If the reasons are founded in truth, the people consequently seeing 1\\nnecessity, will appreciate its advantages, and encourage the Author by quick\\nand extensive purchases, they alone being the judges. Then\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\nFirst.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Much of the information contained in Dr. Chase s Recipes, or\\nInformation for Everybody, has never before been published, and is adapted\\nto every-day use.\\nSecond.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The Author, after having carried on the drug and grocery busi\u00c2\u00ab\\nness for a number of years, read medicine, after being thi/ty-eight years o\\nage, and graduated as a physician, to qualify himself for the work he was un\\ndertaking for, having been familiar with some of the Recipes, adapted ta\\nthese branches of trade, more than twenty years, he began in Fifty-six,\\nseven years ago, to publish them in a pamphlet of only a few pages, sine*\\nWhich time he has been traveling between New York and Iowa, selling th\u00c2\u00bb\\nwork and prescribing, so that up to this time Sixty-three over twenty\\nthree thousand copies have been sold. His travels have brought him in con\\ntact with all classes of professional and business men, nLdchanics, farriers\\nand farmers, thus enabling him to obtain from them many additional itema\\nalways having had his note-book with him, and whenever a prescription ha*\\nbeen given before him, pr a remark made, that would have a practical bear\\ning, if has been noted, and at the first opportunity tested, then, if good, writter\\nout in plain language expressly for the next edition of this work. In thi\u00c2\u00bb\\nway this mass of information has been collected, and ought to take away at\\nobjection which some persons have raised; It is too much for one man tc\\nknow! because they did not realize that the work had been made up from\\nothers, as well as the Author s actual every-day experience, instead of from un\\ntried books. Yet from the nature of some of the Recipes, one has occasionallj\\nfound its way into some of the earlier editions, which has needed revision, oi\\nto be entirely dropped. This, with a desire to add to the various Departraent*\\nat every edition, has kept us from having it stereotyped until the preseu*\\ntenth edition.\\nBut now, all being what we desire, and the size of the work beiug suci\\nthat we cannot add to it without increasing the price, we have it steieotypeJ\\nand send it out, just what we expect, and are willing it should remain.\\nThird.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Many of the recipe-books published are very large, containing\\nmuch useless matter, only to increase the number, consequently costing to\\nmuch. This one contains only about eight hundred recipes, upo i only about\\nfour hundred diflferent subjects, aW of which are valuable in da Jy, practica\\nlife, and at a very reasonable price. Many of them are without \u00c2\u00ab,rrangement\\nThis one is arranged in regular Departments, all of a. class being together\\nMany of them are without remark or explanation. This oae is fully ex-\\nplained, and accompanied with remarks upon the various subjects introduced\\nby the Recipes under consideration. Those remarks, explanations and sug-\\ngestions accompanying the Recipes are a special feature of (his work, making\\nit worth double its cost as a reading book, even if there waa not a prescription\\nin it.\\nFourth.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The remarks and explanations are in tore/e type, whilst the pre-\\nscriptive and descriptive parts are in a little smaller type, which enables any\\none to see at a glance just what they wish to find.\\nFifth. It is a well known fact that many unprincipled persons go\\naround gulling the people by selling single recipes for exorbitant prices.\\nThe Author found a thing, calling himself a man, in Battle Creek, Mich.,\\nselling a washing-fluid recipe for two dollars, which he obtained of some but\\nif he could not obtain that, he would take two shillitigs, or any other sum be-\\ntween them. A merchant gave a horse for the White Cement recipe. The\\nlate Mr. Andrews, of Detroit, Mich., gave three hundred dollars for a recipe,\\nnow improved and in this work, to cure a bone spavin upon a race mare ol\\nhis. He removed the spavin with it, and won the anticipated wager with her.\\nThe Author has himself paid from twenty-five to fifty and seventy-five ceDt**.\\nand one to two, three, five, and eight dollars for single items, or recipes. ha\u00c2\u00ab", "height": "3028", "width": "2122", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0010.jp2"}, "11": {"fulltext": "Author s Pre/ace. 9\\n/ng thereby to improve his work, but oftea flnding that he had much better\\nideas embodied tlieiein.\\nThe amount pairf for information in this work, and for testing by experi-\\nment, together with traveling expenses, and cuts used in illustrating it, h-is\\nreadied over two tliousand dollars, and all for the purpose of making a book\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2worthy to be found ia Everybody s library, and to prevent such extortions\\nIn the p i of recipes. Yet any single recipe in tlie work which a person\\nmay wishto use, will often be found worth many times the price of tlie book,\\nf erhaps the|^we\u00c2\u00ab of thos** you dearly love, by having at hand the necessary\\nnformation, enabling y ju to immediatdy apply the means within your reacli,\\ninstead of giving time for disease to strengthen, whilst sending, perhaps\\nmiles, for a physician. Much pain ani sutTeriug, also, will often be saved or\\navoided, besides the satisfaction of knowing how many things are made which\\nyou are constantly tLsitig, and also being able to avoid many things which you\\ncertainly would avoid if you knew liow they were made.\\nSixth. It will be observed that we have introduced a number- of recipes\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0apon some of the subjects. Tiiis adapts the work to all circumstances and\\nplaces. The reason for it Is this: we have become acquainted with them io\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2our practice and journeyings, and know that when the articles cannot be ob-\\ntained for one way, they may be for some other way; as also that one pre-\\nscription is better for some than for other persons; therefore, we give the\\nvariety, that all may be benefited as much as possible. For instance, there\\nare twenty different prescriptions for different diseases and conditions of the\\neye tliere are also a dozen different liniments, etc., etc.; yet the Autlior feels\\nwell assured that the most perfect satisfaction will be experienced in them as\\nA whole. And although it could not be expected that special advantages of\\nparticular recipes could be pointed out to any great extent, yet the Author\\nmust be indulged in referring to a few, in the various Departments. All, or\\nnearly all, merchants and grocers, as also most families, will be more or less\\nbenefited by the directions for making or preserving butter, preserving eg^s,\\nor fruit, computing interest, making vinegar, and keeping cider palatable,\\netc. In ague sections of country none should be without the information on\\nthis subject; and, in fact, there is not a medical subject introduced but what\\nwill be found more or less valuable to every one. Even physicians will be\\nmore than compensated in its perusal whilst consumptive, dyspeptic, rlieu-\\nmatic, and fever patients ought, by all means, to avail themselves of the ad-\\nvantages here pointed out. The treatment in Female Debility, and the ob-\\nservations on the changes in female life, are such that every one of them over\\nthirteen or fourteen years of age should not be without this work. The direc-\\ntions in Pleurisy and other inflammatory diseases cannot fail 10 benefit every\\nfamily Into whose hands the book shall fall.\\nThe Good Samaritan Liniment, we do not believe, has its equal in the\\nvrorld, for common uses, whilst there are a number of other liniments equally\\nwell adapted to particular cases. And we would not undertake to raise a\\nfamily of children without our Whooping Cough Syrup and Croup Remedies,\\nknowing their value as we do, if it cost a liundred dollars to obtain them.\\nTanners and shoemakers, painters and blacksmiths, tinners and gunsmiths,\\ncabinet-makers, barbers, and bakers, will find in tlieir various Departments\\nmore than enough, in single recipes, to compensate them for the expense of\\nthe work and farriers and farmers who deal in horses and cattle, will often\\nfind that Department to save a hundred times its cost in single cases of\\ndisease.\\nA gentleman recently called at my house for one of the books, saying\\nI liave come ten miles out of my way to get it, for I staid over night with a\\nfanner, who had one, and had been benefited more than twenty dollars, in\\ncuring a horse by its directions. A gentleman near this city says he had\\npaid out dollars after dollars to cure a horse of spavin, without benefit, as\\ndirected by o^Aer books of recipes; but a few shillings, as directed by this,\\ncured the horse. Another gentleman recently said to me Your Eye Water\\nis worth more tnan twenty dollars.

The Author has received too\\nmany expressions of gratitude^ thankfulness, and favor, in relation to the\\nvalue of Dr. Chase s Recipes, or Information for Everybody, to doubt in\\nthe least the truth of the forego -Ing quotation and trusts that the following\\nquotation may not be set down to egotism or bigotry, when he gives it\\nas the governing reason for the continued and permanent publication of th\\nwork\\nI live to harn their story, wiio suffered for my sake;\\nTo emulate their glory, and follow in their wake\\nBards, patriots, martyrs, sages, and nobles of all ages,\\nWhose deeds crown History s pages, and Time s great volume make.\\n1 live for those who love me, for those who know me true\\nFor the heaven that smiles above me, and awaits my spirit too;\\nFor the cause that lacks assistance, for the wrong that needs resistance,\\nFor the future in the distance, and the ^ood that I can do.\\nMay these reasons speedily become the governing principles throughout\\nthe world, especially with all those who have taken upon themselves the vows\\nof our Holy Religion, knowing that it is to those only who begin to love God\\nand right actions, A re, with whom the glories of heaven shall ever begin Were\\nthey thus heeded, we should no longer need corroborating testimony to our\\nstatements.

Merchants and grocers wlio retail vinegar should\\nalways have it made under their own eye, if possible, fiiom the\\nfact that so many unprincipled men enter into its manufacture,\\nas it affords such a large profit. And I would further remark,\\nthat th^re is hardly any article of domestic use, upon which the\\nmass of the people have as little correct information as upon the\\nsubject of making vinegar. I shall be brief in my remarks upon\\nthe different points of the subject, yet I shall give all the knowl-\\nedge necessary, that families or those wtishing to manufacture,\\nmay be aJble to have the best article, and at moderate figures.\\nRemember this fact That vinegar must have air as well as\\nwarmth, and especially is this necessary if you diesire to make it\\nin a short space of time. And if at any time it seems to be Dy-\\ning, as is usually called, add molasses, sugar, alcohol, or cider\\nwhichever article you are making from, or prefer for vinegar is\\nan industrious fellow; he will either work or die, and when he\\nbegins to die you may know he has worked up all the material in\\nhis shop, and wants more. Remember this in all vinegars, and\\nthey will never die, if they have air. First, then, upon a small\\nscale, for family use:\\nTo Make in Three Weeks. Molasses, 1 qt; yeast, 1 pt; warm\\nrain water, 3 gals. Put all into a jug or keg, and tie a piece of\\ngauze over the bung to keep out files and let in air. In hot\\nweather set it in the sun; in cold weather set it by the stove or\\nin the chimney-corner, and in three weeks you will have good\\nvinegar.\\nWhen this is getting low, pour out some for use, and fill up\\nthe jug in the proportion as at first, and you will never have trou-\\nble for want of good vinegar.\\n2. A correspondent of the Dollar Newspaper says: The\\ncheapest mode of making good vinegar is to mix 5 qts. of\\nwarm rain water with two qts. of Orleans molasses, and 4\\nqts. of yeast. In a few weeks you will have the best vine-\\ngar you ever tasted.

In Barrels, Without Trouble. Merchants and grocers, who\\nretail vinegar, can always keep a good supply on hand by having\\nabout two or three barrels out of which to sell, by filling the first one\\nthey sell out, before quite empty, with\\nMolasses, 1 gal. soft water 11 gals.\\nKeeping this proportion to fill the barrel the vinegat^ and mother\\nwhich is left in the barrel, makes it work mucli quicker than if put\\ninto empty barrels; so pass around to the next barrel as it is nearly\\nout, having three barrels, and unless you sell more than a barrel a\\nweek, you need never be out of vinegar. Some recommend to use\\nalum, cream-of-tartar, etc., in vinegar, but /say never. It is always\\nadvisable to have a hole in the top of the barrel, if standing on end\\nif on the side, the bung out and a gauze over it, to keep out flies and\\nlet air in.\\n4. From Sugar, Drippings from Sugar Hogsheads, etc.\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\nDealers who x etail molasses, often have from five to rifty pounds oH\\nsugar left in the barrel after selling out the molasses. Each pound ot\\nthis, or other sugar, dissolved in two gallons of soft water, makes that\\namount of good vinegar by either of the above plans. Rinsings ot\\nmolasses barrels or drippings of sugar hogsheads, brought to this\\ndegree of sweetness, is as good for vinegar as any other material.\\nSmall beer, lager beer, ale, etc., which have become sour, make good\\nvinegar by reducing with water; small beer will need but little water;\\nlager beer will need as much water as beer, or a little more; and ale,\\ntwice as much water as ale; they will all need yeast, a quart or two to\\neach barrel, unless put into barrels which have some vinegar in them,\\nand it will do no harm, but quicken the process in all cases, if thert\\nis vinegar in the barrel.\\n5. From Acetic Acid aud Molasses. Acetic acid, 4 lbs.\\nmolasses, 1 gal, put them into a 40 gallon cask, and fill it up with\\nrainwater; shake it up and let stand from one to three weeks, and\\nthe result is good vinegar.\\nIf this does not make it as sharp as you like, add a little more\\nmolasses. But some will object to this because an acid is used;\\nlet me say to such, that acetic acid is concentraUd vinegar. Take one\\nlb. or one pt, or any other quantity of this acid, and add seven times\\nas much soft water, and you have just as good vinegar as can be made\\nfrom cider and that instantaneously.\\n6. From Apple Cider. As there are those who will not have\\nany but cider vinegar, and have plenty of cider out of which to make\\nit, I will give you the best plan of proceeding, for manufacturers\\nHave a room where it will not freeze; place on end as many\\nbarrels or large casks, without heads, to hold as much as you wiA |o", "height": "3028", "width": "2122", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0030.jp2"}, "31": {"fulltext": "Merchants* and Gr urt* Deparhneni. 2^\\nmake; fill these one-third full of soft water, and the other two-thirds\\nwith apple cider; yeast, 2 qts. to each cask.\\nIn a few weeks you will have good vinegar; without the yeast it\\nwould be all the season in becoming good. Then fill up into barrels\\nfor sale, leaving a little, say one-eighth, in the open barrels, and fill\\nthem up with water and cider as before, and it will become good much\\nquicker than befoie. If the water is objected to, use the cider without\\nit, but pure cider makes vinegar too strong for any one to use, and\\nrequires much longer time in making. These barrels may have boards\\nover them to keep out flies and dirt. If the retailer can give it his\\nattention, by having a barrel of good cider vinegar to sell out of, he\\n\u00c2\u00aban always keep it up, if, when he draws out two or three gallons of\\nthe vinegar, lie will go to his cider, kept for the purpose, and replace\\nthe vinegar with the cider; or, if making with molasses and water or\\nany other article, fill up with the same; but take notice, if you forget\\nor neglect, and draw your vinegar nearly all out before you fill in, it\\n^loes not keep to the point of sharpness desired, unless you have two\\nor three barrels as mentioned in recipe No. 3.\\nPersons who have old sour cider on hand can in this way, or as\\nmentioned in No. G. have good vinegar from it immediately, as it\\ncomes around into vinegar much quicker than new cider.\\n7. In Tiiree Days Without Drugs. The piillosophy of making\\nvinegar quickly, is this: The means that will expose the largest\\nSBrface of the vinegar fluid, of a certain temperatui*e, to the air, will\\nconvert it into vinegar in the shortest time; and as there is no way by\\nwhicli so great a surface can be exposed as bj the shavings process and\\nat the same time control the temperature, that plan has been adopted\\nH9 explained in tiie wood-cut on, the next page, and in the descriptive\\nnote\\nDescriptivb Note. Those wishing to manufacture, to sell at\\nwholesale, will prepare a tub, or square box, and arrange it ag shown\\nin tlie acconn)anying cut, knowing that the taller and larger the\\ntub, the quicker will the vinegar become good. The air holes are\\nbored through every other, or every third stave, around the whole\\ntub. These holes are to be about one foot or eigliteen inches from the\\nbottom: they must also be bored slanting down as you bore inward,\\notherwise the vinegar would run out and waste as it drips down the\\nside or of the tub. Tliese tubs ought to be from ten to twenty feet\\nhigh, according to the quantity you desire to run off daily. Now take\\nbeech, maple or basswood boards and they are valuable in the ordei\\nnamed cut them off about eighteen inches in length, and plane thick,\\nheavy shavings from the edges; and if they do not roll up and stay in\\nnice rolls, you must roll and tie them up with small cord; or clean corn\\ncobs will do, but they will only last one season, whilst the sliavinga\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0mil last several years. If cobs are used, tliey must be put in lay", "height": "3028", "width": "2122", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0031.jp2"}, "32": {"fulltext": "48 Dr. Chase s Rtcipes.\\neach layer crossing the other, to prevent their packing too close. Then\\nwet or soak them thoroughly in water, and fill up the tub or tubs with\\nthem, until you are within two or three feet of the top, at which place\\nyou will nail a stout, hoop around, upon the inside of the tub, which\\nshall support the false top, which has been made and fitted for that\\npurpose, through which false top you will have bored good sized\\ngimlet holes about every two inches all over its whole surface, through\\neach of which holes a small cord, about four or five inches in length,\\nis to be drawn, having a knot tied upon its upper end to keep it in its\\nplace, and to prevent the vinegar fluid from working out too fast.\\nThe size of these holes, and the size of the cord, must be such as to\\nallow the amount of vinegar being made to run through every twelve\\nhours; or, if time can be given to put it up so often, it may run\\nthrough every six hours.

Tlie\\nspace between the false top and cover is called the vinegar-fluid space,\\nand it must be sufficiently tight in the joints of the tub, or box, to liold\\ntlie fluid when put in. Now take a barrel of good vinegar and pour\\nit into the top of the tub, and let it drip tnrough the gimlet holes,\\nfrom the cords, over the shavings, two or three times, each time\\nputting on one gallon of highwines, or two or three gallons of cider,\\nas tlie case may bej which sours the shavings and greatly helps the\\nstarting process of the vinegar-making. Without the addition to the\\nrtcrength of the vinegar as it runs through, it would part with nearly\\n\u00c2\u00ab11 of its own strength or acidity to the shavings, and thus lose its own\\nlife. If you have not, and cannot obtain, vinegar, to start with, you\\nmust begin with weak vinegar-fluid, and keep adding to it every time\\nthrough until it becomes very sour then you will consider yourself\\nready to begin to make vinegar in double quick time, by using any of\\nihe fluids mentioned in the foregoing vinegar recipes.

Another tub or vat must be\\nset in the ground, under the generator, or in a cellar, as the case may\\nbe, to liold as much vinegar as the space between the false and real top\\nwill contain, or as much as you wish to make at one time; from which\\nV it is to be carried up in buckets, (or a wooden pump having a leather\\nsucker is quicker and easier to raise it,) to the top of the generator\\nuntil it becomes good vinegar, which it will do in the time mentioned\\nat tlie head of this recipe, if passed through the generator by the\\nfaucet every twelve hours which it must be and if the tubs are fifteen\\nor twenty feet high, it will only need passing through once, or twice at\\nmost.\\nSome will have no vinegar but that made from apple cider then\\nput in one-third water, and it makes vinegar as strong as anybody ought\\nto use but if they will have it at full strength, make it so, only it\\nrequires a little longer time to make.\\nIf those who have cider which has been standing a long time, aiM", "height": "3028", "width": "2122", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0033.jp2"}, "34": {"fulltext": "^a t)r.

Bear this in mind, and your\\nHnegar will improve all the time, no matter how, or of what it is made.\\nHe fills the tubs ouly one-third or one-half full when making, does\\nnot heat, but uses yeast, and only works them in warm weather and\\nIn winter fills the tubs with good vinegar, and lets them stand over\\nuntil spring, wlipu they are ready for work again.\\nThis man, with five casks thus managed, has sold over three\\nhundred barrels of vinega-rin one season.\\nIt might not be amiss, in closing this long subject, to say that when\\nyou have no vinegar to begin with in eitlier of the processes, that if\\nyou commence with the fluid quite weak at first it begins to sour\\nquicker than if begun with at full strength, then as it begins to\\nbecome sour, add more of the spirit, cider, sugar, or molasses, c.,\\n\u00c2\u00abntil you get the desired point of strength. So you might go on\\nuntil a swallow of it would strangle a man to death, and remove\\nevery particle of skin from his throat.\\nBUTTEE.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 To Preserve any Length of Time.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 First\u00e2\u0080\u0094 work out\\nall the buttermilk.

The object of the cold\\nwater is double; it cools the milk, so that the cream rises before the\\nmilk sours, (for when milk becomes sour it furnishes no more cream,)\\nand also improves the flavor.\\n3. Storing\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The (Illinois) Prairie Farmer s Method.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 First,\\nwork the buttermilk carefully from the butter; then pack it closely in\\njars, laying a thin cloth on top of the butter, then a thin layer of salt\\nupon the cloth now have a dry cellar, or make it so by draining, and\\ndig a hole in the bottom of it for each jar, packing the dirt closely and\\ntightly around the jar, allowing the tops of the jars to stand only an\\ninch or so above the top of the cellar bottom now place a board with\\na weight upon each jar to prevent removing by accident, and all ia\\nsafe.\\nMerchants who are buying in butter, should keep each differeni\\nlot separate by using the thin cloth and salt, then another cloth ovei\\nthe salt before putting in another lot, for mixed butter will soon spoil,\\nbesides not selling as well, and finally cover the top as before\\ndescribed. If kegs or barrels are used, the outside must be as well\\npainted as possible to prevent outside tastes, and also to preserve the\\nwood.\\nFRUITS TO KEEP\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Without Loss of Color or Flavor.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 To each\\npound of resin, put in one oz. of tallow, and 1 oz. of beeswax.

A piece\\nof board may be laid across the top of the eggs, and a little lime and\\neialt kept upon it, which keeps the fluid as strong at the top as at the\\nbottom. This will not fail you. They must always be kept covered\\nwith the brine. Families in towns and cities by this plan can have\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2jggs for winter use at summer prices.

When made in larger quantities, even a\\nbarrel, unless sold out very soon, the last part is not as good as the\\nfirst, owing to the separation of tlie camphene from the alcohol, unless\\nfrequently sliaken, whilst being retailed out.\\nINTEREST.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Computing by One Mnltiplicatiou and One Diyis-\\nfon, at any Rate Per Cent.

Some persons leach\\nit through charcoal, and others boil, or rather scald and skim, to get\\nclear of the pomace. In the first place, cider that is designed to keep\\nover winter, should be made from ripe, sound, sour apples only, and\\nconsequently it will be getting cool weather, and less likely to ferment.\\nThen when made\\nStand in open casks or barrels, and put into each barrel about 1\\npt. each of hickory, (if j^ou have them; if not, other hard wood,)\\nashes and fresh slaked lime; stir the ashes and lime first into 1 qt. of\\nnew milk; then stir into the cider. It will cause all the pomace to\\nrise to the surface, from which you can skim it as it rises, or you can\\nlet it remain about 10 hours, then draw off by a faucet near the bot-\\ntom, through a strainer, to avoid the hardened pomace.\\nIt is now ready for bottling, or barreling, if too much trouble to\\nbottle. If you barrel it, it has been found essential to sulphur the\\nbarrel. The sulphuring is done by dipping cotton cloth into melted\\nsulphur, and drying it; then cutting into strips about two by six\\ninches. Put about three gallons of cider into the barrel; fire one end\\nof the strip of the sulphured cloth, and introduce it into the bung-\\nhole, and hold It by means of the bung, giving it air sufficient to let it\\nburn, keeping the smoke in as it burns, when you will push the bung\\nin tight and shake the barrel until the sulphur-gas is absorbed into the\\ncider; then fill up the barrel with cider, and if not already in the cel-\\nlar, place it there, and you have accomplished the two points ftrst\\n^oken of.

That if a tooth is macerated in a saturated solution of\\nsugar, it is so much altered in the chemical composition that it\\nbecomes gelatinous, and its enamel opaque, spongy, and easily\\nbroken. This modification is due, not to free acid, but to a tendency\\nof sugar to combine with the calcareous basis of the teeth.\\nI have destroyed my own teeth, I have no doubt now, by constantly\\neating candies, while in the grocery business, before I knew its-\\ninjurious effects, and I believe it to have destroyed the first teeth of all\\nmy children which were born during my candy-eating propensities-\\nWhat say our candy-eating gentry to the above\\nLEMONADE.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 To Carry in the Pocket Loaf sugar, 1 lb. rub\\nit down finely in a mortar, and add citric-acid, 3^ oz.

Tomato Cultivation, for Early and Late.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The WorTd-n^\\nFarmer says of the tomato plant, that it bears 80 per cent, of itii\\nfruit within 18 inches of the ground, while more than half the plan)\\nis above that part. When the branches are cut they do not bleed, and\\nthey may therefore be shortened immediately above the large, o\\nearly-setting fruit.\\nThe removal of the smali fruit on the ends of the branches \\\\t\\nno loss, for the lower fruit will swell to an unnatural size by trim\\nming, and both a greater weight and measure of fruit will be tht\\nconsequence, besides obtaining a large portion five to fifteen day*\\nearlier. The trimming should be done so as to have a few leares^\\nbeyond the fruit, to insure perfect ripening. The importance of earlj\\nmanuring is too evident to need comment. The burying of the\\nremoved leaves immediately around the plant is a good practice, both\\nby insuring full disturbance of the soil, and by the presenting of a\\nfertilizer progressed precisely to the point of fruit making. The\\nportions buried decay rapidly, and are rapidly assimilated.\\nIf wanted very early and large, trim off all except two or three\\nupon each plant.\\n6. To ripen late tomatoes, pull the plants having green tomatoes\\non them, before the commencement of frosts, and hang them in a\\nwell ventilated cellar.\\nThe fruit will continue to ripen until early winter, especially it\\nthe cellar is cool and damp.\\n7.

The apples,\\nafter being gathered, are usually left for fourteen or fifteen days in a\\nbarn or loft to mellow, during which time the mucilage is decomposed,\\nand alcohol and carbonic acid developed.

There is so much said against the use of fat meats, and especially\\npork, as an aiticle of diet, that I cannot better close my remarks upon\\nthis subject than by giving the opposite opinions of those In high\\nplaces, corroborated also by my own experience.\\nDr. Dixon, of the Scalpel^ some time ago, assumed the position\\nthat the use of oils would diminish the victims of consumption\\nnine-tenths, and that that was the whole secret of the use of Cod-Livei\\nOil, to take the place of fat meats.\\nDr. Hooker s observations on the use of fat meats, connected with\\nconsumption, are as follows\\nFirst. Of all persons between the ages of 15 and 22 years,\\nmore than one-fifth eat no fat meat. Second. Of persons at the age\\nof 45, all, excepting less than 1 in 50, habitually use fat meat Third.\\nOf persona who, between the ages of 15 and 22, avoid fat meat, a\\nfew acquire an appetite for it, and live to a good old age, while the\\ngreater portion die with phthisis (consumption) before 35. Fourth.\\nOf persons dying with phthisis between the ages of 12 and 45, nine-\\ntenths, at least, have never used fat meats.\\nMost individuals who avoid fat meat, also use little butter or\\noily gravies, though many compensate for this want in part, at least,\\nby a free use of those articles, and also milk, eggs, and various\\nsaccharine substances. But they constitute an imperfect substitute\\nfor fat meat, without which, sooner or later, the body is almosfc \u00c2\u00abo\u00c2\u00bbe\\nto show the effects of deficient ealorification,", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0118.jp2"}, "119": {"fulltext": "Medical Department.

Why do so many young\\nladies, young clergymen, and students, die of consumption Simply\\nbecause chicken or other lean meats, hot biscuit, etc., without exercise,\\nmnke up the sums of their diet; when, if they would eat fat meats,\\nwith bread not less than one day old, scrub floors, saw wood, or other\\nirm exercise, according to sex, an hour at each end of each day, they\\nmight be spared for years perhaps to long lives of usefulness, to\\n\\\\heir families, congregations, or the world.\\n5.

First then, Dr. Beach says:\\nThe symptoms of a tape- worm, as related to me by Miss Dumou-\\nline, who had suflFered with it for twenty-five years, are in substance\\nas follows: It commenced at the age often, and afflicted her to the age\\nof thirty-five. The worm often made her distressingly sick at the\\nstomach she would sometimes vomit blood and be taken suddenly ill,\\nand occasionally while walking. It caused symptoms of many other\\ndiseases, great wasting of the flesh, etc. Her appetite was very ca-\\npricious, being at times good, and then poor for months, during which\\ntime her symptoms were much aggravated; sickness, vomiting, great\\npain in the chest, stomach and side, motion in the stomach, and also\\nJn the bowels, with pain, a sense of fullness or swelling, and beating\\nor throbbing in the same, dizziness, heaviness of the eyes: and she\\nwas altogether so miserable that she feared it would destroy her. When\\n*he laced or wore anything tight, it pi oduced great distress. The\\nivorm appeared to rise up in her throat and sicken her. Her general\\nbealtli was very bad. At intervals, generally some time after taking\\nmedicine, pieces of the worm would pass from the bowels, often as\\nnaany as forty during the day, all alive, and would swim in water.\\nTreatment. Miss Dumouiine stated that she had employed\\ntwentj physicians, at different periods, and taken a hundred different\\nclnds of medicine without expelling tlie worm. She had taken spirits\\n)f turpentine, but could not retain it upon the stomach. Under these\\ncircumstances I commenced my treatment. Cowage stripped from the\\npod, a small tea-spoon three times a day, to be taken, fasting, in a\\ntittle arrow-root jelly; then occasionally a purgative of mandrake. In\\nconnection with this, I directed her to eat freely of garlic, and com-\\nmon fine salt. gave these under the belief that each article possess-\\ned vermifuge properties, without ever having administered them for\\nthe tape-worm. After having taken them for some time, all her un-\\nfavorable symptoms ceased, and subsequently the remaining portion\\nof the worm passed lifeless from her an unprecedented circumstance.\\nShe immediately recovered, and has since retained her health,\\nand there is no evidence that there is any remaining. The patient\\nstated that the worm which passed from her during the time she was\\nafflicted with it, would fill a peck measure, and reach one mile in\\nlengtli. Her relief and gratitude may be better imagined than de-\\nscribed.- I have a portion of this worm in my possession. When\\nonce the tape-worm begins to pass the bowels, care must be taken not\\nto break it ofl^ for it will then grow again it has this peculiar prop-\\nerty.\\n3.

Fish, of Beardstown, Illinois, about six years old\\nThe only point of special interest In the case consists in the efflclencj\\nof the remedy to me wholly new, and accidentally brought to my\\nnotice which was used in its treatment.\\nI was treating a brother of this patient; a part of my prescrip-\\ntion for whom was, as a drink, the mucilage of elm bark, made by\\nputting pieces of the solid bark into water. The girl was seen to b\u00c2\u00ab\\nfrequently eating portions of the bark during the day the next morn-\\ning after which, upon my visiting the boy, the mother, with much\\nanxiety, showed me a vessel containing something that had that\\nmorning passed the girl s bowels, with bits of the elm bark, enveloped\\nin mucilage, which, upon examination, proved to be about three feet\\nof tape-worm. As I supposed the passage of the worm was accidental,\\nand had occurred from the looseness caused by the bark, I proceeded to\\nprescribe what I supposed a much more potent anthelmintic, a larg\u00c2\u00ab\\ndose of turpentine and castor oil. The turpentine and oil were givei\\nseveral times during the three consecutive days, causing pretty activ*\\npurging, but with no appearance of any portions of the worm. TTm\\ngirl being slender, and of irritable temperament, I was forced to desis\\nfrom further active medications and partly to allay irritation of th\\nbowels, and partly to test the influence of the bark on the worm, I\\ndirected that she should resume the use of the bark as before, bj\\nchewing and swallowing in moderate quantities.\\nOn visiting her the succeeding morn ing, I was shown portio*\\nof the worm, mostly in separate joints, that had been passed ovej\\nnight. Feeling now some confidence in the antJielmintic powers, of th\\nelm bark, I directed the continued use of it, in the solid form, as be-\\nfore, while there should be any portions of worm passing. In mj\\ndaily calls for some days, I had the satisfaction to learn that portioni\\nof the worm continued to pass, from day to day, and sometimes several\\ntimes a day.\\nI now ceased to visit my little patient, intending only an occa.\\nsional visit; bat my confidence in the eflicacy of the elm bark being sft\\nwell established, I advised its use to be continued for even two 01\\nthree days after any portions of the worm should be seen in the evacu-\\nations.

The head of the worm, with about fifteen\\ninches of the body attached, had been expelled But thinking that all\\nportion of the worm or worms might not have been removed, I ad-\\nvised that the patient should resume the use of the bark. Very soon\\nthe next day, after doing so, further portions commenced coming\\naway, among them one about six feet long, tapering to a thread-like,\\ntermination.\\nThe next time I took notes of the case, my estimate of the entire\\nlength of the worm that had been expelled, footed up one hundrtid and\\nthirty-five feet, whether one or more worms, I am unable to saj% as in\\nthe portions I say there w\u00c2\u00abre a head and tail, of what I supposed one\\nworm.

Several years ago, I was stopping for a number of weeks at a\\nhotel near Detroit whilst there, tootliache was once made the subject\\nof conversation, at which time the landlady, a Mrs. Wood, said she\\nhad been driven by it, to an extreme measure no less than boilinp\\nwormwood herbs in alcohol and taking a table-spoon of it into thi;\\nmouth, boiling hot, immediately closing the mouth, turning the heac\\nin such a way as to bring the alcohol in contact with all the teetli,\\nthen spitting it out and taking the second immediately, in the same\\nway, having the boiling kept up by setting the tin contaitiing it upon\\na shovel of hot coals, bringing it near the mouth.

Then\\nFirst. Inflammation is, generally, attended with pain, increased\\nheat, redness, and swelling. Some, or all of these signs always accom-\\npanying it, according to the structure of the organ affected.\\nSecond. The more loose the structure of the organ, the less\\nsevere will be the pain; and the cfiaracter of the structure also modifies\\nthe character of the pain. In mucous membranes, it is burning or\\nstinging. In serous membranes it is lancinating, and most usuallj\\nvery sharp and cutting. In fibrous structures, it is dull, aching, and\\ngnawing. In nervous structures, it is quick, jumping, and most usually\\nexcruciatingly severe and in nearly all structures more or less sore-\\nness is soon present.\\nThird. To make the foregoing information of value, it becomes\\nnecessary to know the structure of the various parts of the system.\\nAlthough the ultimate portions of muscle or flesh, as usually called, is\\nfibrous, yet, there is a loose cellular structure blended with it, which\\nfills up and rounds the form to its graceful be auty hence, here, we\\nhave more swelling, and less severity of pain.

Pleurisy. Pleurisy is an inflammation of the serous mem-\\nbrane enveloping (covering) the lungs, which is also reflected (folded)\\nupon the parieties (sides or walls) of the chest, (but I trust all will\\nmake themselves familiar with the description of Inflammation in\\nGeneral, before they proceed with the study of pleurisy,) attended\\nwith sharp lancinating pain in the side, difficult breathing, fever, with\\na quick, full, and hard pulse, usually commencing with a chill. In\\nm my cases the inflammation, consequently the pain, is confined^to\\none point, most commonly about the short ribs; but often gradually\\nextends towards the shoulder and forward part of the breast; the pain.\\nIncreasing and often becoming very violent. It may not, but usually\\nis attended with cough, and the expectoration is seldom mixed with\\nblood, or very free, but rather of a glairy or mucous character. As\\nthe disease advances, the pain is compared to a stab with a sharp in-\\nstrument, full breathing not being indulged, from its increasing the\\ndifficulty; the cough also aggravates the pain; great prostration of\\nstrength, the countenance expressing anxiety and suflering. The\\nbreathing is short, hurried, and catching, to avoid increase of pain;\\nin some cases the cough is only slight. It may be complicated with\\ninflammation of the lungs, or bronchial tubes, and if so complicated,\\nthe expectoration will be mixed or streaked with blood. Yet it makes\\nbut very little diff erence, as the treatment is nearly the same\u00e2\u0080\u0094 with\\nthe exception of expectorants, quite the same although expectorants\\nare not amiss in pleurisy, but absolutely necessary in inflammation of\\nthe lungs. Even Mackintosh, of the Regulars, says: It must be\\nrecollected that pneumonia, (inflammation of the lungs, and\\npleuritis, (pleurisy,) frequentlj co-exist, (exist together); but\\nneither is that circumstance of much consequence, being both in-\\nflammatory diseases, and requiring the same general remedies.

