Method as extracted

  1. Mix according to the source passage: In the interval between the periods, those emmenagogues must be employed which moderately act upon the intestines, and at the same time give vigour to the circulation ; as, for example, pills of myrrh, sulphate of iron, and aloes ; or pretty full doses, two or three times in the day, of the carbonate of iron, with a moderate dose, every second night, of the decoctum aloes compositum. The tepid pediluvium, or hip-bath, with friction of the back and limbs at bed-time, more especially just before the menstrual period, may be prac- tised ; and in this species of epilepsy also the patient ought to have the benefit of sea- bathing, and frequent changes of residence.
