Note,
that
with
regard
to
Epsom
salts,
the
larger
in
reason
is
the
amount
of
water
in
which
they
are
taken,
the
smaller
the
dose
of
salts
required:
thus,
half
an
ounce
properly
dissolved
may
be
made
a
strong
dose.
The
action
and
efficacy
of
Epsom
salts
may
be
greatly
increased
by
adding
one
grain
of
tartar
emetic
to
a
dose
of
salts.
