44 APIS MELLIFICA; OE, 



we have offered concerning this latter disease, like- 

 wise apply to rubeola. In 



MEASLES, 



likewise. Apis will prove a curative agent. 



In the American Provings, Apis is indicated in 

 this disease by the following symptoms : " No. 1103, 

 heat all over ; the iice is red as in scarlatina ; erup- 

 tion like measles ; cough and difficult respiration 

 as in croup ; muttering delirium ; 1211, superficial 

 eruptions over the whole body, resembling measles, 

 with great heat and a reddish-blue circumscribed 

 flush on the cheeks ; 1218, measle-shaped eruption. 



If we add to these symptoms the peculiarity 

 inherent in Apis, to cause catarrhal irritations of the 

 eyes, such as occur during measles, we have a right 

 to infer that Apis will prove a valuable remedial 

 agent in measles. 



Although common mild measles do not require 

 any medicinal treatment, and generally get well 

 without any prejudice to the general health ; never- 

 theless, cases occur where intense ophthalmi, a vio- 

 lent and racking congh, and the phenomena which 

 appertain to it ; an intense irritation of the internal 

 mncous membrane; diarrhoea; dangerous prostra- 

 tion of strength; marked stupefaction and various 

 nervous phenomena render the interference of art 

 desirable. In all such cases, I have seen good 

 effects from the use of Apis, which differed not 

 only from the regular course of the disease, but 

 likewise from the effects which have been witnessed
