WAUGH, i893- PREFACE. r» ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 4 qpj LU HE rapidity with which the Outline of Dosimetric Practice was taken up has compelled me, in less than a year, to prepare a more extended work upon the same lines. The material of the Outline is included in the Manual, but the additions so far outweigh the original matter as to constitute a new book. In this little volume I have endeavored to bring together as many therapeutic suggestions as I could collect. The works of Ringer, War- ing, *Brunton, Trousseau, /Jubler, Shoemaker, Potter, and have been gleaned ; and this general acknowledgment must be taken in lieu of specific references, which, in a work of this kind, would take up too much space. The book may b'e'tcmsidered a collection of specific indications for the use of remedial agents, which, at some future day, may be elaborated into a system. The dosimetric sys- 3 tem, by familiarizing the profession with the use of active principles, has done much in fur- thering this cause. Specific medication pre- supposes specific diagnosis, and thus two objects are accomplished by the use of these instru- ments of precision. It is, in fact, the substitu- tion of the rifle, with its accuracy of aim and certainty of results, for the shotgun of general principles. Many drugs, too valuable to be discarded, have not yet been presented to us in the form of active principles. I have included these, and many salts, in my list. The limits of the work compel me to restrict it to such remedies as can be administered in the form of granules. It is not intended for a complete treatise on practice. Indications which appear of doubtful value are placed in parenthesis; the reader getting the suggestion, to be tested if he desires. All items not in parenthesis are from good authori- ties, or based on evidently reasonable grounds. To avoid confusion between the preparations, the alkaloids, glucosides, resins, neutral prin- ciples and concentrations, are designated by appropriate abbreviations. Remedies intended to be given in unison are bracketed. Where a number of drugs is mentioned, the note as to their use applies to all in the group. When a drug has been recommended without 4 any specification, it is simply named at the end of the list. In conclusion, I desire to urge upon my readers the importance of putting these indica- tions to the test and recording the results. If the active practitioners of this country were to do this, confirming, rejecting, adding to, par- ticularizing, these practical suggestions, we would see the system of practical therapeusis coming into existence that every one desires; where certainty would take the place of the present vague and experimental methods. 5 DRUGS: ACTION AND USES.

To sustain the heart if it weakens; and this must be looked for most carefully. 124 The local treatment of diphtheria is all inr portant; so that all internal medication must be considered of secondary import- ance. Chlorine and peroxide of hydrogen lotions, used 15 to 30 minutes ; chromic acid for epistaxis ; nitrate of silver, 1 per cent., for coryza, to abort nasal diph- theria, are hints out of place here, but which I must mention. DROPSY In all cases where dropsy is due to hydremia, the best practice is to keep up the blood by such remedies as the above; with good rich food and good hy- giene ; whereas the use of evacuants will sap the strength and shorten life. Calcium lactophos.. Quinine sulph., Iron phosphate. Strychnine arseniate, Brucine, Hydrastine, Sparteine, Adonidin, Convallamarin, Caffeine, Cactine, Cytisine.

These diuretics or hydragogues may be given in hepatic dropsy when the strength is suf- ficient and the symptoms demand relief; or in renal dropsy when uremia is threatened. Their use should be occasional, not contin- uous, as they are not curative of the condi- tions on which the dropsy depends.

