I think he wanted to poison Holmes both literally and by wasting his time and giving him mental anguish (the kid spit it out). It seems to me Holmes actually lied to him by saying his father wanted to leave them but later the film showed what really happened and Holmes recommend he leave his family behind.

I am not sure if I got that part right or if I made myself clear.

bottom line is: Holmes was human with faults and emotions that corrupted his reasoning.

I wonder what Arthur Conan Doyle would have thought?
