AN ACCOUNT OF THE EFFICACY OF COMMON SALT, IN THE CURE OF Haemoptysis.FROM the present established opinions and prac|tice respecting the cause and cure of haemoptysis, the last medicine that would occur to a regular-bred physician for the cure of it, is COMMON SALT; and yet I have seen and heard of a great number of cases, in which it has been administered with success.THE mode of giving it, is to pour down from a tea, to a table-spoonful of clean fine salt, as soon as possible after the haemorrhage begins from the lungs. This quantity generally stops it; but the dose must be repeated daily for three or four days, to prevent a re|turn of the disorder. If the bleeding continues, the salt must be continued till it is checked, but in larger doses. I have heard of several instances in which two table-spoonfuls were taken at one time for several days.IT sometimes excites a sickness at the stomach, and never fails to produce a burning sensation in the throat in its passage into the stomach, and considerable thirst afterwards.0
