Tartaric
Acid,
when
largely
diluted,
forms
an
excellent
refrigerant
beverage
and
antalkali.
It
enters
into
the
composition
of
extemporaneous
soda
and
Seidlitz
waters.
Dose,
from
ten
to
thirty
grains.
778.
Escharotics.
These
are
remedies
used
to
destroy
the
vitality
of
a
part.
They
comprise
lunar
caustic,
bluestone,
and
solution
of
chloride
of
zinc.
779.
Bluestone,
or
Sulphate
of
Copper
Bluestone,
or
Sulphate
of
Copper,
is
used
in
a
solution
of
from
four
to
fifteen
grains
to
the
ounce
of
water,
and
applied
to
foul
and
indolent
ulcers,
by
means
of
rag
dipped
in
it.
It
is
rubbed
in
substance
on
fungous
growths,
warts,
&c.,
to
destroy
them.
Caution.--It
is
a
poison.
780.
Lunar
Caustic;
or
Nitrate
of
Silver
Lunar
Caustic;
or
Nitrate
of
Silver,
is
an
excellent
remedy
in
erysipelas
when
applied
in
solution
(one
drachm
of
the
salt
to
one
ounce
of
water),
which
should
be
brushed
all
over
the
inflamed
part,
and
for
an
inch
beyond
it.
This
blackens
the
skin,
but
it
soon
peels
off.
To
destroy
warts,
proud
flesh,
and
unhealthy
edges
of
ulcers,
&c.,
it
is
invaluable;
and
as
an
application
to
bed
sores,
pencilled
over
with
a
solution
of
the
same
strength,
and
in
the
same
manner
as
for
erysipelas.
Caution.--It
is
a
poison.
781.
Solution
of
Chloride
of
Zinc,
Solution
of
Chloride
of
Zinc,
more
commonly
known
as
Sir
William
Burnett's
"Disinfecting
Fluid,"
is
a
valuable
escharotic
in
destroying
the
parts
of
poisoned
wounds,
such
as
the
bite
of
a
mad
dog.
It
is
also
very
useful
in
restoring
the
hair
after
the
scalp
has
been
attacked
with
ringworm;
but
its
use
requires
extreme
caution,
as
it
is
a
powerful
escharotic.
In
itch,
diluted
(one
part
to
thirty-two)
with
water,
it
appears
to
answer
very
well.
