_Sprains, Blows, and Bruises._ Solution of Sal Ammoniac (332), Hot Water Fomentations (393), or Evaporating Lotion (380) are most suitable applications for the early stages. Should there be much swelling and heat of skin, Leeches (212) may be necessary. When the active symptoms have subsided, Liniments of Camphor (68), Opium (291), Lemon-grass Oil (217), or Turpentine (366), are indicated. _In Sprains_, warm applications, with perfect rest of the part, are best suited for the first few days. The sprained part should be kept in a raised position, well supported, and should on no account be allowed to hang down. The following treatment is highly spoken of in cases of _Sprained Ankle_. As soon after the accident as possible immerse the foot in a tub of _hot_ water for ten minutes, and then into a tub of cold water for a similar period. Afterwards put on a wet bandage pretty tight, and cover with oil-silk, plantain leaf, or other impermeable covering. _To remove subsequent swelling_, apply Alum Lotion (32). _To remove discoloration_, Solution of Sal Ammoniac (332). _Stiff Neck._ Apply Opium Liniment (291). _Stomach, Acidity of._ Give Lime Water (221). _Bleeding from._ See _Hæmorrhage from internal organs_. _Pains in._ See _Flatulence, Flatulent Colic, and Bowels, Spasmodic Affections of_. _Stomatitis._ See _Mouth, Ulceration of_. _Sunstroke._ Employ Cold Water Affusion and other measures advised in Paragraph 386. Artificial Respiration, as described in Appendix A, is worth a trial where the insensibility is deep and prolonged. _Syphilis._ On the first appearance of a chancre or ulcer on the penis, sprinkle its surface with a little very finely powdered Sulphate of Iron, and this having been removed, dress subsequently with Black Wash (225) till the sore shows signs of healing. As a local application, Dr. Aitchison advocates Carbolic Acid. "No time should be lost," he remarks, "in obtaining medical aid when an ulcer on the penis has formed. But when it is impossible to get such aid, touch the sore with pure Carbolic Acid, taking care that the healthy parts are not touched with it. Apply Sweet Oil to the parts after burning the ulcer, and then dress it as you would any healthy ulcer until the slough caused by the acid falls off." Mercury (if at hand) should be given so as to induce slight soreness of the gums.
