PRURITIS.

_Treatment_: A very mortifying and uncomfortable affliction,

accompanied by an almost uncontrollable desire to scratch the parts.

The itching is due to uncleanliness, excessive masturbation, violent

intercourse, inflammation of the bladder, stomach or liver trouble

etc. Bathe the affected parts well with borax water, and apply a

wash of equal parts witch hazel, and an infusion of lobelia. Use mild

laxatives to keep the bowels open.
