The _antacrid injection_ No. XXI. will generally, if timely applied, prevent this; but if by neglect, or the great virulence of the venom, it has actually commenced, recourse should be had to mercurial ointment; which should three or four times of the day be rubbed on the penis. Should the priapism be very violent, the poultice, No. II. with the addition of _mercurial ointment_ (P) must be applied. _Of the Dysuria._ The dysuria is a scalding of the urine in the urethra; this likewise is obviated by timely using the _injection_, No. XXI. or No. VIII. But when it is actually become troublesome, drink plentifully of diluting drinks, such as _balm tea_, &c. and take a few fever powders which will soon set this to right again; particularly as that is a symptom which generally vanishes, as the disease becomes milder. _Of Shankers._ These are little ulcers coming upon the glans, the frænum, and the præpuce of the yard. They are not only troublesome, but sometimes tedious in the cure; the _antacrid injection_ No. XXI. if timely applied, will generally prevent them. But sometimes these very unwelcome visitors will appear even without a clap; and then they generally gain great ground, before timely remedies can be applied. The _injection_ No. XXI. should in this case be injected betwixt the præpuce and glans; but if this is not sufficient, apply the following. No. XXII _Take mercurial ointment, two drachmes; calomel_ (N), _two scruples; precipitate_ (O), _ten grains. Mix it into an ointment._ By the dressing with this, all the shankers will speedily heal up. If warts sprout out, they should immediately be cut off, with a pair of good sharp scissars, and then dressed with the above ointment. Shankers, when they appear, without a previous gonorrhœa or clap, ought always to be taken as a forerunner of the pox itself; and the patient must have immediately recourse to the _mercurial pills_, No. X. one to be taken night and morning, in order to prevent the threatening evil consequences. _Of the Bubo._ A Bubo is a swelling that appears on a venereal infection, sometimes in one, sometimes in both groins. This swelling proceeds either from a transposed virus, or comes as the first messenger of a venereal infection. A bubo appears with symptoms of a heavy dull pain in the groin, which on examination discovers itself with a little kernel that is painful to the touch: If left to itself it gradually encreases both in bulk as well as in pain, and at length forms a collection of matter.
