СКАЧАТЬ Take a little Jamaica ginger in a tablespoonful of brandy or whisky, by the mouth. Chloroform may be administered, either by inhalation or twenty drops of it may be given in a little brandy. In most cases it will be desirable that the patient take some opium, not only to secure immediate relief from the spasm, but also to promote the evacuation of the bowels, which must happen before the patient will be entirely safe from a recurrence of the pain. Twenty drops of laudanum may be given, or if the patient be constantly vomiting, a teaspoonful of laudanum mixed with a little starch may be injected into the rectum. If the pain does not subside within an hour, this dose may be repeated.

      A note about the opium: be very chary of this drug, as Dr Watson informs me that it is highly addictive in nature.

      If there is no vomiting present, and the colic is the result of indigestion, an emetic should be administered in order to empty the stomach. The quickest, though not the most certain, way of securing vomiting, is to tickle the throat with the finger or with a feather; if this measure be not successful, half a tablespoonful of common salt or mustard may be dissolved in a glass of warm water and swallowed. This may be repeated in ten minutes if the vomiting be not induced within that time.

      I hope you feel better soon.

      Best wishes,

      Mrs Hudson

      And now, readers, as promised, here is my recipe for Scotch eggs, a favourite of Dr Waton’s, as well as my grandmother’s recipe for trifle.

      Mrs Hudson’s Scotch Eggs

      Ingredients:

      6 hard-cooked eggs, well chilled

      1 pound breakfast sausage

      1/2 cup flour

      2 eggs, beaten

      3/4 cup fine bread crumbs

      Vegetable oil for frying

      Method:

      Peel eggs and set aside. Divide sausage into 6 portions. Roll each egg in flour and with hands press a portion of the sausage around each egg.

      Dip sausage-wrapped eggs into beaten eggs and roll in bread crumbs. Heat vegetable oil until just beginning to smoke.

      Cook each egg in oil about 4-5 minutes or until sausage is cooked and browned. Drain on paper toweling. Serve warm. Serves six.
