B. KEITH & CO., PREFACE 
The publication of this hand-book has been prompted 
by repeated calls from the medical profession for some- 
thing more definite on the use of Concentrated Medicines, 
as prepared by B. Keith & Co. 
Without going into details, I have endeavored to make 
myself understood as well as possible in the space so small 
a work affords. 
In some cases, I have given prescriptions in conformity 
with my own theory and practice, and trust the profession 
will give them a trial before rendering a verdict. 
B. KEITH. TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. 
The chief objections to the employment of Crude Organic 
Medicines have been, their uncertainty as regards the 
possession of the therapeutic powers ascribed to them; 
their unreliability, from the want of uniformity of 
strength; their bulk, and consequent difficulty of admin- 
istration. All of these causes combined have brought into 
disrepute many valuable remedial agents, the therapeutic 
virtues of which would have been important additions to 
the Materia Medica. 
We base our reputation and our claims to the confidence 
and support of the profession, as heretofore, upon the 
reliable character of the concentrated medicines of our 
manufacture, and pronounce them superior to all other con- 
centrated preparations, for the following reasons:— 
1st.—They are not fractional isolations of single resin, 
resinoid, or alkaloid principles, hut are composed of the 
various proximate medicinal principles inherent to each 
plant, which, each and several, are divested of all extra- 
neous or non-medicinal admixture, and are combined in the 
same manner and proportions in which they existed in the 
plant. 
2d.—Our preparations represent the total therapeutic value 
of the plants from which they are severally derived, combin- 
ing all their proximate active constituents, and constituting 
their true concentrated equivalents. 2 
3d.—They are definite in constitution and therapeutic 
power, uniform in medicinal strength, reliable in clinical 
practice, and not liable to vary, change, or deteriorate by 
age. 
For a history of the therapeutic properties and clinical em- 
ployment of the concentrated medicines manufactured by 
us, the reader is respectfully referred to Hand Book of 
Practice, Employing Concentrated Medicines, by B. Keith, 
M. D., also, Concentrated Organic Medicines, by Grover 
Coe, M. D. 
CAUTION. 
Our Label reads—“Prepared at the Laboratory of B. 
Keith & Co., New York,” and upon the seal is impressed 
“B. Keith and Co., Organic Chemists, N. Y.” 
Only such as bear this label and seal will be warranted as 
genuine. 
We give the average doses for adult males. The modifying 
influences of age, sex, temperament, climate, etc., will con- 
stitute criterions for graduation. 
The usual average doses being given, the physician’s 
judgment will dictate the propriety of time, quantity, and 
repetition. 
DOSES. 
ADMINISTRATION. 
As a majority of these medicines are not soluble in, but 
will mix with water, we consider it the best vehicle by which 
they can be administered. If it is desirable to avoid unpleas- 
ant taste, a very convenient and superior menstrum is fur- 
nished by using the Simple Elixir, manufactured and for 
sale by us. 3 
PURITY. 
We warrant our preparations to be pure. Some have per- 
sued the plan of triturating extracts, oleo-resins, etc., with 
other substances, and advertising them by the same names as 
the pure preparations The physician does not discover the er- 
ror until he receives his medicines, and to his disappointment 
he sees that he has impure, instead of pure concentrated 
medicines. 
CONCENTRATED TINCTURES. 
For the convenience of those parties who prefer a liquid 
preparation, owing to ease of administration, and more 
promptness in action, (they being more readily assimilated 
by the system,) we have prepared the Concentrated Tinctures, 
which have been pronounced by many practitioners, to be 
superior to all other liquid preparations, such as Fluid Ex- 
tracts, Tinctures, etc. 
We have often been asked, 
“What are Concentrated Tinctures”? 
They are the active principles, dissolved in alcohol in defin- 
ite proportions, and invariably represent a uniform amount 
of therapeutic power. They are concentrated, definite solu- 
tions of the medicinal constituents of the plants from which 
they are severally derived. Therefore, Physicians will not 
he obliged to test each bottle to ascertain the dose. They are not 
made from the crude material, (because different samples 
yield different proportions of active principle.) They are 
much stronger than any other fluid preparations made from 
the same articles, differing from Fluid Extracts and so-called 
Concentrated Tinctures of other Manufacturers in mode of 
preparation. 
They are not trade mark preparations. 4 
We would also call attention to the “Simple Elixir” as 
prepared by us, to hold in solution or suspension our Con- 
centrated Tinctures, thus affording a pleasant menstrum for 
administration of same. 
Our Compound Elixirs will be found described in another 
portion of this work. 
Those who desire our articles should specify them as 
Keith’s, when ordering of the druggists. 
We would tender our sincere thanks to the medical pro- 
fession for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us for the 
the past thirty years, and at the same time present the assur- 
ance, that it shall be our aim to supply them with reliable, 
pure, and positive medicines.

CON. TINC. AYENA SATIVA. 
Derived from—Avena Sativa. 
Common names—Oats. 
Part used—The Grain. 
Properties—Nerve stimulant, (tonic, laxative and solvent, 
we believe by increase of nerve power.) 
Employment— We first prepared the active principle from 
the Oats in 1858, since which time ice have been experi- 
menting with it in different diseases, but as space will not al- 
low, can name only a few of the most important. 
It is especially valuable in the treatment of paralysis, and 
in all cases where there is a deficiency of nerve power. 
As an antidote for tlie opium and morphine hahit, it has 
proven the very best remedy. 
An immediate substitute for alcoholic stimulants, and for 
the tobacco habit. 
It is of great value in sick headache, constipation, kidney 
troubles, chorea, neuralgia of the stomach and bowels, and al- 
most a specific in cases of neuralgia of the uterus, coldness of 
different parts of the body depending upon want of nerve foi'ce 
being given with podophyllin and quinine, or podophyllin and 
hydrastin it will give relief found from no other combination. 
In painful and deficient menstruation it is invaluable, es- 
pecially in combination. (See Con. Helonias Comp.) Specially 
recommended in diseases of females when they have a burning 
feeling on top of the head. Epileptic fits are greatly relieved by 
its use. Lancinating pains, cramps, sterility of females when 
not of an organic character, diptheria, measles, scarlet fever, 
whooping cough, dysentery, diarrhea, sleeplessness, in all con- 
gestive difficulties, for loss of nerve power so common among 
ministers, lawyers, public speakers, and writers, and in fact 
in the convalescent stage of all acute diseases. 
Dose, from ten to thirty drops or more, as often as may 
be indicated to meet the urgency of the case. Would es- 
pecially recommend its administration in hot water during 
the day (as its action is so much quicker,) and in cold water 
at night on retiring, as it has a more extended influence. 
When given in hot water its action is almost instantaneous. 
An overdose causes pain at base of the brain.

and mortification, to abort typhoid fever, and in all diseases that 
have a putrescent tendency. 
It is unsafe to use during the period of utero-gestation, as 
it is capable of producing abortion. It excites the glandular 
system powerfully, which entitles it to the appellation of re- 
solvent. 
Externally it is a valuable remedy for all kinds of ulcers, 
and may be sprinkled upon the surface of the sore, made into 
an ointment, or in a poultice with elm bark.

