Sometimes the troubledoes not cease spontaneously until after the patient is thirty yeold. This form <strong>of</strong> inflammation which, under similar circumstances, may likewise occur at the knee, never results in suppuration.<strong>The</strong> treatment involves difficulties for the reason that we areentrusted with it at too late a period, and likewise because we cnever expect to accomplish a rapid success. At the outset <strong>of</strong> theinflammation we may still hope to accomplish something by means<strong>of</strong> Staphysagria^ Ledurrij Sabina^ jRuta, Mezereum; but it is onlyfew cases that we succeed in preventing suppuration. If the bonesare the starting-point <strong>of</strong> the inflammation, Belladonna and Mercurius are preferable to the previously-named remedies. Suppuration generally sets in slowly and amid signs <strong>of</strong> an apparentimprovement which, 'however, should not deceive us. Suitableremedies are : CcUcarea carbonica^ and especially He-par stdphuribesides which we have Graphites j if the metatarsus is likevriseinvolved. If the abscess bursts on the outside, the same remedieshave to be employed that have been recommended for tumor albnsunder similar circumstances, to which Aurum may still be added.Poultices are out <strong>of</strong> place in an affection <strong>of</strong> such slow growth. TArteries. 435abscess sTiould never be lanced; a tight bandage scarcely everagrees with the patient's feeling <strong>of</strong> comfort.For flat foot Staphysagria and Graphites seem to us to be thebest remedies ; their effect is, however, questionable, for the rthat in all the cases that we have had to treat, we have alwaysresorted to a firm bandage, most generally a starched bandage, inorder to afford the joint the necessary support ; indeed we have<strong>of</strong>ten cured this disorder radically by means <strong>of</strong> such a bandage*Shoes fi.rmly laced beyond the ankles, and with only moderatelyhigh heels, are indispensable.Articular inflammations <strong>of</strong> the upper extremities are less important, because they are less dangerous to the organism. Suppuratiois borne for years without any great inroad upon the general heal<strong>The</strong> remedies to be employed are mostly the same as those mentioned for inflammations <strong>of</strong> the lower extremities ; other remediecan be found in the Materia Medica, which is so much more practicable as the disease does not require any immediate medicinalinterference.B.
