PREFACE,

In design or conception, at least, this book needs no other war- rant than Its manifest utility In placing before the prescriber a meant of percelTlng at a glance all the ayallable forms or pharmacen- tlcal preparations of any drug now In Togue. From the statements of professional men who Tlslt onr laboratories and obserre there the different lines or classes of products In which the same drags are often "exhibited** — from the qnestlons which onr representatives are constantly receiving with respect to the best means of adminis- tering a favorite remedy, — we are convinced that a very real and widespread demand exists for a terse Manual of Materia Medlca whence the physician may qnlckly choose from all the current biological .and pharmaceutical preparations the one best suited to the present case.

Not a single secret remedy or combination Is mentioned In these pages. The exact formule of the compounds are set forth In full. In dealing with the numerous drugs brought from foreign countries, Introduced by us to American and European medicine, and adopted. In a number of Instances, by the leading pharmacopoeias of the dvlUzed world, the correct botanical name Is Invariably given. Witness: Cascara Sagrada, Grlndella Bobusta, Eava Kava, Yerba Santa, Viburnum Prunlfollum, Jaborandl, Cereus Grandlflorus, Coca, Convallarla, Majalls, Eucalyptus Globulus, Pichl, Guarana, and others.

The rapid advances of the past two decades in the domain of Biological Medicine and Serum Therapy are strikingly exhibited In the Immense vogue attained by the antitoxic serums. Proper spac« has accordingly been devoted to the serum treatment of Diphtheria, Tetanus, Tuberculosis, the infections of the Streptococcus, and, likewise, to the prophylactic uses of the vaccines. It is universally hoped and commonly believed that biological research will yet add to the physician's resources adequate means of combating the prin- cipal Infections; and in our resolution to keep pace, industrially, with the progress of science, we have provided our Biological Department with every possible facility for the production of Such new agents as may enrich the Materia Medlca of the future.

The luxury of the past is the necessity of the present. Twenty years ago we dwelt earnestly on the evil of depending upon external physical signs for the quality of powerful narcotic drugs. We then demonstrated that, in the absence of proper methods of testing and standardizing the preparations of such drugs, they must inevitably share In the fluctuations exhibited by root, bark, leaf, or gum. We still contend that the manufacturer fails miserably to fulfill his

6

6 PRBFACE.

duty to medicine and humanity Just so long as his products go forth without the positive assurance that a given dose of a power- ful preparation may always be relied upon, barring idiosyncrasy in the patient, to exert the same measure of therapeutic effect. Tne principle of standardization which we have thus advocated during more than two decades was recognized in the Pharmacopoeia of 1890 by the adoption of definite standards for Nuz Vomica, Opium and Cinchona. That principle will unquestionably be largely ex tended In the forthcoming revision. In the meantime, regardless of official action, we have for many years standardized all prepara- tions of powerful drugs which are susceptible of chemical test, and more recently we have maintained a pharmacological laboratory, with an equipment second to that of no university in the United States, for testing on animals and standardizing drugs and prepara- tions which defy chemical analysis — Ergot, Digitalis, Strophanthus, Cannabis Indica, and others. At present we should no more think of dispensing with our physiological assay processes for these drugs than we should consent to abandon our quantitative guinea-pig test for Anti-diphtheritic Serum or our chemical assay of Nux Vomica. The benefit of this work is, of course, shared by every extract, pill, tablet, elixir or other compound into which a preparation of the respective drug enters as an ingredient.

There has been much well-meaning derision of "elegant phar- macy," but we do not sympathize with it, and the products enu- merated in this volume are deliberately made as sightly, palatable and inviting as they can possibly be rendered without sacrificing any of that therapeutic efficacy which Is the supreme end of medication.

The very considerable labor, care and expense bestowed on this volume will be well rewarded if it prove of daily usefulness to th<» profession whose support has l>een a conspicuous factor In the growth of our establishment. "We stand deep-debted in the ledger of their friendship." May they never find cause to forsake us in any disloyalty to the principles on which this House was founded — the treatment of professional men in strict accordance with pro- fessional methods ; the ungrudging publication of all available data; abstention from the devices of the nostrum-monger; open formulae, open laboratories; strict fidelity to the truth in letter, circular and label ; and eager readiness to invade every new field of scientific activity In quest of the agents which promise to prevent, mitigate, or cure disease.

NoTB. — The doses of preparations given under the head of Materia Medica are merely approximate. In every case the dosage must be adapted to the circumstances.

THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS.

ABORTION.

Prevention. Hygienic measures. Avoid cathartics. A suitable mild laxative is Cascara Cordial. Liquor Sedans and clmlcifuga ar» the best prophylactics.

Threatened, Rest. Chlor-Anodyne, Liquor Sedans, morphine (hypodermatically)» rectal Injection of warm starch-water contain- ing 30 drops of tincture ot opium, U. S. P. (assayed).

Inevitable. Prevent hemorrhage by tampon aronnd cervix. Empty uterus with finger or curette; follow with intra-uterine douche of sterile water ; pack with Chloretone gause. '

After-treatment: Rest and small doses of Fluid Bxtract Ergot (physiologically standardized) and quinine.

ABSCESS.

Acute. Calcium sulphide, gr. 1-10, is used as an abortive. Quiet circulatory excitement with aconite or veratrum viride. Locally, poultice or other demulcent application. Oleate of Atropine locally, 2% alkaloid, to allay pain. Surgical measures in presence of pus.

Chronic (cold). For the general debility. Solution Iron Pepton- ate and Manganese, Syrup Iron Chloride (Weld), Cod-Liver Oil Emulsion with Hypophosphites, of Calcium and Sodium, Egg Emul- sion of Cod-Liver Oil, Glycerole of Hypophosphltes, Elixir No. 77 (Iron, Quinine and Strychnine Phosphates), Esencla de Callsaya.

Nuclein.

ACIDITY:

Ammonia in acidity due to fermentation ; not to be used when irritation exists. Granular Effervescent Vichy, Sodium bicarbonate, lime-water. Compressed Tablets No. 8 (Antacid, Sir William Rob- erts, M. D.), No. 285 (Cerium oxalate, 2 grs.). No. 63 (Charcoal, 5 grs.).

ACNE.

Depends upon the underlying condition. Regulate diet and avoid fats. Arsenic is particularly useful. Elixir No. 72 (Iron, Quinine and Arsenic). Calcium sulphide.

Locally, for inflamed acne, splphur suspended in bay rum and glycerin. If induration is present, ichthyol ointment, 20 per cent.. is of service. Oleate of Mercnry, 20 per cent, is a valuable appli- cation but must not be applied until all sulphur has been removed, as a black sulphide of mercury will stain the face.

7

8 THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS.

ADDISON'S DISEASE.

Suprarenal Gland, In tablets or capanles, giyee positive effects. Usnally administered one three times a day at the begin- ning, and the dosage Is later regulated by the symptoms. An eminently safe remedy. Suprarenal Liquid with Chloretone answers the purpose equally well, perhaps better.

ADENITIS.

Treat the specific disease, if any exists, with appropriate reme- dies. Improve systemic condition by tonics. Symp Iron Iodide (10 per cent, ferrous iodide by weight) is admirable. Dose, for a child, 6 to 15 drops.

Local inunctions of ichthyol or painting with tincture of iodine may be used until reddening or fluctuation appears; then treat surgically.

ALBUMINURIA.

Suprarenal Glands (see *' Addison's Disease") in cyclic albumin- uria.

Tablet Triturate No. 251 (Gallic Acid), dose 2 grs., in atony of kidney.

ALCOHOLISM.

Acute alcoholism requires no treatment but rest and complete isolation from alcoholic drinks. Diuretics, as Granular Blferres- cent Potassium bicarbonate, 10 grs., and liquor ammonium acetatis, favor recovery from the mental depression. In chronic alcoholism hygiene and nutritious diet of highly seasoned and predlgested toodB, as Beef -Jelly (Mosquera), are Indispensable.