Helleborin, local anesthetic. Hydrastine, Brucine, Erythrophloeine, Barium chloride. (Dycopin, increases tension.) Strychnine. Carpaine, for aortic stenosis. Cactine, increases arterial tension. Arsenic. May be termed a heart food. It should be given in all cases to keep up the heart's nu- trition, the various salts being selected according to the case. Arsenic iodide. For syphilitic, mercurial, strumous cases. Quinine arseniate, for malarial. Iron arseniate, for anemic. Trinitrin, for dyspnea. Jalapin. Apocynin. To reduce volume of blood. Macrotin, a useful substitute for digitalis. HEART : FATTY DEGENERATION. Iron arseniate. Iron phosphate, 156 Quininejarseniate, Calcium lactophos., Manganese phosphate, Quinine hydrofer. Useful nutrient tonics, to be given together or separately ; an alternation being advis- able. Adonidin, to relieve pain. Macrotin, steadies an irregular heart. Berberine, Cactine, Strophanthine, Sparteine. Suitable stimulant tonics. The astringent tonics, strychnine, brucine, hy- drastine and digitalin, are not so well suited, except for occasional use, if the others lose their effect. A richly nutritious diet, with minimum of fluids, gives the heart the least work to do, and saves its strength. HEART: HYPERTROPHY. Veratrine. For simple hypertrophy, epileptic, tobacco heart, but not when valves are diseased, unless the compensation be excessive; also for cerebral congestion and threatened apoplexy. Aconitine. For similar cases, less active symptoms; where there is cardiac pain ; for over-action, but not if valves are diseased. Digitalin. For false hypertrophy only, with palpitation ; dangerous in simple hypertrophy or over- compensation. As weakness supervenes, digitalin becomes more and more applicable. Convallamarin, for mitral stenosis. 157 Lead acetate. Relieves palpitation, but there are better remedies. Trinitrin, for dyspnea or syncope. Ergotin. Is recommended by Bartholow for simple hypertrophy, combined with digitalis; but it is difficult to see where either can do aught but harm. Contracting the arteries, both increase the heart's labor, and thus aggravate the hypertrophy ; while the con- tractile effect on the heart's vessels only tends to produce fatty change-a very ob- jectionable method of obviating hyper- trophy. Iodine, Iodoform. Iodol, Small doses, long continued, check or dimin- ish the growth. Camphor monobrom., Lithia bromide. For tumultous palpitations and dyspnea of hypertrophy with dilatation. Iron arseniate, Caffeine arseniate. As hypertropic compensation gives way to debility. Elaterin, Croton oil. To deplete in threatening cases. HEART: PALPITATION. Bromides, Aconitine.

For nervous, and those due to cerebral ex- citement ; also for emotional. Atropine. For irregular rhythm ; cardiac strain. Eucalyptol, for weak heart. Capsicum, Cocaine. 1 For nervous and emotional I persons, alcoholics, and cases due J to coffee, tea, tobacco, venery, or j excess in exercise. Zinc valerianate, for nervous, hysteric women. Quinine arseniate, for malaria. Veratrine. For plethoric, threatening apoplexy. Colchicine. To follow preceding cases, when danger has been averted by veratrine. As palpitation is symptomatic of disease of the heart, or interference with its functions, the causal disease must be found, and treated. 159 HEART: VALVE DISEASE. Digitalin. In mitral disease, rapidity with low tension, failing compensation ; to be given not longer than a week. Sparteine, Cactine, Caffeine. To follow digitalis. Zarpaine, for mitral leaking or aortic stenosis. Morphine. For dyspnea of mitral disease, and for aortic insufficiency. Aconitine. Useful for palpitation, but dangerous in left hypertrophy with diseased valves ; best for over-compensation hypertrophy. Veratrine. For over-hypertrophy, with cerebral conges- tion. Strophanthine. To follow digitalis; better for aortic disease. Trinitrin. For cardiac pain ; relaxes blood pressure and lessens heart's work ; give it for a tense pulse. Caffeine. Tonic, diuretic; for weak heart, with headache, dyspnea, heart pains and scanty urine. Adonidin, heart regulator, increases tension. Hydrastine, Brucine. Barium chloride, General and heart tonics; lessen heart pain, increase vessel tone ; diuretic ; for relaxed pulse, dilatation and swollen veins, dropsy, muscular relaxation. 160 For congestion of venous system. Asparagin, stimulant diuretic. Combat the excessive hypertrophy ; postpone dilatation, fatty degeneration and heart fail- ure, by keeping up nutrition and lessening the heart's work to the minimum, since ex- haustion comes from work beyond an organ's capacity. Beware of digitalis for aortic sten- osis, and of giving it too long. Convallamarin. For mitral stenosis, with failing heart. Jalapin, Colocyuthiu. HECTIC FEVER. Digitalin, Emetine, Quinine, Codeine, A good combination for hectic. Amygdala amara oil. Reduces hectic without impoverishing blood or lessening appetite. Aconitine. For irritative fever and recrudescences. Phenacetine, Zinc sulphocarbolate, Sparteine, An excellent combi- nation for fever with de- bility and intestinal sep- sis.