In the treatment of scarlet fever, and malignant sore 
throat, it is a most valuable remedy, both internally and as 
a gargle. As a gargle it must be greatly diluted. As a 
rubefacient, it is an elegant remedy. It acts very speedily, 
and is not liable to produce vessication. One drachm of the 
oil, in from four to eight ounces of alcohol, makes a strong 
rubefacient liniment. In this form it is beneficially used in 
rheumatism, paralysis, sciatica, or, in very severe cases, it 
may be used of full strength.

For relieving after-pains, particularly when combined with 
Cypripedin and Scutellarin, is is very efficient. As a prepar- 
atory parturient given in moderate doses, every night at bed- 
time for several weeks previous to confinement, it allays 
cramps, false pains and other unpleasant symptoms. In 
atonic conditions of the uterus, passive hemorrhage, con- 
gestive dysmenorrhea, and prolapsus uteri, it has proved 
of much, efficacy. When used to expedite delivery in cases 
of debility, ‘fatigue or want of uterine energy, the dose should 
be repeated every thirty or sixty minutes.

morbific matter from the blood, by the mucous surface. Is a 
wonderful solvent, especially of recent adhesions, and is of 
great benefit in defibrinizing the blood.

type, all disorders of the liver, spleen, and other viscera, 
croup, pneumonia, rheumatism, both acute and chronic,

rhea, leucorrliea, opthalmia, otorrhea, and goitre. 
In large doses, say from three to five grains, Podopliyllin 
is an active emeto-cathartic; its operation is attended with 
copious bilious discharges, a lingering, death like nausea, and 
frequently with severe griping pains in the small intestines. 
Vomiting seldom occurs until from two to four hours after the medicine has been administered. From this we ieafii 
that the unpleasant symptoms arise from the acrid character 
of the morbid matters dislodged. 
It has the most remarkable power, in connection witli 
Olive Oil, of removing biliary concretions. Administer a 
full cathartic dose in combination with Euonymin and Can 
lophyllin, at night, on retiring; the following morning, as 
soon as the nausea has subsided, give from four to eight 
ounces of Olive Oil. 
It is indicated in all cases where mercurials are given, and 
usually acts like the mercurial preparations. When given 
alone, its operation as a cathartic is slow, requiring from six 
to twelve hours for its full effects. If it is desirable to pro- 
duce catharsis sooner than that, it is wTell to combine it with 
the bitartrate of Potassa, or Jalapin. Exercise caution in 
cases of inflammation or high state of irritation of the stomach 
and bowels. 
The average cathartic dose of Podophyllin is two grains; 
an emeto-cathartic dose, from three to live grains, although 
one or two grains will frequently vomit, as an alterative, 
from one-eiglitli to one-half of one grain. (See Addenda.)

As we believe the following will be of interest to the medi- 
cal profession, we re-print article (in part), as follows: 
On the Secretion of Bile as affected by 
Cholagogues. 
Dr. William Rutherford, Professor of the Institutes of Medicine 
in the University of Edinburgh, has presented a report on this subject 
to the Scientific Grants Committee of the British Medical Association 
(Brit. Med. Jour., Feb. 8, 1879), of which the following is the summary 
of results obtained: 
Podophyllin is a very powerful stimulant of the liver. During the 
increased secretion of bile, the percentage amount of the special bile 
solids is not diminished. If the dose be too large, the secretion of bile 
is not increased. It is a powerful intestinal irritant. 
Euonymin is a powerful hepatic stimulant. It is not nearly so pow- 
erful an irritant of the intestine as podophyllin. 
Sanguinarin is a powerful hepatic stimulant. It also stimulates the 
intestine, but not nearly so powerfully as podophyllin. 
Irisin is a powerful hepatic stimulant. It also stimulates the intes- 
tine, but not so powerfully as podophyllin. 
Leptandrin is a hepatic stimulant of moderate power. It is a feeble 
intestinal stimulant. 
Colocynth is a powerful hepatic as well as intestinal stimulant. It 
renders the bile more watery, but increases the secretion of biliary 
matter. 
Jalap is a powerful hepatic as well as intestinal stimulant. 
Menispermin does not stimulate the liver. It slightly stimulates the 
intestinal glands. 
Baptisin is a hepatic, and also an intestinal stimulant of considerable 
power. 
Phytolaccin is a hepatic stimulant of considerable power. It also 
slightly stimulates the intestinal glands. 
Hydrastin is a moderately powerful hepatic stimulant, and a feeble 
intestinal stimulant. 
4 Juglandin is a moderately powerful hepatic and a mild intestinal 
stimulant., HAND-BOOK OF PRACTICE. ADDENDA. 
In all cases where an active Xerve Stimulant and Tonic is 
required, 
CON. TINC. AVENA SATIVA 
will be found the remedy. For description of same, uses, 
etc., see page 1 O. 
Where a Mild Cathartic and Stimulant is required, use 
CON. AVENA COMP. 
See Page 9. 
For Mild Cathartic, dc. (where irritation should be avoid- 
ed,) use the 
PODOPHYLLIN NEUTRAL.

Morbid State of the Blood. 
Give Xanthoxylin, Oil Erigeron, Ginger, Capsicum, ete. 
as stimulants. Hydrastin, Populin, or Cerasein as tonics. 64 
Populin, Barosmin and Eupatorin Purpu as diuretics. San- 
guinarin, Phytolacin, Leptandrin, Juglandin and Collin- 
sonin as laxatives, and Gelsemin or Cypripedin to control

UILEMIA. 
For excessive excretion of urine, Cerasein, Alnuin. and 
Betin are to be given three times a day, or Geraniin, Cor- 
ninand Myricin. Capsicum plaster to be applied to the 
back. 
For undue secretion, Oil Erigeron, Xanthoxylin, Eupa- 
torin Purpu and Barosmin; as laxatives, one or more of the 
the following: Leptandrin, Collinsonin, Juglandin, Euony- 
min, Apocynin. If enemas are required use Hop Tea, 
or combined with Con. Tine. Lobelia. Gelsemin will con- 
trol excessive nervous action, relieve pain, induce sleep and 
prevent fits should there be indications of same. Hydras- 
tin and Bi-Carbonate of Soda should be given as a tonic. 
ACHOLIA.

