cold bath, injections of metallic falts, flannel fhirt, change of 

 the form of the accuftosned chair or faddle of the patient. 



1 1. Fluor albus calidus. Warm fluor albus. Increafed fecre- 

 tion of mucus in the vagina or uterus without venereal defire of 

 venereal infection. It is diftinguiihed from the fiuor albus fn-T- 

 idus by the increafed fenfe of warmth in the part, and by the 

 greater opacity or fpiffitude of the material difcharged ; as the 

 thinner parts are re-abforbed by the increafed action of the ab- 

 ibrbents, along with the faliiie part, whence no fmarting or ex- 

 coriation attends it. 



M. M. Mitcilage, as ifinglafs, hartfhorn jelly, gum arabic. 

 Ten grains of rhubarb every night. Calico or flannel fhift, Opi- 

 um, balfams. See Clafsl. 2. 3. 7. 



12. Htzmorrhois alba. White piles. An increafed difcharge 

 of mucus from the rectum frequently miftaken for matter ; is 

 faid to continue a few weeks, and recur like the bleeding piles 5 

 and to obey lunar influence. See Clafs I. 2. I. 6. 



M. M. Abflinence from vinous fpirit. Balfam of copaiva. 

 Spice fwallowed in large fragments, as ten or fifteen black pep- 

 per-corns cut in half, and taken after dinner and fupper. Warci's 

 pafte, confiding of black pepper and the powdered root of He-' 

 lenium Enula. 



13. Serum e veficatoric. Difcharge from a blifler. The ex- 

 cretory duels of glands terminate in membranes, and are endu- 

 ed with great irritability, and many of them with fenfibility ; the 

 latter perhaps in confequence of their facility of being excitable 

 into great action ; inftances of this arc the terminations of th<;:' 

 gall-duel: in the duodenum, and of the falivary and lachrymal 

 glands in the mouth and eye ; which produce a greater fecre- 

 tion of their adapted fluids, when the ends of their excretory 

 duels are flimulated. 



The external fkin confifts of the excretory duets of the capil- 

 laries, with the mouths of the abforbents ; when thefe are flim- 

 ulated by the application of cantharides, or by a flice of the frelh 

 root of bryonia alba bound on it, the capillary glands pour an 

 increafed quantity of fluid upon the fkin by their increafed ac- 

 tion ; and the abforbent veflels imbibe a greater quantity of the 

 more fluid and faline part of it j whence a thick mucous or fe- 

 f-bus fluid is depofited between the ikin and cuticle. 



14. Perfpiratio foetida. Fetid perforation. The ufes of the 

 perfpirable matter are to keep the fkin foft and pliant, for the 

 purpofes of its eafier flexibility during the activity of our limbs iri 

 locomotion, and for the prefervation of the accuracy of the fenfo 

 of touch, which is difFufed under the whole furface of it to 

 guard us againfl the injuries of external bodies; in the fame