Pill No. 807, Dipsomania, does well for the atonic stomach. A careful watch should be kept on the condition of the right heart.

AMBLYOPIA AND AMAUROSIS.

Treatment must be referred to the cause, viz. : general disease, as the exanthemata; local disease, as migraine. The medicinal agents most often needed are mercury, iodide of potassium, pilocar- pine, and strychnine.

In tobacco amblyopia, the withdrawal of the tobacco may effect a cure, aided, perhaps, by digitalis, nitroglycerin, or strychnine.

AMENORRHEA.

This symptom must be treated with due regard to the cause. A favorite combination when anemia Is the cause Is Pill No. 13, Aloes and Iron, U. S. P., but pregnancy must be excluded before its employment. (See ''Anemia.".) Fluid Extract Cimicifuga, dose 80 drops, gives good results in symptomatic amenorrhea. Aplol, 5 minims. In soluble elastic capsules. For "Emmenagogue" pills and tablets see price list.

ANAL FISSURE.

Excluding surgical treatment the pain of defecation la b#st Al- leviated by the local application of Chloretone or iodoform fii suppository form. Extract of belladonna, 1-4 gr., may be added to each suppository to relax any existing spasm of the sphincter mus-

THBRAPBtJTIC SUaOBSTIONS. 9

cle. The stools shonld be kept 8emiHSK>lld by such agents as Com- pressed Tablet No. 102 (Sniphur), or a nightly dose of Flnld Bxtract No. 116 (Cascara Sagrada) taken In capsule.

ANEMIA.

The selection of the proper form and salt of iron in the indi- Tidnal case is all-Important. The best preparations of iron are Ferrinol (a nnclelde of iron, readily assimilable). Ferrous Carbon- ate (Bland) in gelatin capsules (5 grs.), Solution Iron Peptonate and Manganese with Arsenic, and reduced iron as contained In Chocolate-coated Tablet Na 92 (Q "A/* Iron, Arsenic and Strych- nine). Chocolate-coated Tablet No. 172, containing a combination of Blaud's mass, arsenous acid, and manganese dioxide, is also commendable. When the digestive tract is sluggish with accumula- tion of flatus and Juices, the carminative influence of Solution Iron and Manganese (Aromatic) makes it a desirable agent. Hematic Hypophosphltes prove useful In cases of anemia that are compli- cated with nervous prostration. Syrup Iron chloride (Weld) is of particular value in chlorosis.

Quinine for a malarial element, cascara sagrada, podophylUn or the saline Solution Sodium Phosphate to clear out toxic products, and simple bitters for tonicity, are essential adjuvants. BleMIorlde of mercury, 1-40 gr., arsenic, copper arsenate. Food should contain, as far as possible, easily assimilable albuminoids, and port wine is of material benefit given with meals.

ANEURYSM.

Whatever systemic taint produces this condition, iodide of potassium alone or In combination is the best remedy. When syphilis is the primary affection the Syrup Trlfollum Compound is a most excellent preparation. Quiet, carefnl diet, recumbent posi- tion, and avoidance of stimulants, are to be maintained ; and any untoward symptoms corrected, as high arterial tension and excitable heart by veratrum viride. If pain is great, Chlor-Anedyne is a happy choice.

ANGINA PECTORIS.

Amyl Nitrite In pearls of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, or 10 minims is the best remedy for the attack Itself, to be employed by inhalation. Nitro- glycerin hypodermatlcally, and the other nitrites, relax arterial tension and quiet the throbbing action of the heart. With a weak heart and vascular relaxation, digitalis (standardized by physio- logical test) will Improve the condition.

A valuable prescription between attacks Is Blixir No. 134, Nitro- glycerin Compound. Fresh air and mental hygiene are necessary, and sudden over-exertlon should be interdicted.

ANOREXIA.

Food well chosen and daintily prepared to suit the idiosyncrasy of each case. Beef, Iron and Wine, Mosqnera food products. Elixir No. 57 (Gentian, 20 grs.), and the aromatic bitters. Mineral acids ; cascara sagradft* Bxerclse ; salt sponge baths.

Inflammation and acute irritation must be excluded. Lime Juice and Kola is ^n efficacious and delightful beverage.

10 THBBAPBUTIC SU6QB8TIONS.

APOPLEXY.

When yenesection Is not desired, the blood pressure may be lowered by veratrnm yirlde or aconite. Depletant measures by foot- bath, ice-cap and catharsis will relieve the cerebral engorgement.

Following the attack cerebral sedatives are Indicated. Iodide of potassium later to cause absorption of clot.

Massage, electricity, and passive exercise, with strychnine hypo- dermatically (Hypodermatic Tablet No. 28), are the resources to prevent trophic change in the muscles.

APPENDICITIS.

The medicinal treatment resolves Itself into the local applica- tion of cold, unloading the bowel by Granular Effervescent Mag- nesium Citrate or Magnesium Sulphate, or rectal Injections, with the addition of antiphlogistic and anodyne doses of morphine as illustrated by the sedative but non-stupefying effects of Chlor- Anodyne.

ARTHRITIS.

Granular Effervescent Lithium Citrate, U. S. P.

Granular Effervescent Sodium Salicylate, 5 grs.

Globules of Colchicine with Methyl Salicylate (1 to 6 a day).

Capsule No. 95, Salicylic Acid (true), 5 grs.

A lotion of bicarbonate of sodium in water, applied on lint, allays the pain in Joints.

ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDES, See WORMS.

ASCITES, See DROPSY.

ASPHYXIA.

Artificial respiration by the various methods; the best is Syl- vester's. To establish free entrance of air and imitate and finally excite respiration is th^ desired end. Rhythmic traction on the tongue with forceps ten to fifteen times a minute is worthy of trial.

In coal-gas asphyxia, hypodermoclysis with saline solution (from Saline Solution Concentrated, sterilized).

Oxygen Inhalations. Strychnine hypodermatlcally (H. T. No. 28).

ASTHENOPIA.

All functions of the body must be placed in as nearly normal condition as possible.

Physostigmine sulphate or salicylate, and pilocarpine, dropped into the eye, are stimulants to the ciliary muscle.

ASTHMA. Belladonna is by far the most serviceable remedy. Lobelia is a pronounced peripheral pneumogastric depressant; as well are the nitrites.

THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 11

Fusing nitrate of potasflium and chloroform inlialations are employed.

The new remedy Euphorbia Pilulifera, recently advocated, is contained in the very useful and highly scientific combination called Elixir No. 132, Anti- Asthmatic (Dr. Hare) ; also li^ Compressed Tablet No. 55. Elixir No. 184, Nitroglycerin Compound, is valuable between the attacks.

Chloretone in a full dose during the paroxysm, in 3- to 6-graIn doses during the interim.

Amy I nitride, cocaine (locally in cases of nasal origin), iodide of potassium, arsenic, grindelia robusta, oxygen (in cyanosis).

ATONY.

The simple bitters, calumba, quassia, and gentian ; aromatic bit- ters, capsicum, cardamom; hydrastis and strychnine - restore the tone to the gastro-intestinal walls.

AURAL VERTIGO.

Hypodermatic Injections of pilocarpine every few days, Just to the point of salivation, are most efficient.

BALANITIS.

Cleanliness and disinfection are best maintained by astringent solutions of zinc chloride and nitrate of silver.

A 2-per-cent. lotion of carbolic acid is excellent.

Stick of silver nitrate for ulcerations.

Lead water, dilute, as a wet dressing, following the astringent wash.

Oleate of Zinc in impalpable powder Is the best dusting powder.

BED-SORES.

A smooth sheet, clean bed, and rubbing with well diluted Enfor- mol or with a lolittion of salt (2 drachms) in whiskey (1 pint), will go far toward preventing this condition. Astringent solutions, as of catechu, assist in hardening the skin. Change of position ts also valuable when possible. Curative measures include washing with solution of bichloride of mercury 1 :5000, applying soap plas* ter, and dusting with iodoform. Euthymol Cream is an excellent application. Internally, Syrup Iron Chloride (Weld), half an ounce every four hours, to overcome debility.