Comp. Podopliyllin Pills every other night, followed by 
the use of Hydrastin, Alnuin, Xanthoxylin, Capsicum, 
Oil Erigeron, Phytolacin, Ptelein, Populin, Eupatorin

followed by the use of the Comp. Podophyllin Pills, every 
four or six days. Populin and other diuretics should be 
freely used. 
SCURVY. 
Alnuin, Ptelein, Hydrastin, Populin, Xanthoxylin, Oil 
Solidago and Oil Erigeron are indicated. As a drink, use 
an infusion of Cocoa Shells, at meals. I consider common 
cider the best acid, in connection with the various acid 
fruits; and, to prevent the occurrence of this disease, it 
should be taken on long sea voyages. 66 
PURPURA. 
Sanguineous Effusions into the Cutaneous and Mucous Tis- 
sues of the Body. 
Alnuin, Xanthoxylin, Phytolacin, Hydrastin, Populin, 
Leptandrin, Collinsonin, Euonymin, Ptelein, Gelsemin, 
Scutellarin, Eupatorin Purpu, and Barosmin are indicated. 
HYDROPHOBIA. 
I have never had any satisfactory results in the treat- 
ment of this disease by the agents employed, and have 
never known of but one recovery, and that was under the 
care of a physician in Boston, in 1835. His treatment was 
Lobelia to the parts affected, and almost a continuous use 
of the vapor bath. As Gelsemin and Anagalliin will con- 
trol spasms and neutralize poisons, I wrould suggest their 
trial by the profession. 
GLANDERS AND FARCY. 
Use Capsicum, Vinegar and Common Salt with water. 
Hydrastin, Xanthoxylin, Alnuin, Myricin, Betin, Ptelein, 
Euonymin or Oil Erigeron should be given. Bi-Carbonate 
of Soda, Cerasein, Geraniin, or Baptisin for gargles. 
BOILS. 
Apply a poultice of Sour Apples. Comp. Podophyllin 
Pills, Hydrastin, and Comp. Cerasein Pills are indicated. 
STYES. 
Open the boil and introduce a small quantity of the Comp. 
Caustic. Tonics and laxatives are indicated. 67 
Before the carbuncle is open, apply poultice of Sour 
Apples and Lobelin; after it is open apply the Comp. 
Caustic, and sprinkle on the parts Alnuin, Phytolacin, 
Baptisin or Trilliin. Comp. Podophyllin Pills, Populin, 
Hydrastin, and Gelsemin to be given as case requires. 
CARBUNCLES. 
MALIGNANT PUSTULES. 
First apply the Compound Caustic, and then a poultice 
to the pustule, composed of Elm, Lobelia and Baptisin. 
Gelsemin, Capsicum and Ginger to be given. Use Comp. 
Cerasein Pills as a tonic. 
CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE. 
In apoplexy, to distinguish between extravasation of 
blood, and simple or nervous apoplexy, give an enema 
composed of eight ounces of water, and one half to one 
ounce of the Comp. Tine, of Lobelia. If there is an ex- 
tensive hemorrhage, no effect will be produced, and the 
patient will remain in the same unconscious state, but 
if the attack is simple apoplexy, consciousness will be re- 
stored in a few moments, or signs of distress, which pre- 
cedes consciousness. After repeating the enema a second 
time, and no consciousness is shown, I pronounce the 
case hopeless, but if there is a reaction, I at once give 
remedies to relax and equalize the circulation, and stimu- 
late nervous action, such as Gelsemin, Veratrin, Capsi- 
cum, Xanthoxylin andLobelin. Senecin, Scutellarin, and 
Eupatorin Purpu should be given as diuretics, and Chel- 
onin as a tonic. 
Hemorrhage from the Ear. 
OTORRHAGIA. 
When it is necessary to inject anything into the ear to 
relieve the various causes of hemorrhage, I use a solution 68 
of the Alnuin. If hooping-cough, asthma, sneezing or 
vomiting has caused the hemorrhage, Gelsemin is the 
remedy. 
EPISTAXIS. 
Nose Bleed. 
A solution of Alnuin should be snuffed up the nose. In 
some cases it will be found necessary to plug the nose with 
cotton wool, on which place the Alnuin. Tinctures of 
Xanthoxylum and Erigeron should be given several times 
a day. Collinsonia Compound should be given, to keep the 
bowels well open. 
STOMATORRHAGIA. 
Discharges of Blood from Mouth and Throat. 
When the hemorrhage proceeds from scurvy, ulceration, 
or a disorganization of the mucous membrane, washes of 
Myricin, Baptisin, Trilliin, Phytolacin, Alnuin. or Bi-Car- 
bonate of Soda are indicated. 
The combined Tinctures of Xantlioxylum, Erigeron and 
Alnuin should be mixed with sugar, and given several times 
a day. If the hemorrhage is caused by the improper use 
of mercury, put twenty grains of Iodide Potassium to 
eight ounces of water and use it as a gargle, in connection 
with the other remedies for hemorrhage. 
SPONTANEOUS HEMORRHAGE. 
When this hemorrhage proceeds from the eyes, gums, 
nails of the hands and feet, without any apparent external 
injury, place the patient in bed, and put them under the 
influence of Gelsemin, Xanthoxylin, Alnuin and Oil Erig- 
eron. 
By the continuation of these remedies with tonics and 
laxatives, treatment is usually successful. 69 
HAEMOPTYSIS. 
Spitting of Bloood from the larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes, 
and air cells of the lungs. 
If the hemorrhage is profuse, place the patient in bed 
with warm applications to the feet, and give the Tinctures 
of Oil Erigeron, Alnuin, and Gelseminum combined, and 
repeat as the case may require. To prevent its return give 
Alnuin, Xanthoxylin, Lycopin, Phytolacin, Chionanthin, 
Hydrastin, Senecin, Scutellarin, Oil Erigeron, etc. 
HaEMATEMESIS. 
Hemorrhage from the Stomach. 
Give the patient ten grains of Alnuin, and fifteen grains 
of Myricin in four ounces of water. This will soon be ex- 
pelled from the stomach, when the medicine should be re- 
peated. As soon as the hemorrhage subsides give the Con. 
Tinctures of Alnus, Gelseminum, Xanthoxylum and Oil 
Erigeron. Cocoa Shells, Milk and Elm should be the diet. 
UTERINE HEMORRHAGE. 
When enemas for the vagina are indicated, use twenty 
grains of each Alnuin and Myricin, to one pint of water 
With one of Chase’s Vaginal Syringes, inject one or two 
syringes full of the liquid, retaining each in the Vagina 
lor a few minutes. Hop Tea can be used with advantage 
in same manner. For internal remedies, Gelsemin, 
Lycopin, Senecin, Alnuin, Xanthoxylin, Oil Erigeron, Oil 
Solidago, Hydrastin, etc. 
Special treatment is required for the various causes 
which produce hemorrhage. 
ILEMATURIA. 
Hemorrhage f rom the Urethra. 
Tinctures of Oil Erigeron and Xanthoxylum to be given 70 
in active doses, followed with Alnuin, Lycopin, Populin, 
Senecin, Eupatorin Purp, Chionanthin, etc. For enemas, 
Alnuin and Hydrastin. 
INFLAMMATION. 
For external applications, use warm baths of various 
kinds, also relaxing, soothing and stimulating applications 
to the parts affected. For internal use, Gelsemin, Vera- 
trin, Lobelin, Capsicum, Asclepin, Xanthoxylin, Hydras- 
tin, Geraniin, Alnuin and Chionanthin are indicated. 
Lobelin and Lupulin to be used for enemas. 
DROPSY. 
As alteratives—Podophyllin, Leptandrin, Juglandin, Col- 
linsonin, Euonymin, Apocynin, Phytolacin, Chionanthin, 
Irisin, Corydalin, Stillingin, Chimapliilin, Baptisin, Am- 
pelopsin and Ptelein are indicated. 
As diuretics—Populin, Eupatorin Purpu, Senecin, Bar- 
osmin, Scutellarin, Cocoa Shells. 
I advise the use of the sulphur bath. 
The various forms of dropsy must be treated according 
to the different kinds, locality, etc. 
CANCER. 
For resolvents—Phytolacin, Trilliin, Collinsonin, Bapti- 
sm, Irisin, Menispermin, Leptandrin and Euonymin. 
I would also recommend in every stage of the disease, 
the internal use of Oil Erigeron, Anagalliin, Phytolacin, 
Oil Male Fern, Bi-Carb. Soda, and Acetic Acid. 
Wash out the ulcer with Comp. Caustic, and fill it with 
Alnuin, Trilliin or Baptism. Repeat the use of the Caustic 
as occasion may require. Chionanthin, Ptelein, Phyto- 
lacin, Irisin and Oil Solidago are internal remedies, 
RODENT ULCER 71 
LUPUS. 
Treatment the same as Rodent Ulcers. 
SCROFULA WITH TUBERCLE. 
Phytolacin, Stillingin, Podophyllin, Alnuin, Leptan- 
(lrin, Euonymin, Irisin and Betin are indicated. 
Give from two to four ounces of common Cider, once a 
day. 
Apply Phytolacin Ointment externally.

