_Fever, Intermittent or Ague, and Remittent or Jungle Fever._ Commence with an aperient, as in Fever (_ante_), and should the stomach be foul give an emetic of Country Ipecacuanha (368). _In the cold stage_, cover the body well up with blankets, give Infusion of Ginger (156), and place bags containing hot sand or hot salt along the spine. _In the hot stage_, give plentifully of Lemonade (232), Solution of Nitre (264), and adopt generally the other measures advised above in Fever. _In the sweating stage_, do nothing but protect the surface from cold draughts of air or cold wind. In the intermission or periods between the paroxysms give one of the following: Atís (42), Bonduc Nut (52), Chiretta (98), Sulphate of Iron (175), Ním Bark (260), or Gulancha (352). When one fails another may succeed; when each fails, given singly, they will sometimes prove effectual given in combination. They are all greatly inferior in efficacy to Quinine and Cinchona Febrifuge (401, 403). _For these Fevers in Natives_, Galls, with Chiretta and Sweet Flag Root (12), have been favourably spoken of. _Swelling of left side after Ague_, see _Spleen, Enlargement of_. In mild, ordinary, uncomplicated cases of _Intermittent Fever_, all that is required, due attention being paid to the state of the bowels and secretions, is to administer Quinine in doses of from three to five grains, so that 10 or 12 grains be taken in the intermissions between the paroxysms. It is best given in solution, in water or coffee. In the severer forms, or even in ordinary cases, Professor Maclean, of the Netley Hospital, has proposed a treatment which appears very judicious, and which in his hands has for years proved very successful. It consists in administering 30 grains in three equal doses during the period of intermission; the first dose, in solution, should be given towards the close of the sweating stage, and the last about as far as can be calculated, an hour before the next anticipated paroxysm. Should there be much irritability of the stomach, it should be given in enema in doses of 15 grains in place of 10 grains. After the paroxysm has by this means been arrested, a moderate degree of cinchonism, _i.e._, giddiness, buzzing in the ears, flashing before the eyes, &c., should be maintained for some days, by giving three or four grains in solution every four hours. In cases where the fever returns at the first lunar period, as it is apt to do, the patient a day or two previously should be brought under the influence of Quinine, which should be maintained until the time is past. Should it fail to influence the fever, attention should be directed to the state of the liver and bowels. When from any cause it cannot be given internally, trial may be made with it applied endermically; the experiments of Dr. Guastamacchia and others tending to prove that it becomes absorbed into the system through the skin, and operates as an antiperiodic almost as certainly as when given internally.
