194 HOMCEOPATHIC TREATMENT. 



In a case of cancer of the stomach, which I repeatedly 

 saw in consultation with my valued friend Dr. Tuckey, 

 late of Canterbury, Nux vom. invariably came to the 

 rescue, and gave more durable relief than any of the 

 remedies previously selected. 



To moderate the derangements of digestion, and check 

 the nausea and vomiting which frequently accompany 

 such derangements, Nux vom. here again will prove a 

 trusty friend, coupled with an occasional dose of Ipecac. 

 or Kreasote. 



To correct acidity and eructation of foetid gas, ^4?-?, 

 C?<rboveg. t Acid, ac., Acnl. ??.,. /</'</. ////'/m-i/., and Pulmtilla 

 will give us material help, with a weak solution of Car- 

 bolic acid, or that innocent but effective disinfectant, 

 the Terebene. 



The functions of the bowels, when costive, are to be 

 regulated by Lycopod , Podoph. p., Lept., Nux. Vom., or 

 Sulphur ; and when too relaxed, by Ars., Phos., Ac., 

 \. Alb. or Gallic acid. 



Dropsical i-fiusions are to be subdued, if not entirely 

 vetl, by . /. *., Cimt'i. Ci^nHm, ami J)ifliln/i* t 



particularly if the heart becomes implicated, functionally, 

 or organically ; with a series of Turkish or vapour baths ; 

 and in cases of great emergency, by the ordinary surgical 

 mode of tapping. 



The general debility and wasting (Cachexia), which 

 is wont to accompany the progress of hepatic cancer 

 from its early stage to its closing scene, is best opposed 

 by means of a light, bland, nutritious diet : animal food 

 both plain and in a concentrated form ; milk and 

 cream, raw eggs, cocoa or chocolate ; oatmeal porridge, 

 to which may be added a teaspoonful of lentil powder ;
