A
Third
Method
of
effecting
the
same
purpose
is
by
passing
a
fine
needle
through
each
poc,
when
fully
distended
with
lymph;
the
escape
of
the
fluid
averting,
as
in
the
other
mode,
the
suppuration
which
would
otherwise
ensue.

OR

Another
Method.
A
fourth
and
much
more
simple
method
of
preventing
pitting
from
small-pox
is
to
lightly
touch
every
part
of
the
face
with
a
feather
dipped
in
sweet
oil.
It
also
tends
to
prevent
this
disfigurement
to
cause
the
light
in
the
patient's
apartment
by
day
to
assume
a
yellow
tinge
or
colour,
which
may
be
easily
managed
by
fitting
the
room
with
yellow
or
brownish
yellow
linen
blinds.

Mucilage
of
Gum
Arabic.
Rub
one
ounce
of
gum
arabic
in
a
mortar,
with
four
ounces
of
warm
water.
Use
for
coughs,
&c.
588.
Mucilage
of
Starch.
Rub
one
drachm
of
starch
with
a
little
water,
and
gradually
add
five
ounces
of
water,
then
boil
until
it
forms
a
mucilage.
Use
for
enemas,
topical
applications,
and
demulcents.

For
the
proper
Remedies
and
their
Doses

Seek
Medical
Advice.
It
should
be
clearly
understood,
that
in
all
cases
of
disease,
the
advice
of
a
skilful
physician
is
of
the
first
importance.
It
is
not,
therefore,
intended
by
the
following
information
to
supersede
fhe
important
and
necessary
practice
of
the
medical
man;
but
rather,
by
exhibiting
the
treatment
required,
to
show
in
what
degree
his
aid
is
imperative.
In
cases,
however,
where
the
disorder
may
be
simple
and
transient,
or
in
which
remote
residence,
or
other
circumstances,
may
deny
the
privilege
of
medical
attendance,
the
following
particulars
will
be
found
of
the
utmost
value.
Moreover,
the
hints
given
upon
what
should
be
AVOIDED
will
be
of
great
service
to
the
patient,
since
the
physiological
is
no
less
important
than
the
medical
treatment
of
disease.
