Injections of mucillage of slippery elm should be carefully used to move the bowels daily, or at least once in two days. Let the diet be of corn or oat meal mush, or rice. As the tumor gradually sloughs off, the surface heals, so that, though the base where the ligature was applied, may have been an inch or more across it, there will not be a raw surface of over an eighth of an inch in diameter, to which _Calendula Cerate_ should be applied. The patient must keep quiet for a few days longer. Though this is a painful operation, it is not in the slightest degree dangerous. I have effected complete and permanent cures by this mode in numerous instances. Sea-Sickness. _Nux Vomica_ should be used once in about four hours, for twelve hours before sailing, as a preventive to sea-sickness. If, however, symptoms, such as dizziness or blur before the eyes, and headache, begin to come on, a dose of _Nux_ should be taken, followed in an hour with _Pulsatilla_. If the nausea comes on, _Ipecac_ and _Arsenicum_ should be taken alternately between the paroxysms of vomiting, should that symptom appear. If practicable, the patient should lay still upon the back until the sickness passes off. I have removed sea-sickness immediately in several instances with _Pulsatilla_ alone, and the last time I had an opportunity to prescribe for this affection I gave _Podophyllin_. It removed all the symptoms in a few minutes. That is the only time I ever tried it, but from the provings I am satisfied it is one of the best remedies. Asiatic Cholera. I was practicing in Cincinnati during the prevalence of Cholera in the years 1849, and 1850, and in Northern Ohio in 1854, and had abundant opportunity to observe and treat it. The disease generally begins with a diarrhoea, which may continue for several days, or only a few hours before other symptoms set in, such as vomiting, then cramping in the stomach and muscles of the legs, arms, hands and feet, followed by cold sweats, great prostration, restlessness, excessive and burning thirst, drinks being immediately rejected. These symptoms continue, the patient sinking rapidly into _collapse_, when the skin looks blue and shriveled, the eyes sunken, the surface covered with a cold, clammy sweat, the extremities, nose, ears, tongue and breath cold, the voice hollow and unnatural. This condition continues from two to eight or ten hours, the patient regularly failing, sometimes becoming delirious before he dies. In some cases the vomiting and diarrhoea set in simultaneously, and the other symptoms follow, as above described, in rapid succession. In others the cramping may be the first symptom, the others following it. In a large proportion of cases, the disease takes the course first described above, the diarrhoea, called the _premonitory symptoms_, or sometimes _cholerine_, coming on several hours, if not a day or more, before any other symptoms.
