PREFACE.

This book has been written in the hope of meeting
what the Author believes is a generally felt want.
There is no study in the medical curriculum which
intelligent students find so wearisome and disgusting
as the study of Materia Medica. The long categories of
pompous^sounding names, embodying exploded theories^
are felt to be ridiculous; but yet they have to be
learned, by any derice of mnemonics which the in-
genuity of students can invent. The efEect of this
enforced drudgery has been to produce in the minds of
those subjected to it a profound distrust in the powers
of drugs as taught in the schools, if not an entire
scepticism as to their usefulness in disease at all. But
the human mind can never be satisfied with scepticism ;
hence in the general break-up of the old medical
faith there is an uneasy craving for something to take
its place. What that something is which alone can satisfy
the craving is indicated by the great popularity of such
books as Binger's "Handbook of Therapeutics." It
is no secret to what that popularity is due : it is due to
the fact that the book contains something new and
better than the old orthodox works on Materia Medica ;
and that new and better thing is not the discovery of
Dr. RiNOEB — ^it is the Specific Medicine of Hahnemann.
This is The New Therapeutics.

VI PREFACE.

When I first came to see that the power of corrosive
sublimate to cause and to cure dysentery^ and the
power of ipecachanha to cause and cure vomiting, of
arsenic to cause and cure various diseases of the skin,
and of bromide oj potassium to cause and to cure acne,
not to mention other well-known examples, were no
mere curiosities of therapeutics, but the expression of
a general law, I soon found it was much more satis-
fiictory to study the bearings of the law in the works
of its discqverer, Hahnemann, and of those who,
like Hughes, frankly acknowledged its existence and
its discoverer, than to rely on such second- or third-
hand sources as Ringer's ** Handbook."

But a difficulty arose : I wished to practise the new
fly stem at once ; and works so crowded with facts as
those of Hahnemann and Hughes are not to be mas-
tered in a week or a year. I had accepted a subordinate
post at a homoeopathic dispensary, and I wanted a book
where I could, under the guidance of one experienced
in the new method, at once find the medicine likeliest
to suit any case I might have to treat, and the dose
most likely to prove effective, leaving me opportunity
to study my cases in the larger books afterwards at
my leisure. Books were put into my hand — notably
Ruddock's " Clinical Directory " — in which, under the
names of the various diseases, the names of the most ap-
propriate medicines, with hints for their selection, were
given. These were undoubtedly of great use ; but I
did not find them just what I wanted. The hints were
insufficient ; and often there was a list of names of medi-
cines without any indication which of them to choose.

Admitting fully the obligations I am under to the
authors of these works, I have endeavoured to supply

PREFACE. Vll

what I then felt and still feel is a want ih them. With
every medicine named in The Pkescriber will be
found the symptom or symptoms which indicate the
choice of it in preference to others named under the
same heading ; and where no symptom-indications for
choice can be given, I have numbered the medicines in
the order of their importance.

In addition to students and younger practitioners,
this volume may, I think, be found useful by those
whose position compels them to be doctors to a certain
extent, such as colonists who live far away from medi-
cal aid, travellers and those at sea without a doctor,
and clergymen and others, who, like Sidney Smith, are
obliged to be amateur practitioners. For these the book
will in no way take the place of the various excellent
manuals of domestic medicine, as it does not profess to
give help in diagnosis. But when they have made out
the condition they have to treat, a reference to The
pRESCRiBER will show at once the medicine, dose, and
frequency of repetition of dose, most likely to be of
service.

And there is yet another class by whom I trust
The Prescriber will be found useful — my fellow-prac-
titioners. The recommendations of dose and frequency
are, of course, not for them ; but I think they will
find epitomized under the various headings the teaching
of the best experience of the present day as to the
treatment of disease — an epitome which may serve to
refresh memories overburdened as ours generally are.

But by whomsoever used, I wish it to be distinctly
understood that the book in no way professes to be final,
or to take the place of any other. It is a book for the
prescriber*s desk, not for the study. It is dogmatic, as

« • •

Mil FREFACE.

all books of the kind, to be useful, must be. It dis-
cusses nothing^ but takes for granted that readers will
refer at their leisure to works like Hahnemann's
" Materia Medica Pura " and Hughes' " Pharmaco-
dynamics" and "Therapeutics" — works to which I
must here acknowledge my infinite indebtedness—
for a full account of the actions of drugs whose use
I recommend.

