PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. There is no misfortune from which we may not draw some benefit. The fire, which lately destroyed, at Philadelphia, so many of Messrs. Boericke and Tafel's valuable contributions to our liter- ature, also devoured all the copies on hand of my Therapeutics. Such an opportunity could not be thrown away, and we tried, there- fore, to erase all misprints and correct all sins of omission and com- mission which crept in nolens vole7is. Our hearty thanks are due to Professor Farrington, who kindly pointed out to us such mistakes, and we hope and trust that his brotherly example may find many followers. Let us all work together for our benefit as well as pro boiio publico. Samuel Lilienthal, M.D. New York, 230 West Twenty-fifth Street, July 4th, 1879. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. There is a just and continual outcry against the impossibility of mastering our ever-increasing Materia Medica, and many physi- cians are therefore in the habit of making their own repertories, in order to facilitate the selection of the simile. They give hints and only hints, and always necessitate further study, in order to ascertain the similimum. Thus originated this treatise on therapeutics, which, with great diffidence, I now put before my professional brethren; and I hope and trust that it shall be of as much benefit to them, especially to the younger ones, as it has been to me during the many years of my medical practice. Jahr's Clinical Guide, which I had the honor to bring out in a new edition some ten years ago, is still the skeleton around which I clustered the experience of our best men. There is nothing original in such a work, but I culled from our whole literature, wherever I found something valuable to be preserved. Still, omissions will be plenty, and I would earnestly beseech, therefore, some of the friends of our cause to get their copy interleaved, in order that every omis- sion can be filled out and corrections made wherever necessary. Only thus can we hope to have finally a work worthy to be named Homoeopathic Therapeutics. Samuel Lilienthal, M.D. New York, 230 West Twenty-fifth Street, September, 1878. HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. ABDOMEN DISTENDED. See Flatulence. ABORTUS. See Miscarriage. ABSCESSES, internal and external. § 1. Internal abscesses generally require the same remedies as ex- ternal. A preference should be given: a. For acute abscesses, to: 1, bell., hep., mere, sil.; 2, apis, ars:, asa., bry., cepa, cham., hep., lach., led., mez., phos., puis., sulph. b. For chronic abscesses, whether cold or occasioned by conges- tions, to : asa., aur., calc, carb. v., con., hep., iod., laur., lye, mang., mere, mere e, nitr. ae, phosph., sep., sil., sulph. Further, if there arises on any internal or external part a painful, red, inflamed swelling1, which ma}' point and form a suppurating swelling, bell., or if this does not succeed in twenty-four to forty-eight hours, Ixepar will often disperse the whole swelling and keep suppura- tion off; but when once matter has formed, mere, will bring on the discharge of the pus and frequently finish the case up, its chief in- dication being, that suppuration must have already taken place. Should the open wound not heal under the continuation of mere, give hep. or silic., which are the real specifics against all benignant or malignant suppurations. If the abscess looks erysipelatous, apis, bell. ; if bluish, lach. § 2. Particular indications : Apis. Threatened or incipient abscesses, where the stinging, burn- ing pains are marked. Arnica. Hot, hard, and shining swelling: pricking pains, and dull stitches in the part; general sinking of strength. Arsenicum. Intolerable burning pains during the fever or when the abscess threatens to become gangrenous ; pus copious, bloody, corroding, ichorous, water}7, and of a putrid smell; great debility, muscular prostration, sleeplessness, and restlessness.

Abscesses discharging a colorless, serous pus ; vio- lent pains on contact, and great sensitiveness of the adjoining parts; intermittent pulsations on the tumor, with darting, tearing pains, somewhat relieved by pressure. 2 10 ABSCESSES — ACNE. Belladonna Pressure, burning, and stinging in abscess ; scarlet redness and hot swelling; pus scanty, cheesy, and flocculent, great sensitiveness to cold air. Hepatic abscess. Bryonia The tumor is either very red or very pale, pains tensive, sharp, sticking, lancinating; throbbings in the part; worse towards evening and at night, heaviness and hardness of abscess. Calendula Induration after surgical operations, followed by suppuration ; the wound looks raw and inflamed, with stinging pains, followed by throbbing, as if it would suppurate ; profuse and exhaust- ing suppuration in traumatic abscess. Hepar sulph. Lacerating and pricking pains in the tumors ; throbbing and beating in the abscess ; the skin over the abscess is highly inflamed, hard, hot, and swelling; pus scanty, bloody, corrod- ing, smelling like old cheese; pains worse at night, and by exposure to cold.

