each time. I think this is better than to
give the pure tincture. After the patient becomes quiet and easy,
_Veratrum_ should be given in alternation with Camphor, a dose in four
to six hours for several days, or oftener if he feels any symptoms like
a threatened return of the disease. These two medicines serve as
_prophylactics_ (preventives) of Cholera.

If, however, the disease continues in spite of the Camphor and Veratrum,
in the first instance, or later, (as the Camphor may be given in many
cases with success in the advance stage,) you must resort to other
remedies.

If vomiting comes on with burning in the stomach give _Ipecac_ and
_Arsenicum_ in alternation as often as the vomiting occurs, and if the
diarrhoea continues give _Veratrum_ between the doses of the other
two, in a violent case, as often as every ten to fifteen minutes, and at
longer intervals when the disease is slow in its progress. If the
vomiting and diarrhoea, or either, occur with a kind of explosion, the
vomiting ceasing suddenly for the time, after the first _gush_, or the
discharges from the bowels are involuntary, _Secale_ is the specific
remedy.

For the cramping, _Cuprum_ and _Veratrum_ are the remedies to be given
alternately.

If, however, the _cramping_ comes on as the first symptom, which is
sometimes the case, the patient being suddenly seized with it before any
other alarming symptoms occur, _Camphor_ is _the great remedy_, and in
this case it may be given in doses of double or treble the quantity
before directed.

If he sinks into the _collapse_ and lies quiet, indifferent to
everything, the pulse sinking, or he is pulseless, _Carbo Veg._ will
sometimes arouse and restore him, hopeless as the case appears. It
should be given once in half an hour until the pulse begins to rise. If,
however, instead of being quiet he is restless and thirsty, give
_Arsenicum_ in alternation with _Carbo Veg._, repeating the dose as
above directed. In some cases, after all the active symptoms cease, the
patient will become quiet and drop to sleep, and instead of the pulse
rising, as it will if he is recovering, it sinks, or does not appear if
he has been pulseless, and the breathing becomes irregular and
feeble--he is sinking. If aroused, he sinks back into the stupor in a
few moments as before. _Laurocerasus_ is a specific for this condition.
It should be given once an hour until he is aroused.

If, however, besides the stupor, the head is hot,
