Dr. Sibly's Re-Animating Solar Tincture - So use this to prevent death from 1793
In all circumstances of suicide, or sudden death, whether by blows, fits, falls, suffocation, strangulation, drowning, apoplexy, thunder and lightning, assassination, duelling, &c., immediate recourse should be had to this medicine, which will not fail to restore life, provided the organs and juices are in a fit disposition for it, which they undoubtedly are much oftener than is imagined.I do wonder how you successfully get the medicine down the throat of a 'perishing' person.
