JAUNDICE. 



The treatment of jaundice of necessity varies in accordance with the par- 



Iticular case and its causes. The diet should be carefully regulated. The food 

 should be restricted in amount, and of a laxative nature, and capable of being 

 easily digested. In the first instance it is best to begin treatment by the admi- 

 nistration of a cathartic (see Cathartics, strong). Perhaps the best cathartic 

 may be composed of — 

 Sulphate of magnesium, sixteen ounces. 

 Powdered aloes, eight drachms. 

 Powdered ginger, half an ounce. 

 This may be well mixed with a pint or more of warm water or gruel, and 

 then administered.