Hydrastin, and Populin are indicated. 
Give Bi-Carbonate of Soda at night. 
FATTY DEGENERATION. 
Con. Tine. Yeratrum to be given three times a day. Al- 
nuin, Muriate Hydrastin, Phytolacin and Euonymin should 
also be given. AMYLOID DEGENERATION. 
Give Leptandrin, Collinsonin, Juglandin, Euonymin, 
Baptisin, Alnuin, Betin, Hydrastin or Clielonin. 
Also, two ounces of cider in the morning, and twenty to 
thirty grains of Bi-Carbonate of Soda at night. 
MINERAL DEGENERATION. 
Give Betin, in two to five grain doses, three times a day. 
Phytolacin, Sulphate Hydrastin, Alnuin and Apocynin 
are also indicated. 
Take two to four ounces common cider twice a day. 
If mercury or lead is in the system it should be extract- 
ed 
GOITRE. 
A Morbid Enlargement of the Thyroid Gland. 
Con. Tine. Xanthoxylum and Oil Erigeron, should be 
given three times a day. Apply Ointments of Phytolacin 
or Lobelin. Phytolacin, Irisin, Podophyllin, Leptandrin, 
and Hydrastin should be employed. Acetic, or Citric Acid 
should also be given. 
GOUT. 
Apply to the parts a Sour Apple Poultice, or a poultice of 
something else in which vinegar is placed. 
The patient should be kept under the influence of Con. 
Tincture of Gelseminum, while active laxative medicines, 
such as Leptandrin, Euonymin, Juglandin, and Apocynin 
are given. Laxative and diuretic tonics should be given, 
such as the Hydrastin and Populin. For a diuretic perhaps 
there is nothing better than the Barosmin, Asclepin, Scutel- 
larin, Eupatorin Purpu, Senecin, or Cocoa Shells. As 
stimulants I would advise Con. Tinctures of Capsicum, 
Ginger, Xanthoxylum, or Oil Erigeron. If an active stim- 73 
ulant is needed, I would apply the Tincture of Erigeron, 
to the affected parts. There is no doubt but that the sul- 
phur bath, in this disease, is the best. 
ACUTE RHEUMATISM. 
Give forty grains of Bi-Carbonate of Soda dissolved in 
water; after which, give in one dose— 
B-— Podophyllin, grs ii. 
Leptandrin, grs iii. 
Gelsemin i. 
Above can be repeated every two or three days, as the 
case may require. 
Keep the patient under the influence of the Con. Tine. 
Gelseminum, to promote perspiration and relieve the pain. 
Con. Tinctures of Capsicum and Xanthoxylum are indi- 
cated as stimulants. Populin as a tonic. Barosmin and 
Scutellarin as diuretics. 
If any part of the body is swollen and painful, apply 
the stimulating liniment two or three times a day, and keep 
the parts moist and warm. 
Any warm bath is good. 
After the patient recovers, use the Con. Tine. Xanthoxy' 
lum for some time. 
CHRONIC RHEUMATISM. 
Apply to the parts offected the Lobelia Ointment, or 
stimulating liniment; Poultices containing Acetic Acid are 
good; also, all sweating applications. 
Baths are of great benefit, especially the sulphur. Lax- 
ative medicines should be given two or three times a day, 
such as Euonymin, Apocynin, Leptandrin, Juglandin, or 
Irisin. 
To act as resolvents, Phytolacin, Menispermin, Macrotin, 
or Caulophyllin should be given in connection with the 
Con. Tine. Gelseminum. 
Con. Tinctures Capsicum, and Xanthoxylum should be 
used as stimulants. 74 
Diuretic and laxative tonics, are almost always indicated. 
If this disease has been brought on by the use of mercury 
the system must be freed from it, or all medication will be 
in vain. 
OBESITY. 
Fat or Gross, Corpulency. 
Give as much Con. Tine. Veratrum as the patient will 
bear, three times a day. 
Alnuin and Betin should also be employed. fmn, 
SIMPLE CONTINUED FEVER. 
Fevers will not run a certain course if the cause is early 
removed. 
Remove morbid accumulations and obstructions, which 
cause arterial excitement. This will prevent any great 
abatement in the powers of the system, congestion or in- 
flammation. To do this, give the Podophyllin and Leptan- 
drin in active doses at first, and then in smaller quantities 
every twelve hours, until the discharges from the bowels 
become healthy in appearance, and an abatement of the 
fever. Con. Tine. Gelseminum should be given to aid in 
the latter, and to induce sleep. Hydrastin, and Capsicum 
should be given to support and strengthen the system. 
TYPHUS FEVER. 
Brain, Malignant, Pestilential, Jail, and Putrid Fever. 
The various names given will suggest the propriety of 
at once removing obstructions, freeing the system from ac- 
cumulated poison, and equalizing the circulation. If this 
is done in the early stages of the disease, there will not be 
much fever; and sore tongue, and hemorrhage from the 
bowels will be less frequent. Much care should be exer- 
cised in giving medicines that will irritate the mucous 
membrane of tiie stomach and bowels, for, if that is done, 
most certain it will be that you will have irritation, in- 
flammation or ulceration to contend with, in addition to 
the fever you commenced to treat. Commence the treat merit by giving Podophyllin and Leptandrin in active doses 
every six hours for twenty-four or thirty-six hours. By 
this time most of the morbid accumulations will have been 
carried off by the bowels, pores and kidneys. 
At the expiration of above period, equal parts of the 
Con. Tinctures of Leptandria, Juglans and Collinsonia 
should be given to keep the bowels open, preventing, by 
this means, the accumulation of poisonous substance which 
would cause a greater or less degree of inflammation, ulcer- 
ation and hemorrhage. 
If the treatment is carried out at the first commencement 
of the disease, it will also prevent the typhoid character- 
istics of looseness, dysentery and diarrhea, which course 
nature takes to free itself from the accumulated poisons. 
But, if they are not freed from the system, we have a train 
of effects to treat. 
First comes the fever.—For this I give Con. Tinctures 
of Veratrum, Gelseminum, Aconitum or Lobelia. Sec- 
ond, looseness and diarrhea.—I give the Collinsonia Com- 
pound every three or four hours to assist in carrying off 
the morbid accumulations; Alnuin, Cerasein and Betin to 
relieve the irritation. Third, hemorrhage or dysentery.— 
I give the Collinsonia Comp, every four to six hours. To 
stop the hemorrhage, I give the Alnuin and Oil Erigeron. 
For the dysentery, Con. Tinctures of Gelseminum, Dios- 
corea and Xanthoxylum, in connection with Elm and Co- 
coa Shell Tea. 
Enemas confaining Myricin, Lupulin, Gelsemin or Lo- 
belin with Elm are beneficial. 
Muriate of Hydrastin, and Populin, should be used as 
tonics in the convalescent state. Con. Tinctures Xanthox- 
ylum and Capsicum are the best stimulants. 
TYPHOID FEVER. 
Pythogenic Fever, Enteric Fever, Infantile Remittent Fever, 
Felms Mesenterica Maligna, Night Soil Fever, Gastro-Bii 
ions Fever, Febris Gastrica, Febris Putrida, Ileo-Typhus, 
and Abdominal I'yphus. 
For treatment see “ Typhus Fever." 77 
CEREBRO SPINAL FEVER. 
Also called, Spotted Fever, Cerebro-Spinal Typhus, Neuro- 
Purpuric Fever, Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis, Malig- 
nant Purple Fever, and Malignant Purpuric Fever. 
This disease has many complications, hence the various 
names it has assumed. I rely upon two medicines, which 
if rightly used will save a large per cent, of cases. They 
are, Con. Tinctures of Gelseminum and Lobelia. Give the 
Con.Tine.Gelseminum every three to six hours, keeping the 
patient under its gentle influence until it allays the fever. 
It will stop the vomiting, relieve pain, and induce sleep. 
