The medical treatment involves the administration of homoeopathic remedies, only a few of which are described in this work-Agnus Cas., Bary.-Carb., China, Cantharis, Phosphorus, Platina, Ignatia, Ac.-Phosphorus, Gelsemium, Staphysagria, Iris., Nux V., Sulphur, etc., the selection and doses of which can only be determined by the local and general symptoms of individual cases. Amplitude of resources are pre-eminently necessary in the successful management of this affection. (See Materia Medica).
Although alone insufficient, the treatment by appropriately chosen drugs has often a marvellous power in speedily correcting the most distressing cases that come under our notice; but it would far exceed the limits of this work to state the indications for the various remedies that are prescribed in this affection.
The hygienic treatment must be considered from a high standpoint, and include the commercial, social, and moral relationships of the patient-occupation, recreation, literary tastes, and mental and moral discipline; diet, sleep, bathing, etc. The circumstances of each patient should be diligently investigated, and the management strictly regulated accordingly.
