He had studied, he said, with a strange smile, the works of the Rabbi Moses bin Maimon, and was possessed of antidotes for each of the sixteen poisons; but there was one venom, outside the sixteen, the composition of which he knew, but to which there was no antidote.
The intense pity of wise people for the crimes of others, when rightly represented, is one of the strongest antidotes against crime. We have taken the extreme case of sympathy being directed towards bad men.
"The antidotes against this organic egotism are, the range and variety of attraction, as gained by acquaintance with the world, with men of merit, with classes of society, with travel, with eminent persons, and with the high resources of philosophy, art, and religion: books, travel, society, solitude."
Before he left the East, however, old Mithridates, who had taken refuge in the Crimea, had been attacked by his own favorite son, and, finding that his power was gone, had taken poison; but, as his constitution was so fortified by antidotes that it took no effect, he caused one of his slaves to kill him.
A mother, with three children, has enough to occupy her mind usefully and useful thoughts, you know, are antidotes to brooding melancholy, and not unfrequently to bodily pain.

Then he rose and walked away rather unsteadily; as I learned afterwards, to plunge his head in a tub of cold water and swallow a pint of new milk, which were his favourite antidotes after too much strong drink.

LUCIFER. But had done better in not planting it. Again, a kid, after suffering agonies from the sting of a reptile, is restored by antidotes Behold, my son! said Adam, how from evil Springs good! LUCIFER. What didst thou answer? CAIN. Nothing; for He is my father; but I thought, that 'twere A better portion for the animal Never to have been stung at all.
He who is unfortunate enough to be wounded by a poisoned arrow from Macoushia had better not depend upon the common antidotes for a cure.