Inflammation of the Lungs, like other diseases of a^\\ninflammatory character, nearly always commences with a chill, soon\\nfollowed by fever, more or less violent, according to which the sever-\\nity of the case may be somewhat predetermined, unless of a congestive\\ncharacter; in which case, instead of a hot and fevered surface, there\\nWill be a cold, clammy feel to the hand, as well as unpleasant to tlie\\npatient. There will be difficulty in taking full breaths, as well as ao\\nincreased number of breaths to the minute, which in healthy persons i.\\ngenerally about twenty. Dull pain, with a tightness ot tne chest,\\nshort and perpetual hacking cough, scanty expectoration, which is\\ntough, and sticks to the vessel used as a spittoon, and is more or less\\nstreaked with blood, or more like iron rust in color, and may have so\\nmuch blood in it as to make it a brighter red. The pulse is variable,\\nso mucli so that but little confidence can be placed in it. The tongue\\nsoon becomes dry and dai k but a dry and glossy tongue, with early\\ndelirium, are considered dangerous symptoms, that is, under OW\\nSchool treatment. But with our rational treatment we very seldoito\\nhave a fatal termination, yet it is occasional, and really wonderful th;it\\nit is not more frequent, when we take into account the neglect of some\\nphysicians and imprudence of many patients.\\nIndications. As the blood has receded from the surface r.na\\ncentered upon the lungs, the indications are to return it; to its original\\nvessels, by judiciously applying heat and moisture, whch is sure tc\\nrelax their constringed condition, instead of cutting a hole and letting\\nit runout, (bleeding,) which prostrates the patient and retards hit\\nrecovery.\\nTreatment.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The treatment for Inflammation of the Lungs i\\nrecent cases, will be, at first, the same as for Pleurisy, that is, ti\\nproduce free perspiration soak the feet in hot water while administer\\ning the Alcohol Sweat. or Vapor Bath, as there directed, with \\\\X\\\\k\\nwhite-root tea and Sweating Drops, for several hours, with bottles-\\nof hot water or hot bricks to the feet and sides, mustard-drafts to tht\\nfeet also, as they can be borne and after 6 or 8 hours, the Vegeta-\\nble, or other cathartic should be administered, and great care not tc\\nexpose the patient to drafts of air during its operation, especially if in\\nperspiration. If this course is faithfully persevered in, it will call the\\nblood to the surface prevent congestion of the lungs (unnatural\\naccumulation of blood) lessen the fever, ease the pain, and aid expec-\\ntoration. But if the expectoration becomes difficult, and the disease\\nshould not seem to yield in from 8 to 13 hours at farthest, or by the\\ntime the cathartic has freely operated, then, or soon after, give the\\nEclectic, or Lobelia-seed Emetic, as directed under that head\\nanti if called to a case which is already confirmed, it is best to begin\\nwith the emetic, then follow up as above directed in recent cases.

And it would\\ncertainly be advisable, hi all cases, for girls to not only seek such\\nadvice from the mother, or lady with whom they may be living, but\\nbe guided by it also. And although, with many girls there may be\\n.ineasiness in the mammae, often amounting to real pain, yet no real\\ndanger need be apprehended for these unpleasant sensations will\\ncontinue and increase in severity, until in healthy young females there\\nwill be what is known as a s/ioic, which will afford immediate\\nrelief, not from the quantity of the flow, at the first few periods, but\\nfrom the fact that the organs peculiar to the fenjale have accomplished\\ntheir mysterious work. Ordinarily these periods begin at about fif-\\nteen years of age, some earlier or later even as much as a year, and\\nsometimes more. With girls who take an active part in the labors of\\nthe house, freely romping, playing, etc., their health and strength\\nbecoming fully developed thereby, these periods come on a little ear-\\nlier, and are moi-e healthy and regular.\\nAllow me here to give a word of caution about taking cold at this\\nperiod. It is very dangerous. I knew a young girl, who had not been\\ninstructed by her mother upon this subject, to be so afraid of being\\nfound with this show upon her apparel, which she did not know th9\\nmeaning of, that she went to a brook and washed herself and clothe*\\ntook cold, and immediately became insane remaining so as long as\\nI knew her. Any mother who so neglects her duty to her child, in\\nnot explaining these things, nor by putting a work of this kind into\\nher hands, runs the risk of injury to her daughter that may never be\\nremedied, even with the best treatment, after the harm is done.\\nAfter this flow takes place, the unpleasant feelings usually sub-\\nside, and the health again becomes good for the month, when all of\\nthe foregoing sensations recur again, with a larger flow and longer\\ncontinued, recurring every four weeks, and is then called menses, etc.,\\netc.\\nThis function of the female system, from the fineness and com-\\nplication of the structures, is very liable to become deranged in var-\\nioas ways.\\nIt maf^ be partially supprttMted or entu-ly \u00c2\u00bbt9{^)e4. mttcd ammf^", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0186.jp2"}, "187": {"fulltext": "Medical Department, 179\\nrhta rt iriay De painful or imperfect, dysmenorrhea it may be very\\nfree or excessive, menorrhagia, (like hemorrhage, for the treatment\\nof which see recipe for Uterine Hemorrhage, in another part of the\\nbook,) or it may be irregular in its recurrence and duration, or a\\ncontinual glairy flow, whicli indicates an inflammation of the parts,\\nleucorrhea.\\nBut as this monthly flow is absolutely necessary to health, between,\\niihese periods of life, say fifteen to forty-five, its suppression, pain-\\nfulness, excessiveness, or irregularity, will soon produce general debil-\\nity.\\nCauses.

A hernia is strangulated when the intestine is, as\\nit were, tied round with a string, so as to prevent the contents of the\\nbowels from passing off; in such a case, inflammation is excited, and\\nalarming, and sometimes fatal, symptoms, are manifest.\\nThe causes of rupture are various; viz., sedentary habits, violent\\nexercise, such as feats of agility, jumping, running, lifting and carrying\\nheavy weights, vomiting, straining, laughing, sneezing, and whatever\\ninduces extreme action of the abdominal muscles. Some parts of thei\\nparietes, or enclosure of the bowels, are naturally weaker than others a\\nespecially the inguinal and drural rings, and the umbilicus; and it is\\nof these parts that hernia most frequently occurs; or the abdominal\\nwalls may be defectively formed. When a hernia takes place sud-\\ndenly, there is a sensation of something giving way at the part, and\\nsome pain bi t In many persons it comes on gradually, and almost\\nimperceptibly, particularly in very debilitated constitutions.\\nThe general symptoms of a heruia, when reducible and free from\\nxtrangulation, are an indolent tuinor at some point of the abdomen,\\nfrequently descending out of the abdominal ring, or out of the navel,\\nbut occjisionally from otlier situations. The swelling often arises\\nuddenly, and is subject to a change of size, being smaller when the\\natient lies down on his back, and larger when he stands up or holds\\nKis breath. It frequently diminishes when pressed, and grows large\\nagain when the pressure is removed. Its size and tension often in-\\ni rease after a meal, or when the bowels are flatulent. In consequence\\nf the unnatural position of the bowels, many persons who have\\ncapture are occasionally troubled with colic, costiveness, and vomiting,\\nbut sometimes the functions of the intestines sufler little interruption.\\nBut in all cases ruptures are troublesome and dangerous, and\\ntnerefore ought to be attended to in tune. When a rupture is reduc-\\nole, return tlie protruded parts to their original cavity, by gently\\ntressing the pi ojecting tumor, which can be best effected when the\\n(.atient is lying on his back, with the legs bent, so that the knees, may\\ne erect; an attitude which he should always preserve as much as\\nI ossible. An injection should be given made of gruel, butter, salt,\\niud Ave or six drops of laudanum. Folds of linen dipped in ice-\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2v ater should be placed upon the tumor, and renewed every fifteen\\nftiinutes. Ice also may be applied with good effect. If the case has\\nbeen delayed too long, use flannels dipped in a warm decoction of\\nbitter herbs, as tansy, wormwood, horehound, and hops; these herbs\\ntend to soften the tumor, and facilitate its return. Change the flan-\\nnels frequently.\\nInfants are often subject to umbilical hernia, or rupture of the\\nnavel. It is cured by applying a proper bandage or truss, which, with\\nIncreasing strength, effects a cure.

He wets the tumor with the liquid, and then, in\\norder to produce speedy evaporation, blows upon it with a pair of\\nbellows. He states that he has reduced a number of strangulated\\nhernia by this method alone, when they had been doomed to undergo\\nan operation. While these means are being used, manual aid must b\u00c2\u00ab\\nused, called ^ax/s, (meaning the rijplacement of the parts by hand.)\\nThe position of the patient requires care and skill. His legs and\\nbuttocks should be elevated as high as possible, forming an angle, iJ\\npossible of 45 degrees. This may be effected by placing the back pan\\nof a chair underneath him. His thighs and body should be a littU\\nflexed or bent, in order to relax the muscles.

The moisture produced upon the sur-\\nface of a slight or deep burn is at once absorbed by the flour, and\\nforms a paste which shuts out the air. As long as the fluid matter.\\ncontinue flowing, they are absoi bed and prevented from producing\\nirritation, as they would do, if kept from passing oft by oily or resinous\\napplications, while the greater the amount of those absoi bed by the\\nflour the thicker the protective covering. Another advantage of the.\\nflour covering is, that next to the surface it is kept moist and flexible,\\nit can also be readily washed off without further irritation in remov-\\ning.

Each renewal brings fresh\\nrelief and a grateful coolness. If the injuiy is severe, especially if it\\ninvolve the chest, give 10 drops of laudanum to an adult, and repeat it\\nin an hour, and again a third time to a child of ten years, give in like\\nmanner only three drops, and beware of giving any to an Infant.

I would, therefore, (as in accidents of tliis kind time is most\\nprecious) recommend the following mixtures to be given at once:\\nLaudanum, 30 drops; sulphuric ether, 40 drops; brandy, a table-\\nspoon, in a wine glass of warm water. Tliis should be given directly,\\nand repeated in an hour s time if the pain is not subdued. This treat-\\nment should be followed up by beef tea and other concentrated forms\\nof nourishment. Of course the ever present remedy of covering the\\nburns freely with flour from a flour dredge, and applying cotton woo\\nabove the layer of flour, must not be neglected.\\nBurn or Scald. Iiumediately plunge the part in cold water, ano\\nkeep it therefor some time; or electrify it immediately; or if the pan\\ncannot be dipped, apply a cloth four times doubled, dipped in colO\\nwater, changing it when it becomes warm; or a bruised onion; ormii\\nlime-water and sweet oil to the thickness of cream.

The stiiig\\nof a bee is barbed at the ^nd, and consequently always left in tiie\\nwound; tliat of a wasp is i ointed only, so that they can sting more\\nthan once, which a bee canr.ot do. When any person is stung by a\\nbee, let the sting, in the first place, be instantly pulled out,- for the\\nlonger it remains in the wouad, the deeper it will pierce, owing to its\\npeculiar form, and emit mort, of the poison. The sting is hollow, and\\nthe poison flows through it, which is the sole cause of the pain and\\ninflammation. The pulling out of the sting should be done carefully,\\nand with a steady hand for if any part of it breaks in, all remedies\\nthen, in a great measure, will be inefiectual. When the sting is ex-\\ntracted, suck the wounded part, if possible, and very little inflamma-\\ntion, if any, will ensue. If hartshorn drops are immediately after-\\nwards rubbed on the part, the cure will be more complete. All notions\\nof the efficacy of sweet oil, bruised parsley, burnet, tobacco, etc.,\\nappear, on various trials, to be totally groundless. On some people,\\nthe sting of bees and wasps has no effect; it is therefore of litl con-\\nsequence what remedy they apply to the wound. However, the effect\\nof stings greatly depends on the habit of body a person is of; at one\\ntime a sting may take little or no eftect, though no remedy is used,\\nwhich at another time will be very virulent on the same person.

A cancer is a hard, indolent tumor, usually seated in\\nsome of the glands, as the arm-pits, eye, nose, lips, tongue, womb, and\\nliie female breast; the two last are most subject to it. It affects the\\naged more than the young, and may exist for years. It commences\\nwith a sniiill, hard tumor, increasing slowly, and attended with acute\\nshooting pains; sooner or later ulceration sets in. The discharge is so\\nacrid as to inflame the part with which it comes in contact. The place\\nwhere cancer occurs assumes a purplish appearance previous to its\\nulceration. Ulceration gives ease for a time, but the cancer penetrates\\ndeeper, and spreads wider, corrupting the stream of life, and reducing\\nto the greatest debility, and often terminating in death.\\nTo CURE, remove debility, and improve the general health. Reg\\nulate the bowels, and give an emetic. Give a vapor bath made of\\nbitter herbs, as camomile, hops, catnip, tansy, etc., and boiling watei\\nand vinegar. Occasionally rub the whole surface of the body with th*\\nfollowing liniment: Cayenne, 1 tea-spoon; salt, 2 table-spoons; poui\\nupon tlieni pt. of boiling water; infuse 3 hours, and then add y^\\npt. of boiling water infuse 1 hour longer, stirring occasionally\\nSteaming with the bitter herbs, combined as above, allaj s the pain,\\nswelling and inflanmiation.

Ir\\nI he midst of his pain, the poor man asked for a lemon. It abated tht\\npain; and the next day it gave him still greater relief. This led tht\\ndoctor to try citric acid; 4 gis. of the acid, in 1 oz. of water; andthia\\nas a gargle, entirely carried off the pain, and reduced the swelling ol\\ntlie tongue very much. The doctor tried the .\u00c2\u00abame remedy on a female\\nwith an ulcerous cancer on tiie breast, deemed incurable. Her tor-\\nments were so great, that neither she nor the otlier patients could get\\nany rest. He applied a pledget of lint soaked in the above solution,\\nand the relief was instantaneous.

Professor Phoebus, of Giessen, r^^\\nfers habitual costiveness to the following causes:\\nThe too spare use of articles of diet which promote the action\\nof the bowels. Water is placed first. It is taken by many in insufficient\\nquantity. In sedentary occupations the sensation of thirst is too sel-\\ndom excited, and the habitual frequency of such sensation may be\\ndiminished if the satisfaction of the call be nej^lected. To this class of\\naliments belong fruits, salads, sour milk, honey, and fat. Many country\\npeople, who sell all their produce, eat little of these things, and the\\npoorer inhabitants of towns get them in insufficient quantity. Those\\npersons who can procure them, \u00c2\u00a9at salads and fats in too small quan-\\ntities. Too little bodily exercise. Want of exercise of the powers of\\nthe large intestine. This is the most influential of all the causes. It is\\nan error to suppose that the power of the will extends only over the\\nsphincter for it prevails much higher, only it requires more time for\\nits exertion. Several minutes, or a quarter of an hour, may be re-\\nquired to initiate the evacuatory movement. By exercising it, we in-\\ncrease the disposition of the intestine to act, but this is rarely the case\\nin less than five minutes.\\nNumerous remedies have been recommended for constipation but\\nthe action of medicinal substances in so chronic an affection may be-\\ncome prejudicial, especially such as exert a chemical action, as salts or\\ndrastics. If a stool is desired, the patient must earnestly practice th\u00c2\u00ab\\nnecessary gymnastic, which consists in alternate movements of the\\nrectum as during actual evacuation, and in rapidly drawing in and\\nthen expanding the abdominal muscles. Such movements may bp\\ncommenced in the chamber and completed in the closet, several min\\nutes, a quarter of an hour, or even more, being required. If evacua\\ntion has commenced, but has not proved, productive enough, the\\nmovements must be continued, the person resolving not to quit thf\\ncloset until the aim has been attained. The movements are the same\\nas those normally employed but they are more rapid, and continued\\nfor a longer time. Kneading and rulDbing the abdomen, may be use\\nful but they are unnecessary and may be reserved for those not abU\\nto follow the above directions, such as children, etc.\\nAn adult should compel a stool every day. In from 4 to 8 weeks,\\na complete mastery may be acquired over the intestine, so that a stooi\\nmay be always secured once in the 24 hours. This powerful agency\\nacts more efficiently when conjoined with articles of diet favorable to\\nan open state of the bowels. A large quantity of water will be more\\neasily drank if at first carbonic acid gas be added. An adult, during\\nwinter, should take from 50 to 70 ozs. daily, (deducting from this the\\neqivalent of any artificial drinks he may take), a larger quantity still\\nduring great bodily exertion, and from to twice the quantity in a\\nsummer. When raw fruit gives rise to flatulence, it may be taken\\ncooked with spices, and especially when dried and cooked. With\\ngreater regularity of stools, flatulence becomes less, the food being\\nretained for a less time within the canal. Exercise is of great service;\\nbut it exerts no sudden effect, and at first may even induce constipa-\\ntion.\\nTrying the plan upon himself when a student, the author has,\\nduring his 28 years of practice, recommended it to an immense num-\\nber of persons, and in the great majority of cases, with complete\\nsuccess.

It is also called phthisis, from\\nthe Greek verb j)hthio, to waste away. Consumption is the most fre-\\nquent and most fatal of all pulmonary diseases. It offen begins with\\na slight dry cough, so slight and painless as not to attract notice. By\\nand by the cough increases, and expectoration gradually becomes\\ncopious, thick, yellow, and tinged with blood. Sometimes the appe-\\ntite remains tolerable, lent the breathing is more difficult, especially\\nduring and after bodily exertion, and the pulsation is become acceler-\\nated. There is a gradual emaciation of the body, debility, night\\nKvfeats, interrupted rest, the hectic flush, or a bright scarlet spot on the\\nisneek, especially after mating, tightness of the chest, and acute pains\\nunder the breast-bone. In the last stage emaciation rapidly increases,\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2ud the patient has alternations of hope and fear as to recoveiy.\\n^ope, however, the most prevails.\\nAs to the treatment of consumption, Dr. Beach says, If the pathol-\\nogy of phthisis consistfj in a diseased state of the blood, all former treat-\\nment is wrong, or very inefficient. We prescribe for the symptoms\\nmstead of the cause. If the elements of this disease circulate in the\\nblood, as in scrofula, syphilis, and other complaints, and are thrown\\nby the efforts of the system to the lungs, and these develop tubercles\\nthen is it not obvious that we must prescribe alteratives, or such medi-\\ncines as will eradicate its moi bid condition It is evident from these\\nrational remarks, that tiie nature of this disease, and that of others,\\ndepends upon a morbid and diseased condition of the blood. Hence\\nthen there must be an attempt to niter tJie quality of the blood. Remove\\nall the causes which produced this disease, as obstrncted perspiration,\\nevacuations, and secretions, a cold and damp residence. Insufficient\\nwarmth, and clothing, intemperance, venery, and self-polution; the\\nlast habit is tlie most prolific cause of consumption.\\nIn the tirst stage of consumption, special attention must be given\\nto the skin and bowels, by adopting the vapor bath, stimulating lini-\\nments, (See Stimulating Liniments, and also injections, to equalize\\nthe circulation, reduce all feverish symptoms, and ]irevent night\\nsweats.

On the following morning\\nhe declared he could hear with his right ear quite as well as before his\\nillness; the installation was therefore only repeated in the left ear,\\nand on the fourth day he declared himself quite cured. Another case,\\nsimilar to this, is reported by Dr. Berlemont, of Joncourt; and Dr.\\nCoursier, of Hounecourt, announces that he has been treating six\\npatients, between five and fifteen years of age, for some time with\\nether, to their manifest advantage.\\nAn eminent physician says Take sassafras oil, 5 drops sweet\\noil, yi oz.

The eyes ai; fixed\\nand reverted, and the convulsive agitations are violent; the teeth gnash\\nagainst each other, the tongue pi ojects, and is sadly bitten; the patient\\nfroths at the mouth, and is quite unconscious. The period of recur-\\nrence of epileptic fits is very variable. Death sometimes occurs in the\\nfirst; or, though rarel} recovery taking place, the disease never re-\\nturns. Years may intervene, or an irregular period of months, weeks,\\nor days, niaj separate the attacks. Epilepsy is more common in the\\nnight than in the day. As it becomes more firmly rooted in the sys-\\ntem, the tits recur more frequently.\\nTreatment. Prevent the patient from injuring himself during\\nthe fit. A piece of wood, india rubber, etc., should be placed between\\nthe teeth to prevent injuiy to the tongue. Remove nil tight clothing,\\nespecially about the neck. Elevate the head and shoulders. If the\\nfit does not depart, give one or two tea-spoons of the anti-spasmodic\\ntincture. When the fit subsides, give a vapor bath, and an emetic two\\nor three times a week. After the bath, rub the body over with the\\n6timula .ing Liniment. Gentle aperients should also be given now and\\nthen. Sponge the body every or every other morning with cold salt\\nand water. Let the diet be very light and digestible. As it is a dis-\\nease of debility, tonics should be employed as Peruvian bark, snake\\nroot, lady s slipper, and peony, which may be obtained of the medical\\nbotanists. Boil them till strong; add sugar, and best Madeira wine.\\nDr. Beach says, that salt is very eflicacious. As soon as there are any\\npremonitory symptoms, give a tea-spoon of salt, in a little water; and,\\nif practicable, lepeat it in twenty minutes; it shortens the fit, and maj\\nbe taken twice or thrice a day. The shower bath may also be used.\\nIf the disease proceeds from worms, use the remedies in that case pre-\\nscribed.

The parts of the body most exposed to the serious\\nconsequence of frost-bite are those farthest from the seat of circula-\\ntion, and the most exposed to a great degree of cold. These are, the\\ntoes and feet, fingei s, ears, nose, and the cheeks below the eye.\\nTlie effect of intense cold is, in the first place, to deaden the sensi\\nbility of the part most exposed, which it does by contracting the\\nvessels and driving the blood from the surface;, when the part, losin|i(\\nits healtliy vitality, is unable to resist the specific influence of the sur\\nrounding cold, and quickly falls a prey to the potency of the frost\\nand, in a short time, a partial gives way to an absolute death, or mor\\ntification of the member or organ, which soon after separates or fallis\\notf. To guard against the danger of froit^bites, the inhabitants of\\nvery cold coimtries, as the Russians and Esquimaux, cover both tha\\ncartilage of the ear and the nose.\\nSymptoms. A frost-bite is known by the swelling and discolora\\ntion, attended with pain, numbness, and a sense of pricking in thft\\npart, the color passing from a bright red till it becomes actually black\\nSometimes, however, beyond a slight degree of heat, and itching,\\nwhich soon passes off, the person is unconscious of the danger that i\u00c2\u00ab\\ntaking place, till too late to save the doomed part.\\nTreatment. The means employed in the treatment are extremely\\nsimple, but upon their sloio and cautious use depends the entire chanc*\\nr.f restoring the part or member to life; for should the temperature bt^\\nloo quickly raised, or the circulation too suddenly restored, the perfect\\nmortification the means are intended to avert will be certain to follow,\\nwhen all exertion is hopeless. For this purpose, the part must be\\nslowly rubbed with snow, or bathed with cold water, either in the\\nopen air or in a cold room, far removed from fire or warmth. After\\nhalf an hour of such steady employment of the snow or water, two or\\nthree tea-spoons of weak brandy and cold water are to be given, the\\nprocess continued a little longer, a little more spirits and water admin-\\nistered, and the patient finally put to bed in cold sheets, and in a cold\\nroom\\nWhen the whole body has been rendered insensible by jntenso\\ncold, as is sometimes the case in crossing the Alps, and in severe win-\\nters even in this country, the same treatment is to be adopted; but\\ninstead of rubbing a part only, the whole body must be rubbed with\\nsnow, till the friction of several pairs of hands induces some return to\\nsensibility.

In an article\\nentitled Hydrophobia, to be found in t\\\\\\\\Q Citizen of last week signer*\\nObserver, and claiming to set forth medical authorities tending u-\\nshow the incurability of the dreadful disease, he cites authorities, who,\\nhad Observer made a more minute inspection of their works, wouhl\\nhave led liim to a different opinion from that formed by hastily glanu\\niug over them.\\nTiie subject of so much discussion, Mr. Burt True, was bitten by\\nrabid dog last May. The dog had bitten several animals and was killed\\nYoung True was bitten in the center of the inside of the right hand.

Tlu\\nwound healed, and I emained so, until between two and three week.-\\nsince, wlien it became irritable and broke out again. Soon the firs\\nmarke symptoms of hydrophobia showed themselves, convulsions.\\nburking like a dog, frothing at the mouth, and making p.trenuouj.\\nfcflbrts to bite everything that came near. During these convulsions,\\ntlie i)atient would seize the pillows from his bed iu Ins teeth, and shake\\nand rend them with all the seeming ferocity of an angry dog. An in-\\ntense dread of water also exhibited itself, the sight of which threw\\nliim into the most terrible convulsions, at these times requiring thf/\\nunited strength of five men to keep him under subjection, in fact,\\nevery symptom of hydrophobia made itself conspicuous.

Dr. Buisson, of Lyons, claims to have\\niiscovored a remed} In attending a female patient in the last stage\\ni)f canine rabies, the doctor imprudently wiped his hands with a hand-\\nkerchief impregnated with her saliva. He had a slight abrasion on\\n(he index linger of his left hand, and confident in his own curative\\nsystem, the doctor merely washed the part with water. However, he\\nwas fully aware of tlie imprudence he had committed, and gives the\\nfollowing account of the matter afterwards: Believing that the\\nmalady would not declare it\u00c2\u00bbelf until the 40th day, and having numer-\\nous patients to visit, I put off from day to day the application of my\\nremedy that is to say, vapor hallis.

When no blood is\\ndischarged, they are termed blind piles; and, when the discharge is\\nonly serum, white piles.\\nIt is most frequently caused by costiveness, by pregnancy, and a\\nsedentary life, by strong purgatives, and by dram-drinking. The\\npiles are sometimes the effect of relaxation and debility, and not un-\\nfrequently result from an inflammatory action in the rectum, and a\\ndiminished secretion of mucus from its inner membrane.\\nTreatment. When piles are caused by constipation, and a de-\\nbilitated state of the bowels, it is needful to open them, and keep them\\nso by gentle aperients. Medicines which act moderately upon the\\nbowels, are calculated to remove that morbid state of the liver and\\nstomach which often causes the complaint. The patient may take sul-\\nphur, cream-of-tartar, confection of senna, and the lenitive electuary;\\nbut all strong purgatives must be avoided.\\nMix sulphur, oz.; confection of senna, 2 ozs. saltpeti e, 3 drs.;\\nand as much syrup of orange as will give the mixture a proper con-\\nsistence. About the size of a nutmeg must be taken two or three times\\na day.\\nIt is very soothing and healing to steam the parts with a sitz bath\\nmade of a strong decoction of bitter herbs; as hops, catnip, tansy,\\npennyroyal, and camomile flowers. Pour upon them boiling water\\nand vinegar. Infuse some time boil again, and let the steam ap-\\nproach the parts.\\nA cold water cloth has been found of great service. Dip a cloth\\ninto cold water; let the cloth be four-fold; apply it close, and press it\\nto with a dry cloth as it warms, re-dip into cold water; do this several\\ntimes; then convey into the anus some pure tallow or lard, or the pile\\nointment, described at the end of this article.

The slippery elm is both cooling and healing. Ten drops of\\nlaudanum may be added to the poultice.\\nWhen there is great constipation, an emolient injection is indi-\\ncated.

It is good to wash the anus after every\\nevacuation. Generally speaking, the application of cold water is more\\neffectual than warm water for fomenting, etc.; but this must be de-\\njided by the patient, as warm water in some states of the piles is very\\njoothing.\\nTo effect a cure, the bowels must be kept regularly open. Take\\nEpsom salts, }4 oz. infusion of senna, 6 drs. tincture of senna, 3\\nirs. decoction of bark, 1 oz. spearmint water, 1 oz. water, 4 ozs.\\nbest manna, 3 drs.

Or, take a gentle aperient also every other night,\\nand on the alternate night the tonic pill (which see).\\nWhen the constitution has become habituated to the disease, stim-\\nalants, as pepper and ginger, taken with the aliment, often afford\\nconsiderable relief. Elecampene root, 3 ozs.; sweet fennel-seed pow-\\nder, 3 ozs.; black pepper powder, 1 oz.; milk of sulphur, 1 oz.; puri-\\nfied honey, 2 ozs. brown sugar, and molasses, of each IJ^ ozs.

About the size of a nutmeg to be taken two\\nor three times a day.\\nThe decoction of oak bark is said to be a good remedy for piles.\\nAloes, says Dr Buchan, which form a principal part of the\\nadvertised pills, are frequently the cause of piles. Therefore persons\\nsubject to them should avoid all aloetic purges. An habitual costive-\\nness is much more effectually and safely removed by a spoonful of\\ncastor oil taken occasionally in an evening. A weak solution of sugar\\nof lead with a little laudanum is useful when the piles are very pain-\\nful. Powdered galls and hog s lard form a good ointment. Henbane\\nleaves powdered and mixed with slippery elm and sweet oil, and six\\ndrops of laudanum, form a good application. The pain is often re-\\nmoved by an emetic, or by taking twice a day 20 or 30 drops of balsan:\\nof copaiba on loaf sugar, or in a little peppermint water. The vapor\\nof boiling water over leeks is useful.\\nPiles, Bleeding. Lightly boil the juice of nettles with a little\\nsugar; take 2 ozs. It seldom needs repeating. Wesley.\\nPiles, To Cure.

Pleurisy is inflammation of the membrane termed\\npleura, which covers the lungs, and lines the internal surface of the\\nchest. It is caused by obstructed perspiration, through exposure to\\ncold, bleak winds; di-inking cold liquors when the body is hot; sleep-\\ning out doors, or on the damp ground; wet clothes; exposure to tlie\\ncold air when in a state of perspiration. It may also be caused by\\ndrinking strong liquors, by the stopping of the usual evacuations\\netc., etc.\\nThe SYMPTOMS are shivering, pain in the head, back, stomach\\nsickness, and vomiting, despondency, violent pain in one or both sides,\\ndifficult breathing, high fever, thirst; the pain is greater when cough-\\ning, or when taking in a full breath; the pulse is hard, strong, and\\nfrequent.\\nTreatment. In this disease the temperature of the whole body\\nand its extremities is diminished, while the heat in the affected part h\\ngreatly augmented. Allopathists would recur to bleeding at once; but\\nthat system of depletion is not necessary. Common sense says, equaL\\nize the circulation of the blood, and this can only be done by restoring\\nthat which has been partially lost or dimini^lied, viz., vitality or heat\\nThe disease has been caused by cold it must be cured br a wise ap\\nplication of heat.

It\\narises from morbid irritability of tlie heart; it is often purely nervous,\\ncaused, in some cases, by the disordered state of the stomach and\\nbowels, by alcoholic drinks, by excessive venery, by extreme grief,\\nand disappointments prejing upon the spirits, all tending to weaken\\nthe nervous system. It is sometimes a symptom of other diseases, as\\nindigestion, hysteria. The beating is frequently so violent as to be\\nheard at a considerable distance, and sometimes the effects of the in-\\ncreased action of the heart may be seen on the outside of the clothes.\\nThe pulse at the same time is very irregular, and often intermittent.\\nPalpitation of the heart is not to be neglected, as it may lead to serious\\nconsequences.\\nThe treatment of this disease is much similar to that for indiges-\\ntion. The treatment must depend on the state of the body for paj-\\npitation may be the effect of increased vitality, or fullness, or Of\\ndebility and relaxation, etc. If the system be in a plethoric state,\\n(fullness,) aperients and a spare diet must be enjoined.

It is\\nindicated by a suspension of motion, frequently of one side, rarely tha\\nlower extremities from the loins; and it b, sometimes confined to a\\nmuscle or nerve, as of the bladder and auus, allowing the urine and\\nfeces to pass off involuntarily; sometimes the muscles of the tongue,\\ncausing stammering and loss of speech sometimes of the optic\\nnerves, producing gutta serena, or imperfect vision; and sometimes\\nthe nerve of the ear, causing deafness.\\nIt is generally preceded by numbness, coldness, paleness, etc. In\\nbad cases, where one-half of the body is paralysed, the speech is much\\nimpeded, or totally lost, and convulsions often take pla\u00c2\u00abe on the sound\\nside.

The long-continued use of sedatives will likewise pi-o-\\nduce palsy, such as constant handling of white lead; poisonous fume?\\nof metals or minerals; translation of morbid msitter to the head; sup-\\npression of accustomed evacuations; pressure on the nerves by laxa-\\ntives; fractures, wounds, or other ext\u00c2\u00bbjrnal injuries, etc.\\nTreatment.

It is only of late years that the\\ntrue nature of this disease has been properly understood, many of the\\nmost serious cases having been regarded as and treated tor gonorrhcea,\\nwhich, though indeed the proper name of the disease, is a term now\\nconfined to an unhealthy discharge from the lining membrane of the\\nurethra, a discharge which, when long standing and chronic, becomes\\na gleet, and is always the result of mfection. Spermatorrhoea, on the\\ncontiary, proceeds from an injury inflicted on the organs of reproduc-\\ntion, and consists of a discharge from the spermatic and seminal vessels,\\nand may be entirely, and in many cases is, completely irrespective of\\nall venereal taint.\\nSpermatorrhoea is a disease that could hardly, by any possibility,\\narise in a natural way no organic affection of the part, no amount of\\ndebility, or complication of accident or disease, indeed, could produce\\nivhat is called seminal emissions, did nftt the patient, by incontinence\\nor vice, provoke the cause, and engender the disease himself. Many\\nmen are so inordinate in their passions, that in time they amount to a\\nmental disease, such as we liave already characterized under the name\\nof satyriasis, an intemperance which, if given way to, so debilitates\\ncheir bodies and paralyses the seminal organs, that whether unduly\\nexcited or in a state of temporary rest, they ai e kept in a condition of\\nconstant irritation and involuntaiy excitation; thus, whether sleeping\\nor waking, often from the most trivial contact, indeed from the mere\\nforce of the imagination alone, those debilitating emissions, which con-\\nstitute the most important feature of this disease, are repeatedly taliing\\nplace. But though incontinence in youth is often the cause of sperma-\\ntorrhoea, the disorganization of the spermatic system, and the ruin of\\nconnubial liappiness, it is unfortunately to the vice of self-pollution,\\ntliat moral oft ense known as onaism, that we must in general attribute\\ntiiat moral prostration and physical incapacity now so wide spread\\namong the youth of the present generation, and of which the disease\\nwe are at present considering is only one of the lamentable evidences.\\nWe had intended to devote a space of this work to the injury in-\\nflicted on the reproductive organs by the inconsiderate folly of youth,\\nbut for reasons which will be readilj understood by all who remember\\nthe strictly domestic nature of tliis work, we have deemed it best to\\nembody the pith of what we might have said on such a subject in this\\nplace, aa being more j)ertinent to the theme, and at the same time\\nkeeping the pages of the Recipe Book generally free from what, to", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0265.jp2"}, "266": {"fulltext": "258 Appendix to Medical Department,\\nmany, might be thought objectionable matter. Of the moral unbai\\npiness ami physical misery resulting from the vice of self-abuse, few\\nthink at nil, or, if they do, regard what they hear as bugbears, oi evils\\nonly problematical when compared to present enjoyment. As a few\\npractical truths will go farther in illustrating our point, ^.nd showin-j:\\nthe evils we have alluded to, than a page of wholesome counsel, we\\nbeg those of our readers who may consult this article to remember\\nthat every emission unnaturally produced consumes between 6 and 8\\nounces of blood, or, in other words, that that amount of arterial blood\\nis required to eliminate tlie seminal fluid lost at one emission. If it is\\nfurther remembered that there are only 30 pints old measure of\\nblood in the adult body, anrl that the amount of chyle, or new blood,\\ndoes not exceed twelve ounces a day, it will be easily understood, on\\nthe commonest principles of arithmetic, how fatal to the stamina of\\nthe body must be two, three, or more such emissions in the day. So\\ngreat is the reproducing power in youth up to a certain age, that this\\ndrain may be borne with apparent impunity for some time, but sooner\\nor later it is certain to show its influence on the system for it is an\\nestablished fact, that no law of nMure can he abused witiiout entailing a\\nfearf id penalty. In this case it is emaciation, wealvuess, loss of appetite\\ndimness of sight, pains in the back and head, hot and feveri sleep,\\ndisturbing dreams, loss of memory, and too often a total prostration\\nof the mental and phj^sical powers. To render this subject, and whai\\nwe have yet to say upon it, more intelligible, the following abstract of\\nthe physiology of the organs in question will be found both interesting\\nand useful: The spermatic cord brings from the aorta a stream of\\narterial blood to the organ inclosed in the scrotum, and known as the\\ntesticle; or rather, when the cord reaches tiie bag of the scrotum, it\\ninstantly diminishes in calibre, and becomes as thin as tliefl nest thread,\\nand of several hundred yards in length. For the clo.ser and more con-\\nvenient disposal of this immense length of vessel, nature has wound it\\nup like a ball of cotton, in which shape, under the name of testicle, it\\nhangs at the end of the spermatic cord; from the op|)osite end of this\\nball or testis a vessel rises, cn\\\\\\\\e \\\\t\\\\\\\\evas deferens, wiiicli, running undei\\nthe bladder, receives a duct from a small gland, the vesicula seminalis,\\nand then entering the prostrate gland, is joined by its fellow of the\\nopposite side, when it receives the name of ejactatori/ duct, which finally\\nterminates in the bulb of the urethra. The blood brought by the\\nspermatic cord to the testicle is in that organ converted into seminal\\nfluid, and carried by the vas deferens to the urethra, receiving on the\\nway a vitalizing fluid from the seminal gland; it will now be under-\\nstood, that as the excitement is given, the semen passes at once along\\nthe vas deferens, and into the ejactatory duct, wlsioh propels it into the\\nurethra at the proper moment. The physical consequence of the abuse\\nof these organs is, after a time, a total deterioation of the seminal\\nflui J, whicli, instead of the proper consistency,l)ecomL sthin and watery;\\nthe vitality, on which all lis i)otency depends, appears entirely gone,\\nfor it has no longer the power to produce a natural erection, and, as a\\ngerminating fluid, is absolutely sterile. Though, unable, however, to\\nperform their healthy secretion, the spermatic organs, under the stim-\\nulus of a constant and irritating excitement, form a thin, watery .secre-\\ntion, which either runs away fiom the urethra like a gleet, or is dis-\\ncharged by involuntary emissions. The scrotum, inste ul of being\\nrough, firm, and contracted, and the testicle witliin feeling hard, and\\ncom])act, IS flabby, relaxed and pendulous, a:id often thrice its natur. \u00c2\u00bbl\\nlength; wliile the spermatic cord, greatly attenuated, is terminattiJ *-X", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0266.jp2"}, "267": {"fulltext": "Appendix io Medical Department. 259\\nthe bottom of the lengthened scrotum by a soft, oblong mass, that we\\ncan only believe to be the testicle by its relative situation.