AMAUROSIS AND AMBLYOPIA. Loss of sight, weakness or alteration of vision. § 1. Weakness of sight, from mere dim-sightedness to complete blindness, may arise from so many causes, and may be attended with so many different morbid states of the organism, that there is scarcely a remedy which is not of advantage in the treatment of this affection. I have, therefore, noted only the most efficacious remedies for am- blyopia, furnishing particular indications to serve as points of sup- port, and to facilitate the selection of remedies for particular cases. The principal remedies for amblyopia are : 1, aur., bell., calc, caust., chin., cie, cin., dros., hyose, mere, natr. m., n. vom., phos., puis., ruta, sep., sil., sulph., verat.; 2, agar., cann., caps., cimicif, con., croc, dig., dule, euphr., guai., kal., lach., lye, magn., natr., nitr. a., op., plumb., rhus, see, spig., tart., zinc. For amblyopia, simple weakness of sight: 1, anae, bell., calc, caps., cin., croc, hyose, lye, magn., puis., ruta, sep., sulph.; 2, cann., caust., sep., natr., natr. m., phos., plumb., etc. For amblyopia amaurotica (incipient amaurosis) : 1, aur., bell., calc, caps., caust., chin., cie, con., dros., dule, hyose, mere, natr., natr. ra., nitr. ae, op., phosph., puis., rhus, see, sep., sil., sulph., veratr., zinc. ; 2, agar., cin., dig., euph., guai., kal., kal. bi., lach., lachn. ? lye, n. mosch. ? plumb., veratr. vir. For complete amaurosis, provided it is not incurable, the same remedies should be used as for amblyopia amaurotica, the remedy depending not so much upon the degree of weakness, as upon the totality of the symptoms. Unless secondary symptoms should require other remedies, we may use : bell., calc, mere, phosph., sep , sulph., etc., though any other remedy may be used if indicated by the gen- eral symptoms. For erethic amaurosis, principally: bell., cact., calc, cie, cimicif., con., gels., hyose, mere, nitr. a., op., phos., sep., sulph., etc. For torpid amaurosis : aur., caps., caust., chin., dros., dule, natr., natr. m., op., phos. ae, plumb., see, veratr. § 2. As regards external causes, if the weakness should have been caused by fine work, give bell, or ruta, or perhaps carb. v., calc, gels., lachn., and spigel.; by old age: aur., baryt., con., op., phos., sec. After suppression of a habitual bloody discharge, as haemorrhoids, menstruation, etc.: bell., calc, lye, n. vom., phos., puis., sep., sulph.

By scrofula: 1, bell., calc, chin., cin., dule, mere, sulph.; 2, aur., euphr., hep., n. vom., puis. By drinking: calc, chin., lach., n. vom., op., sulph. AMAUROSIS AND AMBLYOPIA. 15 By suppression of a suppuration or mucous discharge : chin., euphr., hep., lye, puis., sil., sulph. By catching cold in the head or in the eyes: 1, bell., dule; 2, chain., euphr., mere, n. vom., puis., sulph. By external injuries, blows on the head, violent concussions: 1, arn. ; 2, con., euphr., rhus, ruta, or staph. § 3. As regards the affections, which may attend amblyopia, the principal remedies are : If nervous headache: aur., bell., bry., calc, hep., nitr. a., n. vom., nitr. ae, phos., puis., sep., sulph., etc. If congestion of blood to the head: aur., bell., calc, chin., gels., hyose, n. vom., op., phos., sil., sulph., etc. If hearing and the ear is affected: cie, glon., nitr.. a., petr., phos., puis., etc. If by gastric and abdominal ailments: ant., calc, caps., chin., coce, lye., natr. m., n. vom., phos.. puis., sulph.

If by diseases of the heart: aur., cact., calc, cann., dig., lach., phos., puis., sep., spig. If by spasm, epilepsy: bell., caust., cie, ignat., hyose, lach., op., sil., stram., sulph. § 4. As regards symptoms, the remedy should be selected in accord- ance with the totality thereof, both the symptoms of the eye and those of the general organism.

