 carefully nursed. 



Liquor ammonias acetatis in ^ drachm doses in a mixture combined with 

 3 to 5 grains of sodium salicylate, alternated with i drachm doses of the 

 ammoniated tincture of quinine, well diluted, should be given every two 

 hours until the symptoms are relieved . 



Pyramidon may be administered with benefit, if desired. 



The diet should be light and nutritious, and the heart and respiratory organs 

 should be carefully watched. 



Prophylaxis. — The patient should be isolated as far as possible, and on 

 recovery his room, bedding, clothing, etc., should be disinfected. Vaccines 

 have not been very successful.
