1. Bleeding, from four to sixty ounces, according to the age of the patient, and the state of the pulse. This remedy relieved the cough, eased the pains in the head, and in one case produced, when used a third time, an immediate eruption of the measles.
2. Lenient purges.
3. Demulcent drinks.
4. Opiates at night.
5. Blisters. And,
6. Astringent medicines, where a diarrhœa took place.
I saw evident advantages from advising a vegetable diet to many children, as soon as any one of the families to which they belonged were attacked by the measles.
I lost but one patient in this disease, and that was a child in convulsions. I ascribed my success to bleeding more generally and more copiously than I had been accustomed to do, in the measles of former years.
