=Treatment.=—The patient should assume the dorsal position with the buttocks raised. If any displacement of the uterus is present or if there is any foreign material in the uterus, usually such should be corrected or removed at once. Stimulation of the clitoris is a most effectual means to control uterine hemorrhage; it contracts the circular fibres of the uterus. Stimulation of the uterus directly through the vagina, and over the abdomen, and stimulation of the upper wall of the vagina, will aid in contracting the uterus. A quick, unexpected pull of the hair on the mons veneris will have the effect of closing the capillaries by shock to the nervous control (Dr. Still). Before closing the os, however, it is well to know that there is no irritating foreign material within the body of the uterus. Correction of obstructions of the vasomotor nerves of the uterus through the splanchnic and lumbar region is important. Compression of the abdominal aorta, and vaginal injections of hot water may be of aid, as will also a hot water bag at the lumbar region and ice water bag over symphysis. In severe cases inversion of the body, if it can be done with safety, may be performed. Packing the vagina is a method resorted to occasionally in severe cases. Hiccoughs Occasionally there is a case of hiccoughs that has been continuous for hours or even days and that all efforts have failed to stop. They are caused by an irritation to the peripheral distribution of the phrenic nerve from some gastric disturbance or a local irritant acting upon the center in the medulla. It may follow fright or great emotion and be associated in persistent form in rheumatism, typhoid fever and other febrile diseases. It follows abdominal operations at times and is very distressing. When occurring in elderly people with pneumonia and in peritonitis with distention it usually marks the end. The same may be said in case of carcinoma of the stomach and bowels. =Treatment.=—Go first to the origin of the phrenic nerve at the third, fourth and fifth cervical and, if there is a lesion as there will probably be, adjust it and note results. This will be sufficient in many cases. Failing, bring direct pressure on the nerve just above the clavicle and anterior to the sternomastoid muscle and release the scaleni muscles. After this examine and treat at the fifth and twelfth dorsals. Correct any lesions but best results will be had from inhibition at these points. Another method is to stand beside the patient and insert the fingers of both hands under the costal end of the ribs and lightly pull. Firm pressure over the solar plexus with flat of the hand is sometimes beneficial. In hysterical cases, drawing out the tongue will often be effective and it has been suggested that standing the patient on the head will stop them in short order. Tickling the nose to produce violent sneezing is an ancient remedy. Some one of these will cure the case, as osteopathy has never failed so far as recorded.
