PR EFACE.
Why another work on Domestic Medicine? many
may ask. Their name is Legion already. Why
another? In the first place, it may be replied,
that this is a free country, and that those who can
pay for printers' ink, have the right to shed it; and
as no one is compelled to read every thing which is
printed, no right is invaded by the appearance of a
new book. In the second place, that though there
are many works of the kind, there is none which
suits everybody, else there would be but one. It
has been thought that the peculiar arrangement of
this work would perhaps suit a certain class of
minds, not entirely content with any of the others.
The favor with which the first edition was received,
has induced the Editor to prepare, and the Publisher
to issue a second, enlarged and revised. The Materia Medica has been compiled from the best authorities, and it is thought will be found accurate, and as
full as consists with- the limits of the work. The
Editor has been guided by his own experience in the
selection of the symptoms, to a great extent, and has
added some indications which are deduced solely
from that experience.








THE OBJECT OF THIS WORK AND HOW
TO USE IT.
He who purchases this book, buys the right to
cure all diseases treated of therein, but not necessarily the might.  Let him  not therefore-complain
that he receives an inadequate quid for his quo, if he
fail to cure sometimes, nor relieve his mind by calling the writer a fool, and the publisher a knave. To
cure diseases, requires a knowledge of the system in
health; of the way in which diseases manifest themselves; of the nature of remedies; of the best manner of using them: and this is a knowledge difficult to
obtain and not easily conveyed to the mind of another, especially where that mind lacks the preliminary knowledge, and still more especially when it has
to be condensed within the narrow limits of such a
book as this.  But suppose all this knowledge obtained, another element of success is needful-skill.
This is not transferable-each one must obtain it
from the faculties which nature, and the knowlege
which education has given him.  If he lack, then,
either skill or knowledge, let him not blame this
book, which pretends to furnish him with but a small
amount of the latter, and none at all -of the former.
It does not profess to make a Doctor of him, but
only to enable him to prescribe for a few of the




Vi         THE OBJECT OF THIS WORK,
simpler forms of disease, where a physician cannot
readily be obtained.
The book is divided into three portions. The
first, gives the leading characteristic features of some
of the most prominent diseases, with a few general
hints for their treatment; the second, symptoms alphabetically arranged with their appropriate remedies; and the third, the Materia Medica.
The way to use the book is as follows: A patient
is presented-perhaps you know what the disease is
-suppose it to be hooping cough; the first part
will give some general hints about the treatment;
the second, will give you the remedies to be used.
As there are more than one, the question is, which
shall be given. To decide this, consider the character
of the cough-the time of day when most aggravated, the nature of the expectoration, and any and
all the other symptoms produced during the cough,
or noticed during the paroxysm-find out from the
Repertory, the medicines which produce these symptoms-this will narrow the choice down to three or
four. Now compare these three or four in the Materia Medica and select the one which best covers
the symptoms.
Perhaps you do not know what the disease isnote down all the symptoms as above suggsted; you
may then find the name of the disease in the first
part, but that is not essential. It is not the name of
the disease which the patient wishes to get rid of,
but the symptoms, for it is the symptoms which constitute all you can know of the disease.  Compare
these in the Repertory as above directed, and if needful ih the Materia Medica, and you will have all the
light such a work can throw on the subject.
Where all the symptoms are found indicating any
one remedy, the case is clear; where two or more




AND HOW TO USE IT.


vii


remedies are recommended, and past experience
throws no light upon the subject, the Third Part
must be consulted.  After all this examination and
comparison, if the matter is still in doubt, there
is no way left but to seek other advice, or where this
cannot be had, to try first one and then another remedy. Where the choice can be narrowed down to
two, they may be given alternately. But some one
may say this is laborious and cannot be done on the
spur of the moment.    True, and for this reason
those who wish to use the book with advantage must
make a study of the Materia Medica, and so familiarize themselves with the range of each remedy,
that any particular group of symptoms will readily
suggest the proper remedy. By doing this, they will
find themselves eventually able to cope with many
diseases or groups of symptoms not at all noticed in
this book or any other, for there is many a patient
whose ailments cannot be classified or even named.
Those unwilling to engage in this necessary study
should not undertake even domestic treatment.
A remedy having been selected, the question will
arise: How is it to be administered, and how often?
The remedies may be given either dry or in solution.
One or two pellets suffice for a child, andthreeor
four for an adult; for infants at the breast, some prefer to give the remedy to the mother. In chronic
affections of children, this course will be necessary.
If the remedies are given in water, eight to twelve
pellets may be dissolved in half a glass of water, and
a few drops given to an infant, and to an adult a teaspoonful or table-spoonful. Where the medicines
are in the fluid form, a drop may be taken for four
pellets; if in powder, as much as will lie on a three
cent piece (old style) will be an equivalent. In
determining the size of the dose, regard must be had




Viii       THE OBJECT OF THIS WORK,
to the susceptibility of the patient, but in a work of
this character, no more can be done than to call attention to the fact, that some constitutions and patients, in some diseases, are more readily affected,
and hence need less medicine, than in others.
As to the frequency of repetition, this must depend upon the acuteness of the disease. Where the
progress of the disease is very rapid, the action of the
remedy is soon exhausted, hence the remedy must
be given oftener. It is always desirable to lengthen
the interval as improvement advances.
Medicines should be alternated, as already noticed,
when it cannot be determined which of two remedies is the better. Sometimes neither one of two
such remedies answers the purpose, but when given
alternately, they are just the thing. Sometimes one
medicine corresponds to one part of the symptoms,
and another to another-these may be alternated.
A word may be said as regards the diet, and but a
word. Avoid everything indigestible or difficult of
digestion. Each one can soon determine for himself
what agrees with him, or what does not. People
learn what they should dispense with, easier than
they find the self-denial wherewith to practice their
knowledge. Avoid every thing of a medicinal nature while taking Homceopathic medicines.    For
further directions, reference must be had to popular
works on Physiology.
In conclusion, it will be noticed that all Chronic
Diseases are but slightly treated. The cause is obvious. The work is intended for those who are attacked with sudden and violent diseases and cannot
obtain a physician. Patients suffering from Chronic
Diseases can either get to a Doctor or can write to
one; in either case, unless he is a very poor one,
they will get better advice than the best book can




AND HOW TO USE IT.              iX
give. No very sensible person will ever attempt to
treat himself or his family, who can obtain the advice of a well-qualified physician. If those fail too
often, who make the study of diseases and their remedies the sole business of their lives, what success
can they expect, who know little or nothing of either?

ter, a teaspoonful at a time, every few minutes. This, also, may be used as
a gargle in sore throat. In Quinsy, Camphor may be given by inhalation,
thus: where the patient is in a small room, with a stove in it, pour Spirits of
Camphor on the stove, and continue till relief is found. A more direct, but
less agreeable method, is to put Gum Camphor into a cup or bowl, with redhot nails or coals, throw a shawl over the patient's head, put the bowl under
the shawl and let the patient draw in the fumes through a widely-opened
mouth. The Gum may also be given in such cases, a piece of the size of a
pea may be held in the mouth till it is gone. In sudden colds of children, it
often acts well to put a bit of Camphor into their mouths when going to bed.
t This remedy is used by many physicians in cases where Aconite is.ccommended in this work.

PART I.
BEING A BRIEF NO rCE OF THE CAUSES AND CHARACTERISTICS     OF  SOME     OF  THE    MOST     COMMON
DISEASES, WITH GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR DIET,
REGIMEN AND MEDICAL TREATMENT.
ABSCESS.*
Bell. may be given first, either alone or alternately
with Merc.; if these do not afford prompt relief,
and the abscess is large, give Phos. and Hep.-sulph.
alternately.
Besides the remedies recommended in the Repertory, see Lycopersicum, under the head of external
remedies. Should this fail to relieve, flannels wrung
out of water-hot or cold, as is most grateful-are
beneficial. Much suffering is avoided by opening
an abscess early, if any one with the requisite nerve
-and it does not require much-is at hand.               If the
abscess be very large, it is desirable not to let all the
matter out at once, and if the discharge continues
several days, the strength must be kept up by a
liberal diet.
* This may be as good a place as any, to state, that in speaking of any
discase, it is prc-supposed of course that the disease is recognized. Many
diseases arc so masked, that no one but a medical expert can detect them,
and it is said that even doctors differ sometimes. In the case of abscess, for
instance, some abscesses are so deeply seated, that their existence would
never be suspected, save by a medical man-hence they are not subjects for
domestic treatment. No attempt, even, can be made in a work like this, to
impart skill in diagnosis, or discrimination between obscure diseases: such
cases, wheic no doctor is to be had, must be felt after with the Repertory
and Materia Medica.

APOPLEXY.


AFTERPAINS.
A few pellets of Aconite or Coffea, in half a glass
of water, a teaspoonful given every hour, will generally control these-especially if the tincture of
Calendula  (marigold) one part to    twenty  of
water, be applied to the external parts, or thrown
into the vagina. If these fail, compare the other
remedies given in the Repertory, with the general
symptoms contained in the Materia Medica.
APHTHAE
Arise -from  a derangement of the stomach    or
bowels; are sometimes accompanied with fever,
restlessness and loss of appetite; the child drools.
Small vesicles first appear on the tip of the tongue,
the inside of the lips, chiefly the lower, and upon
the inside of the cheek; these soon burst and
leave little ulcers behind them; most commonly
appear in children and are not attended with danger.
The mouth may be washed repeatedly with a weak
solution of Borax. Mercurius is the chief remedy;
causes likely to produce indigestion must be removed.
Compare with Thrush as these diseases are sometimes confounded.
APOPLEXY
Is not likely to be mistaken for anything, but
the effe& of some poison, as Alcohol, Opium, etc.
Full-blooded people, especially as they advance in life,
should live moderately, avoiding undue excitement
of mind or body. Bell. and Op. would first suggest
themselves. In no case permit the patient to be bled.




ATROPHY (OF CHILDREN).


19


ASTHMA
Is a disease easily recognized: distressing, but
not dangerous; difficult of cure, and in many cases
incurable. Attacks may be brought on by overexertion, errors of diet, taking cold, exposure to
various odors, by suppression of the menses, or
the haemorrhoidal flow, or, by anything producing
a powerful effect upon the nervous system, as a sudden fright, great joy. One affected by this disease
should avoid all known causes; sometimes change of
climate is necessary. Ipec. Nux and Mere. are the
remedies first to be thought of, but consult the
Repertory for the various symptoms, due regard
being had to the state of the urinary secretion.
ATROPHY (OF CHILDREN).
Children wont grow sometimes; on the contrary,
they grow poor-that is Atrophy. To cure them, is
more a matter of management than medicine. Chin.
and Phos. are useful where the child is reduced by
diarrhcea. Calc. where it is teething. Merc. where
there are worms, alternately with Cina, if there is
fever now and then. It is often well to interpose an
occasional dose of Sulph., giving no medicine for
twenty-four hours after. Further directions may be
found in the other parts of the work.
As regards the management, the child must have
fresh air, plenty of sunlight, regular meals, and sleep
as little disturbed as possible. It should be more
warmly clad than a thriving child, but not sweltered.
Once a day, it should have a plunge bath, temperature about 95~ to begin with, gradually lowering it




20


ATROPHY (OF CHILDREN).


as the patient gets more lusty. One person should
stand ready with a blanket well warmed, and
another, taking the naked child, should plunge it.
into the water-all but its head-as suddenly as possible-not holding it there a second, then wrap it up
instantly in the warm blanket and stow it away in its
bed. If it takes the bath kindly, it will go to sleep
in the blanket, and may sleep, from half an hour to
an hour, or even two. When it wakes, feed it, if it
has slept long-otherwise not-sponge it off-in the
blanket-and rub it well with the hand from head
to foot, and dress it. If the weather should permit,
a turn in the air would then be in order; indeed, the
more it can be kept in the air the better. It should
be understood, that this bath is not to be given just
after eating-nor any other.
Now, as regards the diet-and this is the most difficult and important of all; for what one child will
thrive on, another will not touch; nay, what answers
very well for a few days, may then nauseate, and now
the question comes up, what next? Unhappily, the
answer is not always at hand. The following preparation has saved many lives, and answers every
purpose, if the child will but take it; to some children it is nauseous. Put an ounce of grated carrot
into half a pint of cold water-let it stand in a cool
place for.twelve hours-stirring it ever and anon;
then strain it; thicken the liquid with arrow root,
bread crumbs or cookies; it may be thin enough to
draw through the nursing bottle, or as thick as pap,
according to the taste of the child; if arrow root is
used, add a little salt and white sugar; if bread, only
sugar, and if cookies, neither; this done, put it on a
slow fire, and just let it come to a boil-no more;
then it is ready; this should be prepared night and
morning, as it will not keep long.




BLOOD, SPITTING. OF.


21


Animal broths answer better with some; beef, mutton or chicken. The following is a good way to
prepare them: Mince up a pound of lean but tender
beef, put it into a pint of cold water, and let it stand
3 or 4 hours in a cool place; put it on a slow fire,
add a little salt, some like sugar too, let it boil gently
a minute or two, strain it and it is ready for use.
When the child will take none of these things, show
it various articles of food and let it have what it
selects-there is no alternative.  A change 'of air is
often advisable, indeed essential.
BLOOD, SPITTING OF.
A very alarming symptom, but, in general, less
immediately dangerous than alarming. The blood
may not come from the lungs; a little inquiry will
show whether it does not come from the nose, gums
or upper part of the throat. If it come from the
lungs, it will be mixed with little bubbles of air;
spitting of blood is attended with anxiety and apprehension, and more or less prostration.  Where the
haemorrhage is considerable, the patient should lie
down at once (the head and chest rather elevated)
and maintain as tranquil a state of mind and body as
possible. Ipecac or Arsenic may be given, preceded,
if there is much excitement of the circulation, by a
few doses of Aconite; Ledum also is a remedy of
greatvirtue in the treatment of this affection, where
the blood is bright red, especially where there is
oppression, or constriction of the chest, rendering
respiration painful, or sharp, lacerating pains and
quickening of the circulation.




