_Treatment._—Bleeding has always been regarded as the chief if not sovereign remedy in this disease; but as depletion is known to favour that dangerous state known as _metastasis_, or a sudden removal of the disease from one part to another; and, not unfrequently, from the surface to some internal organ, bleeding should, therefore, if possible, not be repeated, the physician depending upon other means to effect the depletion necessary. Indeed, in many cases, the extraction of blood from the system is quite uncalled for, as all its benefits can be obtained by less serious and equally efficacious remedies, and by adopting the following mode of treatment—one that will generally be found sufficient to render the lancet quite unnecessary; or should bleeding in the first stage have been adopted, it may be employed with equal advantage after; only in that case, it will be less requisite to give the aperient pills in such large doses. Take of Powdered Nitre 1 drachm. Tartar Emetic 4 grains. Camphor Water 10 ounces. Laudanum 2 drachms. Mix. Give two large table-spoonfuls every three hours, apply a bottle of hot water to the feet, and administer two of the following pills an hour after the first dose of the mixture, and one every six hours after, till an effectual action is excited in the bowels, when they are to be discontinued. Take of Compound Extract of Colocynth 1 scruple. Calomel 15 grains. Camphor, powdered 4 grains. Croton Oil 2 drops. Mix thoroughly together, make into a mass, and divide into six pills.
