See prescriptions J Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. INFLAMMATORY FEVER. Febris Inflammaloria, Synocha. The inflammatory fever usually continues from 7 to 14 days, and sometimes changes to the nervous or putrid fever. Therapia, (remedy.)—The disease exists in two degrees. 1st. Slight. 2d. Violent. In the first degree the patient should have a wholesome diet, but no meat, or anything which causes irritation. He should have rest, cool air, and frequent draughts of cold water.— See Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10. In the second degree a Venae Sectio is nec- essary, which sometimes should be repeated. Administer a purgative also, see No. 9, which should cause three evacuations daily, and let the patient often drink cold water. See also No. 8. If the patient is better, then give a roborant. See No. 210. NERVOUS FEVER. Febris Nervosa—Typhus Nervosus. The causes of this disease are unwholesome diet, impure air, un- deanliness, sorrow, trouble, the result of too many persons residing in a small room, hemorrhage, Excessus in Venere, use of hot medicines, or the inhaling of contagious atmosphere. The crisis is generally with- in twenty-one or twenty-eight days. Therapia.—This disease is of two degrees. 1st. The Simple or Light Nervous Fever. For this degree the best treatment is not to do 17 too much. Let the patient drink cold water freely, or cream of tartar water: see No. 4. If there are gastric, bilious or mucous complica- tions, then see Nos. 5, 6 and 10. If there are complications of rheu- matism or catarrh, see No. 32. In inflammatory complications, make a Venae Seclio, but only a slight one. If there is congestion of blood to the head, apply to it cold water or ice. Other remedies are foot bathing, mustard poultice on the feet, and see No. 113. If there is sordes in the stomach, give an emetic; see No. 27. 2d. Violent Nervous Fever, Typhus. If there are inflammatory symptoms, bleed slightly. Too much blood-letting causes the fever to assume a putrid character. If there is congestion of blood to the head, make an application of leeches on the head; also apply to it a bladder filled with cold water or ice. For an injection, which is good, see No. 113. Use mustard poultice on the feet, foot bathing, Empl. Cantharid. on the neck, and allow frequent draughts of cold water. If there are no inflammatory symptoms, then see Nos. 11, 12 and 13. If there is great weakness, see Nos. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Other requisites are clean linen, and for drink, cold water, water and fruit, or wine and water. Abdominal Typhus. Typhus Abdominalis. Putrid Fever. Febris Pulrida, sive Typhus Putridus. There are two kinds of Abdominal Typhus. 1st. Typhus Gastricus, which is a combination of impurities in the stom- ach, with nervous fever. Therapia.—Use laxantia and ner- vosa; see Nos. 5 and 14. 2d. Typhus Enteriticus, which is a nervous fever, attended with an in- flammatory affection of the glands of the bowels. Therapia.—See nervous fever. Ap- ply leeches on the bowels, or if there is great heat, use cold water on them. For the internal remedy, see No. 13. In obstinate cases, if the patient is not too weak, resort to the use of calomel. See. No. 22. Therapia.—The restoratives are cold and fresh air, cleanliness, appli- cations of cold water on the head and heart, ablutions of cold water and vin- egar or wine, and rubbing with ice. Use no Empl. Canthar., because they are likely to produce gangraena Use a wash of diluted chlorine water, (about one part of chlorine water to six of rain water.) The drink should be cold water, or wine and water.— 2 9 Give ice pills, and see Nos. 16, 23, and 51. Chlorine water internally is very efficient; see No. 13. EMIGRATION, OR SHIP FEVER. Typhus Navimigratus. Owing to crowded apartments, impure air and uncleanliness, this dis- ease frequently prevails on emigrant vessels. To prevent it, the pas- sengers should remove to the deck twice a day, and in the meantime the several apartments should be thoroughly cleansed. Every ship ought to keep chlorine perfumery, with which both the public and most private apartments of the vessel should occasionally be smoked; see No. 45. Treatment on Board the Ship.—If the patient has no regu- lar evacuations, administer sennae tea. and, after this, six drops of aci- dum muriaticum dilutum, in water and sugar, every two hours. If the patient is weak, give every two hours from 10 to 20 drops of chlorine water, with water and sugar. The drink should be cold water. Milk is necessary for the health of infants. In the absence of this, a good substitute is the milk of eggs, (the yolk of an egg shaken with a pint of water and a little sugar added.) Frequent baths, too, are excellent. Ship fever is nervous in its nature, and readily assumes a putrid char- acter. The treatment should be like that for nervous and putrid fevers. Gastric Fever. ^| Fever from sordes, bile and mucus in the 6tomach and bowels. Febris Gastrica, Biliosa, et Muscosa. Rheumatic and Catarrhal Fe- "^ ver. Febris Rheumatismus, et Febris Catarrhalis. This disease is quite prevalent. The best remedies have been found to be emetics and purgatives, and hence arose the belief about 50 years ago, that all diseases could be cured by emetics and purgatives. Therapia.—First ascertain wheth- er the cause is in the stomach or in the bowels. If it be in the stomach, and there is a disposition to vomit, give an emetic. If it be in the bow- els, purgatives are efficacious; see Nos. 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 49 and 50. Rheumatic Fever is an affection of the membranae semsae (cerous mem- branes) which cover the muscles, ten- dons and bones. Catarrhal Fever is an affection of the membranae mus- cosae (mucous membranes) of the nose, throat, bronchiae, &c, and is caused by insufficient clothing and cold air, which cause irregular action of the skin. Therapia.—Use antiphlogistics and 19 Contagious Fever. Typhus Conlagiosus. Levant, or Bubo Pest Pestis Bubonica. Black Vomiting. Yellow F. ver. Typhus Jcterodes. ]► diaphoretics; see Nos. 7, 8, 24, 29, 30, 31 and 32. If there is a congestion of blood tothelungs,make a Venae Sectio. If there is no congestion, use vesicatoria (Empl. Canth.) on the place affected. When there is only a slight fever left, then see Nos. 25, 33, 98, 99 and 100. In cases of rheumatism and catarrh, flannel clothing should be worn. If from time to time there is pain, use leeches or cupping, and an opium plas- ter. ) Treat the same as Nervous Fever- >• Fresh and pure air is of the highest j importance. This malady is most prevalent on the coast of the Levant, from which it de- rives its name. It prevails especially in Egypt,Smyrna and Constantinople,but sometimes it has appeared in London, Koningsberg and Moscow. The conta- gion is not in the air, but the disease may be taken by touching the patient or something which has been in con- tact with him. The case of the pa- tient is decided in from one to four days. The best treatment is the sup- puration of the glands of the groin and armpit, which are affected. Pure air and rubbing with ice, have done wonders. Use also chlorine wa- ter internally and externally. See Typhus Putrid us. The Yellow Fever is chiefly confin- ed to tropical climes, but sometimes prevails in northern latitudes. The remedy should vary according to the character of the disease. If it is in- flammatory, make a Venae Sectio, and give from 3 to 6 grains of calomel, with sugar, every two or three hours. This is found to be the most effectual remedy. Be careful not to salivate. Pure air is also requisite. See Putrid Fever. 20 COLD PEST—ORIENTAL CHOLERA. Cholera Oritnlalis. The best preventives of Cholera are a wholesome and regular diet, exercise, cleanliness, and comfortable sleeping rooms. Before going to bed, drink the cholera tea; see No. 44. To regulate the bowels, lake from time to time one teaspoonful of Electuary of Sennae. It should be remembered that the treatment varies with constitutions. If it is a young and plethoric constitution, the treatment should be a Venae Sectio, leeches or cupping on the abdomen, then an emetic, see No. 26, then calomel, see No. 66. To discharge the bile, see No. 346.— When the patient has a weak and nervous constitution, use antispas- modica and antinervosa; see Nos. 39, 40 and 350. Experience has taught that in all circumstances an emetic should be administered im- mediately; see No. 26. For children, see No. 503. Every family ought to keep this emetic on hand when Cholera prevails; it has wrought wonders. Treat further with a warm poultice on the stom- ach and bowels, see No. 78, warm bathing, see No. 394, mustard poul- tice on the feet, injection, see No. 87 or 88, rubbing the abdomen with see No. 492, and frequent draughts of cold water, or milk of almonds, see No. 390. If these prove fruitless, then see Nos. 41, 42 and 43. Give an injection of cold water, or one-half ounce of chlorine water, mixed with six ounces of milk of almonds. When the Cholera assumes a typhus character, treat as typhus fever. This disease is caused by coming in contact with the clothes or body of the patient, but not by contagion in the air. Therapia.—Administer an emelic immtdiately. See Nos. 26 and 27.— When the fever is severe, its tre»t- )- ment should be like that of Putrid Fever. The external treatment be- longs to Surgery. Make a poultice of, see No. 395. For ulcers and gan- grenous sores, a very successful rem- edy is one part of chlorine water, with four or six parts of water. Contagious Carbuncle. Carbunculus Contagiosus. Hydrophobia JUabies. Hydrophobia is a poisoning of the nerves. It remains usually inactive or secret two or three weeks, some- times months or years. Therapia.