    ^00 TREATMENT. The most useful remedies in arresting this discharge are Terebinthina, Alumen, Plurnbi acetas, Ergota, Tinctura Ferri sesguichloridi, and the mineral acids; and to these may be added, although less certain in their action, Cannahinum, and Acidum Gallicum. In dispensary, as well as in private practice, I have found Terebinthina an invaluable agent in controlling hsemorrhage from the uterus. Passive or chronic menorrhagia, congestive menorrhagia of the more advanced period of life, and profuse menstruation in feeble con- stitutions, may be treated successfully by this medicine. The spirit should be given in doses of ten to twenty minims, every four or six hours, and the dose can be diminished on the supervention of nausea or diarrhoea. In severe cases, however, it is better not to rely on one remedy ; the medicines in the sub- joined formulae will be found efficacious :— ]^ Spt.
