 remedy, a poultice of which he applied to the region of the
stomach. The worms were almost instantaneously expelled, but with very
alarming symptoms, and a complete prostration of the patient. From these
circumstances, we should be led to conclude, that its efficacy as a
vermifuge defends either upon its narcotic properties, or upon its
sudden and powerful effect as a cathartic.

Its effects as a _sternutatory_, i. e. as exciting to sneeze, are known
to all. If applied to the nostrils, in the form of a powder or snuff, it
produces violent and repeated sneezing, with a slight degree of vertigo.
The violent agitation produced in this way, together with a copious
discharge from the nostrils, often relieves catarrh, headache, and
incipient opthalmia or inflammation of the eyes. But habit soon blunts
the sensibility of the organs, and much positive injury follows the
habitual use of snuff. It has been a popular remedy in many places for
the cure of scald-head, psora, and most other cutaneous eruptions. It
has also been applied for cleansing ulcers, and for the removal of
indolent tumors. But the dreadful effects produced by it when absorbed
into the system, have induced most medical men to abandon it altogether,
and prescribe a more safe application.

Though it is said, by Dr. Brailsford, to be a _sudorific_ of
considerable efficacy, I am in possession of no facts which go to
support such a conclusion, unless indeed it be the fact, that it in an
eminent degree brings on that cold perspiration of which we have spoken,
and which is, in many instances, the immediate precursor of death.

But of all others, its _diuretic_ properties have been the most lauded.
Dr. Fowler was the first to bring them extensively into notice. In
dropsy, dysury, gravel, and nephritis calculosa or inflammation of the
kidneys, the infusion and tincture were given by him with astonishing
success. In spasmodic asthma, the same distinguished physician found it
to afford relief.

Mr. Earle, a surgeon of some eminence, has more recently treated several
inv
remedy, a poultice of which he applied to the region of the 
 stomach. The worm were about instantaneously expelled, but with very 
 alarming symptoms, and a accomplished collapse of the patient. From these 
 circumstances, we should be led to reason, that its efficacy as a 
 vermifuge defends either upon its narcotic property, or upon its 
 sudden and powerful consequence as a cathartic. 

 Its effects as a _ sternutatory _, i. e. as exciting to sneeze, are known 
 to all. If apply to the nostrils, in the form of a powder or snuff, it 
 produces violent and perennial sneezing, with a slight degree of vertigo. 
 The crimson agitation produced in this way, in concert with a copious 
 release from the nostrils, much relieves catarrh, headache, and 
 incipient opthalmia or inflammation of the eye. But habit soon blunts 
 the sensibility of the organs, and much positive wound follow the 
 habitual use of snuff. It has been a popular remedy in many places for 
 the cure of scald - head, psora, and most early cutaneous volcanic eruption. It 
 has also been enforce for cleanse ulcers, and for the removal of 
 indolent tumors. But the awful effects produced by it when absorbed 
 into the system, have induce most medical men to abandon it altogether, 
 and order a more safe application. 

 Though it is said, by Dr. Brailsford, to be a _ sudorific _ of 
 considerable efficacy, I am in possession of no facts which go to 
 corroborate such a conclusion, unless indeed it be the fact, that it in an 
 eminent degree brings on that cold perspiration of which we have spoken, 
 and which is, in many instances, the contiguous precursor of death.
