ENDOCARDITIS & MYOCARDITIS



The diagnosis of myocarditis is nearly impossible. There are no symptoms or signs which can warrant a positive opinion.

The treatment does not differ materially from the advised in the former diseases. I will suggest, however, that where there is reason to suspect myocarditis, aconite, bryonia, belladonna, cimicifuga, and other medicines having a special affinity for muscular structure, would be chiefly indicated.
