Excerpt from The Medical and Surgical Reporter, Vol. 54: January-July, 1886 To afford relief and, if possible, cure the case. I recommend the following: Two parts of chloroform, two of olive oil, twenty five cubic centimetres Of the tincture of aco nite, and fifty of kerosene oil, to be rubbed on the head, covered with a cotton bandage. Mark this distinctly, because it might be mistaken for some remedy taken internally, and it would be a dangerous dose for any one. It prevents a too rapid evaporation of the chloroform, and at the same time pro teets the painful parts; it prevents the irri table nerves from atmospheric changes, and a recurrence of the attack. Also make a solution of strychnia {0 grain to three ounces of water, and add to it a little acetic acid, the acetic acid being used to complete the solu tion of strychnia. Sig. - Take two table spoonfuls three times a day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
