8. LABOUR

by

Arnica. In order to anticipate and prevent soreness as much as possible, it is well to administer Arnica internally, especially when the labour has been a hard and protracted one; a few drops of the 1x or 2x dilution, in half a tumbler of water; a desert- spoonful to be given every hour or two for three or four times. When the afterbirth has been expelled, Arnica may also be applied externally to the parts by wetting a napkin with Arnica lotion (twenty drops of the tincture to a tumbler of warm water), renewing the application as soon as may be required. If the patient liable to Erysipelas, Hamamelis lotion should be used in preference.

Coffea. Sleeplessness, nervous excitement, and restlessness.

Aconitum may be substituted for Coffea, and given in the same manner, should be feverish symptoms occur.
