11. Leucorrhea, a New York Doctor's Remedy for.—"Fluid extract of Oregon grape root (sometimes called mild grape) mixed with a simple syrup and given in teaspoonful doses, three times a day, is recommended by Dr. W. W. Myers, as a curative for leucorrhea."
PHYSICIANS' TREATMENT.—First is to do away, if possible, with local disease, like inflammations, tear of the cervix, etc. The general system should be built up with tonics. The same treatment as for anemia and chlorosis will be usual for this trouble. Refer to those diseases.
Local.—The vagina should be kept as clean as possible with the hot water injections. To the hot water many simple remedies can be added with much benefit.
1. One ounce of white oak bark in a pint of boiling water makes a good injection for this trouble. Before any medicine is used the vagina should always be washed out by an injection of warm water. Then follow with the indicated injection and retain it as long as possible.
2. Tannic acid and glycerin, equal parts, one ounce to two quarts of warm water, is a good injection.
3. Lloyd's Golden Seal is splendid, used in the proportion of four teaspoonsful to a pint of warm water.
4. This combination gives good service:—
Sulphate of Zinc 1 dram
Sulphate of Alum 1 dram
Glycerin 6 ounces
Put a tablespoonful to each quart of warm water and use as injection.
It is well to remember the injections must be given in large quantities, and used in a fountain syringe. A gallon can be used at one time.
