_Treatment._—The effect of bile on the stomach should be considered in the light of a chain of symptoms excited by the presence of some foreign or unhealthy substance; and the rational view of the treatment of such symptoms consists in expelling the intruding mischief as quickly as possible; and, as it is always better to make the bile take its natural course of exit—downwards—than urge it out of the system in an opposite direction, the treatment should commence by taking such aperients as will excite the whole alimentary canal, and carry it out of the stomach through the bowels: at the same time avoiding by every means its expulsion by vomiting. To carry off the bile by aperients, and allay the sickness, is in fact, all that has to be done, for when these objects are achieved, every other symptom will, as a natural consequence, subside. As the nausea and headache are the most urgent and distressing symptoms, they are the first to demand relief. A small blister, the size of the round of a wine-glass, should be laid on the pit of the stomach, and a dose of the subjoined effervescing mixture given every half hour; taking advantage of the first lull in the retching to give two of the aperient pills, which are to be repeated every six hours, till their action on the bowels shows that the object for which they were taken has been obtained. For females and persons of delicate constitution, one pill instead of two should be taken as a dose. If the patient is in bed, bottles of hot water should be kept at the feet; and as an after-corrective, the tonic mixture prescribed below, is to be taken twice a day for about a week; at the same time the convalescence will be facilitated, and the tone of the stomach improved, if a little toasted bacon is eaten for breakfast, and a dry biscuit and a glass of stout taken for lunch.
