Hooping Cough ~ 4 
The different fpecies of cutaneous difeafe, 
which were noticed in the laft number of this 
work, ftill prevail, and, in fome inftances, 
prove very obftinate. Cafes of hooping cough 
fill continue numerous, and have proved fatal 
to feveral. This difeafe, being of a contagious 
nature, is generally propagated through the 
family where there are children who have 
not before been affected by it. In fome in- 
ftances, this difeafe has fucceeded the meefles, 
and has been fuppofed, for fome time, to be 
that kind of pneumonic affeCtion, which 
frequently follows that cifeafe; but, after 
New Publications in hand. 
fome time, its peculiar charaéter is difeovered, 
by the cough becoming more rapid and vio~=, 
lent, and the infpiration being attended with 
that peculiar found from which the difeafe 
has derived itsname. This difeafe generally 
proves obftinate and tedious. The cure is to 
be conduéted rather by an attention’ to the 
various circumftances under which it occurs, 
and the different fymptoms which arife, than 
in any dependance upon fpecific remedies. 
Gentle laxatives are neceflary, to keep the 
bowels open, and emetics are frequently 
ufed with advantage: the latter remedy is 
often rendered more neceflary by the patient’s 
being fuffered to take in two large a quantity 
of food at once, by which the fomach ts op- 
preffed, and for the fpeedy relief of which, ” 
as well as for other purpofes, the eme‘ic is 
to be adminiftered. If the cough be violent, 
and a large quantity of blood is determined 
to the head, the application of leeches to the 
emples is very proper: or if difficulty of 
breathing, and too little expectoration occur, 
a blifter to the fternum proves a ufeful xe- 
medy. In the more advanced ftages of the 
difeafe, cicuta and opium have been found 
ufeful, and medicines of the tonic clafs have 
alfo been prefcribed with good effect: but it 
requires the judgment and attention of the 
medical praétitioner to determine at what ps- 
riod of the difeafe, and under what circum- 
ftances they are proper. :
