TREATMENT 



The patient should be kept in a cool and quiet place. If 

 hemorrhages are from the nose or anterior air chambers, inject 

 up into the nostrils the juice of several lemons. This, with rest and 

 quiet, will arrest the hemorrhage temporarily. Then give a tea- 

 spoonful of Ferritone (Elk's) for an adult in moist food three times 

 daily. This will increase the fibrin and red corpuscles of the blood, 

 which makes a firm clot and heals completely the ruptured vessel, 

 besides strengthening the walls of the blood vessels. If the 

 hemorrhage is in the lungs or stomach, the injections of lemon 

 juice are not so effective and may be omitted, but the Ferritone 

 should be given regularly as above directed and the treatment 

 continued for a week or two after the hemorrhage has stopped. 



NASAL POLYPI 



Polypus in the Nostril. 



These are wart-like tumors growing in the nostril as shown in 

 the accompanying illustration. The only remedy is to remove them 

 with a small wire ecraseur, w^hich is especially designed for this 

 purpose. The operation is simple and usually has no dangerous 

 after effects.
