Third, In the incipient stage of the first variety of the second species, we must avoid motion, and all other such causes as tend simply to increase action. When the disease has consisted of one short paroxysm, which has terminated, we must promote the absorption of the diseased granulations, and the process of replacing them with others which are more perfect, which is effected by such remedies as render the action which forms them more natural. This is best done by gentle pressure, and sometimes by poultices. If, however, the paroxysm continue longer, but in a moderate degree, we must use such applications as tend more directly to change the action, and diminish the morbid condition; such as camphorated and opiated preparations, and sometimes the vegetable acids. Fourth, When this state becomes confirmed and progressive, the action being violent, we must use remedies nearly similar to those which are employed in the last case, and which are useful in the cure of the inflammatio debilis, at the same time that we enjoin rest, and keep the part as easy as possible. In some instances, the action cannot be overcome directly by any application, but is rather increased by them. In this case, we must lay these aside, and use mild and light applications; such as fine oil, fresh cream, &c.; at the same time that we avoid the general causes tending to increase action; such as motion, heat, spirits, &c. Fifth, When this state occurs in chronic ulcers, we must use such remedies as tend to remove the dead or dying granulations which frequently cover the surface, and such as at the same time produce a more natural action, and restore to the succeeding granulations greater powers and perfection, and a more healthy mode of acting. Stimulating applications frequently have this effect; such as the fermenting poultice, precipitate ointment, &c.; at other times, narcotic applications; such as cicuta, &c. are useful. Sixth, In these ulcers, the redness and pain of the skin which surrounds the ulcer, is to be treated as the inflammatio assuefacta, by being dusted with the powder which has been already mentioned, or by similar remedies. Seventh, In all of these ulcers, where the action is violent, much benefit will be derived from inducing the general narcotic action to a considerable extent. Anodynes are therefore to be freely administered, at the same time that we employ the proper local remedies. Eighth, Whenever the ulcer becomes more healthy, and the action less morbid, the strength of the application is to be diminished; and, when the state of overaction is destroyed, it must be treated as the indolent ulcer, because the granulations are still feeble. Pressure is most useful in this case. GENUS IV. _Of the Inflammatory Ulcer._
