Nitric Ether is a refrigerant, diuretic, and antispasmodic, well known as "_sweet spirit of nitre_." _Used externally_, its evaporation relieves headache, and it is sometimes applied to burns. It is used _internally_ to relieve nausea, flatulence, and thirst in fevers; also as a diuretic. _Dose_, from ten minims to one drachm. The smaller dose taken in a little warm water or gruel is useful as a sudorific in cases of cold and chill, to induce and promote the proper action of the skin which has been checked. If a larger dose be taken, it acts as a diuretic and not as a sudorific, and so fails to produce the desired effect. [TO-DAY, HIS FOOD IS DRESSED IN DAINTY FORMS.]