To my friend Dr. Byres Moir I am greatly indebted
for his kindness in helping me to prepare those portions
of this work relating to diseases of the eyes.

In conclusion, I wish to say, that whilst I have not
scrupled to avail myself of the works of others, I have
set down nothing that I have not fully weighed in my
own mind, and in great measure tested in my own
experience. I am not insensible of the many imper-
fections that must necessarily attach to a work of this
kind ; at the same time, I think it is calculated to meet
the want I have indicated above, and I am not without
hopes that it will prove useful in no small degree to all
who wish to learn and practise The New Therapeutics.

INTRODUCTION.

PLAN OF THE WORK.

The plan of the work is simple. The names of the
diseases are given in alphabetical order; and where a
disease has more names than one, each name is given
with reference to the one nnder which the treatment is
prescribed. This will generally be found to be the name
b J which it is most commonly known. Under each head-
ing the names of the medicine or medicines most useful
in the particular disease are given. When more medicines
than one are named, there will be found prefixed to each
the symptoms which would lead the prescriber to choose
that in preference to the rest. Where no such differen-
tiating symptoms can be given, the medicines are Aamed
in the order of their general applicability, and numbered ;
it is intended that the prescriber shaU use them in that
order.

Where a number of symptoms are given as belonging
to one medicine, these will be found separated either by
commas or semicolons. All those only separated by
commas belong to a single group, and these must all be
present in order to indicate the medicine. For example :
under Soiatioa will be found, "Fains made worse by
sitting, relieved somewhat by walking, entirely by lying
down. Am, mur, : " this means that Ammonium muria-
iicum is indicated when the pain of sciatica is marked by all

B

2 INTRODUCTION.

these characters. If in any case the pain were noted as
being *^ relieved somewhat by walking," without the other
two, the medicine would not be appropriate. Again,
under the same heading we have : ** Purely neuralgic ;
accompanying paralysis ; in old and debilitated subjects,
Are,'' : this means that Arsenic is likely to benefit all cases
that are of a purely neuralgic kind, as opposed to inflam-
matory or rheumatic ; also sciatica in patients suffering
from paralysis ; also sciatica in old and debilitated patients.
Each characteristic is sufficient in itself to indicate the
medicine, and this the semicolons are intended to show :
should two of the characteristics, or all these, be found
in the same patient, the medicine would be still more
strongly indicated. But it must be understood that all
the medicines given under any heading have a distinct
specific relation to the part or the affection under con-
sideration; and whilst I have sought to give the distin-
guishing traits of each drug, that the best medicine may
be chosen first, still all the medicines are more or less
homoeopathic, and if one fails, the one which seems next
in appropriateness should be tried.

Under certain headings, as Tongue, Taste, Smell, &c.,
I have given some characteristic conditions, which, how-
ever, do not in themselves constitute disease. They
occur as symptoms in various diseases, and as the result
of the action of certain drugs, and are often useful in deter-
mining the choice of a medicine, if that medicine is in
relation to the disease as a whole. For example, if a
prescriber is in doubt which of two medicines to g^ve in
a ease of dyspepsia, a reference to the heading Tongue
may show which of these medicines is capable of pro-
ducing a condition of tongue most like that present, and
determine the choice.

INTROBUCTIOXtf

EULES AND EXPLANATIONS.

li is taken for granted that the reader possesses at
least an elementary acquaintance witk homoeopathic
pharmacy. It will be si:dBicient to state here that the
Biffas if> and $ following the name of a medicine stand for
the strongest preparation of the drag, and the numbers 1,2,
3, &c,, or 1 X , 2 X , 3 X , &c., for the different attenuations.
The figures 1 , 2, 3, &c., refer to the centesimal attenuations ;
the proportion being in " 1/' one part of the strongest
preparation of the substance to 99 of the attenuating
medium, and in " 2," one part of ''' 1 " to 99 parts of the
attenuating medium, and so on. The figures 1 x , 2 x , &o,»
refer to the decimal scale of attenuation ; " I x " meaning
one part of the strongest preparation to 9 parts of the
attenuating medium, 2 x one part of 1 x to 9 parts of
the attenuating medium, and so on.