PODAGRA. See Arthritis. POISON, ADIPIC. This dreadful poison sometimes develops itself in badly kept sau- sages or other pork. According to Hering, a beverage composed of equal portions of vinegar and water, to be taken in large quantities, is the best antidote. It may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle. 606 • POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. Instead of vinegar lemon-juice may be employed; and, if the pa- tient should desire, these acids may be used alternately with sugar, black coffee, or fresh black tea. If the dryness of the throat should continue after using these remedies, and, if even slimy injection should not procure an evacua- tion from the bowels, give bry., and continue it as long as the symp- toms continue to be unfavorable. The ailments which remain after bry. sometimes yield to phos. ac ; and, if paralysis or consumption should set in, give ars. or kreas. POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. Poisoning by acids: magnesia usta for all acids, including oxalic acid ; soap in the form of soapsuds. Poisoning by alcohol: the stomach should first be emptied by a mustard emetic, administered by the stomach-pump if necessary; cold water may be dashed against the breast and spine and applied to the head, while various mechanical expedients should be employed to keep the patient awake. A few drops of aqua ammoniae instilled into the throat, or held under the patient's nostrils, will suffice to terminate the attack. Actual intoxication may be often arrested by a cup of strong coffee. Liquor ammoniae acetatis (\ to 1 ounce diluted with sweetened water) frequently dissipates at once the signs of drunken- ness. Poisoning by alkalies: vinegar unites with them, and forming in- nocuous acetates arrests their corrosive action. Poisoning by ammonia: any mild vegetable acid may be employed to neutralize the uncombined ammonia in the system; the local irri- tant effects require demulcent and protective remedies. Poisoning by antimony (chloride of): chalk, magnesia and its car- bonates, combined with demulcent drinks. The hydrated oxide of iron or the saccharated oxide of iron are also recommended. Poisoning by arsenic: hydrated oxide of iron operates chiefly as a mechanical antidote, by enveloping the arsenic and shielding the stomach until the bulk of the mass or emetics cause its discharge; a very large excess of the oxide is essential to its efficiency. Lime- water is an appropriate antidote to arsenious acid, with which it forms an innocuous compound (| even up to 6 ounces with an equal quantity of milk or weak animal broth). Freshly-prepared magnesia ranks next to the freshly-prepared sesquioxide of iron as an antidote. The symptoms of poisoning produced by arsenic taken into the stomach should be met by emetics of ipecacuanha, alum, sulphate of zinc or of copper, and the administration of tepid water containing white of egg, flour, or lime-water, or with the stomach-pump ve may wash out the stomach and then give the antidote; the tendency to collapse must be counteracted by means of hot bottles, bricks, etc, to the limbs and back. Poisoning by belladonna: hypodermic injections of morphia; the antagonism between belladonna (atropia) and physostigma is well known. Poisoning by bromine: aqua ammoniae. Poisoning by calabar (physostigma): atropia; chloral, if adminis- tered within a very few minutes after the bean; morphia. POISONS ANI) THEIR ANTIDOTES. 607 Poisoning by cantharides: give first a vegetable emetic, with copi- ous draughts of warm water, followed hy free use of mucilaginous or albuminous liquids , olive oil is also recommended as efficient in pro- tecting the stomach as well as by occasioning vomiting. Poisoning by carbolic acid: ^ grain apomorphine as°an emetic. Poisoning hy carbonic acid: 1, artificial respiration by mechanical .and electrical means; 2, active stimulation of the skin mechanically by warmth and by irritants, and injection of a strong infusion of coffee into the rectum ; if any oxygen gas can be procured, it may be forced through a laryngeal tube into the lungs. Poisoning by chloral: coffee, galvanism, mechanical stimulants, such as friction or flagellation, etc.; in fact, the treatment of narcotism. Poisoning by chlorine: after emesis with warm water, albumen in the form of milk, white of egg, veal broth, flour and water, or lime- water. Aqua ammoniae. Poisoning by chloroform: amyl nitris, in moderate quantities, an- tagonizes the primary action of chloroform nariosis. by dilating the capillaries of the brain and the skin of the face; artificial respiration; place the patient immediately in a position as will cause the blood to flow into the brain. Poisoning by conium: alcohol, etc.; external warmth after evacua- tion of the poison from the stomach. Poisoning by hydrocyanic acid: stimulation produced by the shock of cold water dashed at intervals upon the chest and spine ; applica- tion of ammonia to the nostrils, induced