182 DR CHASE'S RECIPEa. 



then add glycerine, 13^ ozs. ; specific tinct. (fl. ex., I tliink, will do as well 

 when the specific tinct. is not kept by druggists) of staphisagria, 1 dr. Dose — 

 Take 1 tea-spoonful 3 times daily, and at bed-time have the patient take a 

 sponge bath over the spine and hips, and give, on retiring, 10 grs. lupulin (1 

 think B. Keith «fc Co., of New York city, prepare the best lupulin in use) in a 

 little cold water. Not only," he continues, " will this treatment relieve the dis 

 charge of semen, but will cure 9 cases out of ten of sexual debility, by prohib- 

 iting sexual intercourse for 2 months, and giving these medicines that length of 

 time; then suspending all drugs, with the exception of the lupulin at bed-time, 

 and continuing the hip baths." 



Remarks. — Should not a cure be perfected in two months, I should say, go 

 over the same treatment again, after two weeks' discontinuance, imtil a cure 

 is accomplished, avoiding absolutely all the causes which led to it in the first 

 place. In these cases there is always an inflammatory condition of the ureter 

 and other parts of the organs of generation ; hence I have found that a 10 to 15 

 drop dose of the fluid extract of gelsemium, in connection with the other treat- 

 ment, at or near bed-time, will greatly aid in overcoming this inflammatory 

 condition. 



4. Tonic Tincture for Impotency, Spermatorrhea, etc.— 

 Dr. R. M. Griswold, of North INIanchester, Ct. , reports through the Bnef, that 

 he has made several quick cures of the above diseases vnth the following; 

 Tincts. of nux vomica and cantharides, each 1 dr. ; tinct. ferri-mur (muriated 

 tinct. of iron), 3 drs. ; fl. ex. ergot, 1 oz. ; acidi phos. dil. (dilute phoshoric acid), 

 B drs. ; mix. [The author would say, double the amount, as it will be needed.] 

 Dose — Thirty drops {% tea-spoonful) in a wine-glass of water, 3 times daily. 



"Within the last six months," the doctor says, "I have treated several 

 cases of the above diseases with uniform success, a radical cure being efEected 

 In each case. Two cases occurred in young men of about 20 years of age, 

 resulting from masturbation; one case, following gonorrhea; the fourth case, a 

 married man, was the result of excessive indulgence: and three other cases, 

 Where the search for the direct cause was unsuccessful, yet the same treatment 

 was successful." 



Remarks. — He.required abstinence from all stimulants (liquors) and condi- 

 ments (liigh-seasoned food), using light but nourishing food, especially milk, 

 eggs, fish; sleeping on a hard bed, and in a cold, well-ventilated roctoi; total 

 avoidance of all sexual excitement and all undue exertion of strength. By ob- 

 serving the foregoing, the success was satisfactory. 



The only apology I have to offer for the introduction of this class of reme- 

 dies, for the above diseases, is a positive knowledge that such conditions 

 are found throughout the country — I mean the whole United States and Domin 

 ion of Canada, and, I have not a doubt, of all other countries— and also a 

 knowledge that those who have need of such remedies have so great a delicacy 

 in going to home physicians, they either put off treatment too long, or are so 

 egregiously humbugged by advertising quacks that I have felt compelled to come 

 to their relief, as well as those troubled only with the common, or ordinary, 

 affecting the health of the people. Faithful attention in taking the