22      BOWELS, INFLAMMATION OF THE.


BLOOD, VOMITING OF.
This, like spitting of blood, is rather alarming than
immediately dangerous. Instances have been known,
where large quantities of blood have been ejected
from the stomach at various intervals, without destroying the life of the patient. It may be produced by
over exertion, suppression of the menstrual or hamorrhoidal flow, or from ulceration of the stomach.
As the causes are similar to those of spitting of
blood, the same remedies should be used; perfect
repose is also necessary, and a light diet.
BOWELS, INFLAMMATION OF THE.
This is a disease of which there are several varieties, but it is not important in such a work as this to
distinguish them. Taking cold is perhaps the most
frequent cause; it may also be produced by various
poisons, by irritating food, by worms (in children),
by teething; by perforation of the stomach or bowels, by which their contents are discharged into the
cavity of the abdomen.   The pain is very acute,
generally located about the navel, and is increased by
touch or motion; the patient lies upon his back with
the knees drawn up, the abdomen being much distended; the bowels are constipated, except where
the lining membrane of the intestines is the seat of
the disease, in which case diarrhoea is present; there
is also great thirst, with vomitings; there is general
fever, with a small or rapid pulse. The urine is scanty and high colored, sometimes suppressed. In the
treatment of these cases, applications of flannels,
wrung out of warm water, afford much relief; great




BRAIN, INFLAMMATION OF THE.


23


benefit often results from the use of the smart-weed
or Hydropiper, which happily is abundant, almost
everywhere, in the Northern and Western States;
the leaves and stalks may be dipped into hot water,
and applied to the abdomen, folded in a cloth. In
no case should purgatives be given to move the bowels.  Luke-warm   injections are recommended by
some, and may be of benefit. As regards.medicine,
Acon. is generally recommended as the first thing, to
be followed by Ars. and Verat. If but one remedy
were to be recommended, it would be Merc. Dulc.
or Calomel. It is especially adapted to those cases
which are attended with diarrhoea.
BRAIN, INFLAMMATION OF THE.
Physicians distinguish several varieties of this disease, according as it attacks one part or membrane or
another, but for lay practice, these distinctions are
alike impracticable and useless. The causes of this
disease in adults are, external violence; the action
of the sun (producing sun-stroke), undue mental labor, especially where connected with irregularity in
eating and sleeping; intense moral emotions, whether depressing or exalting. In constitutions inheriting
a predisposition to this affection, slighter causes will
produce it than in others; hence in such cases great
care should be taken to avoid these causes. Hysteria is sometimes mistaken for this disease, even by
physicians; in laical practice, the mistake would not
be a serious one, except so far as it occasioned more
apprehension for the result than necessary.
The symptoms which characterize this disease are
as follows: Acute pain in the head, great sensitiveness to light and noise, face flushed and eyes brilliant,




24        BRAIN, INFLAMMATION OF THE.
with the pupils contracted; restlessness and sleeplessness, tumultuous throbbing of the arteries of the
neck and head, more or less delirium, generally heat
of the skin, pulse quick and hard, great thirst, retching or vomiting; spasmodic movements of the limbs
or muscles of the face are observed, if not general
convulsions.
If the disease progresses without abatement, a different train of symptoms is noticed: the patient becomes stupid, the eyes dull and watery, a deep and
unconscious sleep takes the place of the previous
wakefulness and there is paralysis; sometimes the
limbs are rigid, at others one or more may be seen
in constant motion; the urine is scanty or suppressed,
but sometimes passed unconsciously; convulsions generally end the scene.
The disease, as before said, is sometimes produced
by a fall or a blow upon the head. Where the head
is thus injured, perfect quiet is the first thing needed
-in no case permit bleeding-some cases may need
stimulants, but if no physician can be had, it is best
to depend upon rest. Arnica would be appropriate,
in such a case, at the commencement of the treatment, and afterwards, the other remedies, according
to the indications.
In case of sun-stroke, Camph. is the remedy most
generally indicated.
In the treatment of inflammation of the brain,
perfect repose is essential; the room should be darkened, water should be applied to the head, warm or
cold, as is most grateful; when the patient is unconscious, and cannot express his wants, he may nevertheless indicate to a watchful eye, which application
affords the most relief.  As for medicines, Aconite
is the first thing; in choice -of the other remedies




BREASTS, INFLAMMATION OF THE.


25


the symptoms must direct. Where the disease is
produced by overtasking the mind, Chin. and Phos.
should be consulted, also Nux.
Convulsions are apt to occur in course of this-disease, especially in children; they are much more
serious in their import, than when they occur from
teething or indigestion. It is only necessary to add
beyond what has been already said, that in convulsions of children, where the soft place on the top of
the head is full, Bell. Canth. Cham. Hyos. Tart.
should be considered; where it is sunken, Calc. Chin.
Ipec. Phos.
BREASTS, INFLAMMATION OF THE.
Though the breasts may inflame at any time, it is
seldom that they do, except in infants soon after birth,
or in nursing women. Male as well as female infants
are subject to this affection-a compress wet with Arnica water, is generally all that is needed. In nursing women, the breasts frequently inflame; generally
from undue exposure to cold. The breasts swell, become very hot and painful, and, sooner or later, matter
is discharged: the pain is very severe and throbbing.
Bell. and Bry. generally suffice for the treatment;
Phos. also is useful, alternately with Bry., in cases
which do not yield readily. At the first intimation
of this trouble, the breast should be fomented thoroughly and persistently; take a piece of flannel, large
enough to cover the breast well, and of three or four
thicknesses; wring it out of water as hot as can be
borne and cover it with dry flannel or oiled silk; before it cools, have another flannel ready to put on in
its place; this, if done early enough, will in most
cases scatter the inflammation; the leaves of the Hy4




26


B.RONCHITIS.


dropiper or Smart-weed, steeped in hot water, also
make a very good application. A spoonful of a solution of Camphor, every ten or fifteen minutes, will
render efficient aid, if given early.
Where these do not succeed, a light dressing of
Lycopersicum cerate should be applied, covered
with oiled silk. The opening of the abscess, when
it comes near the surface, will save much suffering,
and, as far as my observation goes, is attended with
no bad results, although a contrary opinion has been
maintained by some. There is one thing very curious about this very painful affection-nurses never
see it. I never saw but one nurse who had seen a
broken breast; she was advanced in years and had
seen one. Mothers see them often enough, and as
prevention is better than cure, let them, especially if
young, keep their breasts well protected, and the
milk thoroughly drawn out. If it is said that it is
hard to keep breasts covered, to which the baby
has full access all night, the reply is: well regulated
babies do not nurse all night..
BRONCHITIS.
This is an inflammation of the mucous membrane which lines the air tubes, and is generally
produced by exposure to cold.  It is not liable to
be mistaken for anything but inflammation of the
lungs, and as the treatment and general management
of the two diseases, in lay practice at least, must be
substantially the same, the mistake would not be ot
any moment. The fever, cough, constriction of the
chest, character of the expectoration and other accompanying symptoms, will indicate the proper remedy by consulting the Repertory. Where there is




CARBUNCLES.


27


n difficulty in breathing, cloths wrung out of.arm water, applied to the chest, afford great relief;
they should be well protected from the external air.
Acon. is the first remedy, generally advised, but if
taken in hand as soon as it is discovered that cold has
been taken, Camph. will be found to be an excellent
remedy. Ipec. and Bry. will render efficient aid.
They may follow either Camph. or Acon.
CARBUNCLES
Are, to all intents and purposes, large boils, with
several openings. Cover the swelling with fresh
tomatoes, if they are to be had; canned tomatoes
answer very well. If this does not afford prompt
relief, the carbuncle should be thoroughly opened by
a crucial incision thus - and the tomato re-applied.
Silic. is recommended as the chief remedy. Arsenicum is also needed in some cases, where the pain is
of a burning character and the sore is slow in taking
on a healthy look.
CATARRH.
Acute catarrh, or cold in the head, is a very common affection. Camph. is the first remedy, then
Ars. if the discharge be very thin, Calc. or Merc. if
thick, Nux, if it be wanting, Lye. if offensive, Sulph.
if burning.




28


CHOLERA.


Chronic Catarrh, which consists in inflammation
and ulceration of the lining membrane of the nose
and the adjacent cavities, is quite another thing; it it
a very distressing disease, and very difficult to cure.
Calc., Lye., Mere., Sulph. and Tart. are the chief
remedies, which must be selected according to the
indications. Snuffing cold water into the nostrils
often affords relief, and so does Camphor snuff. After
you have exhausted your own skill and patience,
consult a Homceopathic Physician-perhaps you will
fail of a cure even then.
CHICKEN POX.
A very simple eruption, unattended with danger.
It comes out like a little bladder on various parts of
the body, at once. Aconite is generally all that is
needed. For any accompanying symptoms, consult
Repertory.
CHILBLAINS.
Arnica water is recommended as an external application. Nux or Puls. may be given internally.
CHOLERA.
As the Asiatic Cholera has not been seen, as an
epidemic, for several years, it may seem hardly worth
while to say much about it; nevertheless, its return
is possible, and as it is a disease universally dreaded
beyond all expression, a few words may not be out
of place. If I do not agree with every one, I can
only say my views are drawn from my own observation of three epidemics.




CHOLERA.


29


And the first thing to be noticed is, that Cholera
is not, or rather need not be, a cause of alarm, and
this for two reasons.  In the first place, it always
gives notice of its approach (as I have not seen all
the cases of Cholera which ever occurred, this
" always" must be taken in a restricted sense, but as
far as my observation goes, this is true). Prof.
M'Naughton, of Albany, was, I believe, the first to
call attention to the fact that, a white tongue preceded any other symptoms of Cholera, for at least
twenty-four hours. Succeeding this, is a mild and
painless diarrhcea; this may continue for days before
the fearful symptoms of Cholera set in.  Now, in
the second place, under either of these conditions,
no disease is more amenable to proper treatmentprobably one case in a thousand would not die. The
danger is, these stages are neglected, and after them
the collapse sometimes occurs like a thunder clap.
Therefore, in a cholera epidemic, dismiss fear, which
is a powerful predisposing cause, and a very poor
counselor; make no change in your diet, except to
avoid food difficult of digestion; do not eat when too
much heated or wearied; sleep sufficiently warm at
night, for the thermometer is apt to fall 3 or 4 or
more degrees, early in the morning, when one is
likely to take cold. When the white tongue is noticed,
consult Ipec. Merc. Sulph., and be not fearful, but
thankful, that you are able to take time by the forelock.  If diarrhcea sets in, however slight, go to bed,
or at least to your lounge, and lie quietly, in mind
and body, till the diarrhcea is checked; Merc. perhaps will reach the greatest number of cases; Sulph.
is also good. If there is'much colic or any chilliness,
take Camph. first, in solution, a teaspoonful every ten or
fifteen minutes, and following by Merc.; when these
symptoms have abated, Phos. may also be considered.




30


CHOLERA.


If the case is seen later in the progress of the
disease, after cramps have set in, Camphor is still
the remedy. The patient, while taking this remedy,
should be well covered up in bed; hot bottles may
be applied to the feet and legs. For the diarrhcea and'
vomiting, consult Ipec. or Verat.; Sec. is also indicated for cramps, with diarrhcea and vomiting. If
there is much thirst, small bits of ice may be taken,
every few moments. Ars. will also come into use,
if the above mentioned remedies should fail to check
the diarrhoea, especially where there is great thirst
and restlessness, with vomiting. The remedies should
be given every ten or fifteen minutes, making the
intervals longer, as soon as improvement manifests
itself.
If the patient is seen in a still later stage, in that
of collapse, he is found cold and pulseless, the eyes
are sunken, with blue circles about them, the nose
pinched, the voice weak and husky, sometimes almost
extinct-the thirst is intense; the cramps, with the
vomiting and diarrhcea, continue and there is great
restlessness-the body is also bathed with a cold and
clammy sweat. External heat now but adds to the
patient's sufferings-dry friction is requisite, or friction with cold and wet cloths-ice may be given
freely. Ars. will here be found the remedy, either
alone, or alternately with Secale.
In recovering from any of these stages, a return to
the usual diet must be gradual: at first, rice water
or gruel, then beef-tea. After other dangers are
passed, and patients bid fair to recover, there is
often a suppression of urine. For this, Acon. and
Secale should be given in alternation, every hour
or two.




CHOLERI( INFANTUM.


31


CHOLERA INFANTUM,
As its name implies, is an affection of children, and
generally under three years, most frequently occurring
in summer. It commonly, but not always, comes on
with vomiting, then diarrhoea; the child is restless;
drinks eagerly, but is apt to reject what it drinks;
the head becomes hot; the eyes sunken and half
open; the, child emaciates very rapidly.
IpecA, is the proper remedy at first I if there is
much prostration, alternate with Verat.-remembering at the same time the use of Camph. as elsewhere
recommended, in case of great prostration. Ars.
must be used, if vomiting does not yield. Mere.
dulc. also where there is vomiting, frequent stools,
great restlessness, heat of head; it may be given
alternately with Ipec. Pod. is often useful where
the discharges are very offensive-like carrion, of a
dirty chalk color; the child vomits or gags, has dark
circles about the eyes. Calc. for whitish discharges,
where the children are teething.
For diet, see articles mentioned under Atrophy.
The vomiting and diarrhoea checked, the food is a matter of vital importance. If the child becomes drowsy
and sleeps with its eyes half open, head hot, feet
cold, with the soft place in the head sunken in,
it is sinking from exhaustion.; a warm bath for
three or four minutes is soothing, but proper nourishment is the main necessity; sometimes stimulants,
asalittle Camph., or a few drops of brandy even.
Chin. and Phos. should be given every hour, or
Calc. and Phos. where the child has lumps in the
neck or under the arms. The main indication, however, is to keep up the strength.




32


COLIC.


CHOLERA MORBUS
Is produced by errors of diet, irritant poisons, taking,
cold, especially in summer, at night, and by suppression of the perspiration, or the menstrual flow. If
permitted to run its course, cramps ensue, the
patients become prostrated   and  sometimes die,
though this is seldom the case under homoeopathic
treatment. Where overloading the stomach, especially with food difficult of digestion, is the cause, give
a teaspoonful of coffee (without milk or sugar) every
five or ten minutes, till relieved; if poison is
suspected, consult the chapter on Poisons. If from
cold, Camphor is the first thing to be thought of.
Cover the patient up well, and give him a teaspoonful
of Camphor solution every five or ten minutes till
relieved. If from a checking of the menstrual flow,
especially from cold, give Acon., Nux. or Puls.; the
first, however, will usually suffice-the diet should
be simple for a day or two.
COLIC
Is produced by various causes. Where it comes on
suddenly from taking cold, Camph. is the remedy; if
from undigested food, coffee, without milk or sugar
-a teaspoonful every ten or fifteen minutes. Where
't is attended with constipation, Bry. or Nux; if
with vomiting and diarrhoea, Ars., Ipec. or Verat.;
where there is much wind in the bowels, Lyc. or
Coloc., if connected with menstrual disturbance,
Puls. or Sep.; with urinary troubles, Nux or Turpentine (see Urination); where it occurs frequently,
the cause should be discovered if possible, and




CONVULSIONS.


33


avoided, where it is external;-if it is produced by
disordered menstruation, disease of the liver or kidneys, or by worms, these should receive special
attention during the intervals between the paroxysms.
In such cases, the advice of a physician should besought.
CONSTIPATION.
A great bug-bear, which has frightened thousands of
people to death. Time was, when the bowels must
move every day, cost what it might; the people are
getting more rational, and "' the profession" are
gradually falling in with their notions. As a general
thing, the best advice to a constipated person, is to
take more exercise, and eat less for a short time;
nevertheless, some cases are obstinate, and as it is
desirable that the bowels should be relieved now
and then, medicine sometimes has to be used for this
purpose. Nux taken at night and Sulph. in the
morning, will cover most cases of chronic constipation. Bry. and Op. in alternation often afford relief;
the Repertory will suggest other remedies.
CONVULSIONS.
This word opens a wide field of discussion, and
would be a sufficient theme for a volume. Any
notice of it contained within a page or two, must of
necessity be very incomplete. Epileptic convulsions
must be left entirely out of the question, and the convulsions of women and children alone considered.
And first, as regards children. Convulsions are very
common in children, and very alarming, but not
always very dangerous. They either come on suddenly, or at least without any very marked premoni



34


CONVULSIONS.


tions, or, in the course of some serious affection, as
inflammation of the brain, or lungs, or bowels, etc.;
these latter must also be excluded, as they will be
treated of elsewhere. Of suddenly occurring convulsions in children, we may also make two classes,
those which precede some eruptive disease, as Scarlet
Fever or Small Pox, and those which are produced
by  taking cold, by improper diet, by      fright,
from a fall, during teething, and it is this latter
class only which I shall now notice, and that very
briefly. The treatment is twofold: first, as concerns
the mother and attendants; and secondly, as regards the
child. At the first outbreak of convulsions in a child,.
the mother especially, should take a large dose of
courage and coolness; if she is not a resolute woman,
she will need repeated doses-she needs them for
herself, that she may direct the treatment of the
child; and for the child, especially if it nurses, for
any overpowering passion vitiates the mother's milk,
and thus prolongs the suffering and danger of the
child. Let us suppose, then, the mother thus fortified, and the child suddenly taken with convulsions.
Do not wait to consider causes, but put the feet and
legs of the child into warm water, as warm as can
be borne-sponging off the head meantime with cold
water. Now is the time to consider causes, and a
mind, stimulated by a mother's love, can think very
rapidly; has the child had a fall-has it been frightened-is scarlet fever, or measles, or diphtheria about
-is it teething? If not, the child has probably taken
cold or has a deranged stomach, more likely both,
since people are not very apt to take cold, especially
from slight exposures, who have their stomachs in
good order. Camphor may now be given in drops
on a bit of sugar dissolved in six tablespoonfuls of




CONVULSIONS.


35


water, a teaspoonful (or part of it according to the
age of the child) given every five minutes.  While
this is being taken, the child should be well wrapped
up, so as to promote perspiration.  If a cold alone
has produced the convulsions, this will in most cases
suffice. If there is any reason to suspect derangement of the stomach, and especially, if there is
vomiting, Ipec. or Nux. will be suitable. A few
drops of Coffea might be given to robust children
with advantage (as directed under the head of Cholera Morbus). Nux. will be more suitable it there
has been constipation, and the bowels should be
moved by an injection of salt and water.  Give a
large injection-all the bowels will hold-less is
useless. If the convulsions arise from  fright, give
Op.-from   teething, Cham. or Bell.-from  a- fall,
give Arnica, and apply Arnica lotion to the parts
injured.  When the child comes out of the convulsion it may show signs ot hunger, and it is by no
means a matter of indifference what food it has. If
the child is fed on milk, it would be natural to give
it that-but if it soon goes into another convulsion
and throws up the milk, give no more milk, but rather
beef-tea for a few hours, till the stomach recovers its
tone. If the fits are produced by teething, the gums
should be lanced, or lacerated by a thimble or bit of
white sugar.
In women, either before or after confinement,
convulsions are dangerous. If there has been suppression or scanty flow of urine, give Hyos. every
half hour.  If the patient is unconscious, with heat
of the head, give Bell., if the face looks almost black,
with unconsciousness, foam at the mouth, snoring
breathing, give Op.; if the pellets do not relieve,
give a drop of Laudanum every half hour; if the




36


COUGH.


spasms are very violent, the patient seeming in great
agony, striking and biting at every one, Canth. is
the remedy. Nux. may be given where the patient
is conscious, and rather rigid, than convulsed. A
useful hint may be drawn from the treatment o-f
lock-jaw. Keep the head cool and the feet warm.
If the bowels are confined, give an injection of salt
water-not less than a quart. If the convulsions
come on after much. flowing, stimulants may be
needed, as Camph.
CONSUMPTION
Cannot be treated of in such a work as this. Persons who are losing flesh and strength, especially if
any of their family have been consumptive, should
consult a physician at once. This disease, taken in
its earlier stages, may often be cured-the probability
of a cure diminishes with every day's delay. Where
a physician cannot be had, consult Calc. Lyc.
Mere. Phos. The medicines should not be taken
too often. An invigorating diet and regimen should
be pursued, and everything debilitating or depressing,
avoided as much as possible.
COUGH.
See the various diseases in which cough is a prominent symptom, as bronchitis, inflammation of
lungs, croup, etc.   Sometimes a cough    occurs
which can be considered under none of these heads.
A few general indications may be given; Nux is
useful where the cough proceeds from derangement
of the stomach, or Puls.; the former for irritable, the
latter for quiet dispositions; Bell. for a barking cough,
Hyos. for dry cough at night. Ipec. and Bry. alternately, relieve a great variety of coughs.




CROUP.


37


CROUP
Is a sound of terror to all mothers, and deservedly so;
yet all is not croup, that is called croup. True
croup is a very dangerous disease-perhaps none
more so-yet as far as my own observation goes, a
very rare one, and from this very fact, I speak of it
with diffidence. It is described by most writers as
coming on suddenly, generally in the night, but
judging from the cases which have fallen under my
own observation, it is a most insidious disease, and
often reaches an incurable stage, before it has excited
any alarm. It is said that it seldom if ever occurs
in children- who are properly clad, that is, having
the arms and upper part of the chest duly protected,
as well as the rest of the body; if this is true, the
prevention of the disease is as easy as the cure is
difficult. There are two symptoms peculiar to true
croup, which are difficult to describe, but which
once heard, can never be forgotten: the cough,
which has been compared to the crowing of a young
cock, and which, when most severe and violent, has
a peculiar sharp, metallic clangor; and the inspiration, which is prolonged in a very marked manner,
and accompanied with a peculiar whizzing sound, called stridor. Where these two sounds are observed with
the usual catarrhal symptoms, there is true croup,
whether a false membrane can be seen forming upon
the upper part of the windpipe or not. False croup
is not usually accompanied with this stridor, nor, in
true croup, is the clangor always very markedaccording to my observation. The symptoms are
always worse at night, and may remit so much
during the first few days, as to create but little if any
observation, but as the disease advances, the diffi



38


DELIRIUM TREMENS.


culty of breathing increases-the patient is disposed
to throw his head back-the chest heaves and labors
-the skin is bathed with perspiration and the face
becomes livid-these symptoms are worse by turns
-during the intervals, the child may be apparently
much relieved-calls for its play things and responds
to the caresses of its attendants; there is seldom much
trouble to swallow, and water is taken eagerly. In the
further progress of the disease, the cough may diminish, or quite disappear, but the other symptoms
increase, and the child often dies in convulsions.
For such cases, domestic treatment is, of course, inadequate; and, unhappily, the treatment of physicians is
too often unsuccessful. The chest and throat should
be enveloped with cloths wet with cold water.
Tart. and Phos. given every half hour alternately,
should be given persistently. Where the respiration
is very difficult, the fumes of Camphor afford some
relief.
For other forms of Croup, Teste recommends Ipec.
and Bry. alternately-as he does indeed for all kinds:
and, for anything but true croup, I fully endorse
the recommendation; nevertheless, where there is
much general fever, preliminary doses of Acon. can
do no harm.
Where these remedies do not have the desired
effect, Kali bichromicum may be employed; for the
manner of using which, see Diphtheria.
DELIRIUM TREMENS
Is a mournful, frightful, disgusting, comical disease,
just as one sees proper to look at it. It is hardly
a disease to be treated domestically, nevertheless, a
necessity for such treatment may arise.  The chief
indication is to produce sleep. Ars., Nux and Op.




DENGUE.


39


are to be considered. Where other remedies have
failed, I have seen patients put to sleep very promptly
by a teaspoonful of coffee, given every 15 or 30
minutes; on waking from sleep, some easily digested
food should be offered. There are few constitutions
which can survive many attacks of this affection.
DENGUE.
BY DR. W. H. HOLCOMBE, NEW ORLEANS.
This is a curious epidemic disease, peculiar to
Yellow Fever latitudes-and strangely compounded
of Yellow Fever, Rheumatism, Scarlet Fever and
Influenza. It is sometimes excessively painful-but
very rarely fatal under any or no practice.
The patient has a chill, a cold in the head, red
and watery eyes-high fever, violent pain in the
head, back and joints-sometimes in the fingers.
The fever lasts two or three days; after which,
although sometimes not until the fifth day, and after
a deceitful lull like that of Yellow Fever, a rash,
with renewed fever, generally appears on the skin.
This eruption is singularly diversified. I have seen
it resemble Scarlet Fever in one house, Measles in
another, Urticaria or Nettle-rash in a third, and
all one and the same epidemic.
Treat the first stage as directed under the head of
Yellow Fever.
If rheumatic symptoms decidedly prevail, give
Bryonia and Rhus. every two hours.
If the rash resembles Scarlet Fever, give a few
doses of Belladonna; if it resembles Measles, give
Pulsatilla; if it resembles Nettle-rash, give Dulcamara.




40


DIPHTHERIA.


The convalescence is sometimes painful and tedious.
If there is foul tongue, constipation, no appetite,
etc., give Nux Vomica, three times a day, for several
days.
If the attack has been very severe, and great debility is the result, give China, three times a day, for a
week.
DIARRHCEA.
Taking cold frequently occasions Diarrhcea, especially in the summer. Camph. is the remedy. Coloc.
or Ipec. may also be suitable; Verat. may be given
if there is much vomiting, and especially if produced
by eating acid or unripe fruit. Perhaps no more
general remedy can be suggested than Mere. Chin.
and Phos. are to be given for debilitating watery
discharges, Calc. or Pod. for white, offensive discharges of teething children, or Cham. if the discharges are green or yellow, and make the parts sore;
further indications will be found in the Repertory.
Repose is a necessary aid in the treatment. Sometimes much benefit is found in the use of the warm
sitz bath; all known causes must of course be
avoided.
DIPHTHERIA.
It is reasonable to conclude that this disease is not
very well understood, when we consider how often
it is fatal, notwithstanding the infallible remedies
recommended in its treatment. The causes of it are
obscure; the blood in the first instance is poisoned;
then we have the general symptoms, as lassitude,
fever, sore throat, covered with a false membrane,
looking like wash-leather; acrid discharge from one




DIPHTHERIA.


