248. _In Apoplexy_, _Convulsions_, _Delirium_, _and violent Headaches occurring during Fevers or Smallpox_, Mustard poultices to the feet and calves of the legs are often very useful in relieving the affection of the head. Where the patient is able to sit up for the purpose, a Mustard foot bath [an ordinary foot bath, to which is added a handful of Mustard] is even more effectual. The water should be as hot as can be well borne, and the higher the fluid reaches up the leg, the better. In _Delirium Tremens_ it should be used every night before bedtime. 249. _In some Head Affections_, e.g., _the early stages of Insanity, and Delirium Tremens, where there is determination of blood to the head_, _with sleeplessness_, _restlessness and anxiety_, a plan which has been found effectual in some cases has been to envelop the whole of the legs and lower part of the abdomen in cloths steeped in a mixture of Mustard and hot water, a cold wet towel being at the same time applied round the head. It has a very calming effect, and is occasionally productive of sleep. The Mustard foot bath, described in the last section, is also worthy of a trial, repeated every night before the usual bedtime. 250. _In Dropsy_ Mustard occasionally proves useful. It is best administered in the form of Whey, made by boiling half an ounce of the bruised seed in a pint of milk, and straining. This quantity may be given daily in divided doses. 251. _In Cholera_, _Colic_, _and Spasms of the Bowels_, when unattended by inflammation, a Mustard poultice placed over the abdomen in many cases affords considerable relief. _Vomiting, especially that accompanying Fevers, and Pregnancy_ may often be allayed by a Mustard poultice applied to the pit of the stomach. _In Cholera_, when the patient is very low, the poultice may be placed over the heart, or the left side of the chest. 252. _In Coughs, attended with much difficulty of breathing_, Mustard poultices to the chest often afford relief. They may also be advantageously applied on the back between the shoulder-blades. They may be used for children as well as adults. _Hooping Cough_ is occasionally much relieved by Mustard poultices along the spine. 258. _Toothache_, _Faceache_, _and Neuralgic Pains of_ _the Head and Face_, are frequently relieved by the application of a Mustard poultice over the seat of pain. 254. +Myrobalans, Chebulic.+ The dried fruit of Terminalia Chebula, _Retz._ Har, Harrá, Pilé-har (_Hind._), Haldá, Harlá, Pílá-halrá (_Duk._), Hárítakí, Hórá (_Beng._), Zard halélá (_Punj._, _Kash._), Kadú-káy (_Tam._), Karakkáya (_Tel._), Katukká (_Mal._), Alale-káyi (_Can._), Hiradá (_Mah._), Harlé, Pílo-harlé (_Guz._), Aralu (_Cing._), Buah Kaduka (_Malay_).