Give Enemas once every three or six hours, in which there 
is from one to three drachms of Con. Tine. Lobelia. 
Cocoa Shell Tea, and Milk should be the only drink and 
nourishment. 
For external use, I apply the Lobelia Ointment, or a 
poultice containing Lobelia. I also keep wet and warm 
cloths to the affected parts. After the fever subsides care 
must be taken to keep up thestrength of the patientby the 
use of Populin as a tonic; Con. Tine. Xanthoxylum as a 
stimulant; and the Collinsonia Compound as a laxative. 
RELAPSING FEVER. 
Give Ccn. Tine. Gelseminum every six hours. Also, 
from one to three drachms of Collinsonia Comp, every 
night for three days, to act freely on the bowels. Cliion- 
anthin, Sulphate Hydrastin, and Populin should be given 
as tonics; and Capsicum or Xanthoxylin as stimulants. 
INTERMITTENT FEVER, OR AGUE. 
The Comp. Cerasein Pills I believe to be a specific i i 
these cases. I give 3 pills every three hours during the in- 
terval to break chill or fever. 3 pills every four hours f ir 
two days after they are broken, and 3 pills every four liou t, 
on sixth day, from last chill or fever, to guard the sever'\ 
day, or periodic return. Take same care to guard the 78 
21st and 28th days, by following directions for the sixth 
day, on the 13th, 20th and 27th days. The bowels should 
in all cases be kept freely open, by use of the Comp. Podo- 
phyllin Pills when required. Above medicine will prevent 
the vomiting often attending the commencement of a chill. 
REMITTENT FEVER. 
1 use same remedies as in Intermittent Fever. 
YELLOW FEVER. 
The poison which causes this fever produces morbid ac- 
cumulation, or obstruction in tlie stomach, bowels, kidneys, 
blood, and all the tissues of the body. 
The patient should be kept, under the influence of the 
Con. Tine. Gelsemin, which will control the vomiting. 
Give equal quantities of Leptandrin, Juglandin, Collinso- 
nin and Capsicum every three hours for the first forty-eight 
hours, and then every six hours for four day's. Asclepin, 
Capsicum and Cerasein should be given every hour. 
To induce perspiration, act as a diuretic, and aid in keep- 
ing up the strength, give large quantities of Cocoa Shells, 
Milk and Elm. If it is necessary to control the fever, give 
Con. Tine. Veratrum. 
Enemas of Hop Tea, containing two or three drachms 
of Tine. Lobelia should be given as required. Cerasein, 
Capsicum and Populin may be given as restoratives. 
DENGUE FEVER. 
Give tlie Podophyllin and Leptandrin every six hours, 
for one day. Also Con. Tine. Yeratrum, Gelseminum, 
Asclepias, and Cocoa Shells to keep up an active perspira- 
tion for three or four days, and a gentle perspiration until 
the sixth day. Enemas containing Capsicum should be 
given. After abatement of fever, Xantlioxylin, Capsicum, 
and Populin may be given as restoratives. 79 
SMALL POX. 
My own sufferings from the influence of this loathsome 
disease, and my experience in its treatment for many years, 
leads me to the conclusion that the mortality should be 
greatly diminished. I give my treatment to those who 
have nothing better. 
When the first symptoms of fever, shivering, headache 
and vomiting takes place, put the patient in bed, (or what 
is better, a vapor bath), and promote perspiration, which 
sustain until the pustules make their appearance. I have 
found this course will greatly diminish the quantity of 
same. To prevent pitting, and to abate the second fever, 
I open all the pustules, as they make their apperance, with 
a needle perforator. After washing the parts with water 
containing Carbonate of Soda, I bathe the surface with 
Con. Tine Veratrum, diluted one-fourth to one-half. If 
the surface is small the full strength Tincture may be used. 
If the pustules should fill again, I repeat the perforating 
and washing. Two or three ounces of Chloride of Lime, 
should be put into the waste wash water, which after stand- 
ing awhile, can be thrown away without danger of spreading 
contagion. 
From the first symptoms of the disease, I keep the bowels 
freely open, until the second fever, by the use of the Col- 
linsonia Compound, given three times a day. I also keep 
the patient under the influence of the Con. Tine. Gelse- 
minum until the abatement of the disease. 
In the confluent form, the Alnuin should be given every 
four or six hours; also Charcoal, triturated with sugar, in 
small quantities two or three times a day. 
Washes for the mouth, composed of diluted Tinctures of 
Lobelia, Myrica, Baptisia, Alnus, or Trillium, should be 
used. 
For nutriment, I give hard baked Custards, Cocoa Shell 
Tea and Elm. 
Chloride of Lime, with Sulphuric Acid, is the best dis- 
infectant in this disease 80 
COW, AND CHICKEN-POX. 
Con Tine. Gelseminum should be given to control un- 
due fever; also Collinsonia Comp, to act on the bowels, if 
a laxative is required. 
By the use of Asclepin, Gelsemin and Cocoa Shells, keep 
up a moisture on the skin until the eruption has made its 
appearance all over the body, when laxative medicine 
should be given. 
The Con. Tinctures of Myrica, Geranium, Baptisia, or 
Trillium may be diluted and used as a wash for the mouth. 
MEASLES. 
SCARLET FEVER. 
Active measures should be taken at the commencement 
of this disease, to free the system from the scarlatinal 
poison, which will prevent the many complications and 
diseases often happening after recovery of patient. 
Produce at once an active perspiration by the use of 
broken doses of Con. Tine. Lobelia, once or twice a day. 
Give enough to produce emesis should the attack be severe. 
The Lobelia will also cause expectoration. Cocoa Shells 
with Milk, will aid in keeping up the perspiration, acting 
on the kidneys, and sustaining the powers of the system. 
The bowels should be kept freely open, from the first 
attack, to the time the eruption ceases, which will aid in 
carrying off the poison, before it has caused inflammation, 
producing diarrhea, dysentery, etc. 
To accomplish this, give the Collinsonia Compound every 
six hours. Con. Tine, of Gelsemin should also be given 
to cause sleep and abate the fever. 
Enemas of Hop Tea will relieve pain in the bowels, if 
given two or three times a day. Tonics and stimulants 
should be given as restoratives. 
If above treatment is not carried out, (or one as effica- 
cious), you may have many diseases worse than scarlet 
lever to contend with, such as rheumatic pericarditis, acute 
rheumatism, abscesses in the ear, diseases of the scalp, enlarger 81 
merit of the glands, ophthalmia, strumous ulcers, disease of the 
joints, anasarca, acute Bright's disease, and idiocy. 
The treatment for most of these affections will be found 
under the various heads in this book. 
As in scarlet fever; we have the same object in view, to 
free the system from accumulative poison. 
Give Podophyliin and Leptandrin in active doses every 
six hours, combining with them the Con. Tine. Gelseminum 
during the inflammatory stage. Active diuretics such as 
Barosmin, Asclepin, Senecin or Eupatorin Purpu should 
be given. 
For external use, Con. Tine. Gelsemin one part, Castor 
Oil three parts, mix and apply to the affected portions of 
the body. On abatement of the disease Muriate Hydrastin 
and Xanthoxylin should be given. 
The treatment of children, and the so-called erysipelas 
of lying-in patients, should be on same general principles.

