Dose,
as
a
deobstruent
and
alterative,
from
one
to
five
grains,
daily;
as
a
cathartic,
from
five
to
fifteen
grains;
to
produce
ptyalism,
or
salivation,
from
one
to
two
grains,
in
a
pill,
with
a
quarter
of
a
grain
of
opium,
night
and
morning.
Caution.--When
taking
calomel,
exposure
to
cold
or
dampness
should
be
guarded
against,
as
such
an
imprudence
would
bring
out
an
eruption
of
the
skin,
attended
with
fever.
When
this
does
occur,
leave
off
the
calomel,
and
give
bark,
wine,
and
purgatives;
take
a
warm
bath
twice
a
day,
and
powder
the
surface
of
the
body
with
powdered
starch.

Tonics.
Tonics
are
given
to
improve
the
tone
of
the
system,
and
restore
the
natural
energies
and
general
strength
of
the
body.
They
consist
of
bark,
quassia,
gentian,
camomile,
wormwood,
and
angostura
bark.
715.
Quassia
Quassia
is
a
simple
tonic,
and
can
be
used
with
safety
by
any
one,
as
it
does
not
increase
the
animal
heat,
or
quicken
the
circulation.
Used
internally,
in
the
form
of
infusion,
it
has
been
found
of
great
benefit
in
indigestion
and
nervous
irritability,
and
is
useful
after
bilious
fevers
and
diarrhoea.
Dose,
of
the
infusion,
from
one
and
a
half
to
two
ounces,
three
times
a
day.
716.
Gentian
Gentian
is
an
excellent
tonic
and
stomachic;
but
when
given
in
large
doses,
it
acts
as
an
aperient.
It
is
used
internally
in
all
cases
of
general
debility,
and
when
combined
with
bark
is
used
in
intermittent
fevers.
It
has
also
been
employed
in
indigestion,
and
it
is
sometimes
used,
combined
with
sal
volatile,
in
that
disease;
but,
at
other
times
alone,
in
the
form
of
infusion.
After
diarrhoea,
it
proves
a
useful
tonic.
Its
infusion
is
sometimes
applied
externally
to
foul
ulcers.
