OZEKA. 243 



Calcaeea Caebonica. and Aesenicum. — In those cases 

 where the discharge arises from a sub- acute inflammatory action 

 within the mucous membrane of the nose, Calcarea and Arseni- 

 cum generally prove of value ; they are remedies which appear 

 to act best if given night and morning, in alternation. Give 

 the Calcarea in 2-drachm doses, and the Arsenicum in like 

 quantities. 



AuRUM, AND TiisrcTTJEE OE China, are remedies which 

 appear to act best if given alone. Give the Aurum in 

 2-drachm doses, night and morning, for eight or ten days in 

 succession. Use the China in ounce doses, two or three times 

 a day, for eight or ten days in succession ; when, if the patient 

 improves from the use of either one remedy or the other, con- 

 tinue it until its action either ceases to have a beneficial effect, 

 or until the patient recovers. 



Sulphate of Coppee, Sulphate oe Iron, Biniodide 

 OE Copper, and the Iodide oe Ieon, are remedies which 

 are generally described as tonics ; but whether it be strictly 

 correct to so designate them, is a matter of little impor- 

 tance, so ftir as their curative action relates to the dis- 

 ease in question, which may be summed up in the following 

 manner : — 



I. — The action of these drugs upon the living animal, 

 if regarded as a whole, is very similar to each other ; but 

 their particular effects are different upon different animals. 



II. — Cures of Ozena have followed upon the administra- 

 tion of each of the remedies above named ; but the remedy 

 which succeeds in one case of the disease may not produce 

 the least beneficial effect upon another, though, to all 

 appearance, they are closely similar in every respect.