41


nostril, enlarged glands in the neck, offensive breath,
sometimes delirium, sometimes stupor. The peculiar false membrane in the throat and the offensive
breath are said to be characteristic of the disease,
though we are also told, that in some cases the
false membrane does not appear, and it is equally
certain that in some cases the offensive breath is not
very marked. Though attended with inflammation,
it should be borne in mind, that it is a disease in
which there is great prostration of the vital powers,
hence means must be used to keep up the strength
of the patient. As regards the treatment, as soon as
any appearance of a cold presents itself, give Camph.;
if the symptoms of a cold are very marked, put the
patient to bed and give a teaspoonful of the solution
every fifteen or twenty minutes, till perspiration
ensues-after that, less frequently. If the throat
should show signs of inflammation, give Mere. dulc.
zd. every two hours, and gargle or swab out the throat
with Camphor solution every hour between. Put
a thin slice of pork in a thin bandage and tie it
about the throat.
This treatment will usually suffice for the milder
cases; for those which are more severe, give Mere.
Iod. I, with the Camphor gargle as before, while
the fever is high, and Ars. Iod. when the fever
begins to subside. Where the disease seems to be a
combination of Croup and Diphtheria, Kali bichrom.
is the remedy, a dose every hour or two. A small
quantity-as much as will lie on a five-cent piecemay be put into some boiling water, and the child
may inhale the fumes; it may be kept boiling near
the child, and thus keep the atmosphere impregnated
with it; the fumes of Camphor are also useful sometimes in these cases.
6




42


DYSENTERY.


Where the false membrane is thrown out, the
danger is not passed: the strength must be kept up
by nourishing food; unhappily, at such times, the
stomach often rejects what it should retain; here the
Ars. Iod. is of use, but the other remedies sometimes
come into play-these must be consulted in the
Repertory.  Other children should be kept apart
from the patient as much as possible; and a piece of
Camphor kept in the mouth, by those who must be
exposed to the breath of the patient, may prevent
infection.
DROPSY
Is generally the result of some previous disease, ar 1
must be considered in connection with these diseases,
with the light to be obtained by consulting the
Repertory and Materia Medica.
Ars. and Merc. are useful remedies. The former
especially, after having taken Quinine in large doses,
or for a long time.
DYSENTERY.
The symptoms of this disease are too well known
to make any detail necessary,   The causes are
improper food, and taking cold. Patients suffering
with this disease, should be kept as quiet as possible;
a cold sitz bath after each movement, is often a great
relief. Injections of cold water are also recommended.   The diet should be light at first, but
when the first acute symptoms have somewhat subsided, mutton-tea and stale bread and butter may be
used, though many writers denounce them. Hering
recommends fresh butter, taken without stint, and I
know one case, at least, where a little patient cured
herself of a dysentery, which had become quite
chronic, by a stolen visit to the butter jar, Merc. is
the chief remedy where there is much griping, Coloc.,




EARACHE.


43


may be given alternately with it, or Canth., where
the passages look like the washings of flesh, and
urination is scanty or painful. Nux is of use where
there is much straining at stool, but little accomplished. Pod. is useful for children, especially
where the " body comes down," as it is termed.
Ars. is required where the stools are very offensive
and the patient seems to be sinking.
DYSPEPSIA.
" Live on sixpence a day and earn it," was the
advice of Dr. Abernethy to his patients, and this
embraces about all that can be said on the subject.
Every dyspeptic knows, to some extent at least, the
habits which produce dyspepsia with him or herthese must be avoided-then proper exercise will
put him into a fair way of being cured. This being
a chronic disease, it can only be glanced at here,
and a few palliatives be mentioned. Nux may be
given where indigestion is produced by over-exertion of mind or prolonged watching, Lye. from rich
farinaceous diet, Puls. from  animal food, Calc.
where there are sour risings. In all cases avoid
drugging, and especially purgatives.
EARACHE.
A few drops of warm molasses dropped into the
ear, or a few drops of warm olive oil, will afford
much relief; sometimes a drop or two of Camphorated
oil. Puls. may be given where the pains are shooting
-with inflammation of the inner and outer ear, or
purulent discharges. Bell. where there is burning in
the ears, or tearing pains from above downwards,
Cham. when cold has been taken and the pains are
shooting and tearing; Mere, for deep seated pains with
burning; swelling of the face or of the glands of the
neck; purulent discharges.




44


FEVERS, INTERMITTENT.


ERYSIPELAS.
This disease is readily recognized. The diet
should be light; where the parts burn very much,
relief is sometimes obtained by covering the part
with a light dressing of cotton batting; sometimes
flour. Dr. Pulte recommends cold water dressings
where there is great burning, but adds, they should
be well covered. Acon. and Bell. are the chief
remedies. Rhus is to be considered where there
are large blisters present, also where the parts
affe&ed have a doughy look and pit on pressure.
Phos. is useful where it attacks the face and head,
especially in children, and may be given alternately
with Bry. or Hep. Sulph.
EYES, INFLAMMATION OF.
If the inflammation proceeds from an external
injury, bathe the eye in Arnica water and give Acon.
internally. Acon. and Bell. alternately are the chief
remedies for the disease, arising from other causes.
Where the inflammation does not yield readily, Bell.
and Merc. dulc. should be used. The diet should
be light and the room dark.
FEVERS, INTERMITTENT.
These Fevers are too well known to need any
prolonged description-it is better to occupy the
space in telling how to cure and how to avoid them.
Persons living where Intermittent Fever prevails,
should avoid overloading the stomach, especially
with indigestible food, or food difficult of digestion,
as pork, pastry, or things cooked with lard; it is

better also to abstain from coffee; the morning airshould be avoided, and it is a useful precaution, to
have a little fire, morning and evening, in the sitting
room in the early fall. Where the air in the evening
is much cooler than during the day, proper precautions should be taken against catching cold.
In prescribing for these fevers, it is not enough
to consider the symptoms of the chill, the fever and
the sweat, but all the symptoms which present
themselves during the interval, should be brought
into the account. In most cases of simple fever and
ague, Ipec. will suffice to effect a cure; it should be
given two hours before the time of the expected
chill. For an adult, three or four drops of the first
dilution should be put into half a glass of water and
the whole taken at a dose; with children and adults of
a sensitive temperament, the pellets may answer the
same purpose. If this should not interrupt the
paroxysm, any remedy indicated by the symptoms
may be given in the interval and Ipec. given again
two hours before the next expe&ed attack. Chin.
is useful for intermittents of a regular type, that is
where the chill, fever, and sweat succeed in regular
order. Ars. on the contrary where one stage or
other is wanting, or not clearly marked; Lach. is
peculiarly adapted to chills in women suffering from
menstrual irregularities.
FEVER, PUERPERAL.
This is a very dangerous fever, but happily, where
the confinement has been conducted under homoeopathic auspices, not often seen. It begins, three or
four days after confinement, with a chill, soon followed by fever, with great sensitiveness of the
abdomen to the touch, especially in the region of




46


FEVER, REMITTENT.


the womb; the usual discharge is suppressed, as is
also the milk-the pulse is very quick-skin hot,
great thirst, sometimes vomiting. As before noticed,
the abdomen is very sensitive to the touch, sometimes the weight of a sheet cannot be endured, and
the patient lies upon her back, with her knees drawn
up, to relax the abdominal muscles. Acon. should
be given at the invasion of the disease, then as the
fever becomes marked, Bell. and Bry. If the urine
should be suppressed, give Hyos., if urination is
painful, Canth. If Bell. and Bry. do not check the
fever promptly, give Mere. dulc. every hour. In
cases which do not respond readily to the remedies,
a few doses of Op. may be of service, where there
is a tendency to stupor, or Camph. where there is
sinking.
FEVER, REMITTENT,
Called also Bilious or Bilious-Remittent. In this
disease, which commences with a chill, the fever is
continued, but once at least in the twenty-four hours,
it becomes lighter or remits, while in the intermittent, the fever ceases entirely for a time, or intermits.
In this disease, with the other usual symptoms of
fever, there is more or less distress in the stomach;
the tongue is white or yellowish, sometimes brown;
vomiting is generally present; there is headache, and
more or less thirst. It does not run any specific
course, but if not cured, may terminate either in
intermittent or typhoid fever. Acon. and Bry. may
be given where the fever is high, with much headache, yellow tongue and much thirst. Tart. where
there is great heat, with restlessness, with constant
gagging and nausea. In addition to these, Mere.
dulc. is often useful, especially where there is much
tenderness of the stomach or bowels, especially if

they are at the same time much distended. Water
may be given freely; and as soon as any desire for
food is manifested, it should be gratified. The food at
first should be simple and easily digested. If, as
averred by some, a Remittent is a worm fever, the
remedies recommended for worms should be consulted.
FEVER, TYPHOID.
This is a very common'fever, and at the same time
dangerous. Its causes are impure air-insufficient
diet-depressing passions; sometimes it prevails as
an epidemic; it begins with weariness and lassitude;
more or less chilliness and shivering; these may
continue three or four days, though in some cases
the invasion is more sudden; headache is also present, and a pain in the right side of the abdomen,
quite low down, especially on pressure. The tongue
at first is whitish, with red edges, but sooner or
later becomes dry, brownish or even blackish; the
teeth also, and the lips, often become encrusted with
a blackish exudation from the gums; the fever is apt
to run twenty-one or twenty-eight days, and when
it " turns," prostration is often observed, when the
patient's strength must be kept up by stimulants.
Rhus. and Bry. are the chief remedies; other remedies will be called for by various symptoms, as Hyos.,
where the urine is suppressed, or where there is
much delirium; indeed, the two are apt to go
together. Merc. for diarrhcea. If the bowels are
constipated, it is better to leave them to take care of
themselves; if any interference at all is used, it
should be nothing more than injections. Water
should be allowed without stint, and all the food the
patient can digest. This is a very nice point in the
treatment of these fevers, but the limits of this work




48


FEVER, YELLOW.


forbid details. If there is prostration, give Camph.
every few minutes; if this does not suffice, Ars. and
Sec. As before noticed under another head, a few
doses of Op. are of use, where the system does not
respond readily to the action of the remedy. Frequent sponging off with water affords great relief,
and in the early stages of the fever, the wet pack
may be used with     great advantage.  For other
symptoms, see Repertory. It may be added, that the
air in the room should be kept as pure as possible
and the patient undisturbed.
FEVER, YELLOW.
The following paper on the treatment of this
disease has been kindly furnished for this work, by
Dr. Holcombe, of New Orleans:
This scourge of the tropics is a peculiar, wellmarked disease, generally epidemic and contagious,
rarely occurring twice in the same system. It has
ravaged all our seaboard cities and towns from New
York to Galveston, and has penetrated several hundred miles up the Savannah, Alabama and Mississippi
rivers. New comers and unacclimated persons suffer
most severely. It is especially fatal to drunkards,
pregnant women and young children. It is very
mild when occuring in the negro race, in Spaniards, Frenchmen, Italians and native born Southerners; it is more severe in Northerners; in Englishmen still more so; and it is most fatal to Irish and
Germans. It is a disease of the hot months, of
summer and autumn. Its average duration is about
a week, and the deaths generally occur between the
third and sixth days. The convalescence is sometimes very slow.




FEVER, YELLOW.


49


Yellow fever generally begins with a sudden chill,
oftentimes in the middle of the night, followed
rapidly by intense fever, burning skin, great thirst,
excruciating headache, back ache and pains in the
limbs. The eyes are suffused, watery, and burning,
as if they had been exposed to the pungent smoke
arising from green wood. The tongue seems thickened, the tip pointed and the edges red, whilst a
thick white or yellow fur loads its centre.  There
is sometimes a good deal of mucous or bilious vomiting.  The nausea, sense of oppression, restlessness,
and the depression of spirits sometimes expressed in
the countenance, are remarkable.
These symptoms can scarcely be distinguished
from those which occur in the first stage of severe
bilious fever, typhoid fever, small-pox, dengue, or
any other violent febrile disorder. The red, smoky
appearance of the eyes, and the dark, suffused and
sad or stern expression of countenance, are to the
experienced observer the most suspicious symptoms.
At the beginning of an epidemic, few physicians
would risk their reputation, by declaring a case to be
yellow fever in this first stage. After the disease
has become fully developed, all other forms of fever
disappear, or take on the yellow fever type. The
first stage lasts from 24 to 48 or 60 hours, after
which the fever subsides, the skin becomes moist
and the patient sleeps. A great many mild cases
of yellow fever end here, and with good nursing,
the patient has a rapid recovery.
i The second stage is one of abatement or amelioration-sometimes awfully deceptive. In some cases
the fever entirely disappears, the tongue becomes
perfectly natural, the patient feels hungry, and wants
to get up and dress, whilst in reality the most ter7




50


FEVER, YELLOW.


rible changes are impending. This stage calls for
the strictest nursing and dieting. The symptoms
which should make you double your diligence and
apprehend the third stage, or that of collapse, are the
following: Voracious hunger, with a painful, gnawing sensation in the stomach, continued wakefulness,
frequent hawking of phlegm from the throat, acid
risings into the mouth, flatulence and rumbling in
the bowels, a strange feeling of deadness and weight
about the abdomen, and the appearance of a light
lemon tint in the white of the'eyes. A very slow
pulse, a little flightiness of mind, a profound apathy
of manner, and a countenance expressive of anxiety
or gloom, are also bad symptoms at this period of
the disease.
Sometimes this second stage is but faintly marked
or is very brief, and the symptoms of the third are
rapidly developed. The prominent features of this
alarming condition are the following: Burning in
the pit of the stomach, frequently ascending into the
throat; pain, sometimes violent in both stomach and
bowels; diarrhcea of a brown or black color; very
yellow urine, sometimes brown, like porter; increasing yellowness of the skin; eructations and hiccough,
oozing of blood from the gums or throat; constant
tossing about without sleep; pulse weak, rapid and
fluttering, or else slow and soft, with cold extremities;
delirium, sometimes mild and muttering, sometimes
furious; frequent vomiting, sometimes without nausea, of a yellowish-brown liquid, or of a claret-colored water, or of mucus or phlegm mixed here and
there, with many little dark brown specks, resembling
the wings or legs of flies, or little pieces of cobweb;
or sometimes of blood, either pure or more or less
mixed with the above elements. If the disease is




FEVER, YELLOW.