electricity, artificial respira- tion, and judicious agitation of the patient. Poisoning by hydrosulphuric acid: chlorinated lime, as a chemical antidote, decomposing it. Poisoning by hyoscyamus: evacuate the stomach, apply warmth to extremities and cold to the head; give stimulants, especially coffee and morphia, hypodermically, in small and repeated doses. Poisoning by iodine: give starch or wheaten flour mixed with tepid water; white of egg and milk are also efficient; free vomiting should be encouraged as long as the liquid rejected tinges blue a solution of starch. A solution of bicarbonate of soda may be given as a chemical antidote. Poisoning by lead: in its chronic and constitutional forms give sulphur baths. Iodide of potassium most effectual in eliminating the poison. Poisoning by lime : vinegar, forming innocuous acetates. Poisoning by mercury: ipecacuanha or copious draughts of fluid containing albumen, eggs with milk, flour made into a paste with milk or water; milk and ice ; potassium iodide destroys the com- pound formed by the union of mercury with certain of the tissues and eliminates the poison through the kidneys. Poisoning by muriatic acid : magnesia, soap, bicarbonate of soda, albumen. Poisoning by nitrate of silver : common salt, largely diluted, so as to decompose the nitrate and induce vomiting; the resulting irrita- tion may be allayed by milk, which should also serve for food until the stomach is restored. Poisoning by nitrobenzole: carbonate of ammonia, electricity, hot 608 POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. bath and simultaneously cold douche upon head and spine ; frictions of skin, etc. Poisoning by opium : remove all the poison by the stomach-pump, or if not handy, use emetics of mustard and of half a drachm of sul- phate of zinc; do not allow the patient to fall asleep, dash cold water over head and chest, walk him up and down, shake him between two attendants in the open air, irritate his legs by flagellation with a wet, towel, apply electricity and adrainister strong coffee. In extreme cases artificial respiration must be tried. Poisoning by oxalic acid : powered chalk mixed with water ; slacked lime, as dried whitewash, may be used till a better preparation can be procured. Magnesia. Poisoning by phosphorus: oil of turpentine is efficacious only about twelve hours after the phosphorus has been taken; if possible the oil should he given pure, floated on water, or in capsules (ten to twenty drops every half hour); if it cannot be retained by the stomach, it may be thrown into the rectum ; its absorption by the skin from lini- ments and epithems, and by the lungs from an atomized preparation, or simply from the air of the chamber saturated with the fumes of the oil, may be employed as a supplementary means ; meanw bile all albuminous and oily substances should be withheld. Oxygenated water by the stomach and the inhalation of oxygen gas are considered by many the true antidotes, by converting the phosphorus into hypo- phosphorous and phosphoric acid, which are comparatively inert. Poisoning hy serpents: alcohol maybe used to sustain life until the elimination of the poison can be accomplished. Free excision of the part to prevent absorption of the virus; long continued and fre- quently repeated suction by the mouth; solutio fowleri two drops every half hour and repeated for four hours. Poisoning by strychnia : free vomiting by mustard and warm water or hypodermic injection of one-third of a grain of apomorpliia, after which the bowels should be purged with castor oil or a saline purga- tive ; artificial respiration when asphyxia threatens. As mechanical antidotes to retard the absorption of the poison, lard, sw-eet oil or milk may be given before the spasmodic action becomes developed ; chlo- ral counteracts the effects of strychnia, or bromide of potassium. Calabar bean and strychnia are antagonistic, but exhaustion must be prevented by the free use of stimulants ; four cases are recorded where veratrum vir. and tobacco has saved life. Poisoning by sulphuric acid : chalk, magnesia, carbonate of magne- sia, and the alkaline carbonates. Poisoning by tartarus emet.: the stomach must be emptied as soon as possible by large draughts of tepid water containing or followed by vegetable astringents, as green tea, galls, tannic acid, etc. Its con- stitutional sequelae may be moderated by stimulants. White of an egg, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of water, and used as a drink, especially for : metallic substances, such as quick- silver, corrosive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead, and sulphuric acid ; when the patient complains of violent pains in the stomach or abdo- men, with tenesmus, or diarrhoea, and pains at the anus. Vinegar. Antidotes poisoning with alkaline substances, but is hurtful in cases of poisoning with mineral acids, corrosive vegetable POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. 