Judging from published reports, the treatment of influenza during the present epidemic has been mainly symptomatic, simple remedies being employed in place of the powerful antipyretics and analgesics that were so extensively used three years ago, and this may account in part for the reduced mortality. In this connection the writer ventures to suggest the use of a limited number of remedies that have proven of signal service within the past two months. In the pulmonary type, to relieve the distressing and frequent cough, nothing has given better results than morphine hydrochlorate and pilocarpine hydrochlorate, given hourly in doses of one-fiftieth of a grain each, together. This combination seems to allay sufficiently extraneous irritation, while it favors the re-establishment of the normal secretions, and has shown remarkably favorable effects when broncho-pneumonia threatened to supervene. Given in these small doses, it produces neither narcotism nor depression, and the patient is ready to take his regular meals, to which is added liquid nourishment during the intervals. Hot milk—not boiled—and the free use of beef-tea made from a good extract of beef, are helpful in assisting to maintain the strength. In the abdominal type, with much pain along with mucous discharges from the bowels, showing involvement of the liver, a combination of mercury biniodide with codeine sulphate appears to control and modify the progress of the disease. One one-hundredth grain of the former with one-tenth to one-fifth grain of the latter may be administered every two hours, and along with this, where we have to contend with the pains peculiar to influenza—rheumatic and neuralgic—it is well to administer conjointly small doses of bryonia. From two to five drops of the tincture can be given at intervals of two to four hours. Cases which do not respond readily to bryonia, will often quickly show amenability to the administration of rhus toxicodendron, given in one-drop doses of the green root tincture at intervals of two hours. It is remarkable what power these two simple remedies exercise over the fugitive neuralgic pains peculiar to influenza, doubtless because they modify the nutrition of the cells composing the fibrous structures, enabling them to throw off waste products and thus maintain a condition approaching that of health. The after-treatment will embrace the administration of the arseniates of iron and strychnine, and in debilitated subjects this should be supplemented by the exhibition of cod-liver oil or petroleum in the form of emulsion.