Use enemas of Lobelia every three or six hours, to evac- 
uate the bowels, and prevent over accumulation of urine 
in the bladder, also relieve the pain, should there be any 
in the bowels. When the inflammation abates, tonics such 
as Populin, Chelonia and Frazerin are indicated. Con. 
Tine. Xanthoxylum is the best stimulant. The bowels 
should be kept loose for a time by the use of the Collin- 
sonia Compound. Above treatment will apply in cases 
where gastric or hepatic irritation is the cause of vomiting. 
Apply to parts affected, Con. Tinctures of Gelseminum 
and Oil Erigeron also keep warm applications to parts.

SPINAL IRRITATION. 
PARALYSIS. 
Hemiplegia, Paraplegia, Locomotor Ataxy, Infantile Paralysis, 
Hysterical, Rheumatic and Diphtheritic Paralysis, Paralysis 
Agitans. 
As most of these varieties are caused by a loss of nervous 
power, I shall put them under general treatment. 
In a majority of these cases I first resort to galvanism, 
and alcoholic stimulants. I pass the positive current from 
the extremities, bringing it out of the back of the neck. 
If there is no mercury in the system it can be continued 
from one to four hours, and in many cases the patient will 
go to sleep while under its soothing influence. It should 
be applied every six or twelve hours, until relief is obtained. 
Lobelin, Phytolacin and Oil Erigeron Ointments should 
be applied to affected parts. 
Stimulants—When there is a great prostration, Alcoholic 
stimulants, I consider by my own experience the best. Con. 
Tinctures Xanthoxylum, Ginger, and Capsicum come in 
next. 
As tonics—Use Hydrastin Chelonin, Chionanthin and 
Frazerin. 
Alteratives—Collinsonia Comp., Euonymin, Eupatorin 
Purp, or Alnuin. 93 
Solvents—Betin or Phytolacin. 
Nervines—Gelsemin, Scutellarin or Cypripedin. 
For enemas—Use Tincture Lobelia diluted with water. 
MECURIAL AND LEAD PARALYSIS. 
Whether this form of paralysis has been caused by the 
improper use of the metals, or has been taken into the 
system by other means, the effect is the same. 
I advise that the positive pole of the galvanic current, 
be placed at the back of the head, and through a coil, be 
taken out at the extremities, while they are immersed in 
acidulated water. By repeated applications it will produce 
electrolysis of the metals. 
After this is accomplished, the positive pole can be ap- 
plied to the extremities, and the negative to the back of 
the neck, thereby giving stimulation to the nervous system. 
The treatment in other cases of paralysis, will then be 
indicated. 
CONVULSIONS. 
For the general convulsions of adults, use as an enema, 
from two to three ounces of Tincture Lobelia, diluted with 
eight ounces of water. For children, one-half to one ounce 
Tine. Lobelia, with six ounces of water. In some cases 
the Con. Tine. Gelseminum, used internally, will give im- 
mediate relief, and also prevent recurrence of convulsions. 
CONVULSIONS OF PREGNANT WOMEN 
Collinsonia Comp., Eupatorin Purp, Scutellarin, Baros- 
min and Populin are indicated. 
Give ten to fifteen drops Con. Tine. Gelseminum at night, 
or an enema containing one-quarter to one-lialf ounce of 
Tine. Lobelia diluted with water. 
CONVULSIONS OF PARTURIENT WOMEN. 
Macrotin, Ergotin and Caulophyllin are indicated. If 
above remedies fail, rupture the placenta and cause the de- 
livery of the child. 94 
Give Gelsemin, Viburnin, Veratrin, or Anagalliin to pre- 
vent paroxysms. 
As laxatives and alteratives—Leptandrin, Collinsonin, 
Euonymin, Alnuin, and Betin. 
Tonics—Populin, Frazerin or Chionanthin. 
Nervines—Scute!larin or Cypripedin. 
EPILEPSY.

