The complaints or the diseases induced by dentition are numberless, affecting almost every organ of the body, the brain, occasioning convulsions, water on the brain, &c.; the lungs, producing congestion, inflammation, cough, &c.; the stomach, exciting sickness, flatulence, acidity, &c,; the bowels, inducing griping, at one time costiveness, and at another time purging; the skin, causing "breakings-out."
To these worshippers his breakings-out, as his periods of intemperance were called in his own set, were his moments of peculiar inspiration his divine frenzies, in which he communicated most closely with those deities who preside over trade transactions; his Eleusinian mysteries, to approach him in which was permitted only to a few of the most favoured.
These "breakings-out" generally show themselves more upon the wrist, and sometimes up one or both of the nostrils. While in the latter disease the unprotected small-pox the "breaking-out" is composed entirely of pustules containing matter, and which pustules are more on the face than on any other part of the body.
Cleanliness is one of the grand incentives to health, and therefore cannot be too strongly insisted upon. If more attention were paid to this subject, children would be more exempt from chafings, "breakings-out," and consequent suffering, than they at present are.
I have known it, in several instances, produce violent pain, sickness, purging, and convulsions. If a child be fed much, upon such meat, it will be likely to produce "breakings-out" on the skin. In fine, his blood will put on the same character as the food he is fed with. Moreover, pork might be considered a strong meat, and "strong meat and strong drink can only be taken by strong men."
Inoculated small-pox frequently produced and left behind inveterate "breakings-out," scars, cicatrices, and indentations of the skin, sore eyes, blindness, loss of eyelashes, scrofula, deafness indeed, a long catalogue of loathsome diseases. A medical man, of course, will be careful to take the cow-pox matter from a healthy child. Would it not be well to take the matter direct from the cow?
An infant's clothes, napkins especially, ought never to be washed with soda; the washing of napkins with soda is apt to produce excoriations and breakings-out. Who is the proper person to wash and dress the babe?
