It should be given at the first or second dilution, once in four or six hours, and three or four drops of the tincture put into a teaspoonful of water, and the mouth occasionally washed with the mixture. In summer, where agues prevail, and the child is feverish and restless, _China_ will aid in the cure, to be given once in six hours between the doses of the _Eupatorium_. If the diarrhoea is obstinate, the discharges colored, and the child is sick at the stomach, give _Podophyllin_ with the other remedies. Inflammation of the Eyes--Ophthalmia. For common Ophthalmia, in the early stages, while there is more or less fever and headache, with flushed face, bloodshot eyes and throbbing of the temporal arteries, _Bell._ and _Aconite_ should be used alternately every two hours, and a wash made with ten drops of tincture of Aconite to one gill of pure water, applied to the eyes as hot as the patient can bear. This application should be repeated every two hours, in a violent case, until the eyes are easy, and then about twice a day until all inflammation and redness pass off. This will relieve a large proportion of cases in from one to four days. If, however, the case continues obstinate for a longer time, or has been of a week or more standing before the treatment is commenced, in the place of Bell., or after using it one or two days, use _Hydrastus_ with the _Aconite_, giving them alternately at intervals of two to six hours, according to the stage of the case--more frequently as the symptoms are more urgent, using washes prepared of each separately, as directed for Aconite, except that the Hydrastus wash may be twice as strong; and apply each about half as often as the same medicine is taken internally. The wash should, in all cases of acute inflammation of the eyes, be as hot as it can be borne. Let it be put into the eyes so as to come directly in contact with the inflamed surface. Simple hot water applied to inflamed eyes for hours together, allowing short intervals between the applications, will often cure most painful cases. _Never apply cold_ to inflamed eyes. It always aggravates. When the inflammation is in a scrofulous person, especially in infants, it assumes a purulent character, and may leave the cornea in clouded (nebulous) condition, and the sight more or less obliterated. For this condition use _Conium_ first, and apply it _in tinct._, half water, to the eyes every four hours. Wounds and Bruises. On this subject, I must necessarily be very brief. When a wound is inflicted, the first and most important thing to be done is to _arrest the flow of blood_. Every one should know how to do this. The bleeding is to be stopped, and the wounded vessels to be secured, so that no further flow can take place.