In the lirst place it is a sine qua non\\nthat the patient should abstain fi-om all the habits and practices which\\nhave brought on the disease, and instead of daily robbing his body of\\nlarge quantities of blood, he should endeavor, by an altered iife, to\\n*dd to the quantity and quality of that vital fluid. In the dii-ections\\n/[(iven for food and exei cise.the patient should be punctual and regular,\\nas the cure depends as much on the observance of the following rules\\nas on the medicines to be taken First, then, the patient should go to\\nbed at 10 o clock, and be careful to put no more clothes on the bed\\nthan are actually necessary he should rise at seven in the morning,\\nand the instant he wakes gre^oui of bed, and having over night prepared\\na hip bath of cold salt water, seat himself in it, using a towel or a\\nflesh brush to rub the water well into his hips, back, and thighs; after\\nQve minutes so spent, he must rub himself thoroughly dry with a rough\\ntowel, then di ess, and proceed to lake an hour s brisk walk. Those\\nivho cannot obtain a bath should use a sponge and cold vinegar and\\nn-^ater, or salt and water. The breakfast should be taken at eight\\no clock, the dinner at one, tea at six, and supper at nine o clock; and\\nto insure sleep on going to bed, prevent dreams, and the hectic flushes\\nand irritating desires which at fir.st may arise, he should take 20 drops\\nof laudanum, or 30 drops of the liquor of of the acetate of morphia,\\nhalf an hour before going to bed. After the first few weeks, and\\nwhen the system begins to feel the benefit of the altered treatment,\\nthe sedative may be easily broken ott by reducing the quantity taken\\nbj two or three drops every niglit. Once a week the patient should\\ntake a shower bath in the evening, in addition to the daily hip bath or\\nsponging. The mind is to be kept constantly employed, either by some\\nmechanical employment or by reading, care being taken that the\\nmatte* read shall be of a healthy and moral tone, the patient must\\nalso avoid heated rooms, theatres, all places of amusement, and, as far\\nas possible, female society, and never allow his hands or his mind to\\nbe unemployed.

Then it affects the hand on the same side; so\\nthat if a glass of liquor be put into his hand to drink, before he can\\nget it to his mouth, he uses a great number of odd gestures, on account\\nof the hand being drawn different ways by the convulsive action of\\nthe muscles, so that he cannot carry it in a straight line.

Hie plan consists\\nin applying the ftc tj^uw ca/i /tar\u00c2\u00abi(Zt s or any vesicating fluid, by means\\nof a camel s-hair brush, to the apex of each spot or pustule of the dis-\\nease, on all the exposed surface of the body, until blistering is evi-\\ndenced by the whiteness of the skin in the parts subjected to the appli-\\ncation, when the fluid producing it is to be washed off witli water or\\narrow-root gruel The pain attending the application of the vesicating\\nfluid, is very slight and transient.\\nSmall Pox\u00e2\u0080\u0094 To Prevent Pitting in. The following has been found\\nverj^ ert ectual: The application consists of a solution of India-rubber\\nUi chloroform, which is painted with a camers-hair pencil over tlie face\\n(ami neck in women),, when the eruption has become fully developed.\\nWhen tlie chloroform has evaporated, which it very readily does, there\\nis left a thin elastic film of India-rubber over the face. This the patient\\nfeels to be rather comfortable, as it removes itching and all irritation\\nand what is more important, pitting, once so common, is thorougMi/\\npreventod by the application. In making the solution, the India-rubber\\nmust be cut into small pieces, and chloroform added till it is dissolved.\\nGutta-percha has been tried, but has not answered, on account of its\\nnon-elasticity. Should any of the solution, from some cause, be torn\\notf, apply the solution as before.\\nSmall Pox Pitting in. Dr. George recommends the use of pre-\\npared calamine, for the exclusion of the atmospheric air. In a very\\nsevere case, which occurred in my practice, in which the face and throat\\nwere frightfully swollen, I dressed one-half of it with calamine powder,\\nand the other half I pencilled over, using a flat hair pencil, with sweet\\noil and the white of an egg, in equal parts well mixed, three or four\\ntimes a day. No solution of India-rubber or any other sub.stance,\\nwould have answered the purpose belter; and its application was cer-\\ntainly attended with more comfort than that of the use of the powder..\\nBut it is not only the pitting which is prevented by the calamine, but\\nthe rescuing of the patient from a state of suffering bordering upon\\nmisery.\\nHe recommends the followiusr treatment to the public. Firstly,\\nfrom the commencement of the disease I would cover the whole body,\\nface and all, with the calamine, shaken through a common pepper box,\\ntaking care that the powder does not remain in masses. The inflam-\\nmation on each pustule is by these applications much lessened, a point\\n\u00c2\u00abf great consequence.\\nSecondly, sprinkle about 1 ounce of powdered camphor every two", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0271.jp2"}, "272": {"fulltext": "264 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nor three nights between the under sheet and blanket, the whole length\\nof the body, putting more about the shoulders and neck.

It will prevent or cure the small pox\\nthough the pittings are filling.

It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure\\nscarlet fever. Here is the recipe as I have used it, and cured my\\nchildren of scarlet fever; here it is as I have used it to cure the small\\npox; when learned physicians said the patient must die, it cured: Sul-\\nphate of zinc, 1 gr.; fox-glove (digitalis), 1 gr. 1^ tea-spoon of sugar;\\nmix with two table-spoons of water. When tlioroughly\\nmixed add four ounces of water. Tnke a spoon every hour. Eithe r\\ndisease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child smaller doses, ac-\\ncording to age.

The reason\\nthat salted meat is so productive of scurvy is, because it is drained of\\nits nutritious juices, which run off in brine, its fibres being at the\\nsame time hardened, and rendered more difficult of digestion.\\nTreatment.

It happens to persons who discover the smallest capacity\\nof the lungs, by the narrowness of tlie chest, and l)y the prominency\\nof their shoulders, an evidence of difficult respiration. It occurs in\\npersons of a slender, deliciUe n)ake; to persons of much sensibility\\nand irritability, and whose bodies are of a delicate texture. It arises\\nsometim ^s from the stoppage of the menstrual fl^ux, from plethora, and\\nviolent exercise of the lungs.\\nOne great cause of haemoptj^sis is, the deposition of scrofulous\\nmatter in the substance of the lungs, forming tubercles.

It commences with an unusual sense of tightness in\\nthe throat, particularly on swallowing, which is often effected with\\ndifficulty and pain.

The inflammation gener-\\nally attacks one tonsil tirst, which in a day or two it sometimes leaves\\nand effects the other, and not unfrequently quits them both suddenly,\\n^nd flies to the lungs.\\nCauses. It is generally caused by the external application of cold\\nair, particularly about the neck. Whatever violently stimulates the\\nfauces, in a plethoric habit, especially, as acrid food, poisons, etc., may\\noroduce it.\\nTreatment. As the inflammation, from the delicate structure of\\n\\\\he parts, soon advances to suppuration, actim means should be speedily\\n^ra ployed to disperse it. For this purpose the patient should take a\\nliill dose of the aperient mixture, and after its operation the saline\\nnixture.\\nOne of the most effectual remedies is an emetic. This should be given\\nas soon as the symptoms appear, and repeated as often as necessary.\\nThe throat should be steamed with a strong decoction of tansy, worm-\\ntvood, hops, and camotnile flowers, boiled in vinegar and water. Put\\nthese into a large pitcher, over which place a funnel, that the patient\\nmay inhale the steam for 15 minutes, and repeat it every two hours\\nuntil the urgent symptoms are gone. Afterwards heat the herbs and\\ntjind them on the neck.\\nA vapor bath is also of the greatest service, benefiting the whole\\nsystem, and the throat especially.

When the death of the child or fetus, as it is called\\nbefore birth is the cause of the abortion, the fact is indicated by the\\nsoft and flabby state of the breasts, a sense of weight and coldness at\\nthe bottom of the belly, attended with occasional shivering, pains in\\nthe back and loins, and, after a time, by a bearing down pressure that\\ncomes on and goes oflF at regular periods and intermissions, till the\\ncoming on of the proper expulsive pains. Where the cause has been\\nsudden, the first symptoms are generally pains in the back, weight in\\nthe bottom of the abdomen, langor, great depression of spirits, shiver-\\ning, and occasionally fainting. These are followed, after a longer or\\nshorter time, by a discharge of blood, sometimes only trifling, at others\\nexcessive and in alarming quantity, accompanied by sharp flying pains\\nalong the back and over the belly; these pains gradually increase in\\nstrength and duration, till they assume all the characters of regular\\nlabor pains, which continue till the child or the embryo is expelled\\n(See Labor. As women who have once had an abortion are par\\nticularly liable to suffer a repetition of the same misfortune, and at the\\nsame period, particular care must be taken in the next pregnancy,\\nespecially till the woman has passed the period of the first mishap, to\\nprotect her from any injury or circumstance which might cause a rep-\\netition of the accident; for there is no casualty to which a female is\\nliable, that produces a more serious and depressimg influence on the\\nsystem, than that of abortion and should it occur with a first child, it\\nmay be repeated for several years, unless most skilfully guarded against.\\nTreatment. The first object to be considered, in cases of ex-\\npected abortion, is to arrest the progress if begun, and, if possible,\\nsecure the continuance of the pregnancy. For this purpose the earliest\\nsymptoms are to be attended to, and these are, pains in the back and\\nloins, sometimes extending over the front of the belly, accompanied\\nwith a general heat and irritability of the body, with a frequent de-\\nsire to empty the bladder, and a slight evidence of blood, or show.\\nIn cases of this nature, and before the separation of the child from\\nthe womb has been effected, and while there is yet a chance of prevent-\\ning the abortion, the patient is to be placed on her back, in bed, and\\nkept perfectly calm and still, the legs slightly raised, so as to relax the\\nmuscles of the abdomen, and napkins, wrung out of cold water or cold\\nvinegar and water, applied frequently over the belly.

It must be remembered that\\nnil the time the womb is open, the patient is in danger of excessive\\nbleeding, or what is called flooding and when this comes away in\\npushes, unattended by the necessary pains, it becomes of the utmost\\nmportance to empty the womb at once, and by the most expeditious\\ndieans.

Though the womb contracts immediately on the expul-\\nsion of the after-birth, it does not recover its natural size for several\\ndays indeed, weeks. In the cavity left, the blood, exuding from the\\nvessels of the womb, collects and coagulates into clots; to expel these\\nthrough the narrow mouth of the womb causes a certain amount of\\nmuscular contraction of the organ, which contraction induces those\\ngrinding sensations called after-pains, and according to the size of the\\nclot to be expelled is the severity and duration of the pain, which\\nceases when the obstruction has passed.\\nTreatment. When the discharge is considerable, and there are\\nmany clots, the pains continue sometimes for hours without any lengtli-\\nened abatement; in such case, as they produce a good deal of harass-\\nment to the patient, the abdomen should be fomented by napkins\\nwr\u00c2\u00bbng out of hot water, the application of a bottle of hot water to the\\nbottom of the belly, and the exhibition of 20 or 25 drops of laudanum,\\nIn half a cup of gruel.

These commence by yawning, depression of spirits,\\nflushings of the face, sudden tears, palpitation of the heart, pain in the\\nleft side, with a sense of swelling, and a feeling as if a ball wa.=5 rising\\nfrom the stomach up into the throat, with a sense of choking, the pa-\\ntient being convinced that there is an actual round substance lodged\\nin her gullet. From this symptom the disease has been named Globus\\nHystericus.

Most practical surgeons divide labors into four orders\\niiittural, tedious, preternatural, and complex and though we purpose to\\nconfine our remarks to the first, it is necessary that we should state the\\ncharacteristics of each.\\nA natural labor is one in which the. child presents naturally for\\nthe birth, and the labor is begun and concluded in the space of twenty-\\nfour hours. Tedious labors are those in which the presentation is still\\nnatural, but from some irregularity in the action of the womb, the\\ndelivery is extended over the twenty-four hours, being somet?nies de-\\nlayed for seventy-two hours. Preternatural labor: this order implies\\nan unnatural presentation that is, any part of the child above or be-\\nlow the funis, or navel-cord, presenting, except the head. Complex\\nlabors are those where the birth is complicated with hemorrhage, or\\nseparation of the placenta, or after-birth by the presentation of a foot\\nor a hand, or, in the case of twins, two hands or two feet, and a few\\nother peculiarities.\\nNatural Labor is divided into three stages the first stage em-\\nbraces the period from the first pains, or from the commencement of\\nthe contraction of the womb, to the complete dilatation of its mouth,\\nor outlet a process that may extend from four to twelve hours. The\\nsecond stage extends from the complete opening of the womb to the\\nbirth or expulsion of the child, and may extend from half an hour tc\\ntwelve or more hours; and the third stage is comprised in the time fron\u00c2\u00bb\\nthe birth of the child to the expulsion of the after-birth and mem-\\nbranes, and the complete contraction of the womb, generally occupy-\\ning about half an hour.\\nMost women strive to keep about till the last, and seldom, unless\\nfantastical, wish to have the surgeon about them until his services are\\nlikely to be of use and most women, particularly those who have had\\nchildren, can always tell when that time has arrived, both by their\\nfeelings and by certain signs denominated shorts and as some females\\nhave a very rapid time, the whole three stages being often completed\\nin less than an hour, the medical man should always be sent for di-\\nrectly that local demonstration is made.\\nThe surgeon, if he is a man of any experience, will be able to form\\na shrewd guess of how the labor is progressing by watching his pa-\\ntient s face, paying attention to the tone of her voice, and by noticing\\nwhether the abdominal tumor is high up or low down. When it is\\nnecessaiy to make an examination, it should be performed tenderly\\nand expeditiously; the patient being previouslj placed on her left side\\nin bed, and covered by the counterpane, as it is quite unnecessary for\\nher to go to bed for good till such time as her doctor considers it pru-\\ndent. The object of the first examination is to ascertain that point,\\nand to satisfy himself on three important matters, first, i.s it a natural\\npre.sentation; in other words, is the 7iead presenting, and if so, is it\\npresenring right, or in sucli a manner that the occiput, or back of the\\nhead, shall be to the pubis and the face to the sacrum? Secondly, if\\nthe mouth of the womb open, are its lips thin, dilatable, and moist, o/", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0302.jp2"}, "303": {"fulltext": "Appendix to Medical Department. 295\\nare they thick, puckered, dry, and unyielding? And lastly, are the\\npassages relaxed and moist? If these points are all favorable, the\\nlabor may be prognosticated as likely to be safe and expeditious; the\\npatient should be allowed to get up and walk about the room as long\\nwith occasional rests as possible, holding by the bed-post every\\ntime a pain comes on, the surgeon avoiding all unnecessary examina-\\ntions, till the length of tlie pains and their close sequence give evidence\\nthat the time for liis professional aid is approaching.\\nWhen that time has arrived, the woman is to be put to bed, placed\\nas before, on her left side, with her knees drawn closely up to the\\nstomach; the side of the sheet and the quilt should be pinned together\\nin several places, so that the hand can be instantl}^ passed beneath the\\nclotlioa when tlie.surgeon, seated in a chair, with his back to the foot\\nof the bed, places himself in readiness for his duty. As the womb\\ncontracts with the pain, it forces the child s head on the mouth of the\\norgan; the head, by a succession of rotary, drill-like motions, gradu-\\nlUy expanding the opening, when the membranous bag in which the\\n3hild floats in the aqua amni begins to protrude through the aperture;\\nthis is the time that great cai e is necessary on the part of the surgeon\\nlot prematurely to rupture the membranes, till both head and mem-\\njrane have answered their purpose, that of drilling open the mouth\\nif the womb; nature always effecting that object at the roper time,\\nmmediately after the breaking of the water, as the rupture of the mem-\\n.ranes is called, the womb, having now greater space, contracts with\\niouble power, and by one or two pains often forces the head clear\\n^rom tiie womb, and a considerable way into the vagina, from whence,\\nifter a temporary rest, and sometimes brief snatches of sleep by the\\npatient, the head is brought almost to the birth, the perinceum being at\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2each expulsive pain stretched like the head of a drum. This is the\\nmost critical period of the whole labor, and demands the greatest vig-\\nilance and cave on the art of the surgeon to be ready to support with\\nthe italm of his hand the perincemn, and prevent the too rapid exit of\\nthe head. The last and most severe pain is that which expels the\\nbead, after which there is a brief intermission, but not of suffering,\\ntill another contraction delivers the shoulders; the body and limbs the\\nsurgeon, by a lateral motion, removing with both his hands.\\nWith the cry of the child, the exhausted mother forgets all her\\npains, and it should be the surgeon s duty to take care that she shall\\nhave that gratification instantly, by observing that nothing gets before\\nthe child s mouth, and that by raising the clothes he affords it abun-\\ndance of air. If the cry is feeble, the mouth and nostrils are to be\\ninstantly cleansed from any mucus or froth that may clog them, and\\nthe spine rubbed vigorously with the fingers of the right hand. If the\\nchild is still mute, or partially so, a basin of warm water is to be\\nplaced in the b\u00c2\u00abd, and the infant immersed up to the throat in the bath\\nthus provided, and those means adopted for suspended animation\\ndescribed under Advice to Mothers.\\nAfter the child has cried freely for a few minutes, the navel cord\\nis to be tied by a ligature about an inch and a half from the body, by\\nmeans of the strings Avhich, before the ru[)ture of the membranes, the\\nsurgeon should have placed in readiness, and which are made by\\ndoubling two half yards of the Unbleached thread, and knotting eacli\\ntogether, so as to make two strings of a quarter of a yard long. (See\\nAdvice to Mothers. Having tied the cord next the child, he should\\nthen place the other ligature about two inches above the first, and\\nwith the scissors divide the cord near the fi.rst, or between the two", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0303.jp2"}, "304": {"fulltext": "99^ \u00e2\u0096\u00a0Af pendix to Medical Department.\\nknots; the child is then to be loosely folded in a blanket, and placed\\nnear the mother till the labor is completed. If, after waiting for ten\\nminutes, there should be no succeeding pain, the surgeon should lay\\nhis hand on the abdomen, and, grasping the loose integuments, employ\\nboth friction and pressure, but gently, to cause tlie contraction of the\\nwomb, that the after-birth may be expelled. Should this not succeed\\nin inducing a pain, the hand should be dipped in cold water, and again\\napplied to the abdomen. If after fifteen minutes from the birth tlie\\nplacenta is not expelled, the cut cord is to be taken in the left hand,\\nand the right, guided by the cord, is to be passed gently upward, and,\\nwith tenderness and care, the after-birth, finally encompassed by the\\nhand, is to be brought away. As soon as this is effected, and the womb\\nhas contracted, a broad binder, girth, or bandage, about eighteen\\ninches wide, is to be passed smoothly around the woman s body, and\\ntied or pinned in several places, tightly over the abdomen. A warm\\nnapkin is next to be applied, the patient well covered with extra\\nclothes, a draught with the sixth of a grain of morphia, or 25 drops of\\nlaudanum, given, and the patient allowed to remain undisturbed for\\nat least two hours.\\nSometimes, at the commencement, it happens that the woman i\u00c2\u00bb\\ndisturbed with small, exhausting pains, that keep her occasionally fo\u00c2\u00bb\\nhours, and sometimes even for days, in a state of irritation aiwi suffei\\ning, without producing any effect upon the womb, or advancing tiit\\nlabor in the sliglitest degree in fact, only breaking up the patient\\nstrength, and rendering her tetchy and desponding. Examinatioj\\nwill discover, in all probability, tliat the mouth of the uterus is onl}\\nso far open as to admit the point of the finger; that the lips are rigid\\nextremely sensitive, and dry. An examination of the woman s facf\\nduring the progress of one of these abortive pains will show the sur\\ngeon that the womb is contracting irregularly, and in such a manner\\nthat, without closing on the child, and forcing it on the opening, thej\\nonly cause griping, crampy pains, that do no eui thly good, and merel)\\nexhaust and worry the patient. lu such a case, the duty of the sur\\ngeon is to suspend sucli fugitive or false pains, and give the woman a.\\nmuch rest as possible till the coming on of the true labor.

If, then, these should require relieving, they should be emptied\\ndirectly in all cases; and in such a condition as we have been describ-\\ning, even before giving the draught. Napkins wrung out of hot water\\nand applied to the pubic region, or a bottle of hot water, enveloped in\\nflannel, applied to the part, will generally excite the bladder to H,\\nwithout resorting to the catheter; while an enema of warm grue?\\noften quite sufficient to empty the large bowel, the rectum.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0304.jp2"}, "305": {"fulltext": "Appendix to Medical Department. 297\\nThough nature generally throws out sufficient exudation to keep\\nrt^e passages moist, when the labor is very protracted these always be-\\ncome dry and hot, and tlien require to be often and freely lubricated\\nwith larii, or some kind of a lirni pomatum, a quantity of which will\\nalways form an accompauimtnt to tlie baby-basket.\\nIn ca.^es where tlie patient is nervous, weak, and the period of even\\na natural labor would exhaust her strength, or where either convul-\\nsions or hemorrhage is to be feared, or sliould one or the other have\\nset in, it becomes the surgeon s duty to expedite the labor as much as\\npossible. To effect this purpose, he must give her the secale, or ergot\\nof rye a drug which possesses the singular property of acting, within\\nten or twenty minutes, directly on the womb, causing it to contract\\nand expel its contents. There are certain conditions, however, that\\nmust previously exist before the secale except in special cases can,\\nor ouglit to be given.

This is effected by the oiling\\nof a silk handkerchief, and passing the whole gradually up the vagina,\\n60 as to allow the formation of a clot. and the arrest of the bleeding,\\nor, as it is called at such times, the flooding.\\nIf everything goes on favorably, the patient very seldom requires\\nany medicine\u00e2\u0080\u0094 except the sedative draught\u00e2\u0080\u0094 till the fourth day, when\\na mild dose of castor oil should be given to act on the bowels; while\\nif the child has been placed at the breast from the first hour, it is sel-\\ndom in a healthy woman, when common care is taken, that anything\\nwill be required for the milk or the breasts.

By this term is understood tlie development of\\nt r o\\\\um in the uterus, or the time that elapses between the first im-\\npi^^nation of the embryo till the full term of its uterine gestation or\\ndotelopment, and its expulsion from that organ into the world to carry\\non a separate existence. The usual period assigned to this process of\\ndevelopment is nine calendar months, forty weeks, or 280 days. Few\\nwomeij, liowever, are always alike in this respect; in some cases the\\nperiod exceeding tliat term, in otliers falling short of it. There are\\nonly two diseases tliat can be mistaken for pregnancy, and those onl}\\nfor a certain length of time those of dropsy of the abdomen (^ascites),\\nand ovarian drop.sy; from both it may, however, be distinguished by\\nthe absence of the round tumor felt after the fourth month in preg-\\nnancy, by the swelling being more diffuse in dropsy, and the corres-\\nponding emaciation of the body; and by the absence of the morning\\nsickness, the general filling out of the body, and the enlargement of\\nthe breasts in pregnane} and finally by the unchangea state of the\\nnipples, ai.d the absence of all motion of the child in the others. The\\nstethoscope, however, will in both cases soon put the fact beyond dis-\\npute.\\nThe indications or signs of pregnancy are divided into the general\\nand particular, or the constitutional and local. The most important of\\nthe general \u00c2\u00bbigns are the cessation of the ciitaraenia, the morning sick-\\nnesses commencing after the fifth or sixth week, and terminating\\nabout the end of the fourth month; heartburn, tlatulence, and painful\\ndistension of the abdomen toward evening, demanding the loosening\\nof strings and laces; and indigestion and fastidious appetite, irritabil-\\nity of temper, longings, and fanciful desires. The particular or local\\nsigns are enlargement of the womb, presenting a round, firm appear-\\nance, easily felt iibove the pubes between the third and fourth months;\\na corresponding distension of the abdomen enlarged and knotty feel\\nof tlie breasts after the tenth or twelfth week, with an itcJiing sensa-\\ntion felt in the glands; the nipples at the same time become more\\nerectile, and stand forward, their pores being enlarged and tlie oi-gans\\nthemselves tender and irritable; the aureola or circle surrounding\\nthem becomes darker and broader, while the countenance assumes for\\na time a careworn appearance, the mouth and eyes are enlarged, the\\nnostrils pinched, and the nose sharp; and lastly, quickening, or the\\nfirst motion of the child felt by the mother, an event that takes place\\nabout the fourth monih.\\nThe complaints or ailments of ])regiuincy are acidity of the stom-\\nach, beartltuin, fiatulence, and constipation of the bowels (all of these\\nmore or less the result of pressure) faintings, or slight attacks of hys-\\nteria a varicose condition of the veins of the legs; and piles, from\\npressure on the abdominal vessels; and towaids the end of the preg-\\nnancy, frequent cramps of the muscles of tlie legs and thighs. From\\nthe highly sensitive state of the nervous system in all women durinig\\npregnancy, and the remsirkably susceptible condition of their minds\\nand bodies, pregnant women should avoid all exciting scenes, and be\\ncarefully guarded from lh\u00c2\u00bbj witnessing or hearing of any object of dis-\\ngust or repulsion. They should at the same time avoid all risk of in-\\nfection, for though they may escape the disease of which it may be the\\nemanation, the child may be seriously affected by it in the womb, and\\non its birth exhibit all the symptoms.

See\\nWomb.\\nPREMATURE BIRTH OR LABOR.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 After the seventh month,\\nthe womb is very easily excited to put on its expulsive action from\\nvery trivial causes, and from this reason great care should be taken by\\nthe female to avoid any sudden jar to the system, or any strong emo-\\ntion to the mind. The stepping from a single step in coming down\\nstairs, the inconsiderate vivacity of young wives in jumping from a\\nciiair, or lifting some heavy piece of furniture, even the turning of a\\nbed, will in many instances bring on a premature labor, and thus all\\nthe previous care and attention is thrown away, and the life of both\\ninfant and mother jeopardized by a premature birth, for in such cases\\nthere is frequently very serious hemorrhage. Another evil attending\\nthis kind of labor is, that if it happens with a first child, tiiere is a\\ngreat probability that such a misfortune may occur at the same time in\\ntiie next pregnancy, without any accident to cause it.\\nA premature birth is a labor between the seventh and ninth\\nmonth, or at any time during the last seven or eight weeks of the\\npregnancy. In cases of a malformation of the pelvis, or pelvis and\\nspine, but particularly where the inner margin of the pelvis is unnat-\\nurally small or narrow too confined, in fact, to permit the passage of\\ntlie fetal head it becomes the duty of the surgeon, who has previously\\nsatisfied himself on this point, to produce premature laboi-, so that the\\nhead, before becoming fully developed, may pass through the pelvis,\\nand, whether dead or alive, the fetus be expelled, and the womb re-\\nlieved of its burden.\\nWOMB, TME.\u00e2\u0080\u0094C Uterus.) If we regard this organ according to\\nthe functions it performs in the animal economy, we must consider it\\nas the most important of all the structures in the female body. In\\nshape the womb is of a pyramidal form, or like a flattened pear, which,\\nboth in size and figure, it very much resembles, being, in its normal\\nstate, between three and four inches in length, and two and a half \\\\n\\nbreadth at its upper portion, and weighing from half an ounce to two\\nounces.\\nThe womb lies in front of the abdominal viscera, covered by the\\nperitoneum, or investing membrane of the cavity, and is retained in il.s\\nplace by elastic bands, called the round ligaments, the other extremi-\\nties of which pass out of the abdomen tlirough the anterior openings in\\nthe pelvis, and terminate in the fascia covering t)ie inner side of the\\nthigh. From the broad or upper portion of the womb depend on\\neither side a long, hollow passage, called the fdUopian iuhe, tl ^nd of\\neach tube being rather deeply notched or scalloped, and oaJle^ by", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0310.jp2"}, "311": {"fulltext": "Appendix to Medical Department. 303\\nanatomists Va^ fiiribriaied extiemity. By means of the elastic bands of\\nthe broad and other ligaments, the wonab i.s allowed to float with per-\\nfect freedom in the abdomen, its lower end or apex being attached to\\nthe vagina by what is called the neck or cerwx of the womb, so that the\\nactual mouth of the organ, the os uteri, or, as it is sometimes denomi-\\nnated, the OS tincce, projects into the vagina.\\nThe womb is a partly membranous and partly muscular bag, hav-\\ning an opening on either side at its upper portion, leading into thei\\nfalli)pian tubes, and another at the apex or mouth, where it terminates\\nin the vagina. The womb is supplied with glands, blood-vessels, and\\nlymphatics, and a perfect net-work or plexus of nerves; indeed, in\\nrespect of nerves, the uterus is more abundantly supplied than any\\nother organ of the body. In the unimpregnated state, and at the age\\nof puberty, it only weighs about three or four ounces, while during the\\nlast month of pregnancy its weight is between three and four pounds;\\nthe vessels, also, which in the former condition are extremely small, be-\\ncome, when impregnated, large and distended, like main trunks. Di-\\nrectly conception takes place, the womb begins to enlarge, the placenta\\nIs formed, the embryo falls from one or other of the fallopian tubes,\\nand becomes attached by what is afterwards called the funis, or navel-\\n.tring, to the center of the placenta, the organ increasing in size and\\nreight till within a few days of the labor; as soon as that process\\ntccurs, it immediately contracts, and in a few days recovers its natural\\nKze. The womb performs three distinct functions, those of menstrua-\\nlion, conception, and parturition, or the expulsion of the foetus or\\nchild. About the fourth month of pregnancy the womb rises out of\\nthe pelvis into the abdomen, where it attains its fullest dimensions, and\\nremains till within a day or two of labor, when the abdominal tumor,\\niiS the gravid uterus is called, subsides again into the pelvis.\\nWomb\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Diseases of the.

The French practice of applying from\\ntwelve to eighteen leeches to the pudenda, periuaeum, and internal\\nl art3of the vagina, lias of late years obtained great favor in this\\ncountry among medical men, and when they can induce their patients\\nto submit to their employment; there can be no question to the sound\\nprinciple of the practice.

The period when this\\nnatural secretion decermines is the most important and critical in the\\nlife of a woman. The number of females who suffer any constitu-\\ntional disturbance when the catamenia commences is few indeed com-\\npared with those who exijerience inconvenience and suffering at its-\\ncessation as the coming on of tliis secretion is an evidence of tht\\nhealthy state of the womb to perform the great function of reproduc\\ntive life, so its decline shows that it has ceased to be capable of per-\\nforming that important duty.

Great irregu-\\nlarity takes place in the periodic discharge for some time before the\\nfinal cessation occurs, the female usually experiencing sudden flusheg\\nof lieat, irritability of the skin, a sense of fulness in the head, with\\nheadache and other evidences of constitutional disturbance this is the\\ntime when, if there are any functional or organic diseases existing,\\nthey are likely to be increased or rendered incurable and when women\\nof robust healtli are attacked with bad legs, and become debilitated,\\nwhile others, again, rally from constitutional weakness, and enjoy\\nbetter health for the remainder of their lives. The time is particularly\\ncritical to those females who have any swellings or tumors on the\\nbreast, or any disease of the uterus or of its appendages, as cancerous\\ndegenerations are particularly liable to follow or accompany this\\nchange of life. With the majority of women, however, the cessation\\nof the catamenia is a period of benefit, the body tills out, the mind\\nbecomes more tranquil, and the spirits, with the bodily strength, rise\\nin due proportion. Some persons consider a long course of medicines\\nto be imperatively called for at this period, but such is by no means\\ngenerally necessary. Attention to the state of the bowels by occasional\\ndoses of rhubarb and colocynth pills, or such as the following, witn a\\nwarm bath; care in keeping the skin in a soft and healthy state, and\\nguarding the feet from cold and wet, are all the remedies or precau-\\ntions, as a general rule, that are called for.\\nAperient Pills for Females.

Of these maternal\\nduties we shall have more to say when we come to the subject appe\\ntaining to Mothers; at present we have to do with childhood.\\nAll children, from Wieir extremely delicate organization, are mon\\nsuscejjtible of changes of heat and cold than adults, and at the saiir\\ntime are much sooner influenced by medicine, and more easily depress\\ned, than the fully matured; but on the other hand, they rally niucl\\nquicker from all depressing influences. On account of these facts\\nchildren should always be well and amply clothed not according to tlif\\nvanity or caprice of their parents (who, from the idea that plenty of\\nair admitted to the emaciated limbs of their children is conducive to\\ntheir growth, dress them like young Highlanders in the depth of\\nwinter), but according to the severity or mildness of the season, in\\nbefitting apparel. Again, all strong or drastic drugs should be witii-\\nheld from children, such as elaterium, Croton oil, Epsom salts, garii-\\nboge, and, in fact, all violent purgative medicines. Another fact,\\nconnected with this subject is, that nearly all the affections of childhood\\ntake their origin from, or are dependent on, some mischief in tiie\\nstomach or bowels; this truth must be familiar to all mothers, who\\ncannot fail to have noticed the almost magical improvement which will\\ntake place in a young child from the operation of a simple aperit-nt\\npowder, when, an hour before, tlie sj^mptoms threatened most serious\\nconsequences.

But the spots soon run into one another\\nand form red streaks, giving to the skin an inflammatory appearance,\\nand produce a perceptible swelling on the face.

A disease almost peculiar to childhood, depending\\nupon tlie want of a due proportion of the mineral salts in the blood,\\nin consequence of whicli impoverished state the bones in a growing\\nchild are deprived of their proper amount of earthy ingredients, be-\\ncoming consequently soft and pliable, instead of being naturally firm\\nand resistant.\\nThough properly a constitutional disease, rickets is regarded as\\na local evil, simply because its effects are chiefly seeu in the bones of\\nthe legs or arras. We have explained, under the head of Bone,\\nand elsewhere, that if a bone is immersed for a few days in a mixture\\nof muriatic acid and water, all tlie earthy salts will be extracted from\\nits structure, and a substance like gutta-percha, of the exact shape of\\nthe bone, only capable of being bent, doubled up, or extended, like\\nIndian rubber, will remain. Such a condition, more or less supple,\\naccording to the amount of earthy matter contained in the cells of the\\norgan, is the state of the bones in rickets, wiiich, being deprived of\\ntheir resistant properties, become unable to bear the weight and pres-\\nsure of the body, give way, and are easilj bent, twisted, or deformed.\\nThe CAUSES of rickets, though generally attributed to bad nui s-\\ning, bad food, imperfect ventilation, and want of cleanliness, must be\\nlooked for in the constitution of the parents or that of the child,\\nshowing a want of those earthy particles or mineral salts which, under\\nthe head of Food, we have shown are so necessary to the health\\nand stamina of the body. Defective assimilation of food is the pro-\\nfessional terra given as an explanation of the cause of this disease; the\\nraeaning of which is, that there is a deficiency of phosphate of lirae,\\neither in the food taken or in the system.\\nThe SYMPTOMS of rickets are more passive than positive, and show\\nthemselves ratlier by their local than by their constitutional characters.\\nThe general efl ects, however, are a softness and flaccidity of tne mus-\\ncles of the body a sallow, anxious countenance a distended or turaid\\nstate of the abdoraen, with turbid state of the urine, and though the\\nappetite is good, the child gradually loses flesh and strength. Tlio\\nteething process is slow and imperfect, and the teeth, when formed,\\nquickly decay, become loose, or fall out; tlie epiphyses, or extremitiea\\nof the long bones, become spongy and swollen, the disease first show-\\ning itself at the wrists and ankles; and as the mischief advances, the\\nlong bones gradually give way, and bend under the weight of the\\nbody, and become twisted, and often most grotesquely deformed, hy\\nthe action of the muscles, which, straining in contrary directions,\\nproduce that malformation which is generally understood by the name\\nof rickets. In ordinary cases the legs only are deformed bent out or\\ninwards, or twisted in many forms; but in severe cases the bones of\\nthe spine also become softened, the vertebrae of the shoidders (dorsal)\\nare displaced, producing a hump, while the breast-bone is thrown for-\\nward, forming what is called a pigeon-breast. The mental faculties\\ndo not generally suffer with the physical debility, but often shine out\\nwith unusual precocity and vigor.\\nTreatment. As the cause of this disease is an absence of the\\nmineral salts, the natural remedy for the case would seem to be to give\\nthe system those salts of which it stands in need, namely, the phos-\\nphates of lime and soda.

