_Vaginal Discharges._ Cubebs (125), and Gurjun Balsam (160) internally (_given by the mouth_) and vaginal injections of Lime Water (224), Alum (30) and Decoctions of Babúl Bark (9), Galls (149), or Pomegranate Rind (313) are indicated. [Employ at first simply cold or warm water injections, regulating the temperature according to the feelings of the patient; if these do not benefit, try Solution of Sugar (one part), Water (four parts). Add Alum or other astringents, if necessary, but do not commence with them until a fair trial has been given to the simpler means.—_Aitchison._] For the _Vaginal Discharges of Young Children_, the local application of Lime Water (224), with Fish Liver Oil (138) internally offer the best chance of success.
_Vaginal Irritation_ is often removed, like a charm, by the application to the parts of a very weak solution of Carbolic Acid (one to twenty of Sweet Oil); if used stronger it is apt to cause pain, this pain is at once removed by a free application of sweet oil alone (_Aitchison_).
_Voice, Loss of._ Catechu (89), or any of the other measures directed for _Hoarseness_.
_Vomiting._ Amongst the remedies to allay this, are Infusion of Cloves (105), Infusion of Ginger, (155), Lemon Grass Oil (216*), and Omum Water (318), with or without the addition of a little Opium (290). Apply Mustard Poultices (251), or Turpentine Stupes (362). In obstinate cases try Leeches (213). Lime Water (223*), though especially adapted for _Vomiting arising from Acidity of the Stomach_, is well worthy of a trial in all obstinate cases, especially in the _Vomiting of Infants and Young Children_. It is best given in milk. _Vomiting in Fevers._ Hot Water (358).
_Warts_ seldom resist the persevering application for a week or two of Sulphate of Copper (108); a piece of it moistened should be rubbed lightly over the wart, avoiding the surrounding skin. It may be applied once every day, or every other day.
