Abstract

died, tin, the black mixture, madpda table with likuorice and vrup, the best purgative in such cases Leschm we genenally applied in bad cases of convulsiona. I myself believe them to be contraindicated. In the first place, conrulsions area nervous affection, dependent upon irritation from a distance. Moreover, loss of blood in children is very depressing and, therefore, whenever practicable, should be avoided, as patients so treated are much longer in convalescing. In the convulsionIs of children, I never omit dashing cold water upon the head and face. The shock, sometimes, acts most beneficially. In conclusion, convulsions of children are a class of disease most distressing to the friends and to the medical man. No class of disease requires more prompt and energetic treatment; or, in my opinion, in the generality of cases, is more amenable to trcatment. No disease so much requires the unwearied attention of the medical man, nor, if successfully treated, gives more satisfaction to the friends.
