Since they apparently originate inthe desquamative period, it was supposed that the sequelse had tobe traced to a disturbance of the process of desquamation. Themost common disturbance was supposed to be a cold. We haveendeavored to show that the commencement of all post-scarlatinaldiseases is traceable to the stage of efflorescence, hence that tare continuations of previous beginnings, not new diseases ; andwe here add that the obstinacy of many a consecutive disorder isowing to wrong management during the disease itself and immediately after. From abundant personal experience we recommendthe following rules. The patients should be kept from the commencement of the disease in an ilniform temperature of from fortyto fifty degrees F., and should only be covered with a linen sheeand blankets. If possible, the sick-chamber should be ventilatedseveral times a day, of course with all proper precautions. Thepatient may be allowed to drink pretty large quantities of freshwater, because the fever deprives the body of a large quantity ofmoisture. The juice of fruit is a refreshing beverage, and may beallowed in moderation ; if used too freely, it is apt to cause naand a bad taste in the mouth. Pure malt-beer we have never knownto do any harm. The patients not desiring any food, gruels, milk,and wheaten bread or bread made of unbolted flour, are sufficientnourishment. As soon as the pulse has become normal, the rednesshas disappeared, and the desquamation is fully established, thepatients may be allowed to rise, but the temperature of the roommust be a little higher than while they were confined to their beA fortnight after the disease first broke out, a general ablutionhas been recommended for measles, may take place, and, if theweather permits, the patient may be sent out of the house, of couwith all suitable precautions. No reason can be imagined whysuch a treatment should be injurious.Scarlatina. 629We will now devote some space to the treatment of the anomaliesthat may turn up during the course of the disease, but we shallnot go into details concerning particular indications, for the rethat every epidemic has, after all, to be combated with specificaappropriate medicines whose symptomatic correspondence will haveto be studied out in the Materia Medica.The excessive fever in the preliminary stage, which is often of athreatening character, has to be met by JRhus toxicod. or Arsenicas long as the brain remains free; but if delirium, sopor, etc.,in, Phosphorus or Opium may be tried ; we would likewise recommend Digitalis. — If convulsions set in previous to the appearancof the exan them, .Bfi/ârfonwa is entirely sufficient. If the fein with an adynamic type, and the exanthem delays its appearance,Bryonia alba will meet this condition.We do not dwell upon supposed distinctions between smoothscarlatina and purple-rash, because we believe them to be unfound"We admit that in cases where the angina is very slight or entirewanting.

Bryonia may be sufficient in thlower grades of this fever, but the higher grades require: Rhustoxicod. y Phosphorus, Digitalis, Veratrum album.; the two lastremedies correspond more particularly to the frequent and smallpulse with cerebral symptoms resembling typhus. Ammoniumcarbon, may deserve a preference, if the pulse accompanying thecerebral symptoms is not excessively rapid. Zincum is likewiserecommended in such cases. If a sudden disappearance of the redness is attended with ominous symptoms; if a general paralysisthreatens, Camphora should be resorted to. The special symptomatic indications of these various remedies can be learnt fromthe Materia Medica Pura.The angina, even if only of an erythematous character, is sometimes intense, and Belladonna does not seem to have the least effupon it. In such a case Apis not uufrequently mitigates the severpain. If we may judge by the provings, this agent must be animportant remedy in scarlet-fever ; the clinical record of this d34^'/r ,/'.' ^530 Acute and Chronic Contagious Diseases.is still very scanty. Whether Apis will prevent the inflammationfrom penetrating to the deeper tissues, has not yet been decided.If the angina is accompanied by swelling of the tonsils, Mercuriishould be given ; this remedy often arrests all further progressthis feature of the disease. If the angina is confined to the tonit will seldom be found necessary to give Heparîov the reason thno suppuration generally sets in. If suppuration takes place, Hepsvlphuris cede, should be resorted to without delay. If the inflamation invades the cervical cellular tissue and the cervical glanwhich it may do while Mercurius is being exhibited, in which casethis remedy is no longer indicated, Bryonia may be given. We donot advise a premature lancing of the abscess, because such aproceeding would undoubtedly favor an ichorous decomposition.For chronic suppuration we recommend Siliceaîor subsequent indurations Baryta and Sulphur*A malignant form of angina requires the same treatment asdiphtheritis. Iodine has frequently rendered excellent service inthis aflfection ; Acidum muriaticum is likewise commended ; but,we said before, such recommendations are not always to be dependeupon in all cases, for the reason that one remedy will do betterone epidemic, and the very next epidemic may require a differenttreatment. A scarlatina-coryza sometimes requires a peculiar treament; it often remains even after the diphtheritic angina is cureAurum muriaticum is the most reliable remedy for it; Sepia orCalcarea carbon, is less so.http://www.archive.org/stream/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog/sciencetherapeu00kafkgoog_djvu.txt
