Used
internally,
it
acts
as
a
very
powerful
stimulant:
then
as
a
sedative,
and
finally
as
an
anodyne
and
narcotic,
allaying
pain
in
the
most
extraordinary
manner,
by
acting
directly
upon
the
nervous
system.
In
acute
rheumatism
it
is
a
most
excellent
medicine
when
combined
with
calomel
and
tartrate
of
antimony;
but
its
exhibition
requires
the
judicious
care
of
a
medical
man.
Doses
of
the
various
preparations.--.
Confection
of
opium,
from
five
grains
to
half
a
drachm;
extract
of
opium,
from
one
to
five
grains
(this
is
a
valuable
form,
as
it
does
not
produce
so
much
after
derangement
of
the
nervous
system
as
solid
opium);
pills
of
soap
and
opium,
from
five
to
ten
grains;
compound
ipecacuanha
powder
("Dover's
Powder"),
from
ten
to
fifteen
grains;
compound
kino
powder,
from
five
to
fifteen
grains;
wine
of
opium,
from
ten
minims
to
one
drachm.
Caution.--Opium
is
a
powerful
poison
when
taken
in
too
large
a
quantity
(See
POISONS,
pars.
1340-1367),
and
thus
should
be
used
with
extreme
caution.
It
is
on
this
account
that
we
have
omitted
some
of
its
preparations.
The
best
antidote
for
opium
is
camphor.

Antispasmodics.
Antispasmodics
are
medicines
which
possess
the
power
of
overcoming
the
spasms
of
the
muscles,
or
allaying
any
severe
pain
which
is
not
attended
by
inflammation.
The
class
includes
a
great
many,
but
the
most
safe
and
serviceable
are
ammonia,
assafoetida,
galbanum,
valerian,
bark,
ether,
camphor,
opium,
and
chloroform;
with
the
minerals,
oxide
of
zinc
and
calomel.
702.
Ammonia.
Ammonia,
or
Sal
Volatile,
is
an
antispasmodic
antacid,
stimulant
and
diaphoretic.
