96 TREATMENT. 



also ; all of which point to an important implication of 

 the kidneys.* 



In the treatment of the kidneys, as a complication of 

 Acute Atrophy of the Liver, we must be guided by the 

 totality of the symptoms which present themselves to 

 view. 



In the congestive stage no better remedy can be 

 selected than Terebinthince 3x. 



In the inflammatory stage Aeon., GWx., or Be/I., with 

 an occasional dose of Cmitti. or C<inn<il,is Sutiva. 



AVhen the symptoms of blood-poisoning, hmorrh 

 sickness, &c., make their appearance, such symptoms 

 should be met by their appropriate remedies. 



Ha-mnrrhages from the stomach and bowels, by ice 

 externally and internally, T< nlinth, ll ///., / , M 

 folium, or Anenicwn. 



To check vomiting : Ipcc., Nux Vom., or Krea 



To remove coma: 0^i/n/>, Bell., ////"s, or ]/<//., and, it' 

 possible, the Turkish bath. 



To remove convulsions and wild muttering delirium: 

 Crtit'i/iix or Lachesis, and more particularly the Turkish 

 bath. 



And when there are symptoms of nervous depression, 

 alternating with convulsions, Camphor or Afoschus. 



* Unrmic poisoning is a subject of grave importance to the medical 

 man, as it may occur in the course of any disease. True uraemia de- 

 pends on the arrested elimination of the poisonous material by the 

 kidneys, and its reabsorption into the circulation. There can be no 

 doubt that urea is a powerful irritant poison, and when injected into 

 the veins of animals it rapidly induces fatal convulsions, and to remove 

 such poison from the system, quickly and c/ectimlly, I know of no 

 more powerful eliminator than the Turkish or Roman bath.
