REVIEW OF SOUTHERN MEDICAL LITERATURE.
treating a case, allow three glasses of milk
the day before; and in the afternoon give a
large dose of salts, which usually acts well
on account of the small amount of food in
the intestines; early next morning begin
with the thymol, giving from ten to twenty
grain doses every h(jur till four or five doses
are taken. Usually, within a short time
after the last dose, the bowels begin to act
and the worms appear in the stools.
In case no action is produced in a short
time, it is best to give another purgative.
By this time the patient is weak and nauseated,
and salts may not be retained. In
such cases, a bottle of cold citrate of magnesia
'.effervescent) acts just as well, is
more palatable, and better borne by the
stomach. If the thymol is too irritating to
the stomach, give one-eighth to one-fourth
grain of cocaine l^efore giving first dose.
No food should be allowed the day of treatment
till four or live hours after worms begin
to pass.
Treafment ol the Acute Diarrhoeas ol

the stomach and bowels have been washed
out, morphine 1-100 to 1 20 grain with
atropine 1-250 may be given every two
hours to check the vomiting and excessive
peristalsis. This should be given by the
physician and the effects carefully watched.