1. The Attenuation, — ^After the name of each medicine
there will be found the number of the attenuation recom-
mended. When several attenuations are believed to be
equally efficacious, the numbers of the lowest and the
highest are given, and a bar is placed between them. For'
example, '* Aeon. 1 — 3 " would mean Aeon, 1, 3 x , 2, and 3,
and the prescriber may select any one of these as he
thinks fit. When the choice lies between two only, the
two numbers are joined by an " or " : as " Cha/m. 1 or 6."

Tlie Dose, — ^In all cases where no mention of dose is
made, one drop of the tincture, or one pilule, is intended.
The choice between tinctures and pilules is one of con-
venience chiefiy. When tinctures are preferred, one drop
to a teaspoonf ul or dessert-spoonful of water is the proper
dose. Distilled water, or water that has been boiled, is
preferable to tap-water. When triturations are intended,
this is always indicated by the number of grains for a dose
following the number of the attenuation. For example,
'' Silic. 3, gr.iii" means three grains of the third trituration

b2

4 INTRODUCTION.

of Silica. Triturations may begiven dry on the tongue^
or dissolved in water, as preferred by the patient.

3. TJie Repetition of the Dose. — For the sake of simpli-
city and uniformity, the times of the repetition of the dose
are given in terms of hours and minutes. After the name-
of a medioine or its attenuation, '* Ih." means that the
medicine is to be given every hour ; " 2h." every two hours;.
" 6h.," every six hours, or four times a* day ; 8h.," every
eight hours, or three times a day ; " 10m.," every ten
minutes^

4. The Time of Day. — The best time for giving medicine
(when the repetition of the dose is not too frequent to
allow of choice) is from an hour to half an hour before
food. In ordering a medicine every six hours (four times
a day), the first dose may be given on rising, the second
an hour before lunch, the third an hour before dinner, and
the last at bedtime. An exception must be made in the
case of the lower attenuations of arsenic and iron. These
should be given immediately after food.

Alternation. — After the names . of two medicines, " Ih.
alt.," '' 2h. alt.'' &c., means that the medicines are to be
given every hour, or every two hours, alternately. That is
to say. Aeon. 1, Bell. 1, 2h. alt., means that if aconite is
given at twelve o'clock, belladonna is to be given at two,
aconite at four, and belladonna at six, and so on.

Sleep. — ^Except in dangerous acute cases patients should
not be awaked &om sleep to receive their medicine. "When
it is necessary to give the dose during sleep, it is often
possible to do it without arousing the patient.

EXAMPLES.

1. Aeon. 1, 4h. This may be ordered from a chemist
in this way : —

Take of Tincture of Aconite 1, two drachms. One
drop in a dessert ^spoonful of water every four hours.

INTRODUCTION. S

^The direction. " one drop in a dessert-spoonful of water "
merely indicates the proportion of the tincture to the
water and the amount for each dose. It is more con-
venient to mix enough for twenty-four hours all at once.
In this case six drops would be mixed in six dessert-
spoonfuls of water, and a dessert-8j)oonf ul of this given
every four hours.)

If pilules are intended to be given the prescription
would be as follows : —

Take of pilules of Aconite 1, two drachms.

One piliQe to be taken every four hours.
a, Silic, 3, gr. iii., China. 1 x , gtt. ii, 3h., alt.

For this the prescription would be : —

Take of trituration of Silica 3, two drachms^

Take of tincture of China. 1 x , two drachms.

Three grains of the Silica (as much as would lie on a six-
pence) to be taken every alternate three hours with two
•drops of the China, in a teaspoonful of water : (which
means that if Silica is taken at 12, China, is to be taken
at 3, silica at 6, and so on).

Or it may be prescribed in this way : —

Take of trituration of Silica 3, seventy-two grains.

IDivide into twenty-four powders.