The center of the body in a full grown nine-months\\nchild, and, in tlie fetus, the opening through which the navel string\\npasses from tlie liver of the child to the placenta or after-birth of the\\nmother.

After the birth of the child, and the new cir-\\nculation has been established in the infant, the navel-cord is tied about\\ntwo inches from the body, and then divided; in the course of a week\\njr fortnight the fragment left sloughs or drops off, leaving, when it has\\nbeen properly attended to. that closed but indented cavity know as\\nshe navel.\\nPUBERTY.

About an hour after, the first dose of the ammonia is to\\nbe given, and repeated every three or four hours, as long as the\\ndisorder takes the favorable course.

It is very seldom that this defect arises from muscular\\ndeficiency or natural malformation; the cause, in nine out of ten cases,\\ndepending on the lining membrane, where it forms a fold under the\\ntongue, and wiiich, being attached almost to tlie tip of the organ, thus\\nbinds it down by the bridle, as it is called, or the fraenum, preventing\\nall but the most limited motion. In such a case the treatment is\\nvery simple, and the cure instantaneous; it consists in merely passing\\nthe limb of a sharp-pointed pair of scissors through the thin skin;\\nbelow the tip of the tongue, as near the external margin as possible,\\nand nipping it apart. To do this simple operation safely and properly\\nthe nurse should iiold the child on her lap, and the surgeon, seated\\nbefore her, should place the back of the infant s head between his\\nknees, and, making the child cry, watch his opportunity to transfix the\\nmucous membrane, and cut the mere thread of membrane outwards,\\nand tiien place tiie child to the breast, its steady dra wining of the nipple\\nbeing the best evidence of the success of the operation. As the renal\\nArtery and vein are in close proximity, the operator must be careful\\niluit he does not transfix or wound either.

Young children, whilst cutting their first set of\\neeth, often suffer severe constitutional disturbance.

The remedy, or rather the safe-\\ntjuiird against these frightful consequences, is trifling and safe, and\\nalmost certain, and consists merely in lancing the gum covering the\\nW)0th which is making its way through. When teething is about it\\n(uay be known by the spittle constantly drivelling from the mouth and\\nvvetting the frock. The child has its fingers often in its mouth, and\\noites liard any substance it can get hold of. If the gums be carefully\\nlooked at, the part where the tooth is pressing up is swollen and redder\\nthan usual; and if the finger be pressed on it the child shrinks and\\ncries, showing that ihe gum is tender. Wlien these symptoms occur,\\nthe gnm sliould be lanced, and sometimes the tooth comes through the\\nnext day, if near the surface; but if not so far advanced the cut heals\\nand a scar forms, wliich is thought by some objectionable, as rendering\\nthe passage of the tooth more difficult. This, however, is untrue, for\\nthe scar wiU give way much more easily than the uncut gum. If the\\ntooth do not come through after two or three days, the lancing may be\\nrei)cated; and this is more especially needed if the child be very\\nfractious, and seems in much pain. Lancing the gums is further\\nadvantageous, because it empties the intlamed part of its blood, and so\\nrelieves the pain and inflammation. The relief children experience in\\nthe course of two or three iiours from the operation is often very\\nremarkable, as they almost immediately become lively and cheerful.\\nVAC INATION.

A couple of\\nsuperficial scratches should be made by a lancet in the arm, about half\\nan inch apart; the surgeon should then load the point of his lancel\\nwith the fluid lymph, and insert it in each of the abrasions 01\\nscratches, exciting the vessels to absorb the lymph by sl:;^htly scraping\\nthe part with the point of the lancet, care being taken not to induce\\nbleeding a mere redness, excited by scraping away the scarf-skin, is\\nall that is necessary. On the second day the vaccinated pai ts appear\\nred, as if about to fester; on the fourth day the places have become\\ndefined spots; and by the end of the fifth day assume the appearance\\nof vesicles, surrounded by a bright pink areola; about the eigth day\\nthe vesicles attain their maturity, being circular in form, and about an\\ninch in diameter, with a fiat top, and a slight depression in the centei\\nabout the ninth day a slight degree of fever takes place, but only lasts\\nfor a few hours (this febrile action is similar to the secondary fever of\\nsmall-pox). The pustule should be opened upon the ninth day, and\\nthe lymph, if not required for immediate use, collected on small,\\nsquai-e pieces of glass, or taken up on small slips of bone called\\npoints. A little magnesia and rhubarb, or an aperient powder, sliould\\nbe given when the pustule is opened, and if the arm is red and in\\nflanied, a warm poultice applied for a few hours will relieve it. Il\\ngeneral it is the twenty-first day before the pustule completely desqua\\nmutes and the areola disappears, leaving a small depression or pit on\\nthe skin, which usually remains for life. A vesicle generally appears\\nabove each place where tiie vaccine lymph has been inserted, which\\nfiom the thiz d to the fifth days has a clear, pearly appearance, becom-\\ning opaque as the contents advance to maturity. The pustule should\\nalways be opened by the ninth day and before suppuration takes place.\\nSome persons vaccinate on both arms, making two or three punctures\\non each; this is unnecessary, two places on one arm being sufficient,\\nand these must be so far apart that there can be no fear of their run-\\nning together. In some constitutions the efficacy of the lymph lasts\\nfor life, in others the protective influence passes off in a few years; on\\nthis account it has been deemed necessary to repeat the vaccination at\\nthe age of puberty. To arrest the spread of that dreadful pest, small-\\npox, the Government has established many sanitary and legislative\\nenactments. When vaccination is performed from dry lymph collected\\non the glasses or bone points, the virus must be made moist by a droji\\nof warm water before using.\\nANODYNE FOMEKTATIO^T.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Take of white poppj-head*, J ozs.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0336.jp2"}, "337": {"fulltext": "Appendix to Medical Department. 329\\n\u00c2\u00abitJe- rtowers, \\\\i oz.; water, 3 pts.

Now rub the arm from the wrist toward the elbow, place\\nthe left thumb upon the vein, and hold the lancet as you would a pen,\\nand nearly at right angles to the vein, taking care to prevent its going\\nin too far, by keeping the thumb near to the point, and resting the\\nhand upon the little finger. Now place the point of the lancet on the\\nvein, push it suddenly inwards, depress the elbow, and raise the hand\\nupward and outward, so as to cut obliquely across the vein. When suf-\\nficient blood is drawn off, which is known by feeling the pulse at the\\nivrist, and near the thumb, bandage the arm. If the pulse feels like a\\npiece of cord, more blood should be taken away; but if it is soft, and\\ncan be easily pressed, the bleeding should be stopped. When you\\nbandage the arm, place a piece of lint over the opening made by the\\nlancet, and pass a bandage lightly but firmly around the arm, so as to\\ncross it over the bend of the elbow, in the form of a figure 8.\\nDRY CUPPINGf. This is performed by throwing a piece of paca*-\\ndipped into spirit of wine, and ignited, into a wine-glass, and placmg\\nit over the part, such as the neck, temples, etc. It thus draws the flesh\\ninto the glass, and causes a determination of blood to the part, which\\nis useful in headache, and many other complaints. This is an excel-\\nlent method of extracting the poison from wounds made by adders,\\nmad dogs, etc.\\nOrdinary cupping is performed the same as dry cupping, with this\\nexception, that the part is scarified or scratched with a lancet so as to\\ncause the blood to flow; then the glass is placed over it again, with\\nthe lighted paper in it, and when sufl3cient blood has been taken away,\\nthen the parts are sponged, and a piece of sticking plaster applied\\ner them.\\nBLACK SALTE, or HEALING SALVE.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Olive oil, 1 pt. com-\\nmon resin, oz. bees-wax, oz.

I leave behind me, said a celebrated physician, on his death-\\nbed, Hwo great physicians, diet and waters\\nWater is the great dissolvent in nature. If the primary ducts be\\nobstructed, water dilutes, attenuates, divides, and scatters the impuri-\\nties contained in them and these are afterwards ejected by the stomach\\nand intestines. If disease be settled in the blood, and the morbific\\nmatter deposited in the different organs of the animal economy, nothing\\nis so effectual as water to dilute the thickened and blunt the acute to\\nrevivify that which languishes, extinguish that which burns, and to\\nopen again all the passages by which injurious humors can escape.\\nCold water creates a sudorific process causing perspiration, without\\nwearying the organic system. It is supported by copious draughts of\\ncold water, which quench the thirst, moisten and refresh the blood,\\nreplace the lost juices, and maintain the tone of the muscles.\\nThe drinking of cold water, and its application to the body by-\\nvarious processes, convey the morbid humors to the skin, whence they\\nexude in eruptions, boils, and abscesses. These eruptions, constituting\\nthe crisis of the complaint, are the certain sign of a perfect cure.\\nAfter the unwholesome juices are driven out and replaced by whole-\\nsome ones, then follow the restoration of the digestive powers, and the\\nfreeing of all the organs by the dissolving of all obstructions; the vital\\nand animal functions are re-established in their former harmony; and\\nthus nothing then remains but health, a treasure which can only be\\npreserved b} continuing the system by which it has been obtained.\\nSome will ask, Is the cold water treatment applicable to all de-\\nscriptions of disease? We answer, that its application must be of ad-\\nvantage in the large number of acute and chronic diseases. There are\\ncases, however, wherein some essential organ having become detective,\\nart can do no more than prolong existence and alleviate suffering.\\nAmong such exceptions are consumption, organic diseases ofthe heart,\\nof the lungs, of the large vessels, dropsy, etc. Yet all these cases, and\\nothers deemed incurable, by the moderate judicious use of some of the\\ncold water applications, will insure relief and palliation of pain.\\nAgain will the cold water treatment produce a radical cure What\\nis to be understood by the word radical? If it means the final extir-\\npation from the system the cause of disease, and the relief of the patient\\nirom pain, then, the cure by the cold water method is radical! But if\\nto be radical, a cure is sought which is to prevent a return of the dis-\\nease, in cases of parties exposing themselves to the same influences\\nwhich originated the disease, then neither this nor any other means of\\ntreatment will produce such an eft ect.\\nAs to danger from the cold water treatment there can be no active\\npaude of treatment more innocent, with reference to its present or", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0347.jp2"}, "348": {"fulltext": "j4 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nfuture eifects, if applied with judgment; but if not, it may be followed\\nby very dangerous consequences.\\nTlie water used must be cold and fresh, and soft that is, it must\\nhave the quality of dissolving, and therefore must be cold, and without\\nany mineral i:)roperties. To prove its fitness, linen cloth washed in it\\nmust become white, and vegetables dressed in it must be tender.\\nThe Sweating Process is the most disagreeable part of the treat-\\nment; but it is the most important, and the benefits derived from it\\ncomjiensate for the unpleasantness of its duration.\\nTlie patient is enclosed, naked, in a large coarse blanket, the legs\\nextended, and the arms kept close to the body; tlie blanket is then\\nwound round it, as tight as possible, tui ning it well under at the feet;\\nover this is placed, and well tucked in a small feather bed, sometimes\\ntwo; and then a sheet and a counterpane are spread over all; thus the\\npatient resembles a mummy. Sometimes, when perspiration is diffi-\\ncult, the head, except the face, is covered. Perspiration begins in\\nabout 45 minutes, and then the irritation goes off The patient should\\nlie perspiring at least one hour. The windows in the room muet be\\nopened, and a glass of cold water given every half hour, to refresh the\\nl^atient, *iul promote perspiration. If there is headache, a damp cloth\\nmay be wrapped lound the head. This process does not weaken the\\npatient; he loses neither weight nor strength, but improves in persona)\\nappearance, even under several processes.\\nThe neeesi^ary duration of the process may be known by profuse\\nperspiration on the patient s face. The person should be washed well\\nin warm or tepid water. The sweating process must be used with great\\ncare, and the constitution of the patient must he considered. M. Pries-\\nsnitz, of Silesia, practiced and recommended the cold bath immediately\\nafterwaids. Strange as it may appear to many, says Dr. Graham,\\nI consider tlie determination towards tlie skin, induced by the per-\\nspiring blankets, to be a great advantage, prior to the use of the cold\\nbath; because the internal organs are thereby relieved, and the shock\\nhas quite a different effect on them from what it would have if they\\nwere not first soothed, and the skin relieved.\\nBy this process internal diseases are often brought to the surface,\\nand pass away the nervous system is wonaerfuUy strengthened and\\nfikin diseases are annihilated. The sweating contains moibid matter.\\nM. Priessnitz justly remarks\\nCovered and swaddled with clothes, in our darkness we do net\\nsee that if the corrupt and dirty matter from daily insensible i^erspiia-\\ntion, or from sensible sweating, is not carefully cleared from the skin\\nby washing, it must increase and attach itself to the skin, close the\\npores, and obstruct the excretion so indispensable to health, and must\\ninevitably, from such evil tendency, at last produce disease. We relax\\nand debilitate the skin, by dressing so warmly during the day, ant\\nsleeping on feather beds at night, or by washing ourselves with warm\\nwater.\\nThe Cold Bath. Do not bathe soon after walking. During the\\nbathing immerse the head several times in cold water. Keep in motion\\nduring the time. Priessnitz advises his patients to avoid the second\\nsensation of cold, which is a sort of fever, by leaving the bath before\\nit is felt, that they maj^ avoid a too powerful re-action provoked by a\\ngreat subtraction of heat. Take a glass or two of water immediately\\nafter the bath.\\nThe DorcHK Bath is very efficacious in extracting the morbid\\nhumors from all the parts they have seized upon for years.

In des-\\nperate cases, says a medical writer, we have known this done fifty\\ntimes in little more than 24 hours, and perseverance in this treatment\\nends infallibly in success.\\nWhen the fever has abated, the patient is placed in*a bath of tepid\\nwater (about 64\u00c2\u00b0 Fahrenheit,) for a quarter of an hour; during which\\ntime two persons must rub him briskly with the hand, water being\\ntaken W]} from the bath occ;i ionally, and poured over his head and\\nshoulders. The wet sheet, (r bandage, is not unpleasant long; the\\npatient gets warm almost directly but we must not regard inconven-\\nience or unpleasantness for a cure. Aie drugs, blisters, and leeches\\npleasant? But the application of cold water, in any way, relieves the\\nskin, excites it, and disencumbers it of obstructions which close the\\norifices of the pores, a reaction of the whole system ensues, a heat be-\\ning created on the surface, 40 or 50 degrees above the usual tempera-\\nture of the body. The body imbibes a portion of the watei, which in\\nconjunction with the heat newly caused, softens and dissolves the\\nmorbid humors, and assists in their exudation by the pores of the skin.\\nAblutions. Where persons are very w eak, washing and rubbing\\nthe body must be done, in place of tlie bath or douche; and water may\\nbe poured over the heads of feverish patients, and rubbed on the\\nshoulders and parts aftected If the patient be too weak to allow of\\nthis rubbing, a wet sheet is thrown over hin c:i which the friction is\\napplied. This is of great advantage in weak cases and young children.\\nThe ablutions are an essential, agreeable, and valuable portion of the\\ncold water system. In trilling complaints, gout in its infancy, nervous\\nirritability, or in weakness in the skin, ablutions, accompanied by\\ndrinking abundantlj cold water are verj often sulficient to establish\\nhealth. Ablutions should be performed in the morning immediately\\non getting out of bed, before the body has become chilled, and the\\npatient must afterwards take ejcercise in the open air.

To use the wet sheet as an ablution, the patient\\nstands up, and the servant Uings it over his head and body; rub the\\nbody well for five minutes, then take off the wet sheet, and put on adry\\none. This is a certain relief for fatigue and over-exertion.\\nCold Water Dkinkiwg.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The best time both for drinking cold\\nwiter and exercise is befoie breakfast. Then they both produce their\\n6\u00c2\u00ab\u00c2\u00ab effects; but the only general rule prescribea by Priessnitz is to\\ndrink cold water as much, and at all times, as it can be done without\\ninconvenience. Water may be drank after breakfast, but the stomach\\nmust not be over-charged. At dinner also a few glasses may be taken\\nto moisten the food; after that the stomach must be left to itself; and\\nafter the hipse of a few hours, we may go on drinking cold water u\u00c2\u00bbtil\\nBupper time. It may be taken after supper, but not so as to disturb\\nthe rest. Exercise, which is in itself a part of the curative process, ex-\\ncites the beneficial actio.u of the water, and promotes the cure. The\\nwater should be fresh from the spring, -aud as cold as possible. Stoppers\\nmust be kept in the bottles and decanters which hold it, as the water\\n\\\\hen will preserve its coldness and freshness much longer.\\nAdvice. Immediately on rising in the morning, rinse the mouth,\\n\u00c2\u00bbnd wash the teeth with cold water, then drink two or three glasses of\\nspring water: after this, the whole body, especially the head, must be\\n;vashed. If a thickness in the throat be felt, gargle well, and rub the\\nN utside of the throat three or four times a day, with a cold wet hand;\\nkeep the water in the mouth until it becomes warm, then repeat it.\\nThis method is recommended for clearing and strengthening the throat.\\nDaKDELION.

The fact was\\ndiscovered by accident. Dr. Desmnrtis had seA eral cancerous patients\\nunder his care, all presenting large ulcei ous sores, emitting a most\\nnauseous smell. An astringent bemg considered expedient, a poma-\\ntum composed of equal parts of extract of logwood and hog s lard, was\\napplied to those sores, whereupon, to the Doctor s surprise, the feior dis-\\nappeared completely, and the emission of pus was considerably atten-\\nuated. To completg the evidenci he suspended the use of the poma-\\ntum for a few hours only, when the offensive emanations immediately\\nrecommenced, and the purulent secretion became again abundant.\\nLogwood causes gangrene to disappear as if by enchantment, especially\\nthat of hospitals. He has also found it efficacious in preventing or\\nstopping erysipelas, which often occurs after amputation, or the inflic-\\ntion of other wounds, and is a source of constant anxiety to the sur-\\ngeon. It entirely removes the putridity of ulcerous cancers, emitting\\ncharacteristic effluvia, smd in short, of the most fetid sores. This sub-\\nstance also possesses the advantage of being capable of mixture with\\nhoemostatic medicines, (designed to arrest spitting of blood, etc.,) such\\nas ergotine, perchloride of iron, persulphate of iron, etc. it may also\\nbe used as powder and a lotion.

Poultices are of five kinds, the\\nsimple warm emollient, the sedative, the stimulating, the blistering,\\nand the corrective or antiseptic poultice.\\nWarm Emollieut Poultices.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The great object desired in all the\\npoultices belonging to this class is warmth, steadily and evenly applied;\\nand as there is peally no virtue in any article used for the purpose, that\\nsubstance or material makes the hed poultice which will maintain, for\\ntlie longest period, heat on the part; the sovereign quality of all these\\npoultices residing solely in the warmth applied. Of all articles suited\\nfor an emollient poultice, the apongio-pUine is the best. This material,\\nmade of shreds of sponge and felt woven together on a ground of\\nIndian rubber, can be procured in pieces of any length or size, and\\nmeiely requires its pile or loose surface to be soal^ in hot water,\\nsqueezed to discharge the excess of moisture, and applied face down-\\nward on the part, the Impervious nature of the upper surface prevent-\\ning the escape of the heat by evaporation. A piece of oiled skin\\napplied over all will still further secure the heat. Evaporation may\\nbe entirely prevented by previously cutting the pile away from the\\nedges in such a manner, that, when Secured, the India rubber coating\\nshall overlap and shut in the part covered.\\nBread and Water. This kind of poultice is too often made in a\\nmanner at variance with all the known laws of evaporation, either by\\npouring hot water on crumbs of bread, or on pieces of bread, and\\ntlien breaking them down with a spoon or a fork. The proper method\\nof making such a poultice is to cut a slice of bread from a loaf, abou\\nhalf an inch thick, remove all the crust and hard edges without crack-\\ning the crumb, which, with a sharp knife, should be squared to the\\nsize required. The piece is next to be placed in the middle of a slip of\\nmuslin laid in a soup plate, then carefully covered with hot water, the\\nrest of the muslin laid over the top, and another plate placed over all\\nto keep in the heat for the space of two or three minutes, till every\\npart of the bread has become charged or swollen by the water, which\\nis to be poured off by taking up the two plates together, when a small\\n1 mount of pressure will expel the excess of water without breaking\\nthe poultice, which is then to be carefully lifted by the ends of the\\nmuslin which encloses it, and laid on the part, a piece of oiled skin\\nand a bandage being added to keep in the heat and secure it in its\\nplace.\\nLiuseed Meal. This substance, from the quantity of gum and oil\\nit contains, makes an excellently soft and agreeable poultice, the for-\\nmer serving to retain the heat a long time, and the latter to keep the\\nsui-face soft. As much meal as is requisite is to be put in a basin, a\\nhole made in the centre with a spoon, and as much hot water as may\\nbe deemed necessary poured at once into it the whole is then to be\\nquickly and carefully stirred till a smooth and intimately mixed mass\\nof the consistency of porridge is obtained. Should too little water be\\nused, the mass will be hard and lumpy, and cause much delay and\\ntrouble in the amalgamation of the water subsequently added, whereas\\nif the quantity is rightly guessed at first, the poultice will be of one\\nuniform consistency. It is then to be spread about an inch thick on\\nlinen or flannel, its surface greased with a little lard, and laid on the\\npart.\\nFlour and Oatmeal Poaltices are made in the same way, only they\\nrequire to be more largely greased than the linseed meal, to prevent\\ntheir stickiiig to the skin when removed.\\nN.

The object for which poultices of this class\\nare chiefly used is to subdue pain of a local character, as in sprains,\\nbruises, contusions, or accidents generally. Poultices of this nature\\nare usually made by preparing a strong decoction of camomile flowers,\\nor camomiles and poppy-heads, and then filling a small bag with cam-\\nomile flowers, and after soaking it in the hot decoction, applying it to\\nthe joint or part affected, and repeating the application as soon as it\\nhas become cold or a thick slice of bread may be enclosed in a bag,\\nand immersed in the same maimer in the hot decoction; or crumbs ot\\ntread, linseed meal, or oatmeal, may be used in tlie same way, by first\\nmakmg them into a paste. The first plan, however, is the simiilest\\nand the cleanest mode of using this kind of poultice. Hemlock and\\nmonkshood are also occasionally used for the same purpose, the lierbs\\nbeing first boiled in water, and the hot liquor absorbed by bread or\\nLinseed meal as above, and applied either in a bag or oetween folds of\\niinen. An opium poultice may be employed in the same way, by pre-\\nviously dissolving the solid opium in boiling water.\\nStimulating Poultices Are employed in case of rheumatism,\\nparalysis, lumbago, and chronic affections of the joints, their object\\nbeing to excite a healthier action in the part, and, by a species of mild\\ncounter irritation, produce a beneficial change. Sometimes they are\\nused to rouse a patient in a case of letiinrgy, and draw the blood from\\nsome internal organ. Stimulating poultices are usually made with a\\nmixture of mu-tard and flour, in proportions according to the stimu-\\nlating effect desired; thus, one table-spoon of mustard with three of\\nflour, mixed together before being wetted with hot or cold water, or\\nelse one spoon of musfard to two of flour, or equal parts, which is the\\nstrongest form in wliicli this kind of poultice is used. Sometnnes, to\\nadd to the stimuhiting properties of this poultice, a strong infusion of\\nliorseradish is employed instead of water for the purpose of mixing\\nthe mustard and flour into a paste. These poultices should be spread\\non a flannel, and where the skin is very sensitive, a piece of thin mus-\\nlin may be interposed between the poultice and the cuticle. Tiie time\\nthat a mustard poultice should be retained must depend upon the\\nstrength of the poultice itself, and the object for wliich it is employed;\\nfrom ten to forty minutes, however, may be legarded as the extreme\\npoints of duration. Carrots are occasionally used as stimuhiting poul-\\ntices to ulcerating suifaces, but tlieir elficacy is very questionable.\\nBlistering Poultices. Mustard is the only article employed for\\nthis purpose, and then the nmstard is used simply with water, and\\nwithout flour; it should be made thick, spread on flannel, have its sur-\\nface covered with fine muslin, and tlien applied to the skin. Some\\nmedical men mix euphorbium powder with the mustard, to increase its\\nblistering properties, but tliis addition is seklouf required.

It is\\ncalled Markwick s Patent Spongio-Piline. The method of using\\nthis poultice is as follows A piece of the material of the required\\nform and size is cut off, and the edges are pared or beveled off with a\\npair of scissors, so that the caoutchouc may come in contact with thf\\nsurrounding skin, in order to prevent evaporation of the fluid used:\\nfor, as it only forms the vehicle, we can employ the various poultices\\ngenerally used with much less expenditure of time and money, an(?\\nincreased cleanliness. For example: a vinegar poultice is made b\\nmoistening the fabric with distilled vinegar an alum pooltice, by using\\na strong solution of alum a charcoal poultice, by sprinkling powderec*\\ncharcoal on the moistened surface of the material a i/east poultice\\nby using warmed yeast, and moistening the fabric with hot water\\nwhich is to be well squeezed out previous to the absorption of th\u00c2\u00bb\\nyeast; a beer poultice, by employing warm porter-dregs or strong bee\\nas the fluid and a carrot poultice, by using the expressed and evap\\norated liquor of boiled carrots. The material costs about one farthinji\\na square inch, and may be obtained of the chemist. As a fomentatioi.\\nit is most invaluable, and by moistening the material with compounr^\\ncamphor liniment or hartshorn, it acts tlie same as a mustard poul\\ntice.

Somt\\ncups hold half as much more, and some table-spoons contain 6 drachms.\\nMany persons lieep a medicine-glass, which is graduated so as to shown\\nthe number of spoons it contains.\\nProcess of Making Medicines. To Powder Substances.\\nPlace the substance in the mortar, and strike it gently with direct per-\\npendicular blows of the pestle, until it separates into several pieces,\\nthen remove all but a small portion, which bruise gently at first, aiid\\nrub the pestle round and ro ind the mortar, observing that the circles\\ndescribed by the pestle slu-uld gradually decrease in diameter, and\\nthen increase again, because by this means every part of the powder\\nis subjected to the process of pulverization.

Never use acids in a marble mortar, and be sure that you do\\nMct powder galls or any other astringent substances in any but a brass\\nmortar.\\nSifting is frequently required for powdered substances, and this\\nis usually done by employing a fine sieve, or tying the powder up in a\\npiece of muslin, and striking it against the left hand over a piece of\\npaper.\\nFiltering is frequently required for the purpose of obtaining\\nclear tluids, such as infusions, eye-washes, and other medicines; and\\nit is, tuerefore, highly important to know how to perform this simple\\noperation. We must first of all make the filter paper; this is done by\\ntaking a square sheet of white blotting paper, and doubling it over, so\\nas to foini an angular cup. We next procure a piece of wire, twist it\\nInto a form to place the funnel in, to prevent it passing to far into the\\nneck of the bottle. Open out the filter paper very carefully, and hav-\\ning placed it in the funnel, moisten it with a little water. Then place\\nthe wire in the space between the funnel and the bottle, and pour the\\nliquid gently down the side of the paper, otherwise the fluid is apt to\\nburst the paper.\\nMaceration is another process that is frequently required to be\\nperformed in making up medicines, and consists simply in immersing\\nthe medicines in cola water or spirits for a certain time.\\nDigestion resembles maceration, except that the process is assist-\\ned by a gentle heat. The ingredients are placed in a flask, such as\\nsalad oil is sold in, which should be fitted with a plug of tow or wood,\\nand have a piece of wire twisted round the neck. The flask is held bj\\nmeans of the wire over the flame of a spirit lamp, or else placed in\\nsome sand warmed in an old iron saucepan over the fire, care being\\ntaken not to place moie of the flask below the sand than the portion\\noccupied by the ingredients.\\nInfusion is one of the most frequent operations required in mak-\\ning up medicines, its object being to extract the aromatic and volatile\\nprinciples of substances, that would be lost by decoction or digestion;\\nand to extract tlie soluble from the insoluble parts of bodies. Infusions\\nmay be made with cold water, in which case they are weaker, but more\\npleasant. The general method employed consists in slicing, bruising,\\nor rasping the ingredients first, then placing them in a common jug\\n(which should be as globular as possible), and pouring boiling water\\nover them; cover the jug with a cloth folded six or eight times, but if\\nthere be a lid to the jug so much the better; when the infusion has\\nstood the time directed, hold a piece o(veri/ coarse linen over the spout,\\nand pour the liquid throujrh it into another jug.\\nDecoction, or boiling, is employed to extract the mucilaginous\\nor gummjr parts of substances, their bitter, astringent, or other quali-\\nties, and is nothing uore than boiling the ingredients in a saucepan", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0381.jp2"}, "382": {"fulltext": "374 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nwith the lid slightly raised.

Persons of a p.degmatic temperament bear stim-\\nulants and purgatives better than those of a sanguine temperament,\\ntherefore the latter require smaller doses.\\nHabits. Purgatives never act so well upon persons accustomed\\nto take them as upon those who are not, therefore it is better to cliangc\\ntlie form of purgative from pill to potion, powder to draught, or aro\\nmatic to saline. Purgatives should never be given when there is aw\\nirritable state of the bowels.\\nStimulants and Narcotics never act so quickly upon persons\\naccustomed to use spirits freely as upon those who live abstemiously.\\nClimate.

For example, some persons cannot take calomel in\\nthe smallest dose without being salivated, or rhubarb without having\\nconvulsions; others cannot take squills, opium, senna, etc., and this\\npeculiarity is called the patient s idiosyncrasy, therefore, it is wrong\\nto ivsiat upon their taking these medicines.\\nForms Best Snited for Administration.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Fluids act quicker than\\nsolids, and powders sooner than pills.\\nBest Method of Preventing the Nauseous Taste of Medicines,-\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0Castor oil uuiy be taken in milk, cott ee, or spirits, such as brandy but\\nthe best method of covering tlie nauseous flavor is to put a table-bpoon\\nof strained orange juice in a wine glass, pour the castor oil into the\\ncenter of the juice, and then squeeze a few drops of the lemon juic\u00c2\u00ab\\nui)on the top of the oil.

The object for which these several\\narticles are employed is the same in each instance namely, to exclude\\nthe air from the injured part; for if the air can be effectually shutout\\nfrom the raw surface, and care is taken not to expose the tender part\\ntill the new cuticle is formed, the cure may be safely left to nature.\\nThe moment a person is called to a case of scald or burn, he should\\ncover the part with a sheet or a portion of a sheet of wadding, taking\\ncare not to break any blister that may have formed, or stay to remove\\nany burnt clothes that may adhere to the surface, but as quickly a?\\npossible envelop every part of the injury from all access of the air,\\nlaying one or two more pieces of wadding on the first, so as effectually\\nto guard the burn or scald from the irritation of the atmosphere; and\\nif the article used is wool or cotton, the same precaution, of adding\\nmore material where the surface is thinlj covered, must be adopted; a\\nlight bandage finally securing all in their places. Any of the popular\\nremedies recommended below may be employed when neither wool,\\ncotton, nor wadding are to be procured, it being always remembered\\nthat that article which will best exclude the air from a burn or scald\\nis the best, quickest, and least painful mode of treatment.

Tiie fact that the exercise is a healthful accompani-\\nment of bathing, ;ind that lives may be saved by it, even when least ex-\\npected, is a .sufficient argument for its recommendation. The art of\\nswimming is, in reality, very easy. The tirst consideration is not to\\nattempt to learn too hastily. That is to say, you must not expect to\\nsucceed In j^our ettbrts to swim, until you have become accustomed t(\\nthe water, and have overcome your repugnance to the coldness and\\nnovelty of bathing. Every attempt will fail until you have acquired\\na certain conlidence in the water, and then the difficulty will soon\\nvanish.\\nDr. Franklin s Advice to Swimmers.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The only obstacle to Im*\\nproveihent in this necessary and life-preserving art is fear and it is only by\\novercoming this timidity tiiat you can expect to become a master of the fol.\\nlowing acquirements: It is very common for novices in the art of swimmiiig\\nto malte use of corks or bladders to assist in keeping the body above water\\nsome have utterly condemned the use of them however, they may be oJ\\nservice for supporting the body while one is learning what is called the stroke,\\nor that manner of drawing in and striking out the hands and feet that la\\nnecessary to produce progressive motion. But you will be no swimmer till\\nyou can place coufldeuce in the power of the water to support you I would,\\ntherefore, advise the acquiring that confidence in the first place especially\\nas I have known several who, by a little practice, necessary for that purpose,\\nhave insensibly acquired the stroke, taught, as it were, by nature. The prac-\\ntice I mean is this clioosing a place where the water deepens gradually,\\nwalk coolly into it till it is up to your breast; then turn round vour face to\\nthe shore, and throw an egg into the water between you and the shore it\\nwill sink to the bottom, and be easily seen there if the water be clear. It\\nmust lie in the water so deep that you cannot reach to take it up but by div-\\ning for it. To encourage yourself in order to do this, refiect that your progress\\nwill be from deep to shallow water, and that at any time you may, by bring-\\ning your legs under you, and standing on the bottom, raise your head far\\nabove the water; tlien plunge under it with your eyes open, which must be\\nkept open on going under, as you cannot open your eyelids for the weight of\\nwater above you throwing yourself toward the egg, and endeavoring by the\\naction of your hands and feet against the water to get forward, till within\\nreach of it. In tliis attempt you will find that the water bouys you up\\nagainst your inclination; that It is not so easy to sink as you imagine, ana\\nthat you cannot, but by active force, get down to the egg. Thus you feel the\\npower of water to support you, and learn to confide in that power, while\\nyour endeavors to ovcoome it, and reach the egg, teach you the manner of\\nacting on the water with your feet and hands, which action Is afterwards\\nused In swimming to support your head higher above the water, or to go\\nforward through it.\\n1 would the more earnestly press you to the trial of this method, be-\\ncause I think I shall satisfy you that your body is lighter than water, and that\\nyou might float in it a long time with your mouth free for breathing, If you\\nwould put yourself Into a proper posture, and would be still, and forbear\\nstruggling yet, till you have obtained this experimental confidence in the\\nwater, I cannot depend upon your having the necessary presence of mind to\\nrecollect the posture, and the directions I gave you relating to it. The sur-\\nprise may put all out of your mind.\\nThough the legs, arms, and head of a human body, being solid parts, are\\nspecifically somewhat heavier than fresh water, as the trunk, particularly th\u00c2\u00bb\\nupper part, trom it\u00c2\u00ab hoUowueas, is so much lighter tXxaxx. water, so the", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0402.jp2"}, "403": {"fulltext": "AccUenh ana Emergencies. ;^9^\\nWhole of the body, taken all together, Is too light to sink wholly under water,\\nbut some part will remain above until the lungs become filled with water,\\nwhich happens from drawing water to them instead of air, when a person, In\\nthe frlKlit, attempts breathing wliile the mouth and nostrils are under water.\\nThe legs and arms are specifically lighter than salt water, and will be\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0upported by it, so that a human body cannot sink in salt water, though the\\nlanga were filled as above, but from the greater specific gravity of Llie head.\\nTherefore a person throwing himself on his back in salt water, ana extend-\\ning his arms, may easily lie so as to keep his mouth and nostrils free for\\nbreathing; and by a slight motion of his hand, may prevent turning, if he\\nshould perceive any tendency to it.\\nIn fresh water, if a man throws himself on his back near the snrfkce,\\nhe cannot long continue In that situation, but by proper action of his hands\\non the water; if he uses no such action, the legs and lower part of the body\\nwill gradually aink till he comes into an upright position, in which he will\\ncontinue suspended, the hollow of his breast keeping the head uppermost.\\nBut if in this erect position the head be kept upright above the shoulders,\\nB8 when we stand on the ground, the immersion will, by the weight of that\\npart of the head that is out of the water, reach above the mouth and nostrils,\\nperhaps a little above the eyes, so that a man cannot remain long suspended\\nm water with his head in that position.\\nThe body continuing suspended as before, and upright, if the head be\\nleaned quite back, so that the face look upward, all the back part of the head\\nbeing under water, and its weight consequently.

I was only obliged occasionally to halt a little in my course,\\nand resist its progress, when it appeared that by following too quickly, I low-\\nered the kite too much by doing which occasionally I made it rise again, I\\nhave never since that time practised this singular mode of swimming, and I\\nthink it not impossible to cross, in this manner, from Dover to Calais.\\nThose who prefer the aid of Belts will find it very easy and safe to\\nmake belts upon the plan explained; and by gradually reducing the\\nfloating power of the belts from day to day, they will gain confidence,\\nand speedily acquire the art of swimming.\\nAccidents.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 They are always sudden, and most frequently occur\\nwhen least anticipated; and when the person who suffers the injury ia\\nentirely off his guard, and the mind incapable of self-reflection, 01\\nunable to discover what to do or what to advise.

