Ginger
Ginger
ia
a
sialogogue,
carminative,
and
stimulant.
It
is
used
internally
in
flatulent
colic,
dyspepsia,
and
to
prevent
the
griping
of
medicines.
When
chewed,
it
acts
as
a
sialogogue,
and
is
therefore
useful
in
relaxed
uvula.
Dose,
from
ten
to
twenty
grains
of
the
powder;
of
the
tincture,
from
ten
minims

Cantharides,
or
Spanish
flies
Cantharides,
or
Spanish
flies,
when
used
internally,
are
diuretic
and
stimulant;
and
epispastic
and
rubefacient
when
applied
externally.
Mode
of
application.--A
portion
of
the
blistering
plaster
is
spread
with
the
thumb
upon
brown
paper,
linen,
or
leather,
to
the
size
required;
its
surface
then
slightly
moistened
with
olive
oil
and
sprinkled
with
camphor,
and
the
plaster
applied
by
a
light
bandage:
or
it
is
spread
on
adhesive
plaster,
and
attached
to
the
skin
by
the
adhesive
margin
of
the
plaster.
Caution.--If
a
blister
is
to
be
applied
to
the
head,
shave
it
at
least
ten
hours
before
it
is
put
on;
it
is
better
to
place
a
thin
piece
of
gauze,
wetted
with
vinegar,
between
the
skin
and
the
blister.
If
a
distressing
feeling
be
experienced
about
the
bladder,
give
warm
and
copious
draughts
of
linseed
tea,
milk,
or
decoction
of
quince
seeds,
and
apply
warm
fomentations
of
milk
and
water
to
the
blistered
surface.
The
period
required
for
a
blister
to
remain
on
varies
from
eight
to
ten
hours
for
adults,
and
from
twenty
minutes
to
two
hours
for
children:
as
soon
as
it
is
removed,
if
the
blister
is
not
raised,
apply
a
"spongio-piline"
poultice,
and
it
will
then
rise
properly.
When
it
is
required
to
act
as
a
rubefacient,
the
blister
should
remain
on
from
one
to
three
hours
for
adults,
and
from
fifteen
to
forty
minutes
for
children.