Comp. Tine. Lobelia on the tongue of the patient. Then 
use the following as indicated. 
As stimulant—Con. Tine. Xanthoxylum. 
Tonics—Frazerin, Populin, or Chionanthin. 
Diuretics—Eupatorin Purpu or Barosmin. 
Laxatives and alteratives—Euonymin, Alnuin or Betin. 
And Con. Tinctures of Gelseminum, Scutellaria or Cypri- 
pedium as nervines. 
HYSTERIA. 
CATALEPSY.

of Comp. Tine. Lobelia, diluted with six ounces of water, 
or place on tongue of patient from eight to ten drops of 
Tine. Lobelia, Comp. 
In severe cases one to two ounces of the Tincture can be 
used as an enema, with water. Triturate Oil Erigeron 
with sugar, and give three times a day. Above will obvi- 
ate the difficulty in those who are subject to it. As stimu- 
lant, use Con. Tine. Xantlioxylum. 
CHOREA.—St. VITUS’ DANCE. 
Act well on the bowels every day, by the use of Leptan- 
drin, Juglandin and Collinsonin. 
My favorite remedy is a combination of above. 
Use as stimulants—Con, Tinctures Xanthoxylum and Oil 
Erigeron, Nervines—Scutellarin, Gelsemin or Cypripedin. 
Tonics—Cerasein or Chelonin. 
In severe cases, control the motion by giving Con. Tine. 
Gelseminum every four or six hours. 
Dilute eight to ten drops of the Comp. Tine. Lobelia, 
and place it on tongue of the patient, repeating same if 
necessary. If there is great difficulty in swallowing give 
an enema composed of one-lialf ounce Comp. Tine. Lobelia 
diluted with water. As soon as it has caused vomiting, 
give the patient broken doses of Tine. Lobelia internally, 
to keep system in relaxed state. If the tetanus has been 
caused by any poison, use large quantities of Elm, as a 
drink. After thirty-four years of experience in the use of 
the Lobelia in above disease, I consider it as near a specific 
as anything can be. 
Cocoa Shells should be used in large quantities to keep 
up the strength, promote perspiration, and act as a diuretic. 
TETANUS. 
SLEEPLESSNESS. 
Give ten to twenty drops of the Con. Tine. Gelseminum 
at night, when sleep will he induced without any unpleas- 
ant effect. In acute attacks, give from five to ten drops, 
every five or six hours. 
Con. Tine. Xantlioxylum will prevent somnambulism. 
HYPOCHONDRIASIS. 
Give from one to three teaspoons-full of Collinsonia Com- 
pound every night, to act on the mucous membrane of the 
bowels. If the patient cannot sleep, give from ten to 
twenty drops of Con. Tine. Gelseminum at night. Betin 
should be given in two or three grain doses, three times a 
day. Cypripedin or Scutellarin will increase the nervous 
power. When the tumor, or tumors are near the surface of the 
skin, I apply the Compound Caustic, and make a sore to the 
depth of the tumor, and keep it discharging until it has 
been dissolved. 
NEUROMA. 
NEURITIS.—INFLAMMATION. 
Apply the Lobelia Ointment, also warm applications to 
the parts affected. Give ten to fifteen drops Con Tine. 
Gelseminum every six or eight hours 
NEURALGIA.

CHRONIC INFLAMMATION OF THE NOSTRILS. 
Remove any foreign substance in the nose, and snuff up 
warm water several times a day. One or more of the fol- 
lowing articles injected into the head with a laryngal 
syringe, or snuffed up the nose, is good. 
Ten to fifteen drops of Con. Tine. Alnus, Hydrastis or 
Trillium, to one ounce of water. Use one syringe-full 
three times a day. Sometimes I use five drops Comp. Tine. 
Iodine with one ounce of water, applied to parts as above. 
Tincture of Gum Myrrh will relieve the offensive odor, 
by using from ten to twelve drops to the ounce of water. 
A snuff composed of thirty drops Oil Erigeron triturated 
with one ounce of sugar, and used three times a day, I have 
found very efficacious. Give alteratives and tonics by day 
and the Con. Tine. Gelseminum at night. 
APHONIA. 
Loss of Voice. 
Hold the diluted Tine, of Lobelia in the mouth for a 
few minutes, three times a day. Use Bi-Carbonate of Soda

CROUP. 
Give an emetic in spasmodic croup, and keep the pa- 
tient under the influence of the medicine more or less, as 
the ease may require, and the second and third stages will 
be prevented. In the second and third stages, when the 
patient is unable to swallow, give an enema of Lobelia and 
water, in sufficient quantities to cause vomiting, which 
will obviate the necessity of tracheotomy in many cases.

believe to be as successful as any that has yet been adopted. 
I give— 
1?— Con. Tine. Gelseminum gtt's xxv. 
Con. Tine. Xanthoxjdum, gtt's xv. 
and repeat if thought best, in larger or smaller quantities, 
as the case may require. 
B — Gum Camphor, § i. 
Olive Oil, § vi. 114 
Rub above well together, and use three ounces as an 
enema. If expelled, immediately repeat at once. By con- 
tinuing the enemas, and medicine a warm perspiration 
will soon start in favorable terminations. Warm applica- 
tions for the extremities and bowels should be used. As 
soon as reaction takes place restoratives should be used. 
Xanthoxylin, Viburnin, Dioscorein, Capsicum and Ginger 
are indicated. Cocoa Shells, Elm, and Milk should be the 
only diet for a few days. 
CHOLERA INFANTUM.

