None
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 excessive (the creosote or phenol being a local anaesthetic and antiseptic) : 1$ — Phenolis vel creosoti (beechwood) . . . gtt. x vel xx (0.60-1.3). Bismuthi subnitratis 5hj (12.0). — M. Fiant chartulas No. x. S. — One powder every hour. In other cases 1 drop of tincture of iodine and 1 drop of phenol 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 5 minims (0.1-0.3) 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. Particularly is nitroglycerin useful in the nausea which often follows the use of opium, although this symptom is best prevented by its pre- liminary use. The dose used should be about 3-^ grain (0.0002) every half-hour. The treatment of a case of vomiting dependent rather upon depres- sion 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 is this employment of a drug generally resorted to for the production of emesis by physicians which has caused homoeopaths to claim that the regular school obey the rule of similia similibus curantur and infinitesi- mal doses. The 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 upon gastric debility and depression small doses of ipecac do good because they irritate the stomach sufficiently to restore its normal tone without going to the other extreme of hyperexcitation. Under these circum- stances a drop dose of the wine of ipecac, or J grain (0.015) of the powdered ipecac, every hour, is of the greatest value, often succeeding after all other remedies have failed. In other instances tincture of nux vomica, given in J- to 1-minim (0.025-0.05) doses, is useful as follows: 1$ — Tincturse nucis vomicae gtt. iv vel viij (0.25-0.5). Aquae cinnamomi f oj (30.0). — M. S. — Teaspoonful (4.0) every half-hour or later. In the nausea and vomiting following an alcoholic debauch -?,- to 1 minim (0.025-0.05) of Fowler's solution every two hours, or before 844 DISEASES 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 minims (0.3-0.60-1.0) of the dilute acid in half a tumblerful of water, repeated every two hours. In all cases of persistent vomiting counterirritation 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 electrode of the rapidly interrupted induced or faradic current between the sternoclavicular muscles while the negative electrode is placed on the epigastrium will give relief. In still other cases the skin over the vagus nerves in the neck may be frozen by the use of a chloride of ethyl spray, or blisters may be applied in its stead. The food given in cases of vomiting should be especially prepared. It is always best to use peptonized milk, made by using the pepton- izing materials sold by several reliable drug firms. (See Diet, Part III.) Lime-water should always be put in the milk if it is not peptonized; the small amount usually employed is perfectly useless, at least 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls (30.0-45.0) should be placed in each glass of milk. Another point of importance is the quantity of liquid taken. As fast as the patient vomits 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. Often milk will disagree with the patient, and then he may be given with excellent result barley gruel, which has been strained, and follow it by 3 grains (0.20) of taka-diastase or a drachm (4.0) of liquid taka-diastase. In its place strained gruel made from wheaten grits, oatmeal, or rice may also be used. Where vomiting is persistent enemata previously partly or entirely digested must be resorted to to sustain strength. WHOOPING-COUGH. The remedies recommended for this disease are almost as numerous 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 antipyrine. Given in the dose of \ to 3 grains (0.03-0.20) 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 pro- phylactic in other children of the family who it is feared will be attacked WORMS 845 by the same disease. The strength of the solution to be employed should be about 1 grain (0.06) to the ounce of water. There is no doubt that carburetted hydrogen as inhaled in the air at gas-works 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 minims (0.10) twice a day to a child of one or two years. Where paroxysms come on so rapidly as to interfere seriously with respiration, the child should inhale a whiff of chloroform, the drug being poured over the parent's hand, and so relax the spasm, while in other instances nitrite of amyl is equally serviceable. Only 2 or 3 minims 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, care being taken that no fire or light is present. In France it has been used internally in the dose of 10 to 15 minims (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. Usually it will be found advisable to modify the severity and fre- quency 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 Ascaris lum- bricoides or round-worm; Tsenia medio canellata, Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, and Bothriocephalus latus, or tape-worm; and, finally, by Oxyuris vermicularis, sometimes called seal-, fin-, or thread-worm. A very much rarer form of intestinal parasite, but one which is quite frequently found in some parts of the world, is Anchylostoma duo- denale. The round-worm, tape-worm, and anchylostoma are to be attacked by way of the patient's mouth, the seat- worm by way of the anal open- ing; 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 846 DISEASES 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. In addition, 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 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 fluidextract, 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; santonin, dose \ to \ grain (0.015-0.03) to a child in the form of a troche, made by using the crystals, or as much as 2 to 4 grains (0.12-0.25) to an adult. (See Santonin.) 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. Bray era, 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 (480 Cc.) of water and mucilage of acacia, one-half of each. This may be taken at one dose, or the fluidextract may be given in the dose of h ounce (16.0) to an adult. Koosin may be given in 40-grain (2.60) doses in capsule to adults, but it should not be used against worms in pregnant women, as it may cause abortion. The most efficient remedy against the tape-worm is pelletierine, the active principle of pomegranate, dose 3 to 5 grains (0.20-0.30) in capsule; or pepo, or pumpkin-seeds (2 ounces [60.0]), 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 flow should be made to 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 symptoms of poisoning. For the removal of Ankylostoma duodenale, thymol in the dose of 2 to 4 grains (0.12-0.25) or more may be given in capsule once a day and followed by a purge. By far the most useful remedy for seat-worms is quassia used by WORMS 847 injection. One to 2 ounces (30.0-60.0) of powdered quassia or quassia chips may be made into a decoction with a pint (480 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 was 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. DOSES OF MEDICINES. The doses in this table are commonly employed.
