Hydriatic treatment of Scarlet Fever in its Different Forms

by Charles Munde

115. VARIOLOIDS AND CHICKEN-POCKS.

Varioloids and Chicken-pocks, are treated in the same manner, but require less treatment. If well attended to, neither small-pox, nor varioloids or chicken-pocks, will leave any marks.

116. MEASLES.

Measles, which may be easily distinguished from scarlatina, by the symptoms I have given under 29, are to be treated like the mildest forms of scarlet-fever, and, in most cases, require no treatment at all. Nervous affections are treated like those of scarlet-fever (92, &c.).—As measles are more dangerous to adults than to children, whose skin is much more active, they had better take packs, without waiting for an increase of the symptoms.

117. URTICARIA, ZOSTER, RUBEOLA.

Urticaria, Zoster and Rubeola, are treated in the same manner as measles: the main feature, however, is the pack.