Take of tincture of China. 1 x forty-eight drops. Dis-
tilled water, six ounces. Mix.

One of the powders to be taken every alternate three
hours with a dessert- spoonful of the liquid medicine.

for children). Let it be fastened round the waist by
straps attached to longitudinal slits cut in the ends
of the plate, which should be oval. Let the plate
rest on the front of the abdominal wall, and let it be
made slightly concave, so as to adapt itself to the
shape of the body. The plate should be worn day
and night. It may be cleaned from time to time by
rubbing with vinegar.

In addition to this, if the person to be protected is
much exposed to the disease, one drop of Cuprum

Pebliminaky Symptoms. — ^In cholera times, whenever
diarrhoea occurs, give Kubini's Tincture of Camphor,
five drops on a lump of sugar, every fifteen minutes
to every hour, according to the urgency of tho
symptoms, until the diarrhoea is completely removed.

Should an attack come on without premonitory
diarrhoea, sudden coldness and lividity seizing the
patient, give Rubini's Camphor, five drops every
ten minutes. This may be given if there is diarrhoea
at the same time, provided it is not excessive.

The patient should now be kept at rest, and as
warm as possible, hot flannels being applied to the
abdomen, and hot bottles to the feet. No solid food
whatever should be given : water may be taken ad
libitum ; and small pieces of ice may be given to suck..
Milk is the best food, if it is tolerated. Movement is to
be avoided. It is better to treat patients at their own

CHO 39

homes if at all possible, as the veiy fact of moving a
patient into hospital may make the difference between
death and recovery.

If under Camvpkor reaction does not come on, but,
on the contrary, the patient becomes worse, vomiting
and parging setting in with violent pains in the body,
give Veratrum album 1, gtt. i. 10m. If the patient
complains mnch of cramps with the vomiting and
purging, Gwprwm acet 3 x , gtt. i. 10m. If the collapse
deepens in spite of treatment, and the patient is in
danger more from general depression than the dis-
charges, Arsenicum alh, 3 x , gtt. i. every ten minutes.

sitz-bath every second night (66°-75° F.)i for five or
ten minutes, the body and limbs being kept thoroughly
warm during the time, is often of great assistance
where there is torpor of the bowels. Whenever con-
stipation is one of many symptoms of disordered
health, the medicines directed to the chief disorder
will usually remove the constipation also : Spigelia

Koumiss is a most useful article of diet in this and
subsequent stages of consumption ; and it is some-
thing more. Koumiss of mare's milk may be used in
any stage, and will often be retained when nothing
else will. If Koumiss of cow's milk is used (Jagielski),
begin with A, or full koumiss. No. 2. If there is
constipation, give No. 1 instead of No. 2 ; and lE
there is tendency to diarrhoea give No. 3. If A is
not tolerated, give B, which is less rich in the cheesy
part of milk, and more rich in milk sugar and the
mineral salts ; the numbers as indicated for A stand
good for all. When neither A nor B is tolerated,
where there is considerable hectic fever, C is most
indicated, and will often check the diarrhoea of the
last stage of the disease, iE given No. 3. Koumiss
contains carbonic and lactic acids, and a small amount
of alcohol ; and to these it owes medicinal as well as
digestive and food properties.

Diet. — It is impossible to lay down rules to suit all cases :
every individual case must be studied by itself. The
following hints may, however, serve as useful guides
to the prescriber.

In Hitalth. — So long as digestion is performed without
discomfort, and the bodily weighty strength, and
activity maintained^ the less people think about their
diet the better.

HoM(EOPATHic DiETAEY. — ^In the days when the higher
dilutions were more largely given, patients under
homoeopathic treatment were put on much more strict
dietary rules than it is now the custom to enjoin.
It is an observed fact that those who live exclusively
on vegetable diet are more readily acted on by medi-
cines than those who eat meat ; and, in a general
way, the simpler the dietary of a person is, the more
amenable he is to the action of medicines. If the
person under treatment lives plainly, and the dis-
order is not specially connected with the digestive
system, no change need be made in the dietary. If
the patient is not a simple liver, the following rules
should be enjoined :-— Avoidance of all alcoholic
drinks and tobacco; also strong tea and coffee. The
latter are better replaced by cocoa. Cocoa made from
the nibs is the best, and next come the cocoa essences,
as Gadbury's and Yan Houten's, and Cocoatina.
Strong acids and pickles, strong spices, and very salt
things and pastry, should be forbidden. There should
be an interval of at least five hours between the meals ;
and all eating and drinking between meals should be
disallowed. For the rest^ breakfast may consist of
porridge of some kind with milk ; toast, butter, and