—The best cure is the prophylaxis, (preventive method.) For this purpose burn the wound with a little gunpowder, or with a red hot iron, and keep the sore running with unguen- tum, see No. 48; at the same time, rub unguentum around the wound; see No. 46. Use No. 47 fourteen days, internally, until it produces a 21 y very slight salivation. The sore ought to be kept running one year, but in- stead of unguentum No. 48, use epis- pastic paper, see No. 536, or Ungu- entum Mezerei; see No. 537. It the Hydrophobia break out, and the pa- tient has a plethoric constitution, a Venae Seclio is necessary. After this use Nos. 46, 47, and 48, every two hours, till salivation is produced; also use warm baths. SECTION II. CHRONIC FEVERS. INTERMITTENT FEVERS, AGUES. Febres Intermittentes, Lentae, Chroiisae. Fever every 24 hours. Febris Quotidianae. Fever every 48 hours. Febris Tertianae. Fever every 72 hours. Febris Quarlanue. Fever every 7 days. Febris Octanae. Double Quotidian Fever. Febris LupUcata Quotidiana. Double Tertian Fever. Febris Duplicata Terliana. Double Quartan Fever. Febris Duplicata Quurtana. When fever returns periodically, (while present, Paroxysmus, while ab- sent, Apyrexia,) it is called Intermit- tent Fever. '1 he treatment should be according to the cause, (causa morbi.) Isd. If the cause is gastric, bilious, or mucous, then see Gastric, Bilious and Mucous Fevers, section I. 2d. If it is rheumatic or catarrhal, >see Rheumatic and Catarrhal Fevers, section I. 3d. If it is worms, see Worm Fevsr, section XIII. If the system and the tongue are clean, the bowels regular, and the fe- ver continues, use antifibrilis, (fever lemedies.) Seo Nos. 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 and 60. A vegetable diet is desirable. Obstinate Quartan Fever. ^ Sometimes a continuance of the fe Febris Quurtana Pertinacia. \ ver is caused by b d diet, the use o Peruvian bark, or Quinine belore the 22 | system is thoroughly cleansed, ob- ! structions, or by masked Syphilis. # Therapia.—Give first an emetic, see No. 28, after this see Nos. 56, 57, 58 and 59. Some have recommend- ed arsenicum, but it is uncertain and 3 dangerous, and ought not to be used. MASKED INTERMITTENT FEVER. Febres Intermittentes Larvatae. Fever which returns with headache. Febris Intermittens Cephalea. Fever which returns with toothache. Febris Intermittens Ondontal- gia. Fever which returns with in- flammation of the eyes. Febris Intermittens Ophthal- mia. Fever which returns with in- flammation of the lungs. Febris Intermittens Pneumonia These fevers are masked under the forms of headache, toothache, inflam- mation of the eyes or lungp. If the fever departs, the patient is better till :>it commences again. Therapia.—If there are symptoms of inflammation of the lungs, make a Venae Seclio. The other treatment is like that for Intermittent Fever. DANGEROUS OR DEADLY INTERMITTENT FEVERS. Febres Intermittens Maligna she Perniciosa. Fever which returns with apo- plexy. Febris Intermittens Apoplec- tica. Fever which returns with con- tinued sleep. Febris Intermittens Soporosa. Fever which returns with con- vulsions. Febris Intermittens Convulsiva Fever which returns with suf- focation. Febris Intermittens Suffocato- ria. Fever which returns with chol- These fevers are called dangerous or deadly intermittent fevers, because every commencement of fever brings the patient in great danger. It is necessary to suppress the fever imme- diately, and this can be done with J^Nos. 60, 61 and 62. If the patient has a plethoric constitution, make a Venae Sectio. After the fever is sup- pressed, seek to ascertain the cause of the fever. If it is gastric, bilious, mu- cous, or worms, then see Gastric, Bil- ious and Worm Fevers. Febris Intermittens Cholerica. Fever which returns with colic. Febris Intermittens Colica. 23 CHRONIC OR LINGERING FEVERS. Febres Chronicae sive Lentae. Lingering Nervous Fever. Febris Lenta Nervosa. This fever sometimes succeeds Ner- vous fever. The causes are over ex- ertion of ihe mind and body, excessus in venere et onania, hemorrhage, flu- or albus and gonorrhoea Therapia.—Use warm, aromatic bathing, see No. 396, malt bathing, pure air, country resort, and see Nos. 63, 64 and 65. Pure sweet wine, and a good climate are beneficial. Consumptive Fever. Ftbris Phthisica. Hectic Fever. Febris Hectica. Lingering Symptomatic Fever. Febris Lenta Symptomatica. See Consumption, section VII. See Hectica, section VII. This fever is attended with Arthri- tis, Syphilis or Scrofula. The treat- ment is the same as for them. SECTION III. INFLAMMATIONS AND CONGESTION OF BLOCD. Inflammationes et Congestiones Sanguineae. Inflammation of the Brain. Phrenitis sive Encephalitis. Anything which causes irritation of the head is liable to produce Enceph- alitis, for which a Venae Sectio is nec- essary; also leeches on the temples and neck, cold water or ice on the head, foot-bathing and injections; see \ No. 113. See also Nos. 5, 9, 10, 66. Apply a mustard poultice or Empl. Cantharid. on the feet If the disease assumes a nervous or adynamic char- acter, (Phreni is Nervosa sive Ady- namica,) then see Nos. 14,15,16,17, 18 and 20. 24 Delirium Tremens.

There are six different results of dreaming. 1st. Having a confused idea of things. 2d. Talking. 3d. Hearing and answering questions. 4th. Rising from the bed. 5th. Walking in the sleep. 6th. Clairvoyance. It is not unusual for clairvoyants to sleep in the day time, and fre- quently in a standing or sitting posture, when they will not only an- swer questions, but attend to business as well as if they were awake, hence they are called waking dreamers. In the dark ages, such per- sons were supposed to be gifted with supernatural powers, and to be able to foretell future events, but in this enlightened age, medical sci- ence has proved it to be nothing more than a malady of the body, caused by over excitement, or some other causes which produce like results. The treatment should be the same as for Hysteria. If the patient is accustomed to leave the bed, it is advisable to place by the bedside a tub of cold water in which he may step, and thus be immediately awakened. Nightmare. Ephialtes, sive Incubus.

PREVENTIVES OF CONSUMPTION Prophylaxis Phthisica. There are no diseases which destroy more lives than consumption and what is the cause of this awful mortality ? 1st. The want of better medical laws in regard to licensing Phy- sicians. . 2d. Taking cold. Tissot says, there are more who die by taking cold than by "contagious diseases. Hufeland, Suringer. and Vrolik are of opinion that one-third of the consumptions are produced by taking eold. . 3d. Measles, which often make tubercles in the lungs. Persons predisposed to Consumption should avoid every thing which is likely to produce irritation of and congestion to the lungs, such as pepper vine-ar, mustard and pickles, and all perfumery, smoking or Shewing tobaoco, impure air, cold north-east winds, warm sleeping rooms ■ind all improper exertion, such as dancing, running, loud speaking, or singing and blowing wind instruments. All spirituous liquors are bad. Use more vegetable than animal diet, such as purslane, spinach, as- paragus small carrots, chicory, dandelion, new beans, peas, endive, salad5 boiled soft, according to the taste, to be eaten with a little butter and salt Other requisites are flannel clothing a calm mind, not too early marriage, and moderate exercise on horseback. In symptoms of inflammation make a slight Venae Sectio, also a Fonticula on the arm, which should be kept constantly open. If there is predisposition to Consumption, (Phthisiois.) m order to prevent it the following symptoms ought to be observed: l«t Pain and Dry Cough, or ^ Take from four to six ounces of blood, see Nos 32 and 221, give the ► whey from milk, and the juice of grated cucumbers. Use no mercury or iron preparations. H. 1WU Mi.v. ~-J----=» ■ Symptoms of Inflammation. 50 2d. Symptoms of Atonia, ] Riding on horseback is beneficial (weakness.) | Also see Nos. 222 and 223.

For Psoriasis, (exanthem.,) use sulphur; see Nos. 143 and 147. 4th. Nervous Weakness of the Lungs and Body. The patient should drink plenty of milk, s-uch as cow's milk, ass' milk, or goat's milk, live a eountry life, and take moderate exercise on horseback. > The diet should be pearl barley, ar- row root, oysters, or any other light diet, and for weakness of the nerves, see No. 252.

This is called the prophylactic or preventive cure, and experience has taught that it brings many safely past the dangerous rock, for the older the patient, the less liable is he to Consumption. Purulent Consumption of the " Lungs. Phthisis Pulmonalis Purulen- ta. The recommendations are sea-air, sea voyages, the air of eow-stables, northern climates, and Nos. 221,222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 139, 140. 141, 227, 228,229, 231, 232, 233, 234 and 235.

The remedies are flannel clothing, a fonticula on the arm, aromatic bath- ing, see No. 396, sea bathing, exer cise, country life, and see Nos. 242, > 243, 244, and 245, and if the breath- ing is free, use Nos. 246 and 247. Gout, Syphilis, or Metastasis to the lungs, ought to be treated like trout. Syphilis or Metastasis. Atrophy of the Lungs, Tu- bercle Consumption, Dry or Scrophulous Consumption. Atrophia Pulmonalis, Phthisis Tuberculosa, sicca sive Scrophulosa. Consumption of the Throat. Phthisis Trachealis et Laryngea. See preventives of Consumption. For all symptoms of inflammation, it is necessary to take 2 or 3 ounces of blood. Also apply leeches, cupping, and after these an Empl. Canthar. on the part affected. Make, too, an ar- tificial sore. Calomel is dangerous, because it is likely to produce irrita- , tion. The juice of the HerbaTussi- lago, Cherefolii, freshly pressed out, is very effectual. So, too, is that of the cucumber. Give, also, decoction of Dandelion, Rad. Graminis, and fresh honey, and take moderate exer- cise. Riding on horseback, flannel clothing, and a fonticula on the arm,. are good. See also Nos. 80,107,108,, 137, 144, 208, 221, and 224. Sometimes apply leeches, and a fonticula on the arm. The patient should not sing, and should converse but little. Bathe with salt, and be- fore breakfast drink herring's milk,, which is made of pickled herrings boiled in milk; see No. 248. Use the juice of freshly pressed leaves of Herba Cherefolii, or Tussilago, and see Nos. 107, 116,144, 146, and 224. Put a plaster around the throat, see Nos. 249 and 250.

