Now mark the result of this simple, uncombined remedy. In the evening of the same day all the urgent symptoms were assuaged, the purging and vomiting had ceased, the pulse was raised, the surface of the body had become warm and moist with perspiration, the pain around the umbilicus diminished, and the cramps less violent, but the countenance still bore the appearance of great anxiety. Such were the immediate results of the administration of this remedy, which appear, from the subsequent history of the case, to have been permanent and unattended with any constitutional derangement, or other serious and unpleasant effect. On the morning of the next day the patient was steadily improving; much of the anxiety of countenance had vanished, but the pain in the belly and cramps of the legs still remained, though much relieved. On the second morning after the attack the patient was very much better; no pain in the belly, and does not feel sick from the turpentine. On the third morning the patient was up, and, though exceedingly weak, there was no trace of any alarming symptom remaining. The bowels had moved from the effects of a previous dose of calomel (two grains) given the next morning after the attack, and the evacuation was much more healthful. A mild tonic and alterative plan of treatment was all that was necessary to restore the patient to her usual health, and she is now well. The remedy was given at first every two hours, then every four, and lastly every six hours. This treatment commenced on the 26th and terminated on the morning of the 29th. Its duration about sixty hours, when the patient is declared convalescent and comparatively well. Here we might ask, What experiment with any single remedy has been more important and satisfactory in indicating and directly pointing out a general principle of practice for the successful treatment and cure of this formidable disease? We say single remedy, for it is doubtful whether the two grains of calomel exercised any curative influence whatever, or in any way varied the result. It is, therefore, to the use of the rectified oil of turpentine that the favorable termination and cure of the disease is to be attributed.
