Gastralgia : Aquapunciure, 809, injections under the skin of water over the epigastrium, afford* much relief. Alum, 336, is useful in the cases with acidity and pyrosis.

Bismuth, 163, and with Creosote and Glycerin, 379. Silver, 301, Zinc Oxide, 318, and Manganese Oxides, 156, make a permanent impression on the nerve-endings in the mucous membrane, and hence give-permanent results. Hydrocyanic Acid, 701, and Cyanide Potass., 703, if successful, are speedily so. Nitro-glycerin, 709, also acts quickly and often effectively. In cases having a distinct periodicity. Quinine, 200, and Salicylic Acid, 395, have acted well, and Resorcin, 404, will probably be found beneficial. Nux Vomica, 482, may remove the morbid state on which the pain depends.

Arsenic, 171 ; Fowler's solution in drop-doses also lessens pain and vomiting remarkably. Silver Oxide and Nitrate, 301, promote cicatrization and relieve pain. Morphine and Atropine, 635, 645, arrest pain and vomiting, even in very minute quantity.

Gastritis, Acute : Ice, 82, Hydrocyanic Acid, 701, Morphine, 635, subcutaneously or endermically. Creosote, 379. Rectal Alimentation, 71. Papain, 108, in the apepsia of infants.
