lary glands very enlarged, hard and adherent to bones of jaw; 

 tongue thickly coated; dysenteric diarrhoea. In addition to the 

 internal administration of the remedy it may very usefully be 

 applied locally to the ulcers on the nasal membrane, the outer 

 skin of the nose and face and the buds of farcy; a suitable lotion 

 for this purpose may be prepared by dissolving one drachm of the 

 crude drug in ten fluid ounces of distilled water; should there be 

 any ulcers in the upper parts of the nose out of reach, either a 

 syringe or a spra}^ diffuser can be used to effect the desired object. 



Mercurins corrosivus, 3X grains, five to a dose, repeated three

 or stable should be subjected to a free diffusion of the Eucalyptus 

 several times each day with a view to disinfection and preventing 

 the spread of the disease.
