In =hemoptysis= the history of the case as to pulmonary or cardiac diseases is to be considered. There is a feeling of weight and of uneasiness in the chest. A salty taste and a tickling of the throat precedes the bleeding. The blood is ejected by coughing and is bright red, frothy, very little coagula, and is alkaline in reaction. In =hematemesis= the history would indicate disease of the stomach, spleen, liver or heart. Uneasiness, and occasionally nausea and faintness, precedes the bleeding. The blood is ejected by vomiting, and is dark, clotted or fluid, mixed with food, and is of acid reaction. In a few instances the blood due to hemoptysis may be swallowed, and vomited. =Treatment.=—In all these cases of hemoptysis the patient should be placed in bed and absolute rest demanded. An attempt should at once be made to correct any lesion that may be found influencing the cause of the bleeding. Correcting lesions to the vasomotor nerves of the lungs and bronchial tubes, and equalizing the disturbed vascular area, may be sufficient in a number of cases. These lesions will be found principally in the upper dorsal region. In some cases, perhaps, there is an impairment of the trophic nerves by the same lesions, thus interfering with the tone of the vessel walls and pulmonary tissues. The diet should be light, nutritious and non-stimulating. The use of hot drinks is to be avoided. The rapidity of the heart’s action should be reduced. This is best performed by thorough treatment of the dorsal spinal nerves of the left side over the heart, and by inhibition in the suboccipital region. The ice-bag to the precordia is also helpful. Iced drinks and the eating of ice is of aid. Stimulation of the systemic circulation will be of value in helping to relieve the pulmonary congestion, although the two systems are somewhat independent of each other. Also, hot foot baths and the evacuation of the bowels may be of additional value. In cases due to organic disease of the heart, the mind and body should receive absolute rest, so that the diseased areas may be strengthened as much as possible; besides a tonic treatment for the heart’s action is necessary. After the hemorrhage has subsided care should be taken that bleeding does not occur again. All irritations of the respiratory tract should be avoided. A stimulating diet, tobacco and alcohol should be avoided. Nutritious food and a moderate amount of exercise is indicated. Hemorrhage of the Stomach (Hematemesis) =Osteopathic Etiology.=—Injuries to the stomach; local diseases, as congestion, ulcers and cancer; vicarious menstruation; a mechanical obstruction to the portal circulation; spinal lesions to the vasomotor nerves of the stomach; alterations in the blood; perforation of the stomach walls, involving a blood vessel; disease of some neighboring organ.