For the treatment of the cancer of the tongue or stomach, see Chronic Vomiting, section VI.— For external atrophy, (atrophia loca- lis externa,) apply No. 216. Hectic. Hectica. The frequent use of blue pills and calomel makes, alas, too many hectic 53 constitutions. So, too, does arsenic, bad attendance of Syphilis, Exan- y them, Gout, Rheumatism or Fevers. Therapia.—Let the patient take frequent draughts of milk or beef tea, and use warm baths and sulphur baths. See Nos. 210, 211, 252, 253. SECTION VIII. DROPSY AND AIR COLLECTIONS. Hydropes et Pneumatoses. DROPSY IN THE ABDOMEN. Hydrops Ascites. The treatment should vary according to the cause of the disease.— If the cause is inflammation, make a Venae Sectio, and use Nos. 4, 5, 7,0, 22. If the cause is Atonia, from hemorrhage, then use quassia and martialis. For syphilis, use mercurialia. For oppression of exanthem, (Psoriasis,) use sulphur internally and externally. If the cause is con- stipation of the bowels, then use'Extract. Taraxac, with diuretica. For promoting the diuresis, see Nos. 254, 255, 256, 257, 258 and 259 The endmnic method has been practised with great success.— It consists in applying an Empl. Cantharid. as large as a cent on the middle of the Linea Alba. After the blister is formed, cut it off, and put on the place every day, three grains of Pulvis or Extract. Scillae, and cover it with a little Empl. Gummosum. Frequent draughts of cold water, with a little Rhenish wine, is very good. If this treatment has not the desired effect, and the patient is not too weak, use the drastica in combination with diuretica, which, if carefully'administered, will prove very beneficial. See Nos. 114,115, <>00 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 260, and 267. # if this does not relieve the patient, Paracentesis Abdominals is nec- essarv After every paracentesis, roborantia with diuretica should be administered. See Nos. 149, 186, 209, 210, 255, and 256. Dropsy in the Chest. 1 The treatment for Dropsy in the uJrlhnmx I Chest should be the same as for As- Hodro■ chewing a piece of blotting paper, cold water on the genetalia,a tampon of cot- on, with a solution of alum in the nose, frequent draughts of cold water, and 56 Spitting Blood, or Hemor- rhage from the Mouth and Throat. Sputum Cruenlum, sive Hae- morrhagia Oris et F'aucium. see Nos. 4,11, and 538. For plethoric- constitutions, see Nos. 9 and 10. For scorbutus or putridity, see Nos. 12 and 53. Generally the cause is scorbutus. See Nos. 280 and 281. Sometimes the cause is Haemor- " rhoides Faucium, instead of Haemor- rhoides Ani. If so, the treatment is. the same as for Haemorrhoides. COUGHING BLOOD FROM THE LUNGS. Haemoptysis sive Haemorrhagia Pulmonum. The patient should rest much and speak but little. Cold drinks and cool air are requisite. In case the constitution is plethoric, make a Venae Sectio, and give one teaspoonful of powdered kitchen salt, to be taken dry and swallowed with a little eold water, l'epeatthe dose every quarter of an hour if necessary. Haemoptysis is of four differ- ent kinds: 1st. Inflammatory or Plethoric. For this kind make a Venae Sec- tio, and use Nos. 282 and 283, foot bathing, and cold water on the chest, and an injection. If there is suppression of the menses, or hae- morrhoids, apply leeches ad anum. 2d. Spasmodic. If there is congestion of blood, apply leeches, and see further Nos. 283, 2.84, 285, 280, and 288. Also put a lukewarm poultice on the chest, see No. 78. 3d. Gastric or Bilious See Nos 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 4th. Weakness of the Lungs, arising from Phthisis Pituitosa, or Scor- butus. Apply cold water and ice on the chest. See Nos. 290, 291,. and 292. After every Haemoptysis, a good diet is necessary. VOMITING BLOOD FROM THE STOMACH. Haematemesis sive Vomitus Cruentus. In all cases of vomiting blood, it should not be checked too sudden- ly, because there is danger of causing inflammation and induration of the stomach. Commence by administering mild astringents, see Nos. 1, 84, and 85. Apply vinegar on the stomach, and a warm narcotic poultice on the lower part of the abdomen, see No. 78. Use also mustard foot baths, see Nos. 88 and 293. For suppression of the menses or haemorrhoids, apply leeches on the anus or genitalia. For Spasms, see Nos. 294 and 287. If this is not sufficient,, apply cold water or ice on the stomach, also give ice pills, see No. 290. After every discharge of blood, let the patient have a. good diet, and. admin- ister resolventia,, see No. 295. 57 HEMORRHOIDS— PILES. Haemorrhoidcs. When the patient is affected with Hemorrhoids, he should not fol- low any sedentary employment, but take continual exercise, long jour- neys on foot or horseback are good, have more veg.-table than animal diet, and abstain from all stimulating drinks, not taking any aloes or bilious pills, because they produce more plethora a"bdominalis. The best medicines for regulating the bowels, are resolventia, (mild purga- tives,) see Nos. 296, 297, and 298; also Oleum Ricini. Natural or artificial sulphur bathing is good. If there is weakness make applica- tions of cold water and give injections of cold water. Give als - the tea of Flores Millefolii, the use of which sliould be coniinucd, giving one cup of two drachms each, morning and evening. External Piles.—Therapia—Replace the protrusion. If there is inflammation, use leeches, cold water, and 01. Hyoscyami; see Nos. 299 and 300. Haemorrhoides Scirrhosae belong to Surgery. The piles flux ought not to be checked, if it does not cause weak- ness. It the piles flux cease and cause inflammatory colic, make a Venae Seclio and apply leeches ad anum. Black Sickness. Melaena sive Morbus Nig The difference between Vomitus Cruentum and Black Sickness, is, that Black Sickness is a vomiting of a cor- ruptive, tar-like, black blood, and Vomitus Cruentus, (vomiting of blood,) red blood. The cause is great debilitv. See Nos. 1, 285, 290,290, 295, 301, 252, and 253. Use vine- gar on the stomach, aromatic bathing, see No. .196, an injection of beef tea, and continue the use of Flores Mille- folii tea. Hemorrhage from the Blad- " der. Urination of Blood. Ilaematuria, sive Mictus Cru enlus. The treatment should vary accord- ing to the cause of the disease. See Haemoptysis. It is more frequently the adynamic urination of blood, and may be known by the absence of pain. Make ap- plications of cold water ad regio re- nalis. and see Nos. 216, 301, 290. and 292. Use no beer, wine or ci- >• der, but take good rest. For spasms, see Nos. 294 and 287. In case of injury from external causes, make a Venae Sectio, apply cold water, and see No. 302. For unskilful use of CanthariJes, see No 289. 58 In all cases of Haematuria, one ta- blespoonful of oil of almonds, morn- ing and evening, is very beneficial. Spotted Sickness. Huematosis, Petechianosis, sive Morbus Maculosus, Haemor- rhagicus Werlhojii. Small and large dark blue spots appear on the skin, caused by weak- ness and impure blood. This disease belongs to the category of scorbutus. See Nos. 11, 12, 51, 184, and 253. Oak bark baths are also beneficial. 2d. MUCOUS AND OTHER DISCHARGES, NOT BLOODY. Blennorrhoeae. Salivation. Ptyalismus. The cause is the too long continued use of quicksilver preparations, exter- nally or internally. From time to time administer pur- gatives, and use sulphur and warm baths, see No. 30f. Also give opium and lastly iodine; see Nos. 303, 445, * 135, 143, 147, 153, and 206. For a mouth wash, see No. 304. If the cause is scorbutus, then treat as scorbutus. Sometimes the cause arises from a bad habit of spitting, and from chew- ing and smoking tobacco. EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION. Ephidrosis. This is generally a symptom of other diseases, as Phthisis, Scorbu- tus, Nervous Weakness, Cessation of the Menses, &c. In the 17th century, it prevailed as an epidemic in Europe, called Sudor Anglicus. The cause is frequently weakness of the skin. If so, use Acida Mineralia; sec- Nos. 290, 306, and 307. For perspiration in case of consumption, hectic or scorbutus, wash with vinegar, cold water, and a very weak solution of acidum sulphu- ricum, with water. Use also ice externally and internally. More frequently it is Ephidrosis Localis (local perspiration) of the genitalia, hands or feet. In this case, bathe with an infusion of Ger- man chamomile and sage. Incontinence of Urine. Enuresis, sive Incontinentia Urinae. If the cause is spasms, use Hyos- cyami, see No. 224. For costive- ness, purgatives. For worms, an in- 59 | fusion of semen santonicum. If the y cause is gravel, see Nos. 308 and 217. For Enuresis Alonica, use robo- rantia, exitantia, and astringentia; al- so douches of cold water and elec- tricity. MORBID URINARY SECRETIONS. Diabetes. There are three kinds of Diabetes: 1st. Diabetes Spurious.—Urine like water. 2d. Diabetes Verus.—Urine like milk or wine, showing the color of the person's drink. 3. Diabetes Mellitus.—Honey or sugar urine; sweet but without smell. The quantity is sometimes very large. Hufeland cites cases in which the discharges have been from 50 to 100 lbs. in 24 hours. One pound of this urine contains one ounce of sugar. Therapia.—If the cause is Rheumatism, Hypochondria, Hysteria, Gravel, Worms or Metastasis, treat accordingly. For Diabetes Mellitus, bathing, animal food, and No. 309, are gene- rally effectual. Mucous Discharges from the "} In Cystorrhoea, the mucus dis- Bladder. charges every time with the urine.