The edges of the\\ncut or lacerated part are to be next brought together, and secured by\\nstrips of adhesive plaster, and a light bandage passed over all.\\nAccidents Precautions Against. It would be a reflection on the\\nreader s understanding, and take up too large a space in our work, to\\nset down all the precautions that it behooves a person possessed of\\nordinary prudence to adopt, to guard against avoidable accidents, as\\nevery one knows that going too near a precipice, throwing orange-peel\\non the pavement, leaving a room with a poker in the fire, or scattering\\nlucifer matches about for children to suck, or to be ignited by the tread\\nof the foot, are all self-evident and objectionable, as probable causes\\nof accident. Still there are some precautions that may not be so gen-\\nerally apparent, but which should be eqnally known, and which we\\npropose to generalize, first, into those against accidents by lightning.\\nHere it should be universally known, that as lightning is onlj a\\nconcentrated and powerful species of electricity, the same laws that\\ngoverns the latter influence the former; thus water, vegetables, and\\nmetals, are all strong conductors of electricity, or, in other words,\\nattract it; so also are they conductors of lightning. On this account it\\nis highly dangerous to take shelter duiing a thunder-storm under a tree\\nof any description, whatever the ancients may say to the contrary\\nabout the laurel. Equally objectionable is it to stand under a cart\\nlodge, or any out-building, where lead or zinc is used for the roofing;\\nfor the same reason it is dangerous to run under a portico, or eaves,\\nwhere there are drain pipes to convey the water from the roof. The banks\\nof lakes, rivers, and large pools of water, should for the same rea-\\nson be avoided; and an umbielUx, especially if it have a metal ferule,\\nis, during a thunder-storm, the most dangerous shelter of all, being\\nUttlft less than a iightning conductor. It is much safer, if overtaken by", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0405.jp2"}, "406": {"fulltext": "39 S Appendix to Medical Department.\\na thunder-storm, and where no house is near in which protection can\\nho obtained, to endure the wet, button the coat over the watch-chain,\\nclose the umbrella, cover the ferule with mud, and having removed\\nall metallic surfaces, take the middle of the road, and at a brisk walk\\nboldly encounter the rain. Even in the best built house it is necessary\\nto take precautions against lightning during a storm. The window, as\\nsoon as the panes become wet, is dangerous, as glass then is a conduc-\\ntor. The fireplace, on account of the chimney and the grate below, is\\nalso a situation to be avoided: so is the neighborhood of the bell\\nhandles and bell wires and the doors, on account of their bright knobs.\\nThe safest part of a room is the centre, the lire-irons being covered\\nover, and all metallic substances removed from around the space; the\\nbed, when detached from the wall, and destitute of metalli* rings, is,\\non account of the non-couducting property of the feathers, the safest\\npart of the whole house.\\nSecond, against accidents by water.\\nHowever meritorious may be the action, no person is jusUfled in\\nplunging into the water, to save another from drowning, unless he can\\nswim and even then he should defer his efforts till partial insensi.\\nbility occurs, for unless the ?wimmei gets behind the person, and keep?\\nhimself clear of the convulsive clutch, with which a drowning man\\ngrasps his preserver, the chances are that both may sink together.\\nIn bathing, unless a good swimmer, the person should never go\\nout of his depth he should at all times avoid bathing in holes, a nc^ i\\nin lakes or rivers, whenever he finds the water particularly cold as it ia\\nnear the springs, he should at once place himself beyond their reach,\\nand on the first sensation of cramp, make for the shore.\\nIn sailing in a small boat, whether propelled by sails or oars, th\u00c2\u00ab\\ncentre of gravity is always to be kept low the person should never\\nrise from his seat unless to land; more fatal accidents occur on tha\\nwater from the neglect of this rule, than from any kind of casualty.\\nWhen two or three persons suddenly rise up in a boat, it is almost cer-\\ntain to be overset, and every one in it flung into the water. With re-\\ngard to skating, no ice should be ventured on till after three day s frost,\\nand not then if the edge appear rotten, or can be pierced with a walk-\\ning-stick; the person who would attempt ^.o skate after a fall of rain,\\nor when water lies on the ice, does so in open violation of the com-\\nmonest rules of prudence.\\nThird, against accidents from fire.\\nIf disturbed in the night by the alarm of fire, the person should avoid\\nopening doors and windows; if he has to pass into other rooms to\\nrouse and collect his family, he should close the door behind him, so as\\nto prevent all draughts and strong currents of air. The best protection\\nany one can have in such a situation is a blanket; with a pair of shoes\\non the feet, a person enveloped all but the eyes in a blanket, may pass\\nin safety through a volume of smoke and a degree of heat that could\\nnot be effected in any other dress; the blanket being carefully held be-\\nfore the mouth, enables the individual to breathe with a freedom that\\nwould be impossible without such a protection. If there is water in\\nthe room, and much flame to be passed, the blanket should be first\\nwetted, particularly the part over the head and mouth. If all escape by\\nthe stairs is cut off, the sheets of the bed should be knotted together\\ninto a rope, and one end having been secured to the bod-post, an at-\\ntempt must be made to descend from the window by the other.

Unless there should be a crack in th*\\ntongue, a chap or abrasion of the lips or mouth, the most deadly rirua^\\nas we have shown, may be sucked with perfect impunity, and where\\nthe injury is in the hand or arm, the patient sl.ould suck the wound\\nhimself. When this cannot be done, however, the person who under.\\ntnkes that duty should supply himself with a large basin and a jug oi\\nwarm water, and, sitting on a level with the limb, grasp the p art\\nfirmly with both hands, one above, the other below the wound, andap.\\nplying his lips boldly and confidently over the bite, with a quick bul\\neffectual motion of the cheeks and tongue, suck all the blood and\\nmoisture from the puncture, every minute or two spitting it out into the\\nbasin, and, rinsing his mouth with the warm water, return to his task\\nnot forgetting to maintain his pressure on the limb with his two hands\\nThis sucking process should be persevered in for twelve or fifteen\\nminutes at least; abroad piece of tape or a garter being first passed\\nonce or twice round the limb an inch or two above the wound, between\\nit and the heart and then firmly tied.\\nCauterization and Excision.

A simple dislocation is when no injury\\nIS inflicted on the skin or muscles. A compounvl dislocation, when the in-\\nteguments and flesh are ruptured.\\nDislocations are accidents of very frequent occurrence, and may happen\\nto almost every bone in the body, and are usually eflTected by sudden falls or\\nsevere blows. It sometimes happens that dislocations are accompanied with\\na fracture of the same bone, when, if the fracture is near the head of the bone,\\nit is generally impossible to reduce the dislocation till the fracture has been\\nfirst reunited.\\nSymptoms.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 All dislocations are characterized by the same symptoms\\nthese are, pain and immobility of the member, with shortening of the limb,\\naccompanied with great pain if moved a depression in one place, and an\\nenlargement or swelling In another; a turning in or out of the foot or hand,\\naccording as to whether it is the leg or arm that is displaced. When the in-\\njury occurs to the hip joint, the knee is drawn up and pressed on the thigh of\\nthe sound leg, while if it is tlie shoulder joint, the patient invariably grasps\\nthe injured member by the elbow with the opposite hand. It should oe al-\\nways remembered, that wlien elderly people meet with heavy falls or blows,\\nthe chances are, from the greater brittleness of their bones, that they have\\nsastained a fracture, and not a dislocation.\\nDislocations occur most frequently in what are called the ball and socket\\njoints and next in the hinge, or ginglymus articulation.\\nDlslocattoa ^r tbe Shoulaer.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 When the bone of the arm is displaced.\\nIt is either outwardly, inwardly, behind, or below in whatever aspect it may", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0409.jp2"}, "410": {"fulltext": "402\\nAppendix to Medical Department,\\nAPPEARANCE OF A DISLOC.VTED\\nSHOTTIiDER.\\nbe, however, an apparent, cavity will be noticed where the fullness of t ,e\\njoint should be, and a corresponding projection observed in an opposite direc-\\ntion, unless the head of the bone has been w\\npressed into the arm-pit, or behind, under\\nthe shoulder-blade. The annexed cut\\nshows an outward dislocation of the head\\nof the shoulder.\\nThe most painful of these four forms\\nis the downward dislocation, for then the\\nbone presses on the whole congeries of\\nnerves and arteries, on their way to sup-\\nply the arm with sensation and vitality.\\nIn the majority of cases, the extension, as\\nthe process of pulling the bone into its\\nplace is called, snould be made in a direc-\\ntion nearly opposite to the position of the\\nhead of the bone.\\nThere are several methods adopted for\\nthe reduction of this accident, but the\\ntwo following will almost always be found\\nsuccessful. The patient is to be placed on\\nhis back on a mattress, or the squab of a\\nsofa, laid on the floor, his head supported\\nby a pillow in the manner shown in the\\nfollowing cut. A damp towel is then to\\nbe folded smoothly around the arm above\\nthe elbow. Upon this the operator ties a\\nstrong handkerchief, or making a hitch knot with a Jack towel over It\\nthrows the remainder over his shoulders, and having removed his rightboot\\ntakes his seat on the mattress, and placing the heel of his foot in the patient s\\narm-pit, either grasps the handkerchief and with both hands pulls with a\\nslow, steady strain upon the arm h\u00c2\u00ab\\nhas previously bent in the mannei\\nshown, or, if the jack towel is used\\nhe makes the extension or stretch by\\nmeans of his shoulders, while he hold*\\nthe arm in his hands, the heel in both\\ncases making the counterpoise. Hav\\ning, by a steady extension, graduallj\\ndrawn out the head of the bone, and\\nbrought it in front of the cavitj\\nin the shoulder-blade, the slightes)\\nbend of his shoulders, or relaxatlor\\nof the handkerchief, causes th*\\nstretched muscles suddenly to con\\ntract and draw the bone into tht\\nsocket with an audible crack In fe\\nmale cases, and younger persons, oi\\nthose of delicate con.siitutions, tht\\nfollowing plan will generally be found\\nsufficient: The patient being seated\\nin a high-backed chair, an assistant,\\nstanding on the uninjured side, places\\nhis left hand under ana across the\\narm-pit, while with his right hand\\nspread on the top of the shoulder, he\\ngrasps and keeps firmly in its place\\nthe shoulder-blade, and in this man-\\nner makes the counterpoise or exten-\\nsion. The operator then grasps tie\\nbent arm above the elbow, and stead-\\nily pulls the limb till he disengages\\nthe head, when, either moving It a\\nlittle Inward or outward, according as the dislocation has een in an outward\\nor inward direction, and at the same time slightly relaxing his extension,\\nthe head, \u00c2\u00a3is in the other case, will glide with a crack into its place. Much in\\nthis operation depends on the firmness with which the assistant keeps the\\nshoulder-blade in its place, for if that is not done the operator will, of neces-\\nsity, pull both arm and shoulder, and be no nearer the end for which he\\nmanipulates.\\nAs soon as the arm Is reduced, a sling must be made with a handkerchief,\\nand the folded arm carried in it for not less than a fortnight, to allo^ thy\\nmaacles and tendons to recover their tone.\\nRXOVCINQ A DISI.0CATBD SHOUL-\\nDER.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0410.jp2"}, "411": {"fulltext": "Accidents and Emergencies. 403\\nK ^ne reduction has been attended with much pain, and there is any\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2\u00c2\u00bbi ellii\u00c2\u00abfe or tenderness of the Joint, it will be well to foment the shoulder\\nwith warm bran poultices.\\nBall and Socket Joints.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Under this head we shall embrace the\\nshoulder-bone, fingers, hip, toes, the lower jaw, and collar-bone.\\nThe /-ea^\u00c2\u00bbrte7i^ In all cases of dislocation is so nearly alilie, that it may\\nsafely be generalized, except in a few instances, which will be specified in\\ntheir proper place.\\nThe first general rule to be remembered is, that all dislocations should be\\nreduced cw quickly as possible after they occur, as what with the internal lacera-\\ntion of ligaments, capsules, and tendons, and the pressure established on the\\nvessels by the displaced liead of the bone, severe swelling almost immedi-\\nately takes place, which every hour augmenting, not only adds greatly to thev\\nsuffering of the patient, bui materially increases the difliculty of the reduc-\\ntion when it is performed.\\nIn long-standing cases, or where some time has passed since the disloca-\\ntion, the muscles become so resistant that even tlie power of the pulley fails\\nto overcome tlieir opposition.

A bandage is then to be passed partly over\\nihe band and wrist, to support the joint, which will require some time to re-\\nx ver its usual strength.\\nThe fingers and thumbs are, in general, easily reduced by a little extension.\\nWhen, however, the muscles are strong, it may be necessary to take a piece\\n)f firm tape, on which a clove hitch having been made, is drawn tight on the\\nnext joint, and while one person holds the hand, tlis other makes extension\\niy the tape, till tlie reduction is effected.\\nDIslocatlOM of the Hip Joint, or Thigh.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Of all the dislocations to\\nwhich the body is liable, this is unquestionably the most serious in its conse-\\nluences, and at the same time the mo.st diflicult to reduce. The ligaments\\nplaced by nature around it for a protection ar^ so numerous, the muscles of\\nihe hip so short and strong, tliat, all combined, the difficulty experienced in\\n)vercoming the natur.il resistance of so many powerful levers makes the re-\\n\\\\uction of this accident a task of extreme difficulty.\\nFortunately, the strong guards placel around this articulation protect it\\nn a great measure, from accidents; still, tlie cases of such a dislocation are\\noy no means rare, and may occur at all agea and among either sex, though\\n.hose who most frequently suffer from such a misfortune are the young and\\n.he old. Among children and infants, unfortunately, it ismore frequent than\\n48 generally supposed. Rough or careless nursemaids\\nnot unfrequently drop the children entrusted to them,\\nor allow them to fall, nnd. not seeing any immediate\\ninjury, keep the fact from the mother, who, perhaps,\\nonly weeks after, discovers something amiss in her\\nchild by its crying when washed, or by its Incapacity\\nto walk, but, ignorant of the cause, trusts to rest or\\niime to effect a cure, till, too late, she discovers her\\nchild to be a cripple, and permanently deformed by a\\nshortened leg.\\nThe falling over a piece of timber, or a very trifling\\nobstructlo i.

Old people nre liable to this\\naccident fi-om the relaxed state of the tendons and\\nmuscles only it is very often complicated, in their case,\\nwith fracture of the neck of the tlilgli bone, making, in\\nmany instances, a hopeless accident.

A towel is\\nthen passed around the thigh above the knee, over which a jack-towel is tlien\\npassed with a clove hitch. This the surgeon extends by throwing the other\\nend over his shoulders, first placing his heel in the groin, and grasping the\\nlimb, guides it with his hand as he makes extension, till it springs into the\\nsocket. In strong and adult persons, however, this plan seldom succeeds,\\nand the pulley must be resorted to. When this is the case. It is customary to\\nfiass another folded sheet from the opposite side across the body, and make\\nts ends secure like the former, so as to keep the patient perfectly fixed. To\\nthe jack-towel attached to the knee, the line from a double block pulley is\\nthen fastened, the pulley being made fast to some resisting object, or astaple,\\non a line with the floor. The surgeon now takes his place by his patient, and\\ngrasps the thigh to guide it, as an assistant, or two if necessary, with slow\\nand steady pulling extend the limb, till the surgeon, having brought the head\\nto its natural position, gives the word for a trifling yield, when, if rightly\\nplaced, the bone with a loud report sinks Into its socket. It is in the reduc\\ntionof such dislocations as these, occurring in strong muscular men, when\\nno amount of straining can overcome the resistance of the muscles, that the\\nbleeding, tartar emetic, and such relaxing means, already mentioned, must-\\nbe adopted before the pati-But is unbound or left.\\nAfter so severe an accident, it will be necessary to enjoin some days total\\nrest before exerting the limb by the slightest exercise.\\nDislocation of the Ankle and Toes.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The accident to the foot, lik(f\\nthat to the hand, Is either backward or forward. As in that case, the leg must\\nbe firmly held by one, while another extends the foot in a line with the leg\\ntill the proper moment arrives, when the foot is to be pushed up or back to\\nmeet the bones of the leg. A bandage, as in the case of the wrist, must b*\\nplaced around to support this injury. It not unfrequently occurs with dislo\\ncation of the foot, that there is a fracture of the upper portion of the fibtdo^\\nor small bone of the leg. In such a case, the fracture must be attended to\\nafter the reduction of the Joint. The displacement of the toes must be treate\\nin the same manner ds that of the fingers.\\nDislocation of tlie Javir.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 This is a very alarming accident to see, bur\\nby no means difficult to cure; for as the person finds himself in a momen^\\nwith an immovaV:)le jaw, and incapable of speech, with a mouth wide open\\nhe can only by motions indicate what has happened. This accident is mos\\nfrequently caused by a fit of gaping\\nthough a blow on the side of the fao^\\nwhen the mouth is open, or a fall, havi\\\\\\ncaused it. The treatment consists ii\\nseating the individual in a chair, whei\\nthe surgeon, having enveloped both hi;\\nthumbs in strips of lint, places a thuml.\\non the back of the lower jaw, one ol\\neach side, and while his fingers grasp tht-\\nchin, he presses firmly downward oa thf.\\nteeth as he brings the Jaw a little for\\nward and upward with his fingers, tih\\nthe heads spring iato their sockets.

When once satisfied of the nature\\nof the injury, not an unnecessary moment should be lost before proceeding\\nto the reduction of the mischief, as every minute s delay not only adds\\ngreatly to the suffering of the patient, but by the rapid swelling that succeeds\\ncomplicates the treatment. i\\nDislocation of tbe Klbo fV. As three bones enter into the formationl\\nof this joint, it admits of several varieties of luxation, both backward and\\nforward\u00e2\u0080\u0094 that is, the joint of the forearm may be forced behind the bone of\\nthe arm, or it may be driven up in front of it; again, the two bones of the\\nforearm niay be dislocated from each other in several ways. The two most\\ngeneral forms, however, are the backward and forward dislocation.\\nThere are three modes of effecting the reduction of such accidents, which\\nwe give in their proper order.\\n1st. The following treatment will generally succeed with jouths and\\nchildren: The patient is to be placed in a chair, and while one assistant\\ngrasps the arm, and by counter-extension keeps the limb stationary, another,\\ntaking the forearm by the wrist, gradually extends the limb, as the surgeon,\\n*eated by the patient, grasps the member above or below the elbow, and by\\nmeans of a steady pressure of either his thumbs or fingers backward or for-\\nirard, as the nature of the accident may demand, forces the bones into their\\nroper place When the muscular power resists such force, a sheet must be\\n^.aased across the patient s chest and made fast to the wall a towel is then to\\noe wrapped around the wrist, and the line of a pulley attached to the hitch\\ni\u00c2\u00bbn the towel, and while the assistant at the arm and the surgeon at the el-\\nIvow, as in the former case, repeat their efforts, the other assistant, by means\\ntif the longer lever of the pulley, makes a gradual and steady extension.\\n2d. The patient and surgeon being seated on separate chairs, the latter\\nwikes the limb in his hands, and, steadying his knee on the style of his chair,\\nplaces the hollow of the arm, or the side of it, against the point of his knee,\\nand, bending round the arm, endeavors to force the bones back to their nat-\\nural position, the knee-cap of the operator acting as a fulcrum, and often\\neffecting what a direct strain on the muscles could not perform\u00e2\u0080\u0094 a reduction.\\n3d. This method is only a modification of the second, and \u00c2\u00abonsists in\\nseating the patient on the foot of a bed, and, making a fulcrum of the bed-\\npost, bending the dislocated limb upon it; llie surgeon using his hands, as an\\nMsistant bends the arm, to aid the action by the pressure of his fingers.\\nSome surgeons have succeeded in reducing the injury by using the round\\n\u00c2\u00bbrm of an easy-chair instead of the knee or bed-post.\\nGreat care must be taken after the reduction, not only in keeping the arm\\nin a sling for some weeks, but in applying warm fomentations around the\\nJoint, or lotions of sugar of lead and vinegar, made warm, to reduce the in-\\nflammatory action which is sure to supervene.\\nDislocation of tbe Knee Joint and Knee Cap.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Like the elbow,\\nthe knee may also be displaced backward and forward, and also inwardly and\\noutwardly, as well as having the bones of the leg themselves separated from\\neach other. Considerable lorce is olten necessary to reduce a luxation of the\\nknee joint, and overcome the muscular resistance; but in consequence of the\\nlarge articulating surfaces of this joint, the bones, when once brought down,\\nglide easily into their places.\\nThemodeof treatment is much the same as that already described. A\\nfirm counter-extension, by means of a sheet, must be made by the thigh, and\\nextension then established from the )eg, which must be kept partially bent\\nduring the operation; a towel, secured in the ordinary manner by a clove\\nhitch knot, is in the first instance to be adopted for making the extension the\\nsurgeon keeping his place by the knee, to assist, with hands and fingers, the\\noperation. When greater power is required, the towel must be joined to the\\npulley, and extension again made till the reduction is effected.\\nThe Kne:. Cap, or Patella, is very liable to be displaced, either outward.\\nInward, or upward. When this little flat bone is forcibly driven from its\\nplace, it is generally pushed over the protuberances of the bones, when it lies\\nas it were in a hollow, from which it requires some art to extricate it. This\\nis generally effected by pressing suddenly on the edge of the bone farthest\\nfrom the joint, by which means the other end is canted up over the bony en-\\nlargement, when the contractile power of the muscles at once draws it into\\nits place over the Joint. When this cannot be effected, the leg of the patient,\\nwho has been placed on his back, is to be raised and bent as far as possible\\ntoward his face. It is then to be suddenly fiexed or bent back on the thigh\\ntill th9 b\u00c2\u00ab\u00c2\u00bb4 toaob\u00c2\u00abs tbe hip.

Nc\\ndoubt these were designed to represent inward pui ity, but they an\\nat the same time calculated for the preservation of health.\\nHowever whimsical these washings may appear to some, fev\\nthings would seem more to prevent diseases than a proper attention t\\nmany of them.\\nWere every person, for example, after handling a dead body, vin\\niting the sick, etc., to wash before he went into company, or sat dow\\nto meat, he would run less hazard either of catching the infection him\\nself, or communicatiug it to others.\\nFrequent washing not only removes the filth which adheres to th\u00c2\u00bb\\nskin, but likewise promotes the perspiration, braces the body, and en\\nlivens the spirits.\\nEven washing the feet tends greatly to preserve health. The pei\\nspiration and dirt with which these parts are frequently covered, can\\nnot fail to obstruct their pores. Thi\u00c2\u00ab piece of cleanliness would oftei-\\nprevent colds and fevers.\\nWere people to bathe their feet and hands in warm water at nighv\\nafter being exposed to cold or wet through the day, they would seldorc\\nexperience anj of the efiects from these causes which often prov*.\\nfatal.\\nIn places where great numbers of sick people are kept, cleanlines\\nought most religiously to be observed.

It is easy to imagine what effec-\\nthat is likely to have upon the diseased.\\nA person in health has a greater chance to become sick, tkan a\\nsick person has to get well, in an hospital or mflrmary where cleanli-\\nness is neglected.\\nThe brutes themselves set us an example of cleanliness. Most of\\nthem seem uneasy, and thrive ill, if they be not kept clean. A horse\\nthat is kept thoroughly clean will thrive better on a smaller quantity\\nf food, than with a greater where cleanliness Is neglected.\\nEven our own feelings are a sufficient proof of the neeessity of\\ncleanliness. How refreshed, how cheerful and agreeable does one feel\\non being washed and dressed especially when these have long been\\nneglected.\\nSuperior cleanliness sooner attracts our regard than even finery\\nitself, and often gains esteem where the other fails.\\nInfluence of Cleanliuess.

A clean, fresh, and well ordered house exercises over its in-\\nmates a moral no less than a ph5 sical influence, and has a direct ten-\\ndency to make the members of a family sober, peaceable, and consid-\\nerate of the feelings and happiness of each other; nor is it difficult to\\ntrace a connection between habitual feelings of this sort and the form-\\nation of habits of respect for property, for the laws in general, and\\neven for those higher duties and obligations the observance of which\\nno laws can enforce. Dr. Southwood Smith.\\nEXERCISE. Exercise in tlie open air is of the first importance\\nto the human frame, yet how many are in a manner deprived of it by\\ntheir own want of management of their time! Females with slender\\nmeans are for the most part destined to indoor occupations, and have\\nbut little time alloted tliem for taking the air, and that little time is\\ngenerally sadly encroaclied upon by the ceremony of dressing to go\\nout. It may appear a simple suggestion, but experience only will show\\nhow much time might be redeemed by habits of regularity such as\\n(mtting the shawls, cloaks, gloves, shoes, clogs, etc., etc., or whatever\\na intended to be worn, in readiness, instead of having to search one\\ndrawer, then another, for possibly a glove or collar wait for shoes be-\\ning cleaned, etc. and this when (probably) the out-going persons have\\nto return to their employment at a given time. Whereas, if all were\\nIn readiness, the preparations might be accomplished in a few minutes,\\nthe walk not being curtailed by unnecessary delays.\\nThree principal points in the manner of taking exercise are\\nnecessary to be attended to: 1. The kind of exercise. 2. The proper\\ntime for exercise. 3. The duration of it. With respect to the kind of\\nexercise, the various species of it may be divided into active and pas-\\nsive. Among the first, which admit of being considerably divei sified,\\nmay be enumerated walking, running, leaping, swimming, riding,\\nfencing, the military exercise, different kinds of athletic games, etc.\\nA-naong the latter, or passive kinds of exercise, may be comprised\\nriding in a carriage, sailing, friction, swinging, etc.\\nActive exercises are more beneficial to youth, to the middle-aged,\\nto the robust in general, and particularly to the corpulent and the\\nplethoric.\\nPassive kinds of exercise, on the contrary, are better calculated for\\nchildren; old, dry, and emaciated persons of a delicate and debilitated\\nconstitution and particularly for the asthmatic and consumptive.\\nThe time at which exercise is most proper depends on such a variety\\nof concurrent circumstances, that it does not admit of being regulated\\nby any general rules, and must therefore be collected from the obser-\\nv.atlons made on the effects of air, food, drink, etc.\\nWith respect to the duration of exercise, there are other particu-\\nlars, relative to a greater or less degree of fatigue attending the differ-\\nent species, and utility of it in certain states of the mind and body,\\nwhich must determine this consideration as well as the preceding.\\nThat exercise is to be preferred which, with a view to brace and\\nstrengthen the body, we are most accustomed to. Any unusual one\\nmay be attended with a contrary effect.\\nExercise should be begun and finished gradually, never abruptly.\\nExercise in the open air has many advantages over that used with-\\nin doors.\\nTo continue exercise until a profuse perspiration or a great degree\\nof weariness takes place, is far from being wholesome.\\nIn tbe fM etiesn. when the stomaoh is not too much distended,\\n27", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0419.jp2"}, "420": {"fulltext": "41 a Appendix to Medical Departmtni.\\nmuscular motion is both agreeable and healthful it strengthen* 41.\\ngestion, and heats the body less than with a full stomach and a good\\nappetite after it is a ])roof tliat it lias not been carried to excess.\\nBill at the same time it should be understood, that it is not adriea\\nble to take violent exercise immediately before a meal, as digestion\\nmight tliereby be retarded.\\nNeither should we sit down to a su])stantial dinner or supper im-\\nmediately on returning from a fatiguing walk, at a time when the blood\\nis heated, and the body in a state of perspiration from previous exer-\\ntion, as the worst consequences may arise, especiallj where cooling\\ndishes, salad, or a glass of cold drink is begun witli.\\nExercise is always liurtful after meals, from its impeding diges-\\ntion, by propelling those Huids too much towards the surface of the\\nbody which are designed for the solution of the food in the stomach.\\nWALKING. To walk gracefully the body must be erect, but not\\nstiff, and the head held up in such a posture that the eyes are directed\\nforward. The tendency of untaught walkers is to look towards the\\nground near the feet; and some persons appear always as if admiring\\ntheir shoe-ties. The eyes should not be thus cast downward, neither\\nshould the chest bend forward to throw out the back, making what are\\ntermed round shoulders; on the contrary, the whole person must hold\\nitself up, as if not afraid to look the world in the face, and the chest\\nby all means be allowed to expand. At the same time, everything\\nlike strutting or pomposity must be carefully avoided. An easy, firm,\\nand erect po.sture is alone desirable. In walking, it is necessary to\\nbear in mind that the locomotion is to be entirely performed by the\\nlegs. Awkward persons rock from side to side, helping forward each\\nleg alternately by advancing the haunches. This is not only ungrace-\\nful but fatiguing. Let the legs alone advance, bearing up the body.\\nUTILITI OF SINGING.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 It is asserted, and we believe with some\\ntruth, that siuging is a corrective af the too common tendency to pul-\\nmonic complaints. Dr. Rush, an eminent physrician, observes on this\\nsubject: The Germans are seldom afflicted with consumption; and\\ntliis, I believe, is in part occasioned by the strength which their lungs,\\nacquire by exercising them in vocal music, for this constitutes an\\nessential branch of their education. The music master of an academy\\nlias furnished n\\\\e with a remark still more in favor of this opinion.\\nHe informed me that he had known several instances of persons who\\nwere strongly difposed to consumption, who were restored to health\\nby the exercise of their lungs in singing.\\nTHE WEATHER AND THE BLOOD.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 In dry, sultry weather\\nthe heat ought to be counteracted by means of a cooling diet. To this\\npurpose cucumbers, melons, and juicy fruits are subservient. We\\nought to give the preference to alimentary substances as lead to contract\\nthe juices which are too much expanded by the heat, and this property\\nis possessed by all acid food and drink. To this class belong all sorts^\\nof salad, lemons, oranges, pomegranates sliced and sprinkled witli\\nBugar, for the acid of this fruit is not so apt to derange the stomach as\\nthat of lemons; also cherries and strawberries, curds turned with\\nlemon acid or cream-of-tartar; cream-of-tartar dissolved in water;\\nlemonade, and Rhenish or Moselle wine mixed with water.\\nHOW TO GET SLEEP.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 How to get sleep is to many persons a\\nmatter of high importance. Nervous persons who are troubled with\\nwakefulness and excitability, usually have a strong tendency of blood\\non the brain, with cold extremities.

Getting up an hour or two earlier often gives a degree\\nof viofor which nothing else can procure. For those who are not much\\ndebilitated, and sleep well, the best rule is to get out of bed soon after\\nwaking in the morning. This at first may appear too early, for the\\ndebilitated require more sleep than the healthy; Itiit rising early will\\ngradually prol\u00c2\u00abvng the sleep on the succeeding night, till the quantity\\nthe patient enjoys is equal to his demand for it. Lying late is not\\nonly hurtful, by the relaxation it occasions, but also by occupying that\\npart of the day aj which exercise is most beneficial.\\nAPPETITE.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Appetite is frequently lost through excessive use of\\nstimulants, food ttiken too hot, sedentary occupation, costiveness, liver\\ndisorder, and wabs of change of air. The first endeavor should be to\\nascertain and remo/e the cause. Change of di-it and change of air\\nwill frequently be found more beneficial than medicines.\\nTEMPERANCid.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 If, observes a writer, men lived uniformly\\nin a healthy climate, were possessed of strong and vigorous frames,\\nwore descended from healthy parents, were educated in a hardy and\\nactive manner, weie possessed of excellent natural dispositions, were\\nplaced in comfortable situations in life, were engaged only in healthy\\noccupations, were l^appily connected in marriage, and kept their pas-\\nsions in due subjt^)tion, there would be little occasion for medical\\nrules.

We cannot account for this either; be-\\ncause of such men we know but few who have lived otherwise th.in\\ntiie world around them; and we have known many who have lived in\\nhabitual intemperance for forty or fifty years, without interruption\\nand with little apparent inconvenience.\\nTlie assertion has been made by those who have attained a great\\natrc (Parr, and Henry Jenkins, for instance), that they adopted no par-\\nticular arte for the preservation of their health, consequently, it might\\nhe inferred that the duration of life has no dependence on manners or\\neustoms, or the qualities of particular food.

It is veryditii\\ncult to make young persons comprehend this. They frequently sit up\\nas late as twelve, one, or two o clock, without experiencing any iji\\neffects; they go without a meal to-day, .ind to-morrow eat to repletion,\\nwith only temporary inconvenience. One night they will sleep three\\nor four hours, and the next nine or ten; or one night, in their eager\\nness to get away into some agreeable company, they will take .lo food\\nat all, and the next, perhaps, will eat a hearty supper, and go to bed\\nupon it. These, with various other irregularities, are common to the\\nmajority of young men, and are, as just stated, the cause of mucli bad\\nhealth in mature life.

The number of seconds they can oontinue counting must be\\ncarefully observed In a consumption the time does not exceed ten,\\nand is frequently less than six seconds; in pleurisy and pneumonia it\\nranges from nine to four seconds. When the lungs are in a sound\\ncondition, the time will range as high as from twenty to thirty-five\\naeconds.\\nSictt Rooms Cautions in Visiting. Never enter a sick room in a\\nstate of perspiration, for as soon as the body becomes cold, it may\\nabsorb the infection or disease. Do not visit a sick person with au\\nempty stomach, as it disposes the sj stem more readily to receive in-\\nfection. In a sick room, stand wheie the air passes from the door or\\nwindow to the bed of the diseased. When poisonous vapor is muca\\ndiluted with fresh air, it is not noxious. The windows of a sick room,\\nsmall and confined, should not be closed if the wind is cold, nearly\\nclose the curtains of the bed. Remove all dirty cloths, clotlies, and\\ndischarges, as soon as possible. Let the visitor have about his person\\ncamphor, etc After leaving an infectious room, a person should con-\\ntinue in the open air some time before he enters his own dwelling.\\nUse of Fruit. Instead of standing in any fear of a generous con-\\nsumption of ripe fruits, we regard them as conducive to health. We\\nhave no patience in reading the endless rules to be observed in\\nthis particular department of physical comfort. No one ever lived\\nlonger or freer from disease, by discarding the fruits of the land in\\nwhich he finds a home.

Brisk walking throws the blood to the sur-\\nface of the body, thus keeping up a vigorous circulation, making a cold\\nimpossible, if you do not get into a cold bed too quickly after reaching\\nhome.

Of all subjects connected with\\nthis department, and of all the duties which devolve upon the mother\\nas a watchful guardian of the health and well-being of her children,\\nthere is no one more important, and none that will reward her more to\\nstudy, than that of irritation for, with a knowledge of its source and\\nresults, she will be able to guard against the causes, remove the effects\\nand very often, by timely and simple ministration, relieve many dis-\\neases of infancy and childhood.\\nIrritation is a disordered state of the nerves of the part affected,\\nwith more or less pain and functional disturbance; a state in which\\nthe predominant symptom is nervous derangement, which is neither\\naccompanied by, nor results from inflammation. The influence of\\nh ritation, as a cause of disease, is wide spread, and a knowledge of its\\neffects will guide the mother, not onlj in the detection of disease, but\\nenable her wisely to remove or combat it. She will thus learn that\\ninost diseases of infants proceed from irritation of a higher or lower\\ndegree, and not from inflammation, a fact that is too often overlooked\\nby medical men, who, through fear of this hugbear, resort to leeching,\\nblistering, mercurials and aniimonials, to prevent or subdue it, to the\\ngreat injury of the little patient. For if a disease proceeding from\\nIrritation be treated as an inflammatory one, the case will be greatly\\naggravated.\\nIt is a great physiological fact, and mothers should be aware of it,\\nthat every organ of the body is liable to derangement in its function\\nfrom the influence of irritation; and that such deranged action may\\njccur directly or indirectly, from sympathy with other parts, organs,\\nor functions of them in an unnatural state of excitement or irritation.\\nTo illustrate the foregoing observations, I will specify some of the\\nsources and effects in and upon children. The function of the brain\\nmay, for a time, be more or less paralized, assuming all the symptoms\\nof stupor or apoplexy, in consequence of the pain attendant upon\\nteething, or from the irritating effects of undigested or crude food in\\nthe stomach. From similar exciting causes, as well as from worms in\\nthe alimentary canal, will convulsions often ensue. Even external\\nimpressions of a powerful kind, will exert similar effects, and produce\\nconvulsions as the following cases, related by Surgeon Hood, clearly\\nproves.

