TO PREVENT CHOLERA.
Camphor (pellets medicated with the pure tincture) Veratrum 3d, and Arsenicum 3d, should be taken in rotation—a dose morning, noon and night, in the order named; so as to take a dose of each every twenty-four hours. If any sense of weakness or trembling comes on, use the Camphor oftener; if pain or uneasiness in the bowels threatening diarrhœa, use the Veratrum, and for increased thirst with uneasiness at the stomach Arsenicum more frequently.
TO PREVENT DIARRHŒA
Where it is prevailing as an epidemic, Ipecac at night, and Veratrum in the morning will often suffice. For teething children give Ipecac and Chamomilla in the same manner.
TO PREVENT DYSENTERY
In hot weather when bilious diseases prevail, use Mercurius 3d, Podophyllin 2d, and Leptandrin 1st in rotation, giving one dose a day.
In the winter, or when Typhoid fevers prevail, use Mercurius and Rhus tox. alternately a dose every day.
TO PREVENT ITCH.
A dose of Sulphur, or rubbing a little flour of sulphur on the hands, will generally suffice.
