_Consumption, Pulmonary (Phthisis)._ The persevering use of Fish Liver Oil (138) is chiefly to be relied upon, with or without Lime Water and Milk (226), as an ordinary drink. _As a preventive_ sponge the chest daily with diluted Vinegar (378). Mustard Poultices (247) or Croton Liniment (122) to the chest sometimes gives relief to _the Cough and Difficulty of Breathing_, as does the inhalation of the vapour of Hot Water (390) or Decoction of Abelmoschus (3). _For the Diarrhœa_, try the Alum Powders (26) or Sulphate of Copper (110). _For the excessive Perspirations_, sponge the chest with Vinegar (378). _For the Sore Mouth or Fissures of the Tongue_, apply Borax (55), or Alum (29). _For Bleeding from the Lungs_ try some of the means mentioned in _Hæmorrhage, Internal_. _Convulsions in Adults, arising without evident cause_, are best treated by cold Affusion (386), Mustard Poultices (248), or Turpentine Stupes (363) to the feet and legs, and a strong purgative, as Croton Pills (120), Croton Oil (121), or Kaladana (187). If the patient be unable to swallow, a Turpentine enema (364) may be used. _When the Convulsions are due to poisons, &c., taken into the stomach_, an emetic of Mustard (246) or Sulphate of Copper (117) should precede all other measures. _In the Convulsions of Labour_, Turpentine Stupes (363) or Mustard Poultices (248) should be applied to the extremities, and Evaporating Lotion (380) to the head, whilst Camphor and Calomel Pills (73), or Borax and Cinnamon (58), are given internally. A Turpentine enema (364) may also prove useful. _The Convulsions of Children_ are best treated with a Hot Bath (387), and a full dose of Castor Oil (83), preceded by one or two grains of Calomel when at hand, or a dose or two of Asafœtida Mixture (36). _In the Convulsions of Infancy and Childhood_, especially when the cause is obscure, unconnected with teething, &c., Bromide of Potassium is often more serviceable than any other remedy, in doses of a quarter of a grain for a child under six weeks of age, half a grain under three months, one grain above that age to nine months, and one grain additional for every year up to three or four years of age. And these doses may be safely repeated every two, three, or four hours until the convulsions subside. The smaller doses may be obtained with exactitude by dissolving, say, one grain of the Bromide in four teaspoonfuls of water, and giving one, two, or three spoonfuls, or the whole quantity, as one quarter, one half, one third, or one grain respectively is required. It is worthy of a fair trial in all cases which resist ordinary means, but should not be used to the exclusion of the hot bath and careful regulation of the bowels. When the child is very much exhausted, a few drops of Brandy, three to six, or more, according to age, are often most useful. Convulsions of early childhood are frequently connected with teething, hence lancing the gums is often of essential benefit.
