    from a contusion, Rhus is preferable; and when the Periosteum is injured, the best remedy is litita. For SuGiLLATioNS (black and blue spots), when the result of contusion : Am. and rhus are equally valuable ; but when these two medicines are found to be insufficient, recourse may be had to: £r^., con., sulph., and sulph.-ac, or else to ; Dulc, lach., and n.-vom. For Dislocation and Sprains, the principal medicineis Arn. or rhus. But if pain should still be felt after the administration of these two medicines, Am.-c. and ruta., or else: Agn., bell., bry., puis., n.-vom., or sulph. may be employed. Fractures also require Arn. to facilitate the union of the bones; though Ruta or symphitum-officinale are for the most part equally valuable. Burns yield most frequently, where Arnica fails, to an application of common Soap, or to a dose (30th) of Sapo, taken internally, or else to a dose of Aeon. For Wounds, the chief remedies are : Am., cic, staph., and sulph.- ac., also Gran.? [ Calend.—Ed.] as circumstances may permit. Contused Wounds, inflicted by blunt or bruising instruments, such as a hatchet, sabre, sword, &c., require, in preference, Arn. [ Hyper.-perf.—Ed.] Wounds from a Bite are cured most easily by 8ulph.-ac. when Arn. proves insufficient. Bites of Venomous Animals should be treated with Bell., sen., chinin.l ars., laches.? Incised Wounds inflicted by instruments, such as razors, bistou- ries, &c., require Staph, in preference. Wounds caused by Splinters : Aeon., cic, or else : Nitr.-ac, sil., or hep. Chafing of bed-ridden patients : Am., chinin.? In all cases of Wounds with excessive Hemorrhage, which Arn. fails to staunch, Diad. or 2')hos. may be administered ; or else : Chin., when the patient is very weak. [ Calend.^^—Ed.] For wounds which inflatne and suppurate, the medicines chiefly indicated are : Cham., hep., and sil., or else : Merc, puis., and sulph. [ Ca/m^.—Ed.] In case of Gtangrene in wounded parts, Chin, merits a prefe- rence, especially at the commencement; but when the skin has already begun to turn black, recourse must be had either to Lach., ars., or sil. The Convulsions, such as Traumatic Tetanus, &c., which some- limes follow severe mechanical injuries, require Ang. or cocc, when Am., fails to effect a cure.