Give an active dose of Podophyllin and Leptandrin once 
a week ; after which, give equal parts of Leptandrin, 
Collinsonin and Juglandin combined, every night, to keep 
the bowels in a soluble state. The sickness will be relieved

the region of the liver with Tincture Oil Erigeron, will be 
of great benefit. 
HEPATITIS. 
Give an active dose of Podophyllin and Leptandrin at 
first, to remove all undue accumulations in the liver and

ing the necessity for active treatment, the bowels should 
be acted on every day by the use of Leptandrin, Apocynin 
and Rhein, combined with Bi-Carb. Soda. Hydrastin and 
Capsicum should be given in small doses, three times a 
day. When there is difficulty in producing an action of 
the bowels, much relief will be obtained by using enemas 
of Hop tea, containing a small quantity of Tine. Lobelia. 
Warm and sweating applications should be kept over 
the region of the liver during the active stage, and after 
the inflammation has abated, stimulating lotions should 
be used, or a Belladonna Plaster worn over parts. 
CIRRHOSIS. 
A continued action on the liver and bowels should be 
kept up by the use of the Con. Tinctures of Leptandria, 
Apocynum, and Phytolacca, or Euonymus, Rhei and 
Phytolacca, combined with Bi-Carb. Soda. Chionanthin, 
and a small quantity of Capsicum should be given three 128 
times a day. To relieve the irritation of the stomach and 
bowels, give the Hydrastin and Alnuin, or Cerasein.

appearance of the stools disappear. After this has been 
accomplished, give the Collinsonia Comp., to keep the 
bowels open. Hydrastin, or Chionantliin, combined with 
Bi-Carb. Soda and Capsicum, should be freely given. Use 
Cocoa Shell tea as a drink. Con. Tine. Gelseminum will 
relieve pain, and induce sleep. 
ATROPHY FROM OTHER CAUSES. 
In cases where blood poisoning has produced a disorgan- 
ization of the liver, emetics of Lobelia should be freely 
used, and an active perspiration kept up by the use of 
Asclepin, Cocoa Shell tea, and Con. Tine. Gelseminum. 
Where fatty degeneration is supposed to be the exciting 
cause, use Con. Tines, of Veratrum and Phytolacca. Active 
diuretics should be administered, and the bowels kept 
freely open all the time. 
Support the system by using Con. Tine. Xanthoxylum, 
and Alcoholic stimulants. 129 
CHRONIC ATROPHY OF THE LIVER.

require. 
Combine Alnuin, Hydrastin and Chionanthin with Bi- 
Carb. Soda, and give three times a day. 
Populin, and other diuretics, should be given. 
Enemas of Lobelia should be given at night. 
Many cases will be much benefited by the use of good 
cider at dinner. All kinds of baths are of much benefit. 130 
THE PIGMENT LIVER. 
As soon as the affection has been established, give 
Podophylliu and Apocynin, with Bi-Carb. Soda, once or 
twice in twenty-four hours. 
Populin and Barosmin, combined with Capsicum, should 
be given several times a day. 
It is important to administer the Con. Tine. Gelseminum 
at night. Vapor or Sulphur Baths should be used. Rub- 
bing the body night and morning with a stiff brush will 
be found of great benefit. 
The first object in the treatment of this disease, is the 
destruction of the Echinococcus (or worms). To effect 
this, give Con. Tine. Gelseminum and Oil Erigeron for a 
week or ten days, in as large quantities as the patient will 
bear, after which the medicines should be given in smaller 
quantities. 
Podophylliu and Phytolacin, Irisin and Pliytolacin, 
Euonymin and Phytolacin, or Apocynin and Phytolacin 
combined with Bi-Carb. Soda, should be administered 
once or twice a day. 
In case there is great irritation of the mouth, stomach 
and bowels, the Alnuin and Xanthoxylin should be freely 
used Vapor or Sulphur Baths should be used. Cocoa 
Shell tea should be the table drink while under treatment. 
When there is a disagreeable, gone feeling at the stomach, 
it can be relieved by use of Hydrastin, with a small 
quantity of Capsicum, triturating both together with 
sugar, and taking same by placing powder on tongue, and 
swallowing it. The physician’s judgment will dictate 
when the use of the Trocliar is indicated. 
HYDATID TUMORS OF THE LIVER. 
Great relief will be afforded by the use of Gelsemin and 
Hamamelin, or Gelsemin combined with Hydrastin, 
Alnuin, Cliionantliin, or Xanthoxylin. Collinsonia Comp, 
should be given every night. 
CAXCER OF TIIE LIVER. nf % |)ilm% 
INFLAMMATION OF THE BILIARY PASSAGES. 
The first and most important act in the treatment of 
this disease, is to relax and produce a discharge of morbid 
accumulation. For this purpose, give the Con. Tine. 
Lobelia once a day, in quantity sufficient to produce 
emesis. 
Above treatment should be continued as long as the 
urgent symptoms last, which will usually be from seven 
to fourteen days. The effect of above will be to relieve 
the inflammation, also to prevent suppurative inflamm/ 
tion, hemorrhage, jaundice, hectic fever, Ac. 
Hydrastin and Chionanthin should be given as tonics. 
Collinsonia Comp, to keep the bowels open. 
Con. Tine. Gelseminum and Oil Erigeron should also be 
given. 
Apply the Volatile Liniment over the liver. Vapor and 
Sulphur Baths are of great importance. Diuretics should 
be freely used. Perspiration in many casein can be sus- 
tained by use of Cocoa Shell tea as a drink. The Con. 
Tine. Gelseminum will relieve pain and nausea, prevent 
hiccough, and induce sleep. 
ENTOZOA OF THE BILIARY PASSAGES. 
Give as much of the Oil Erigeron every four hours, as 
the stomach will tolerate, which continue for three or fouv 
days. Then give at night an active dose of Podophyllin 
and Clielonin. 
During above interval, give the Con. Tine. Gelseminum 
every twelve hours, in doses of from ten to fifteen drops. 132 
As soon as the Podophyllin begins to act well on the 
bowels, give Castor Oil. Repeat above as often as is 
deemed best. Then give the Tine. Oil Erigeron, Chelonin 
and Alnuin two or three times a day. Apocynin and 
Leptandrin should be given to keep the bowels open after 
the use of the Podophyllin, &c. 
To prevent further accumulation of parasites, give Oil 
Erigeron, Chelonin, or Lupulin ; also the Collinsonia 
Comp. 
Give, at night, an active dose of Podophyllin; in the 
morning, as soon as the stomach will admit, give from 
two to four ounces Olive Oil. Examine the stools, and if 
necessary, repeat above in from four to six days. To 
prevent the accumulation of calculi, give cider in the 
morning, and Collinsonia Comp, and Bi-Carb. Soda at 
night. Pain and nausea may be relieved by the use of 
the Con. Tine. Gelseminum. 
Hydrastin, Chionanthin and Capsicum are indicated.