BILIOUSNESS.

In the beginning of an attack, if stools are dark, podophyllin 1-6 gr; ; if light, calomel 1 to 10 grs. in divided doses. The diet must l>e strictly ordained. Exercise overcomes hepatic torpor.

Nitro-muriatic acid, undiluted, S drops in water; enonymus, leptandrin, chirata, salol, and ammonium chloride, are useful as preventives.

12 THBBAPBUTIC SUG6B8TIONS.

BLEPHARITIS.

Remoye scabs and crusts by alkaline washes. Yellow oxide of mercury salve is a good application. Crater-like abscess may be touched with stick of silver nitrate.

BOILS.

Constitutional treatment brings into use fresh air, cod-liver oil (Lofoten or Egg Emulsion), Syrup Iron Iodide (10 per cent, by weight), arsenic, sodium phosphate (Solution Concentrated or Gran- ular Effervescent), and calcium sulphide 2 grs. every Hve hours. The local treatment consists In aborting the boil by painting with collodion, and evacuation by proper surgical procedure.

If repeated attacks occur, be on the watch for diabetes.

BONE DISEASE.

Syrup Iron Iodide (10 per cent ferrous iodide by weight) inter- nally. Iodine diluted one-half with lard Is of service locally.

BREASTS, INFLAMED, See MASTITIS.

BREATH, FETID.

CONSTIPATION.

Hygienic measures must be initiated and observed, with the cor- rection of bad habits of life. Regulated and well balanced diet Is an essential factor.

The drug must be selected with reference to the etiology

Remedies to unlo<id the howel, — Purgative salts, jalap, colo- cynth, senna, mercury, castor oil, and rhubarb.

Drugs to infiuenoe intestines to normal aotivitjf. — Cascara sa- grada, aloes, manna, tafbarlnds, rhamnus frangula (buckthorn}, phosphate of sodium (granular effervescent or concentrated solu- tion), and small doses of podophyllln.

Measures to clear the colon. — Enemata and suppositories.

For plethoric states, Hunyadl or Carlsbad waters. To establish and maintain peristalsis, with eventual cure, Cascara Sagrada is peerless, particularly in the form of the Aromatic Fluid Extract No. 536, dose 10 to 40 drops; for children, Cascara Cordial, dose 1 to 6 fluldrachms.

In rachitic children, Granular Effervescent Sodium Phosphate Is the best laxative.

CRETINISM.

Thyreoids has been largely used, with eminent success. The dose varies within wide limits, according to the susceptibility of the pa- tient and the extent of the pathological changes present. Avoid "tfayreoidlsm" by safe doees and by intervals of cessation of treat- ment. Thyreoids is supplied In powder, in capsules, and in tablets.

THBBAPBUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 19

CROUP, MEMBRANOUS, See DIPHTHERIA.

CROUP, SPASMODIC.

Prom the pathology of this affection the avoidance of exciting: causes, as cold, and Impure air laden with dnst, is Important. The bromides at bedtime are prophylactic.

In the attack, wrap cold cloth around neck and place child In an atmosphere surcharged with steam.

Fumes of menthol are good, and a few whiffs of amyl nitrite may be necessary in severe paroxysm.

CYSTITIS, ACUTE.

In tho presence of systemic reaction, aconite with sweet spirits of nitre and potassldm citrate Is indicated.

Simple hot compress over bladder. Belladonna is very service- able. Hot enemata or starch-wafer enemata with Tincture Opium deodorized, U. S. P. 1890, often give relief, though cannabis Indlca, when physiologically tested, is to be preferred to opium. Salol is used if the inflammation becomes purulent.

The recumbent position, physical and mental rest, and avoidance of Irritating and stimulating foods, hasten the cure.

CYSTITIS, CHRONIC.

When mucus is secreted in great amount, Granular Effervescent Potassium Bicarbonate renders the urine alkaline.

To acidulate the urine and prevent phosphatic deposits In alka- line urine, benzoic acid is valuable as exhibited In Compressed Tab- let No. 153 (Cystitis, 3 2). Chocolate coated Tablet No. 281 (Cystitis, I^ 3) is also a valuable formula.

DEBILITY.

Arsenic with bitter tonics. Capsicum for gastric atony, Eupa- torium is a good tonic. * For sexual debility, see "Impotence."

20 THERAPEUTIC SUQOBSTION8.

DELIRIUM TREMENS.

Cbloral and bromides are well united in Elixir No. 127 (Bromide Compound) and Elixir No. 41 (Chloral and Potaaaium Bromide).

For nervous twitching, Camphor Monobromated, in 5-grain doses three times a day.

Hyoscine acts favorably in the Insomnia of this disease (Hypo- dermatic Tablet No. 11). Chloretone Is also commended.

Elixir No. 122 (Kola Compound) has t)een highly commended as a "pick-me-up."

DIABETES INSIPIDUS.

The polyuria is best controlled by astringents and tonics, and when nervous excitability is the cause belladonna is employed.

Ergot Aseptic for hypodermatic use, and Fluid Extract Ergot for oral use (both standardized by physiological test), are of prac- tical service.

Sulphate of iron and strychnine are good tonics.

DIABETES MELLITUS.

The chief element of treatment is dietetic. Medicinally, Gold Solution, each 10 minims containing 1-15 grain of gold and sodium chloride, is highly recommended. Fluid Extract (No. 268) of Jam- bul Seed has been widely used and is said to be advantageously combined with a meat diet. The specially prepared Tablet Tritu- rates Nos. 888, 783, etc., of Codeine (alkaloid or sulphate) without sugar, are designed to be administered in this disease.

Cachexia should be met with tonics.

Diabetic coma demands intravenous injections of normal salt solution, conveniently put up in ounce vials as ''Saline Solution, concentrated, sterilized.'*

DIARRHEA.

The treatment depends upon the cause.

Catarrhal. — Regulate diet; sweep out fermenting food and mucus with castor oil or magnesium sulphate. If persisting atony allows a further diarrhea, dilute mineral acid In combination with aromatics, such fls Fluid Extract No. 110 (Cardamom Compouna for U. S. P. tincture), alters the secretions. Aromatic sulphuric acid and the vegetable astringents are indicated In later stages.

Watery Purging. — Here Tincture Opium Compound, volatile oils. Camphor Solution Neutral (12^ per cent.), and astringents are needed at once to stimulate the inhibitory nerves and limit peri- stalsis. Salol is a capital disinfectant and is well given In capsule.

Due to Deficient Glandular Action, — ^Pepsin Cordial (or other pepsin of 1 :8000), Pancreatin, Ox Gall, and, if the duodenum is at fault, nitro-murlatic acid.

Children require sodium and lime salts ; Solution Sodiuih Phos- phate, concentrated, Is convenient.

THBBAFBUTIC SUOGBSTIONS. 21

DIARRHEA, CHRONIC.

Ayoidance of highly seasoned food, restriction of liquids and Tegetables, and rest In bed, will do much to correct this obstinate condition.

Astringent medication, bicarbonate of sodium, and, when de- manded, operative procedure against anal fissure, help to a cure.

DILATATION, GASTRIC AND INTESTINAL.

Physostigmine together with nux vomica has been used with advantage.

Lavage with Salicylic Acid solution has proved of service in gastrectasis.

DIPHTHERIA.

Antidipththeritic Serum, "Standard" or "Special,'* supplants all other agents as a prophylactic and curative measure. It should be used early and with all persistence necessary to counteract the poison. The dose Is to be determined by the severity of the attack. B\>r local treatment Loeffier's Solution gives admirable results, ap- plied for ten seconds every three hours. Supportive treatment dur- ing convalescence as suggested by the symptoms.

DROPSY.

