Castor
Oil
Castor
Oil
is
a
most
valuable
medicine,
as
it
generally
operates
quickly
and
mildly.
It
is
used
externally,
combined
with
citron
ointment,
as
a
topical
application
in
common
leprosy.
It
is
used
internally
as
an
ordinary
purgative
for
infants,
as
a
laxative
for
adults,
and
in
diarrhoea
and
dysentery.
In
colic
it
is
very
useful
and
safe;
and
also
after
delivery.
Dose
for
infants,
from
forty
drops
to
two
drachms;
for
adults,
from
half
an
ounce
to
one
and
a
half
ounces.
736.
Sulphur.
Sublimed
sulphur
is
laxative
and
diaphoretic.
It
is
used
externally
in
skin
diseases,
especially
itch,
both
in
the
form
of
ointment
and
as
a
vapour
bath.
It
is
used
internally
in
hemorrhoids,
combined
with
magnesia,
as
a
laxative
for
children,
and
as
a
diaphoretic
in
rheumatism.
Dose,
from
one
scruple
to
two
drachms,
mixed
in
milk
or
with
treacle.
When
combined
with
an
equal
proportion
of
cream
of
tartar,
it
acts
as
a
purgative.
737.
Magnesia.
Calcined
magnesia
possesses
the
same
properties
as
the
carbonate.
Dose,
from
ten
to
thirty
grains,
in
milk
or
water.
Carbonate
of
magnesia
is
an
antacid
and
laxative,
and
is
very
useful
for
children
when
teething,
and
for
heartburn
in
adults.
Dose,
from
a
half
to
two
drachms,
in
water
or
milk.
Fluid
Magnesia
is
a
useful
preparation
by
whose
use
is
avoided
the
grittiness
that
is
inseparable
from
magnesia
when
taken
in
the
form
of
powder.
738.
Senna
Senna
is
a
purgative,
but
is
apt
to
gripe
when
given
alone;
therefore
it
is
combined
with
some
aromatic,
such
as
cloves
or
ginger,
and
the
infusion
should
be
made
with
cold
instead
of
hot
water.
It
usually
acts
in
about
four
hours,
but
its
action
should
be
assisted
by
drinking
warm
fluids.
