early there will probably be no subsequent state of
great debility, but if great prostration does occur, in
addition to the beef tea, a wineglass of wine should
be given three or four times a day.
5. Medical treatment is not required in the
generality of cases, but twenty (20) drops of the
dilute Muriatic Acid, of the chemists' shops, in a
wineglass of water three or four times a day makes
an agreeable cooling medicine and lessens the
liability to diarrhea or bronchitis. If diarrhœa does
occur, fifteen (15) drops of Laudanum (Ti. Opii)
may be added to each dose, or, if bronchitis, five (5)
drops: in the absence of a medical man other
medicines had better not be tried.
6. When convalescence sets in, the patient may
return gradually to his usual diet, but if the
convalescence is slow and debility continues, three
or four (3 or 4) grains of Quinine may be added to
each dose of the medicine.
7. The above doses are intended for average
adults; to infants, under twelve months, three (3)
drops of the acid and one (1) drop of Laudanum
may be given in a little sugar and water if there be
diarrhœa, and, if debility, half a wineglass of wine in
the course of the twenty-four hours. These doses
are to be increased, according to the age of the
child, up to the full adult dose.
