He recognises me for the first time. His appetite, which was never much impaired, has returned: this is to be attributed to strychnia, or the seton, or the daily aperient mixture. They have all, perhaps, been serviceable, but I attribute most to the strychnia; for I have rarely, indeed, seen any dog recover from such an attack. Continue the treatment. 6th. Fast recovering. Medicine as before.
Some aperient medicine was given, which was retained on the stomach, and enemas and external stimulants were resorted to, but two days afterwards he died. The intestines were examined, and the offending body was found to be a common pebble. The dog had long been accustomed to fetch stones out of the water.
They are accounted carminative, aperient, emollient, and in some measure anodyne: and stand recommended in flatulent colics, for promoting the uterine purgations, in spasmodic affections, and the pains of women in child-bed: sometimes they have been employed in intermittent fevers, and the nephritis.
There were some oedema of the leg to which he is subject, and much pain and inflammation of the ulcers. I directed the application of a cold poultice and lotion, and prescribed the pil. hydrarg. every second night with an aperient draught the following morning. This plan of treatment was continued for a number of days without any appearance of healing in the ulcers.
If the bowels are at all constipated, half a grain of grey powder or a quarter of a grain of calomel may be given, followed by a small dose of castor oil, and the aperient will often seem to hasten the disappearance of the jaundice; but in a large number of cases even this amount of medical interference is not needed.
They are accounted aperient and diuretic, and have also been celebrated as aphrodisiac: their virtues, however, are too weak to admit them under the head of medicines. The candied root is ordered to be kept in the shops. Lewis's Mat. Med. FERULA assafoetida. ASSAFOETIDA. Gum. L. E. D. This drug has a strong fetid smell, somewhat like that of garlick; and a bitter, acrid, biting taste.
If we employ a wet sheet and a mild aperient in combination with quinine, in addition to the native remedies, they are an important aid in curing the fever, as they seem to have the same stimulating effects on the alimentary canal as these means have on the external surface.
The Seine is narrow, and very dirty; its waters, which are finely filtrated when drawn from the fountains of Paris, produce an aperient effect upon strangers, who are generally cautioned not to drink much of them at a time.
Let him have plenty of fresh air, exercise, and play. If the boil should arise from gross and improper feeding, then keep him for a time from meat, and let him live principally on a milk and farinaceous diet. If the child be fat and gross, cod-liver oil would he improper; a mild aperient, such as rhubarb and magnesia, would then be the best medicine. What are the symptoms of Ear-ache?
L. E. D. Savine is a warm irritating aperient medicine, capable of promoting all the glandular secretions. The distilled oil is one of the most powerful emmenagogues; and is found of good service in obstructions of the uterus, or other viscra, proceeding from a laxity and weakness of the vessels, or a cold sluggish indisposition of the juices.
