A new antiscorbutic called ÁM-CHUR has lately been brought into use amongst our native troops in India, and promises to be a powerful rival to Lime Juice. It consists of green Mangoes, skinned, stoned, cut into pieces, and dried in the sun. According to Dr. Clarke, Deputy Surgeon-General Eastern Frontier District, Ám-chur not only maintains the digestive energy of the men, but its use amongst troops, where neither a variety of food nor vegetables is obtainable, commends itself strongly as a result of practical experiment to the military authorities. One ration should be half an ounce, which would be equivalent to an ounce of Good Lime Juice. (_British Med. Jour._, Sept. 30, 1882.) Another anti-scorbutic well worthy of attention, especially as an article of diet on long voyages, consists of DRIED OR PRESERVED BANANAS. When carefully prepared, they are agreeable to the taste, much resembling dried figs, of small cost, and will keep good for a lengthened period. Sweet Mango pickle, _freely_ eaten with the diet, is an excellent method of administering Ám-chur. _Seminal Discharges, Involuntary._ Give Camphor (72) at bedtime. When attended with much sexual excitement, a full dose of Bromide of Potassium, 20 to 30 grains in a wineglassful of water at bedtime, is often most serviceable. These discharges being sometimes due to irritation caused by Thread Worm in the lower bowel, attention should be directed to this point. See _Worms_. _Skin Diseases._ Country Sarsaparilla (163*), Chaulmúgra (94), or Mudar (242); or where the affection occurs in debilitated, scrofulous, or leprous individuals. Fish Liver Oil (138) may be given internally. One of the following may at the same time be applied externally: Cassia alata (81), Chaulmúgra (94), Lime Liniment (225-229), Myrobalan Ointment (257), Sulphur (342), Turpentine (367), Kerosene Oil (414*), or Petroleum (411). The Vapour Bath (396) is often very useful where the skin is hard, dry, and rough. Borax lotion (57) in many instances will allay the irritation. _Sleeplessness in Head Affections._ Mustard Bath (249). A full dose of the Bromide of Potassium, 20 to 30 grains in a wineglassful of water, taken at bedtime and persevered in for days and weeks, will often be found more effectual and less hurtful than the most powerful narcotics. _From pain attendant on Ulcers, Rheumatism, &c._, Opium (283) or Tincture of Datura (128) at bedtime. [N.B.—_Sleeplessness, arising from no evident cause, as bodily pain, mental anxiety, &c., is often dependent on an empty state of the stomach_, and many a sleepless night may be prevented, and many a wakeful hour obviated, by the simple process of eating a few biscuits or a crust of bread before going to bed, or during the night as occasion may require.]
