However, the practitioner can help these difficult patients find a physical and mental balance. The drainage techniques, especially organotherapy and satellite remedies, are always necessary to support the injured organs (brain, liver, nerves, pancreas, and stomach). The indications for the use of alcohol in a continued fever are a soft, rapid pulse and a failing of the muscular element in the first sound of the heart. The appearance of restlessness and delirium, dry tongue, distended abdomen and pulmonary congestion calls for an increase in the dose. In diphtheria, alcohol may safely be used from the very beginning in moderate dosage, and increased as the necessity arises. Alcohol does not materially affect the blood pressure and is, therefore, not to be relied upon in a rapidly failing heart or in collapse. Its use is rather to ward off such an emergency than to meet it. The antidotal action of alcohol in the various toxæmias is one of its most valuable attributes; this applies especially to septic conditions and low typhoid states. In diseases of short duration, however, with high fever, it is seldom indicated; in fact, it is useful only when such cases become adynamic. In gastro-intestinal affections and even in nephritis it is not contra-indicated providing it be cautiously administered and well diluted.
