Sometimes a prescription of the following character is of service, the bismuth acting as a coating to the walls of the stomach, protect- ing and soothing them : R. — Bismuthi subnitrat giij (12.0). Tr. aconiti V\, xx vel xxx (1.3 -2.0). — M. V\. chart. No. x. S. — One powder every half-hour. In other cases of the same type the following is useful, and is to be preferred if. owing to active fermentation, the vomiting is ex- cessive (the creosote or carbolic acid being a local anaesthetic and antiseptic) : R.— Acid, carbolic, vel creosoti (beechwood) trtt . x vel xx (0.05 1.3). Bismuthi subnitratia ^iij (12.0).- M. Ft. iu chart. No. x. S.— One powder every hour. 712 DISEASES. In other cases I drop of tincture of iodine and 1 drop of carbolic acid in a couple of drachms of water will act very well. Sometimes pure chloroform in 1- or 2-drop (0.05-0.1) doses, in a little water, does good ; and dilute hydrocyanic acid, in the dose of 2 to 6 drops (0.1-0.4) is also of value in like instances, given in a tablespoonful (16.0) of water. In other instances small repeated doses of nitroglycerin do good unless the vomiting complicates peritonitis or pregnancy. Particu- larly is nitroglycerin useful in the nausea which often follows the use of opium, although this symptom is best prevented by its use. The dose used should be about 3^- grain (0.0002). The treatment of a case of vomiting dependent rather upon de- pression and debility of the stomach than upon irritation is directed to the administration of gastric and, it may be, systemic stimulants. The chief of the gastric stimulants is ipecac in small doses, and it it is this employment of a drug generally resorted to for the produc- tion of emesis by physicians which has caused homoeopaths to claim that the regular school obey the rule of similia similibus curantur and infinitesimal doses. 'Die claim only holds good on its face, for we do not use an infinitesimal dose, and obey no law, but use common sense. Ipecac is an irritant, even to the skin, and it is partly by its irritant effects that it causes vomiting by exciting the stomach to a point over and above its normal condition. In the vomiting depending upoD gastric debility and depression small doses of ipecac do good, because they irritate the stomach sufficiently to restore its normal tone with- out going to the other extreme of hyperexcitation. Under these cir- cumstances a drop dose of the wine of ipecac, or J of a grain (0.016) of the powdered ipecac, every hour, is of the greatest value, often succeeding after all other remedies have failed. In other instances tincture of mix vomica, given in ?,- to 1-drop (0.025-0.05) doses, is useful as follows : R .— Tinct. nucis vomicae gtt. iv vel viij (0.25-0.5). Aquae cinnamomi f^j (32.0). — M. S. — Teaspoonful (4.0) every half-hour or hour. In the nausea and vomiting following an alcoholic debauch ^ to 1 drop (0.025-0.05) of Fowler's solution every two hours, or before food, often gives relief, and it may be used in some cases in place of the mix vomica and ipecac. Another useful measure for the cure of alcoholic nausea is the use of full doses of hydrochloric acid, 5, 10, or 15 drops (0.3-0.65-1.0) of the dilute acid in half a tumblerful of water, repeated every two hours. In all cases of persistent vomiting counter-irritation should be applied over the stomach in the form of a mustard plaster, or. if preferred, an ice-bag may be applied to the nape of the neck, the lumbar spine, or the epigastrium. Sometimes the application of the positive pole of the rapidly interrupted induced or faradic current ap- plied between the sterno-clavicular muscles while the negative is placed on the epigastrium will give relief. The food given in cases of vomiting should be especially prepared. WHOOPISG COUGH. 713 It is always best to use peptonized milk, made by using the pepton- izing materials sold bv all the large drug firms of reliability. (See article on Diet, Part III.) Lime-water should always be put in the milk if it is not peptonized ; the amount usually employed is per- fectly useless, because of its smallness : at least 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls (32.0-48.0) should be placed in each glass of milk. Another point of importance is the quantity of liquid taken. As fast as the patient yomits he is often fed with glasses full of liquid by well-meaning friends. Instead of this, he should have only 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls (4.0-8.0) of milk every hour, half-hour, or fifteen min- utes, for it is better for him to retain a drachm than to take a quart and vomit it. Where vomiting is absolutely persistent enemata previously partly or entirely digested must be resorted to. WHOOPING COUGH. The remedies recommended for this disease are almost as numer- ous as the members of the medical profession, and every one of them is worthless so far as a cure is concerned. Probably the very best drug of all in the majority of cases is antipyrin. Given in the dose of J to 3 grains (0.025-0.15) every five hours according to the age of the child, it will nearly always decrease the number of paroxysms, but not the severity of each individual attack. Where the child will submit to it there is little doubt that a solution of quinine applied to the pharynx by means of 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 in the air at gasworks is useful as a curative measure in some cases of whooping cough. A very useful remedy in some cases is belladonna in the form of the tincture, in the dose of 2 drops (0.01) 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 ecchvmoses 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 conic mi so rapidly as really to interfere Beri ouslv with respiration, the child should take a whiff of chloroform 7 1 4 DISEASES. 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. Bromoform renders good service in some cases. (See article on Bromoform 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 Bothriocephalic latus, or tape-worms; and. finally, by the Oxyuris vermicularis, sometimes called seat-, }><n-, 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 lie 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-wornis it is necessary to fill the bowel thoroughly with soap and water to dislodge the faecal 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 WORMS. 715 in divided doses, to a child ; oil of chenopodium, dose 5 to 20 drops (0.8-1.3) on sugar; santonin, dose J to j 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 tape-worm in the form of an infusion, which is made by adding J 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 J ounce (16.0) to an adult. 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 pelletierin, the active principle of pomegranate, dose 3 to 5 grains (0.18-0.26) 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 ma}T 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.
