, f THE CASE.
Several cases have come,tmder my
observation, of sore throat, wherein I
baye ofttn been apptthensire that mt
pa lents would h*ve bean suffocated
In almost tvary instance a gargle of
mustard has been employed with
happiest success ; and as I am ankiu*
ih.d so valuable and speedy a remedy
should be as generally known, as poss
si ole, ,1 havr extracted the following
case from my note book; and as it
raise to its use,T preferred select
ing it, oil that account, to several othe rs
very analogous to it.
Towards the nr iddje of July
laboring mason, , being enroled for fge
national guard, presented him-elf n
this capacity Jto th?. Military Hosp tal
at to winch I was then
physician, for a peripneumonia catarffe
alis. He was bled, puiged, and blister
ed, which, with the Assistance of some
diaphoretic expectorants, nearly* recov
ered him by the end of month,
H's appetite was good, and he had no
further complaint, except an abundant
expectoration, characterised by ill. the
signs .of a critical evacuation. It was at
.this period that he thought proper to
M(uit the hospital without being,disch.tr
gv;d therefrom* Sixteen days afterwards
i was called in to attend hh#«t his broth
er’s, who, fine patient being unable” to
speak J gave me the following account :
That soon alter he runaway, from the
hospital he was to a sliow©jsj|i
ram that soaked him through md
inr*.ugh ; that when he cam© in this’
wyt cbndiUpn inio house, he coin
piainecTol being very cold ; was soon
after seized with suite rings, nd the
next day wuh a sorb throat ; that not
yjSfr'tog to show himself at the hospital
ae hau consulted .mother physician who
■ directyu him to bleed three successive
uriies ; that after *■ each bleeding he
found n tinsels more embarrassed in the
tnroat, and that at he was daily getting
worse and his life despaired of, he sent
tpr me* At this time lie had a very ri*
r.lent caugh, attended With W raising of
a mucuous substance from the lungs as
far as the top of the larynx, where it re
