[Footnote 2] The above woodcut, and the mode of applying it, is reprinted by permission from _First Help in Accidents_, by Dr. C. H. Schaibe, published by R. Hardwicke, 192 Piccadilly, London. A very useful little book. _Hæmorrhage from the Lungs, Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys, Uterus, or other Internal Organs_, if attended by feverishness and heat of skin, a solution of Nitre (267) or Sal Ammoniac (330) may be given, with the plentiful use of Lemonade (233), Tamarind drink (346), Vinegar (379), and other refrigerants. In the absence of fever, Alum (25) may be given with safety and advantage. A far more effectual remedy in these cases is the Acetate of Lead in doses of three or four grains, made into a pill with half a grain of Opium, and followed immediately by a draught containing a little vinegar. These pills and draughts may be repeated every three or four hours till the bleeding begins to abate, when the interval between the doses may be lengthened, and the quantities decreased. In all these cases a perfect rest in a recumbent posture, in a cool, well-ventilated apartment, and the avoidance of all excitement and stimulants, are essential to the success of the above, or any other remedies. In these cases Ice externally applied in bags exercises a marked influence in checking internal hæmorrhage, especially from the lungs. It should not be kept on sufficiently long to produce a chill. Sucking small pieces of ice is also a useful practice. _Exhaustion from excessive Hæmorrhage_ requires Brandy Mixture (426) and other stimulants. _Hæmorrhage after Labour_, see _Labours_. _From Piles_, see _Piles_. _Hæmorrhage from the Nose_ may generally be checked by one of the following simple means: 1. the application of a cold body, as a key or a piece of ice to the nape of the neck. 2. By compressing the _opposite_ nostril. 3. By standing in the upright position and holding both arms in the air for a few minutes. If these measures fail, recourse may be had to Alum (25*), Sulphate of Copper (116), or Vinegar (379). Should feverishness be present, treat as directed in preceding article. _Hæmorrhage from Leech Bites._ _See_ Paragraph 205. _Head, Affections of, where there is determination of blood to the head, with sleeplessness, restlessness, and anxiety._ Mustard Bath (249*).
