No real danger attends these eruptions, which are generally known by
the names of red-gum, nettle-rash, &c. All that is required to be
done, is to keep the bowels open by such means as are prescribed in
the foregoing articles; and to guard against cold, which might drive
the eruption inwardly, and thus produce internal inflammations of a
critical nature. If the milk or food be considered the cause, the
nurse, or diet, ought to be changed: and if sickness and vomiting
should prevail, it will be proper to give the _absorbent mixture_
mentioned under the head GRIPING AND FLATULENCY.
