or the sweet spirits of nitre), to correct any disturbance of these organs, tm 

 which purpose. See ' ' Diuretics " for directions. 



4. Hemorrhage, Slight, of the Lungs, with Cough— Regu- 

 lator or Allopathic Treatment For.— I. Give fl. ex. of ergot, 15 drops 

 in a little water, putting in a little essence of wintergreen to lessen its bitter 

 taste. (The author would say, in such a case, a few drops of essence of cinna- 

 mon, which will cover the bitter taste as well as the wintergreen, is of itself 

 good for the hemorrhage.) Give the above every six hours. 



II. Between these doses also give gallic acid, 4 grs., in a little syrup of 

 lemon. This alternation brings the doses only three hours apart. A few doses 

 of each will generally aliay any slight hemorrhage. If the cough is pretty per^ 

 sistant, i. e., continuous and irritating, give laudanum, 15 drops, once in 4 or 5 

 hours, and 25 drops at bed-time, to allay the cough and help in procuring sleep. 

 Give also laxatives, if needed, to prevent costiveness. 



Remarks. — I know this treatment to have proved eminently satisfactory 

 when the hemorrhage was not very extensive. 



5. Hemorrhage, or Bleeding From Slight Cuts, etc.— Simple 

 ilemedy.— To stop the flow of blood bind the cut with cobwebs and brown 

 sugar, pressed on like lint. Wheat flour and salt, in equal parts, bound on with 

 a cloth, for man or beast; mix well, without wetting, the blood will wet them 

 enough. 



Treatment for Hemorrhage.- Boon after the above was written we 

 had the value of the cobweb treatment confirmed, by the Toledo Post, in a case 

 of a lady of that city, who had a tooth 6/ awn; hemorrhage from the cavity set 

 in and continued, in spite of all commoi remedies, from Saturday noon until 3 

 o'clock Sunday morning, when the cobweb was procured and applied and the 

 bleeding stopped by this move, leaving tier very weak. 



7. Hemorrhage from Wounds— Styptic Colloid, to Prevent 

 and Cure. — The following will instantly coagulate blood, forming a con- 

 sistent clot, under which wounds will readily heal: Collodion, 100 parts (grs.); 

 carbolic acid, 10 parts; tannic and benzoic acids, of each 5 parts; mix the 

 ingredients in the above order. 



Remarks. — If the wound is so large that a slight application does not stop 

 the hemorrhage or bleeding, wet lint with it and bind on if necessary, and leave 

 on until the healing process is accomplished. 



1. DIPHTHERIA — Successful Remedies. — My first remedy, 

 although simple and easily obtained, is from a paper presented to the French 

 Academy of Medicine by Dr. Revillout, who asserts from an experience of 18 

 years, that: 



I. Lemon juice is one of the most efficacious medicines that can be applied 

 In Diphtheria, and relates that when he was a dresser in the hospital, his own 

 life was saved by this timely application. He got a quantity of lemons and 

 gargled his throat with the juice, swallowing a little at a time in order to act on 

 the more deep-seated parts.