Si


not now arrested, you may expect the much dreaded
black vomit-which is vitiated blood, looking like
coffee grounds, or particles of soot or snuff, suspended
in water, to the consistence of thin molasses. A
total suppression of urine, profound stupor, and
convulsions often precede death. The yellowness
of the skin is not caused by a suppression of the bile,
nor is the black vomit the product of depraved secretions in the liver or stomach, but all the symptoms
of the third stage are due to a poisoning of the blood
-a terrible occult, physical and chemical alteration
of its properties, rendering it unfit to maintain life.
Yellow fever is not likely to be confounded
with any other disease but malignant bilious fever.
Although they have many symptoms in common,
they are essentially different maladies. Bilious fever
is mainly a disease of the country; yellow fever of
cities, towns and villages, never originating in the
rural districts.  Bilious fever occurs every year in
the malarial regions; several years may pass without
a yellow fever epidemic. Yellow fever is imported
and contagious; bilious fever is native and non-contagious.  The first cases of yellow fever, like those
of cholera, are-the most fatal; it is not so with bilious fever. Bilious fever consists of two or more
similar paroxysms, presenting the same elements, but
only deepening in intensity and danger; yellow
fever has but one paroxysm (its first stage, resembling that of bilious fever); and its three stages are
singularly unlike each other.  The haemorrhages
from the gums, nose, stomach, bowels, uterus, bladder, etc., so common in yellow fever, are extremely
rare in bilious fever, and when they do occur, they
do not present the same physical and chemical peculiarities. The yellowness of skin in yellow fever




52


FEVER, YELLOW.


deepens in intensity after death, which is not the
case with the yellowness of bilious fever. Some
people can detect a peculiar musty smell about a
yellow fever patient, quite characteristic of the
disease. Lastly, there is a singular fierce, dark, apathetic or dejected cast of countenance in yellow fever
rarely ever met with in any other malady.
TREATMENT.
When the chill comes on, give the patient a very
hot mustard foot bath for ten minutes, and wrap
him warmly, but not oppressively, in bed. Give
Aconite and Belladonna in alternation every hour.
If he vomits, give Ipecac after every act of vomiting.
If the febrile symptoms are not greatly relieved in
24 hours, give Bry. and Gels. in alternation every
hour. If the stomach continues irritable, give Tart.
after every act of vomiting. This will carry your
patient safely through the first stage. The first
stage may be alleviated considerably by the following
adjuvants: a copious injection of warm soap suds to
empty the lower bowels-a repetition of the hot
foot bath if necessary-frequent cold sponging of the
surface of the body to relieve the burning heat-and
mustard plasters to the back, shoulders or any point
suffering intense pain. Sipping a few spoonsful of
very hot water will sometimes relieve the distressing
nausea. The diet should be reduced nearly to zero.
Water crackers dissolved in very weak black tea.
The most sensible Allopaths-i. e. those of the
Expectant school-give nothing in the first stage
but a hot bath, a mild purgative and copious draughts
of sage or orange-leaf tea. The use of the lancet,
quinine, calomel and morphine is simply the consummation of ignorance and folly.




FEVER, YELLOW.


53


Now comes the real danger. Keep the patient
closely covered in bed, no matter how well he feels.
Do not let him change his room, or even his bed, for
any reason in the world. Do not satisfy his demands
for food. Give him, in addition to the tea and
crackers, a little rice gruel or arrow root. Enjoin
perfect quiet in the room. Put him on Ars. and
Mere. alternately every two hours. If he is restless
and nervous at night, interpose a dose of Coffea.
If any symptoms described as belonging to the
third stage, show themselves,alternate Ars. and Lach.
(or Crotalus) every two hours. Keep up these remedies faithfully to the end-interposing between them
such medicines as may be called for by different distressing symptoms, as for example:
For dark, painful or bloody diarrhcea: Phosphoric
Acid; Pod.; Verat. Mere.
For painful urination or suppressed urine: Canth.
For uterine hemorrhage, with or without abortion: Sabina, Secale, Hamamelis.
For extreme nervousness, delirium or convulsions:
Ign., Hyos., Stramonium.
For the vomiting here, Ipecac. and Tart. Emet.
seem useless; Nitrate of Silver and Kreasote, especially the former, offer the best hope of relief.
They should be made extemporaneously. Dissolve
one-half grain of crystallized Nitrate of Silver in an
ounce of boiled water, or distilled water, if it can be
got. Give a drop or two every half hour, or after
every act of vomiting. The Kreasote is prepared
by dissolving one drop in an ounce of Alcohol, and
it may be used at the same dose and in the same
manner. The diet should be pure cream in pounded




54


HIEMORRHAGE.


or rasped ice, beef-tea, wine-whey, or iced champagne wine, if stimulation is requisite. Frictions
with dry mustard or hot linseed or sweet oil may be
useful when the temperature of the skin is reduced.
Carb. veg. has been recommended as a forlorn
hope, and forlorn it is.
A dose of China every day promotes the convalescence, but great precautions about diet and exercise must be long enjoined.
HEMORRHAGE.
i. From the Nose.-In most cases this is slight,
and needs no other treatment than the application of
cold water. With some it seems constitutional; for
these cases, consult the remedies in the Repertory.
Where it comes from violence, a solution of Am. is
sufficient; where it comes from congestion to the head,
Acon. or Bell. and quiet; where it coincides with
suppressed or irregular menstruation, Bry., Chin.,
Sec. Sulph. or Verat. may be consulted.
2. From the Gums.-Fatal hemorrhages take place
now and then from drawing a tooth; for such haemorrhages, salt may be used, or ice, or, if it can be
obtained, powdered Matico; this will seldom fail.
Turpentine is also efficacious.
3. From the Lungs.-(See Blood, Spitting of,
p. 21.)
4. From the Stomach.-(See Blood, Vomiting of,
p. zz.)
5. From the Boweis.-When occasioned by Piles:
see " Piles." When produced by worms, Ledum.
will generally suffice; turpentine may also be used,




HIEMORRHAGE.


55


from one to six drops, according to patient's age may
be put upon a little sugar, and stirred up in four tablespoonfuls of water, and a teaspoonful given every
hour or so, according to severity of the attack.
It sometimes occurs in typhoid and other low
fevers; here Ipec., Merc., Nux and Rhus will be
found of use; also Ledum.
6. From the Womb.
A. Frcm Profuse Menstruation.-Ipec. is the chief
remedy for a sudden emergency. Bell. may be given
full-blooded women, where there are severe bearingdown pains and the blood is florid, Merc. where
it is pale or thin; occasions may arise where even
cinnamon tea might be desirable, but it is not best
to check these discharges at once and entirely; see
also the Repertory.
B. During Pregnancy; the only cause of Haemorrhage in this period, of which I shall treat, is: abortion or miscarriage. Not that.there are no others,
but neither their causes nor treatment could be
made intelligible in a domestic work. A pregnant
woman, then, who begins to flow, should go to bed
at once, and maintain the utmost composure of mind
and body. If she has suffered from a fall or blow,
she should take Arn. every half hour or hour. If
the blood is black and clotted, Ipec. will be suitable;
if fresh, and attended with expulsive pains, Sec. If
the flowing still continues, break up a few bits of
cinnamon, pour some boiling water on them, and
take a teaspoonful (after it cools) every few minutes.
By these means, the haemorrhage may be checked;
if so, it will be advisable for the patient to remain
quiet a day or two, or even longer. On the contrary, if the flowing continues, the contents of the




56


HIEMORRHAGE.


womb will be discharged-to ascertain this fact, the
cloths should be carefully examined; when once
discharged, if the womb contracts, the haemorrhage
will cease-if it does not contract, give Sec.; after
miscarriage, the patient should keep her bed five or
six days at least; if feeble, a longer time is better.
But the ovum may be but partially discharged;
that is, it may get as far as the mouth of the womb,
and there lodge; of course the womb cannot contract, and the flowing will continue; this fact can
readily be ascertained by a vaginal examination, provided one knows how-of course this cannot be
taught by a book. Supposing, however, the case
made out, one of two things must be done-the
ovum must be removed by the finger, or an appropriate instrument, or, if this cannot be done, and it
is not always possible, the vagina must be filled up;
this will prevent the flow, and at the same time
loosen the ovum from the mouth of the womb. To
this end take some small pieces of fine linen, or cotton, two or three inches square, dip them in oil and
introduce them into the vagina, pressing them well
up, till the vagina is full; then bring the thighs
together, and confine them so, if need be. This
may be removed in twenty-four or thirty-six hours,
and another attempt made to remove the ovum-if
unsuccessful, the vagina must be filled up again and
the patient left in quiet; this process will seldom:-eed to be repeated more than two or three times.
c. After Delivery.-This does not often happen
when the labor has been properly managed, it seldom  follows protracted labors, to any alarming
extent. Immediately after the expulsion of the child,
gentle pressure (not enough to give pain) should be
made upon the womb, and this should be kept up,




HEADACHE.


57


without intermission, till the after-birth is expelled,
at least. If, nevertheless, the flowing isprofuse, pour
cold water out of a pitcher from a height upon the
bare abdomen, at the same time making pressure
upon the womb. Sec. also will here come in play,
or Cinnamon. Such patients should be watched
carefully, as the hemorrhage may cease for a time
and then return.
The- haemorrhage being checked, the patient's
strength must be kept up, and even during the flowing this must not be neglected. If there is much
thirst, bits of ice may be given, or iced water;
brandy and water, or camphor may also be required,
and beef-tea should also be given liberally. Repose
for several days is of course necessary.
HEADACHE.
For frequently returning headache, the causes
should be sought out and removed. It may come
from improper diet; from passing the time (waking
or sleeping) in confined air; from undue intellectual
exertion; from having the lower extremities insufficiently clad; be the cause what it may, discover it
if possible and remove it, though self-indulgence or
vanity be made the loser.
Headache from    colds requires Acon., Hep.sulph.  Nux. From heat (as of the sun) Acon.,
Bry., Camph.; from intellectual labor, Chin., Nux,
Phos.; with vomiting, Ipec., Nux, Tart. Bell.
and Bry., given alternately, are often useful in the
nervous headaches of women. Lye. or Puls. when
arising from indigestion; Puls. or Sep. when connected with menstrual irregularities; Canth. when
connected with scanty or painful urination; Hyos.
where the urine is suppressed.




HYSTERICS.


HOOPING COUGH
Is readily recognized.  It is generally supposed that
it must and will run its course, but this is not so.
By appropriate remedies, its course can not only be
mitigated, but shortened; the Repertory and Materia
Medica give sufficient indications; the patient should
be kept in the open air as much as the weather will
permit, and should not be kept on too low diet.
Ipec. is useful where there is violent dry spasmodic cough, threatening suffocation, the face turning livid; Bell. in similar cases, where it turns red;
Mere. where there is discharge of very tenacious
mucus from the lungs; Nux   where there is violent
coughing, with vomiting of food and constipation;
or Verat., where, instead of constipation, there is
diarrhoea.
HYSTERICS.
A Doctor who understands women, never tells
one, that she has hysterics, unless he wants to get
the case off his hands. It is generally understood to
be tantamount to saying, that nothing ails her, or that
she is spleeny.  Nevertheless, the sufferings are ril,
and so is the disease. It takes on the appearance of
almost every disease to which the system is liable,
and taxes the patience of the physician, as well as
of the sufferer. The causes of this affection are various: overtaxing the brain, prolonged watching, irregular or improper diet, disorders of the sexual functions, and worms may be mentioned as some of them.
These, of course, must be discovered and removed.
In addition to the remedies recommended in the




ITCH.


59


Repertory, and those indicated by accompanying
symptoms in the Materia Medica, Camph. rhay be
mentioned. Camphor with brandy and water, laid
upon the pit of the stomach warm, frequently affords
prompt relief. It may also be given internally. Salt
and water, a teaspoonful every hour or so, benefits in
many cases; it should be taken sparingly, however,
where looseness of the bowels would be undesirable
on any account.
INFLUENZA,
If taken early, is soon cured. Put the patient to bed,
cover him up well. Give Camphor solution, a teaspoonful every five or ten minutes, till free perspiration is established; other remedies, if needed, will be
indicated in the Repertory; Ars. is useful, if the discharge is thin and watery, and there is great prostration; Merc. where it is thick and yellow. Nux
and Hep. sulph. may be given alternately where
there is much pain over the eyes, deep, hollow
cough and constipation.
ITCH.
All is not itch which itches. The itch is a
vesicular eruption produced by the presence of the
acarus scabiei, or itch mite; the insect is not found
in the vesicle, but a short distance from it; a faint
red line marks the course of the canal which he
has burrowed, from the vesicle, to his place of residence. The eruption is found chiefly between the
fingers, about the joints, and in the bends of the
elbows; seldom, if ever, on the face; the itching is




6o


JAUNDICE.


much more intense after getting warm in bed. Sulph.
should be given internally once or twice a day, and
the parts infected washed with a solution of Ledum,
or smeared  with lard.   If lard alone does not
answer, use lard and sulphur-as much of the flowers
of sulphur as a ten cent piece will hold, to a tea-cup
full of lard; this may be applied to the parts affected,
and well rubbed in. Ars. and Merc. may also be
required. If the eruption presents a pustular appearance, Sulph. and Lyc. are the remedies, the latter at
night, and the former in the morning.
JAUNDICE
Is a disease readily recognized by the yellowness of
the skin and whites of the eyes; the bowels are
often constipated, the stools almost white, while the
urine is red; the perspiration stains the linen yellow;
the skin sometimes is the seat of a terrible burning
itching. The wet pack is often of use. The milder
forms are not attended with danger, but sometimes a
high fever accompanies the disease, and the brain
may become affected. Hence, care should be taken,
even in the milder forms, to avoid being chilled, or
committing any errors of diet; the food should be
vegetable entirely. Chin. and Merc. may be given
alternately; a few doses of Hep.-sulph. may be
interposed, if these do not act promptly.  Lach. is
recommended for obstinate cases. Also Ars., especially where there is much itching of the skin. Bry.
also sometimes relieves this.  Where too much
calomel has been taken, Bell. and Hep.-sulph. alternately should be given; if too much quinine, Ars. is
the remedy.




