepid water with a little mustard or soap dissolved in it, and subsequently common magnesia aud water as an antidote- I believe it has been customary for the parents to give castor oil in such oases, but as this, as indeed any other oil, facilitates tho action of the poison (phospxiorus) by supplying a solvent, io is as well parents should be warned against its administration. —L am, &c., B.
