Apply, by means of a compress of linen or sponge, a small 
quantity of persulphite of iron. Thisis the most valuable styptie

Fuiurp Exrracr oF ACONITE. 
(Aconitum Napellus—Monk’s-hood.) 
This medicine is used as a very powerful sedative and narcotic, 
in all cases of active or inflammatory disease of the lungs or brain 
It is highly recommended by the professors of our art as a reliable 
antiphlogistic in the treatment of acute affections. The dose is 
from ten to twenty drops. This medicine is said to be very effi- 
cacious in inflammatory rheumatism, and as a fine topical remedy 
in localized painful affections, such as laminitis, myalgia, ete. 
HYPosULPHITE OF SoDA. 
The hyposulphite of soda is useful in all kinds of diseases known 
as rinderpest, pleuro-pneumonia, typhoid affections, and in en- 
gootic affections, and in all diseases caused by fermentation in the 
blood, such as Texas fever, malignant scarlet fever, typhus, ete. 
The hyposulphite of soda can be used with great success in the 
treatment of the above and other affections of an enzodtic origin, 
yet I have found it more efficacious and reliable when prepared 
as follows: 
Hyposulphite of soda.....
