Such is: my mode of treatment in a common case ef cane ge- 
nerally I find it is all that is necessary. But if e = 
should arise, and the scalding become exceedingly ful, I make 
~use of the following diuretics, namely: a decoction of pumpkin 
seeds, in proportion of two ounces of the seeds, bruised, and boiled - 
to a quart, to be drank in the course of two days. A drachm of the 
herb favors boiled with the seeds, would be a useful addition in’ 
cases of great irritation, from its sedative power ; or, as a substitute 
for the decoction, the expressed oil of pumpkin seeds may be used, 
in quantity of from eight to twelve drops, three times a day, or oftener, — 
if required. These preparations have never failed me in relieving 
the severest scalding and inflammation almost immediately. The 
oil of pumpkin or melon seeds is, indeed, one of the most efficient 
diuretics in any case, that I ever used. 
In-lieu of the above, for relieving the heat of urine, the following 
may also be used, and ‘Bcbave!fobnd, them excellent ; ‘the herb ~~