— Cystorrhoea sive Catarrhus The cause is irritation of the bladder Vesicae. from gravel, stones, or chronic inflam- ► mation, sometimes from piles. In this ' case, apply leeches, and give sulphur internally. For catarrh, rheumatism, or metastasis, flannel, warm bathing, and a fonticula are efficient. CLAP. Gonnorrhoea. The true Gonorrhoea is the Gonnorrhoea Syphilitica, but there is likewise a bastard Gonnorrhoea (Gonnorrhoea Spuria,) which is caused by taking cold, (catarrh,) or rheumatic, gout, scrophulous, hemorrhoi- dal or metastatic affection of the membranae mucosae, and should be treated accordingly. Also inject up the membranae mucosae the Bal- samus Copaiva, which acts as a specific; see No. 331. Use no injeo- tions, because the disease is apt to produce metastasis. This disease continues from three to eight weeks. 60 SYPHILITIC GONORRHOEA. Gonorrhoea Syphilitica sive Primaria.—In Females, Fluor Albus. This, disease has two periods: 1. The inflammatory period, in which quiet rest is necessary. Let the patient eat no meat, or anything which produces more irritation. Frequently drink a Decoctura Semen Lini; see Nos. 84, 85, and 310. Wash with warm water, and wear a suspensory. If there is pain apply leeches. For plethoric constitutions, make a Venae Sectio. Give no injections, because they produce contraction of the urethra. To make a wash, see No. 311. For painful erections, see Nos. 129 and 73. Also apply a lukewarm poultice, see No. 78. This period continues about fourteen days, when the second period commences. SECOND OR CHRONIC PERIOD—GLEET. Stadium Secundum sive Chronicum. Commence with the Balsamica, see Nos. 331, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, and 318. If this is not sufficient, then give injections of aqua calcis, or see Nos. 319, 320, 321, 322, 3 23, 324, and 325. Also cold bathing is beneficial. The physician ought to notice whether there are complications, as scrophula, rheumatic or other affections of the mem- branae mucosae. For the treatment of the syphilitic cancer, see Syphilis, section XII. POLLUTIO ET ONANIA. The pollutiones nocturni (night pollutions) arise from different causes, as from worms, costiveness, constipations, plethora abdominalis, imagination, bad company, the reading of obscene books, too luxurious living. In this case the patient should have a vegetable diet, no meat, eggs, wine or beer, take plenty of exercise, sleep in cool rooms, not lie on the back, or sleep too long, and bathe the genitalia with cold water. Use camphor externally, river and steel bathing, see No. 332, See also Nos. 11, 184, 326, 209, 210, 211, 327, 169, and 328. DISCHARGES FROM THE EAR. Olorrhoea. This is generally a disease of children, caused by scrophula or me- tastasis, catarrhalis, rheumatism, or caries. The treatment should be in accordance with the cause. If it is scrophulous or rheumatic affec- tion, apply from time to time an Empl. Cantharid., or make a fonticula back of the ear, and cleanse the ear with lukewarm milk, or soap and water. All zinc, lead, or quicksilver preparations must be avoided, for there is danger of transferring the disease to the nerve of the ear, and pro- ducing deafness. 61 Discharge of the Food. Lienteria. If the cause is worms, metastasis rheumatism, or gout, it should be treated accordingly. For cleansing the stomach, see No. 50. See also Nos. 326, 134, 149, 210. and 211.— Also use good sweet old wine, Mala- ga wine, and porter, and wash the stomach with No. 216. Discharge of a Substance like "" Chylus or Milk. Fluxus Coeliacus. Discharge of Bloody Water or Mucous Substance. Fluxus Hepaticus. The treatment should be as for Hemorrhoids. Prescribe also amara and roborantia. See Nos. 326, 210, 211 and 88. J The treatment ought to vary ac- cording to the cause of the disease. If it is scorbutus treat it as such.— Use also Amara; see No. 148. DIARRHOEA SUMMER DISEASES. Diarrhoea Aestiva. Rheum in small quantities is a true Specificum Antidiarrhoicum. The patient ought to have a strong diet, no acids, fruit, cider, beer or o-reens, but rice, barley, chicken or beef soup. See Nos. 340 and 343. If the evacuations are like water, use No. 342, and if there is a disposition to vomit, administer an emetic, see No. 26, and then sec No. 343. If there is pain in the bowels, use No. 344. Apply a poul- tice on the abdomen, see Nos. 78 and 345. If this is not sufficient, see Nos. 346, 347, 348, 349, and 350. Give an injection of starch with opium. Rheumatic Diarrhoea. Diarrhoea Rheumalica. Let the patient drink German chamomile tea, barley or rice water, and wear flannel. If there are bil- > ious complications, the treatment should be the same as for summer diarrhoea. Apply an Empl. Canthar. on the abdomen. Chronic or Habitual Diar- rhoea. Diarrhoea Chronica sive Ha- bitualis. See Nos. 351, 352, 353, 354 and 355. Rub the abdomen with see No. 216. The patient should wear flannel and use the aromatic bath, see y No. 396. For great weakness, 62 douches, milk, and cold meat are beneficial. For metastasis, make a fonticula. Colliquative Diarrhoea. "} This is a symptom of comsump- Diarrhoea Colliquativa. \^ tion, tabes, hydrops, or hectic. Give an injection of starch with opium. See Consumption, &c. Putrid Diarrhoea. [ This is a symptom of scorbutus.— Diarrhoea Putrida. \ For treatment see scorbutus. Purulent or Pus Diarrhoea. ~) See Nos. 290, 252, 253, and 307. Diarrhoea Purulenta. I Give an injection of two drachms of Copaiva Balsam, mixed with the yolk of an egg and water. DYSENTERY. Dysenteria. The difference between Dysenteria and Diarrhoea is, that in dysen* teria there is an obstruction, and in diarrhoea a discharge of foul mat- ter. In dysenteria, there are violent pains (tenesmus) and fever, in diarrhoea there are none. Dysenteria discharges only a little blood or mucus, diarrhoea a large quantity. If in dysentery the discharges be* come larger, the patient is saved. The general character of dysentery is rheumatic-bilious. In this case it is necessary to give an emetic of ipecacuanha. After vomiting, use Nos. 5, 9 or 10, to be used twenty- four hours. If the patient is no better, see Nos. 350 and 356, giving frequent draughts of bread, barley or rice water, or gum Arabic with water.—• Rub the abdomen with see No. 357. If, however, the patient is no better, and the abdomen painful, make a Venae Sectio or apply leeches. See also Nos. 84 and 358. If the tongue is foul, and there are no symptoms of inflammation, use No. 10. If the evacuations are like water, prescribe an emetic and after vomiting, use Nos. 359 or 360. If there are no symptoms of foulness or inflammations, and the sickness continues, it is what is called Rheumatism of the Bowels, (Rheumatismus Intestinorum.)— LTse in this case, Empl. Cantharid. on the stomach, warm bathing, and see Nos. 356 and 237. Give an injection with starch and opium. If the sickness continues and the patient is weak, it is called Nervous or Adynamic Dysentery, (Dysenteria Nervosa sive Adynamica.) For this sec Nos. 361, 15, and 16. Good wine and warm bathing are benefic- ial. When it assumes a putrid character, it is called Putrid Dysenterv, (Dysenteria Putrida.) See Nos. 362, 13, and 307. Sometimes the dysentery ceases partially, but not entirely. Expe- rience has taught that in this case, the following are the be6tantidotes: 63 See Nos. 350, 351, 362, 353, 364, 365, and 366; also the celebrated Vitrum Antimonii Ceratum, see 367 and 368. Beeswax mixed with the yolk of an egg, and warm bathing, arc very good. Obstruction of Dysentery is produced by using too much opium, wine or brandy. The symptoms are pain in the bowels, great distress, &c. If there are symptoms of inflammation, use Oleosa, see Nos. 84, 181, and 22. Apply leeches and give injections, see No. 88; also apply an antispasmodic poultice, see No. 78. Warm bathing is also good. For spasms, use Extractum Hyoscyami, see No. 84. Af- ter the dysentery is checked, the use of Amara is necessary in every case, see No. 210. Flannel clothing and good diet are likewise indis- pensable. Cholera. ) The patient should take draughts of bread, barley, or rice water, gum Arabic dissolved in water, and weak chicken tea, which is called the Spe- cificum of Sydenham. Take also the Potio Riveri, see Nos. 1,294, and 78. Also injections with oil, see No. 88. Dry cups on the stomach and warm * bathing are quite effectual. If the constitution is plethoric, apply leeches or make a slight Venae Sectio. For weakness, (Adynamia,) see No. 287, using three or four drops every half hour. Old Malaga wine is quite beneficial. For Cholera Orientalis, sec Sec. I. SECTION X, SUPPRESSIONS- Suppressions. OBSTRUCTION OR COSTIVENESS. Qbstructio Alvi sive Dyscopia. The patient should exercise, drink cold water, weak beer or cider; have a vegetable diet and cat fruit. Give no cathartic salt, because after a while it produces more costiveness. See Nos. 114, 115, 3**9, 370, 371, and 372. 64 OBSTRUCTION OF THE BOWELS WITH VOMITING OF EXCRETIONS. Ileus sive Mezerere. It ought to be first ascertained if the patient have a Hernia Incar- eerata, if so, the Herneotomia is necessary. If the cause is inflamma- tion, the treatment should be the same as for inflammation ot the bowels. If the cause is only weakness, or defective Mot.is Peristalticus, use Oleosa, fresh Oleum Lini, one or two tablespoonfuls every hour, or see No. 37:3. For vomiting, see No. 1. If no evacuations arc produced, uive Oleum Ricini, see No. 374, 375, 376, 78, and 539. For drink, use cold water. Also cold water on the abdomen, (jive an injection of cold water. If all this is fruitless, and there is no inflammation, use a half pound of Mercurius Vivus, with a tablespoonful of No. 358, mviutr it all at a single dose. SUPPRESSION OF THE URINE. Ischuria. i st. Inflammatory Suppression of the Urine. Ischuria Injlammatoria. Make a Venae Sectio, apply leeches, give an injection, and see Nos. 88, 7&, ! 75, 81, and 73.

