Aperient
Pills.
To
some
adults
all
liquid
medicines
produce
such
nausea
that
pills
are
the
only
form
in
which
aperients
can
be
exhibited;
the
following
is
a
useful
formula:
i.
Take
of
compound
rhubarb
pill
a
drachm
and
one
scruple,
of
powdered
ipecacuanha
ten
grains,
and
of
extract
of
hyoscyamus
one
scruple;
mix,
and
beat
into
a
mass,
and
divide
into
twenty-four
pills;
take
one
or
two,
or
if
of
a
very
costive
habit,
three
at
bedtime.
ii.
For
persons
requiring
a
more
powerful
aperient,
the
same
formula,
with
twenty
grains
of
compound
extract
of
colocynth,
will
form
a
good
purgative
pill.
The
mass
receiving
this
addition
must
be
divided
into
thirty,
instead
of
twenty-four
pills.
