_Scarlatina or Scarlet Fever._ Commence with an emetic of Country Ipecacuanha (368) or Mudar (241); place the patient in a cool, well-ventilated apartment; give plentifully of Lemonade (232) or rice _Conjee_ (322) to allay thirst and feverishness, and give Capsicum Mixture (78) internally. _For the sore throat_, inhale the fumes of hot Vinegar (377), and use Capsicum gargle (78). Sponging the surface with diluted Vinegar (376) or Water (385) is attended with great comfort to the patient, and is otherwise beneficial. The advanced stages, complications, and subsequent debility, are treated in the same manner as in Fevers (see _Index_). _Sciatica._ See _Neuralgia_. Enveloping the whole of the painful limb in the "Wet sheet" (397_b_) proves sometimes successful when other remedies fail. Quinine in full doses, five to eight grains thrice daily, may be given at the same time. _Scorpions, Stings of._ Alum (32). See also _Bites, Venomous_. _Scrofula._ Fish Liver Oil (138) proves most useful in cases in which _Abscesses, Ulcers, or Skin Diseases_ are present. _Scrofulous Ophthalmia_ is also greatly benefited by it. When the patient is debilitated and anæmic, the Oil may advantageously be combined with Sulphate of Iron. Chaulmúgra (94), Hydrocotyle (169), and Lime Water (225), are amongst the remedies occasionally useful. A dose of Opium (283) or Tincture of Datura (128) may be given at night, if the pain or irritation from ulcers or skin disease occasion sleeplessness. A liberal animal diet, gentle outdoor exercise, and sea-bathing are valuable adjuncts to the above remedies. _Scurvy._ Lime-juice (231) holds the highest rank both as a curative and preventive agent. All acidulous fruits, Lemons, Oranges, Tamarinds (346), &c., may be used with the greatest advantage. As a preventive of Scurvy in jails, &c., Lime Juice and other analogous agents will prove of comparatively little use unless attention is paid to hygienic measures, _e.g._, the cleanliness, ventilation, dryness of the building, reduction of numbers in cases of overcrowding, and the use of a liberal and wholesome diet, containing a large proportion of fresh vegetables. _Diarrhœa of_, give Bael (44).
