PREFACE. 


The  alterations  of  Nomenclature,  recently 
adopted  by  the  LONDON,  DUBLIN,  and 
EDINBURGH  Colleges,  being  productive  of 
much  difficulty  to  the  St  udent,  and  even  of  cm-, 
burrassmentto  the  more  experienced,  it  appeared 
to  me  that  a Conspectus,  such  as  is  now  offered 
to  the  public,  accompanied  by  proper  tables 
of  Syuonimes,  would  be  a companion  no  less 
acceptable  to  the  senior,  than  usciui  to  tue  ju- 


nior practitioners. 

To  combine  the  advantages  of  conciseness, 
perspicuity,  and  utility,  has  been  my  first  wish 
in  the  compilation  of  the  following  pages  ; but 
it  must  be  remembered  that  abridgement  is  a 
task  which  requires  no  less  experience  and 
judgement,  than  patience  and  assiduity the 
first  effort  must  consequently  be  imperfect,  and 


,cd  the  most  liberal  indulgence. 

It  may  be  conceived  by  many,  that  I have 
,cn  needlessly  prolix  in  my  accounts  ot  borne

— and  unpardonably  brief  in- my  notice  of 
other  articles — -This  error,  if  it  be  esteemed 
such,  originated  in  my  wish  to  introduce  every 
thing  of  importance  respecting  such  substances, 
as,  however  generally  and  .indiscriminately  em- 
ployed, possess  great  energy,  and  consequently 
require  extreme  caution.  Opium,  for  example, 
is  an  article  of  the  very  first  importance,  yet 
it  is  one  which  every  empiric  conceives  himself 
authorized  to  exhibit  without  caution,  and 
without  discrimination  : hence  much  mischief 
and  much  prejudice,  against  a most  truly  va- 
luable medicine,  have  arisen. — With  a view  of 
obviating  the  latter,  and,  if  possible,  prevent- 
ing the  former,  I have  been  led  to  detail  with 
perhaps  a tedious  minuteness  the  various  cir- 
cumstances which  tend  to  influence  its  opera- 
tion, and  the  several  cautions  which  should 
attend  its  exhibition.  Alcohol,  Wine,  Water, 
and  various  other  articles  of  common  use, 
have,  from  similar  motives,  obtained  a larger 
share  ofattention  than  they  may  on  a first  view 
seem  to  merit : while  the  necessity  of  confining 
my  volume  within  portable  limits,  obliged  me

to  dwell  with  the  greatest  brevity  on  articles 
. of- little  medical  efficacy,  and  omit  such  as  are 
purely  pharmaceutical.  Upon  the  subject 
of  Water  l must  observe  that,  since  a conside- 
rable portion  of  this-  work  was  printed  off,  a 
case  of  the  efficacy  of  the  warm  bath,  in  re-- 
storing  suspended  animation,  lias  been  commu- 
nicated to  me:  notice  should  have  been  taken  of 
this  fact  in  its  proper  place  but  for  the  cir- 
cumstance just  stated. 

Adopting  the  plan  of  my  predecessors  in  the 
task  of  com  piling  a pocket  guide  to  the  Pharma- 
copoeia, i have,  with  but  few  exceptions,  cal- 
culated the  doses  °f  medicines  for  a iults  ; and 
have  inserted  in  the  copper-plate,  prefixed  to 
the  title,  a table  for  ascertaining  their  propor* 
tionate  reduction.  It  is  proper  however  to 
caution  the  young  practitioner  against  regula- 
ting his  prescriptions  solely  by  the  age  of  his 
patient : it  being  also  necessary  to  take  into 
account  the  nature  of  the  complaint , — strength 
of  constitution, — particular  habits  and  idiosyn - 
cracits — and  above  all — the  variable  activity 
of  the  remedy — This  latter  particular  ? should

in  a more  especial  manner , bp  attended  too;' 
since  it  is  wcl  known  that  the  virtues  of  many 
articles,  those  of  the  vegetable  kingdom  in 
particular,  are  infill*  need  by  causes  which  we 
cannot  always  controul,  and  the  extent  of 
whose  operation  can  only  be  ascertain-  d by 
actual  trial.  Thus  for  example,  the  Tinclura 
DigitaHs , and  Tincturn  Opii,  are  greatly  af- 
fected bodi  by  time  and  exposure  to  light; 
while  the  powers  of  His^talis,  Colchicum , and 
various  other  galenicals,  are  regulated,  not 
ordy  by  the  season  at  which  they  have  been 
s d ‘ t*-  d,  but  also  by  the  attention  paid  to 
theirdrying:  hence  it  is  conseqently  of  impor- 
tance to  reduce  the  dose  very  considerably,  as 
often  as  we  begin  a fresh  portion  of  the  medi- 
cine; since  a neglect  of  this  precaution  lias 
been  but  too  frequently  productive  of  the  most 
fatal  resu  <s. 

A s the  new  method  of  determining  the  smal- 
ler quantities  of  fluids,  by  the  subdivisions  of 
tlie  drachm  measure,  is  liable  to  inaccuracy 
from  the  circumstance  of  a minim  ft  he  60th 
part  of  the  drachm)  being  very  generally

esteemed  equivalent  to  a drop  ; (of  which  six- 
ty are  computed  to  equal  a drachm  measure)  I 
think  it  of  importance  to  observe,  that  though 
this  rule  is  in  general  correct  as  far  as  water, 
and  aqueous  solutions  are  concerned,  yet  that 
with  respect  to  spirits  and  tinctures,  it  is  ex. 
tremely  errroneous:  for  if  we  make  (he  experi- 
ment with  brandy,  or  common  proof  spirit, 
we  shall  find  that  instead  of  60, 140  drops  at 
least  are  necessary  to  fill  a drachm  measure; 
consequently  a measured  minim  being  the  60th 
part  of  a measured  drachm,  is  equivalent  to 
nearly  2 drops  and  a half  of  spirit  ; as  the 
specific  gravity  of  tinctures  is  in  general,  how- 
ever, somewhat  above  that  of  proof  spirit,  we 
cannot  greatly  err  in  estimating  (lie  minim -as 
equal  to  two  drops  of  a tincture,  and  ordering 
consequently  but  half  the  number  of  minims  in 
our  prescriptions. 

