On the Mineral Waters near Landour. 35 



which had no apparent action, and hydriodate of potass in January 

 1844. On the 1st of March the eruption had completely disap- 

 peared ; he was florid, muscular, and in perfect health, and he has 

 continued so ever since. 



Scrophula. — This climate has proved very beneficial in 

 strumous debility, ulcers, and enlargement of the absorbent 

 glands. The chalybeate water has proved a valuable auxili- 

 ary. 



Case 7th. — E. F., aged twelve years : suffered for two years in the 

 plains, from painful swelling of both knees. On arrival in April 

 1844, there was great enlargement of both knees, with loss of motion 

 in the right, which was since dislocated, with a prominent, red, soft 

 part on the inner surface. The inguinal and axillary glands were 

 much enlarged. She was extremely emaciated ; appetite very bad ; 

 bowels irregular. A few leeches were applied to the knee, and the 

 bowels were regulated by bitter laxatives, after which she used the 

 chalybeate water daily during the season. It was omitted for a few 

 days, when from an exacerbation of pain and redness, leeches were 

 again applied to the knee. The appetite slowly improved, the 

 enlargement of the absorbent glands disappeared ; the pain and 

 swelling were removed from the left knee, and had very much sub- 

 sided in the right, (which became anchylosed) when she left the hills 

 in October. 



Other diseases. — Under this head are included acci- 

 dents, ulcers, ophthalmia, scorbutus, fyc, diseases not peculi- 

 arly modified by a tropical climate. Where the general health 

 has been debilitated by the treatment or disease, a residence 

 at Landour proves beneficial. 



I cannot conclude these remarks, without expressing my 

 ardent hope, that the efficiency of the most valuable Sanato- 

 rium at Landour, will be increased by these powerful, natural 

 remedies, being rendered available.