Removal of Aooumulated Fluid. — Blaterium, compound Jalap powder. Extract No. 132 (Colocynth Compound), Fluid Extract No. 104 (Apocynum Cannabinum), Digitalis (physiologically tested), and Squill. Surgical measures for abstracting fluid In ascites. To prevent recurrence, treatment must be addressed to the cause, whether cardiac, pulmonary, renal or hepatic.

• DYSENTERY.

The irritation an<) bloody purging is due to ulceration, and calo- mel and ipecac are preeminently indicated. Ipecac should be admin- istered in a 60-grain dose at once to produce vomiting ; then three grains every hour until a profuse black stool is passisd.

Cold water enemata are of value in strong patients. Bichloride of mercury enema (1 :5000) is attended with favorable results.

DYSMENORRHEA.

Liquor Sedans is a true remedy In Ij^xs condition.

Blixir No. 126 (Aletris Compound).

Among the dtngs frequently employed are clmlclfuga, cannabis Indlca (physiologically tested), and gelsemlum, but a proper selec- tion must be based upon the findings in the individual case.

In general, Chlor-Anodyne Is to be preferred to morphine when the pain is very severe.

Bromide of ethyl or ether by ihhalatlon Is sometimes of service in ah emergency.

DYSPEPSIA, See INDIGESTION.

22 THBBAPBUTIC SUGGESTIONS.

DYSPNEA.

In the relief of this symptom strychnine is used in respiratory weakness, opium or morphine in nervous disorder affecting respira- tion ; and arsenic, if continuously employed, ameliorates the dyspnea of emphysema.

EAR, DISEASES OF.

Mercurol (nucleide of mercury), one of the newer and most scientific of antiseptics, is of value in purulent otitis; apply in % to 2 per cent, aqueous solution. Bismuth subgallate, boric acid, and ' potassium permanganate are used to meet the same indications.

To remove impacted cerumen, syringing with warm water and instilling glycerin Into the external canal are the usual procedures.

EARACHE.

Hot-water bag to ear. Irrigation with Saline Solution (concen- trated, sterilized) in hot water. Instillation of 5 or 10 drops of equal parts of tinctures of opium and belladonna.

If swelling of the post-nasal membrane occludes the orifU:e of the Eustachian tube, a few drops of Solution of Cocaine (4 per cent.) may be followed by the sprays recommended under "Coryza.**

Iodoform Is the best temporary treatment for eczema. In the presence of pus in the ear, evacuation and disinfection.

ECLAMPSIA.

1. Reduce arterial tension by veratrum viride, and eliminate poisons from blood as quickly as possible by venesection, diaphoresis and catharsis, as the occasion demands. The agents employed- are the hot pack, ice-bag to head, elaterium and croton oil.

2. Excite diuresis by hypodermatic or intravenous injection of saline solution at 100* F. (37.8'C.).

3. Diminish nervous sensibility and reduce convulsions by chloroform (not ether) and a rectal injection of Chloral and Potas- sium bromide in the amount afforded by 1% ounces of Elixir No. 41.

4. tf convulsions occur during labor, save infant without risking life of mother, by extraction as soon as os Is dilated.

5. Guard patient from injury during convulsion, as in protection to the tongue.

ECZEMA.

In addition to dietetic and hygienic measures, treatment resolves itself into :

Ewternal. — Oleate of Zinc night and morning, preceded by Lotlo nigra. When crusts exist they must be removed by poultice or olive oil containing a trace of carbolic acid. Liquor carbonis detergens is also a favorite remedy. A paste made by mixing Cuprol with water is useful.

In the chronic form resorcin, salicylic acid or tar in suitable form is indicated.

Internal. — Disordered functions must be corrected, such as debil- ity, anemia, constipation, etc., with the remedies advocated for them.

THBRAPBUTIC' SUQGESTIONS. 28

EMISSIONS.

Ayoidance of excltatlgai of thje nerve cells of the spinal cord, by not sleeping on the back.

The drugs of value are exhibited In Elixirs No. 127 (Bromide Compound), No. 4X (Chloral and Potassium bromide), No. 107 (Potassium bromide, 80 grs.), No. 116 (Sodium bromide, 80 grs.); Tablet Triturate No. 658 (Hyosclne hydrobromate, 1-200 gr.).

In atony of genitalia, cold sponging of the perineum and loins is of value, supplemented by tonics internally.

Avoid all stimulation and,, if possible, regulate habits of life and thought.

EMPHYSEMA OF LUNGS.

Cod-liver oil, Lofoten or Egg Emulsion, Is of great value. Prom its efficacy In asthma. Fluid Extract No. 192 (Euphorbia pilulifera), dose 1-2 to 1 drachm, is highly esteemed.

Ethyl iodide, potassium Iodide, physostlgma and stryqhnlne.

EMPYEMA.

Iodine and potassium Iodide in a^^ueous solution Is useful as an Irrigating fluid.

ENDOCARDITIS.

The diathetic taint must be treated as suggested under "Rheu- matism," and by the iodides, if no degenerative changes are in operation.

In the sthenic type aconite and veratrum vlrlde are the best remedies.

Calomel and morphine provide antiphlogistic and sedative effects, and the ice-bag over heart is sometimes of service.

Should the heart muscle become depressed, digitalis should take the place of aconltis.

Rest fA essential, and Lithium Citrate (In Tablets, Effervescent) is recommended if calcareous deposits are likely to occur.

Antistreptococcic Serum Is the sheet anchor in the malignant form.

ENTERITIS, See DYSENTERY and DIARRHEA.

EPIDIDYMITIS.

Rest, elevation of pelvis and support of testicles.

To combat the great pain, ide-bag and local applications of nitrate of silver and tincture of iodine are useful ; Chlor- Anodyne internally. To guard against sterility from infiltration during resolution, applications of beat, moisture, pressure, iodine, oleate of mercury and belladonna may be employed, with the Internal admin- istration of potassium Iodide.

EPILEPSY.

Teaspoenfal doses three times a day of Elixir No. 107 (Potassium bromide, 80 grs.) meet exactly the indications of treatment and will

24 TflEBAPBUTIC SUGOBSTIONS.

cause less gastric disturbance than most preparations. The dose should be increased as the demands of the case from the frequency and severity of attacks necessitate. Physiological effects rather than grainage regulate the amount in chronic forms.

Excellent results from Chloretone in Jacksonian epilepsy sug- gest its possible value in grand mal. Favorable reports have been made on Horse Nettle (Solanum carolinense) , administered in large doses ; the sedative principle is present in either berries or root (Fluid Extract No. 251 or No. 555).

Occasionally the mixed bromides act well, as do digitalis and belladonna with bromides. Cannabis indica (physiologically tested) has promise. Other drugs used are chloral, chloroform, acetanilid, amyl nitrite, and camphor monobromated.

EPISTAXIS.

When this is to be controlled, Fluid Extract Ergot (dose 1 drachm), aconite and yeratrum vlrideare sometimes used internally. Aseptic Ergot injected into the nostril has given good results.

A styptic action is secured by the local application of antipyrin, 1 per cent, solution, and Monsel's solution; or Adrenalin chloride in appropriate dilution. Plugging of the nares and ice to the nose may control the hemorrhage.

EPITHELIOMA.

Erysipelas and bacillus prodlgiosus toxins (Coley) has produced good results in inoperable cases.

As a caustic, acid nitrate of mercury is applied on a glass rod.

Arsenous acid is likewise used.

*

ERYSIPELAS.

Antistreptococcic Serum has revolutionized the treatment of this disease, and should be used early and In every case.

The older remedies, as iron chloride and antipyretics, cannot be compared with the serum. Local disinfection, and Ichtbyol dress- ings with tonics in convalescence, are part of the plan of treatment.

EXHAUSTION.

Treatment consists not only in stimulation but feeding -and protection from exposure.

Coca Cordial and Esencla de Coca are well exhibited and may be combined with Liquid Acid Phosphate.

EXOPHTHALMIC GOITRE.

Medicinal treatment is notoriously uncertain.

Thymus Glands and Suprarenal Glands have of late received attention in tixis disease, and their action merits thorough trial In all cases.