58 DIE

bacon, eggs, or fish. Luncli : soup, fisb, a little meat,
white or red, milk-pucldiiig or stewed fruit, and ripe
fruit. Dinner: a variation of lunch, only a little
more substantial*

Inpants. — Until infants are eight months old they
should have nothing but their mothers' milk; or,
failing that and a wet-nurse, the nearest substitute,
cows' milk. As that is a little richer than women's
milk, it is necessary to dilute it with one-eighth of
water. Of course it should be warmed to blood heat
(roughly, 100° P.) before it is given, but not boiled.
The Swiss condensed milk agrees well vrith many
infants. Asses' milk and mares' milk are less rich in
solids than women's, and do not curdle. These can,
therefore, often be tolerated when cows' milk dis-
agrees. Goats' milk is more rich than cows', and is
therefore, not so suitable to the digestion of infants ;
but is often very good for thin, weakly children.

After a child is eight months old, it should be
partially weaued; and cows' milk and foods made
with milk and rusks, baked flour, or nursery
biscuits, should be added. An excellent food for
infants is made by gently simmering groats in milk.
A tablespoonf ul of groats is put into a vessel con-
taining a pint of milk ; this is then placed in a sauce-
pan, or other vessel, containing water, which is
allowed to boil. When the milk has lost a quarter of
its bulk, it should be strained, and is then ready to
be given. The groats remaining behind make an
excellent food for older children. At ten months it
should be completely weaned, and the same food
given in increasing quantity. In the second year, as
the teeth develop, solid food, such as bread-and-
butter and milk puddings, may ^ be given ; also
gravy with bread or potatoes, and later a little meat.

OoKPULENCT.— Avoid the following : — Fat of meat,

DIE 59

butter, cream, sugar, sweets, pastry, puddings,
farinaceous articles — as corn-flour, rice, sago^ pota-
toes, carrots, parsnips, beetroot, sweet ales, porter,
stout, port wine, and all sweet wines. The following
dietary is to be recommended: — ^Wheaten bread
(moderately), especially brown bread ; gluten biscuits ;
lean meat, x>oultry, game, eggs, green vegetables,
succulent fruits ; milk only sparingly.

Thinness ; and Tendency to, ob Actual Presence of.
Consumption. — ^Where it is well borne, cod-liver oil,
beginning with a teaspoonful, immediately after
meals ; fat meats, butter, cream, milk, cocoa, choco-
late, bread, potatoes, farinaceous foods, oatmeal
porridge, sweets, a preparation of suet and milk —
one quarter of a pound of mutton suet cut flue and
placed in two pints of milk, this to be placed in a
vessel of water and simmered down to one pint, the
fat being skimmed off on rising — is often liked and
well borne when cod-liver oil cannot be taken, and is
especially valuable in consumptive cases.

Fbvees.— ^Water gruel is the ideal fever diet, but in
these artificial days scarcely anybody likes it. In the
fevers of short duration, as febricula, simple scarlatina,
measles, and German measles, a liberal supply of
barley-water and plain water will often suflBce till the
fever is gone, and the stomach able to digest other
food. Where the fever is more prolonged, as in the
graver varieties of scarlatina and measles, and in
typhus aild typhoid, it is necessary to sustain the
patient's strength. Here milk is the chief stay. In
typhoid and scarlet fevers, since the milk may have
been the vehicle of contagion, it is well to have it
boiled. It is also better boiled for another reason-
it does not curdle in the stomach. Otherwise it may
be taken as the patient likes it best ; and when it is
not tolerated plain, one-sixth lime-water, or one-half

