Where the child will submit to it there is little doubt that quinine in a very fine spray will be of service in many cases, and it is very useful, when so used, as a prophylactic in other children of the family who it is feared will be attacked by the same disease. The strength of the solution to be employed should be about 1 grain (0.05) to the ounce of water. There is no doubt that carburetted hydrogen as inhaled at gas- works is useful as a curative measure in cases of whooping cough. A very useful remedy in some cases is belladonna in the form of the tincture, in the dose of h drop (0.025) twice a day to a child of one or two years. Where great vascular engorgement ensues upon a severe coughing spell vascular sedatives are of service ; that is, in those cases in which hemorrhages from the nose, ears, and mouth take place veratrum viride or aconite may be used, unless the disease has already so exhausted the child that stimulants are needed, and cardiac sedatives are contraindicated by the degree of adynamia present. The reason for this lies in the following facts : The vascu- lar tension consequent upon the obstruction of respiration causes a rise of blood-pressure from asphyxia, and the hemorrhages or the conjunctival ecchymoses are due to rupture of the small blood-vessels under the increased strain. By lowering vascular tension we prevent so great a spasm of the blood-vessels and avoid vascular rupture or distention. Where paroxysms come on so rapidly as really to interfere seri- ously with respiration, the child should take a whiff of chloroform poured over the parent's hand, and so relax the spasm, while in other instances nitrite of amyl is equally serviceable. Only 2 to 3 drops of the nitrite of amyl should be used at a time, and this fact must be impressed upon the parents. Benzine has been found useful in certain -cases of whooping cough. It should be lightly sprinkled about the room or on the bed-clothing. In France it has been used internally in the dose of 10 to 15 drops (0.6-1.0) for this affection. This is scarcely to be recommended. WORMS. 063 Bromoforro renders good service in some cases. (See article for prescription.) The vomiting following the cough may be overcome by using such minute amounts of milk as to enable nutrition to go on without at any time overloading the stomach, as, for example, a teaspoonful (4.0) after each paroxysm of cough. Often it will be found possible to modify the severity and frequency of the attacks by keeping the patient under a bronchitis tent or by keeping the air of the room moistened by steam. (See Bronchitis.) WORMS. Intestinal parasites may be said to be represented by the Ascaris lumbricoides, or round-worm ; the Taenia ■ solium, Taenia media canellata, and the Bothriocephalus latus, or tape-worms ; and, finally, by the Oxyuris vermicularis, sometimes called seat-, pin-, or thread- worm. The round-worm and tape-worm are to be attacked by way of the patient's mouth, the seat-worm by way of the anal opening ; but before mentioning the drugs to be employed it is necessary to insist upon one or two important points, disregard of which will result in failure in treatment. Whenever a round- or tape-worm is to be attacked, the patient must be starved for at least twelve to twenty-four hours, in order that no food in the intestinal tract may protect the worm from the action of the drug. During this time a little milk may be taken, and after a night of fasting, before breakfast, the anthelmintic must be swal- lowed. Further than this, nearly all of these drugs must be followed by purges in order to dislodge the intruder while he is paralyzed and has lost his hold ; and in many instances it is well to have a basin of salt and water ready, so that when a passage occurs a rectal injection may be given to wash out any segments of the worm which remain behind in the rectum. In the treatment of thread-worms it is necessary to fill the bowel thoroughly with soap and water to dislodge the fecal matter and expose the worms in the folds of the mucous membrane. The drugs which are used against the round-worm are: Spigelia in the form of the fluid extract, dose 1 drachm (4.0) to a child of two or three years, or 2 drachms (8.0) to an adult, or, better still, the fluid extract of spigelia and senna, dose 2 to 3 drachms (8.0-12.0), given in divided doses, to a child ; oil of chenopodium, dose 5 to 20 drops (0.3-1.3) on sugar; santonin, dose \ to \ grain (0.016-0.025) to a child, in the form of troche, made by using the crystals, or as much as 2 to 4 grains (0.1-0.2) to an adult. (See Santonin.) Brayera, or kooso, is given for the removal of the same worm in the form of an infusion, which is made by adding \ ounce (16.0) of the powdered leaves to 1 pint (500 cc.) of water and mucilage of acacia, one-half of each. This may be taken at one dose, or the fluid extract may be given in the dose of \ ounce (16.0) to an adult, 664 DISEASES. Koosin may be given in 40-grain (2.65) doses in capsule to adults, but it should not be used against worms in pregnant women, as it may cause abortion. Unless the spigelia is used with senna, it should always be followed after from two to four hours by a full dose of castor oil or a saline purgative to sweep out the worm, and the same rule applies to all the drugs mentioned above. The most efficient remedy against the tape-worm is pelletierine, the active principle of pomegranate, dose 1 to 2 grains (0.05-0.1) in capsules; or pepo, or pumpkin-seeds (2 ounces [64.0]), may be resorted to when deprived of their outer coating and rubbed into a paste with sugar. Almost, if not quite, as valuable a remedy is male fern, or Filix mas, or, as it is officially called, Aspidium. Used in the form of the oleoresin (Oleoresina Aspidii), in the dose of J to 1 drachm (2.0-4.0) to an adult, it should be followed in three or four hours by a calomel purge, aided by a saline. Either the calomel or the increased amount of bile which is present is apparently peculiarly abhorrent to the tape-worm, and its free excretion should follow the use of all the drugs just named. Aspidium should not be followed by castor or other oils, as they increase the absorbability of the drug, and so tend to develop poisonous symptoms. By far the most useful remedy for seat-worms is quassia used by injection. 1 to 2 ounces (32.0-64.0) of powdered quassia or quassia chips may be made into a decoction with a pint (500 cc.) of water, and half of this injected into the rectum after it has been well cleansed with soap and water. The quassia injection should be retained in the bowel for some minutes, and in children this may be accomplished by pressing upon the anal opening the ball of the thumb covered by a pad formed from a small folded towel. If this treatment fails to bring away all the worms in three or four trials, either there are none present or the bowel is not thoroughly invaded by the injection. In some cases the worms infest the colon, and large injections sent high up into the bowel are necessary.
