131. _In Tetanus or Lock-jaw, consequent on a wound_, Datura is worthy of a trial in the absence of more effective agents. Poultices of the leaves, renewed three or four times a day, should be kept constantly to the wound, which should be further cleansed if covered with thick discharge or slough, by the process of irrigation of tepid water (395). The Tincture of Datura, in doses of 20 to 30 drops in water, may also be given internally three or four times daily. The dose must be regulated by the effect produced, but it may be continued, unless the spasms previously yield, till it produces full dilatation of the pupil with some degree of giddiness, drowsiness, or confusion of ideas, beyond which it is not safe to carry the medicine. If the spasms abate, _i.e._, if they recur at more distant intervals, and are less severe and prolonged when they do occur, the medicine, in smaller doses at longer intervals, may be continued till the spasms cease altogether; but if, under the use of the remedy, after it has produced its specific effects on the system, the spasms show no sign of abatement, no good, but perhaps harm, will result from continuing it. In addition to the above means, Datura liniment (130) should be well rubbed in along the spine several times daily. The patient should be confined to a darkened room and protected from cold draughts of air; the bowels should be opened, if necessary by turpentine enemas (364). The strength should be supported by strong beef-tea, or mutton-broth (413), by eggs, beaten up with milk, and by brandy-mixture (420) or other stimulants; if these cannot be swallowed they should be given in enemas, for which purpose not more than four ounces should be used at a time; larger quantities will not be retained. The treatment detailed in this paragraph is advocated from the success which has in some cases of Tetanus attended the use of Belladonna—a drug to which Datura bears a very close resemblance in its effects on the system: employed as above directed, it may be need with perfect safety, provided that the case is carefully watched, and the medicine diminished or discontinued on the full development of its physiological effects. 132. _In cases of Guinea Worm_, a Datura poultice (130) is said to be the most useful in relieving the pain, and hastening the expulsion of the worm. 133. +Dill Seeds.+ The fruit of Anethum Sowa, _Roxb._ Sóyah, Suvá (_Hind._, _Punj._), Sóyí (_Duk._), Sóí-biól (_Kash._), Shulphá, Shonvá, Shóvá (_Beng._), Shatta-kuppi-virai (_Tam._), Shata-kuppi-víttulu (_Tel._), Shata-kuftá (_Mal._), Sab-basagi (_Can._), Suvá-nu-bi (_Guz._), Sada-kuppa, Sata-kuppi (_Cing._), Samin (_Burm._), Shatha-kupay, Adas pudus (_Malay_).