6o DIE

soda-water, will often make it acceptable. Whey,
whey koumisB (No. 2, G. Aylesbury), and mares'
koumiss, are excellent forms to give it in, if not
easily borne plain. If the patient will take half a
pint at a time, he may be allowed to go two hours
without being again fed ; if he takes less he mast be
fed oftener. Milk being the basis of diet in continued
fevers, gruel may be given in alternation ; also beef-
tea — Brand's being the best manufactured, and home-
made beef -tea being the best of all— mutton, veal, or
chicken broth, calves'-foot jelly ; water and barley-
water being given as much as the patient likes. The
danger of over-feeding fever cases must be guarded
against as well as the opposite, since it is only what
the patient digests that does him good, and not all that
he can be made to swallow. During convalescence
especial care must be had in typhoid not to allow the
patient solid food until the temperature has been for
some days normal night and morning. Sago,
tapioca, and puddings of that kind, may be first
given, then bread and butter, white fish, white meat,
until the usual diet is gradually reached.

In Dyspepsia. — Toast, stale bread, white fish, chicken,
game, stewed mutton, floury potatoes, rice; vege-
tables generally to be avoided. Of ripe fruits grapes
are the best. Peptonized foods, and the various pre-
parations of pepsine, are of tem^^orary value, but
should not be relied on for long.

Dlceb of the Stomach. — Milk in some form or other
should be the chief if not the only diet. Whey,
koumiss. (Where there is constipation, No. 3 of either
A., B. or C. ; where there is looseness of the bowels.
No. 1 ; and where they are regular. No. 2. A. koumiss
is the best where it is well borne, as it is the richest.)

Dysentsbt. — Milk, rice, eggs, white fish, and white flesh.

DIP 6i

Salted and dried meats, fruits and vegetables, should
be avoided. Koiuniss is often of service here.

DiARKHCEA IN Childeen. — Mares* or asses* niilk or
koumiss ; or whey (0) koumiss No. 3.

Gout. — ^Meat to be taken very sparingly ; wines and
malt liquors to be avoided altogether.

Bbight's Disease. — Absolute milk dietary; or a diet
which is almost entirely derived from the vegetable
kingdom.

Diabetes. — Gluten bread, green vegetables, cream,
butter, meat with fat ; tea and coffee may be taken,
and mannite used to sweeten them, if necessary.
Saccharine and starchy foods to be avoided. Sucking
ice will relieve thirst, and rinsing the mouth with
iced water will be as refreshing as a deep draught,

LiTHic Acid Duthesis. — Yegetable dietary.

Syphilis. — Alcohol to be strictly avoided.

Diplopia. See Eyesight.

Diphtheria. — True, malignant, membranous diphtheria,
Merc, cycm, 6, every hour. At the same time a wash
of Fhytol, ^ (5 drops to the ounce), with which the
throat should be swabbed out (a small sponge fixed
in a handle, sold by chemists, is the best means) every
two hours. This treatment alone will suffice for the
acute stage of the great majority of attacks. Merc,
cyan, may be alternated with the following should
the symptoms named be prominent :— CEdema of
throat, Apia 3x, every alternate half-hour. Air-
passages involved and the croup symptoms becoming
worse, Brom, 1, every alternate half-hour. (Milk
should not be given whilst bromine is being taken.)
Great prostration, the constitutional symptoms pre-
dominating much over the amount of local affection,
Loch, 6, every alternate half -hour . When prostration

62 DIS — DRO

is extreme, Ara, 3 x every tea zoinutes (leaving off
Merc, cy, in the meantime) will often restore the
patient. The greatest care must be taken not to
raise the patient from the recumbent position, as
that is often of itself sufficient to prodace fatal
syncope.

ScAKLATiNAL DiPHTHERiA. — ^Thc treatment in general is
the same as above ; if, however, there is mnch swell-
ing of the external glands, Merc, bin, 3 x , gr. i. 2h. ;
the throat being swabbed with Phytolacca gargle as
above.

