William Wynn Westcott utrykte kritisk holdning til dosering av kvikksølv. Han uttrykte at dosen måtte tilpasses pasientens vekt, og evne til å skille ut stoffet. Dette sa han som obdusent, og medisiner. Då kroppen ikkje har evne til å skille ut stoffet, betyr det at hans kritikk implisitt betyr: ikkje anvend kvikksølv. Men nokon tilknyttet litteratur han var assosiert med uttrykte seg slik:
“Moreover, doses of mercury were determined by the health, height and weight of each patient, as well as their ‘power of eliminating’ mercury from their kidneys.”(Note: At the time, adjusting individual medical tolerances of mercury was considered essential to using the chemical safely as a healing treatment before modern antibiotics were fully realized
Allikevel: AI sa dette då eg publiserte utsagnene hans, men i dag var han ikkje negativ til det i like utstrakt grad. AI ser ut til å være designet for å være fluktuerende som kilde.
AI / KI Gemini er ikkje alltid like lett å bruke, når det genererer informasjon istadenfor å dekke om påstander er feil, basert på referanse og kilde, som kan knytte referanse til sitat som støtter påstand
Eg trur eg har greid å projisere ein rekke egenskaper på Westcott. Det er egentlig litt motsatt av det eg hevdet tidligere i Oi. Rust er eit kontinuum. Osv. Westcott kunne nok inneha kunnskap til å opponere kvikksølv, men det motsatte var bildet. Det han derimot tørt og eksplisitt gjer er å koble diagnose til utbetaling for forsikring, i Suicide boka han skreiv. Dette er typisk; når fyrstikker dukket opp, kom forsikring for brann, tilknytta hus, og diagnosen pyromani.
Her lærer Westcott om Calomel i 1894 [Sept 8 1894, The British Medical Journal, MEDICO-LEGAL AND MEDICO-ETHICAL.]
Her er ein renska og lesbar versjon av teksten:
THE “CHILD’S BLESSING.”
At Shoreditch Tabernacle on August 29th Dr. Wynn Westcott, coroner, held an inquest respecting the death of Agnes James, aged 1 year and 8 months, the daughter of a postman. The mother deposed that the deceased had diarrhoea, and witness sent a girl, 6 years old, to “Dr.” Williams’s shop for a 1½d. teething powder. The powder was given to the baby, and in about two hours the child was seized with a fit. The witness ran with the child to a doctor, who tried to bring the child round and prescribed for her, but death ensued on the following morning. A juror informed the coroner that “Dr.” Williams had been dead some years. Minnie Maud Mary Hardy, the wife of a herbalist, of 91 Hoxton Street, who supplied the powder, was informed by the coroner that as there was a possibility of a criminal charge being preferred against her, it was his duty to caution her as to the effect of any statement she might make. As the witness hesitated about giving evidence, the evidence of Dr. R. A. Irvine, Hoxton, was taken first. He deposed that he had made a post-mortem examination, and was of opinion that death was due to convulsions produced by the calomel contained in the powder. The coroner then asked Mrs. Hardy if she would make a statement, and the lady replied that she had very little to say, and felt in a very awkward position. The coroner replied that it was a very awkward position to sell powders and a death to follow. The witness then stated that a child asked for a “three-ha’penny powder,” and the witness gave her one similar to that produced labelled “Dr. Williams’s Child’s Blessing.” There were full instructions on the packets, and the powders were made according to a prescription of the witness’s father now dead.
The Coroner: What was his name?
The Witness: Morgan Edward Williams. The witness added that her father was a chemist.
The coroner then showed the witness a paper which bore the name, “Dr. Williams, M.D., formerly Army Surgeon, Chemist, etc.” The witness said that her father had a diploma of some sort, but thought the coroner was asking questions not bearing on the case. The coroner replied that she could not refuse to answer, and ran the risk of being sent for trial. She was selling powders which were supposed to be made by a gentleman who called himself a doctor. If he was not one, then the witness was certainly running a great risk.
Eventually the following verdict was returned: “That deceased died from convulsions following diarrhoea, which was brought on, after a previous attack of diarrhoea had passed off, by the administration of a powder named ‘Dr. Williams’s Child’s Blessing,’ which contained calomel.” The jury added that the mother gave the whole powder instead of half, and recommended that such powders should not be sold to young children, and that death was due to accidental causes.
I 1900 anbefalte han dette i WESTCOTT, Her Majesty’s Coroner for North-East London,M.B.Lond., D.P.H. ; President of the Society for the Study of Inebriety.
On the other hand, it has been argued that the person is ill and dying of a poison gradually administered, so that no further dose of the poison can possibly be allowed. From my own observation I am inclined to say, stop the whole of the alcohol at once, as a rule; but a few cases of cardiac weakness may be saved from immediately fatal syncope by one or more small doses of wine or brandy, before the entire cessation of alcohol.
Hot baths should be used as soon as possible. Calomel with saline purgatives seems to hasten the excretion of waste products which have accumulated in the system.
Bromide of sodium in drachm doses is probably the safest remedy for the insomnia, but it is not a powerful remedy. Chloral often succeeds, but it may cause fatal syncope, although I have never met with that unfortunate experience. Formerly opium, and then morphine were prescribed; but of late years it has been objected that they tend to constipate and check excretion. Chloralamide, paraldehyde, hyoscyamine, and hyoscine are more powerful sedatives, and have what has been called a power of chemical restraint. Sulphonal may certainly be used in many cases with advantage. Da Costa has obtained valuable results from cocaine, in doses of 1/8 of a grain, given by the stomach; calming its irritability, and soothing the nervous system towards sleep.
Det er veldig praktisk med AI/KI til det ikkje er praktisk i det heil tatt.