LEUCORRHCEA.


KIDNEYS, INFLAMMATION OF.
In this affection there is more or less pain in the
region of the kidneys-not always as severe as the
inflammation would warrant one to expect-the pain
shoots down towards the bladder; urination is difficult and painful, the urine being hot and scanty,
sometimes bloody; fever is present with great thirst,
and vomiting; also colic pains; there is, moreover,
more or less numbness, extending down the limb of
the side affected to the knee. It is sometimes produced by the application of blisters; where this is
the case, Camph. is the remedy; if produced by
checking of perspiration, nothing is better than
Camph., though Acon., Canth., Tart. and Turpentine may be considered; this latter may be used in
case of painful, but almost ineffectual urging to
urinate, the discharge being bloody; from one to six
drops may be put upon a little sugar and dissolved
in four teaspoonfuls of water, a teaspoonful given
every twenty or thirty minutes, according to the
severity of the symptoms. Where this disease is
consequent upon   blows, or straining exertions,
Arnica may first be given, though Turpentine will
here come into play, if there is blood in the urine.
LEUCORRHCEA.
A very common, but probably not a very necessary
complaint; a due regard to the laws of health, which
it is impossible even to glance at here, would prevent
this disease to a great extent. Undue indulgence of
the appetites and passions, over-exertion of mind
or body, a languid, listless, frivolous life are frequent
causes. Add t:o this, the presence of pin worms,




62


LIVER, INFLAMMATION OF.


which frequently leave the rectum for the vagina,
and the want of cleanliness, and there is a catalogue
of causes sufficient to account for the vast majority
of the cases of this disease.  No treatment can be
given, further than what may be gathered from the
other parts of the work. A word of caution, however, may be proper. This is a trouble, which, on
many accounts, is peculiarly annoying, and women
are ready to suffer anything, if there is a prospect of
cure.  But before delivering   yourselves into the
hands of those who would invade the parts affected
with fire and sword, and thus render incurable, what
in many cases hardly needs to be cured, consider the
many possible causes, and avoid them. Use, then,
the remedies recommended in the Repertory and
Materia Medica. Injections are of great use, and
also sitz baths; neither should be warm, nor yet cold
enough to chill.  Of injections, there is an endless
variety. Salt water will answer most purposes. Of
syringes, too, there is no end, yet I never saw but one
kind which was of much use, and that is for sale by
C. S. Halsey, in this city.*
LIVER, INFLAMMATION OF.
The habitual use of alcoholic drinks predisposes
to this affection; it is most prevalent in hot climates,
and may be induced by taking cold. There is pain
in the right side, with fever and vomiting; where the
upper or convex surface is inflamed, the patient cannot lie upon the right side; the pain is increased by
drawing a long breath, and there is more or less
* I do not hesitate to say this, because, in the first place, it is true, and in
the second, I have no conceivable interest in its sale-direct or indirect.  It
is called the Patent Combination Vaginal Syringe.




LOCK-JAW, OR TETANUS.


63


cough; where the lower portion of the liver is affected,
the patient cannot lie on the left side, and the skin
is yellow. Acon., Bell., Bry., and Merc. are the
principal remedies.  A  wet bandage around the
abdomen affords relief. No animal food must be
allowed; fruits, vegetables and farinaceous articles
must constitute the diet.
LOCK-JAW, OR TETANUS.
Lock-jaw is, strictly speaking, a rigidity of the
muscles of the jaws, 'by reason of which the mouth
cannot be opened. Tetanus is the proper generic
term for this disease, whether affecting the muscles
of the jaws, or any other muscles of the body; the
distinctive symptom is intense rigidity of various
systems of muscles. The chief causes are wounds,
especially punctured wounds, and of tendinous parts,
as the palm of the hand or sole of the foot. It may
also be produced by general debility or prostration
of the nervous system, and lastly by several remedies,
prominent among which, is Strychnine or Nux
Vomica.
Preliminary to the medical must be the surgical
or mechanical treatment. If the disease occurs in
consequence of a wound, remove whatever may be
in the wound; if it has healed up, open it, as a
needle or sliver may be within; then apply a poultice to encourage suppuration.  Nux is the chief
remedy where the patient is conscious. Bell. or Op.
where he is not.  Further medical treatment may
be gathered from the other parts of the work.  Dr.
Isaac Colby, of Salem, Mass., gives a remarkable case
treated by cold water only; it may be found in Dr.
Pulte's Domestic Physician, p. 70.   He poured
cold, almost freezing water, on his patient from a




64


I UNGS, INFLAMMATION OF.


pitcher, at the rate of a pailful every five minutes,
for half an hour. In twenty minutes the patient
began to be very cold and the spasms gave way. At
the end of the half hour, he was rubbed dry with a
towel, wrapped in blankets, put to bed with a great
amount of covering, and allowed to remain there two
or three hours, till reaction and free perspiration took
place. He was then sponged all over with cold
water to carry off the superfluous heat; following
this, there was soreness of the muscles, and violent
headache; he could not endure noise or motion for
several days, and could not be raised from his bed
for several weeks, but finally recovered.
LUNGS, INFLAMMATION OF.
This is a frequent disease in northern latitudes;
the most frequent cause is exposure to cold winds.
It generally begins with a chill; then there is pain
in the chest, difficulty of breathing, fever, cough, at
first dry, afterwards moist, with expectoration, which,
as the disease advances, assumes a hue like rust or
prune juice; this expectoration is distinctive of this
disease;,the patient generally lies upon his back; the
skin is hot and dry, and the pulse quick. Acon. and
Bry., or Bry. and Phos. will suffice for most cases;
where there is much oppression of the breathing,
Tart. may be considered; the application of cloths
wrung out of cold water, affords much relief; they
must be well covered up; some apply warm poultices
of bran over the whole chest. The diet should be
light at first, but care must be taken to keep up the
strength; stimulants even may be necessary in some
cases.




LYING IN.


65


Typhoid symptoms may sometimes supervene,
but Bry., Phos. or Rhus. will usually suffice; the
Repertory will indicate the remedy for particular
symptoms; here special care must be taken to spare
and keep up the strength.
LYING IN.
It may chance that a woman is confined where
she has neither Doctor nor nurse; it it is her first
experience, a few hints may be of service. We
must suppose the child to be born, or the few hints
would end in a volume. If the child is not breathing well, do not be in too great a hurry to cut the
cord; if it is, apply a stout silk or linen ligature,
three fingers breadth from the body; be careful it is
tightly drawn, else fatal hamorrhage will ensue; but
one ligature is needed.  As soon as the child is born,
some one must be detailed, to make gentle pressure
on the womb, the upper part of it; this should be
kept up till the after-birth comes away. Generally
in half an hour or so after the child is born, a pain
ensues, and the after-birth is expelled. As soon as
it can be reached, it should be turned several times
on its axis, as this ensures a more complete and
entire delivery of all the membranes. Sometimes,
though the after-birth prefers to stay where it is,
and the old ladies will assure you, it is grown fast:
that does not follow.  Let your attendant dip her
hand in cold water and apply it over the region of
the womb; this may excite contraction; or let her
introduce a finger into the vagina and make firm, but
9




66


LYING IN.


gentle pressure downwards and backwards, giving
meantime Sec. every twenty or thirty minutes;
the 6th answers many a time, but stronger would
do no harm; these means and appliances, with patience and resolution, will answer in most cases.
The after-birth removed, it is still well to keep
the hand of an attendant over the womb for a little
while, to ensure its contraction. Have a cloth wet
with Arnica or Calendula applied to the parts; put
another blanket or so on the bed; put a dry napkin
under the patient, if it can be done without moving
her too much, and let her rest; a cup of tea may be
given her, or a cracker, or bit of toast, as soon as
she wants it, provided, she is not flowing, in which
case, hot drinks are hurtful. Within two or three
hours after the birth of the child, let it be applied
to the breast. In twelve hours, sometimes less, the
soiled sheets may be slipped from under the patient,
and clean ones substituted, and be sure they are well
aired. If she does not pass water in twelve or at
farthest eighteen hours, give her Hyos. every hour
till she does. This being done, the next thing is to
secure perfect repose; to this end, request friends to
show their kindness of heart by staying away; the
more quiet the patient is kept the first three days,
the better; and if no company is allowed till after
the ninth day, nobody will lose anything, unless it is
the doctor or undertaker. As for the bowels, do
not think of them, till after the third day; they
ought not to move before that time; do not trouble
them even then, unless they feel full; in this case,
try gentle friction with the hand, moistened with a
little sweet oil; if they should not move then, give
an injection. The food should be light, till after
the third day; if the milk is well established by that




MEASLES.


67


time, a little more nourishing diet may be allowed;
nothing very hearty, however, till the bowels move.
Women should keep their beds till the ninth day,
as a general rule: smart women get up much sooner
for a time or two, and often fill an early grave in
consequence, or have good reason to wish they had.
Flooding and convulsions are treated of elsewhere.
If you want to try Puerperal Fever, let your nurse
give you three or four tablespoonfuls of castor oil,
within twelve hours after the child is born. If
this does not move the bowels, take some other purgative-almost anything will do; this will bring you
to the top of the inclined plane; now, any little
impetus, as a slight cold, or a little excitement, will
push you down. It you find you are about to die,
instruct your friends to say that it was a terrible epidemic. It will be a great consolation-to some of
them-perhaps.
MEASLES.
This is a very common disease, and not usually
attended with much danger. It is always preceded
or accompanied by symptoms of cold, as running
from the nose, watery eyes, and cough. In its earlier stage, it is not always easy l  tell Measles from
Small Pox; the catarrhal symptoms are more marked
in Measles than in Small Pox, and in this latter
affection there is more back ache than in the former;
the eruption of Small Pox feels like a shot under the
skin; all question is at an end, as soon as the eruption is well developed, for that of Small Pox contains matter, and is depressed in the center, neither
of which is the case with Measles. Acon. and Puls.
are the chief remedies; Bry. answers well, if the
eruption is slow in coming out, and may be necessary, alternately with Ipec., for the cough, which is




68


MUMPS.


often troublesome; at times a wet compress about
the throat and chest relieves this cough like a charm.
A few doses of Camph. are sometimes useful where
the eruption seems inclined to strike in, followed by
Ars., if the eruption looks pale. Where the head or
lungs suffer, the remedies will be found in the Repertory; it may be said in brief, that Bell. and Bry. are
useful for head affections; Bry. and Phos. for
inflammation of the chest; Puls. for earache; Merc.
for diarrhcea. This disease is apt to be followed by
various unpleasant consequences; if Puls. fails to
relieve, Sil. will do good service; six pills of the 6th
(or 30th, in sensitive cases) given once a day.  The
diet should be light; drafts of air should be avoided,
and sudden change of temperature; but the patient
should not be stifled, either with too much clothing,
or too hot and dry an atmosphere.
MENSTRUATION.
A very important subject, but not proper for tinkering. If women will study the laws of health and
obey them, there will be little trouble as regards this
function; when they do, practicing medicine will be
unprofitable business. Some general hints may be
found in the Repertory; but as the most of the
troubles in this connection are chronic, a physician
should be consulted.
MUMPS
Is inflammation of the gland situated each side at the
angle of the jaw extending up towards the ear;
Merc. is the remedy. Relief is obtained by keeping the face wrapped up with warm flannels. Care
must be taken not to catch cold, as it sometimes- goes
to the breasts, or the testicles. In the former case,
give Bell.; in the latter Puls.




NEURALGIA.


69


NETTLE-RASH-HIVES.
The skin looks as if it had been whipped with
nettles. In some it is occasioned by slight errors of
diet, and it is hence often accompanied with headache and derangement of the stomach; Dulc. is the
chief remedy. Puls. may be given when produced
by indigestion; Bry. or Rhus, or the two alternately,
when it occurs or is aggravated in cold, damp
weather. Ars. if attended with intense burning
itching. It is not best to apply anything externally.
NEURALGIA.
The causes, character and seat of Neuralgia are so
various, that any direction for its treatment, in such,a work as this, must be quite unsatisfactory to the
patient, who generally desires a remedy ready at
hand, and prompt in action.
Acon. may be given when cold has been taken,
and there is tingling or numbness with the pains;
Bell. for tearing, shooting pains, coming on periodically, generally worse in the afternoon. Chin.,
when produced by exhausting losses, as in nursing.
Nux., from cold or undue mental exertion. Ars.,
where the pain is burning, very violent, relieved by
external heat.
If the cause can be discovered, it must of course
be avoided, or removed, if possible, as derangment
of the stomach, over-exertion of the mind, decayed
teeth, exhaustion from  loss of fluids. For more
minute directions, consult the Repertory and Materia
Medica.




70


PILES.


PILEL
Are not likely to be mistaken for anything else;
hence it is not necessary to describe them. Medical
works give a long list of causes; but some people
have piles without the causes, and others the causes
without piles; some writers think piles are the result
of a Hcemorrhoidal Diathesis, which is a comforting
thought, but does not tell how      to cure them.
Worms no doubt are frequently a cause. As regards
the treatment, Nux   taken at night, and Sulph. in
the morning, will relieve the majority of cases.
Puls. also has been used with success, especially
during pregnancy, or just after confinement.   The
application of cold water, or even ice, affords temporary relief; so do injections of salt water, especially where worms are the cause. Those who
suffer from piles, should be moderate, at least, in the
use of tobacco, as well as coffee, which is so generally
proscribed. Operations are sometimes recommended,
but they are not unattended with danger; they do
not remove the cause which produced the piles,
which cause will very likely be operative in some
other quarter. Sometimes it is better to
"t bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of."
Hamamelis has acquired some celebrity, in curing
this painful affection, used as a cerate, a wash, or
internally. It is also of use where there is much
bleeding.