Irritation Special.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Having spoken somewhat in gen-\\neral terms of the influence of irritation upon the young child, I will\\nnow point out some of tlie special eflfects arising from the same source.\\nFlatulency is directly a cause of much pain and discomfort to the\\nbabe, and indirectly produces palpitation of the heart, whilst derange-\\nment of the stomach and liver, especially if attended with acidity, will\\nnot only produce the same eflects, but, in addition, give rise to acute\\npain in the region of the heart. Cold is also a most common cause of\\nirritatation, not only causing pain and distress in the bowels, but more\\nfrequently acting upon and deranging the functions of the lungs and\\nair passages.\\nWho has not noticed how remarkably have children, when prop-\\nerly clothed, escaped entirely the ordinary affectations of the cliest\\nduring the first year or two of their existence, proving conclusively\\nthat judicious clothing becomes really a prophylactic against catarrli,\\nas the converse has always been observed where diseases of these organs\\nconstantly abound.\\nMothers should remember that even if the infant with bare arms\\nchest and legs, should escai^e from catarrh before the period of teetli\\ning, it will be fearfully in danger when this in-itative process com-\\nmences, as it f?eems to deprive the ungs of their previous power of\\nresisting the effects of colds. Rood.\\nEvery mother knows, (and yet how often she overlooks the fact,)\\nthat teething will so affect the digestive powers as to cause sickness\\nand loss of appetite; and the excitement increasing, and the irritation\\nextending, will sometimes produce quite a severe purging.\\nSo susceptible is the nervous organizations of the infant, that this\\nnatural tenderness of early life renders them liable to powerful im-\\npressions from slight causes of irritation.\\nAfter the age of three years, such diseases as arise chiefly from\\nirritation become less common, and sudden attacks more rare. Now,\\nalso, the brain is more frequently attacked or suffers more from in-\\ncreased nervousexcitemeatinsteadof the lungs or organs of respiration,\\nas was the case in the earlier stages.\\nMany parents manifest a desire to make their children smart or\\nprecocious at this early period, and they resort to means to effect this,\\nthat frequently excite ihe brain in a forcible and unnatural manner,\\nand cause functional derangement of that important organ. Such\\nprecocious children are generally of a nervous temperament, tiieir\\nmuscular system imperfectly developed, and a too rapid growth of the\\nbody induces debility and languor in the circulation, andconsequently\\nan insufficient supply of blood to the brain.\\nFinally, mothers should ever remember, that the confined air of\\nthe bedchamber predisposes to irritation of the throat and lungs.\\nHence the suddeness and frequency of attacks of spasmodic croup, and\\nother iiritations in the respiratory organs during the night, when the\\nchild ii;is been put to bed in apparent health.\\nWell ventilated rooms are of the first importance to childrcB as well\\nas adults, during dentition especially and the good eflects of such rooms\\ncanoot be too highly appreciated by both clases.

For instance, even though\\nthe child be thought, in her tits of fear, to be alarmingly ill, yet if it\\nreposes upon its side, the arms easily bent, (perhaps the head resting\\nupon one of them,) with the thighs drawn up toward the abdomen^\\nshe may safely conclude, there is no danger to be apprehended to\\nmy darling babe; but if it is observed to lie upon its back continuously\\nits legs strecthed out, its arms extended, and fingers clenching thf\\nthumbs in the palms, together with more or less rigidity of the rauscle\u00c2\u00ab\\nof the body, then, surely, in all such cases, there is much reason foi\\nserious apprehension on account of the presence of powerful irritating\\ncauses existing somewhere in its system, and a medical attendant\\nshould be summoned without delay.

That teething gives rise to more of the maladies to which in-\\nfants are subject than any other known cause, is a truth, the impor-\\ntance of which, to the mother, cannot be over-estimated. And this\\ncause, most unfortunately for the well-being of the infantile race, is too\\nfrequently overlooked by her and physicians generally; for the dis-\\nturbance of the functions of the brain, organs of vespi ration, stomach,\\nand bowels, arising from dentition, is often so great, and the symptoms\\nso prominent, that tlie exciting cause (teething) is entirely overlooked.\\nThe forming tooth, pressing upon the dental nerve below and the\\ndistended, sensitive gum above, induces pain and nervous irritation,\\nwhich causes the heart to beat with greater violence and rapidity, and\\nconsequently, more blood than is consistent with their healthy func-\\ntions, is propelled into those organs, and mischief results from unequal\\ndistribution of blood, more or less local congestion, and imperfect oxy-\\ngenation.\\nLess danger results when the irritation of teething affects the\\nbowels, as a moderate purging usually affords some relief, though often\\nof a temporary character, to tlie child s sufferings.\\nIf the diarrhtta continues, however, tlie circulation soon becomes\\nlanguid, from a diminished supply of blood, as tlie unnatural discharge\\nof fluids trom the body lessens tiie amount of the circulating fluid, and\\nthe child soon becomes either peevish and fretful, or listless and lan-\\nguid, witli an inclination to sleep, and manifests most clearly an im-\\npoverished condition of the blood, namely, a deficiency of red globules\\nm it.\\nThe lively sympathy existing between teething and the brain, is\\nvery frequently productive of convulsions; and long continued irrita-\\ntion in the gums should never be allowed to exist. When a child has\\nonce had convulsions during teething, it is rendered more prone to\\n,hem, and hence the mother should be carefully watchful in the future,\\nmd liave the swollen gums freely lanced whenever the child manifests\\nmy evidence of suffering from the impinging tooth. If this caution\\ns attentively observed, the dreaded attack can nearly always be ward-\\nid off\\nThe sympathy between teething and the windpipe is also re-\\nmarkable, particularly in children whose nervous organizations are\\ndelicate; thougli the robust as well as the pale and weakly are not ex-\\nempt from these sudden attacks of spasms indicated by a crowing,\\ncroupy respiration. These sudden seizures of interruption to normal\\nbreathing are very alarming io the young motlier especially, as the\\nchild struggles for breath, its face becomes livid, and when the spasm\\nsubsides, it looks mucli paler than usual. In all such cases the mother,\\ninstead of resorting to such nauseants as hive sj-rup, tincture of obelia,\\nantimonial wine, etc., should carefully examine the condition of the\\ngums, and the cause will there be generally found, and tlie means of\\ncure are lancing the tumid gum.\\nIts Sympathies. The sympatlietic irritations arising from the\\ngrowing tooth pressing upon tlie large nerve beneath, and the sensi-\\ntive filaments in the swollen gum, are many and important, and should\\nbe well understood by mothers.\\nIt was observed in the previous remarks, that teething was a com-\\nmon exciting cause of disturbance in the functions of respiration.\\nThis arises from tlie fact, that pain and irritatioUj especially in the", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0443.jp2"}, "444": {"fulltext": "436 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nyounof subject, produce a rapidity in the circulation, which causes\\niuirried breathing, ond in time leads to the production of symptoms\\nresembliiij? those of inllatnmation of the bronchi or of the lungs.\\nIll these cases tlie face becomes hot and flushed; the head suflfers\\nfrom the impure blood sent by the brain, and convulsions may ensue.\\nNow if tlie physician who is called, misjudges this case from non-\\nf.imiliarity vvitii diseases of children, and supposes it to be a true in-\\nrtaairaatory action going ou within the chest, and gives the child a\\nsharp purge of calomel, and advises antiraonials, he will do the child\\nincalcuable injury, as will be evidenced the next day by its pale and\\nexhausted appearance. And all the above symptoms, in a severe form,\\nwill return the following nigiit, when tlie physician will again be\\ncalled, aud most probably follow up an erroneous treatment by blis-\\ntering the chest, etc. The fate of this child is easily foretold, unless,\\nindeed, it be possessed of a very vigorous constitution. But one ex-\\nperienced in the mi? ladies of children will always examine the mouth\\nof these cases, and find some one or more of the larger teeth pressing\\nstrongly against the gums, which he will lance freely, order a warm\\nbatli, ptirhaps, and some simple carminative aperient, and find the\\nchild quite well tiie following day.\\nA rattling of u ucus in the throat of a healthy child sometimes\\nneedlessly alarms th-3 over-anxious mother, for it is unattended with\\nany disturbance to respiration, it will soon pass away under the use\\nof a half to one grain of ipecacuanha, (or an equivalent dose of its\\nsyiiip,) at bed-time, for a few nights. Catching of the breath and\\ngreat irregularity in breathing, are other symptoms frequently occur\\nring during dentition, and are indications that the gums require lanc-\\ning.\\nIrritation attending teething, in numerous instances, causes the\\nchild to become feeble, and its muscles flabby, and sometimes even die\\nsuddenly, through spasms of the glottis. In other cases the digestion\\nbecomes impaired, the stomach is distended, bowels deranged, the\\nsleep disturbed and unrefreshing, and the child becomes peevish and\\nfretful. A cough is not unfrequently present; the child s lips, and\\nalso the nose, are dry, which it inclines to pick; and the mother is in-\\nduced to believe that worms are the cause of the trouble. Tet such\\nconditions are seldom seen after the period of dentition has i)assed.\\nWhen the diarrhea, whi-^h occurs during teething in robust chil-\\ndren, is of a mild character, it is more or less beneficial, as nature thus\\nendeavors to remove the irritation existing in the system of the child.\\nBut if the child is of a delicate habit, its face grows pale, and its flesh\\nflabby, the diarrhea becomes exhausting and dangerous, and convul-\\nsions, resulting from debility, are liable to ensue.\\nIn these and the preceding cases the usual carminatives, spiced\\nrhubarb, chalk mixtures, etc., fail ^0 affbrd relief. But if the gums are\\nscarified, little difficulty will be found in controlling this form of illness\\nby the administration of a few drops of paregoric, half a tea-spoon of\\nsyrup of poppies mixed with a tea-spoon of the compound infusion of\\nroses a similar dose two or three times daily. The child ahould have\\ncalves foot jelly, to which should be ndded a little isinglass and good\\nport wine.\\nWhen children ai-e cutting teeth they should have the benefit of\\npure air, and more especially siioiild tins be attended to v^\\\\qvl fever\\noccurs as the result of irritation from this cause.

Children who have passed through\\nthe more alarming stages of dentition, or some disease during this\\nperiod, are frequently met with, who still seem to waste, to lose\\nstrength, and manifest great disinclination to take food. In the e\\ncases it becomes a nice question to determine whether purgative medi-\\ncine should be administered. This point can safely be determined by\\ndiscending the lips, and, though the tongue may appear clean, if tnr;\\ncavity of the mouth is found lined with adhesive, thick saliva, present\\ning the appearance of a gummy exudation, laxatives are clearly in-\\ndicated.\\nIn such cases rhubarb and magnesia (Husband s) can be advan\\ntageously administered, and tiie child will soon be liiore disposed W\\npartake of nourishment. In the next place, where the tongue is clean,\\nthere is no medicine comparable with the aromatic sulphuric acid, in\\nsmall doses, twice a day, to remove the debility, or restore the strength,\\nand hasten convalescence.\\nEczema, or clusters of vesicles, with burning heat and porrigo, or\\nscald-head, attended with or without enlargement of the submaxillary\\nglands, (swelling beneath the under jaw), often arise dui-ing dentition,\\nand are obstinate affections. Attention to the gums, an occasional dose\\nof rhubarb and magnesia, elder ointment, or dilute citrine ointment,\\nwill soon remove the cutaneous eruption; and an emetic of ipecac, at\\nleast twice a week, will generally soon cause an absorption of the\\nglandular difficulty. Sometimes a little of the ointment of iodide of\\npotassium is required to be rubbed around the swelling; and in cases\\nof debility, it is well to administer the elixir of vitriol, or compound\\nsyrup of phosphates.\\nVery much more should be said in reference to the sjnnpathies of\\ndentition, to do the subject full justice; but these hints must suffice,\\nwith the addition of a few words in reference to a prejudice existing in\\nthe minds of some mothers against scarifying the gums. A popular\\nerror is, that if the cut gum heals before the tooth advances through\\nIt, a hard cicatrix is formed over it, which adds greater difficulty to\\nsubsequent protrusion. This is a fallacy, as the anatomy of the parts\\nand daily experience declare for the gums are of a spongy nature,\\nVery unlike muscular fibre, being soft and plentifully supplied with\\nblood-vessels; and it matters not how often the lance is used, no in-\\ncreased hardness is ever observed. The other popular notion that the\\ngums should never be lanced until the teeth are near the surface, is\\nequally fallacious, since the necessity and urgency of the operation are\\nfrequently as imperative when the teeth are deep-seated, because the\\ncapsules in which the teeth are inclosed become congested with blood,\\nproducing pressure on delicate nerves in contact with the advancing\\nteeth, and thus occasioning the most severe pain. The free flow of\\ndark, grumous blood, with the great relief afforded by it, is sufficient\\nargument in favor of the remedy.\\nI have never known any injurious effects to arise from lancing the\\ngimis, but the cases are numerous, indeed, in which the most fatal con\\ni (iuences have resulted from neglect of this safe and simple act. Nay,\\nii is sometimes necessary to scarify the gums when the points of the\\nteeth, especially the canine and some of the molars, appear through the\\ngum for these sharp points become verj^ broad towards the base, and\\nthe spaces in which the eye-teeth appear are often contracted by the\\nteeth on either side, and they are, in consequence, cut with much more\\noaiu and difficulty.\\nSquinting, convulsions, water on the brain, and various spasmodic", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0445.jp2"}, "446": {"fulltext": "438 Appendix to Medical Department.\\naffections, and even the sudden loss of the power of walking, are\\namong the serious products of a neglect of a timely free incision of the\\ngums.\\nNo. Tin.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 CoDTiilsions\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Their Cause.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Children of highly nerv-\\nous temperaments, and who ai-e consequently easily excited, are more\\nprone to convulsions than those of a more phlegmatic temperament.\\nPainful dentition, producing continued irritation, is the most fre-\\nquent exciting cause of convulsions in children, as is proved from the\\nfact, that after the first set of teeth is cut, they are observed to happen\\nmuch less frequently. Such prolonged irritation, in the first place,\\ncauses impairment of the powers of the stomach, and offensive secre-\\ntions, in consequence, gradually accumulate in the bowels. And from\\nimperfect digestion at this early age, a copious deposit of lithic (red)\\nacid will sometimes be observed in the urine of the child by the mother,\\nwhich she should bear in mind is often a premonitory symptom of\\nconvulsions, with a tendency to effusion of water within the brain.\\nThe necessity of attending to the child s gums, and removing these\\nmorbid secretions, as measures for preventing convulsions, cannot be\\ntoo often enforced upon the minds of mothers.\\nConvulsions in very young children, long before the period of\\ndentition, may arise f i*om the milk of the mother being of an unhealthy\\nquality, rendered so by her habits of life, and unsuited to the delicate\\nstomach of the infant. This is particularly liable to be the case in\\nmothers of highly nervous temperaments with active and anxious\\nminds, interested in their husband s affairs, speculations, etc.\\nConvulsions are also met with in weakly, debilitated children,\\nwith pale countenances, transparent skin, languid circulation, and the\\nblood evidently deficient in red particles. In these cases, the brain\\nsuffers from deficincy of nervous energy, and the vital powers soon\\nbecome of such low order, that very slight causes of irritation are sufli\\ncient in themselves to bring on an attack of convulsions.\\nWhen offensive secretions or Indigestible matters are retained in\\nthe bowels; or when the stomach is surcharged with rich pastry, nuts,\\ncheese, unripe fruits, etc., the brain is very apt to become sympathet-\\nically affeci.ed, and convulsions are liableto supervene. In the formei\\ncase the symptoms are heaviness of the eyes, drowsiness, more or less\\nirritative fever, and a characteristic blueness of the tongue. An active\\ncathartic is here demanded, and is nearly all that is necessary to remove\\nthis state of oppression. In the latter cases, nothing is comparable to\\nan emetic of ipecac to remove the contents of the stomach, and thus\\nfree the brain from sympathetic oppression.\\nAnother cause of convulsions arises from the injudicious use of ex-\\nternal applications alone, for the hasty cure of cutaneous diseases that\\nhave long existed; and if the disease affects the scalp, the repellent\\n.iction of ointments, applied not unfrequently, gives rise to inflamma-\\ntion of the brain, and consequent effusion.\\nMothers should not take counsel of old nurses and uneducated\\ndoctoresses, in respect to infallible cures for various eruptions of\\nthe skin, wnich are to be applied locally, without suitable constitu-\\ntiqnal treatment being conjoined, of which this class of persons are\\nignorant.

Thus, there is the\\nComujon or Sick Nurse, tlie Monthly Nurse, the Wet Nurse, and the\\nNurse of the Nursery. However important a personage the individual\\nof the latter order may be, or however responsible her moral duties as\\nthe deputy guardian of infancy and childhood, we shall leave her\\norder out of the pale of our remarks, and confine ourselves exclusively\\nto those wliose members have the physical care of the old and young.\\nTiie Goiiiinoii, or Sick Nurse. The following requisites of a good\\nnurse, thougli given under the order of the sick nurse, are equally ap-\\nplicable to each of the others. In the first place, it iB an absolute re-\\n^uisite that the nurse should possess good health, present and general,\\nlot subject to firs, bad legs, headaches, dropsiness, or hysterical at-\\ntacks; that she should be strong, active, not younger than thirty or\\ntlder than fifty, fifty-five at the utmost. Before thirty she cannot be\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0ixpected to possess that firmness of character so necessary hi a person\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2indertaking such responsibilities as her duties impose, or manifest that\\nfirudence and discrimination she is so often called upon to evince;\\nvhile after fifty she will neither have the strength and alaci ity of body\\n10 requisite in a nurse, nor that tranquility of mind and equanimity of\\n\u00c2\u00abmper which should form the highest attributes of the truly profes-\\nMonal nurse. Tliere are two other physical imperfections the nurse\\nshould be free from; viz., she should not be lame or hard of hearing;\\nleafness is, perhaps, one of the greatest drawbacks a nurse could pos-\\n-^ess. Not alone would such an affliction prevent her hearing the mur-\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2nurs or faint solicitations of her patient, but, what would be of still\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2nore consequence, she might misunderstand the directions given her\\nt y the physician, or the purport of the patient s wishes.\\nThe nurse should not be too tall or too short, and, more than all,\\nhe should not be fat or too bulky in person. If very tall, her height\\nmay become a source of annoyance and even an paJiy to the patient,\\nu-ritating his mind by the omnipresence of her figure; if too short, the\\nnurse will be unable to reach over her patient, and perform many\\noffices with facility and despatch, which a taller frame and longer\\narras would have enabled her to execute with ease and comfort; and,\\nlastly, if fat, she will be heavy, slow, and iu all probability prone to\\ndrowsiness and deep sleep.\\nA nurse should possess that happy medium of stature known as\\nthe middle height; be of sufficient strength to lift her patient without\\nrisk or exliaustion; of a pleasing, cheerful countenance; quick but\\ncareful in her actions, and light and noiseless in her tread; and lastly,\\nas regards her physical requisites, her hands should be soft and pleas-\\nant to the feel.\\nThe moral requisites of the nurse, though not so numerous, are no\\nleas imperative tlian those of her person. Her disposition should be\\nnaturally cheerful; her temper kind, but firm; her self-control endur-\\ning, but unsliaken; and her patience without reproach, to enable her\\nto bear, with an unruffled temper, the captiousness of sickness and the\\nirritable exactions of the convalescent; for the nurse who forgets the\\ndiscontent and fretfulneas that suffering and disease so often calls forth,\\nand, losing her prudence, enters into contentious strife with her patient,\\nV unfit to be trusted for an hour in the room of the afflicted.

Besides these qualities, she must be tolerably educa-\\nted and fully able to read, without hesitation, all the directions ac-\\ncompanying the medicine entrusted to her for the patient. She must\\nbe able to bear fatigue without distress, and be prepared to sacrifice\\nher rest when the watchfulness and pain of the invalid demands her\\nvigilance.\\nThe dress of the nurse, especially in long and severe indispositions,\\nis a matter also of some importance, and should never be of a dark or\\nsombre color, but of some light and cheerful material, while tidiness\\nand cleanliness in dress and person are indispensable requisites in the\\nfemale who undertakes the duties of a general or sick nurse. It must\\nnot be supposed, because we have been particular in enumerating all\\nthe qualities, moral and physical, which a nurse .should possess, that we\\nhave overlaid the figure with unattainable virtues, or are in any degree\\nfastidious in our estimate of the average qualifications of the class to\\nwhich we refer on the contrary, a large experience and close obser\\nvation of the subject has impressed on our mind the vast importanct\\nof good nursing in the successful treatment of a long or dangerom\\nsickness; and that, in very many cases, after the turning of a certaii\\npoint in the disease, the final recovery of the patient is far more in Ww\\nhands of the nurse than dependent on the skill of the physician. Th\u00c2\u00ab-\\ndoctor may advise and suggest the general plan of personal attendanct\\nand lay down special dietetic rules for her guidance; but it depend*\\nupon the willingness of the nurse to obey his orders, and to her watch\\nfulness, solicitude, tenderness of manner, and equable temper, whethei\\nthose means and remedies will work beneficially for the patient\\nbodily and mental recovery. We feel, therefore, confident that not au\\nitem of personal qualification set down in the above requisites for a\\nnurse is uncalled for, hypercritical, or could with justice to the patienl\\nbe dispensed with.\\nThere is hardly any vice or moral obliquity in the character of h\\nnurse that might not be endured with impunity, rather than the self\\nopinionated captiousness which some inflated nurses assume. The in\\njury such self-conceited women do to the patient, the medical man, ant^\\nthe happiness of a family, is sometimes excessive.

The friends, taking the talkative\\nnurse at her own estimate, lose confidence in the physician they have\\nconsulted, and request him to call in further advice, resolved never to\\ntrust him again with the life of a friend; while the medical man, whoso\\npractice is censured because the nurse thinks she has seen the same\\ndisease diff erently treated, is injured in credit, if not professionally\\nruined, by the opinionated arrogance of an ignorant and conceited\\nwoman, who, instead of being his humble assistant, becomes his enemy\\nand traducer.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0448.jp2"}, "449": {"fulltext": "Advice to Mothers. 441\\nOf late years, and through the noble example of Miss Nightingale,\\nelian whom no one better understnnds the requisites and benefits of\\ngood nursing, schools have been established where females of a proper\\nage and disposition are duly instructed in all the branches of their re-\\nsponsible duties, and, under a kind of diploma of etticiency, are sent\\nforth to the public as professional nurses.

Small trades-\\nmen s wives, and laundresses, tempted by the fee from a respectable\\nestablishment, are the usual applicants of this class; another set of\\ncandidates, but equally unfitted for the duties, are hospital nurses, and\\nordinary nurses out of employment, or incapaciated by years or in-\\nfirmity for duty in a public institution.

We have already,\\n(n more than one place in this work, observed that good nursing is as\\naccessary to the recovery of a patient as skill and attention on the part\\nof the physician indeed, it is often more so, as in many instances\\nnature is so beneficently active in restoring the powers prostrated by\\ndisease, that in many cases diet and regimen, with judicious nursing,\\nunaided by medical skill or physic, will alone carry the patient through\\na lengthened illness to perfect health and strength. Good nursing,\\nhowever, besides personal solicitude and care, demands means and\\nappliances to render the nurse s attention fully beneficial, and of those\\nmeans or passive agents it will now be our duty to speak.\\nThe sick chamber, or bedroom of the patient, is a subject that de-\\nmands due consideration. In the first place, it should be of consider-\\nable size, and, if the illness is likely to be of some duration, a large\\nroom should be appropriated for the purpose. The room, if posssble,\\nshould have a northern aspect, so as to protect it from the glare of the\\nmid day sun, and, if it can be so arranged, the apartment should abut\\nfrom the house, so as to keep the patient from the noise and bustle of\\nthe family, and be equally removed from the sound of the door bell,\\nand from the datter of the scullery, or the smell of the kitchen.\\nThe room should have a fire-place, and clean-swept chimney; the\\nwindow should have a movable top-sash, and should either face the\\ndoor, or the door should be on a line with the fire-place, to insure a\\ncomplete draught, on which account the chimney-board, if one has\\nbeen used, should be removed. The color of the walls is a matter of\\nvery considerable importance. Green, especially deep or bright green,\\nis always to be avoided equally objectionable, though not equally\\nhurtful, is a paper with a bold staring pattern, with prominent colors.\\nA small geometrical pattern of squares, diamond, or flowere, in hori-\\n29", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0451.jp2"}, "452": {"fulltext": "444 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nzontal or diagonal lines, is equally to be avoided, and, if possible,\\npaper selected of a pale, unobtrusive color, and with such figures on it\\nas the eye may contemplate without perplexity, fatigue or irritation.\\nThe importance of attending to these points is well known to every\\nmedical man who lias had any practice in the treatment of fevers. In\\ntlie llrst case, the greens indicated are always giving off fumes of\\narsenic, which are hurtful, if notdangei ous; and in the other, the brain,\\nla certain stages of the fever, becomes irritated by the positive charac-\\nter of the paper, or exhausted by fruitless attempts to count the num-\\nber of figures or flowers in the several lines. The carpet, bed-curtains,\\nvallance, and all clothes, dresses, or articles of woUen fabric, are to be\\nremoved from the apartment, and only as much furniture as is actually\\nrequired for the use of the patient retained in the room, such as the bed, a\\nfew chairs, two tables, a night-lamp, washing stand, and a strip of\\ncanvas or sacking in front of the bed, or in the line of the doctor or\\nnurse s tread. The bed\u00e2\u0080\u0094 a French bedstead being the best. should be\\nplaced with the head a little way from the wall, accessible on both\\nsides, and in such a situation as to be entirely removed from the current\\nof air betwen the dooi and window, or the window and fire-place. The\\nbed on which the patient lies is also a matter of consequence wool\\nmattresses are in many cases too hard, and feather beds produce great\\niieat, and often become knotty and hard. The spring stuffed mattres?\\nis now frequently ordered by physicians as the best arti\u00c2\u00ab5le, but the\\nFiench spring bed, composed of spiral wires, by yielding to everj\\nmotion of the body, is undoubtedly the best article for the invalid,\\nespecially if covered with a thin hair mattress. Air and water bedf\\nare also occasionally employed, but their great expense acts as a barriei\\nto their general adoption; the use of the latter article, unless in the\\nliands of a skillful nurse, is apt to be attended with great risk, as from\\nthe greater weiglit of the liipsand trunk, that portion of the body sinks\\ntlirowing the legs and head forward. To obviate this objection to Di\\nArnott s otherwise admirable water bed, a thin hair mattress anq\\nbolster should be laid over the top and head, when every motion o(\\nthe patient will be met by a corresponding motion of the fluctuating\\nmedium beneath him. The amount of bedclothes employed must b i\\nleft to the judgment of the nurse, to the season of the year, the nature oi\\nthe disease, and the feelings of the patient. Air pillows and cushion)\\nshould always form a portion of the bed-furniture, the first for ordi\\ndary purposes of rest, and the latter to relieve particular parts of thv\\nbody from undue pressure, and in cases of bed-sores. A pole, or piec*-\\nof lancewood, should be placed across the framework of the top of tht\\nbed, to which a short sling, containing a round piece of wood for the\\nhands, should be attached, so that the |)atient may be able to raise\\nhimself in the bed without always being dependent on the assistance\\nof the nurse. The next item of consequence is an easy chair with a\\nmovable back, in which the patient can recline or sit eiect, according\\nto the elevation or depression of the back and foot-board. There\\nshould also be a sofa or couch in the room, on vvhich he can be placed\\nAvhile the bed is being made, or at any time for change. Two tables\\nare also necessary a small one, to stand near the bed, to contain the\\ndrink, medicine, or fruit in common use, with the glasses and vessels\\nout of which each article is to be taken; and a large table, with an\\neasily opening drawer, at the end of the room. On this table should\\nbe arranged all the medicines not in constant use,\u00e2\u0080\u0094 the lotions, colly-\\nriums, and external applications by themselves at one side, and the\\ninternal remedies at the other.

A green or\\nslate-colored calico blind should be attached to the window, to darken\\nthe room when required. The night-lamp, to afford light, and heat\\nfood or water, should always be in readiness, which, with a couple of\\nsmall white vessels, made for the purpose, to hold the expectoi-ation in\\ncases of consumption, can be arranged on the washing stand. These,\\nwith a sponge, towels, soap, and water, are almost everything which a\\nsick-room can require, except on special occasions.\\nCleanliness is one of the most imperative requisites of a sick-room\\nand, to be effective for good, must be carried out in every particular.\\nThe tloor should be carefully swept every morning, the strip of canvas,\\nused to deaden the tread, well shaken in the air before being relaid;\\nthe glasses, cups, and spoons washed and and dried after every time of\\nuse; every discharge from the body, plasters, dressings, or dirtj\\nbandages, are to be instantly taken from the room, and no utensil\\nbrought back luitil well cleaned and dried.

Though 60\u00c2\u00b0 Fahrenheit is regarded as the standard degree of\\ntemperature, it is often desirable to reduce that amount to 69\u00c2\u00b0 or 58\u00c2\u00b0,\\nor indeed even lower in some cases of hemorrhage. To effect this, a\\n-strong current must be established, either by partially opening the\\ndoor or window, or by lighting a small fire for few minutes in the\\ngrate, and, lastly, by means of evaporation to be presently described.\\nWhen it is necessary to raise the temperature above 60\u00c2\u00b0, the strong\\ncurrents are to be suspended for a time, the door and window securely\\nclosed, and a fire lighted in the grate, and the reading of the ther-\\nuiomeler carefully attended to till the desired temperature has been\\nreached, care being then taken to prevent the heat increasing or fluctu-\\niiting.\\nVentilation. A free and perfect ventilation is one of the most\\nnecessary properties of the sick-room, as on it depends so much of the\\ncomfort of the patient, as well as much of his hopes of a final recovery.\\nTo convey a clearer idea of the importance of good ventilation to the\\nwelfare of the invalid, it will be suflacient if in this place we mention\\nthat a healthy man enclosed in a room, requires four cubic feet\\nof fresh air each minute for the due performance of all his functions,\\nand that he vitiates, or renders poisonous, about a hundred and\\nTHIRTY CUBIC INCHES every minute, by expiration from the lungs and\\nskin. If this fact is borne in mind, the absolute importance of an\\nabundance of pHre air to the patient will become still more evident,\\nespecially as, in some diseases, an increased amount of oxygen becomes\\na vital necessity. Independent of supplying an abundance of pure air\\nto the patient, ventilation is of the utmost consequence, not only in\\npurifying the room, but in carrying from the atmosphere that sur-\\nrounds tbe sick person those minute particles of morbific matter wbich", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0453.jp2"}, "454": {"fulltext": "446 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nare always given off from an unliealthy body, and, especially in certain\\ncontagious diseases, load the air with their poisonous particles, and\\nwhich, if imbibed into the lungs of a healthy person, may there ger-\\nminate into another poisonous disease, besides being re-absorbed by the\\ninvalid himself, thus keeping alive a malady which, by exhalation and\\nfree ventilation, might have been weakened :.nd greatly benefited.\\nThe two great sources of ventilation are the window and the chimney;\\nthe one carrying off the upper stratum of impure air, and the other\\nthose heavier gases and impure atmosphere which specific gravity\\nkeeps floating over the surface of the floor. As the door in both in-\\nstances is the direction from whieh the current of fresh air comes, care\\nshould be taken that no mat inside or outside impedes the free access\\nof air, and should the door fit tightly above to the lintel, a plane should\\nbe passed along the top, to allow of the entrance of a stream of air\\nfrom the passages beyond. The to p sash of the window is only pait\\nthat should be opened, and that but for the space of a fevv inches,\\nmerely sufficient to cause a strong draught, and this only from time to\\ntime, as occasion may require.\\nShould the window not open from above, a piece of the top of each\\ncorner pane should be broken out, and a slip of paste-board nailed to\\nthe frame above, to hang down like a valve over the broken glass, and\\nwhich can be pushed up or let down, according as ventilation is\\nrequired. The effluvium which sometimes pervades a sick chiiinl er,\\nand which is quite as hurtful to the patient as it is ofl ensive to the healthy\\nperson who imbibes it, cannot be overcome by mere ventilation, as the\\ndraught necessary to do so in a reasonable time might be of serious\\nconsequences to the patient; nor must any attempt be made to over-\\npower one smell by the establishment of another, such as by the burn-\\ning of brown paper, feathers, sprigs of lavender, pastiles, or aromatic\\nvinegar, articles which are all, except pastiles, excellent in their place\\nto refresh the atmosphere of a sick chamber at proper times, but be-\\ncome most objectionable when offensive odors are present. In ;ili\\nsuch cases, disinfectants alone should be used, and as chloride of lime\\nis so extremely cheap, there can be no excuse for not employing it on\\nall occasions. A teaspoon of the chloride, dissolved in half a p nt of\\nwater, and in the following manner, will soon correct all unplensant\\nsmells. Having dissolved the chloride of lime in a basin, a napkin is\\nto be dipped in the solution, roughly squeezed out and then susjjended\\non a line between the door and window, and the rest oftiic solution poured\\ninto a couple of saucers, and placed on tlie floor for about a quartei-\\nof an hour, when the ventilator being opened for a few minutes will\\nleave the air of the chamber perfectly pure. Linen rags, or a towel\\nwetted in chloride of zinc or tin, or tlie nitrate of lead, and waved\\nabout the room for some time, will answer the same puipose, aiid\\nequally as well.\\nAttendance on the Patient.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 It cannot be too .strongly impressed\\non the mind of all who mav be called on to minister to the wants of\\nthe sick, that every attention given, every service rendered, .should be\\nperformed with the least possible noise and demonstration,\u00e2\u0080\u0094 the step\\nshould be light and noiseless, the voice low and kind, and the service,\\nwhatever it maybe, rendered with gentleness, care, and dispatch, but\\nin no hurry or officious haste.

The importance of attending to the thorough airing of every\\narticle before being put on the patient s body will be understood when\\nwe state, that so great and continuous is the ev ,)oration always\\ntaking place from water, the surface of the walls, and the bodies of\\nihe patient and nurse, that a night-shirt kept in the sick chamber for\\ntwenty-four hours, and weighed befere and after drying, was found to\\nhave lost four ounces, or a quarter of a pound in vteight, by the driving\\ni)ff of that amount of water, absorbed by the night-shirt in one day\\nand night. From this it will be seen what a large proportion of\\nwatery vapor is taken up in a few hours by the different items of our\\ndaily wear, the amount retained bj linen and cotton being, of course,\\nvery much less than that taken up by woolen and more porous gar-\\nments. Where the whole of the patient s body cannot be washed every\\nday, the lower extremities, and as much as possible of the rest of the\\ntrunk, should be freely rubbed with dry towels.\\nDuties of the Nurse. Of the moral and physical qualities of the\\nnurse we have already spoken, under the head of Nurse, which see;\\nit only now remains for us to point out the duties which devolve upon\\nthat individual when in charge of the sick-room, and entrusted with\\nthe responsibility of the patient during the absence of the medical,\\nman. In the lirst place, the nurse should regard herself, and be so\\nconsidered by the relatives and friends, as the doctor s loaim tene is,\\n.nnl invested with absolute control over the patient and sick-ro( m\\nduring his absence. It is to the nurse, or that member of the famJy\\nwho officiates as such, that the physician conveys liis instructions; lo\\nhim she makes all reports, and to her general disrection he commits\\nthe well-being of his patient during that long portion of every day in\\nwhich he is necessitated to absent himself from the bedside of the\\ninvalid. To the nurse s judgement is left tlie duty of preventing too\\nmany visitors from seeing the patient at one time, or in one day, and", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0455.jp2"}, "456": {"fulltext": "4^8 Appendix to Medical Department.\\nof taking care that he is in no way tampered with, and nothing in tb\u00c2\u00ab\\nway of food, fruit, or drink given to him, on anj pretence whatever, ir\\nopposed to the regulations laid down by the doctor. A few spoonfuls\\nof what may be deemed a grateful and harmless substance, to those\\nwho plead for its being given, may, if it should not prove actually hurt-\\nful, counteract the effective operation of some medicine on which the\\nphysician has relied for beneficial results. These, then, are two impor-\\ntant duties devolving on the nurse, and which she should never allow\\nherself to be overruled in executing. The dress of the nurse, besides\\nbeing, like lier person, always scrupulously clean, should be of some\\nunobtrusive color, and of a material that will make no rustling noise\\nwhen she goes about her duties. The cleanliness of the room, with\\nthat of the glasses, cups, and every utensil or article used, cannot be\\ninsisted on too forcibly; she should range all the bottles on the reserve\\ntable, as we have directed, with the label of each turned outwards, and\\nmake a practice of never giving any medicine without first looking at\\ntlie, direction. She should have a small slate always at hand, on which\\nto make notes of any special instruction given by the doctor, or of faci^-\\nthat may have occurred in his absence. She must remove to anotliei\\nroom all that passes from the patient, which, unless kept for after ii.\\nspection, should be directly emptied; have the vessel washed out\\nrinsed with chloride of lime, and dried before returning them to Wx*\\nroom. If the secretions are to be kept, she must be careful that noth\\ning is thrown in, or mixed with them, as their entire character may hr\\naltered by emptying medicines, tea, or other articles on either.\\nThe personal cleanliness of the patient is one of the nurse s firs-\\nduties, for, besides the daily washing of the face, neck, and arms, ii\\nsometimes affords him great comfort to have the same operation\\nrepeated in the evening, and if the skin is washed with warm watei\\nand soap, and then properly dried, there is no fear of his taking cold\\nIf the patient can bear the fatigue, clean linen night and morning slioulo\\nbe put on, each change being properly aired. When he is able to lit\\non the sofa for a few hours, or sit up in the easy chair, the nurse shoul(^\\ncarry awav all the bedclothes, and expose tliem in another apartmeu\\nto a freer ventilation. When the patient unable to bear the farigm\\nof removal to the sofa lias to sit up in bed, the nurse must contrivi\\nsome support for his back; and r this purpose a child s chair placet\\nat the head of the bed, and protected oy one or two pillows, will afford\\na comfortable rest for the back, when, if the lately invented bed-table\\nwhich, attached to the side of the bed, and extending its leaf over th\u00c2\u00bb-\\nclothes, can be procured, he may sit for hours, and take his meals witl-\\ntolerable comfort. When the patient has to be moved, and the nurse\\nis unable to carry him bodily from the bed to the sofa, she and\\nanother should make a chair of their arms, and, lifting him at the\\nsame time, remove their burden with as little jar or fatigue as possible.\\nWhen, from exhaustion, this method is impossible, the patient mustbt-\\ntaken up bodily by four persons in the sheet on which he lies, and in\\nthat manner transported from one bed to another. There is one most\\nimperative duty of the nurse in cases of long sickness, where the in-\\nvalid is compelled to remain long in one position, and that is a daily\\nand accurate inspection of the skin of the back, so as to be able to\\ndetect the first aiiproach of injury from pressure, and so guard against\\nthe serious consequences of bed-sores; this she must effect by dusting\\nthe part that looks angry with violet powder, and, by placing air\\ncushions under the body, relieve the place affected from furtlier i)re\u00c2\u00ab\\nsure. The nurse should also know, that in inflammatory diseases, if", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0456.jp2"}, "457": {"fulltext": "Advice to Mothers. 44^\\nthe first dose of medicine produces sickness, she mitst not therefore\\nwithhold the second that if a sudden emetic is wanted, a teaspoon of\\nsalt or a tablespoon of mustard, in half a pint of warm water, will\\nproduce vomiting; that to increase tlie action of the saline aperients,\\ndraughts of water are necessary; while to promote perspiration, warm\\ndrinks, extra hedclothcs, and hot water to the feet are required. Of\\nall the qualities of a good nurse, however, that of being willing to\\nfollow implicitly the directions of the medical man is unqnestionablyk\\nthe best, and she who will conscientiously do this, may be safely trust\\ned in all else.\\nWEANING. The proper time when the infant should be taken\\nfrom the breast, and subjected to artificial dietary, is generally a sub-\\nject of some anxiety to mothers. The exact time when this change\\nshould take place must, however, always be an open question, depend-\\ning on the strengtli or weakness of the child, and the health and capa/-\\nbility of the mother for the duty of a wet nurse. When mother and\\nchild are both in a fair condition of health, the general time of wean-\\nui^ the infant is between the ninth and twelfth month; should the\\n\u00c2\u00abhild, however, be very backward with its teeth, and have only cut\\none or two by the latter period, the time of weaning should be post-\\nponed for a few weeks or months. As a general rule, when nature\\nhas placed a sufficient number of teeth in the infant s mouth to enable\\n\u00c2\u00bbt to mumble the soft aliment on which it is fed, the time has arrived to\\nmake it independent of its nurse. All prudent mothers, however, will\\ngradually anneal their infants to the change by beginning to feed\\nchem once, twice, and finally three times a day for some few weeks be-\\nfore absolute weaning, at the same time reducing the number of times\\nof daily suckling by this means the process is made easy and gradual,\\ni\u00c2\u00bbnd the children are in a great measure spared the distress consequent\\nv*n a-i abrupt change.\\nSome mothers, in the hope of preventing another pregnancy, are\\nm tlie habit of keeping their infants at the breast till they are old\\n(\u00e2\u0080\u00a2nough to ask for it; this is a great mistake, and is certain to act in-\\n;uriously on the health of the parent. See Advice to mothers, and\\nInfants.\\nWETTING THE BED.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 This accident, so frequently occurring to\\nchildren, and so well known to mothers, demands careful and vigilant\\ntttention. Parents and nurses have hitherto regarded this as a bad\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2ind careless habit of the child s and one rather demanding reprehen-\\ndon and correction than inquiry or medical investigation this, how-\\never, is often a grave mistake, as the child in its sleep can no more\\navoid the involuntary discharge than it can resist the lethargy of sleep.\\nThe CAUSE of this incontinence of ui-ine in chililren arises from two\\nsources in particular the first is the peculiar alkaline condition of the\\nwater, which, acting like a corrosive lye on the coats of the bladder,\\nexcites that organ to the involuntary action which results in the\\npassage of the urine; the second is the presence in the bowels, particu-\\nlarly in the rectum, of a number of worms, which, irritating the\\nnerves of the part, sympathetically alTect the bladder directly above,\\nwliich receives some of its nerves from the aame plexus. Crude fruit,\\nor other causes of irritation in the bowels, may produce the same\\nresult, thougli the above two are the most frequent.\\nInstead, therefore, of alarming the child by the fear of punishment,\\nthe mother will do well to discover as far as possible which of these\\ncauses induces a child formerly cleanly in his habits to commit this\\nnocturnal fi:ux pas.

