Half a grain of calomel may be regarded as equivalent to two grains of grey powder or blue pill. I shall speak afterwards of other medicines, which may in various circumstances be given, to act upon the bowels; but the above include all that are at all fit for common use in the nursery.
The best cure for any wound thus attacked, and swarming with live maggots, is a teaspoonful of calomel applied and rubbed into the deep sore. I have seen the Arabs in the Soudan adopt a most torturing remedy when a camel has suffered from a fly-blown sore back.
His master would not consent to this; and, as the dog occasionally ate a little, we contrived to give a grain each of calomel and opium every sixth hour. In the course of three days he was materially recovered. He could stand, but was exceedingly weak, I ordered the calomel lo be omitted, but the opium to be continued.
Learning that she was fond of sweet things, I prepared an emetic containing a grain of calomel and a grain of tartar emetic: she took it readily, and I promised to call on the following day. Sept. 3. The weakness at the eyes had disappeared, but there had been no motion.
"Doc felt my pulse, and then he began to mess up some calomel with an agricultural implement that belonged to the trowel class. "'I don't want any death-mask made yet, Doc, I says, 'nor my liver put in a plaster-of-Paris cast. I'm sick; and it's medicine I need, not frescoing. "'You're a blame Yankee, ain't you? asked Doc, going on mixing up his Portland cement.
He ought to keep his feet warm and dry. He should take as little aperient medicine as possible, avoiding especially both calomel and blue pill. As he grows up to manhood he ought to allow his beard to grow, as such would be a natural covering for his throat. I have known great benefit to arise from this simple plan.
You can carry it in your hip-pocket, and you can cut down a tree with it. One medicine case containing quinine, calomel, and Sun Cholera Mixture in tablets. Toilet-case for razors, tooth-powder, brushes, and paper. Folding bath-tub of rubber in rubber case. These are manufactured to fold into a space little larger than a cigar-box. Two towels old, and soft. Three cakes of soap.
Johnny's father was a physician, adopting modern methods of surgery and prescription, yet his mind harked back to cupping and calomel, and now and then he swerved aside from his path across the field of the present into the future and plunged headlong, as if for fresh air, into the traditional past, and often with brilliant results. Johnny's mother was a college graduate.
An oven, exposed to every wind and change of weather, is no place to take calomel; but nothing else would do, and strong remedies must be used, or he was gone. The applications, internal and external, were powerful, and I gave him strict directions to keep warm and sheltered, telling him it was his only chance for life.
Fulminating meningitis. That the child had died of apomorphine, a totally distinct poison. That it had received and taken calomel, but that, having eaten a small piece of pickle shortly before, the conjunction of the vegetable acid with the calomel had formed, in the child's stomach, a precipitate of corrosive sublimate, from which it had died. These were all argued with great learning.
