Abstract |
F. S., a white American boy, 8 months of age, was admitted to the Mount Sinai Hospital on Oct. 1, 1935. His past history was entirely unimportant. On the previous morning, while at play in the kitchen, the child had come in contact with roach paste containing 1.19 per cent yellow phosphorus, which was spread on a piece of potato. When seen by his parents the child's fingers and lips were covered with paste and some was in his mouth. The father attempted to induce vomiting without success. As the child showed no ill effects at the time, medical aid was not sought. |
