Alcoholism : Bromides, 652, especially for the "horrors," in drachm doses. Capsicum, 788, for its stomachic tonic and hypnotic qualities. Chloral, 617, very efficient in the acute form, but caution is required in cases with weak heart and in old drunkards. Opium, 640, cautiously, and especially with belladonna, 644. Zinc Oxide, 319, for the chronic state, with piperine or capsicum. Cinchona, 207, especially the C. Rubra, fluid extract. Lupulin, 646, fluid extract with capsicum ; good substitute for alcoholic stimulants. Picrotoxin, 491, for the muscular tremors. Nux Vomica, 484, nerve and stomachic tonic. Pilocarpine, 683, very effective in acute attacks to induce sleep.

Amaurosis : Strychnine, 484, hypodermatically, curative in functional disease caused by tobacco, alcoholic excess, etc. Pilocarpine, 683, and also Picrotoxin, 491.

Amenorrhea : Aconite, 715, for sudden depression due to cold. Aloes, 758, when due to anaemia and torpor. Iron, 151, when anaemia is the cause ; may be given with nerve-stimulants, as nux vomica, chalybeate waters, 161. Apiol, 794, and Hydropiper, 795, when there is functional inactivity of ovaries, preceded by a chalybeate course, by aloes, apiol being given just before the period for several days. Arsenic, 175, as a reconstituent, combined with iron. Gold and Sodium Chloride, 297, a stimulant of the menstrual function ; also, Oxalic Acid, 245. Asafcetida, 551, for the nervous disturbance and as an ovarian stimulant. Electricity, 470, faradic and static; very efficient to start the flow when suitable preparation has been made. Ergot, 501, is useful when plethora exists. Rue, 796, and Savin, 797, are active stimulants, to be given with great caution. Pulsatilla, 722, used under the same circumstances as aconite in sudden arrest of flow. Permanganate of Potassium and Salts of Manganese are the most effective stimulants of the menstrual flow, 158. Anaemia :

Compressed Air, 99. Oxygen, 348. Iron, 146. Ferratin, 153, Homogalol, 154, Hamol, 154, mild preparations as substitutes for iron salts. Arsenic, 175, an adjunct of iron, or when the latter can not be borne. Pepsin and Pancreatin, 106, to aid the primary assimilation. Lacto-phosphate of Lime, 134, a material needed in the anaemia of lactation and of suppuration. Manganese, 156, of use when associated with iron. Galvanization, 469, central, and general faradization, to stimulate the functions of organic life. Wines, 581, especially wines with good body. Bed Marrow of bone, 436.

Anaesthesia : Magnetism, 464, and Metallotherapy, 331, for the hysterical state, and for other forms, the electric brush, 468, and Strychnine, 483.

Anaesthetics : Rules for administration, 603. Morphine, * subcutaneously by the method of Bernard, 602; facilitates the inhalation, lessens the dangers, and prolongs the anaesthetic stage with a less quantity of the anaesthetic. Whisky, 602, administered before inhalation, sustains the heart and prolongs the narcosis. Means of restoration, 604, depressing head, drawing out tongue, artificial respiration, inhalation of ammonia, or intravenous injection of the same, faradization of chest-muscles, electro-puncture of the heart, etc.

Aneurism : Aliment, 54, denutrition-cure. TufnelTs plan, 56. Barium Chloride, 242, acts by raising the arterial tension, and has been used successfully. Iodides, 258, in full doses, relieve pain, and promote coagulation of blood in the sac. Acetate of Lead, 301, depresses the heart and raises the arterial tension. Veratrum Viride, 719, slows the circulation, and thus facilitates coagulation in the sac. Aconite and other arterial sedatives act similarly, but their action must be aided by a proper diet and absolute recumbency. Ergot, 499, especially ergotin subcutaneously, has been very effective. Galvano-puncture, 471, has but rarely succeeded.

Angina Pectoris: Amyl Nitrite, 706, by inhalation, affords prompt relief in cases characterized by elevated arterial tension, but must be used with caution when arteries are atheromatous and heart is fatty. Nitro-glycerin, 709, acts similarly but more slowly, and is more manageable. Arsenic, 173, in full doses, is very efficient as a means of pre-rention. Ether, 593, in small quantity by inhalation, may abort a mild attack, hypo-dermatically, in the worst cases.
