87 In the advanced stages of the disease, when there is debility, with stupor and delirium, stimulants must be given, and con- tinued, until the solution of the disease, and until convales- cence has ensued ; wine whey, Longworth's Catawba wine, porter, and even brandy may be administered at intervals with excellent effect. Sulphuric Ether is often efficacious in cases of sudden and great prostration. The temperature of the sys- tem must also be regulated as much as possible, by the appli- cati...on of sinapisms, hot bricks, or bottles of hot water, etc. , kept constantly to the feet and legs, and cold or cooling washes applied to the head. Excessive stimulation to the lower ex- tremities must be avoided, lest sloughing should take place. If the como or delirium be obstinate, the hair may be cut or shaved off, and the cooling washes continued. The diet of the patient, in the early part of the disease, should be very light and usually of a liquid character, as toast- water, solution of Gum Arabic, rice-water, weak Indian-meal gruel, together with the juice of sweet grapes and oranges.
