Hints: In the Treatment of small-pox as in the treatment of all other diseases, the subjective and objective symptoms, should be very carefully considered. In obstinate cases the family history should be examined. Mere name of the disease will never help the prescriber. Generally I have found, the doses of the indicated remedy can be repeated with advantage. Where complication develops, attention should be paid to it in an examination of the symptoms.
When a remedy is carefully selected taking all symptoms into consideration, it should be steadily given at least for 48 or 72 hours and grood results will be seen in the fall of temperature. With the fall of fever the eruptions dry up and the first indication for this drying up is the dark colour of eruptions which were whitish before the medicine. If there be swelling, it will commence to decrease within 24 hours of the exhibition of the indicated remedy.
In all my cases I have observed marked improvement within 24 hours and sometimes within 12 hours. If I notice improvement only in fever I never change remedy. Fall of temperature is the surest sign of improvement. After giving the medicine closely watch your patient whether any of the symptoms is showing any decrease. It is a very remarkable thing to know or recognise signs of amelioration in whatever quarter it may be.
