Cream
of
Tartar
Cream
of
Tartar
is
a
purgative
and
refrigerant.
It
is
used
internally
in
dropsy,
especially
of
the
belly,
in
doses
of
from
one
scruple
to
one
drachm.
As
a
refrigerant
drink
it
is
dissolved
in
hot
water,
and
sweetened
with
sugar,
and
is
used
in
febrile
diseases,
care
being
taken
not
to
allow
it
to
rest
too
much
upon
the
bowels.
Dose,
as
a
purgative,
from
two
to
four
drachms,
as
a
hydrogogue,
from
four
to
six
drachms,
mixed
with
honey
or
treacle.
Caution.--Its
use
should
be
followed
by
tonics,
especially
gentian
and
angostura.

Scammony
Scammony
is
a
drastic
purgative,
generally
acting
quickly
and
powerfully;
sometimes
producing
nausea,
and
even
vomiting,
and
being
very
apt
to
gripe.
It
is
used
internally,
to
produce
watery
evacuations
in
dropsy,
to
remove
intestinal
worms,
and
correct
the
slimy
motions
of
children.
Dose,
of
the
powder,
from
five
to
sixteen
grains,
given
in
liquorice
water,
treacle,
or
honey;
of
the
confection,
from
twenty
to
thirty
grains.
Caution.--Do
not
give
it
in
an
irritable
or
inflamed
state
of
the
bowels.

Epsom
Salts
Epsom
Salts
is
a
purgative
and
diuretic.
This
medicine
generally
operates
quickly,
and
therefore
is
extremely
useful
in
acute
diseases.
It
is
found
to
be
beneficial
in
dyspepsia
when
combined
with
infusion
of
gentian
and
a
little
ginger.
It
forms
an
excellent
enema
with
olive
oil.
Dose,
from
a
half
to
two
ounces,
dissolved
in
warm
tea
or
water.
Infusion
of
roses
partially
covers
its
taste
and
assists
its
action.
