_Menstrual Discharge, Suspension, or Irregularity of_ (_Amenorrhœa_). Aloes (18), Borax (58), and Sulphate of Iron (174*), alone or combined, may prove serviceable. Try also hip bath with Sesamum Seeds (338_a_). _Excessive or long-continued Menstruation_, Alum (25) and Vinegar (379). _When attended with much pain and distress_ (_Dysmenorrhœa_), Opium Liniment (291) or Datura Poultice or Liniment (130) to the loins; also hip bath containing Sesamum Seeds, which also may be tried internally (338_a_). _Mercury, salts of, as Corrosive Sublimate, Poisoning by._ If vomiting is not already present it must be excited by a Mustard (246) or other emetic, and the stomach having thus been emptied of any of the poison it may contain, prompt recourse should be had to the white and yolk of raw eggs, which may be given alone or beaten up with rice-flour into a paste with milk or water. The after-treatment consists in the free use of Rice _Conjee_ and other demulcent drinks, gargles of Alum (29) or Borax (55), to control the salivation; small doses of Opium, should there be much pain, and a milk or farinaceous diet. _Mesenteric Affections of Children_ are best treated with Fish Liver Oil (139). _Milk, for Increasing the Secretion of_, Leaves of Castor Oil Plant (85), or of Physic Nut Plant (302); _for Diminishing or Arresting the Secretion of_, Betel Leaves (49), or flowers of Jasminum Sambac (Aiton). This twining plant is cultivated throughout India for the sake of its white fragrant flowers, which are used as votive offerings. The lactifuge property of these flowers was first brought to notice by Mr. J. Wood (_Ph. of India_, p. 136), who speaks of the fact being well known in Madras. Two cases illustrative of their efficacy occurring in the practice of Dr. Mackenzie, C.B., are recorded by Dr. Bidie (_Madras Jour. Med. Sci._, Aug. 1870). In one case especially, an English lady, all ordinary means had failed to arrest the flow of milk before the flowers were applied; within a few hours they afforded complete relief, and the secretion of milk, which had been unusually copious, was from that time entirely arrested. The results of the other trial were equally satisfactory. For this purpose two or three handfuls of the fresh flowers bruised are to be applied unmoistened to each breast and renewed once or twice a day. The secretion is sometimes arrested in twenty-four hours, though this generally requires two or three days (Wood). The native names of these flowers are Mogra ka phúl (_Hind._, _Duk._), Mogra phúl (_Beng._, _Guz._), Malligraip-pú, Mallip-pú (_Tam._), Mallelú (_Tel._), Mullup-pú (_Mal._), Pich-chi-mal (_Cing._), Múgra (_Punj._). _Milk Abscess._ In the early stages apply either Sal Ammoniac Lotion (325), or hot Vinegar Stupes (381). Should matter form, treat as _Abscess_.