Strophanthus, ergot, belladonna and sparteine are recommended to regulate the vascular dteturbance and hold the disease in check, but there is no unity of opinion.

THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 25

FAINTING.

Alcohol In some form, and aromatic spirits of ammonia, are most efPectire. Inhalations of ammonia, and cold water thrown in the face, are common expedients.

FEET, SWOLLEN, TENDER AND SWEATING.

First Olaaa, — From too little or too mnch exercise or from goaty tendencies. Tablet Triturate ^o. 2 (Arsenoos Acid, 1-50 gr.) often does good. Witch Hazel (concentrated, distilled extract), dose 1 drachm, is of service.

Second Class. — Qongestion from standing, walking, bad shoes or bruising. Removal of the cause is of prime iqiportance. Local application of salicylic acid and borax in glycerin and water, or of a weak solution of Euformol, forms the best treatment.

See also "Bromidrosis.'*

FELON.

Ung. hydrarg. nitratls or a solution of silver nitrate applied early may abort

As a poultice, bread crumbs saturated with liquor plumbl snh- acetatis are very efficient.

FEVER.

Most antipyretic drugs act both upon the dissipation and pro- duction of heat, as acetanllid, antlpyrln, carbolic add, salicylic acid, and quinine. Cold sponging has a similar action.

The great group of cardiac sedatives, so far as is known, merely dissipate the heat.

Acetanilid, antlpyrln, and possibly phenacetin, are the most employed and are of far greater value in the sthenic fevers than In the adynamic types.

FIBROIDS.

Thyreoids, by influence on pelvic hyperemia, has demonstrated a peculiar value to control the growth of fibroid tumors of the uterus. Fluid Extract Ergot Is competent to fulfill all the claims made for this drug as an expulsive and curative agent.

FLATULENCE.

This symptom of indigestion must be referred for treatment not only to the portion of the digestive tract involved but to the kind of food which has not been converted by the juices and hence causes the fermentation. (See "Indigestion.") The sjrmptomatic treat- ment consists in the use of carminatives, turpentine, camphor, and Hoffman's Anodjme.

FRECKLES AND CHLOASMA.

Bichloride of mercury, 8-4 gr. In 1 os. of water, night and morn Ing to point of irritation. Saturated solution of boric add for children. Lactic acid, 2 per cent, solution. Hydrogen dioxide is sometimes efllcaelous.

26 THERAPRUTIC SUGGESTIONS.

FURUNCLES, See BOILS.

GALACTORRHEA.

Firm compression of the gland, with the application of bella- donna ointment or the internal administration of potassium iodide or ergot, are the measures to be relied upon.

The establishment of the menstrual flow may stop the flow of milk.

. GANGRENE.

Mercurol (nucleide of mercury) in 1-2 to 2 per cent, aqueous solution, locally applied, is an agent of positive power, stimulating the antiseptic resources of the system at the same time that it establishes the mercurial influence. Bromine and nitric acid are the escharotics used. In pulmonary gangrene, sprays of carbolic acid and creosote may do good.

GASTRALGIA.

Btage of Attack.— Arom&tlc and locally stimulating warm Infu- sions ; a few drops of chloroform ; hot whiskey or brandy ; Tincture Opium, V. S. P. (assayed), 30 drops; Chlor- Anodyne.

Interim. — Regulation of diet and dress, Abandonment of tea, coffee or tobacco, and general hygiene. Arsenic and iron immediately after meals. In some cases nothing acts so well as cod-liver oil in palatable form, as Egg Emulsion. Where pdln is severe it is well to exhibit bismuth and pepsin an hour and a half after meals, as afforded by Elixir No. 89 (Pepsin and Bismuth). Disturbances of the bowel and nervous system require attention.

GASTRIC CATARRH, ACUTE.

Regulation of diet, and restriction of it during height of attack. Milk and lime-water. , Sodium bicarbonate with Elixir No. 57 (Gen- tian, 20 grs.) may be advantageously employed during convales- cence. Pepsin Cordial In small doses is efficient.

GASTRIC CATARRH, CHRONIC.

Regulation of diet and counter- irritation to epigastrium.

The remedies internally are bismuth subnitrate, sodium bicar- bonate, silver nitrate. Extract Hyoscyamns (standard 0.5 per cent, alkaloids). Constipation is best relieved by cascara sagrada as Cordial or Fluid Extract No. 117 or No. 536. In atrophy of the tubules, hydrochloric acid is of great value ; and to remove mucus, Carlsbad water is of benefit.

GASTRIC ULCER.

Total abstinence from oral feeding, with rectal alimentatlon» may, as pain disappears, be followed by careful feeding by the month. Rest is demanded. Drug treatment is palliative to pain and curative. Counter-irritation, sodium bicarbonate, bismuth sub- nitcate or subcarbonate, and when necessary morphine or codeine.

Nitrate of silver and Extract Hyoscyamus (assayed) is one of

THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 27

tile best methods of treatment. For bematemesiSt Soluble Elastic Capsule No. 84 or No. 49 (Turpentine Oil), four times a day, is one of tbe best remedies. Chloride of iron and ergot. Aseptic Ergot if medicines cannot be taken per os^

Operative measures in suitable cases.

GASTRITIS, ACUTE.

If seen sufficiently early empty the stomach of irritating food.

Mucilaginous drinks and albuminous material are especially use- ful.

Tincture Opium; U. S. P. (assayed), is Invaluable to allay the pain. Chloretone Is decidedly analgesic.

Apply heat oyer epigastrium, and guard against collapse.

GASTRO-ENTERITIS.

The measures are analogous to those of acute gastritis. Mor- phine, castor oil, magnesium sulphate and hot compresses have their special indications.

GASTRO-INTESTINAL CATARRH.

Alkaline mineral waters are useful purgatives.

In the presence of fermentation, salicylic acid; fluid extract hydrastis (standard 2.5 per cent, hydrastine) if due to alcoholic cause ; gentian and sodium bicarbonate are also useful agents.

GIDDmESS.

Cod-liver Oil, Improved Lofoten; quinine, ergot (physiologically tested), and bromides are most useful.

GLANDS, DISEASED.

Internally cod-liver oil (the pure product of the Lofoten Islands, or Egg Emulsion) and potassium iodide (as contained and enhanced in Syrup Trifolium Compound).

Local inunctions of oleate of mercery or ichthyol are valuable. Should caseation and suppuration occur, surgery must step In.

GLEET.

Injections of bichloride of mercury or preferably Mercurol (nucleide of mercury) exercise a powerful InJ^uence over the Infec- tion and discharge. Soluble Elastic Capsules containing Santal Oil (pure, distilled from East India wood), Turpentine Oil, Copaiba and Cubeb are the best internal medicaments.

GOITRE, See BRONCHOCELE.

GONORRHEA, ACUTE.

InfeetioM. — ^Mercnrol (nucleide of nercury) is safe and exercises a powerful destmcti've Influence on the gonoeoccus. Bichloride of mercury Is more 'irritating but a powerful germicide. Permanganate of potassium^ nitrate of silver, and hydrastis (standardised), are frequently used. Nargol (nucleide of silver) is prompt and efficient.

IntemaUy. — ^The accepted drugs are santal oil, copaiba, cttbeb, and saw palmetto. Elegant and convenient forms of administration

are : Globules of Saatal Oil, 5 mininui ; Globules of Saw Palmetto and Santal Oils; Soluble Elastic Capsules containing tbete agents. Methylene Blue, with copaiba, santal oil, and oil of cinnamon (S. E. Capsule No. 162) is highly commended. Bicarbonate of soda and potassium citrate to render urine but slightly acid.

Ayoidance of liquors, coition, and stimulating foods, is abso- lutely necessary.

GONORRHEA, CHRONIC.

Introduction of sounds to cause free dilatation, and the applica- tion of nitrate of silver to the urethral membrane by solution or the Ultzmann apparatus, is the approved treatment. Complications require special consideraticm.

GOUT.

