175. _In Intermittent Fever_ the Sulphate often proves of great service, especially in obstinate or long-standing cases, where the patient has become weak and anæmic. It may be given as follows: Take of Sulphate of Iron, finely powdered, 24 grains; powdered Black Pepper, 30 grains; Beat them into a mass with a little honey, and divide into twelve pills. Of these two should be taken twice or thrice daily, with a wineglassful of Infusion of Chiretta (98), or Gulancha (352). Whilst taking these pills, all acids and acidulous fruits should be avoided, and the bowels kept open. They are inadmissible when the stomach is very irritable, or when diarrhœa exists. 176. Long-continued or repeated attacks of _Intermittent Fever_ are often accompanied by a swelling or hardness under the ribs of the left side; this constitutes the affection termed _Enlargement of the Spleen or Ague Cake_. In these cases the treatment advised in the last paragraph may be resorted to with benefit, with the addition of a good active purgative once or twice a week. Local pain may be relieved by Turpentine stupes or mustard poultices over the affected part. 177. _In Neuralgic or Rheumatic Faceache_, recurring periodically, especially when occurring in the weak and anæmic (174), Sulphate of Iron, in 2 or 3 grain doses thrice daily, produces excellent effects; it may be given in the form of pill, with a little Cinnamon powder and Honey, or in solution with Infusion of Chiretta (98), or Gulancha (352). _Chorea and other Nervous Affections_ occurring in anæmic females are often greatly benefited by the Sulphate, conjoined with Aloes (18). _Paralysis and Rickets_, associated with anæmia, are likewise benefited by it. 178. _In Dropsy attended with Anæmia_ (174) _and Debility_, two grains of the Sulphate of Iron in a quart of water sweetened to taste, and taken in divided doses as an ordinary drink during the day, is a useful adjunct to other treatment. 179. _In Bleeding Piles, especially when the patient is much debilitated by the discharge_, daily enemas of the Sulphate, of the strength of 3 grains to 1 ounce of water, often prove of great service. The same treatment is well adapted for _Prolapsus_ (_Descent_) _of the Rectum_. 180. _Obstinate Hooping Cough_, which resists Alum (28) and other remedies, sometimes yields to Sulphate of Iron in small and continued doses. 181. _In Chronic Diarrhœa_ and _Dysentery of Childhood_ in weak anæmic children the following mixture has been used with great advantage; Sulphate of Iron, 4 grains; Laudanum, 6 drops; Omum water, 10 drachms. Of this the dose is two teaspoonfuls every six hours for a child of one year of age, and so on in proportion. 182. +Jatamansi+ or +Indian Spikenard+. The root of Nardostachys Jatamansi, _D.C._