Discharge from. — ^Abnormal accumulation of wax:
let the wax be softened by dropping into the ears
pure olive oil for two or three nights, and then gently
syringe with water at blood-heat. Occasional
dropping in of oil will prevent the hardening of wax
and facilitate its natural discharge when there is a
tendency to accumulation. In chronic purulent dis-
charge from the ear, whether depending on chronic
inflammation of the middle ear or due to other
causes, the following courses of treatment may be
adopted. Precise indications cannot be given, and
they are therefore arranged in the order of the pro-
bability of their general usefulness. They should be
tried for periods of not less than three weeks before
being changed, and should be continued as long as
there is improvement. The discharge should be
allowed to flow freely from the ear at night. The
local .application should be used at bedtime, and the
ear washed with plain warm water in the morning :
—(1) Borax 3, 6h. ; about six grains of finely
powdered boracic acid to be blown into the ear at
bedtime. (2) HydrasL 1, 6h. ; glycerole of Hydrastis

milk diet is of great assistance to aid the cnre. In
giving Rhus in skin diseases it is necessary to be
prepared for aggravations. Shonld the skin become
worse, the medicine should not be changed, but a
higher dilution (3 or 6) of the same medicine
employed. As local applications, bran-baths (four
pounds of bran boiled in one gallon of water, the
liquor after straining to be added to a sufScient
quantity of water to make a bath), and where the
affection is local, bran- water packs, are useful; a
solution of Borax, twenty grains to the pint ; vase-
line, when an ointment is required. Soft water
should be used for washing. When crusts form, a
linseed poultice should be applied to remove them.]

Purulent Inflammation op the Eye in New-born
Children (Ophthalmia Neonatorum). — Hygienic
Treattnent : — Immediately after birth the nurse
must wash the infant's eyes, with the greatest

J6 EYE

possible care, removing all traces of mncns. For tlds
purpose a line linen rag, dipped in clean water, may
be nsed. Beginning at the outer comer, the eyelids
are gently wiped from side to side^ until all traces of
muc|is are removed, and the eyelids remain perfectly
<}lean. Sponges must never be used. As soon as the
child's eyes are thus washed, cleaned, and dried, the
nurse is to wash her own hands most carefully in water
with which some carbolic acid, Condy's fluid, or other
disinfectant has been mixed. If in the first few days
after birth signs of inflammation appear— redness,
swelling, and sticking together of the lids — the great-
est care must be taken. If from any reason the doctor
cannot be in attendance immediately, the nurse must
herself cleanse the eyes in the following manner : —
A perfectly clean and very soft piece of linen is
moistened with tepid water ; any excess of water is
ihen squeezed out. The muco-purulent discharge
between the eyelids is wiped ofE very gently — without
scrubbing or scratching ; specud attention being
paid to the inner corner of the eyelid where the mucus
particularly accumulates. After repeatedly rinsing
the Unen in clean water, the ball of the eye is gently
raised by means of the thumb placed on the eyelid
immediately above the lashes, but without making
any undae pressure. The muco-purulent matter
which escapes is removed with the rag as often as it
appears. In the next place, the lower eyelid is drawn
down with the forefinger, and also wiped with great
care. If the eyelids stick together, they must be
moistened with water until separation takes place
without any effort. The water used in cleansing the
eyes must be perfectly pure ; no milk or soap is to be
mixed with it. Medical Treatment: — Argent nit. 3,.
2h. ; after well washing, a drop of a solution of Arg.
nit, (two grains to the ounce) to be introdaced into
the eye.

woollen material or silk next the skin. The joints
should be kept warm. A warm, dry climate, if
practicable, is to be advised. The waters and treats
ment of Aix-les-Bains or Bath may be tried. The
joints should be treated locally. They should be fo-

