.MALARIAL POISON.
HOW IT ACTS, WHAT IT DOES, AND
HOW IT CAN BE EXPELLED.
Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb
Agus, and All Malarial Diseases
Permanently Cured.
Extract From a Lecture Delivered at the
Surgical Hotel, Columbus, Ohio,
By DR.. y. B. Hartman.

The diseases set up in the system by
the poison called malaria are classed
under two heads-regular and jrregu-
lar. The regular forms are known as
intermittent (also called chills and
fever, fever and ague,) and remlttent
Tor bilious fever.
The regular intermittent fever (also
called fever and ague), which produces
a distinct chill, followed by high
fever, and ali interval OF one, two or
three days of entire relief, ls well
known in malarial localities, especially
by the earlier settlers. When the
chill and fever occurs every day 1t is
called quotidian ague; every other
day, tertian ague; and every third day,
ouan tan ague. The longer the inter
val between the chills the more diff
cult of cure it is; hence the quantan
ague is the most obstinate. In inter
mittent fever there is distinct chill,
followed by distinct fever, distinct
sweating stage, and atterward an in,
terval of complete cessation of all
symptoms, leaving one seemingly per-
fectly well,
The irregular varieties are first,

sence of a chill, the attack beginning
with headache and fever, followed by
sweating stage and perfect intermis
sion. There may be neither fever or
sweating stage, but only a chill. fol-

ing above eyebrows around the head,
with regular intervals, coming on
about | or 2 p. H., growing more
severe from to 5 p. M, and finally
disappearing after shutdown. 1t may
occur in the morning, or at noon and
in some cases at sunrise, increasing uu-
til noon, gradually disappearing in
the afternoon. giving a perfect inter-
mission during the plight.
The medical treatment OF any form
of malarial diseases, where there is q
distinct intermission, whether of the
intermittent, remittent, or irregular
type, should be mainly between the
attacks, and not during the paroXysm.
In the intermittent variety, during
the intermission, wineglassful OF Pc
ru-na every two hours children in
proportion) should be taken until four
doses are taken, after which table
spoonful every hour during the re-
mainder of the intermission until the
time for the next chill has passed.
And when the disease is stopped a
tablespoonful every two hours during
the day should be taken for 10 or 10
days, or until the cure is permanent.
A wineglassful should also be taken at
the first sypmton of a chill.
1t is seldom that second chill
occurs after this treatment is
begun, but the above treatment should
be repeated after each chill, if any do
occur. In cases where no regular in
occurs, but is very irregu
lar and uncertain, Pe-ru.na should be
taken as directed on the bottle. ,-
No other medicine whatever is re-
CURED. Any mediciae in this disease
is better received by the stomach dur
ing the remission than during the hot
stage. No quinine is necessary at any
stage of the disease, as Pe-ru-na meets
every indication from first to last, and
no injurious effects will follow the use
of very large doses of it, which is some-
times necessary to check the more
severe cases.
