The best remedy in these cases is SANTONIN, and considering the great prevalence of these worms amongst the people of India, and the many anomalous nervous and other affections to which they give rise, it is advisable always to have on hand a supply of this drug. The dose for children under four years is from two to four grains; above twelve years from six to eight grains, rubbed up with about twice its weight of sugar repeated every six or eight hours thrice in succession. A good plan is to give the Santonin at bedtime, and a small dose of Castor Oil in the morning, three days in succession. In many cases, it has been stated, no aperient is needed, one or two stools succeeding its administration containing the worms, if any are present; still, it is safer to follow up its use by an aperient. It is of little or no use in Tape Worm; and in Thread Worm, though it will aid, often strikingly, in removing the worms, it will not prevent their reappearance. For Round Worm it is by far the most effectual remedy we possess. _For Ascarides, or Thread Worm_, use enemas of Lime Water (227), Asafœtida (36), or Turpentine (365). _Wounds, Ulcerated._ See _Ulcers, Bleeding from_.

(_Reprinted by permission from the Directions issued by the Royal Humane Society._) As soon as the body is taken out of the water, lay it on the ground, wipe it dry, and let the wind blow freely upon the surface. With this view, on no account let people crowd round the body. The points to aim at are—first, and immediately, the RESTORATION OF BREATHING; and secondly, after breathing is restored, the PROMOTION OF WARMTH AND CIRCULATION. Treatment to Restore Natural Breathing. RULE 1.—_To maintain a Free Entrance of Air into the Windpipe._—Cleanse the mouth and nostrils;[3] open the mouth; draw forward the patient's tongue, and keep it forward; an elastic band over the tongue and under the chin will answer this purpose. Remove all tight clothing from about the neck and chest. RULE 2.—_To adjust the Patient's Position._—Place the patient on his back on a flat surface, inclined a little from the feet upwards; raise and support the head and shoulders on a small firm cushion or folded article of dress placed under the shoulder blades. RULE 3.—_To imitate the Movements of Breathing._—Grasp the patient's arms just above the elbows; and draw the arms gently and steadily upwards, till they meet above the head (this is for the purpose of drawing air into the lungs), and keep the arms in that position for two seconds. Then turn down the patient's arms, and press them gently and firmly for two seconds against the sides of the chest. _See_ Engravings I. and II. (This is with the object of pressing air out of the lungs. Pressure on the breastbone will aid this.)
