iSO DB. CHASE'S RECIPES. 



applied* to mouth of the womb, cloths wet in water with a fifth as much tino 

 ture of rhus, gently kneading over the uterus until it contracted, and after two 

 hours the hemorrhage ceased, and patient comfortable. Then directed the tine- 

 ture every hour, and left to call in 6 hours. Found her comfortable, removed 

 the cotton without any more hemorrhage, improvement rapid, and recovery 

 complete in 10 days; but there was a slight discharge during this time, for 

 which he gave smaller doses, probably 5 or 6 drops, every 2 or 3 hours, as 

 required. 



VII. LeucorrTiea. — He uses the same tincture when there is a relaxed coa- 

 dition of the uterus, as in leucorrhea, and also hemorrhages from falls, blows, 

 etc. 



VIIL Hemorrhage From the Kidneys. — For blood passed in the urine, mak- 

 ing it dark, he prescribed: Tinct. rhus aromatica, J^ oz. ; tinct. nux vomica, 15 

 drops; glycerine, 3 ozs. ; mix. Dose — A tea-spoonful 3 times a day. Man 

 able to be out in a week; good recovery. 



Remarks. — These last clauses are condensed from the doctor's report, giv- 

 ing all that I deemed necessary to understand how, and when, and how much, 

 to give of the remedy, not doubting that much good will arise from the further 

 use and study of this article, of the " New Remedies." For, certainly, if it 

 proves as successful in diabetes, which has been one of the incurables, in other 

 hands, as it has in Dr. McClanahan's, and several other physicians whose reports 

 were given in connection, it will be a great blessing to suffering humanity. The 

 report was made in Vol. I, Parke, Davis & Co.'s "Newer Materia Medica," 

 Detroit, Mich. 



TOBACCO CHEWERS' WEAK STOMACH-Antidote for- 

 "WTiich Also Weans One From its Use. — A writer to the " Household" 

 of the Blade, in answer to an inquirer for such an antidote, says: "Therewith 

 Bend you my prescription, which has never failed yet. Take the inner bark of 

 the root of poplar or whitewood, and when your friend wants a chew of tobacco 

 let him take a chew of this bark. If he will follow this for 3 weeks, I will 

 guarantee he will not be troubled with a weak stomach or have any more desire 

 for the filthy weed." 



Remarks. — This being just the thing desired by many, let it have a fair 

 trial, twice as long as the writer claims to be necessary, rather than fail. Not 

 being a " chewer," I have not tested it. 



" EMETIC — The Best in Use. — Lobelia and boneset (eupatorium per- 

 foliatum, also called thoroughwort). each \^ oz. ; infused or steeped in water, 1 

 pt. Dose — Give one table-spoonful every 10 minutes until thorough emesis 

 (vomiting) has taken place. 



Remarks. — This is the best emetic in use, from the fact that it injures none, 

 and will not continue its action any longer than you give it. It is necessary, 

 therefore, to continue to give it until the contents of the stomach are thoroughly 

 evacuated. This was the great favorite of Prof. I. G. Jones, one of the early 

 Eclectics, who claimed it the best emetic in use. 



1. IMPOTENCY— Especial Tonic for. — Strychnine, 1 gr.; sul 

 phate of auinine (phoi^hate of quinine is the best, but it is not kept by drug
