E. BO0ERICKE, No. 6"5 ARCH STREET. VEWV YORK-: BOERWT(KE & TAFEL. 145 GRAND ST. 187 9. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, by I. D. JOHNSON, in the Office ot toe Librarian of Congress, at Washington.. FAGAN & SON, ELECTROTYPERS, PHILA A. PRE FACl. T IIE preface to this little volume may be written in a few words. It first made its appearance in 1871, and now, in the autumn of 1876, has reached its Third Edition. During this brief period over five thousand copies have been distributed among the members of the Profession. A new edition is again called for, in order to correct and improve the work before again committing it to the press; and to this end we have labored to replace all doubtful by new and more certain materials, and to so blend and incorporate the additions as not to materially increase its size. This has been accomplished, in a great part, by increasing the length of the pages. The entire work has been revised and improved with great care, so as to bring it up to the present advanced state of our therapeutics. Every precaution has been taken to exclude uncertain symptomatic indications, and add those only which have withstood the practical test of experience. A new feature of the present edition, is the comparison instituted between remedies having similar and dissimilar symptoms, which the student or busy practitioner will fully appreciate. Again, many useful suggestions will be found throughout the work in regard to adjuvants, diet, etc., all of which are strictly in harmony with the principles of our school. In a word, we commend this little volume to the Profession, without any claim of novelty of merit, except briefness, convenience, and accuracy. If in these attributes it should be deemed worthy of approval, it cannot fail to aid the practitioner in the hour of need and amply reward the author. I. D. J. 111 CONTENTS.

If a person has become insensible from inhaling Carbonic Acid, Carbonic Oxide, Fumes of Burning Charcoal, Chlorine, or Sulphuretted Hydrogen Gas, expose him at once to the fresh air. Bathe the face and breast with vinegar, and let him inhale the vapor. Give strong coffee to drink, apply cold water to the head and warmth to the feet. If necessary, have recourse to Dr. Hall's method of resuscitation, explained under "Apparent Death from Drowning." If there is congestion to the head, loss of consciousness, throbbing of the carotids, and red, bloated face, give Bell. If the face is purplish and swollen, with soporous sleep, stertorous breathing, and vomiting, give Opi. If the patient is excited, talks much and rapidly, complains of shooting pains, or if it seems to him as if he were flying, feels giddy when lying down, give Coffea. From CHLOROFORM, ETHER, NITROUS OXIDE GAS, and other AN.ESTHETICS, place the body in a horizontal position with head well elevated; open the windows, loosen the clothing: dash cold water on the face; shake the chest vigorously, and hold Ammonia to the nostrils. These failing, apply the Galvanic Battery, or endeavor to induce artificial respiration, as explained under " Apparent Death from Drowning." After breathing is established, and if the patient complains of cliilliness, and a sense of intoxication, nausea, vomiting, aiid quick pulse, give Nux v.; if the pulse is slow, give * Opium. From COLD. Always place the body in a cold room, and cover it with snow, or bathe it in ice-cold water until the limbs become soft and flexible, then place it in a dry bed and rub briskly with flannel, at the same time try to induce artificial respiration by Dr. Hall's. 2* B 18 ARTHRITIS. method, explained under the head of " Asphyxia from Drowning." As soon as there are signs of returning life, give small injections of coffee without milk, and if the patient can swallow, give him spoonful doses of coffee to drink. For the severe burning pains which usually follow resuscitation from intense cold, Acon. Ars. Carb. v. or Bry., will be found sufficient. From DROWNING: " Place the body in a horizontal position,face down, with one wrist under the forehead. Now, with one hand upon the back and the other upon the abdomen, press gently for about two seconds, then turn the body well upon its side, and after a couple of seconds place it again upon the face and repeat the pressing as before; in this way strive to induce artificial respiration by the alternate pressure upon the abdomen and rotation of the body." Meantime have the limbs rubbed briskly upward, and the wet articles of clothing replaced by dry warm ones from the bystanders. In addition to the mechanical means resorted to, a dose of Lach. may be placed upon the tongue, or administered as an injection. Tart. e. is also a valuable remedy in these cases. From HANGING, CHOKING, ETC. Endeavor to induce artificial respiration by the same method as re commended for drowning, and give Opi. or Tart. e. by injection. Asphyxia from LIGHTNING. Place the patient immediately in a freshly mnade opening in the ground, in a half-sitting posture, with his face toward the sun, and cover him all over with fresh earth. Give Nux v. as soon as there are any signs of returning life. For the blindness that sometimes follows, give Phos. ARTHRITIS. Therapeutics. Special indications. ACON. Synochal fever. The parts affected are swollen, red, and shining. Tearing or stitching pains, less when moving the parts, [* Rhus.] * The pains are intolerable at night, the patient becoming desperate.

Sulph. ac. DENTITION. The process of dentition gives rise to a variety of sympathetic affections, often attended with much suffering and fatal consequences. For this reason, the subject is one of grave consideration. Children cut their teeth very irregular, but usually, at the age of seven months the two central incisors below, make their appearance. A month later, the central incisors above come through. At nine months, the two lateral incisors below, soon followed by those above, appear. At twelve months the two anterior molars below and two above show themselves. At from fourteen to twenty months, the canines come through. And at two. or two and a half years, the posterior molars below and above appear, and complete the first dentition, 20 teeth. The permanent set put in an appearance about the age of six and are completed by the 13th year, except the wisdom teeth, wliich are cut between the 17th and 21st years. Therapeutics.

The patient may drink small quantities, gargle his dry and burning mouth, bind wet cloths to his hot and painful head, and apply wetted linens to the tender, bloated abdomen. Frequent sponging of the entire body is an efficient method of reducing the temperature, and will be very grateful to the patient. In obstinate constipation, warm-water injections will greatly facilitate the action of the bowels; and where diarrhea occurs, lavements of starch-water [about two ounces], administered after every stool, will have a salutary effect. In intestinal hemorrhage, some have advised Per Sulphate of Iron [ten or twelve drops in a little starchwater] as an injection, but this is of doubtful admission. Our main reliance in these critical cases is on Ars. Carb. v. Ham. Merc. * Nit. ac. * Phos. * Phos. ac. Rhus. tox. If these fail, clysters will be of little use. Diet. Fresh, sweet milk in moderate quantities may be taken in any stage of the disease. Good fresh buttermilk is also an excellent article of diet, and pleasing to the palate. Reef tea or mutton broth in the later stages, where there is great exhaustion, is the best nutriment. No solid food should be taken so long as there is any tenderness of the abdomen. Alcoholic stimulants should be totally discarded, as they only exhaust the vital forces, which they have no power to restore. WORM AFFECTIONS. 187 WORM AFFECTIONS. Therapeutics. Special indications.