Tlie asphalt prevents the acid\\nfrom eating or etching only the letter, and the wax wall prevents\\nthe acid from flowing off and being wasted. When you pour off the\\nacid, wash the glass with a little water, scrape off the wax, and re-\\nmove the asphalt with a little turpentine and all is done.\\nThe above directions are for plain glass; but if you desire, you can\\ngild the letter which is etched (eat out), or you can gild all except the\\nletter, if desired, as described in the recipe for Door Plates, or you\\ncan grind the surface of the glass, as described under the head of\\nGlass-grinding for Signs, Shades, etc. This applies equally well to\\nflashed, or what is called stained glass, worked in the same way\\nas above, putting the design or letters upon the stuined side, which\\neats away color and leaves the design clean and white; or you can\\netch only a part of the way through the stain, which shows up the\\nletter or flower lighter in color than the rest of the glass, which make.\u00c2\u00ab\\nit look very beautiful for side-lights in halls, lamps, druggists win\\ndows, etc.\\nThere ai-e two kinds of colored glass one is called Potmetal,\\nthe other Flashed. The pot-metal glass is made by mixing the\\nstain or coloring with melted glass, while making, and, consequently is\\nalike all the way through. The stained glass is made by applying the\\ncolor to one side of the glass after it is made, then applying sufficient\\nheat to allow it to take hold of the glass only the color is all on one\\nside; this is the kind desired.\\nIf it is desired to etch upon druggists or other jars, it can be done\\nby prej aring the name to be put on, with the varnish and wax; then\\nhave a lead box without top or bottom, in shape on tiie lower edge to\\nflt the shape of the jar, and press this down upon the wax to make it\\ntight; then pour your acid into the box, which keeps it in its place, the\\nsame as the wax does on a flat surface. Ornaments or flourishes can\\nbe put on as well as letters.\\nThe old plan was to cover the whole surface with wax, then re-\\nmove it from the letter, which was very slow and troublesome, and if\\na bit of wax remained upon the bottle, the acid could not cut where\\nthe wax remained, then to hold tlie glass over the fumes of the acid,\\ninstead of putting the acid on the glass.\\n2.

Give each coat time to dry. When it is\\nIry and hard, sand-paper it to a perfectly smooth surface, wlien it is\\nready to receive the finish, which consists of two coats of French zinc\\nground in, and thinned with Demar-varnish, until it works properly\\ninder the brush.\\nMr. Miles, of this city, one of our scientific painters, has been\\n\u00c2\u00abufficiently kind to furnish me this i-ecipe, prepared expressly for this\\nwork; therefore, the most explicit confidence may be placed in it; yet\\nany one can judge for themselves from the nature of the articles used,\\nthat it must be white and hard. He goes on to say that if the French\\n\u00c2\u00abinc in varnish cannot be procured, the varnish may be whitened with\\neinc ground in oil, as a very good substitute, being careful not to use\\ntoo much, in which case it will diminish the gloss, and be more liable\\nto turn yellow. A little turpentine or naphtha may be added, if too\\nthick to work well, but in no instance should oil be used to thin the\\npaint.\\nThis finish, if properly applied, is very beautiful, and although\\npurely white, may be kept clean more easily than other kinds of paint-\\ning by simply using a dusting brush; or if soiled, a sponge wet in cold\\n%oft water without soap, is the better way.\\nN. B. Not a particle of white-lead should be used where this\\nfinish is to be applied, either in the priming, or any subsequent coats,\\nor a brush that has been used in lead without being thoroughly\\ncleansed, as a yellow hue will soon present itself, which is caused by a\\nchemical change taking place between the lead and zinc.\\nPAINTERS ECONOMY IN MAKINtt COLORS.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Prussian Blue.\\nIst.

Heat tlie picks to only a cherry red and plunge\\nthem ill and do not draw any temper. In working mill-picks, be very\\ncareful not to overheat them, but work them at as low a heat as possi-\\nble. The reason why so many fail in making good picks, is that they\\ndon t work them at a s low heat as they should. With care upon that\\npoint, and the above fluid, no trouble will be exi)erienced, even on the\\nbest diamond burrs. Be sure to keep the preparation covered when\\naot in use, as it is poison. Pigs or dogs might drink of it, if left un-\\ncovered. This is the mixture which has gained nie the name of hav-\\ning the best preparation in use for mill-picks, and the certificates on\\ntnis subject, but as I have some others which aie very highly spoken\\nof, I give you a few others.\\n2.

But, why do so many\\nfail The whole secret lies in this, that many persons can never handle a\\nhorse, with all the instruction in tlie world it is not in tliem. They can-\\nnot establish a sympathy between themselves and the horse, and if\\nthey become horse trainers, they ha^ e only mistaken their calling, and\\nthe money they laid out is perhaps as cheap a way as they could be\\ntaught their mistake.\\nTo be a successful horse trainer, he must have a sympathy with the\\nhorse, and a personal power of control. Tliis reminds us of an old\\ngentleman s remarks on the subject of sweeny. He said There were\\na great many recipes of penetrating oils, applications, etc., but the\\ngreat secret was in /at7/t, without which no person will persevere a\\nsufficient length of time with either of them. This holds good in all\\ndiseases, as well as in handling or taming a horse.\\nThe mysteiy or secret, then, is in knowing how, and having the\\nstamina (power) to do it.\\nAs for recipes, they consist in using the horse-castor or wart,\\nwhich grows upon the inside of the leg, grated fine, oil of cumin, and\\noil of rhodium, kept separate in air-tight bottles; these all possess\\npeculiar piopeities for attracting and subduing animals.\\nKub a little oil of cumin upon your hand, and approach the\\nhorse in the field, on the windward side, so that he can smell the cumin.\\nTlie horse will let you come up to him without trouble.\\nImmediately rub yoiu- hand gently on the horse s nose, getting a\\nlittle of the oil oil it. You can then lead him anywhere. Give him a\\nlittle of the castor on a piece of loaf-sugar, apple, or potato.\\nPut eight drops of the oil of rhodium into a lady s thimble. Take\\nthe thimble between the tiiumb and middle finger of your right hand,\\nwith the fore-tinger stopping the mouth of the thimble to prevent the\\noil from running out whilst you are opening the mouth of the horse.\\nAs soon as you have opened the horse s mouth, tip the thimble\\nover upon his tongue, and he is your servant.

You will\\nsee that Mr. Rarey s system is exactly the same.\\nFrom the foregoing it will be seen that he ohtainedthe knowledge,\\nand naturally possessing the firmness,/earfes\u00c2\u00ab energy and muscle suffi-\\ncient to back the whole, he has become the horse tamer of the world.\\nWithout all these qualifications no one need undertake the busi-\\nness, no matter how often he pays five dollars for recipes or instruc-\\nUon.\\n32", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0499.jp2"}, "500": {"fulltext": "49iA\\nDr. Chase s Recipes:\\nPulmonary artery.\\nLeft auricle.\\nLeft ventricle.\\nThe trunk of the a\\nAorta anterior.\\nAorta posterior.\\nAjiillary artery.\\n6.

If the horse is weak through travel, giyt\\nhim a pint of warm ale, with 1 oz. of diapente in it.

Keep\\n%he pores of the skin open by perfect cleanliness. Be moderate in eat-\\ning and drinking. Do not often frequent crowded assemblies, and\\nihun cosmetics, and washes for the skin. We will give a few harmless\\nrecipes. But most of the powders and washes used dry up the skin,\\nand in the end make it rough.\\nBe careful always in washing to wipe your skin dry, particularly\\nyour hands; rub them briskly for some time. If hands are left moist\\nafter washing, they will chap, crack and become red. Honey is ex-\\ncellent to rub over chapped hands, or anoint them with cold cream or\\nglycerine before retiring to rest.\\nIf you desire to make your hands delicate, wash them in hot milk\\nund water for a day or two; on retiring to rest rub them with palm\\noil, and put on gloves wash them well in the morning. Lime w ater,\\nlemon-juice, or sour-milk will remove the sunburn from hands. Above\\nnil, keep the nails scrupulously clean.\\nComplexion, to Improve it. Be cheerful; get as much fresh air\\nm-doors and out-doors, as possible. Keep in health; promote a good\\ndigestion, and regular evacuations; avoid alcoholic drinks; a milk and\\nvegetable diet makes a fair complexion plain living, without condi-\\nments and hot seasonings, etc,, makes the fairest face. It is good to\\nrise early in the morning, drink a cup of milk, walk into the fields, wash\\nthe face in sparkling dew, gaze on creation, below, above, and all\\naround you, till mental pleasure beams forth on your face in radiant\\nsmiles.

Graham Bread. I find in Zion s Herald, of Boston, edited by\\nitv*. E. O. Haven, formerly a Professor in the University at this city,\\nft l \u00c2\u00bbw remarks upon the Different Kinds of Bread, including Gra-\\nhaui, which so fully explain the philosophy and true principles of\\nbroad-making, that I give them an insertion, for the benefit of bread-\\nmakers. It says\\nRice flour added to wheat flour, enables it to take up an in-\\ncreased quantity of water. [See the New French Method of Mak-j\\ning Bread. Boiled and mashed potatoes mixed with the dough,\\ncause the bread to retain moisture, and prevent it from drying and\\ncrumbling. Rye makes a dark-colored bread; but it is capable of be-\\ning fermented and raised in the same manner as wheat. It retains its\\nfreshness and moisture longer than wheat. An admixture of rye flour\\nwith that of wheat, decidedly improves the latter in this respect. In-\\ndian corn bread is much used in this country. Mixed with wheat and\\nye, a dough is produced capable of fermentation, but pure maize meal\\n:annot be fermented so as to form a light bread. Its gluten lacks the\\nenacious quality necessary to produce the regular cell -structure. It is\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2nost commonly used in the form of cakes, made to a certain degree\\night by eggs or sour milk, and saleratus, and is generally eaten warm.\\nudian coi n is ground into meal of various degrees of coarseness, but\\n6 never made so fine as wheaten flour. Bread or cakes from maize\\nrequire a considerably longer time to be acted upon by heat in the\\nuking process, than wheat or rye. If ground wheat be unbolted, tha\\n18, if its bran be not separated, wheat meal or Graham flour results,\\nfrom which Graham or dyspepsia bread is produced. It is made ii-\\nthe same general way as other wheaten bread, but requires a little pc-\\n*uliar management. Upon this poiat, Mr. Graham remarks\\nThe wheat meal, and especially if it is ground coarsely, swells\\nconsiderably in the dough, and therefore the dough should not at first\\nbe made quite so stiff as that made of superfine flour; and when it is\\naised, if it is found too soft to mould well, a little more meal may be\\nidded. It should be remarked that dough made of wheat meal will\\ncake on the acetous fermentation, or become sour sooner than that\\nm;\u00c2\u00bbde of fine flour. It requires a hotter oven, and to be baked longer,\\nhut must not stand 3 long after being mixed, before baking, as that\\ntiade from flour.\\n3. Brown Bread Biscuit. Take corn meal, 2 qts. rye flour, 3\\npts. wheat flour, 1 pt. molasses, 1 table-spoon; yeast, 3 table-spoons,\\nhaving soda. tea-spoon, mixed with it\\nKnead over night, for breakfast. If persons will eat warm bread,\\nthis, or buckwlieat short-cake, should be the only kinds eaten.\\n4. Dyspeptics Biscuit aad Cofifee. Take Graham flour (wheat\\ncoarsely ground, without bolting,) 2 qts.; corn meal, sifted, 1 qt. but-\\nter, cup; molasses, 1 cup; sour milk, to wet it up, with saleratus, as\\nfor biscuit.\\nRoll out and cut with a tea-cup, and bake as other biscuit; and\\nwhen cold they are just the thing for dyspeptics. And if the flour was\\nsifted, none would refuse to eat them.\\nFor the Coffee. Continue the baking of the above biscuit in a\\nslow oven for six or seven hours, or until they are browned through\\nlike coff ee.\\nDirections. One buiscuit boiled of an hour will be plenty\\nfor 2 or 3 cups of coftee, and 2, for 6 persons.

London Baker s Superior Loaf Bread.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The Michigan Far-\\nmer gives us the following any one can see that it contains sound\\nsense\\nTo make a half-peck loaf, take lb. of well boiled mealy pota-\\ntoes, mash them through a fine colander or coarse sieve add pt. of\\nyeast, or oz. of German dried-yeast, and 1% pts. of lukewarm\\nwater, (88 deg. Fahr.,) together with lb. of flour, to render the mix-\\nture the consistence of thin batter. This mixture is to be set aside to\\nferment. If set in a warm place it will rise in less than 2 hours, when\\nit resembles yeast, except in color. The sponge so made is then to be\\nmixed wiih 1 pt. of water, nearly blood warm viz., 92 deg. Fahr.,\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\nand poured into a half-peck of flour, which has previously had IJ^ ozs.\\nof salt mixed into it. The whole should then be kneaded into dougli,\\nand allowed to rise in a warm place for 2 hours, when it should t\u00c2\u00ab\\nkneaded into loaves and baked.\\nThe object of adding the mashed potatoes is to increase the amount\\nof fermentation in the sponge, which it does to a very remarkable dc\\ngree, and consequently renders the bread lighter and better. The po\\ntatoes will also keep the bread moist.\\n6. Old Bachelor s Bread, Biscuit, or Pie-Crust.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Flour, 1 qt,\\ncream-of -tartar, 2 tea-spoons soda, tea-spoon sweet milk, to we*\\nup the flour to the consistence of biscuit dough.\\nRub the flour and cream-of -tartar well together; dissolve the soda\\nin the milk, wetting up the flour with it, and bake immediately. If yon\\nhave no milk, use water in its place, adding a spoon of lard to obtain\\nthe same richness. It does well for pie-crust, where you cannot keej^\\nup sour milk.\\n7. New French Method of Making Bread.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Take rice, X lb. tlk\\nit up in a thick linen bag, giving ample room to swell boil it from I\\nto 4 hours, or until it becomes a perfect paste mix this while waroi\\nwith 7 lbs. of flour, adding the usual quantities of yeast and salt allow\\nthe dough to work a proper time near the fire, then divide into loaves\\nDust them in, and knead vigorously.\\nThis quantity of flour and rice makes about thirteen and one-halt\\npounds of bread, which will keep moist much longer than without the\\nrice.

It gives\\nbeauty also to biscuit, ginger cakes, and is just the thing for rusk, by\\nputting in a little sugar.\\n3. Apple Pie which is Digestible. Instead of mixing up your\\ncrust with water and lard, or butter, making it very rich, with shorten-\\ning, as customary for apple pies\\nMix it up every way just as you would for biscuit, using sour milk\\nand saleratus, with a little lard or butter only mix the dough quite\\nstiflf, roll out rather thin, lay it upon your tin, or plate; and having\\nripe apples sliced or chopped nicely and laid on, rather thick, and\\nsugar accoi-ding to the acidity of the apples, then a top crust, and bake\\nwell, putting the ^gg upon the crusts, as mentioned in the Pie-Crust\\nGlaze, and you have got a pie that is fit to eat.\\nBut when you make the rich crust, and cook the apples and put\\nthem on, it soaks the crust, which does not bake, and no stomach can\\ndigest it, whilst our way gives you a nice light crust, and does not take\\nhalf the shortening of the other plan. Yet perhaps nothing is saved\\npecuniarily, as butter goes as finely with the biscuit-crust pies, when\\nhot, as it does with biscuit; but the pie is digestible, and when it is cold\\ndoes not taste bad to cut it up on your plate, with plenty of sweetened\\ncream.\\n4. Apple Custard Pie The Nicest Pie ever Eaten. Peel sour\\napples and stew until soft and not much water left in them; then rub\\nthem through a colander beat 3 eggs for each pie to be baked; and\\nput in at the rate of 1 cup of butter and 1 of sugar for 3 pies season\\nwith nutmeg.\\nMj^ wife has more recentlj made them with onlj- 1 e^g to each\\npie, with only half of a cup of butter and sugar each, to 4 or 5 pies;\\nbut the amount of sugar must be governed somewhat b} the acidity of\\nthe apples.\\nBake as pumpkin pies, which they lesemble in appearance; and\\nbetween them and apple pies in taste very nice indeed. We find\\nthem equally nice with dried apples, by making them a little more\\njuicy.\\nIf a frosting was put upon them, as in the Lemon Pie, then\\nreturned, for a few moments, to the oven, the appearance, at least,\\nwould be improved.\\n5.

It should not be suffered to stop boiling.\\nThe cloth, when about to be used, should be dipped into boiling\\nwater, squeezed dry, and floured; and when the pudding is done, have\\na pan of cold water ready, and dip it in for a moment, as soon as it\\ncomes out of the pot, which prevents tlie pudding from sticking to the\\ncloth.

The difference between\\ncommon preserves, jellies, and jams, is this: Preserves are made by\\ntaking fruit and sugar, pound for pound, and simph cooking them to-\\nfrether until tlie fruit is done.\\n13. Jellies are made by squeezing and straining out tlie juice\\nanly, of the fruit; then taking a pound of sugar for a pound of juice,\\nand cooking until it jells, which is told by taking out a little upon a\\ncold plate.\\n14. Jams are made by weighing the whole fruit, washing, slic-\\ning, and putting in suflicient water to cook it well, then, when cool,\\nrubljing it through a fine sieve, and with this pulp, putting in as much\\nsugar as there was of tlie fruit only, and cooking it very carefully, until\\nihe weight of the jam is the same as the fruit and added sugar; the\\nwater, you see, is all gone; and this is easily told by having previously\\nweigiied the kettle in wliich you are cooking it. The jam, if nicely\\ndone, contains more of the fruit flavor than the jell, and is as valuable\\nas the jell to put into water as a drink for invalids; and better for\\nflavoring syrups for soda fountains, etc. Strawberries, raspberries,\\nblackberries, peaches, and pine-apples, make very nice jams for flavor-\\ning syrups.

On wringing out the second liquor, dip each\\npiece into cold hard water for finishing. Shake out well, and dry\\nquickly. If starch is desired, it may be stirred into the rinsing water.\\nWashing. To save your linen and your labor pour on half a\\npound of soda two quarts of boiling water, in an earthenware pan;\\ntake half a pound of soap, shred fine; put it into a saucepan with two\\nquarts of cold water; stand it on a fire till it boils; and when perfectly\\ndissolved and boiling, add it to the former. Mix it well, and let it\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0^tand till cold, when it will have the appearance of a strong jelly. Let\\nrour linen be soaked in water, the seams and any other soiled part\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2ubbed in the usual way, and remain till the following morning. Get\\nrour copper ready, and add to tlie water about a pint basin full when\\nVkkewarmi put in your linen, and allow it to boil for twenty minutes,\\nftinse it in the usual way, and that is all which is necessary to get it\\nclean, and to keep it in good color. The above recipe is invaluable ta\\nlousekeepers. If you have not tried it, do so without delay.\\nWhen water is hard, and will not readily unite with soap, it will\\nalways be proper to boil it before use; which will be found sufficiently\\nefficacious, if the hardness depends solely upon the impregnation of\\nlime. Even exposure to the atmosphere will produce this effect in a\\n^reat degree upon spring water so impregnated, leaving it much fitter\\nfor lavatory purposes. In both cases the water ought to be carefully\\npoured off from the sediment, as the neutralized hme, when freed from\\nits extra quantity of carbonic acid, falls to the bottom by its own\\ngravity. To economize the use of soap, put any quantity of pearlash\\ninto a large jar, covered from the dust in a few days the alkali will\\nbecome liquid, which must be diluted in double its quantity of soft\\nwater, with an equal quantity of new-slacked lime. Boil it half an\\nhour, frequently stirring it; adding as much more hot water, and\\ndrawing off the liquor, when the residuum may be boiled afresh, and\\ndrained, until it ceases to feel acrid to the tongue.\\nWater, To Purify.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 Put into it powdered charcoal, then filter\\nthrough a compressed sponge, and it will become perfectly sweet,\\nhowever impure previously.\\nWater may be filtered and purified by means of a deep flower-\\npot, with a compressed sponge in the hole at the bottom.

This compound, on being warm-\\ned very gently, may be poured out into a mixture of wheat flour\\nand sugar, incorporated therewith, and then flavoui-ed with oil of rho-\\ndium, or not, at pleasure. The flavor may be varied with oil of ani-\\nseed, etc. This dough, being made into pellets, is to be laid in rat-\\nholes. By its luminousness in the dark, it attracts their notice, and be-\\ning agreeable to their palates and noses, it is readily eaten, and proves\\nceii^inly fatal.\\nRats, to Destroy. Mix powdered nux vomica, with oatmeal,\\ncrumbs of cheese, and a quantity of lard, for a few nights omit the nux\\nvomica, till they become familiar with the other food. Or, add, instead\\nof nux vomica, powdered phosphorus. Mix with a piece of wood, that\\nthe rats may not scent your hands. Place it beyond the reach of other\\nanimals. The addition of a little oil of amber attracts the rats. Or,\\ncut cork into very fine bits, and fry them with lard and cheese crumbs.\\nWhen cold, add oil of amber to entice them. Or, take oil of amber,\\nox-gall, and powdered phosphorus, in equal parts, add oatmeal suffi-\\ncient to form a paste, which make into little balls, and lay them near\\nthe places visited by rats, surround the balls with vessels full of wa-\\nter. The smell of the oil attracts the rats; they greedily devour the\\nballs, which make them thirstj and they kill themselves with drinking\\nthe water.\\nThe asphodel is useful in driving away rats and mice, which have\\nsuch an antipathy to this plant, that if their holes be stopped up with it\\ntliey will rather die than pass.\\nIt is a good thing to put gas-tar in the runs and holes of rats.\\nWhen once daubed with it they will come no more.\\nFeed them well for a week with fresh oatmeal, every day; but nev-\\nertouch it with your hand; put it into a dish pressed down that you\\nmay see what they have eaten. Then mix anotiier lot with four drops\\nof oil of aniseed, or oil of rhodium feed with this two or three days\\nmore. Then give the following mixture: To 4 ozs. of dry oatmeal\\nscented with 6 drops of oil of aniseed, add 3 oz. of carbonated bar-\\nytes, or nux vomica in powder, sifted through muslin.

If not, and thert-\\nis no wind, rain must follow. A red evening poitends fine weather,\\nbut if it spread too far upwards from the horizon in the evening, and\\nespecially in the morning, it foretells wind or rain, or both. When\\nthe sky, in rainy weather, is tinged with sea green, the rain will in-\\ncrease if with deep blue, it will be showery.\\nClouds. Previous to much rain falling, the clouds grow bigger\\nand increase very fast, especially before thunder. When the clouds are\\nformed like fleeces, but dense in the middle and bright towards tht-\\nedges, with the sky bright, they are signs of a frost, with hail, snow, 01\\nrain. If clouds form high in air, in thin wliite trains like locks of\\nwool, they portend wind, and probably rain. When a general cloudi-\\nness covers the sky, and small black fragments of clouds fly under\\nneath, they area sure sign of rain, and probably it will be lasting\\nTwo curreh,ts of clouds always portend rain, and, in summer, thunder.\\nHeavenly Bodies. A haziness in the air, which fades the sun s\\nlight, and makes the orb appear whitish, or ill-deflned or at night, if\\nthe moon and stars grow dim, and a ring encircles the former, rain will\\nfollow. If the sun s rays appear lilvc Moses horns if white at setting,\\nor shorn of his rays, or if he goes down into a bank of clouds in the hor-\\nizon, bad weather is to be expected. If the moon looks pale and dim,\\nwe expect rain; if red, wind and if of her natural colour, with a clear\\nsky, fair weather. If the moon is rainy throughout, it will clear at\\nthe change, and, perhaps, the rain return a few days after. If fair\\nthroughout, and rain at the change, the fair weather will probably re-\\nturn on the fourth or fifth day.\\nWeather Precautions. If the weather appears doubtful, always*\\ntake the precaution of having an umbrella when you go out, particu-\\nlarly in going to church you thereby avoid incurring one of three dis-\\nagreeables; in the first place, the chance of getting wet^or encroach,\\ning under a friend s umbrella or beingunder the necftssity of borrow\\ning one, consequently involving the trouble of returning it, and possi\\nbly (as is the case in nine times out of tea) iQConveiiieneing your friend\\nI37 ni^fisettng to do so.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0608.jp2"}, "609": {"fulltext": "Dr. Chase s Recipes.\\n589\\n40\\nH\\n80\\n20\\nK\\n15\\ni\\n10\\n7 to 8\\nh\\n5\\nBales for Administering Medicines, liarin^ Reference to Age\\n4Bd Sex.

To deserve the reputation of moving in good society,\\nsomething more is requisite than the avoidance of blunt rudeness.\\nStrictly keep to youi engagements. Punctuality is the essence ol\\npoliteness.\\nThe Toilet. Too much attention cannot be paid to the arrang\u00c2\u00abi-\\nment of the toilet. A man is often judged by his appearance, and sel-\\ndom incorrectly. A neat exterior, equally free from extravagarice anc\\npoverty, almost always proclaims a right-minded man. To dress aj\\npropriately, and with good taste, is to respect yourself and others. A\\ngentleman walking, should always wear gloves, this being one of the\\ncharacteristics of good breeding. Fine linen, and a good hat, gloves,\\nand boots, are evidences of the highest taste in dress.\\nTisiting Dress. A black coat and pants are indispensable for a\\nvisit of ceremony, an entertainment, or a ball. The white or black\\nwaistcoat is equally proper in these cases.\\nOfttcers Dress. Upon public and state occasions officers should\\nappear in uniform.\\nLadies Dress. Ladies dresses should be chosen so as to produce\\nan agreeable harmony. Never put on a dark-colored bonnet with a\\nlight spring costume. Avoid uniting colors which will suggest an epi-\\ngram; such as a straw-colored dress with a green bonnet\\nArrangement of tlie Hair. The arrangement of the hair is most\\nimportant. Bands are becoming to faces of a Grecian caste. Ringlets\\nbetter suit lively and expressive heads.\\nExcess Of Lace and Floners. Whatever be your style of face,\\navoid an excess of lace, and let flowers be few and choice.\\nAppropriateness of Ornaments. In a married woman a richer\\nstyle of ornament is admissible. Costly elegance for her for the young\\ngirl, a style of modest simplicity.\\nSimplicity and Grace. The most elegant dress loses its character\\nif it is not worn with grace. Young girls have often an air of con-\\nstraint, and their dress seems to partake of their want of ease. In\\nspeaking of her toilet, a woman should not convey the idea that her\\nwhole skill consists in adjusting tastefully some trifling ornaments. A\\nsimple style of dress is an indication of modesty.\\nCleanliness. The hands should receive especial attention. They\\nare the outward signs of general cleanliness.

Never err the least in truth. 3. Never say an\\nill thing of a person when thou can not say a good thing of him; not\\nonly speak charitably, but feel so. 4. Never be irritable or unkind to\\nanybody. 5. Never indulge yourself in luxuries that are not neces-\\nsary. 6. Do all things with consideration; and when thy path to act\\nright is most ditficult, feel confidence in that Power alone which is abl\u00c2\u00ab\\nto assist thee, and exert thy own powers as far as they go.\\nThe Female Temper. No trait of character is more agreeable in\\na female than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never be\\nhappy without it. It is like the flowers that spring up in our pathway,\\nreviving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night, wearied and\\nworn by the toils of the day, and how soothing is a word dictated by\\na good disposition It is sunshine falling on his heart. He is happy,\\nand the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has a soothing in-\\nfluence over the minds of a whole family.

As soon as he has caught her he brings\\nher into the ring, and the players again dance round and round, singing\\nHere s a couple both married together.\\nLike father and mother they must agree\\nLove one another like sister and brother,\\nSo pray, young couple, come kiss together.\\nThe gentleman then salutes the laay, who joins the ring, leaving the gen-\\ntleman m the middle. The game goes on as before, only substituting the\\nwords man for maiden and maids for men. This is a merry\\ngarden game in the summer time, when the young gentlemen are not too\\nrough\\nCOPENHAGEN.\\nFirst secure a piece of tape or twine, sufflcientlj^ long to go round the\\nwhole company, who must stand in a circle, holding in each of their hands a\\npart of the string. The last player takes hold of the two ends of the tape.\\nOne remains standing in the center of the circle, wiio is called the Dane,\\nand who must endeavor to slap the hands of one of those who are holding\\nthe string, before they can bo withdrawn. Whoever is not sufficiently alert,\\nand allows his hands to be slapped, must take the place of the Dane, and, in\\nhis turn, try to slap the hands of some one else.\\nQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.\\nAll take partners, and sit opposite each other. Then one person whispers\\na different question in the ear of each on one side of the loom, and another\\ngives an answer to each on the opposite side. The first couple commence.\\nOne asks the question whispered to him, his partner gives the answer whis-\\npered to her.

She must ask some question\\nof the person nearest to her, to which the one spoken to must make a prompt\\nanswer, and in answering he must make use of the word selected.

When all the girls have taken their turn\\nii calling, they leave the room, and the boys take their stand behind the seats\\nand the girls are called in.\\nWe were present at a children s party where this game was played.

Some pretended to be angry at the\\nstolen kiss, but we noticed that if called again, only one timid little girl re-\\nfused the call.\\nBUZZ.\\nPromptness is very necessary in this game. Any number of children ex-\\ncept seven, both girls and boys, seat them.selves around a table, or in a circle.\\nOne begins the game by saying One the child on the left says Two and\\nso on till they come to seven, which number must not be mentioned, but in\\nplace tliereof the word Buzz! Whenever a number occurs in which the\\nfigure seven is used, or any number into wliich seven may be multiplied,,\\nBuzz must be used instead of that number. Such are the numbers 7,14,\\n17, 21, 27, 28, 35, 37, 42, etc. Any one mentioning a number with seven in it in-\\nstead of Buzz. or calling out of turn, or naming a wrong number, must\\npay a forfeit. After she has paid her forfeit, she calls out One! and so it\\ngoes round again to the left. When, by a little practice, the circle gets as\\nhigh as seventy-one, then Buzz-one, Buzz-two, etc., must be used, and for\\nseventy-seven, Buzz-buzz, and so on. If the person whose turn it is to\\nspeaii delays longer than while any one of the circle can nxoderately count\\nrfve, she must pay a forfeit.\\nTWIRL THE TRENCHER.\\nThe players must sit in a large circle, witli a wooden trencher (or a small\\ntin waiter will do), to twirl.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0655.jp2"}, "656": {"fulltext": "632 Amusements for the Young.\\nEach player assumes a name or number\u00e2\u0080\u0094 numbers are best to call\u00e2\u0080\u0094 sucX\\nas No. 1, No. 2, etc. The first player advances to the middle of the circle, an J\\nsets the trencher twirling on the floor.

Though not as gen-\\n.jrally known, it Is equally amusing. A large piece of white cloth, or a linen\\nr cotten sheet, is suspended smoothly at one end of the room, at a little dis-\\ntance from tJulTy, who sits witli his face toward the cloth, and his back to\\nthe company. Behind him a light must be so placed as to throw the shadows\\nof purson.s passing between it and Buflfy directly on the curtain. All other\\nlights must be extinguished. The players then walk, one by one, slowly be-\\nI ween tlie ligit and ButTy (who must not turn his head), limping, jumping,\\ngrimacing, or disguised as they please, so as to distort their shadows on the\\ncurtain. If Buffy can tell correctly to whom any shadow belongs (guessing\\nonce only at each person), the player whom he so discovers takes hie place as\\nBufiFy.\\nBLIND MAN S WAND.\\nThis is another variety of the same game. The blind man carries a cane,\\nwhich he reaches in every direction. Whosoever it touches is bound, by the\\nrules of the game, to take hold of it, and repeat whatever the blind man or-\\nders. The one who is caught can disguise his voice as he pleases. The blind\\nman is allowed three guesses, and if he cannot discover the person touched\\nby his voice, he must try another. This is an amusing change.\\nThere is still another, called Fettered Buff. The person who is to catch\\nhis companions is not blinded, but his wrists are tied behind him, and he\\ncatches by running backward. This form of the game Is not recommended.\\nThe person so bound cannot balance himself easily, or guard himself, and is\\nliable to injury from falling.\\nLAWYER.\\nAll who take part in the play assemble and choose a lawyer. The chairs\\nfn the room are arranged in two rows, as in a contra-dance. If there are an\\nequal number of gentlemen and ladies, the former choose their partners.\\nThe gentlemen take seats opposite the ladles, i he lawyer proceeds to ask\\nsuch questions as he chooses. The person addressed must never answer, but\\nhis partner must answer for him. If either makes a mistake, he or she must\\nchange places with the lawyer, and ask the questions. If the lawyer is ready\\nin asking questions, turning quickly from one person to another, he can very\\nsoon catch some one.\\nCONSEQUENCES.\\nThis is a quiet game. All assemble around a table. Each person must\\nhave a half sheet of note paper and a pencil. All are requested to write an\\nadjective, expressing either a good or bad quality in a man s character. Each\\none then turns over and creases down the place written upon, and all change\\npapers. Each one then writes a gentleman s name, and turns it down, and\\nall change papers again. Then another word of quality, applying to a lady,\\nis written, and all the papers are turned down as before, and changed as be-\\nfore. Then a lady s name is written; then a place where they met; then\\nwhat he said to her then what she said to him what he gave to her; what\\nshe gave to him then the consequences The paper must be turned down\\nevery time, and changed, and no one must read what the others have written.\\nWhen all have finished, some person collects and reads the papers. Some are\\nabsurd, and others happen very correctly. For instance, tliey might read\\nthus: The clumsy Mr. Snooks met the beautiful Miss Primrose at a ball.\\nHe asked her if she liked turnips; she sighed and hung her head, and said.\\nIf mamma is willing. He gave her a bouquet she gave him a box on the\\near. The consequences were too sad to relate.