Teeth. — Caeies. — ^To pr&vent caries, live on simple food l
too rich, too sweet, or too exclusively animal a diet,
each tends to produce such a condition of the diges*
tion and secretions of the mouth as favours the de*
struction of the teeth. Vegetarians say that their
teeth are easily kept clean. The next most impor-
tant point is to clean the teeth thoroughly and rega*
larly. The formation of tartar on the teeth is by no
means preservative of them, as is vulgarly imagined ;
it tends simply to destroy the gum and rob the teeth
of support. When it has formed it should be taken
off by a dentist, if necessary, by the process of
scaling. It should never be allowed to ^-e-form. T^

best dentifrices are the simplest ; those, for instance,
composed of powdered Castile soap, with a little
powder of harder grain for polishing the enamel.
Such a tooth-powder is Dr. C. R. Coffin's American
Dentifrice, prepared by Darling of Manchester. The
best brush is one neither very soft nor very hard.
The first teeth of children should be most scrupu-
lously cared for. If they are allowed to decay and
come out, the jaws fail to expand properly, and the
seeds are laid of future trouble with the second set.
Besides, the first set give evidence of those depraved
conditions of constitution which by proper treatment
may be in large measure or wholly counteracted
before the second set appear. For all reasons, then^
the temporary teeth demand the careful attention of
both parents and physicians. It is quite as necessary
that carious temporary teeth should be stopped,
whenever possible, as it is that the permanent should.
The following medicinal treatment will be found
effective when combined with proper dieting and
proper cleansing : —

In Childbbn. — If the teeth are pegged, Merc, sol. 6,
8h. ; this should be given persistently for three months
at a time, omitting every fourth month, and then
resuming. In rickety children, if thin, Silic, 6,
Kreaa. 6, 4<h. alt.; in fat scrofulous children, Cdlc.
€, 6, Kreaa, 6, 4h. alt. ; in both cases to be persevered
with as above. [In all cases cod-liver oil may be
given with advantage. If possible, residence in the
country should be advised, with abundance of milk
to take, and milk foods (see under Diet, Inpanis'),
and bread and butter. A chalk country is the best.]]

WOTmA,-^Hygi&nic Treatment.'^lt often happens that
the constitution is rendered more susceptible to the
attacks of intestinal parasites, and more tolerant of
their presence, by faulty hygienic surroundings. In
all cases this should be attended to, and the drain-
age especially ; sewer gas has a strong tendency to
predispose the system. The natural history of the
parasite should be attended to as far as it is known.
Uncooked or undercooked fish and meat should be
avoided, to guard against taenia and trichinsB. The
thread-worm is always introduced into the mouth in
the shape of eggs ; the eggs hatch in the small in-
testine, and the worms lodge in the csecum; they
lay their eggs at the anus ; and their whole life is
only a fortnight. Children suffering from thread-
worms should be prevented from putting their
fingers into the mouth, as they are very apt to
scratch the irritated parts in sleep. This caution may
be necessary for older persons.

Gonstitutional Treatment. — As a return to healthy
hygienic conditions will sometimes suffice to render a
patient intolerant of intestinal parasites, and thus
bring about their expulsion, so a return to a more
healthy condition of body, when weakened by any
other cause, will often produce the same effect.

Direct Treatment. — Round Worms (Ascaria 2tem-
hricoides). — When the presence of this parasite is
made out, Scmt. 1 x , gr. iii. every morning, fasting ;
there must be no solid food given during this time.
This may be repeated three to six mornings.

Tape-worm {Tcenia eolium), — After a twelve hours*
fast, a draught of the liquid extract of male fern
(Filix mas) should be given. The best formula is Filix
niaa (liquid extract) gtt. xxx., syrup (not mucilage) '^u.,
distilled water Ji. Two hours after this an ounce of
castor-oil should be taken. If this does not succeed in
completely killing the worm, give Filix inaa ^, gtt. v.
8h. persistently for two or three months ; or, a strong
infusion of Kov^so taken in the morning, fasting, and
followed in an hour by an ounce of castor-oil.

TaB£A.D-woRMS (Oxyurides, commonly but erroneously
called Ascaridea). — [Constitutional hygienic treat-
ment, though applicable to all worm patients, is
most applicable to sufferers from thread-worms.]
All essential oils are poisonous to thread-worms.
To give temporary relief, warm injections containing
a few drops of oil of turpentine (five to the ounce of
water) will destroy and bring away all that may be

As soon as it is known that infected pork has been

taken; if it has passed into the intestines a brisk
castor-oil pnrge shonld be administered to expel what
may remain. When the fever is once established all
that remains is to support the patient's strength,
and adminster such internal remedies as correspond
to the general symptoms. In general, Ara, 3x,
