In the early stage, that which might be called premonitory, while the patient is yet able to be about his business, but is complaining of the symptoms above named, he should, as far as possible, abstain from exercise and food, and take of _Baptisia_ and _Phosphorus_ alternately, a dose once in three hours. These will almost invariably produce amendment in a few days, and as soon as he improves _any_, leave off the medicines. Should there be diarrhoea present, use _Phos. acid_ instead of Phosphorus. If the patient is delirious or has fullness and redness of the face, the eyes red, and headache, give _Belladonna_ in rotation with the other two. For the foul breath that comes on, use _Mercurius cor._, especially if the diarrhoea assumes a reddish tinge, like beef brine. Should the fever at any time rise high, the pulse being full and hard, give _Aconite_, but it rarely happens that Aconite is useful in the later stage. If the patient complains of pains in the back, and fullness of the head, give _Macrotin_. This is particularly useful for persons who have rheumatic pains in the limbs or back, during the fever. If the evacuations from the bowels are dark, or yellow and consistent, or there is bilious vomiting, _Podophyllin_ is the remedy. From some cause or other, to me wholly unaccountable, the writers generally have laid down _Rhus_ and _Bryonia_ as _the_ remedies in typhoid fever. I must confess I have no confidence in them for this fever as it prevails, and has for several years past, in this country. They have proved a failure, and I discard them altogether, as I am confident, from thorough trial, we have much more reliable remedies as a substitute for Rhus in the _Podophyllin_, and for Bryonia in the _Macrotin_. In the early stage, or at any time to arrest febrile and inflammatory symptoms, the _Baptisia_ is much more potent than Aconite, its symptoms corresponding peculiarly with typhoid fever. If the discharges become slimy or bloody, give _Leptandrin_ and _Nit. acid_. It is important to bathe in this disease. Scarlet Fever.--Scarlatina.
