d results. The practice of giving
acids for this symptom can only be regarded as irrational. It may arrest
the sweating, but it will do harm in other ways. Belladonna, given at
bed-time, is an effectual remedy.

_Frequency of the pulse_ is generally a prominent symptom in this
disease. It sometimes points to a condition of sufficient importance to
require a remedy. Although the "Golden Medical Discovery" is combined to
meet this condition, its value may be greatly enhanced by adding
one-half to one teaspoonful, according to the urgency of the case and
the frequency of the pulse, of the fluid extract of _Veratrum Viride_ to
each bottle. The benefit of this, when persisted in, will be apparent in
the amelioration of all the symptoms, and in the general improvement.
This fluid extract can be had at any drug store.

_Diarrhea_ is sometimes a troublesome symptom, and particularly so in
the latter stages of the disease. It is generally due to acidity of the
alimentary canal, to which the treatment must be directed. Great care

avoid everything which disagrees with the patient. Improve digestion by
every possible means. Carbonate of soda and rhubarb, in the form of a
syrup, are sometimes excellent. The Compound Extract of Smart-weed, in
small doses, will generally diminish the frequency of the discharges.

_Derangement of the Liver_ is often a complication requiring attention,
and the timely relief of which goes very far in ameliorating the general
condition of the patient. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is generally

considerably increased in this direction by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, according to the directions which accompany them. They
should only be taken in the smallest doses, one or two "Pellets "every
day, just enough to produce a natural movement of the bowels each day.

_Uterine Derangements_. In the female, derangement of the menstrual
function is generally an early complication of consumption, if indeed it
does not occur at the outset. It deserves early attention, and, in
addition to the remedies already advised, Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is so compounded as to meet the requirements of this
condition, and at the same time exert a favorable influence upon the
constitutional disease.
