page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henry Hanks, of 146, Mile End Road, in the
County of Middlesex, Physician and Surgeon, for the Invention
of "NEURALGIA, TICDOULOUREUX, FACEACHE, TOOTHACHE, RHEUMATIC

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Hanks at the
"Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
29th October 1875.
I, HENRY HANKS, of 146, Mile End Road, London, in the County of
Middlesex, Physician and Surgeon, do hereby declare the nature of
the said Invention for "NEURALGIA, TIC-DOULOUREUX, FACEACHE, TOOTHACHE,
RHEUMATIC NEURALGIA, SCIATICA, NERVOUS DISORDERS, NERVOUSNESS, NERVOUS
HEADACHE, NERVOUS DEBILITY, AND NERVE PAINS," to be as follows:-
A medicinal compound composed of
-

page_text: Alumen, grs. ij.
Aqua camphoræ, 3 v. 3 vss.
The medicinal compound formed by the preceding preparations
operates as an antiperiodic tonic, anodyne, antacid, stomachic, and
antispasmodic properties, which are essential for the relief of the
complaints cited above.
The quiniæ sulphas, tinctura opii, and chloroformum are beneficial in
all the affections enumerated, and the potassii bromidum is serviceable
in that form of neuralgia called spasmodic neuralgia. Quiniæ sulphas
as a tonic, and chloroformum as a stimulant, are useful in nervousness,
nervous headache, and nervous debility, while the tinctura opii,
chloroformum, and quininæ sulphas given in combination assuage the
pain of neuralgia, ticdouloureux, toothache, faceache, rheumatic
neuralgia, and sciatica. The sodæ bicarbonas contributes towards the
relief of the rheumatic element of the compound affection rheumatic
neuralgia, and the quiniæ sulphas tends to interrupt the periodical
return of the attacks of neuralgia, ticdouloureux, rheumatic neuralgia,
and sciatica.
Many patients affected with neuralgia, ticdouloureux, rheumatic
neuralgia, and sciatica suffer from dyspepsia or indigestion, which is
attended with flatulence, acidity of the stomach, loss of appetite,
nervousness, and despondency, therefore the ammoniæ carbonas, soda
bicarbonas, quiniæ sulphas, chloroformum, oleum menthæ piperitæ, and
aqua camphora, are beneficial; the ammoniæ carbonas, and sodæ
bicarbonas counteracting the acidity of the stomach, and these, in
conjunction with the chloroformum and oleum mentha piperitæ expel
the flatus from the stomach, and thereby relieve reflex neuralgia of
the face, or ticdouloureux, and neuralgia of the dental nerves.
The pulvis glycyrrhizæ facilitates the combination of the chloro-
formum, and the infusum cocci improves the appearance of the

page_text: compound, the alumen removing the opacity of the infusum cocci.
The aqua camphoræ serves chiefly as a vehicle for the administration
of the other preparations.
It is as a compound preparation that the success of the Invention
depends on, neither of the ingredients being separately efficacious. It
invigorates the body, removes pain, promotes sleep, improves digestion,
gives tone to the nervous system, and enlivens the spirits of the nervous
and desponding, all important indications in the rational treatment of
neuralgia, ticdouloureux, faceache, toothache, rheumatic neuralgia,
sciatica, nervous disorders, nervousness, nervous headache, nervous
debility, and nerve pains. It has relieved the pain of neuralgia of the
face, or ticdouloureux, and rheumatic neuralgia in persons who have
previously had several teeth extracted, and that without any benefit.
The compound acts as a local application, and also as an internal and
constitutional medicine, frequently, when held over the painful teeth
and gums in ticdouloureux, toothache, and faceache, arresting the pain
before it is swallowed.
It is the medicinal compound formed by the several preparations of
which it is composed, and the adaptation of this compound as a local.
application and also an internal medicine that constitute the novelties of
the Invention, the value and utility of which has been appreciated by
many sufferers from the complaints mentioned above.
It is necessary that the bottle should be shaken before the dose of
medicine is poured out, and a sixth part of the mixture should be taken
every six hours.
In ticdouloureux, toothache, faceache, and rheumatic
neuralgia of the teeth, hold the medicine over the painful teeth and
gums and afterwards swallow it.