609 substances, arsenic, and a large quantity of salts. In many cases it removes the ill-effects of aconite, opium, narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, belladonna, carbonic acid gas, hepar sulphur is, poisonous mussels, and fish, and even of adipic acid. The vinegar may he drank or administered by the rectum, alternately with mucilaginous sub- stances. The vinegar should be as pure as possible. Crab vinegar is of itself poisonous. Coffee. Strong black coffee, the beans being little roasted, and drank as hot as possible.- Indispensable for a large number of poisons, especially when causing drowsiness, intoxication, loss of consciousness, or mental derangement, delirium, etc., in general antidoting narcotic substances, such as: opium, nux vom., belladonna, narcotic mush- rooms, poisonous sumach, bitter almonds, prussic acid, and all those substances containing it, bell, colocynth., valer., cicuta, and cham. In case of poisoning with antimony, phosphor., and phosphoric acid, cof- fee is no less indispensable. Camphor. Principal antidote of all vegetable substances, espe- cially such as have a corrosive effect, or when vomiting and diarrhoea, pale face, cold extremities, and loss of consciousness are present. Cam- phor is a specific remedy for the ill-effects of poisonous insects, espe- cially cantharides, whether administered internally or externally. Likewise for the effects of so-called worm medicines, tobacco, bitter almonds, and other fruits containing prussic acid. It is likewise use- ful for the secondary affections remaining after poisoning with acids, salts, metals, phosphorus, poisonous mushrooms, etc., after the poi- sonous substance itself has been removed from the stomach by means of vomiting, etc. Milk. Less useful than is supposed. To procure an artificial covering or envelop for the poison, mucilaginous substances are to be preferred. Fat milk (or cream) is suitable in all cases where oil is useful, and injurious where oil also would be hurtful. Curdled or sour milk is suitable or not suitable in all cases where vinegar is or is not. Olive oil. Lei-s useful than is believed. It is of no use in cases of metallic poisoning, and even hurtful in cases of poisoning with arsenic. It is very bad for the ill-effects of canthar. This remark applies to poisoning with any other insect, or if the poison should have got into one's eye. Oil may be used to facilitate the extraction of insects from the ear in case they should have got into it. Oil is most suitable for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as nitric acid, sulphuric acid, etc. It is sometimes useful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, to be administered alternately with vinegar, and in cases of poisoning with mushrooms. Mucilaginous substances. Drinks or injections of mucilag- inous substances should be resorted to in cases of poisoning with alkalies, especially when administered alternately with vinegar. Soap. Common castile soap, dissolved in four times its bulk of hot water, and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many cases of poi- soning. It may be drank by the cupful; a cupful every two, three, or four minutes, in all cases where the white of an egg is indicated, but does not produce sufficient relief. Soap is particularly useful in all cases of poisoning with metallic substances, especially arsenic, lead, etc. Likewise for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as : sul- phuric acid, nitric acid, etc., with alum, corrosive vegetable substances, 610 POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. castor oil, etc. Soap is hurtful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, such as: lye, nitrate of silver, potash, soda, oleum tartari, ammonium muriaticum (salmiac), ammonium carbonicum, caustic, or burnt lime barytes, etc. Sugar, or sugar-water, one of the best remedies in many cases. In case of poisoning with mineral acids or alkalies, it is best to resort at once to the specific antidote, though sugar is not hurtful. In case of poisoning with metallic substances, various kinds of paint, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper, alum, etc., sugar is preferable to every other remedy, and not till the patient has been relieved by the sugar, administer the white of an egg or soap-water alternately with sugar. Sugar is likewise an excellent antidote in cases of poisoning with arsenic, or corrosive vegetable substances. The first thing we have to do, in treating a case of poisoning, is to remove the poison by vomiting, and then to administer suitable antidotes. If we should not be able to ascertain what kind of poison had been swallowed, we should first administer the white of an egg; and, if there should be stupefaction, coffee. If we should know that the poison is : a. A metallic substance, we have to give : first, the white of an egg, sugar-water, soap-water, and afterward, for the remaining ailments, sulph., which is a real antidote to