It is played in the\\nfollowing manner One of the company is sent out of the room, and not re-\\ncalled until her companions have agreed upon two words with similar sound\\nwith which to puzzle her. When she comes in she asks, How do you like\\nit? One answers, Very mudi indeed; or, I don t like it early in the\\nmorning. Another says, It is too noisy. Anotlier, It is too fond of fine\\nclothes, etc. She then asks, When do you like it? One answers, At all\\ntimes. Another, When I feel hungry for my dinner. Anothi^r, I want\\nIt when walking alone. Another, When I want some wood brought for\\nmy Are, etc. Lastly she asks, Where would you put it? One says, I\\nwould hang it. Another, I would shut it up in a church tower.

It may be played by persons of all ages and of\\neither sex; but it is especially adapted for ladies and young persons, as it de-\\nmands but trifling personal exertion, while it affords delightful and health-\\ngiving sport.\\nTlie ground upon which croquet is played is preferably a grass-plot of an\\noblong form; but an ordinary lawn or expanse of even turf will answer the\\npurpose, so long as it is of sufficient extent for the operations of the game.\\nThe implements for playing croqugt are the balls, the mallets, the starting\\nand turning pegs, the croquet clips or markers, the hoops or arches. These\\nmay be obtained at tlie ordinary toy warehouses.\\nArrangement of the Hoops.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 \\\\s much of the interest of this game depends\\nupon the arrangement of the hoops, it is essential that they should be fixed\\nn the ground on definite principles. In the flrt-t place, the starting peg is\\ndriven in at one end of the ground, and the turning peg is driven in at the\\nOther extremity. From each of these pegs a space of twelve feet intervenes*\\nhere a hoop Is fixed; another space often feet intervenes, when a second\\nhoop is fixed; a space of eight feet then succeeds, and at this point is formed\\nWhat may be termed the base, on each side of wnich, at a distance of twenty\\nfeet, and succeeding each other at Intervals of ten feet, three hoops are driven\\nIn. By this arrangement a square is formed, the starting peg leading into 1 ts\\ncenter, and the turning peg leading from it. Where the ground is small, the\\ndistances may be contracted proportionally. Other arrangements of the\\nhoops may be made at ihe discretion of the players, but the first-named plan\\nWill be found be .t worthy of adoption, as it aflfords the most excellent oppor-\\ntunitiips for the display of address and skill.\\nThe game consists in striking the balls from the starting peg through the\\nseven hoops to the peg at the opposite extremity. The balls are then driven\\nback again to the starting peg.\\nThe game may be played by any number of persons not exceeding eight.\\nA larger number protracts the intervals between the several turns, and there-\\nby renders the gamo tedious. The Tnost eligible number is four. If two only\\nplay, each player should take two balls; and when as many as eight play,\\nthere should be two sides or .sets.\\nIn playing the game, each player takes a mallet, ball, and croqu\u00c2\u00a7t clip, of\\nthe same color or number, the clip being used to indicate the hoop at which,\\nIn his turn, he aims. The division into sides, choice of balls, mallets, etc., is\\ndetermined by the players among themselves.\\nLaws of the Game. \u00e2\u0080\u0094In croquet, as with many other sports when first estab-\\nlished, there exist differences of opinion on certain points of practice. We\\nhave consulted numerous treatises on the game, and find Jaques s Laws and\\nRegulations of the Game of Croquet to be one of tlie most practical and\\nstraightforward majiuals extant. It is to this work that we are mainly in-\\ndebted for the following laws of the game:\\n1. On commencing, each player must place his ball within a mallet s\\nlength of the starting peg In any direction, and his opening stroke must be to\\npass through the first hoop.\\n2. The players on each side are to play alternately, according to the colors\\non the starting peg, and the order In which they play cannot be altered dur-\\ning the game.\\n3. Each player oontinaes to play so long as he plays with success, that is,", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0661.jp2"}, "662": {"fulltext": "63S Amusefnenh for the Young.\\nso long as he drives his ball through the next hoop in order, or croqufits an\\nother ball.\\n4. When a player strikes his own ball so as to hit another at a distance,\\nhe is said toroquSt It; and, having thus hit a ball, he must then, as it is\\ntermed, take the croquet, whicli is done as follows: He lays his own ball\\nagainst the other so that the two touch he then places his foot on his own\\nball, wHich he strikes with his mallet; this will drive the ball with a momen-\\ntum and in a direction most desired. In doing this the player should press\\nhis foot on his own ball.\\n5. A player must move the ball he croqaSts. He is said to take a stroks\\noff when he places his own ball to touch the croquSted ball very lightly, so\\nas to leave it, when croqueted, in nearly the same position; but in doing this\\nthe croqueted ball must be perceptibly moved.\\n6. No ball can croquet, or be croqueted, until it be jmssed through the\\nfirst hoop.\\n7. Any player missing the first hoop takes his ball up, and when his turn\\noomes again, plays from the starting place, as at first.\\n8. A player may croquet any number of balls consecutively but he ean\\nnot croquet the same ball twice during 1 he same turn, without first sending\\nhis own ball through the next hoop In order.\\n9. Instead of aiming at his hoop or another ball, a player may strike his\\nball towards any part of the ground he pleases. When he has made a com-\\nplete circuit from the starting peg back to the starting peg, he may either re-\\ntire from the game by pegging, or, by not doing so. remain in. In this case\\nhe Is called a rover, and will still have the power of croqueting consecu-\\ntively all the balls during any one of his turns.\\n10. When a ball roquets another ball, the player s ball Is dead, and Id\\nhand until after the player of It has taken the croquet. Hence it follows\\nthat if it cannon from one ball to another, or from a ball through its owr\\nhoop, or from a ball on to either of the pegs, none of these subsequent strokes\\ncount anything. If, however, a player cannon ofi a ball which in the same\\nturn he has croqueted, and then runs oflf it and makes a stroke, that stroke\\ncounts.\\n11. A player whose ball is roquSted or croqueted through its hoop in or-\\nder, counts the hoop.\\n12. A player mu^t hit his ball fairly\u00e2\u0080\u0094 not push It. A ball Is considered to\\nbe fairly hit when the sound of the stroke is heard. A ball is pushed\\nwhen the face of the mallet is allowed to rest against it, and the ball propelled\\nwithout the mallet being drawn back.\\n13. A player may play In any attitude, and use his mallet with his hands\\nIn any way he pleases, so that he strike the ball with the lace of the mallet.\\n14. Whentne ball of a player hits the starting peg, alter he has been\\nthrough all the hoops, whether by his own play, or bj being roqueted (subject\\nto the provisions In Law 10), or by being croqueted, he is out of the game,\\nwhich goes on without him, his turn being omitted.\\n15. The clip Is placed on the hoop through which the player Is next going.\\nThe clips are to be changed by the umpire, and are decisive as to the position\\nof a player s ball; but if the umpire forget to change a clip, any player may\\nremind him before the next stroke. Should there be no clips, a player Is en-\\ntitled to ask any other player how he stands in the game.\\n16. A player stops at the peg; that is, having struck the turning peg in\\norder, his turn is at an end, and even though he should roquet off the peg, it\\ndoes not count. When his turn comes round again, he plays his ball from\\nthe spot it rolled to after pegging.\\n17. A ball is considered to have passed through its hoop if it cannot be\\ntouched by the handle of the mallet, laid on the ground from wire to wire, on\\nthe side from which the ball passed.\\n18. The decision of the umpire is final. His duties are: To move the\\nclips; to decide when balls are fairly struck; to restore balls to their places\\nwhich have been disturbed b.y accident; and to decide whether a croqueted\\nball is moved or not, in doubtful cases.\\nTerms Used in the Game.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 iyog-Msi\u00e2\u0080\u0094 To hit another ball with one s own.\\nOroquet\u00e2\u0080\u0094To strike one s own ball when in contact with a roqueted ball.\\nPTirsd\u00e2\u0080\u0094 To have the ball in such a position that the hoop prevents the stroke\\nwhich Is wished to be made.

The operator should be acquainted witii and understand\\n\u00c2\u00abvie nature and working of the bee to enable him ti manage tliera properly,\\ntleshould then have a hive that will answer all his needs in every depart-\\nment of bee culture, and in the making of hives should aim at simplicity.\\nThe honey machine Is acknowledged by all bee-keepers to be the greatest\\nImprovement to the science since tlie invention of the movable comb hive,\\nby the use of which we claim to double and even treble the quantity obtained\\ny the old method.\\nWHAT CONSTITUTES A SWARM OF BEES.\\nEvery prosperous swarm, of bees must contain one queen, several thou-\\nsand workers, and a portion of the year a few hundred or even thousand\\ndrones. We will now proceea to describe the diflferent bees which constitute\\nswarm, and the labors of each.\\nDESCRIPTION OF THE QUEEN.\\nThe accompanying cut will Illustrate the appearance of\\nthis most important member of this industrious colony. The\\nqueen is the only perfect female bee in the colony, and hence\\nthe name of queen or mother bee. In form she is longer than\\neither of the other species. She is usually of a dark color, ex-\\ncept the under side of the abdomen, which bears somewhat\\non the golden shade. AH her colors are bright and glossy,\\nand she has but little of the down or hair seen on the drones\\nor workers Her wings are short, reaching a little more than\\nhalf way back. Her posterior is more pointed and, has\\nthe appearance of curving under, more than that of the\\nworkers. She has a sting, but never uses It, except in combat\\nwith a rival queen.\\nTheir Affection for their Qtteen. The queen is al-\\nway.s treated with the greatest affection by the bees. If she\\nis removed from them, the whole colony is thrown into a stale of the most\\ninteu.se agitation. All labor is abandoned, and the bees run wildly over the\\ncomb, and rush from the hive in anxioas search for their beloved mother. 1/\\nthey cannot find her, they return to their desolate home and manifest by\\ntheir sorrowful tones their sense of this great calamity, as no colony can long\\nexist without the presence of tlie mother bee.\\nTHE AGE OF THE QUEEN.\\nThe average age of the queen is about three years. None should be al-\\nlowed to become older than that, as after that age they often become barren,\\nor deposit eggs which produce only drones, and the colony soon wastes away\\nwithout being replenished with worker broods.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0663.jp2"}, "664": {"fulltext": "640\\nBee-Keepmg Department\\nLike tlio droae, the queen never goes to gather honey, her onlj duty belu*\\nto deposit the eggs, both male and female. Yet she is as dependent on tue\\nworkers as they are upon her, and both are dependent upon the dronee, not-\\nwithstanding they are the acknowledged idlers of the colony.\\nDEPOSITING THE EGG.\\nIn all well populated hives young broods\\nmay be found in different stages of develop-\\nment, every month in the year, with few excep-\\ntions. The queen carefully examines each cell\\nby thrusting her head in, before depositing the\\negg, to see if it contains bee broad or honey, as\\nshe never uses a cell partly fil ed. If she finds\\nthe ceil clear, she immediately curves her abdo-\\nmen and inserts it. She remains but a second\\nor two, and then leaves the cell, when an egs\\nabout a sixteenth of an inch long may be seen\\nattached to the base of the cell, usually a little\\nto one side.\\nHATCHING.\\nThe eggs remain unchanged for three orfour\\ndays. They are then hatched, the bottom o\\neach cell containing a small white worm, which\\nfloats in a whitish transparent fluid, which if\\ndeposited by the nursing bees, and by which il\\nis probably nourished.

If fertillaation does not occur\\nbefore she ia twenty days old it never takes place, and the eggs deposited will\\nonly produce drones.\\nTHE WAILINGS OP THE QUEEN.\\nThe queen has two notes one of defiance, called piping the other is a\\nnote of fear, a plaintive, pitiful wail, moornful in the extreme, and lingering\\nlong in the memory when once heard. This mournful note is set up when\\nremoved from their hive, when seized by the other bees to destroy her life, or\\nwhen her colony are starving. Whenever this note is heard turn not a deaf\\near. but immediately respond to the call, for there is something wrong. Rig-\\nidly examine the hive and remove the eauBe of complaint.\\nAn unimpregnated queen is called a virgin queen. They are capable\\nof laying only drone eggs. A fertile queen is one which has mated with a\\ndrone, and is capable of laying eggs which may become either workers,\\nIrones, or queens. A barren queen is one who has paased the stage ot laying\\nfggs, that will become either workers or queens, but continues to lay eggs\\nwhich produce only drones. The period of fertility lasts from two to three\\nyears, and cannot be depended on longer safely. All such queens should be\\ndestroyed and fertile ones introduced, that the colony may not beoome\\nextinct.\\nWORKER BEE.\\nThe annexed cut represents the worker bee, a very import-\\nant member of the colony. They constitute the mass or the\\ncolony, and upon them devolve all the labors of the hive.\\nThey gather the honey and pollen\u00e2\u0080\u0094 the food for the young.\\nThey nurse and feed the young brood, and defend their house\\nagainst invasion of enemiet. The care which the workers\\nbastow upon their nurslings is wonderful, and they manifest\\nthe most tender attachment for them. The slightest move-\\nment of these nurses approaching to administer to the young\\nbrood is sufficient to attract them to their food which they\\nlevour voraciously, and it is unsparingly administered. After the cells have\\nbeen sealed up they seem to cease from anything like attention, altliough if\\nthe brood comb is meddled with, their utmost Ire is kindled. Bees reared In\\n.he spring and earley summer are shorter lived than tliose reared later in the\\nseason. Each worker is armed with a formidable sting, and when disturbed\\ndoes not hesitate to use it. The extremity being barbed, the bee can rarely\\nwithdraw it, and in losing her sting she looses her life and dies in defending\\nVer home and sacred treasures.\\nDRONES.\\nWe herewith present a representation of the drone\\nof the colony; the gentleman of leisure, who leads\\nan easy life, taking no thought of the morrow. They\\ntoil not; neither do they spin, but let otliers bear the\\nheat and burden of the day. They differ from the\\nqueen and worker in form and structure, and are of a\\ndarker color and less active. They have no proboscis\\nfor gatheriug honev no basket for pollen no sack for\\nwax; and no sting to defend themselves with. They\\nseem to be a necessary evil, consuming the fruits of the\\nlabor performed by others. Yet without them the\\n_ brood would soon become extinct. Microscopic exam-\\nination shows that they are the males of the bee family, and jn the\\nperformance of the functions appointed to them, they invariably yield up\\n{\u00e2\u0096\u00a0hair life. The duties devolving upon them are to accompany the young\\nupon their bridal tour.

In July and August if there seems to be a prospect ol\\na short supply of honey, the laborers set up a vigorous persecution, driving\\nthem from or into a corner of the hive, and when through hunger and captiv-\\nity, they become weakened, and being witiiout a sting, unable to defend\\nthemselves, they fall helpless victims to their fearful onslaughts. They rush\\nupon them and sting them with such fury that they die at once. They seize\\nthem by their wings and gnaw them in such a manner as to prevent their\\nescape by flight, and crawling oflf death overtakes them.\\nTHE ITALIAN OR LIGURIAN BEES\\nAre conceded by all to be far superior to the black bee above described,\\nalthough they do not differ essentially in conformation; yet for profit and\\namiability are a great Improvement. In color, they are a beautiful golden\\nhue. The worker when pure has three distinct bands about the body the\\ncolor and bands being the test of purity. The queens are more fertile and\\nprolific, depositing tneir eggs earlier in the season; swarm oftener and earlier\\nwhen not interfered with protect themselves from robber bees and moths\\nmore effiectually; carry in more honey, gathering from the small variety of\\nred clover and some othar plants whose cells are so deep that the common\\nbee cannot reach the nectar distilled in the bottom of the flower cups; will\\nnot sting upon as slight provocation, and can be handlea more easily. They\\nare stronger, and more hardy, and live longer, although performing more\\nlabor. They are also more industrious, often going to the fields in very\\nnnfarorable weather.\\nTO PRESERVE PURITY OF STOCK.\\nMafty object to Italian bees from apprehension of their becoming hybrid-\\nized on account of black bees being kept in their vicinity; bat the fact of\\ntheir throwing off swarms more frequently and earlier in the season, would\\neasily obviate that trouble. Both queens and drones are more active and\\nagile than the common kind, and from this fact would usually encounter one\\nanother besides the wings of both queens and drones are finer than the\\ncommon kind, and the sounds produced in flying are clearer and higher-toned,\\nhence, they aje readily able to distinguish each other when on the wing.\\nREARING ITALIAN QUEENS.\\nAll practical Bee-Keepers have a way of their own of rearing queens. 1\\nwould recommend the use of a small hive or nucleus^ as they are terro\u00c2\u00a94.\\nThey are made about six or eight inches long, five inches wide, and pIjc\\ninches deep, inside measure, with three miniature comb frames each. If\\nyour whole apiary is Italiauized.and ail the bees are the same for an extent\\nof three miles around, there will not be much difficulty in obtaining purely\\nfertilized queens: but if such is not the case, some of tne following methods\\nmay be adopted to secure the desired result; either the rearing of drones\\nearly in tlie spring, before the black drones make their appearance, or late in\\nthe season, after they have been destroyed otherwise the manner of double\\nworking tnem will have to be resorted to.\\nIf the apiary is large, perhaps the last named method would be the\\nmost practicable as it would be almost impossible to obtain the desired\\nresults by either of the others, unless in the \\\\u luls of an experienced opera-\\ntor. The manner of double working them Is v -ly simple. It is merely rais-\\ning all the queens you may desire for the whole apiary, from a queen of un-\\ndoubted purity, and let the young queens ma. 3 as tney will with black or\\nItalian drones. According to the theory adopted Iry myself, and the majority\\nof bee-keepers, the drones of the young queens wiii be pure, while the work-\\ners of a queen fertilized by the black drone will be hybrldes. From this\\ntheory, it is evident that the drones of your apiary the foUowlng spring\\nwill be Italian, and you have only to proceed and raise another set of queens\\nfrom the same old one, (or what would be better from a new qi en from\\nanother apiary,) which would produce a cross, and prevent in anc 1 breed-\\ning. If any of the queens of the second year s raising do not produce work-\\ners of undoubted purity, namely, those with three distinct oands on the\\nabdomen, she should be replaced by another, until the desired purity is\\nattained. It is not necessary to make much preparation for qaeen-raising\\nuntil the drones begin to make their appearance, as they should be, at least\\ntwo weeks old, at the time the queen sets forth on her bridal tour. When the\\nproper time arrives to prosecute your labors, the nuclei should be stocked\\nwith combs lu tlie frames, and a little honey, about one or more (rame full, ia\\norder tfiat the bees may concentrate their labors on the queen cells, instead ol\\nbeing obliged to store their hive with honey. To insure success, it is also\\nnecessary to have some brood in the nuclei to retain the bees, and neep them\\non the Increase, and not allow them to diminish in numbers; for the nuclei", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0666.jp2"}, "667": {"fulltext": "Bee-Keeping Department. 643\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0taoald be kept well stocked with bees. The br od should be over seven days\\nold, from the time the egg was deposited so that the bees will not construct\\nqueen cells from brood that you do not wish to use. 1 o procure the bees and\\ncomb, it is best to obtain the hive from a distfuice of two or three miles drive\\nout the bees into a box, as in transferring, s ?arch out the queen, divide the\\ncombs, and put them in the nucleus then put into each nucleus at least one\\nquart of bees, without a queen. A ^ood swarm in M.y will furnish bees\\nenough for about five nuclei; while in June, sufficient may be obtained for\\nten. The bees in tlie nucleus should be confined, with a little ventilation, for\\nfrom twelve to twenty-four hours, and if the night is cool, should be covered\\nor carried into a room, so tliat their brood may not become chilled.\\nThe nuclei should be placed promiscuously about the yard, so that when\\nthe queen makes her flight, she may lelurn safely to her home and not enter\\nanother, and in the mistake lose her life. The bees for the nucleus may be\\nobtained from your own yard, in which case it will be necessary to confine\\nthem for at least three days, that they may not return to their old habitation,\\nwhen set at liberty. If it is desired to put tiie brood that you wish to have\\nqueens reared from, into the nucleus, at the time of putting the bets in, it can\\nbe done if done quickly, that it may not become chilled in the process; or it\\ncan be put in at the time they are allowed to fly out. I prefer the plan advo-\\ncated by Mr. Alley, that is, to introduce your best queens, or tiiose you wish\\nto rear from, directly into the nucleus, and change combs from them, when\\nthere are eggs deposited there, to others from which to rear queens. In all\\neases to raise large, strong, fertile queens, I think it best to introduce tlie\\nbrood into the nucleus before the eggs hatcli as, in that case, the larva is fed\\napon the royal Jelly from the time the egg hatches, until it is sealed over,\\njnd therefore would receive more than a grub that is well advanced. When\\n^e brood is given to the nucleus, the bees will often start several queen cells\\na^m it, and in from ten to fourteen days some of the cells will hatch. Just\\nlefore they do, ail the cells but one may be removed, and placed in other\\nluclei, or in hives that have been queenless for at least twelve hours. This\\nt\u00c2\u00ab nLuch safer than to allow them to hatch, and then attempt to introduce a\\nrlrgin queen to a hive or nucleus, as they will rarely receive a queen until\\n%fter impregnation takes place.\\nDuring the months of June, July, and August, if the weather is pleasant,\\ntne qeeen will invariably come out to meet the drone on the ftilh day after\\nleaving the cell, and in two or three days she will commence laying eggs.\\nShe should be removed from the nucleus after impregnation takes place, and\\nbefore she commences to laj-. if it is desired to rfar another queen in the\\nsame nucleus. If she is allowed to commence laying before being removed,\\nthe bees will, after her removal, begin to construct queen cells from the eggs\\nlaid by her, in which case, it would be necessary to keep the nucleus queen-\\nless for five days, or introduce a cell just ready to hatch within twelve hours\\n%fter removing tbe qneen.\\nINTRODUCING THE QUEEN.\\nThe proper time for removing the black queen, is the middle of the day\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\nereat care being taken not to alarm the bees when the frames are removed.\\nSmoke, or even sudden jaring, will cause the queen to seek the bottom of the\\nhive, or some other place of refuge. Carefully ra se off the top, without jar-\\nring the hive and alarming the bees, near you place an empty hive in which\\nto put the frames as you take them out, examine carefully the combs in the\\ncentre or those first filled with brood and if the bees are not disturbed, they\\nwill be spread evenly over the surface, when the queen will be easily recog-\\nnized, and can be picked up with the fingers. If the bees become alarmed,\\nthe queen being the most shy and retiring, will seek to conceal herself by\\nhiding in a mass of bees, in the comers of the hive, or anywhere, that slie\\nmay be out of sight, when a close scrutiny w-ill be needed to discover her.

He has the location selected; lias obtained, what appears to him, the\\nbeet liive, and now it remains to procure occupants for those hives. He may\\npurchase a colony that threw offa swarm the year before, as then he would\\nbe quite sure of getting a young queen whereis, if the stock is of the current\\nyear, he would very probably have an old ono, aud in one or two years dis-\\ncover, to his great surprise, that his swarm was gradually decreasing in num-\\nbers, with a fair prospect of being utterly lost j or, should there be a swarm\\nthrown oflF accompanied by the old queen, as is usually tlie case, the new one\\nwould in a short time dwindle down to a mere handful of bees.\\nTlie be-t method in all cases, therefore, is to purchase the best stocks,\\nthose contaiuitig a large number of bees, a good supply of honey, and that\\nthese bees are sutflcleiit to cover almost the entire comb. Before purchasing,\\nbe sure that there Is no diseased brood occupying the cells, and that no\\nswarms have been lost from this cause. If no disease prevails in the hives,\\ntheu Did stooks are not objectionable, as, if they swarmed the previous\\nseason, they have the young queens, who are more prolific than the old ones,\\nWho always accompaay the first swarms aud as long as they rem^ain healthy\\nsre as piosperous as the young swarms.\\nSWARMING.\\nThe swarming season in this latitude sometimes commences as early as\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2hel-5th of iVf ay, and at other times as late as tha 1st of July, It usually\\nommences about ten or twenty days after white clover comes into bloom.\\na general rule, bees swarm for lack of room or want of tuorough veatiia-\\nvoa inside the Idve.\\nMETHOl) OP HIVING BEES.\\nIt makes out little difference how they are put into the hive, provided\\nmaey are all ra.ade to enter. One essential tiling is to have your hive in readi-\\nness. The hives should be stored in a cool place, as bees will enter a cool hive\\nmuch quicker than one that has stood in the hot sun all day. Place upon\\nle ground under the swarm cluster, the hive with a large piece of board\\ni ist in front of it, upon which the bees can be poured. If they are to be\\nived in a box hive, one side should be raised one inch by placing under the\\ni ont corner two sticks or blocks to hold it up from the bottom board. If in a\\nsioveable comb hive, raise the front, if on a movable bottom board,\\nf not, open the entrance as wide as possible. If the swarm has\\nilustered on a small branch or limb, it may be cut off if not\\niletrlmental to the tree, and brought down, and the bees shaken off\\nIn front of the hive. A knowledge that a new home is found is at once\\nupparent. If any large number linger around i he entrance, nearly closing it,\\nyou can expedite their progress by gently disturbing them with a small twig.\\nIf gentle means do not induce them to enter in a reasonable time and they\\nsiiem obstinate, a little water sprinkled on them will facilitate operations.\\nToo much water must not be used or they will become so wet that they will\\nnot move at all. If you do not wish to cut the limb tliey cluster on. they\\nmay be shaken Into a basket. In this event it is well to sprinkle the cluster\\nwith a pailful of cold water, (ice water not objectionable) which will cause\\nthem to cluster closer, and hardly one will leave the basket. If you get nearly\\nall the bees the first effort, shaking the limb will prevent the remainder from\\nalighting, and will turn their attention to those who have found a home, and\\nare loudly calling them to come. There are many other methods under dif-\\nferent cir umstances, which our space does not permit us to explain, but\\nwtuch will probably suggest themselves to the bee-keeper.\\nALL SHOULD BE MADE TO ENTER.\\nIt is of the utmost importance that all should be made to enter^the hive\\nat once. A cluster outside may contain the queen inconsious of a home, and\\nBhp might depart for the woods. Any small cluster around the hive should\\nbe bri.shed towards the entrance until they are all in. As soon as this is done\\nIt Is highly important that they be set on tlie new stand for if the bees have\\nbeen long on the tree they often send out scouts, and if the bees are left where\\nthey archived often entice them to flee to the woods, otherwise they return\\nto the limb, and being unable to And therti return to the pcu-eut stock with\\nthe few scattering bees left after hiving.\\nShade is important, for if the bees do not like their home they will go\\nawav, and the heat works much mlsohief in various ways. The shade should\\nnot be too deuM.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0669.jp2"}, "670": {"fulltext": "646\\nBee-Keeping Departfnent.\\nLOSS OF QUEEN.\\nEvery bee-keeper should understand how to detect the loss of the Queen.\\nThe following morning after a lossof this kind lias occurred, and occasionally\\nintheevening the bees may be seen running to and fro In wild consterna-\\ntion. Towards the middle of the day tlie confusion will ba less marked, but\\nthe next morning will be again enacted and after the third or fourth day\\ncease entirely, and apparently tliey become reconciled to their fate; they\\ncontinue their labors although they do not manifest the energy or agiliiy\\nseen in a prosperous colony. Some authors say that they will not gather\\npollen wnen queenless; but such Indications are not always reliable. It is\\nhighly necessary that the bee-keep t siiould glance at every swarm in the\\nmorning for a few days after swarming, so thtt, ifany sucli loss should occur\\nat this time it maybe remedied at once by the Introduction of a cell, or a\\nfertile queen. In early spring, eveiy swarni should l e examined for her pres-\\nence. In the box hive, a little smoke may be blowni n, and the bees driven\\nback ifany brood can be discovered, it is a sure Indication that she is there,\\nand fertile. In the movable comb hive, it is only necessary to raise out one\\nof the combs in the center of the cluster, and the condition will be recognized\\nat once. If a few imperfect be ;s ace found on the bottom board or front of\\nthe entrance in early morning, it shows that the colony has a fertile queen\\nand further examination is unnecessary.\\nWINTERING BEES.\\nMore baes are lost by wintering than by all other troubles combined. To\\nwinter them successfully each stock should contain a sufficient amount i\\nhoney, bee-bread, and bees. For out-door wintering each hive should coii\\ntain from 30 to 35 lbs. of honey; in-door 5 to 10 lbs. less. Each hive shouhv\\nhave an upward ventillation it is absolutely necessary.\\nENEMIES OF BEES.\\nThere Is no enemy so much dreaded as tlie moth miller.

Dysentery and Foul Brood, the former of ihese generally makes its ap-\\npearance in the spring, and may be known by the bees discharging their ex-\\ncrements over tlie comb, the interior of the hive, and especi.-illy around tho\\nentrance; the color instead of being yellow is of a dark muddy appearance\\nand has a sickening, offensive odor, which becomes intolerable. I lia\\\\e never\\nhad a case where I gave upward ventillation to the hives; the cause may be\\nascribed to tlie moisture in tlie hive condensing, and mixing with the honey\\nin the cells. Colonies aflfected by dysentery are usually lost unless wa\u00c2\u00bbm\\nweather timely intervenes or they are removed to a war o room so that Iho\\nwater in the honey may be evaporated, which will generally terminate \u00c2\u00abhc\\ntrouble.", "height": "3028", "width": "2079", "jp2-path": "drchasesrecipeso00chas_0670.jp2"}, "671": {"fulltext": "Bee- Keeping Deparimeni. 647\\nDISEASED OR FOUL BROOD.\\nIn \u00c2\u00abted\u00c2\u00absBtrtxetlon of the nymph or pupa from some derangement which\\noaaeit\u00c2\u00bb6lt to uadergo decomposition in the cell, arises a disease Itnown as\\nFoal Brood. Some say it is caused by the brood being chilled in the cell;\\nothtTS, that It Is caused by the fermentaiion of bee-bread and honey. Mr.\\nRood, of Wayne, Mich., recommends that it be summarily deait witli and the\\nway to exterminate it entirely is to bury it, hive, bees and all, beyond any\\npossibility of resurrection. Icannotsee why, by Mr. Quimby s method, in\\ntlie hands of a skilful operator, it could not be treated without the liability\\nof spreading and save the bees, honey, wax and hive; the method after Mr.\\n0,uirabys plan is driving out all the bees and putting them into new hives\\nwithout any comb. If you wioh to put them into nives with comb they\\nshould be kept in a box three or four days and fed just, enough to keep them\\nalivej until they have consumed all the honey they took from the old hive. The\\nold hive must be secured from robber baes, as auy of the honey bei iig carried i n-\\nto other stocks would prove their desti uctiou as tills disease is as coalagious as\\nmeaselsor small-pox; the honey may be purified by add iig a little water,\\nboiling it for a few minutes and removing the scum. The comb must, be\\neither melted or buried to be beyond the reach of bees; the hives may be\\nrenovated by using a powerful disinfectant, but I prefer to burn tUom. If a\\ncolony is affected in the fall, too late to build comb, and no comb on hand to\\nput them in, the best disposition is to consign them to the brimstone pit,\\nrather than to attempt to feed them thi ougU the winter to lose them in the\\nspring.\\nJEEDING BEES.\\nFew things In bee-keeping ate more imp Jitiiut, and require a more thor-\\nough knowledge, than the feeding of bees. In attempting; to winter too small\\ncolonies, thousands often perish, in wiuier and early spring. Colonies in the\\ncommon box hive containing few combs and but little honey, should be fed\\nIn the latter part of September, or in October, a sulflcient amount to carry\\nthem safely through the winter. If feeding is negle.-.ted until winter, it may\\nthen be done by placing the hive in a cellar or moderately warm room.\\nIn the spring the prudent bee-keeper will no more neglect to feed his des-\\ntitute colonies than to provide for his own table. Tliere is one point certain\\nin bee-keeping: that if a colony is stimulated carefully in tae spring, they\\nand their first swarm will have honey sufficient in the fall tJ winter them\\nthrough, unless a very unfavorable season occurs.\\nWATER NECESSARY.\\nWater is Indispensable to bees when building comb ur raising brood.\\nEvery prudent bee-keeper will see that his bees are supplied with water, by\\nplacing shallow wooden troughs flUed with straws or floats, that they may\\nIrink without danger of drosvning. A location near small bodies of water\\nWill be suflftcient for asupply, but locations near large bodies are lujurious.\\nROBBING AMONG BEES.\\nIt is instinctive In the nature of bees for one colony to rob another as\\nloon as they can leave their hives in the spring. Tlie stronger begins to as-\\ntall the weaker. If these marauders who are prowling about in search of\\nplunder attack a strong colony, they are usually glad to escape with their\\nlives from its resolute defenders. The bee-keeper who neglects to feed his\\nneedy colonies, and to assist such as are weak or queenless, must expect to\\nsuffer heavy losses from robber bees. They are never inclined to rob when\\nthere is plenty of honey in the field. They would obtain their livin! honestly\\nwhen they can, forcibly when they must. Wnen an entrance has b^-eu made\\nintoapoorly garrisoned hive, and the condition ascertained, the robbers re-\\nturn to their homes and present themselves again witn additional numbers.\\nThe weak colony, seeing their helpless condition, immediately join the mar-\\nauders and assist in carrying their own stores to the robbers hive, and tnem-\\nselves become a portion of its inmates. This is always the case with those\\nwho survive after being overpowered.\\nA very good method to determine when a swarm is being robbed. Is to\\ncatch a bee that is coming out. If ho looks plumper than those entering, if\\nyou pull the head and thorax from the body, the honey sack will appear either\\nfull or empty; if full, It is proof that the hive is being robbed, and means\\nshould at once be instituted to prevent It. A few small pieces of camphor\\ngum thrown Into the entrance, will often prevent the robbers from trying to\\nget In, but when not effectual, close the opening by laying a little block in\\nfront, so that but one or two bees can pass at a time. This will ?ive them a\\nbetter opportunity to defend themselves.

It should be done in the spring or summer, to be suc-\\ncessful. Transferring may be done at any time of the day, if pleasant. The\\nbest place to make the transfer is in some shaded locality or clean building.\\nIt will be necessary to have a few things in readiness, such as a box the size\\nof the hive and a foot deep, for a driving box; an axe, a saw, a large knife,\\nsome goose quills, some twine, a dish of water to wash the honey from your\\nhands, and a few dishes to put the honey and pieces of comb in also some\\nkind of bench should be arranged to lay the conab on.\\nThe swarm to be treated snould have tobacco smoke blown in among\\nthem to drive the bees among the comb, and also to subdue them. The hives\\nshould be removed to the place of transfer, placing another as near like it as\\npossible on the old stand, that the returning bees may not join other hives\\nand be killed. Invert the hive, and place over it the driving box. Wrap a\\npiece of cloth around where the two join, to prevent escape. Get two round\\nsticks fifteen inches long and one inch in diameter, and commence beating\\nthe hive a few minutes, then stop about five minutes, to allow the bees to fll)\\nthemselves with honey, then beat again for ten minutes, by which time nearly\\nall will have left and clustered in the box. The sheet or cloth is then takev\\noff, spread upon the ground, and the driving box placed upon it, the samt\\nside up as before, and a small stick placed under one side, to allow the air t(\\nenter. Loosen the comb from two sides of the hive, and with an axe split th\u00c2\u00bb\\nsides off, that the comb may be taken out whole. Lay the comb upon th\u00c2\u00bb\\ntable, and place over it the frame. Cut the comb a trifle larger than thf\\nframe, so it will fit closely, having it the same side up in the new hive that\\nwas in the old. After the comb is fitted in, it may be secured in its place by\\ntying around the frame a piece of cotton twine. The bees will fasten it with\\nwax In a day or two. Now hang the frame in the new hive. Do in the same\\nmanner until all good worker comb is secured, leaving out all drone comb.\\nNow put in the bees, the same as hiving a natural swarm. Place upon the\\nold stand, with the entrance contracted, and the ventilator left open during\\nthe heat of the day. In about two days the bees will have the comb fastened,\\nwhen the strings can be cut and drawn out, and the boxes put on.\\nCONCLUSION.\\nIn conclusion, I would urge all who keep bees, or are about to do so, to\\nstudy the subject well. To the beginner I would say, give heed to two max-\\nims: See your bees often, and have a knowledge at all times of their condition.\\nSecond: Keep your stocks strong. To the reader I would say, if you have a nat-\\nural taste for the business, study the subject thoroughly, and engage in bee-\\nkeeping.
