ordinary mustard alone can be used and then 

 washed off in half an hour's time. Other forms of 

 counter-irritation are hot-water flannels, mustard 

 poultices, linseed or oatmeal poultices, cantharides 

 liniment, turpentine stupes, ammonia liniment, 

 red blister ointment, etc., and any of these can be 

 employed as substitutes for the agents first of all 

 recommended. Repeated blistering is pernicious, 

 whilst counter-irritation is useless if the pneumonic 

 symptoms have become firmly estabhshed; in fact 

 success can only be hoped for in the incipient stages. 

 Counter-irritation must be followed by internal 

 medication, and for this purpose the mixtures as 

 per prescription below can be employed : 



Iodide of potash ... 2 drachms.

 marked, and then substitute the following mixture:
