If this irritable state of the stomach is connected with a _disordered
condition_ of the _digestive organs_, the sickness will be accompanied
with the presence of bile in the matter vomited, a furred tongue,
confined or irregular action of the bowels, and occasionally with what
is termed “a sick headache.” These symptoms are to be relieved by
medicines which thoroughly clear out the bowels, allay the irritability
of the stomach, and afterwards by those which restore tone to both. But
it is to be observed that the following directions are only intended to
apply to those simple cases, in which, whether necessary or not, no one
ever thinks of consulting their medical adviser, and for which it is
certainly desirable that they should have some judicious directions,
rather than be left entirely without them. If these symptoms become at
all aggravated, it is requisite that they should make immediate
application for professional advice.
The bowels will need in the first instance a draught composed of
infusion of senna and Epsom salts—the common “black draught,”—with half
a drachm of the tincture of henbane in addition. This, with five grains
of blue pill, most probably effects the object desired; the bowels will
be well purged, and the tongue become clean.
The next thing is to allay the irritability of the stomach, which is to
be accomplished by the means already pointed out—the effervescing
draught of soda, magnesia, chamomile tea, &c.; but in connexion with
this, two or three grains of the purified extract of aloes, with an
equal quantity of the extract of henbane, must be taken two or three
times a week, at bedtime. This will keep the tongue still clean, and the
bowels in order.
After a little time, the sickness having subsided, tonic medicines may
be used: and a fourth part of the following mixture, taken three times a
day, will, under the present circumstances, be the best means of
restoring the tone of the stomach and bowels: sulphate of quinine, six
grains; diluted sulphuric acid, half a drachm; infusion of columba, five
ounces and a half; simple syrup, half an ounce.