Colchicum, the specific, the value of which is dependent upon colchicine alone, is elegantly and conveniently prescribed and administered in the scientific combination. Globules of Colchicine with Methyl Salicylate. Lithium Citrate, EfTervescent, in granulax or tablet form, aids in purging the system of the gouty taint. Mor- phine may have to be resorted to hypodermatlcally for relief of pain.

Iodide of potassium and arsenic are sometimes used, and the insdtainia yields to bromides. Locally, iodine, peppermint oil and lithium citrate are employed.

HEMOPTYSIS.

Adrenalin Chloride Solution (1 :1000) in doses of 5 to 30 minims. I Ergot (physiologically tested) in full doses. Gallic acid is prefer- able to tannic acid In this affection. Counter-irritation to chest, regulated diet with supporting measures to those predisposed, and rest, are essential points.

HEMORRHAGE, POST-PARTUM.

Adrenalin Chloride Solution (1 :1000) In doses of 5 to 30 minims. Friction and kneading of abdominal wall, Ergot Aseptic hypoder- matlcally, and alternate intra-uterlne douches of hot and cold water.

HEMORRHOIDS.

The medicinal treatment cont^ts In the nse of Witch Haa^ (concentrated distilled extract), lead- water and tincture opium, and gallic acid. Cleanliness and prompt rednetion <if protrtidln^ vessels are of first importance. An ointment composed of Chloretone and pure, fresh lard affords prompt relief from the pain. Cascara sagra^a for constipation.

80 THERAPEUTIC STJGMJESTIONS.

E^

HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS.

Usually from alcoholism, which see. Iodide of potassium is a most useful agent in dose of 5 to 10 grains three times a day. Solution Sodium Phosphate, concentrated. Chloride of gold and sodium (Pill No. 759).

HEPATITIS, ACUTE.

Rest in recumbent position. Cantbaridal or mustard plasters. Small fractional doses of calomel followed by a saline, if bowels are confined. Diuretic remedies are in order, and Vichy in moderate quantities.

HEPATITIS, CHRONIC AND SUBACUTEw

Strong nltro-murlatic acid externally, and internally in dbses of three or four drops three times a day. Is the best remedy.

HICCOUGH.

In obstinate singultus from over-irritation, spirits of chloroform (a few drops), tincture of capsicum (a few drops), spirit of cam- phor, tincture of valerian, Hoffman's Anodyne, musk (10 grs. by rectum), oil of amber, and amyl nitrite (by inhalation).

When it comes on after meals, from indigestion, • treatment should be addressed to the cause.

HYDROCEPHALUS. Iodide of potassium to promote absorption of fluids.

HYSTERIA.

Camphor monobromated. Elixir No. 107 (Potassium bromide). Elixir No. 127 (BroiAide Compound), Pill No. 5&5 (Quinine, Iron, and Zinc valerianates). Bromide of calcium and hops are also used. Elixir No. 2, Ammonium valerianate, is excellent.

IMPOTENCE.

In the absence of organic trouble cannabis indlca and ergot (standardized by physiological test) with strychnine or nux vomica are employed with advantage. Cantharides, damiana, iron, phos^ phorus and Gold Solution are sexual stimulants and bphrodlslacs.

INCONTINENCE OF URINE.

Remove any reflex causes, as worms or redundant prepuce. The use of alkalies renders irritating urine mild and bland. Belladonnv Is of value later. When enuresis is dependent upon weakness in the tplnal centres, treatment should be directed to this condition by the use of arsenic and nux vomica. Cantharis Is best employed in nerroos cases. The incontinence of distention is relieved by the catheter.

INDIGESTION.

In every case the cause must be sought, that treatment may be rational and well directed. Diet must be speciflcally prescribed.

THEaAPBUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 81

Qastrio, — ^For the distress due to lack of coxiT«nioii of starcbe^. ^

there is no agent comparable to Taka-Diastase. Gastric digestion is assisted by pepsin and hydrochloric acid when those secretions art- deficient. Hyperacidity is counteracted by alkalies, as sodium bicar- bonate. The peptic glands are stimulated by the simple and aro- matic bitters, as gentian, quassia, quinine, cascarilla, and nuz vomica. Atony yields best to hydrochloric acid and wine of condu- rango. Acidity from fermentation requires antifermentatlyes and antiseptics, as sodium hyposulphite, salicylic acid, and creosote.

IntesUnal. — ^The artificial ferments are Pancreatin and Ox Gall. Flatulence is treated by antiseptics, such as salol ; by carminatives, such as cardamom ; and by nitric acid. Nuz vomica is the Ideal remedy in the atonic state,' and cascara sagrada In tonic doses to ^ promote peristalsis. Enteric coating of pills has made treatment of the intestines definite and more accurate.

INFLAMMATION.

Topical applications consisj: of cold, poultice, lead and opium wash, and turpentine stupe.

Internal medication calls for such remedies as veratrum vlride and tartar emetic In sthenic cases, and cannabis indica (physiologi- cally tested) in cbronip types.

INFLUENZA.

In the early stages of rigor and hyperpyrexia the body secretions should be started by such agents as calomel, salines, and effer- vescing fever mixtures containing aconite.

The coal-tar products, phenacetin (preferably) and acetanilld, fulfill a safer function from the standpoint of analgesics than as antipyretics.

For the depression there is no drug equal to strychnine given to full physiological effect.

The agents commonly employed for the catarrhal symptoms are : benzoin In steam. Inhalations, ipecac, ammonium chloride, santal oil, and cubeb. ' •

In excessive cough, terpin hydrate and codeine (Chocolate Coated Tablet No. 203, or Elixir No. ISO). Cannabis Indica (physi- ologically tested) gives most excellent results. Tablet Triturates of Heroin are also indicated ; begin with No. 744. Codeine Cough Sedative is a valuable combination.

Bromides and cannabis Indica for vertigo, Chloretone or bro- mides for sleeplessness, and for constipation the following : Solu- tion Sodium Phosphate (concentrated), Fluid Extract No. 117 (Cascara Sagrada), Ellzlr No. 125 (Aloln, Belladonna and Strych- nins CoMpomid).

INSOMNIA.

Sulphonal, trional, potassium bromide, valerian and chloral are among the remedies commonly ' resorted to until the definite cause ^

can be ascertained. Chloretone is often elfective when other hyp-

notice fail, possMsing also the added advantage that it does not depress the heart.

A most satisfactory routine treatment is Biizir No. 127 (Bromtcle Compound).

INTERMITTENT FEVER.

As quinine, the specific, acts better when the bowels are lax, calomel and podophyllin should precede it by several hours.

Arsenic is used^ sometimes in the Intermissions. Cool drinloi are comforting in the fever stage. Methylene blue possesses anti- malarial properties (Chocolate-coated Tablet No. 264 or No. 265).

IRITIS.

Atropine is the most important local agent.

Syphilitic and rheumatic causes demand appropriate treatment.

Saline laxatives are frequently administered during the course

of the disease.

«

JAUNDICE.

Calomel, 1-16 gr. every half -hour, up to a grain.

NASAL CATARRH, See CATARRH OF AIR-PASSAGES.

NAUSEA.

HofTman's Anodyne (compound spirit of ether) is especially useful when nausea is due to excessive use of tobacco. Hydrocyanic acid, dilute (dose 2 drops in water), or lime water is often of service. Chioretone, 8 to 15 grs., is very effective, and, if given about half an hour before the administration of chloroform or ether, prevents the nausea so common after general anesthesia.

THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 85

NEPHRITIS, ACUTE.

Rest In bed; leeches or cupping over loins If urine is scanty. Aconite,- bromides or opium quiet restlessness. In hematuria, can- nabis indica (physiologically standardized) is of great ' service.

Atropine, 1-6 gr. hypodermatlcally ; external heat. In second stage, digitalis hypodermatlcally. Transfusion of Saline Solution, concentrated, sterilized (diluted to normal 0.6 per cent).

