Genes are the building blocks of inheritance. Passed from parent to child, they contain
instructions for making proteins. If genes don't produce the right proteins or don't produce them
correctly, a child can have a genetic disorder.
Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease.
The most common form of gene therapy involves inserting a normal gene to replace an
abnormal gene. Other approaches include:
Swapping an abnormal gene for a normal one
Repairing an abnormal gene
Altering the degree to which a gene is turned on or off
Although there is much hope for gene therapy, it is still experimental.

TOE NAIL FUNGUS [Onychomycosis] The only real "cure" is taking Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) tablets prescribed by a doctor. The longer durations (at weaker doses) allow the nail to grow out. However, this medication can damage your liver. Once the initial infection is under control, brush Vicks Vaporub (or generic) under and around the nail with a toothbrush twice a day to reduce the chance of coming back.Sleslie | July 26th, 2021

coryza and in hemorrhoids, associated generally with cocaine. Dose.
0.2 to 0.3 Grm. (3 to 5 grs.), which may be increased if the remedy is
well borne.3
BLACKBERRY (Rubus)RUBUS The bark of the root of RUBUs VILLOSUS, Ait. and other allied

BLACK PEPPERPINI3 The dried uuripe fruit of PIPER NIGRUM, L. Local and general
stimulant and irritant, antiperiodic, stomachic, carminative. Used
in malarial fevers, in flatulency and colic, etc. PI PERIN, which was
formerly believed to be the active principle of the drug and prescribed
in doses of 0.06 to 0.6 (1 to 10 grs.) as an antiperiodic, is new little
used.3
BOLDOPEBO5 The leaves of BOLDU BOLDUS,(Mol). Lyons [Peumus Boldus, Mol.].
Aromatic, diuretic, cholagogue, antiseptic; in large doses narcotic
and irritant. Prescribed in chronic diseases of the genito-urinary
tract, in atonic dyspepsia and as a general tonic.3
BROMIDES Since the medicinal action of the several alkaline bromides is es
sentially the same, and they are frequently prescribed in combina
tion, they are grouped here under a single head. They are sedative
to the cerebro-spinal centers and hence employed in epilepsy, in in
fantile convulsions, in tetanus, in strychnine poisoning, in whooping
cough and generally for quieting nervous excitement and in particu
lar sexual erethism. In epilepsy a combination of two or more brom
ides often gives better resul3
CAMPHOR MONOBROMATED This compound of camphor possesses properties quite distinct
from those of camphor itself. It is used chiefly as an antispasmodic
in epilepsy, chorea and paralysis agitans and as a calmative agent
generally, but its usefulness is limited owing to liability to produce
gastric disturbance. Dose. 0.06 to 0.3 Grm. (1 to 5 grs.).3
CHLORODYNE A popular combination of anodynes much used for relief of colic,
cholera morbus and spasmodic pains in general. Each fluidrachm

Quinine (q. v.) but not so liable to produce ringing in the ears and
vertigo as that alkaloid. Dose of the sulphate as tonic, 0.015 to 0.13
Grm. (1/2 to 2 grs.) three times a day; as antiperiodic, 0.6 to 1.3 Grm.
(10 to 20 grs.) during the six hours preceding the expected paroxysm.3