QU INSYNSY


71


PLEURISY,
Or inflammation of the sac in which the lungs are
situated. This is characterized by fever, pain in the
chest, generally confined to a small spot, and rather
more frequent in the left side; the breathing is short,
or the patient has a "catch " as he calls it, when he
attempts to take a long breath, and he cannot lie
upon the side affected; the cough is short and dry,
and not usually attended with much expectoration.
Acon. and Bry. are the remedies; the wet bandage
may also be used, as in inflammation of the lungs;
diet light.
There is another disease which is generally
noticed in this connection, called False Pleurisy, or
in other words, no Pleurisy at all. It is Rheumatism or Neuralgia of the muscles between the ribs;
there is less fever than in Pleurisy, less cough, and
the pain is not increased by moderate pressure; Arn.
is the remedy. See also the other remedies for
Rheumatism and Neuralgia.
QUINSY
Is a deep-seated inflammation of the tonsils, sufficiently well known; the tonsils are swollen, sometimes so much so as to threaten suffocation, and it is
desirable to render prompt relief.  Happily, it is
easily obtained.  If the patient is able and willing
to do as directed, administer the fumes of Camphor, as
recommended, p. z. If the patient is a child, the cup
may be passed back and forth before his face, so that
he may inhale the fumes, or spirits of Camphor may




72


SCALD HEAD.


be poured upon a hot shovel or stove. This may
be kept up till relief is obtained, and repeated again
in one, two or three hours, as occasion may require.
Mere. dulc. may be given every two hours.    If a
gargle is used, the Camphor gargle is as good as any.
RHEUMATISM.
Little need be said upon this disease beyond what
may be gathered from the Repertory and Materia
Medica. Acon. is appropriate in the earlier stage.
Bry., Mere., and Tart. perhaps will cover the
majority of cases. The disease is not attended with
much danger, unless it affe&s the heart, or some of
the vital organs; where it goes to the heart, Acon.
and Bry. are the remedies; at the same time, warm
water applications may be made to the region of the
pain, or even mustard paste.
The diet should in this disease be light, but not
reducing; meat may be eaten when it can be digested.
Extreme care should be taken, when convalescing,
not to take cold, as relapses are very apt to occur.
RING-WORM.
Sepia. is the remedy for this disease; it is to be
taken internally and externally; a few of the pellets
dissolved in water will suffice for the latter. Rhus.
and Sulph. are also recommended.
SCALD HEAD.
Yellowish pustules form on the head of children,
which break and form a thick crust, which is cupshaped. It is a contagious disease, very obstinate,
and not the subject of domestic treatment. The
hair should be cut short; the crusts may be moistened daily by the application o-- a linseed meal




SCARLET FEVER.


73


poultice, as Dr. Ellis recommends, or it may be
washed with soap suds. Some recommend acetic
acid, diluted with three times its weight of waterone application is said to suffice. Dr. Pulte recommends Sep. as the prominent remedy at first; the
other remedies may be found in the Repertory; the
diet should be light.
SCARLET FEVER
Is a very common disease, and while, in its milder
forms, readily yielding to treatment, or scarcely
needing any, in its more violent forms, nothing is
more justly alarming; cases occur, happily not often,
which, from the very first symptom, bear the impress
of death. If a physician is remote, the severer
forms would terminate fatally, before any advice
could be had; and if one is to be had, after a few
hours, it is highly important that these few hours
should be well employed. I shall, therefore, attempt
to lay down explicit directions for the treatment,
hoping, that if they fail to give satisfaction in some
cases, they may prove useful in others.
As regards the causes of Scarlet Fever, little is
known about the matter, and that little sheds no
light upon the question, how these causes are to be
avoided. Where this fever is prevailing epidemically,
the best preventive is to keep the health of children
in as robust a state as possible, by proper exercise in
the open air, and due attention to the rights of the
stomach. Bell. is said by many to be a preventive,
and there certainly can be no harm in giving from
two to six pellets every morning (according to the
age of the child) for a few mornings-then intermitting for a few days.

74


SCARLET FEVER.


Scarlet Fever is divided, for convenience, into three
forms: the simple, the anginose (where the throat
is much involved), and the malignant; though it
would be difficult for one to say where one class
ended and the other began.  Nor is it essential in
praftice, to discriminate; the symptoms attending
each particular case must determine what remedies
shall be given.
The precursory symptoms of Scarlet Fever are
chilliness, nausea, often vomiting, fever, headache;
not differing materially from those of other fevers.
It is only when the eruption breaks out, that we can
say: this is Scarlet Fever; this occurs after two or
three days of precursory symptoms; it appears first
on the face, upper part of the chest and arms, which
present the appearance of a boiled lobster-shell; on
pressure being made with the finger, the skin becomes
white. With the appearance of the eruption, or
soon after, the throat becomes inflamed, and the
papilla of the tongue become prominent, projecting
through a whitish or yellowish coating; the fever is
high, the skin burning hot.  When the eruption is
fully established, the other symptoms, in mild cases,
generally subside; the eruption gradually spreads
over the whole surface; and about the fifth day,
sometimes a little later, the skin begins to peel off;
this process continues for two or three days-sometimes is repeated several times, and may last three or
four weeks.  In most cases, even slight ones, children complain much of the itching ot the skin.
The treatment of these simple cases, is itself
simple; the child should be kept comfortable,
neither too warm nor too cool; the diet should be
light; the whole body, at least where it itches,
should be smeared with lard, bacon rind or glycer



SCARLET FEVER.


75


ine, and if there is much soreness, a slice of pork
may be tied about the throat. Bell. is the remedy;
it may be given at intervals of from one to four
hours, according- to the severity of the attack. Acon.
will probably have been given from the first appearance of fever, before its character was fully developed,
after which Bell. is more appropriate. Many physicians give the two alternately. In mild cases, this
is all that is needed; great care should be taken,
during convalescence, to prevent taking cold, as this
may be followed by most serious consequences, even
when the fever has been of the mildest form.
But now suppose the eruption comes out here and
there, in patches-not so promptly and distinctly as
in the simple form; sometimes not at all, but there
is more sore throat; swallowing is difficult; the
glands under the jaw are swollen; on examining the
throat, the tonsils are found to be much swollen,
someqimes blocking up the passage, and intensely red;
this is the second form-the anginose; the inflammation of the throat progresses, the tonsils are
covered with mucus, sometimes are ulcerated; in
addition to this, there is sometimes a yellowish discharge from the nose, making the upper lip sore.
In this form, the fever is high, the pulse quick; the
brain is sometimes affe&ed, and there is great restlessness and distress; the swelling of the tonsils
makes the breathing difficult, and taking of food,
sometimes, impossible.
In treating these cases, the same aids should be
used as mentioned in speaking of the milder form.
Gargle the throat with Camphor, if the child is old
enough, if not, permit it to inhale the Camphor
vapor. Give Mere. dulc. z every two hours; alter



76


SCARLET FEVER.


nately with Bell., if there is much disturbance about
the head. If the tongue has a dark and dry appearance, Bell. and Rhus. should be given every half
hour, or hour. If there is a tendency to stupor, and
the medicines do not seem to have the desired effe&t,
give a few pellets of Op. every hour for three or
four times, then recur to the remedies previously
given. If the eruption fades out, Bry., Camph.,
Ipec., Tart., may be considered.
If these symptoms are considerably intensified, we
have malignant Scarlet Fever, but unhappily, this
form cannot be described in terms quite so simple.
Sometimes the disease comes on with convulsions, in
which the patient dies in twenty-four hours or less
-though it may be mentioned that all cases which
commence with convulsions are not thus dangerous;
sometimes the patients fall at once into a profound
sleep; at others, into a collapse; diarrhcea carries off
some in a short time, while in other cases, the Scarlet
Fever runs into a Typhoid. To give direction for
the treatment of all these different conditions, and
there are yet others, would be of course impossible.
An intimate acquaintance with the Materia Medica
will throw all the light upon the subject which can
be given. Where there are convulsions, however,
it may be proper to state that Ammon. Carb. I
should be used; have it freshly prepared if possible;
also in cases with typhoid complications.
In the low forms of this, as well as other diseases,
the strength must be kept-up; recourse must be had
occasionally to Camph. or Op., when prostration
seems to be threatened, and wine-whey, beef-tea,
and other nourishing articles of diet, must be employed.




SCURVY.


77


Great care should be taken against taking cold,
during convalescence, as patients are liable to many
painful and even fatal disorders, the worst of which
is Dropsy. Ars., Bry., Mere., Sulph., may be consulted in such cases, but the advice of a physician
should be had, if possible.
SCARLET RASH
May be mistaken for Scarlet Fever, but the color
of the eruption is darker, and the skin does not turn
white on pressure, as in Scarlet Fever; small elevations may be felt beneath the skin, which is rougher
than in Scarlet Fever. Acon. is the remedy; sometimes Coffea is necessary to alternate with it, where
there is much restlessness and wakefulness.
SCURVY,
Not a very common disease on land, but common
enough at sea. It arises from lack of vegetable food,
bad air, want of exercise; depression of spirits, if
not a sufficient cause' of itself, is an efficient aid of
other causes. The symptoms are: swelling of the
gums, which become spongy, and bleed easily, offensive breath, swelling of the lower limbs, old sores
break out anew, fractures of the bones, once healed,
become disunited, bleeding from various organs. A
change of diet is indispensable in the treatment;
fresh vegetables and vegetable acids are needed.
The main remedies are Ars. and Mere.




78


SMALL POX.


SEA SICKNESS,
Said to be a distressing complaint by those who have
tried it, but readily amenable to Homceopathic treatment. Ars., Ipec., Nux and Puls. are the chief
remedies. Those liable to this affection, should
avoid anything likely to derange the stomach, for a
day or two before setting sail, and indeed at all
other times.
SHINGLES
Is an eruption of vesicles, or little blisters, situated
upon the trunk extending half way around or more;
there is a popular notion, that if it extends all the
way around, the patient dies; much apprehension
on that ground is needless. This eruption is attended
with some burning or smarting; it appears sometimes
in successive crops of vesicles. Rhus. or Ars. is the
remedy.
SMALL POX
Is easier prevented than cured, though most cases
yield readily to appropriate treatment. How long
vaccination furnishes immunity against this disease
is unknown, therefore it is well to be vaccinated
now and then, especially after being exposed.
The precursory symptoms-which occur fourteen
days after exposure-sometimes sooner-are chilliness,
lassitude, severe pain in the back, with aching of the
limbs, and general soreness; this state of things continues two or three days-not equally marked, however, in all cases; then the fever sets in, with violent




SMALL POX.


79


headache and sometimes delirium; great prostration,
increased pain in the back; vomiting may be present,
or diarrhoea, but are not always. Soon after the
fever, the eruption makes its appearance; little red
elevations; at first, on the forehead and face; then on
the neck and arms, and so on, till it extends over
the whole body, which process generally lasts about
three or four days.
This being done, we enter upon the second stage.
The little red elevations become, in the course of a
day or two, vesicles, containing a little watery fluid,
which in the course of two or three days more,
become pustules, i. e.: containing matter; they are
roundish, flattened on the top with a pit in the
center. About the eighth or ninth day (and this is the
third stage) the pustules burst and begin to dry up,
first on the face, then on the chest and arms, and so
down. Where the pocks do not run together, the
fever generally abates before this time, but where
they run together, it does not always; but if it does,
it returns on the eleventh day. This is called the
secondary fever; where it is attended with much
restlessness at night, it is a dangerous symptom. On
the fourteenth or fifteenth day the crusts begin to
fall from the face.
During the febrile stage, Acon. is the remedy; but
Bell. will be needed if delirium be present, as it
often is; in the second stage, while the pocks are
developing, Tart. will be all that is needed, in most
cases. Indeed, if the fever be gone, and there are
no unpleasant symptoms present, medicine is not
indispensable. In the last stage, if there is much
secondary fever, with restlessness at night, Merc
will be requisite.




80


ST. VITUS' DANCE.