SMALLPOX. •

Prophylaxis means Aseptic Vaccine. •

Treated as any fever, by eflfervesclng mixtures, as Vichy or po- tassium citrate. Bromides and chloral for restlessness or insomnia. Syrup Iron Chloride (Weld) is the remedy to harbor the strength of the patient for the onset of the secondary fever on the eighth day. Stimulants as needed.

The glycerite of starch. In thick coating, Is used on the eruption to prevent pitting, as Is salicylic acid (4 per cent, in cold cream).

THBBAPBUTIC SVUUBSTIONfi. 48

SORES.

Formaldehyde Solution 40-per-ceQt., diluted, Baformol, sallcyiic acid, oxides of mercury, potaasiam permanganate, charcoal and Iodo- form are prominent remedlea for treating aorea of varlona kinds.

Germicidal Soap is an ideal antiseptic. Bnthymol Cream is an excellent application.

SORE THROAT, Sbe PHARYNGITIS.

SPASMS.

Cannabis Indlca, hyoecyamus, belladonna and gelsemium are commonly used. Bromides, conium, ether and amyl nitrite also ex- ercise controlling influences In spasmodic contractions.

SPERMATORRHEA, See EMISSIONS.

SPRAINS, See BRUISES.

STINGS a:nd bites.

Dilute alkaline liquids; ammonia or bichloride of mercury, 1 part in flexible collodion 1000 parta.

In snake-bite the wound should be filled with potassium perman- ganate diluted three-fourths with water, and the solution also in- jected hypodermatically about the wound, and followed by alcohoi by the mouth. Internally, Fluid Extracts No. 124 (Cedron seed) and No. 187 (Echinacea angustifolla) ar« reputed to be of Talue.

STOMATITIS.

Euthymol, Euformol and borax make efficient mouth-washes. Potassium chlorate is of yalue internally, unless kidneys are In- flamed. Keep bowels, liver and kidneys active.

SUBINVOLUTION.

Ergot, cannabis Indlca, digitalis and clmiclfuga assist involution by correcting the various inhibiting causes.

Curettage may be necessary, from retained decidua.

SUNSTROKE.

In thermic fever, ice to <ihest, back, and abdomen. Venesection is the best treatment if face is cyanotic and heart laboring and If meningitis threatens after thermic fever. Veratrum vlride if meningitis threatens. Hot baths or hot bottles In heat exhaustion. Tonics during convalescence.

SYNCOPE. Ammonia if due to shock or indigestion.

44 THBRAPBUTIC SUaOBSTIONB.

SYPHILIS.

Mercary is begun as soon as secondary symptoms appear. The forms used are protiodlde, bine mass, bichloride, and mercury with chalk; the first is preferred. BTery aTenne may be employed. Cephalalgia is treated by calomel 1>6 grain every two hours.

In the third stage iodide of potassium is Indicated with or wlth> out mercury. These drugs may be added to, and conyeniently and pleasantly administered In, the excellent vegetable alterative, Syrup Trifollum Compound.

Tonic and general treatment must also be observed.

TAPE-WORM, See WORMS.

TEETHING. Bromide of potassium to prevent convulsions. Lancing of gums.

TETANUS.

Anti-tetanic Serum is of Incalculable value if administered soon after the wound is received. The Insidious action of the poison often causes the system to be overwhelmed beyond aid by the time the spasms occur.

TONSILLITIS.

Bowels should be opened by a saline, which may be preceded by calomel. Light diet and a diuretic fever mixture. Syrup Iron Chloride (Weld), salicylates and guaiac are of benefit Chocolate- coated Tablet No. 152 (Tonsillitis).

Locally, ice-bag or hot fomentations and inunctions of camphor- ated oil are valuable measures.

The presence of abscess calls for prompt evacuation of pus.

TORPOR.

In hepatic torpor potassium acetate, ammonium chloride, citric acid, euonymus, hyp6phosphites, nltro-murlatic acid, and taraxacum. Arsenic in gastric torpor. Torpidity of skin and kidneys calls for baths.

TORTICOLLIS. Gelsemium internally, and atropine injected Into the muscle.

TREMOR. Hyoscine and sparteine give the best results.

TUBERCULOSIS.

Aside from the highly important laws of prophylaxis and hygienic measures, the efficient medicinal preparations are not numerous.

In th^ pre-tubercular stage of phthisis, its nourishing and mild alterative effects make cod-liver oil (Improved Lofoten or Bgg Emulsion) of great and peculiar value. Wines of cod-liver oil are worthless.

THBBAPBUTIC SUGGESTIONS. 45

Nuclein Solution (6 per cent, and No. 2) Is very useful in the early stages of the disease, while the recuperatire powers are yet susceptible of stimulation. Capsules of pure Nuclelnic Acid are equally eiBcaclous and are preferred by many patients.

In proportion to the Inflammatory element Is Antistreptococcic Serum of avail, and Antltubercle Serum is calculated to Inhibit the proliferation of the bacilli and limit their destructlye action.

Creosote, gualacol, and sulphuric acid are glyen. Cannabis In- dica (a true product) Is yery efficient in the excessiye cough.

Laryngeal phthisis is well treated by topical apj>Iicatlons of lac- tic acid (10 per cent.), and Iodoform insufflation.

•

TYPHOID FEVER.

Treatment In general resolves Itself Into meeting any special Indications as they arise ; in thorough disinfection of all dejecta by Euformol; and in aiding the flagging powers to withstand the ex- haustion. Alcohol, milk diet, and regulation of the secretions, are the headlines of the treatment

Abortive treatment by the Woodbrldge Method has yielded most excellent results, bat must be instituted earjly.

Nuclein Solution, 5 per cent., Is used with striking benefit not only in mild but in very severe cases.

Numerous drugs have been employed and many theories advanced which the scope of this work makes impossible of consideration here.

ULCERS.

*

In indolent ulcers bismuth benzoate, burnt alum, chlmaphila, copper oleate, europhen, witch hazel (concentrated distilled ex- tract), nitric acid in solution, and potassium permanganate are useful dressings. Nargol is one of the most efficient applications.

Escharotics are : Caustic potash, lime, nitric acid, and sulphuric add.

Infection may be overcome, especially In syphilitic ulcers, by washing with Germicidal Soap.

UREMIA.

For the convulsions, bromides and chloral, conveniently prescribed in Elixir No. 127 (Bromide Compound). A measure of great value is transfusion — Saline Solution, concentrated, sterilized, being di- luted €o the normal strength.

Elaterlum and pilocarpine, to eliminate the poison, and strych- nine and digitalis for heart failure. Venesection and hot pack are very useful.

URIC-ACID DIATHESIS.

Granular effervescent salts (Aperient, Laxative Lithia, Lithium benzoate, Sedium phosphate. Sodium salicylate) to promote metas- tasis and flush the lymphatic system. Regulation of diet, exercise, and cascara sagrada in laxative doses.

46 THERAPEUTIC SUGGESTIONS.

UTERINE INERTIA. Kola Cordial and Kola Wine are most ntsefnl.

UVULA, RELAXED.

Equal parts of glycerin and fluid extract hamamelis as a gargle. Astringent gargles, as of kino. Red Gam lozenges.

VJ^RTIGO, See AURAL VERTIGO.

VOMITING.

It is highly important to bear in mind the various causes that* excite this symptom.

If cerebral disease, prescribe Chloretone, or acetanilld with brandy, and potassium bromide and laudanum by rect^im.

In gastric excitability, Chloretone, cocaine and .aconite, chloro- form, hydrocyanic acid, and nitroglycerin.

In gastric debility, Ipecac and nux vomica.

In pregnancy, Chloretone, cerium oxalate, cocaine, creosote, men^ thol cocaine, and Granular Effervescent Caffeine and Potassium bromide. »

Care in the administration of food is of great importance.

WHOOPING COUGH.

Antipyrin, i^ to 3 grs., is a most efficient remedy.

Chloretone, ^ to 4 grs., is recommended.

Belladonna is very useful, with cardiac stimulants or sedatives as occasion demands.