Stadium Irritationis. SMALL POX. Variola* ""} It is necessary at first to have coht and fresh air, and a moderate use of calomel. For children, see No. 151, and for adults, No. 22. Do not allow the patient to lie on a feather bed, and let the covering be light. Wash the face and eyes with cold water-, and cleanse the bowels with No. 380, There should be two evacuations every day. If the constitution is plethoric, and there is great fever, a ► Venae Sectio is necessary. For con» vulsions in children, fresh air (place the child at the open window) and an injection are requisite. For delirium in adults, make a Venae Sectio, and use footbaths, a mustard poultice on the feet, injections, and see No. 9. To relieve the eyes, wash them with cold water, or put upon them a piece of linen cloth with a little dry camphor on it, and see No. 505.— sometimes an emetic is necessary. 5 69 2. State of Eruption. Stadium Eruptionis. 3. State of Suppuration. Stadium Superatioms. 4. State of Drying: Stadium Exciccationis. Chicken Pox, Small Pox. Varicella, Variola Spuria. ) The same treatment is requisite as £ in the first stage. Also see No. 381. If the Small Pox h separated (Va- riolae Discretae,) the same treatment is sufficient as in the second state, but if it runs together, (Variolae Conflu- entes,) open the pox so as to let, out the pus. Clean linen should be had each day, and there should be regular evacuations. Let the patient drink frequently of lemonade, decoc- tion of tamarinds, and see No. 11.— For pain or restlessness in the night, see No. 240. Gastiie, bilious, ner- vous, or putrid complications ought to be treated accordingly. Let the patient take frequent draughts of milk w&ey, Decoctunr Radic. Graminis, and give also 20 or 30 drops Spir. Nitri Dulcis, three times a day, to be continued three days. For regulating the bowels, see No. 383. After the small pox, pure air fe necessary. Bathing is good, and the diet should he good, bat do not eat meat too soon. It is the nature of this disease to cure itself. A mild purgative is good. See No. 6. VACCINATION. Vaccinella. Experience has taught that for Vaccination it is better tor use the clear water (Lympha) of the Small Pox, and not the pus. It should! be taken seven or eight days after vaccination, and kept between two classes one and a half iuches square, and closed from the air. It is necessary that the person from whom it k taken should be healthy, and free from eruption of the skin, or scrophula. Varioloid. Pox. Varioloids Moemied Small This is a mild form of Small Pox, occurring after vaccination. The cure is the same as for Variola; 67 MEASLES. Morbilli. 1. State of Infection and Irri- tation. Stadium Infectionis et Irrita- tio nis. k'. State of Eruption, Stadium Eruptionis. 8. Flourishing State. Stadium Flcrescentiu. The Morbilli affects in a peculiar manner the Membranae Muscosae, especially of the lungs, and appears like a catarrhal affection. Therapia.—Let the temperature be moderate, being about 75 G Far. Sleep on a mattrass bed, and remain on the bed in the summer fourteen days, in the winter three weeks. In the winter remain in the room six weeks, because a cold is sufficient to produce tubercle formations in the lungs, and Phthisis. A good diet is also necessary, frequently taking mild drinks. Also see No. 381. This treatment is generally sufficient. If the eyes are inflamed, wash them with warm milk, a Decoctum Herbae Malvae, or muciluge of quince seed. Employ no astringentia or lead prep- arations. For drink, give bread or barley water, or elder flower tea, and to relieve the cough, see No. 384 or 385. If there is inflammation, apply leeches for children, and for adults make a Venae Sectio. If there is a disposition to vomit, give an emetic. "} The treatment should be the same j as in the first state. If there is metastasis to the lungs,. '' use Nos. 30, 31, and 24, an Empl. j Canthar., a mustard poultice on the breast, and sometimes an emetic. 4. State of Exfoliation. Stadium Desquamations. The patient should be kept warm, and have a good diet. See No. 364. If there is a new inflammatory af- fection of the lungs, apply leeches, and then an Empl. Canthar., and give calomel. For children, see No. 151; for adults, see No. 22. If there is continued cough, and danger of tu- bercle consumption, see Nos. 8, 24, 35, 81, and 82, and use flannel, warm aromatic bathing, see No. 396, and make a Fonticula on the arm. 68 VACCINATION OF THE MEASLES. Vaccinatio Morbilli. A very successful mode of vaccination in epidemic, is to use the tear* from the eyes, or the blood from a measle when they are in the flour- ishing state. SCARLET FEVER. Scarlatina. 1st. STATE OF ERUPTION, AND 2d. FLOURISHING STATE. Stadium Eruptionis et Florescentia. This disease seems to be caused by an atmospherical contagion, af- fecting especially the skin and throat, and is easily transferred to the brain. To prevent this, it is necessary to keep the patient moderately warm, not allow him to leave the room under two or three weeks, and administer elder-flower tea, barley or rice water, and a mild purgative, see Nos. 380 and 381. In case of inflammation, apply leeches, but make no Venae Seclio, .because this disease may take an adynamic form. For Angina and affection of the brain, apply leeches, make an infu- sion of elder flower tea for gargle, let the patient have flannel around the throat, and apply a mustard poultice on the neck. If the skin is dry, and there is a burning heat, accompanied with deafness, the skin should be suddenly cooled with cold water; wipe off and re- peat the operation every two or three hours. For nervous complications, see Nos. 13, 14, and 15. For putridity, see Nos. 16, 17, 18, and 20, and use chlorine water internally and ex- ternally. For Angina Gangraenosa, see Section III. 3. State of Exfoliation. esquamai onis. It is necessary to be very careful not to take cold, for there is great dan- ger of producing Dropsy. In summer the patient should keep his bed four. andin winter, six weeks. For drink, use elder flower tea, and sometimes a small quantity of calomel maybe giv- en, see Nos. 151, and 22. This treat- l ment is generally sufficient. But if there is swelling, use Nos. 151 and 22, together with diuretic tea, see Nos. 388. Warm bathing is also beneficial. For plethoric constitutions, make a slight Venae Sectio, taking from chil- dren three or four ounces of blood. Also see Nos. 255, 256, and 258, and tt'e flannel smoked with Succinuni. 69 PREVENTIVES OF SCARLET FEVER, Hahnemann recommended the Extractum Belladonnae, (well prepar ed,) see No. 389, which experience has proved to be very successful in epidemic. Rubeolae. Purslain or Millet Exanthem. Essera. Nettle Rash. Urticaria. Vesicular Exanthem. Pemphigus. This is a variety of Scarlet Fever, and not ot Measles. The treatment is the same as in Scarlet Fever. Let the patient keep his room six or eight days, and take mild purga- tives; see No. 10. See Essera. If this is not suffic- ient, its character is Scrophula or Syphilis, and ought to be treated as such. The Pemphigus appears like Ery- sipelas Bullosum, and ought to be treated in the same manner. See Section 111. The Chronic Pemphigus should be ^ treated according to its character. If it is syphilitic, bathe with Chlorut. Calcariae, using one ounce for a bath, or see No. 333. These are very ben- eficial. PURPLE, WHITE AND RED MILLET EXANTHEM. Miliaria Purpura, Alba et Rubra. This disease is generally symptomatic, a symptom of fever caused by using hot diaphoretics, a warm bed, or impure air. Sometimes Miliarials a symptom of Crisis, if it makes its appearance on a crisis day. It is remarkable, that anciently medical men advised to keep the patient warm, and to use hot and irritating medicines in all acute fevers, and thus Miliaria was brought on. But in the eighteenth century, they ascertained that this course was entirely wrong, and in- stead of using hot and irritating medicines introduced the Anti- phlogistic treatment in acute fevers, after which the Miliaria disappeared. The remedy for Miliaria ought to be antiphlogistic. See Nos. 5, 6, Miliaria Chronica should be- treated according to its character. Petechiae. Purple spots on the skin show the presence of this disease. The reme- dies are the same as for Miliaria. 70 This should be treated according to the cause. If it is foulness of the stomach and bowels, give an emetic, see No. 27, and cooling purgatives, see Nos. 5, 6, and 7. Also the Linc- tus, see No. 399. Employ no alum or vitriolum album, or any astringen- tia, for there is danger of metastasis, y especially to the brain. Only in Chronic Sprue, use Sul- phate of zinc, or see No. 400. To ease the pain, use Decoctum Althaeae for gargle For putridity, use No. 246. If the aphthae affect the stomach, use Nos. 289 or 345, and make an artificial sore on the stomach or arm. ITCH. Scabies. There are four stages of Scabies: 1. In this stage, the patient appears in good health, although he may have had the Scabies for several days. In this case the patient should take a soap bath every morning, and have clean linen every day, and take one drachm of Flores Sulphuris Loti, three or four times a day. Use also sulphur ointment, see Nos. 334 and 335, which ought to be applied every evening. This treatment will in general be found sufficient. 