DYSENTERY
The most useful remedies in acute cases are; magnesium sul phate (drachm doses of a saturated solution, with aromatic sulphuric acid); calomel in full cathartic dose; ipecac in large doses, combimxi with opium to restrain vomiting; ergot for its antihemorrhagic action. Irrigation of the bowel with mercuric chloride (l;5000) or silver nitrate (12500) or zinc sulphocarbolate (l;l000) is useful in chronic cases.2

INTERMITTENT FEVER
The prophylaxis consists in destroying the mosquitoes whose bites communicate the disease. Quinine (15 to 30 grains or more) given two hours before the expected chili, is the remedy. This should be given on an empty stomach, and preceded by a cholagogue cathartic. Other remedies of importance are arsenic, methylene blue and the other alkaloids of cinchona bark.2
