TRAUMATIC REMEDIES, ACUTE CONDTIONS,INJURIES

– TYLER M L, INJURIES, ACUTE CONDITIONS
Concerning the remedies
 The remedies are put up as medicated pellets; their most convenient form for carrying, and for keeping in good condition.
 A DOSE consists of half a dozen pellets-less or more.
 It may be given dry on the tongue, to be dissolved before swallowing.
 Or, where quick effect is wanted in acute conditions, dissolve half a dozen pellets in half a tumbler of water, stir, and administer in doses of a dessertspoonful six hours apart; or in very urgent conditions, every hour, or half hour for a few doses, till reaction sets in, then stop, so long as improvement is maintained.
 CAMPHOR ANTIDOTES MOST OF THE MEDICINES. So the camphor bottle must be kept away from the medicine chest.

 Cantharis vesicatoria
 Or, a dose or two of Canth. will stop the pain.
 Cuts-lacerations-punctures
 Hypericum perforatum
