Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ...that the suppositories are to be passed into the empty boweL (4.) To bring down Pulse and Temperature.--In early stages tincture of aconite is invaluable. Tincturae Aconiti 3 ij. Sig. Six drops are to be put in a wine-glass containing six teaspoonfuls of water. Give a teaspoonful every quarter of an hour. Drop doses of aconite are of great value. They should be given every quarter of an hour until the pulse is reduced and sweating brought on. If this fail and the temperature keep high, quinine in 15-grain doses should be tried. The salicylate of quinine is a good preparation and is given just as quinine is. When the stomach is irritable the quinine, in 20-grain doses, suspended in an ounce of mucilage, may be given per rectum. Sometimes the ice-cap is useful.

Ice is not generally used as a local application in this country, and has its disadvantages. Of greater use are large hot linseed poultices. They should be made very hot, a layer of flannel intervening between them and the skin, and should be covered with a layer or two of cotton. Such a poultice will be effective for 2 or 3 hours. Blisters and turpentine stupes are good, but soon render the skin so sore that after-treatment by poultices is difficult. The hot vaginal douche (as directed at page 145), with carbolic acid added in septic cases, should on no account be omitted. Encysted serous collections should, as a general rule, be left to be absorbed. When...
