D., VERSAILLES, OHIO. THE LITTLE PRINTING CO., BRADFORD, O. <\ ! - ^ INTRODUCTION. * The remedies mentioned in this work are Eclectic, that is, are taken from Eclectic text books, journals, etc. The specific indications are taken from Scudder's works and journal, from The Gleaner and other Eclectic medical journals. It is intended as a handy reference book. When looking for a certain remedy and its specific indication, look for the name of the organ or part upon which the effect of the medicine is desired. For instance : We have a bladder diffi- culty, look for "Bladder," or "Urinary Organs," and not for "Cystitis" etc. We have a heart trouble, look for "Heart," not for "Endocarditis," or "Palpitation," etc. We have a uterine or men- strual derangement, look for "Reproductive Or- gans," or "Menstruation," as the case may be, and so on. * We believe it a handy little book for the busy practitioner, as well as to a medical student. No new indications or medicines are given except- ing those found in Eclectic journals and literature. The Author. Copyright 1892, by J. S. Niederkorn. ABDOMINAL PAIN.