2. When the Scabies becomes older, let the patient have the same treatment, and use No. 401. 3. The patient in this stage is unhealthy, and the treatment should be according to the disease. 4. Inveterate Scabies.—Sulphur bathing, see No. 305, and clean linen are effectual. Also see Nos. 401, 402 and 403. Also rub five or ten grains of Unguentum Hydrargyr. Citrinum on the palm of the hand every evening. Complications of syphilis and scrophula ought to be treated as such. SALT RHEUM. Herpes. First, a good diet, dry pure air, and clean linen are necessary. Use no stimulants of any kind. Cleanse the bowels with mild purgatives, see Nos. 9 and 10. If the cause is hemorrhoids, use sulphur. If its character is scrophulous, treat it as scrophula, or if syphilitic, as syphi- lis. When the cause cannot be discovered,the following medicines ex- perience has taught to be the best, viz: Nos. 401, 404, 405, and 318. For children, No. 406. Thrush or Sprue. Aphthae. 71 For slight dry herpes, (Herpes Siccus,) apply Oleum Juglandum, or Aqua Cosraetica, see No. 410; also, for the face apply Emplastrum Nigrum, see No. 541, spread on colored silk, and every day put on a new plaster. Use also, Aqua Calcis, withcocoanut oil soap, or see No. 163. For humid herpes, (Herpes Humidus,) see No. 336. For burning pains, use Oleum Amygdalarum, and make cold appli- cations, which should be repeated every hour. Fresh leaves of the white beet (Beta Alba,) or Herba Plantago, are beneficial. For pleth- oric constitutions, cupping and No. 404, Extractum Taraxaci, No. 337, and soap bathing, are all very efficient. For Inveterate Herpes, (Sycosis Menti, Lupus,) see Nos. 408, 409, and 411. Use no lead preparations, for there is danger of causing me- tastasis to the lungs. Use a bath prepared with one pound of Cortex Ulmi, or use a sulphur bath, see No. 305, and also No. 333. Make a fonticula, and keep it on the arm one or two years. Crusta Serpiginosa. ) An exanthematic crust of the skin V constitutes this disease. The treat- ) ment is the same as for Herpes. LEPROSY. Lepra,. There are many forms of Leprosy. 1st. Lepra Orientalis, Oriental Leprosy, which is very dangerous and ■contagious. 2d. Lepra Occidentalis, Occidental Leprosy, which is less dangerous. 3d. Elephantiasis, in which the skin appears like that of an elephant. 4th. Vitiligo, which consists of large white spots on the skin. 5th. Pellagra, a malady of upper Italy, consisting of large and pain- ful erysipelatous spots on the back and extremities. All these kinds of Leprosy have prevailed in Europe, where Hospi- tals were erected solely for the benefit of leprous persons, the careful treatment of whom has banished the disease, but all Leprosy is chiefly confined to warm climates. The treatment should be the same as for Herpes. For Lepra Orientalis, arsenic applied externally, and in small quan- tities, has done much good. Red Spots, Small Pimples in 1 A good diet is required, chiefly the face. vegetable.

First, slight, called Favus, Achores^ Second, more obstinate, called Tinea. The cause is often either filthi- ness, or too great warmth of the head, but more frequently Scrophu- losis. Therapia.—Cleanse the head with soap and water, and cut off the hair, (but not if the weather is cold.) Apply fresh butter to the sores, and see No. 412. Administer sassafras tea and see Nos. 413, 317, and 414. Bathe and put cabbage leaves on the sores. This treatment is generally sufficient. Tinea.—The same treatment is applicable, but the hair should be extracted, as the disease is around the roots of the hair. This can be done with a small plaster made of pitch, or see No. 540, either of which must be renewed every morning. For very inveterate tinea, rub from five to ten grains of Unguentum Hydrargyri Citrinum, or No. 403, on the sores every day until they are cleansed. Purple Spots on the Face and Nose. Gutta Rosacea.

Ephelis. \ Use almond soap, eocoa butter, f, deer's fat, and see No. 410. Wash every morning and evening with No. 410. Use Aqua Cosmetica, see No. 410, and drink decoction of tamarinds. 73 £>eadness of tke Skin. Comedones. \ Tiiis is generally a disease of chil- I dren, and is caused by neglect and \ uncleanliness The remedies are soap f bathing, aromatic bathing, pure air, | and a small quantity of wine, and see. j No. 412.

This disease is frequently found among infants in France, calkd En- durcissement du Tissu Cellulaire, and is very dangerous. Therapia.—Diaphoretics are nec- essary. See Nos. 515, 517, and 518. Also use salt, potassa, sulphur and aromatic baths For ointment, sec No. 338. See diseases of children, Section XV. ~) Apply a little Acidum Muriaticum, | Tinct. Canthar, or Lap.

Swelling and Pain of the Hair. Plica, Trichoma. This sickness is found in Poland, especially among a tribe called Sar matican. The treatment should be according to the slate of the disease. 1st. Use antimonium and gaujae. \ See Nos. 401, 402, 405, and 406. 2d. Continue this treatment, and wait for the crisis. 3d. Do not cut the hair before new hair comes out, because there is dan- ger of causing metastasis. MOTHER MARK. Naevus. The cause is pressure, which checks the circulation on that part of the skin, and is not caused bv imagination. To attempt a cure is both very difficult and dangerous. Nothing more should be done than to use borax, alum, weak solution of subli- matum; also lime water, and tattooing, (an operation of puncturing the skin with needles, and rubbing any coloring substance into it wluch is required.) 74 LOSS OF HAIR-MORBID BALDNESS. Alopecia. Baldness is caused by old age, acute fevers, Erysipelas, or Excessus in Venere. Sometimes sorrow or anxiety causes the hair to turn gray in twen- ty-four hours. Chronic exanthem, especially Syphilis, and calomel poisoning, produce the same result. The treatment should vary according to the cause of the disease.— If it is syphilis, treat it as such. If the cause is calomel poisoning, use sulphur bathing. It is good to comb the hair, and wash the head with soap, and decoction of burdock root, and apply pomatum of ox mar- row and Oleum Citri, burned kitchen salt mixed with starch and re- duced to a powder, or see Nos. 417 and 330.

DISEASED STATE OF THE FLUIDS. Dyscrasiae—Cachexiae. PALE OR GREEN SICKNESS. Chlorosis. This disease is caused by a superabundance of water in the blood, consequently the blood is poor, and the patient feels cold, whereas, if the blood were thicker, it would produce warmth, redness and vitality. The disease is most prevalent with young females. Iron prepara- tions should be the first remedy, see Nos. 418, 419, 420, and 480.— Also steel bathing, see No. 332, take exercise, and avoid close and warm rooms. If the cause is suppression of the menses, then see female diseases, Section XIV. 75 BLUE SICKNESS. Cyanosis. This is a disease of infants though the patient sometimes survives to the age of 25 years. It is caused by not closing the Voramen Ovale, so that a part of the blood does not go to the lungs, but passes through the Ductus Arteriosus in the Arteria Aorta, and thus circu- lates without being purified of the carbonic gas. Other causes are disorganization of the heart, Arteria Aorta, or Aneurismata of the heart. In this case it is necessary to administer acida, especially Aci- dum Muriaticum and Sulphuricum internally, and exterr ally iu baths, using one or two ounces of Acidum Muriaticum for a bath. Pure air and rest are requisite. SCURVY. Scorbutus. There are two kinds of Scorbutus, land and sea. The cause is a diminution of cruor and vitality in the blood. Therapia.—Purify and strengthen the blood. For Sea Scorbutus, land air, fresh water, vegetable diet and cleanliness are requisite. The ship should be cleansed and purified (see Ship Fever,) and cheerful- ness among the seamen should be promoted. Use sour cabbage (Sauerkraut) and lemon internally and on the sores externally. For Land Scorbutus, give from two to four ounces of beer yeast ev- ery day, and apply it externally on the sores. See Nos. 12, 13, 51, 246, and 281. For ulcers, use carrot poultice and Herba Sabina baths, using from two to four ounces for a bath. JAUNDICE. Icterus. Inflammatory Jaundice. ) The symptoms are fever and pains. Icterus Inflammatoria. [■ The treatment is the same as for He- ) patitis. See Section III. Rheumatic Jaundice. ) See Nos. 29, 30, and 31, and use Icterus Rheumatica. \ an Empl. Cantharid. Jaundice from Sordes in the " Stomach. Icterus Gastricus. See Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 371. Sometimes an emetic should be giv- en. The drink should be lemonade. ► Sometimes the cause is worms or stones, in which case the treatment should be in accordance with the cause. 76 Jaundice from Weakness. ) See Nos. 421, 422, and 423.— Icterus Atonica.