SORE THROAT.
For simple redness of the back part of the throat,
Bell. will generally suffice, especially if there is
much dryness of the throat, swelling of the glands,
difficulty of swallowing, heat and pain in the head,
with cold hands and feet. If this does not afford
prompt relief, give Merc. alternately with it, or
Merc. dulc. See also Diphtheria, Quinsy and
Scarlet Fever.
ST. VITUS' DANCE
Is an unpleasant nervous affection, though not dangerous; it attacks children mostly, and girls in preference, between ten and fifteen years of age. Irregular movements of the muscles are the chief characteristic; the patient loses control, to a certain
extent, of the muscles, which is painfully apparent
when he attempts to move them; thus, in bringing
the spoon to the mouth, the hand trembles, and the
child has much trouble to find his mouth; so in
walking, or other movements; consciousness is always
present. In severe cases, the intellect is generally
dulled, and the child's manner is almost idiotic. In
one case, at least, which I have seen, there were
severe pains in the bowels, occuring at intervals
during the night; very marked imbecility was present. Merc. 3 cured it promptly in a few days. I
am inclined to think it is sometimes produced by
worms. Besides the remedies elsewhere noted, the
child should be put upon an invigorating regimen;
any derangement of the stomach or bowels should




URINATION.


be removed; nourishing food should then be given;
thorough friction of the skin, with cold sponge
bathing, out-door exercise, if the child can bear itif not, exposure to sun-light; in fine, everything
which tends to invigorate the system. Of course all
known or even supposed causes should be removed.
SUN STROKE.
See Brain, Inflammation of, p. 23.
THRUSH
Is characerized by a deposit upon a child's mouth,
which looks as if bits of curd were lying here
and there. It is noticed in children of delicate
health most frequently; the bowels will be found
relaxed, and the passages green, and very sour, sometimes making the parts about the anus sore. It indicates insufficient nutrition; in the first place, therefore, this must be regulated; some hints for which
may be found under the head of Atrophy, p. 19.
The local affection is of no great moment; the
mouth, however, should be wiped out every time
after nursing or feeding.  A solution of borax is
sometimes of use.   Mere. is the main remedy.
Cham. may also be useful.
URINATION.
For full particulars regarding the treatment of disorders of this function, reference must be made to
the Repertory; a few general hints only can be
given here. Especial attention should be given to
the manner in which this function is discharged, as
regards frequency, quantity, and color of the urine,
II




82                 VOMITING.
as well as the appearance of the sediment, as much
light will thus be obtained in the treatment of many,
if not all, diseases. One remedy, not mentioned in
the Repertory, may here be noticed, that is Turpentine. Where there is frequent, painful, urgent desire
to urinate, while but little is passed at a time and
that often, with a most agonizing effort, the urine
being, sometimes, more or less bloody, Turpentine
is a prompt and precious remedy.
The manner of preparing and giving it has been
previously detailed.
Where urination is painful, attended with great
urging and effort, or where it is scanty, or burning,
Canth. is the remedy; if suppressed, Hyos.; if too
copious, Lyc. or Merc.; if red, Bell., Mere. or Nux;
if yellow, Cham. or Chin.; if bloody, Canth., Ipec.,
or Tart.
VOMITING
Is of much or little significance, according to its
cause, the quality of the matter vomited, and the
accompanying symptoms. Vomiting of food, where
the stomach has been overloaded, affords relief; and
if it ceases, when the stomach has been relieved,
nothing more is required than rest; if, on the contrary, it continues, Ipec. may be given, or Ars. if
there is much thirst or prostration, or Verat. if with
these there is colic and diarrhcea. For vomiting of
bile, Cham., Chin., Ipec., Mere., Phos., Tart. may
be given; of mucus, Ars., Canth., Mere., Phos. In
vomiting of pregnant women, Ars., Ipec., Nux,
Puls. or Sep.




WORMS


83


WHITLOW, OR FELON.
Pain, heat and throbbing are the tokens of this
affection, which is usually noticed at the end of one of
the fingers. I have heard of many cures for it, but
have never seen but one-the knife. Silic. is recommended, also Merc. and Hep.-sulph., and external
applications without end. The trouble is, there is
not always time to wait. The matter, lying between
the bone and the unyielding membrane which
invests it, travels up the finger into the hand, and so
onward, and there is danger of losing the finger or
even the hand; therefore, have it opened early; then
apply a poultice, and take Silic. if you must take
something.
WORMS.
He who could tell Domestic Physicians-or any
other in fact-just how to know when and where
worms are present, and how to make them absent,
would be a public benefaftor, and deserve to have
his name written with Jenner's, the discoverer of vaccination. I do not think such a man exists; if he
does, he keeps his knowledge to himself. The subject is involved in great perplexity. Some dotors
will say that there are no worms; they might as well
say, there are no doctors; others will tell you, that
they do no harm; this they cannot prove. It is no
doubt well to get rid of them. The question is, how
to do it? for troublesome, as they confessedly are,
they are not so bad as the thousand and one nostrums, which are sold as " Dead Shots," and which
quite as often prove dead shots to the landlords as to




84                  -WORMS.
the tenants. Beyond what can be gathered from
the other parts of the work, I can only say, if your
children are suspeaed of worms (and the suspicion
is reasonable regarding every child of Adam), do not
feed them entirely on farinaceous food, but give them
meat; not pork, or anything cooked with lard, as
pies, fried cakes, etc., but beef, mutton, chicken, etc.,
cooked any way but fried; a proper quantity of pepper and salt will do no harm, nor vinegar; regular
meals, light suppers. Give them plenty of out-door
exercise, but do not crowd them in their studies.
Live children, who are not over-smart, are better
than dead prodigies. This caution may not seem
called for, but the truth is, that worms are fond of
precocious children.




DROWNING.


85


ACCIDENTS.
I. BURNS.
Where the burn or scald is very extensive, open
the blisters and cover the parts burned, with cloths,
wet with a solution of the tincture of Urtica urens,
one part to twenty of water. This is not always at
hand; Castile Soap is more generally accessible;
work it up into a lather, and spread it upon cloths;
soft soap answers a very good purpose, or butter
even; with any of these, use cloth enough, or cotton
batting, to exclude the air from the wound.
Where steam has been inhaled, a solution of
castile soap in alcohol is the best remedy; two or
three drops may be put into a tea-cup of water, of
which a teaspoonful may be given every ten or
fifteen minutes.
A slight burn, as on the finger, is most readily
cured by holding it near the fire, or in some warm
water. It requires a little fortitude, though the
heat need not be sufficient to give much pain. In a
few minutes the cure is complete.
2. DROWNING.
It is uncertain how long a person may remain
under water, and yet be revived; a case is on record,
where life was restored after forty-five minutes' submersion; so the story goes. I do not vouch for it.
Nevertheless, trying to restore life, even after this
period; is to be recommended; it will do no harm
in any case, and if the effort succeeds, the l.bor will
be well rewarded.




86


FREEZING.


As soon as a person is taken from the water, lay
him on his face, his forehead resting on one of his
arms; his feet a little higher than his head; throw
some dry clothing over him, but do not stop to
remove the wet; then let an assistant stand at each
side, with a hand on the hip and shoulder, and 'roll
him from side to side alternately, about three times
a minute; continue this perseveringly for half an
hour at least-in one case it was eight hours before
respiration was fully established. When respiration
is fully re-established, take the patient to his residence, remove his wet clothes, and keep up the
warmth by artificial means, if necessary. His food
at first should be simple. When re-a&ion ensues,
there is sometimes headache or fever; Acon. will
generally suffice.
3. FREEZING,
When a person is frozen so as to become insensible, bring him into a cold room, remove his clothing; the indication now is to have the temperature
restored to the inner parts first, and to this end,
cover the patient with snow, all but his mouth and
nostrils, or put him into a cold bath, and keep him
there, till re-aftion commences; then put him in a
cold room.
Where a part is frozen, as a hand or foot, the
treatment must be condu&ed on the same principle,
to keep the external heat from the outer parts, till
the inner are thawed.  In either of these cases, the
heat of a stove or fire must be avoided for some time
after recovery.




WOUNDS.


87


4. POISON.
Only a few hints can be given on this subject.
Camphor or Coffea will antidote most vegetable
poisons, but it is always better to empty the stomach
if possible; large draughts of warm water may be
given for this purpose, or the throat may be tickled
with a feather, or a finger thrust down. If Opium
or Laudanum be the poison taken, in addition to
producing vomiting, which must be done early, to
be of any use, the patient must take strong coffee,
and be walked up and down, till the drowsiness
wears off.
If mineral poisons are taken, give the white of an
egg; if mineral acids, as nitric, muriatic, or sulphuric, give magnesia or chalk, mixed with water.
The ends of matches are swallowed sometimes by
children, for the sake of passing away time, and it is
pretty sure to do it, unless properly and promptly
attended to; do not give oil or anything greasy, for
this dissolves the Phosphorus and makes it more
injurious; but magnesia or soda, or even the lime off
the wall, with abundance of water. Corrosive Sublimate, which is used to poison bugs, is sometimes left
in the reach of children; whites of eggs is the proper
antidote; for potash or any strong alkali, give milk
or sweet oil. For Arsenic, give milk, whites of eggs,
iron rust.
5. WOUNDS.
Contused wounds need Arnica in solution. Lacerated wounds, Calendula. Punc1ured wounds, Ledum. Where there is much bleeding, keep the part
elevated, unless where, as in case of wounds of the
head, direct pressure can be made against a bone,




88


WOUNDS.


when a compress must be firmly applied. If the
wound is in the hand, for instance, hold the hand up,
and if the bleeding is very profuse, put a pad, as a
pair of stockings, in the bend of the elbow, bring the
forearm up towards the arm, and confine it there, or
put a larger pad in the arm pit, press it well up, and
confine the arm close to the side, which will check
the flow of blood in a measure. Where the blood
spirts out in jerks, an artery has been wounded, and a
surgeon should be had if possible.
When bitten by a poisonous snake, drink plenty
of whisky, but stop when you get well, for the
whisky is the product of a worm worse than the
snake. For the sting of insefts, Led. is the remedy,
or spirits of hartshorn, diluted.
When bitten by a dog, keep your temper-all
dogs who bite are not mad; all mad dogs who bite
do not give Hydrophobia; do not cut out the part
bitten and fill the wound with caustic, as a surgeon
did once, on himself, which makes it more remarkable, and then found out that the dog was not mad
after all. He had a sore leg for four months, but
declared he would do it again, under similar circumstances; so little do we learn from experience!
If the dog is not mad, it is not necessary to cut
out the part bitten; if he is mad, it is of no usethe poison is taken up too quickly. Bell., Lach.,
Hyos., Canth., are the remedies where the symptoms appear. The two first mentioned, alternately
given, have cured cases of this disease.




EXTERNAL REMEDIES.


89


EXTERNAL REMEDIES.
Experience teaches that some remedies may be
used with advantage externally. Thus, where the
disease is local, as in a bruise or burn, we may bring
our remedy in close contac with the disease to be
cured, by its external application.  In this case, it
is usual to employ the remedy, either of its full
strength, or but slightly diluted, while advantage is
often gained by using the same remedy internally, in
an attenuated form. Some of the most important of
these remedies are as follows:
ARNICA TINCTURE, which should be considerably
diluted, as it increases the swelling where it is used
too strong. This is a sovereign remedy in bruises
or contused wounds, and should be applied as quickly
as possible after the injury is received. It is also
serviceable in the form of adhesive plasters, strengthening plasters, and corn plasters. Where there are
tumors, or swellings of any kind under the skin,
which produce much pain by extending the skin,
Arnica is of great benefit. In such case, the Arnicated Oil would be the proper form.
CALENDULA is to be preferred to Arnica, where
the skin is cut or torn. The tin&ure may be used
diluted, one part to twenty. The wound may be
well washed with this solution, and the bandages
about the wound may be kept wet with it. Calendula is also used, combined with Glycerine, for chap12

EXTERNAL REMEDIES.


ped or blistered hands, and chapped lips. A very
neat preparation of this kind is sold under the name
of Calendula Jelly.    The Calendula Adhesive
Plaster or " Court" Plaster is superseding the Arnica
Plaster for dressing cuts, scratches and slight abrasion of the cuticle; also in minor surgical operations.
RUTA is preferable where the ligaments or tendons
are strained; for this purpose,
RHus, also, is recommended, but it should be
used with care, since some persons are so easily
poisoned by it, that the remedy might be worse than
the disease.
ASPARAGUS is a desirable remedy for the pain in
joints which have been dislocated. The tincture
may be used, or the parts injured may be bathed in
water in which the Asparagus has been boiled. In
strains or sprains it may contend for the palm with
Rhus. or Ruta.
SYMPHYTUM is to be employed where bones are
broken. It relieves the pain, and is said to facilitate
re-union.
For burns, URTICA URENS has acquired an excellent reputation. It may be used in a reduced form,
with water, or as a cerate.  Cantharis is also recommended for the same purpose.
LYCOPERSICUM is a capital remedy for carbuncles,
boils, or any sore containing matter. It is better
known as the Tomato. When the fresh Tomato
can be procured, it may be laid upon the sore and
secured by a light bandage. Where the fresh fruit
cannot be obtained, the tint6ure answers very well
or the cerate. It is prepared in a suitable form for
a poultice, which is highly recommended, by our
best physicians, for all suppurating (or festering)




EXTERNAL REMEDIES.               91
sores, and has been used with great advantage in the
treatment of broken breasts.
HAMAMELIS is the remedy for diseases where the
veins are implicated, as in milk-leg or white swelling, as it is sometimes called. In piles it has proved
itself very efficacious in form of a cerate. In Haemorrhages it has also been highly recommended. The
tin&ure may be used undiluted.

CASTILLON                 POWDERS,
AN ARTICLE OF DIET
For Weakly Infants.
THE COMPOSITION OF THE CASTILLON
POWDERS is well known to Physicians and
Pharmaceutists. Though it is simply a combination
of mucilaginous and starchy substances, with a small
proportion of carbonate of lime of a peculiar preparation, yet, when combined with pure milk (according
to the directions for use), the resulting substance is
found to possess such nutritive and medical virtues as
to make the Powder an indispensable necessity in the
treatment of many cases of diseased conditions of the
stomach and bowels of weakly infants. There are
numerous instances on record, where children who,
from difficult teething, or other causes, constitutional
or hereditary, were pining away, as the result of distaste for food, or from inability to retain and digest
any of that given them, have yet taken with avidity
the food prepared from these Powders, and thrived
upon it, the disease of the bowels quickly disappearing
without other medical treatment.
This prepared food is also an invaluable aid in weaning children from the breast, and is highly recommended in the ordinary SUMMER COMPLAINTS of
children, as well as in many cases of DIARRH(EA of
adults.
THE CASTILLON POWDERS ARE PUT UP IN NEAT BOXES
OF ONE DOZEN EACH.
j    PRICE, FIFTY      CENTS PER BOX.They can be obtained from Homeopathic Physicians and
respectable Druggists, or will be sent FREE by mail by
C. S. HALSEY,
147 Clark St., Chicago.