Breine, Ergo tin, Hydrastinine, Lead acetate. Rank next to digitalin ; or may be used with it. Morphine. To allay excitement; if used for hemorrhage it should be in full doses ; in small ones it favors hemorrhage. Erigeron, Tannic acid, Hamamelin, Geranine. For passive hemorrhage. 163 Emetine, Trinitrin. To relax pulse, if tense. Lycopin, for early phthisical. Arnicin, for bleeding following injury. Aconitine. To relax tense pulse; for fever following an attack. Calcium lactophos. As hemoptysis is generally due to fragility of the vessel-walls, this salt should be given a long time, to restore them to normal strength. Iron will induce a hemorrhage, and should only be given after the lime salt has been continued for months. Pyrogallic acid. HEMORRHAGE: AND DIATHESIS. Iron tannate. For hemorrhage that has long continued, through relaxation ; but not at first; espe- cially in uterine cases. Harmful in the diathesis and active hemorrhages. Cornutine, Ergotin, Digitalin, Cactine.

For relaxed states; to close up vessels. Morphine. In desperate cases, a dose heroic in size, pro- ducing full relaxation, has saved life ; say i grain. This must not be given with any of the astringents, like ergot or strychnine, as they check hemorrhage by diametrically opposite actions. HEMORRHOIDS. Hamamelin, for bleeding piles.

Iodides, Iodoform. For persistent use. Aconitine, for joint pains. Quinine, in pyemic cases. The use of mercury is based on this statement: The specific cause of syphilis resides in the syphilitic growths. Mercury melts down and destroys the healthy tissues. The syphilitic tissues tend spontaneously to decay and death ; and a smaller dose of mercury will therefore cause their death than what is required to affect the normal tissues. The object is then to find the largest dose of mercury that can be given without affecting the healthy tissues, as shown by salivation. This done, experience shows that the dose just below that that will cause SYPHILIS. 234 salivation, may be given for years with com- parative impunity. Old pathological deposits, useless fat, etc., may be carried off; the phys- ical and mental powers will alike be powerfully stimulated, and all the vital functions carried on at a high pressure rate ; premature aging will be noted; but otherwise the health will be remarkably good.

TYPHLITIS AND PERITYPHLITIS. Morphine is probably the best remedy. Calomel, to touch gums, is recommended. TYPHOID FEVER. The habitat of the bacillus is the stomach and intestinal canal, where it breeds, and whence it pours its toxic products, and, in time, its young broods, into the circulation. Other bacteria also find a suitable nidus for their operations in the bowels, and contribute their ptomaines to intoxicate the blood, and cause the symptoms known to us as typhoid fever. To put an end to these micro-organisms and their operations, to render the gastro-intestinal canal aseptic, numerous agents have been given. Of these, I have found the sulphocarbolate of zinc preferable, because it can be given in doses sufficient to render the canal aseptic, without doing any harm to the body, locally or by ab- sorption into the blood. I have given it many times, 5 grains or io at a dose, and up to 60 grains or more iu twenty-four hours, without any perceptible harm. It is enough that it be given to render the stools odorless, and to keep 237 them so. When this is done, we cut off from the typhoid fever all symptoms due to the in- testinal operations and the absorption of pto- maines, and reduce the disease to the effects of the typhoid bacilli that have penetrated the cir- culation or the tissues. We then find our case has lost one to two degrees of fever, the tem- perature invariably falling below 103°, the point above which cold baths are recommended ; the tympanites, diarrhea, delirium, nervous symp- toms, cardiac debility, have disappeared. Pneu- monia, low delirium, hypostasis, hemorrhage, ataxy, suppuration of Peyer's glands, do not occur. The tongue becomes moist and loses its typhoid character. The disease is reduced to a harmless affair, without suppurative or other serious sequelae. The course is shortened, if this drug has been used properly from the first. It is now several years since I have had a death from typhoid fever; not one since I adopted this treatment. I therefore present it as a specific, warning my readers that they must use it from the first; but if given as a last resort, when the patient is in a desperate state and the damage has been done, no such effects can be obtained from it.

I A CONDENSED FOOD, j THE VITAL PRINCIPLES OF BEEF CONCENTRATED. Containing 20 Per Cent, of Coagulable Albumen. PALATABLE. NUTRITIOUS. PERMANENT. ECONOMICAL, flag jStood the Crucial Tegfc of Time. BOVININE was introduced to the Medical Profes- sion nearly fourteen years ago, and stands to-day far in advance of all other meat preparations as a FOOD. Actual results from its use by thousands who are prescribing it, likewise the ready and unqualified en- dorsement it receives, prove BOVININE to be the most valuable nutrient extant.