This disease, known as the King's Evil, may with propriety be cal- led the king of evils, because, in many cases, it is the root of Consump- tion. It has two forms. 1st. Hereditary, 2d. Developed Scrophula. Scrophula is originally an affection of the Organae Lymphaticae, (lymphatic organs,) and of the Lympha. Also a disorderly and irreg- ular action of the Glandulae, (glands.) It is caused by excessus in venere, syphilis, bad diet, and by eating too fast, (thus making the as- similation of the food difficult and imperfect,) too much or too little ani- mal food, stimulants, not sufficient exercise, worms, bad habits of spit- ting, bad treatment of small pox, measles, scarlet fever, acute fevers, and by bad medicines, especially all opium preparations. Scrophula is brought upon infants by an unhealthy nurse, too light dress in winter, and too warm rooms, uncleanliness, dark and damp sleeping rooms, poorly prepared bread, and opium preparations. The cure is very difficult, requiring months and sometimes years.— The best remedies are good food, more vegetable than animal, carrots, spinage and purslain, cold water for drink, beer and water, or milk of egg-s, see No. 339, a life on land, dry air, dry sleeping rooms, clean mattrass bed, linen smoked with succinum, cold water washes, a warm soap bath twice a week, salt or malt baths, and drink Acorn coffee. Pharmaceutic Treatment.—Mercurial preparations skillfully applied, are a specificum. For children, use the Aethiops Mineralis and Anti- monialis. See Nos. 406 and 412. For elder children, No. 424, and every 14 days give a purgative, see No. 413. For inveterate cases, No. 318. Murias Barytae is the next specificum. See Nos. 425, 426, and 414. Use also Decoctum Taraxaci, Graminis, Herba Fumariae, and Tussilago, especially the freshly expressed juice of the Herba Tussi- lago, from one to two ounces every morning. Sea bathing is good.— Martialia and steel bathing, in case of great weakness, are beneficial. For external swelling of the glands, use iodine. See Nos. 427,428, 408, and 430. 77 These medicines ought not to be continued longer than 4 weeks, then give the decoctum, see No. 429. External applications are very successful in swelling of the glands. See Nos. 431,432, and 433. If the skin becomes red, discontinue the external applications. Murias Auri has been recommended. Rub one-tenth of a grain un- der the tongue every day. An artificial sore on the arm and bathing are beneficial, see Nos. 305 and 333, especially cicutae bathing, using from two to four ounces of Herba Cicutae for a bath. Scrophulous Ulcer. Ulcera Scrophulosa. The treatment is the same as for Scrophula. It requires no ointment, but an ap- plication of Chlor. Calcis, or chlorine ( water, diluted with a sufficient quan- tity of water, and covered with an [ Empl. Adhaesivum, or see No. 434. J and an artificial sore on the arm. Scrophulous Bore Sickness. Paedarthrocace. \ The treatment is the same as for Scrophula. Bathe with Assafoetida or Herba Subinae. Give also Assafoe- tida and 01. Jec. Aselli internallv. Scrophulous Inflammation of "| In this case leeches are very se the Eyes Ophthalmia Scrophulosa Scrophulous Exanthem. Exanthema Scrophulosa. | dom required. The internal treat- y ment is the same as for Scrophula.— | To make a poultice, see No. 78, and J see Nos. 435 and 436. Treat it as Scrophula. Bathe and use the tea of Herba Jaceae seu Vio- la Tricolor Linnei. Swelling of the Thymus "| Glands. (Called in German Kropf.) Struma. This disease of the Thymus Glands is very often found in nations living on the mountains. A change of lo- cality effects a cure. If the cause is Scrophula, treat it as such, using es- pecially the Spongiae Ustae, see Noe- 428 and 437. But do not use it if there is irritation of the tongue or cough; then No. 438 is better. For the external treatment, see No. 433. RICKETS. Rachitis. The foundation of this disease is Scrophula—a scrophulous affection of the bones. A good diet is necessary, and malt or salt baths are 78 eflkaci jus. Also bathe with Rad. Calamus Aromaticus, (sweet flag.) Let the patient play in warm saud and wash with whiskey. Use Ol. Jecoris Aselli, and see No. 439. The Claudicatio Spontanea (spontaneous halting,) is of a scrophu* lous or rachitis origin, and ought to be treated as such. Bathing is good. Sometimes use leeches, or a Fonticula on the hip. GOUT, Arthritis. L INFLAMMATORY GOUT, Arthritis Inflammatoria, Podagra, Gout is caused by defective assimilation and imperfect action of the Chylus organs. It is different from rheumatism, which is a defective uction of the skin, or induced by some external cause. Gout has an internal origin, produced by rich living and insufficient exercise, Bac^ oh us, Venus et Otiura, suppression of the hemorrhoids, Cessatio Meiv struosum, and hereditary disposition. Therapia.—The cure ought to be antiphlogistic and diaphoretic.— Use flannel dress, and oiled silk or wool on the part affected. All othj er applications are dangerous. Employ no cold water* lead prepara- tions or camphor, for there is danger of transferring the gout to the lungs, stomach or brain. Apply no poultice, as it causes swelling and weakness. If there is great fever and a plethoric constitution, make a Venae Sectio and apply leeches. The internal remedies are Nos. 9. 81, and 146. L'. Gout with Bilious Compli- 1 cations. I Arthritis Gastricus* ) See Nos. 6, 6, 7, and 10. 3. Spasmodic Gout Arthritis Spasticus. 4. Chronic Gout Arthritis Chronica, This is hot attended with inflam- mation, but is of a spasmodic charac- ter. See Nos. 74 and 441. At eve- ning, give five grains of Pulvis Do- veri. In Chronic Gout there is no fever, but continued pain. Guajaci is a spe- cificum, see Nos. 32, 442, 443, 444, and 445. Use externally Nos. 199, 200, and 201, Empl. Canthar., and a Fonticula. Also, sulphur, salt and malt bathing, vapor bathing, douches and moxa, and 01. Jec. Aselli. See Nos. 408 and 409. 79 Sciatica. ^ hchias. { This is caused by Arthritis, and Disease of the Hip Joint. ( should have the sarae treatment. otagra. Knotty Gout. ) ^Employ the same treatment as in Arthritis Nodosa. [ Chronic Gout, especially mineral baths. If the Gout is transferred to an internal organ, it ought to be ob- served, that in a plethoric constitution the first thing is to make a Ve- nae Sectio, and then apply an Empl. Cantharid. If the gout is trans- ferred to the head, apply leeches on the neck, and see No, 449. If the gout is in the stomach, and is acute, make a Venae Sectio, and then use an Empl. Cantharid. on the stomach. After relieving the fever, or if the disease is chronic, see Nos. 442 and 443, apply an Empl. Can- tharid., and keep a Fonticula discharging. VENEREAL DISEASES. Syphilis. This disease was known in Europe in the year 1493. It is a pecu- liar affection of the Organae Lyraphaticae (lymphatic organs) and Olandulae, (Glands.) It has two forms, Primary or Local Syphilis. and Secondary or Universal Syphilis. 1. LOCAL, OR PRIMARY SYPHILIS. Syphilis Localis sive Primaria. Blennorrhoea Syphilitica (Syphilitic Clap, or in femalrs Syphilitic Fluor Albus) has two stages. 1st. Imflammatory Stage, commencing with excessive pain, some limes together with Phimosis, Paraphimosis, Bubones, andTestifis, and i-ontinues from two to three weeks, when commences the 2d, or Chronic Stage, Blennorhoea sive Gonorrhoea Chronica, which may remain months or years. THERAPiA.--The cure of the first stage ought to be antiphlogistic. Quiet rest is requisite, but no meat or stimulants, or anything which causes irritation is allowable. The drink should be barley or rice water,. or decoction of linseed, see Nos. 84, 85, and 310. Wash with warm wa ter, and wear a suspensory. If there are great pains and a plethoric con stitution, make a Venae Sectio. Give no injections in this stage, be •:ause they produce contraction of the urethra. To prepare a wash, see No. 311. For painful erections (if there i* no congestion of blood,) use opium internally and externally, see Nos. 129 an°d No. 73. If the inflammation and the pain are removed, and the Gonorrhoea still remains, then the second stage commences. 83 Stadium Secundum sive Chronicum, (Chronic Gonorrhoea, Gleet.) St is necessary at this stage to apply the Balsamica. Give Balsam Ce- jpaiva, from 26 to 30 drops, with sugar, three times a day* or see Nop No. 504. The internal remedy is \ No. 501. INFLAMMATION OF THE EYE LIDS. Ophthalmia, Blepharophthalmia. Any time within eight days after birth, the eyes of the infant may become inflamed. The causes are too bright light, inability to discharge the Meconium, (black foeces in the intestines,) uncleanliness, impure air, and hereditary diseases, as Syphilis or Scrophula. Therapia.—Allow but little light, keep the child clean, and fre- qently wash the eyes night and day with milk and water, lukewarm, or with elder-flower tea. If the eyes are neglected, the infant may become blind in a few days. To prepare an eye wash, see Nos. 505 and 506. In obstinate cases, see No. 507. For the internal treat- ment, see Nos. 503 and 509. Warm baths are beneficial. ERYSIPELAS OF INFANTS, INDURATION OF THE SKIN. Erysipelas Neonatorum, Induralio Telae Cellulosae. This disease usually makes its appearance at the age of six or eight weeks, caused by colds, foulness of the stomach and bowels, impure air, dirty linen, and from hereditary diseases of the mother, as Syphilis, etc. Therapia.—Cleanse the bowels with Nos. 500, 501, and 502. Give injections, use warm baths, and administer a small quantity of Calomel,. see Nos. 508 and 509. 