metals. b. If acids and corrosive substances, give: 1, soap-water; 2, mag- nesia, dissolved in water; 3, chalk-water; 4, alkalies or potash, dis- solved in water, taking a tablespoonful as long as the vomiting con- tinues. Afterwards mucilaginous drinks, and alternately coff. and op. as homoeopathic antidotes. As regards the remaining ailments, give puis, for sulphuric acid ; bry. for muriatic acid ; acon. for the other acids, and especially crab- apple vinegar. If the skin should have been corroded by poisons, apply soap water or a watery solution of caust.; and, if corrosive substances should have got into the eyes, apply sweet almond oil or fresh unsalted butter. e For alkaline substances : 1, vinegar and water, in large quanti- ties ; 2, lemon-juice, or acids from other fruits, diluted with much water; 3, sour milk ; 4, mucilaginous ch-inks, or injections. Vinegar is hurtful in cases of poisoning with barytes; but epsom salt, dissolved in water, renders good service; afterwards: camph. or nitr. spir. The secondary effects of poisoning with potash require coff. or carb. v. ; and those of poisoning with spirits of ammonia, hep. d. For the inhalation of noxious vapors, sprinkle the patient with vinegar and water, or let him inhale the vapors of a solution of chlor.; afterwards, after the return of consciousness, give black coffee, or a few doses of op. or bell. (See Yapors.) e. For vegetable poisons: 1, camphor, by olfaction, or sometimes a drop of the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2, black coffee or vinegar, especially for narcotic vegetable juices. The best antidotes for cor- rosive vegetable juices are soap-water and milk. j°. For animal poisons, see the single poisons, such as : canthar- ides. adipic poison, stings of insects, fish poison, poisonous honey, etc. For toad poison, or similar poisons, if they should have got into the stomach, give powdered charcoal, stirred up with oil or milk; or let POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES — POLYPI. 611 the patient smell of the sweet spirits of nitre, if bad symptoms should set in, and afterward give ars. If a poison of this kind should have got into the eye,.give acon. As regards the wounds or bites inflicted by poisonous animals, Hering proposes the following mode of treatment: For the bites of poisonous serpents, mad dogs, or other poisonous animals, apply heat at a distance, for which purpose anything may be used which is handy at the time ; a red-hot iron, incandescent piece of coal, or even a burn- ing cigar; hold this as near as possible without burning the skin. The heat should be kept up uniformly, and should be concentrated upon the wound exclusively. The edges of the wound should be covered over with oil or fat, and this should be repeated as often as the skin gets dry. If no oil or fat can be had, use soap, or even saliva. Wipe off carefully everything which is discharged from the wound. Continue the application of heat until the patient feels chilly and stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, continue to apply the heat for about an hour, or until the effects of the poison commence to disappear. At the same time administer internal remedies. In the case of a serpent's bite, give the patient a swallow of salt water from time to time, or a pinch of salt or powder, or a few pieces of garlic. If, nevertheless, dangerous symptoms should set in, give a table- spoonful of wine or brandy every two or three minutes : continue this until the symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy at every return of a paroxysm. If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be felt near the heart ; if the wound, at the same time, should be bluish, check- ered like marble and swollen, with vomiting, vertigo, and diarrhcea, give ars.30, and another dose in half an hour, if the symptoms should continue to get worse, or only in three hours, if they should remain unchanged ; if an improvement should set in after the first dose, do not repeat the medicine until the symptoms get worse again. If ars., even if repeated, should have no effect, give bell. In some cases senega may be tried. The chronic sequelae of the bite of a ser- pent require phos. ae and mere If the bite should have been inflicted by a mad dog, apply heat at a distance, as above, and, for the remaining treatment, see Hydro- phobia. If the bite should proceed from a man or animal which is not mad, but furious, give hydrophobin, which is recommended by Hering. Wounds which have become poisonous in consequence of decayed animal matter or pus having got into them, require ars. To guard against unpleasant consequences in case we should have to touch decayed animal substances, poisonous wounds or ulcers, or men and animals infected with contagious diseases, we should hold our hands for ten or fifteen minutes near as strong a heat as can be borne, and afterwards wash them with soap. The use of chlor. in such cases is well known. POLYPI.