Chocolate-coated Tablet No. 189 (Whooping Cough, No. 5).

A whiff of chloroform or amy! nitrite Is called for if paroxysm interferes with respiration.

Benzin has been found useful sprinkled about the room, and a steam-laden atmosphere has been found to modify the severity and frequency of attacks. Bromoform renders good service.

WORMS.

Aaoari8 luinJ>ricoide8, round worm. — Fluid Extract No. 360 (Spl- gella), 1 to 2 drachms; may be combined with senna. Oil of cheno- podium, 5 to 10 drops. Santonin, % to % gr., to which calomel may be added.

Tenia 8oUum, tape-worm. — Fluid Extract No. 270 (Kousso); should not be used in pregnancy. Soluble Elastic Capsule No. 44 (Male- fern and Kamala). Pomegranate and pumpkin seeds in emul- sion. Calomel, salines and castor oil are the adjuvants to these teniacides.

Owyuris vermioularis, seat ttrornt.— Injection of decoction of quassia.

WEIGHT AND MEABUBB EQUIVALENTS.

WEIGHT AND MEASURE ECyJIVALENTS.

These tables, for the use of physidaos, chemists, pharmacists and others, are designed to economize time and labor, and ensure accuracy in calculations relating to Weight and Measure.

When making use of the equivalents, for most practicable purposes one or more figures beyond the decimal point may be dropped— according to the degree of accuracy required— «r, if any figure of the second or third decimal place is five or more, the preceding figure can be increased by one. The same method may be applied to the results of calculations.

APPROXIMATE MEASURES.

These are subject to consid«:ttble elasticity of interpretati<»i owing to the varying sizes of the utensils in use, but the following are understood to be the quantities intended when the popular names are employed :

A teaspoonful 1 fiuidrachm.

A dessertspoonful. 2 fluidrachms. A tablespoonful. . . ^ fluidounce.

A wineglassful 2 fiuidonnces.

A teacupful 4 fiuidounces.

A tumblerful. 8 fiuidounces.

Dose, % to 1 fluidrachm (1 to 4 Cc.) in a glass of sweetened water. In half -pint, pint, and half -gal Ion bottles.

ACONITE.

AcoNiTUM Napbllus^ LlnuS. Poisonous. — A powerful cardiac and nervous sedative, which may be classed also as an arterial sedative. Employed in fevers as a diaphoretic and to reduce the heart's action, effects that are best induced by minute doses frequently repeated : also employed in cardiac hypertrophy, neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, etc.

Antidotes. — Digitalis is universally recognized as being the hest antidote, though in many instances the aconite acts so rapidly, and digitalis so slowly, that the patient dies of the one l>efore he gets the benefit of the other. Sustain vitality by stimulants — ether, whiskey, ammonia, strong coffee, strychnine, the battery, etc. It is doubtful whether it is wise to give strong emetics, except in extreme cases, since the efforts at vomiting may cause heart failure.

Adrenalin, the blood-pressure^raising principle of the suprarenal gland, is the most powerful hemostatic and astringent known, a solution of 1 part Adrenalin in 10»000 parts water will blanch the conjunctiva in from 80 to 60 seconds. The making of aqueous solu- tions from the crystals is a matter of some difficulty, but this is overcome In our Solution Adbenalin Chlobidb, 1 :1000. Applied to the nares in hay fever, to the tonsils, larynx or pharynx in inflamma- tion of these organs, to the .throat and nasal mucous membrane in coryza, to the eye in conjunctivitis, iritis, etc., to the ear and the eustachian orifice in otitis media, to the urethra In stricture or non- specific urethritis, and on any mucous surface prior to surgical opera- tions, its action is both prompt and lasting. It instantly reduces the congestion, sealing up the capillaries and either preventing or checkl hemorrhage therefrom. Apply by means of an atomizer. In the r

ANTIDIPHTHERITIC SERUM. [diphtheria antitoxin.]

Prepared with all possible care and skill; every precaution known to bacteriological science is taken to insure its purity and reliability, and careful, exact experiments are conducted in our Bacteriological Depart- ment in order to determine its value in antitoxic units. The containers are glass bulbs, hermetically sealed, the labels of which are numbered according to the dose within, which ranges from 500 units (for immuni- zation and for/ mild cases) to 3000 units (for very severe laryngeal or complicated cases).

The antitoxic strength of our Standard or "X** serum is never less than 200 to 500 units per cubic centimeter. We also supply a Special or "XX" serum testing over 500 units per Cc.

ANTISTREPTOCOCCIC SERUM.

It is generally admitted that erysipelas, puerperal fever and certain

other forms of septicemia are due to the presence of streptococci in the

blood. The logic of serum therapy would indicate that a scientifically

prepared Antlsteptococcic Serum might be of value In these conditions

as well as in the septic complications of tuberculosis, scarlet fever, etc.

Following this indication a number of experiments have been made,

with especially gratifying success In the treatment of erysipelas. Mar-

morek, who was the first to produce an antistreptococcic serum, directs

that 10 to 20 Cc. be administered as an initial dose, to be repeated

as long as may be nece^ary. Much larger amounts have been

apparent benefit — as much as 60 Cc. per day, divided into 10-Cc. ^

In boxesS<^iiree sealed bulbs of 10 Cc. each.

[TITETANIC SERUM.

tTErrA»rxxc ANTITOXIN.] Good results are reported from^i^ xise of this serum in cases which exhibited unmistakable symptoms of tetanic poisoning, but the reports are not uniformly favorable. The remedy possesses unquestionable value as a preventive, administered before the disAase announces itself; later, to be of service, it must be given in large dosea, and even then is only an experimental resource. Dose, as a prophylactic, 10 Cc; after symptoms have developed, 10 to 40 Cc. daily.

Liquid, in boxes containing three sealed bulbs of 10 Cc. each.

Dry, in vials containing the equivalent of 30 Cc. liquid.

Antitetanio Serum, Veterinary, in ounce vials. Dose, as a prophy- lactic, 1 ounce; after symptoms have developed, 4 ounces or more at intervals of 12 to 24 hours.

ANTITUBERCLE SERUM.

Our Antltubercle Seram is elaborated In the tissues of healthy horses during sereral months of treatment with gradually increasing quan- tities of tubercle toxins. The good results which hare been reported by Maragliano In Italy and Stubbert and others in America In the treat> ment of broncho-pneumonia and tuberculosis make it appear probable that setum therapy in snch affections will proTe to be something more than a passing fad. The dose Is from 10 to 60 minims dally, giyen hypodermatlcally, commencing with the smaller quantity and gradually Increasing. The strictest asepsis must be observed.

In cases containing 10 bulbs of 1 Cc, 2 Cc. and 4 Cc. each.

ANTISEPTIC LIQUID.

A colorless solution haying a faint aromatic odor. Combines all the requisites for a household antiseptic. Its constituents are the chlorides of aluminum, sodium, magnesium, calcium and zinc, with eucalyptus and wintergreen oils. In quart bottles.

ANTISEPTIC SOAP, ETHEREAL (Johnston).

An ethereallzed hydro-alcoholic solution of Castile soap, devised by Mr. J. Johnston, of the Jefterson Medical College Hospital of Philadel- phia. This liquid soap readily penetrates to every crevice of the hands, may he quickly removed by either cold or warm water, has a pleaaant odor and great cleansing powers, and in fact presents all the charac- teristics that recommend for general toilet use, particularly where grease Is to be removed.

It is strongly recommended for its general antiseptic and disinfectant properties, and has been found useful as a head-wash and parasiticide.

After extensive experimentation we have succeeded In producing a red Apiol in such form that one part is equivalent to 100 parts of seed or 30 parts of green Apiol.

The low melting point of this camphoraceous body does not permit

its exhibition In the crystalline form with any degree of permanency,

and we have therefore added to our list Red Apiol In Soluble flllastlc

Capsules, each containing 3 minims of a 75% solution. The therapeutic

properties are described under the heading "Parsley.'*