92 For the external treatment, see No. 510. If there are symptoms of gangraena, use Valeriana, Flor. Zinci, Moschus, see No. 511, and pre- pare a poultice of Flores Arnica and Cort. Peruvianus. LOCKJAW. Trismus et Tetanus. This disease appears within the first fourteen days after birth. It is caused by unhealthy milk, impurities in the bowels, impure air and by binding the navel-string too closely. Give an emetic, see No. 503, an injection, and use warm baths. Internal remedies are Nos. 512 and 513. Rub the jaw and abdomen with No. 514. Should this treatment not avail, give an injection of six drops Tinctura Opii, also rub the breast and back with Unguent. Canth. ASTHMA FROM ENLARGEMENT OF THE THYMUS GLANDS Asthma Thymicum. This Asthma appears in children from a few clays after birth, to two years, caused by enlargement of the Thymus Glands, and irritation of the Nervus Pectoralis. Nature cures this sickness. If there is a spasmodic cough, the Physician has only to attend to this. See Nos. 501 and 511. Warm baths are effectual. Syphilis in Infants. ) For the cure it is necessary to use Syphilis. ! Mercuralia, see Nos. 515, 508, and j 509. For sores in the mouth, see J No. 516, and" use warm baths. DIARRHOEA OF INFANTS. Diarrhoea Infantum. There are different causes which produce Diarrhoea. 1st. Acid in the Stomach. See Nos. 517 and 518. If the child nurse, the nurse should use the powder, see No. 519. If this is not sufficient, then it is necessary to change the nurse. 2d. Irritation from Dentition. In this case, use the Antispasmodics, see No. 501. Give an injection of starch, and use foot baths. If there is congestion of blood, apply two leeches on the head, and if there are spasms, see No. 520. The external remedy is No. 521. 3d. Diarrhoea Catarrhalis, (diarrhoea from taking cold.) Flannel clothing must be worn. The drink should be elder flower tea, and give an injection of starch. 4th. Chronic Diarrhoea. See Nos. 521 and 522. Use warm baths of German chamomile. Older children should drink acorn coffee, and wear flannel clothes. 93 VOMITING. Vomitus. , The general rule is vomitus vomitu curatur, (vomiting cures vomit- ing.) Almost every easy vomiting is a salutary effort of nature to cleanse the stomach of its impurities. The best remedy is to drink freely of German chamomile tea, and for older children a teaspoonful of the emetic Linctus, see No. 503. After this give No. 517. If there are symptoms of inflammation, apply leeches on the stomach, and see No. 523. CONVULSIONS, CRAMPS, SPASMS. Eclampsia. The general cause of this disease is sordes in the stomach and bow- els, also wind and worms. Sec Nos. 517 and 501. If there is a dis- position to vomit, give No. 203. If there is congestion of blood to the head, apply one or two leeches on the temples, prescribe injections and foot baths. If there is no congestian of blood or sordes in the stomach,, and the evacuations are regular, then give No. 524. Use externally No. 514, and warm baths. Give an injection of six drops Tinctura Opii, and an infusion of Ger man chamomile. FEVERS. Febres. The usual causes of fever are costiveness and sordes in the stomach and bowels. The use of the powder for children is generally sufficient, see No. 501. This powder should be kept in every family. If this does not avail, the cause of the fever must be ascertained. 1st. Stomach Fever, which arises from impurities in the stomach and bowels, and from costiveness. First administer an injection, then an emetic, see No. 503, and then see No. 525. No meat or eggs should be eaten. 2d. Catarrhal Fever, which arises from taking cold. For this an emetic should be given, which is a good preventive of Croup, see No. 503. After vomiting, the patient should drink freely of barley water, sweetened water, or weak elder-flower tea. 3d. Dental Fever. See Dentition. 4th. Worm Fever (in older children.) See worm diseases, Section XIII. The palliative cure is to let the patient drink milk and to give an injection of milk. Also give castor oil internally, and an injection of the same. 5th. Inflammatory Fever. For inflammatory affections of the brain, lungs and liver, give No. 526, but without nitrum. See also No. 508. Give also an injection. If there is Sopor, (continued sleep,) use cold water on the head. See Hydrocephalus Acutus. For inflammation of the bowels use leeches, a warm poultice, warm baths, and see No. 523, 94 6th. Exanthem Fever. See Variola, Morbilli and Scarlatina, Sec- tion XI. It is rather difficult at first to ascertain the presence of this disease, but it is at all times proper to cleanse the bowels. DIFFICULT DENTITION. Dentitio Difficilis. The general rule in this case is to cleanse the stomach and bowels, see Nos. 501, 502, 517, and 525, and to give an injection, see No. 518. For congestion of blood, apply one or two leeches on the head. For nervous irritation or spasms, see No. 524. Use warm baths and let the patient chew marshmallow root. In difficult cases of dentition, the gums should be lanced, but this should be the last resort. PIMPLES, TETTER, RINGWORM, SORES ON THE HEAD. Exanthema. To cure this disease the patient should have pure air, cban linen, and a good vegetable diet. Wash with warm soap water and bathe with bran and water. Also see Nos. 527 and 515. In obstinate cases, Pulvis Plumieri should be used, see No. 424, giv- ing, one-fourth or one-half of a powder every morning and evening.— Sassafras tea is also good, see No. 528. If the cause is Scrophula, then see Scrophula, Section XII. External applications are not good, for there is danger of transfer- ring the disease to an internal organ. CROUP. Angina, Polyposa, Membranacea, Laryngitis Exsudatoria. Croup is sometimes mistaken for Asthma, (called Asthma Millari,) and Asthma for Croup. The difference between them is that Croup is an inflammation of the Membranae Mucosa of the throat, with fever, and previously united with catarrhal fever and red urination. Asthma Mil- lari is a spasm, and returns periodically, without fever, and the urine is white and transparent. In Croup it is necessary first to give an emetic, see No. 503, also to inhale the vapor of warm water, or the vapor from an infusion of el- der flowers. Apply leeches on the throat, using one, two or three leeches for infants, and four for children over two years of ace. Also administer calomel, see No. 529. Between these powders give Linctus, see No. 530. Also give an injection of a tablespoonful of vinegar and an infusion of German chamomile. If the patient is not better in twenty-four hours, then use for the spasm the Sulphas Cupri, from one to four grains, according to age; dissolved in half a tablespoonful of water, until it produces vomiting. 95 After vomiting, give No. 531. If the symptoms of suffocation recur,. administer the same emetic; also rub the throat with Unguentum Hy- drargyri, and apply a mustard poultice or Emplast. Cantharid. on the throat. If there is congestion of blood to the head, put one or two leeches on the temples. If all this is fruitless, make applications of cold water on the throat and head. An emetic, when the croup first commences. is very successful, see No. 503. ACUTE ASTHMA IN INFANTS—MILLER'S ASTHMA. Asthma Acutum Infantile, sive Asthma Millari. This Asthma is sometimes mistaken for Croup. Asthma is spas - modic and returns periodically without fever. The urine is white. Therapia.—It is necessary to give first an emetic, see No. 503, af- er this, Aiitispasmodica, s«e Nos. 532, 511, and 512; also injections, see Nos. 132 and 133. Rub with No. 514. Apply a mustard poul- tice or Empl. Canthar. on the breast Acute Dropsy of the Brain, Hydrocephalus Acutus. Apply leeches on the head, and see No. 529. Give an injection of vine- gar, using about one tablespoonful for an injection, mixed with a suffic- ient infusion of German chamomile* . and continue the same until three or four evacuations are produced. If this is not sufficient, give No. 533; also place on the head a bladder filled with cold water or ice. Use foot- baths, a mustard poultice on the feet and an Empl. Canthar. on the neck. Chronic Dropsy of the Brain. ") Employ the same treatment as in Hydrocephalus Chronicus. External Dropsy of the Brain. Hydrocephalus Externus. Acute Dropsy of the Brain, only not so powerful, but continue it longer. ► Inunctiones Mercurialus (anointing) or a Fonticula on the neck, is very ef- ficacious ; also an application of Ace- tum Scillae on the head. 1 Water between the Pia Mater and Dura Mater constitutes this disease. For treatment see Chronic Dropsy of the Brain. Also purgatives and diuretics are effectual. 96 Dropsy of the Spine. Spina Bifida Hydrorachitis. Puncture the neck with needles and apply pressure upon the spot—■ > The pressure should be carefully re- j peated. This disease, however, is J generally fatal. MESENTERY xVTROPHY IN INFANTS. Atrophia Mcscnlerica Infantum. The infant becomes emaciated, and has a thick and hard abdomen, caused by bad diet, impure air, uneleanliness, unhealthy nurse, worms, hot medicines or opium. For the cure, cleanliness is necessary in all circumstances, and the child should have good diet but no stimulants, and have malt-baths. Children from two to three years of age should drink a.orn coffee, and have a frequent change of linen, which should be smoked with snecinum; also see Nos. 527, 501, 515, 508, and 534. If there is great pain in the bowels, apply leeches, and rub the abdomen with, see No. 535. Halting. Claudicatio Spontanea, sive Coxalgia Infantum. Leeches are applied with the best effect on the hip> Every day the pa- tient should take a warm soap bath, and rub Unguent. Hydrargyr. on the hip every morning and evening. To treat internally see No. 424. Also apply an Empl. Canth., and make a Fonticula on the hip. ARTIFICIAL SORES. Fonticula sive Ulcera Artificialis. The practice of forming artificial sores is very ancient. Formerly a pea or bean was used for this purpose, but Epispastic Paper coming into use and causing much less pain, the use of the pea and bean has been discontinued. Epispastic paper may be used from 10 to 20 years without affecting the urinary organs, etc. See prescription No. 536. A Fonti- cula formed by an Emplastrum Cantharidum, should be made as large as a three cent piece for children, and for adults as large as a dime. If the fonticula is to be kept open for a short time only, it may be as large as a dollar. Keep the Empl. Canth. on the place about two days, and when taken off, apply a piece of Epispastic paper as large as the Empl. Canth., and cover it with a little Empl. Adhaesivum, to keep the piece of paper on the place. The sore ought to be dressed in a similar man- ner every morning. The Unguentum Epispasticum, see No. 537, is used in the same manner.
