Intercostal Neuralgia.It is almost always possible to find three painful points, one just beside the spinal column, another about half way around the chest, and the third near the breast bone. These three points will all be found between the same pair of ribs, between the seventh and eighth for example, or between the fifth and sixth ribs. This form of neuralgia occurs more frequently on the left than on the right side, and oftener in females than in males. It seems to be more frequent, too, among the poorer classes than among those who are comfortably situated. Treatment.-In nearly all cases of intercostal neuralgia the patient requires tonics, especially iron and quinine, which may be ordered in one of the prescriptions given in the discussion of neu ralgia in general. Chloroform liniment, or the tincture of aconite, may be applied to the skin where pain is felt. In obstinate cases it may be necessary to use blisters, which may be applied over the most painful points.
