These photos may save your life.

Every home should have in their medicine cabinet Syrup of Ipecac. This old-fashioned formula, which is derived from the dried rhisome and roots of the ipecacuanha is used to induce vomiting by irritating the lining of the stomach and stimulating the part of the brain called the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone. This syrup can be a lifesaver in the event that you swallow poison or have some other malady that is relieved by emptying your stomach. However in case don't have the syrup during an emergency the above photos may accomplish the same result.
