I was informed by Dr. Young, physician to the army, that he found an infusion of chamæmile flowers one of the best medicines in this vomiting; and a surgeon of one of the line-of-battle ships informed me, that he also found advantage from it in alleviating this symptom. The French author above mentioned affirms, that milk, boiled with some flour or bread, given in the quantity of a spoonful at a time, and frequently repeated, had more effect than any thing he tried in stopping the vomiting in this fever. I have seen this symptom relieved by fomenting the stomach with stupes wrung from the decoction of bark, and sprinkled with camphorated spirits and tincture of bark[109]. But nothing I have ever seen tried had so great an effect in removing this irritability of stomach as a blister applied to it externally; and it is a remedy which, so far as I know, has not been hitherto recommended. In other fevers, when the head was not particularly affected, I preferred this part for the application of a blister, for it is in some respects more convenient than between the shoulders, and the stomach is the part more affected perhaps than any other in all fevers. But in this fever I was led to apply it to this part, both from its being affected in an uncommon degree, and from observing, upon inspecting the bodies of those who died, that the only morbid appearance that could be discovered was an inflammatory suffusion on the inner membranes of the stomach. I have employed opiates both externally and internally to allay this symptom, but without the effect that might have been expected from so powerful a sedative. As the stomach will seldom, even in the most favourable cases, bear such a quantity of bark as to subdue the disease, it must be exhibited in every other way that can be thought of, such as by clyster and by external fomentation, both of which I have employed with good effect. I used to order a pint of decoction of bark to be injected every three or four hours, and the fomentation to be employed nearly as often. I have heard of the decoction of bark being used as a warm bath with success; but I cannot decide concerning this practice from my own experience. I have no other internal remedy to recommend; for whatever power of retention the stomach may have should be employed in taking bark. If it should become tolerably retentive, camphor will be found of service; and if given in the evening with an opiate, perspiration and sleep will probably be procured, by which the patient will be greatly relieved. Blisters to the thighs and legs seemed to coincide with the general intention of cure, and they appeared to be of advantage in the cases in which they were tried. 4.
