Tonics, as Chiretta (98, 99*), Sweet Flag Root (12), Country Sarsaparilla (163), and Guluncha (352), combined with stomachics, as Cloves (105), or Cinnamon (102), Capsicum (79), and Omum Water (318*), offer the best prospect of success. With great increased Secretion, Butea Gum (62). With acidity of the Stomach, Lime Water (221). With torpidity of the Bowels, Tincture of Kariyát (192), Without strict attention to diet, and careful regulation of the bowels and other secretions, medicines will have comparatively little effect.
Inflammations, Local or External.

A solution of Acetate of Lead (30 grains in a pint of water) forms an excellent soothing lotion, and one which may always be resorted to with safety. The inflamed parts should be kept constantly wet with it by means of moistened cloths.

Insensibility.
From whatever cause arising, may be treated in the first instance by the cautious use of Cold Water Affusion (386). A Turpentine enema (364) may also be of service.
