Crystallised apomorphine then separates spontaneously, and is deposited on the sides of the vessel.
The liquid is decanted, and the precipitate is exhausted with ether or chloroform, which dissolves the apomorphine only.
Use at once the stomach-tube or pump, or give emetics of sulphate of zinc, or hypodermic solution of apomorphine.
