That large doses, such as are mentioned above, may be given with perfect safety, without fear of ill effects; and 4. That it is less successful with the natives of India than with Europeans. In the acute dysentery of natives, small doses, _e.g._, from six to eight grains thrice daily, so as to keep up a slight degree of nausea, short of actual vomiting, seem to answer better than the large doses mentioned above. It may be advantageously combined with Opium, from a quarter to half a grain with each dose. _When of malarious origin or when occurring in the course of periodical Fevers_, Quinine (three to five grains twice or thrice daily) should form part of whatever other treatment is being followed. _In the advanced stages, or when it passes into Chronic Dysentery_, apply Turpentine Stupes (362) to the abdomen, and give Sulphate of Copper (110), Bael (44), Infusion of Kariyát (191), Decoction of Pomegranate Rind (312), or Sal Ammoniac (331). When an aperient is required, give Sulphur and Cream of Tartar (344) or Castor Oil, with the addition of a small portion of Opium. _For the Dysentery of Natives_, Decoction of Sweet Flag (13), Galls (146), Mudar (243), Opium (289a), and Decoction of Pomegranate Rind (312) seem best suited. _For the Chronic Dysentery of Children_ the Saccharated Solution of Lime (220), Bael (44), Sulphate of Copper (110), or Sulphate of Iron (181) are indicated. See also _Diarrhœa of Children_. N.B.—In all cases of dysentery the food should be mild and unirritating, and a flannel bandage worn round the abdomen. Soups containing mucilage of Abelmoschus (2) prove useful. _Dysmenorrhœa._ See _Menstruation, Painful_. _Dyspepsia._ See _Indigestion_. _Ear, Discharges from, in Scrofulous Subjects._ Syringe the ear daily with Lime Water (225), or tepid water, or milk and water, and give Fish Liver Oil internally (138). _Buzzing or Noises in the Ear_ often depend upon an accumulation of wax in the outer passage; to remove this and effect a cure all that is necessary in many cases is to insert a drop or two of sweet oil for an hour or two, and then to syringe the ear well out with tepid water or soap and water, and repeat the same twice or thrice daily. This also sometimes relieves _Ear-Ache_: if not, use Opium as directed in Paragraph 292. _Elephantiasis._ The paroxysms of fever which accompany this disease are to be treated in the manner directed for Intermittent Fever (_infra_). The only means of arresting the progress of the disease is to remove permanently from a locality in which it is endemic or prevalent to another situated at least ten miles distant from the sea-coast; the higher and drier the site the better.