A number  of  Formulae  will  be  found  incor- 
porated in  the  first  part,  and  references  to  them 
are  annexed  to  the  classes  under  which  they 
should  perhaps,  in  stric  t propriety,  have  been 
inserted  in  the  second  part:  but  I have  in  this

vi 


compilation  been  mare  studious  to  facilitate  re- 
ference, and  accomodate  my  readers,  than  to 
sacrafice  these  important  objects,  to  systema- 
tic arrangement : where  the  hitter  was  compu- 
table with  the  former  i have  endeavoured  ri- 
gidly to  adhere  to  it — where  it  was  otherwise, 
I have  sacrificed  the  elegant  to  the  useful. 

I have  likewise  in  the  following  pages,  em- 
ployed various  terms  which  are  regarded  by 
many  as  barbarous,  obsolete,  and  unmeaning  : 
some  apology  will  perhaps  be  esteemed  neces- 
sary for  their  introduction  ; but  the  sanction 
which  they  derive  from  long  established  use, 
and  the  circumstance  of  their  precluding  much, 
and  often  clumsy  circumlocution,  will,  I trust, 
be  admitted  as  a sufficient  plea  for  their  adop- 
tion. 

Upon  the  recommendation  and  authority  of 
practitioners  of eminence  and  experience,  I have 
given  a place  to  several  articles  which  have  not 
yet  made  their  wa  y into  the  Materia  Medica  of 
our  Colleges — for  having  thus  added  to  our  al- 
ready too  extensive  catalogue,  I must  request 
the  indulgence  of  those  who  dissaprove  of  their 
insertion.

The  attention  of  ilie  medical  world  lias  been 
recently  directed  to  an  investigation  of  the 
virtues  of  the  Aranea , whose  efficacy  in  the  re- 
moval of  violent  and  obstinate  iniermittents 
was  much,  and,  1 have  reason  to  believe,  not 
unjustly  commended  by  the  ingenious  Dr  Jack- 
son  : in  some  cases  of  extreme  nervous  irrita- 
bility, where,  from  a peculiar  idiosyncracy, 
the  use  of  opiates  was  inadmissible,  the  Aranea 
has  been  exhibited  with  the  most  decided  ad- 
vantage. Dr.  Jackson  has  more  recently  cal- 
led our  atentii.n  to  the  long  neglected  virtues 
of  die  Euphrasia  officinalis  or  Eye-bright , a 
strong  decoction  of  which  he  recommends  in 
some  affections  of  the  sight. 

As  the  celebrity  of  the  Aranea  does  not  yet 
appear  sufficiently  established,  and  as  its  effica- 
cy is  still  much  disputed,  l have  refrained  from 
giving  it  a place  in  the  first  part  of  tiiis  volume, 
but  have  slightly  noticed  it  under  the  classof  Se- 
datives. Dr.  Jackson’s  paper  on  the  Euphra- 
sia did  not  reach  me  till  this  work  was  nearly 
printed  oft’;  I have  consequently  been  unable 
to  notice  it  except  in  the  present  place.

Uavirg  premised  thus  much  it  will  be  su- 
perfluous to  enter  into  any  further  explanation 
of  the  plan  of  this  little  manual,  since  it  must 
be  sufficiently  obvious,  and  does  not -materi- 
ally differ  from  that  ol  Dr.  Grave’s  valuable 
Conspectus.  Some  apology  may  appear  ne- 
cessary for  the  almost  unpardonable  delay 
•which  has  occurred  since  the  work  was  first 
announced  for  publication;  but  i beg  leave  to

i Diluted  Acid  is  directed  by  the  three  Colleges  to  be 
1,280.  When  the  Nitrous  gas  is  expelled  by  heat  from 
this  acid,  it  becomes  the  colourless  Nitric  Acid  of 
the  Edinburgh  College  : Diluted  in  the  proportion 
of  dr.  ij.  to  oct.  ij.  or  more  of  an  infusion  of  Le- 
:inon-peel,  and  sweetened  with  sugar  &c.  it  forms 
an  agreeable  and  valuable  antiphlogistic  drink, 
particularly  beneficial  in  febrile  affections  attended 
with  a deranged  action  of  the  liver,  as  also  in  scro- 
phulous,  scorbutic,  herpetic,  and  other  similar  affec- 
tions; it  is  also  useful  in  cases  of  Dyspepsia,  and 
stomachic  irritability  ; we  are  likewise  informed  that 
it  has  been  successfully  exhibited  in  Ascites  produced 
by  hard  living,  in  which  the  liver  was,  most  probably, 
more  or  less  affected.  In  syphilitic  cases  it  has  been

largely  and  successfully  exhibited  by  Mr.  Scot,  of 
Bombay,  who  assisted  its  operation  by  the  external- 
use  of  the  acid  in  form  of  a bath  ; it  is  certainly  a 
powerfully  auxiliary  to  mercury,  but.  should  not  be 
solely  depended  upon.  Dr.  Kinglake  of  Taunton* 
has  been  in  the  habit  of  giving  min.  x — xxx  of  the 
dilute  nitric  acid  ter  quotid.  in  icteric  cases  produced 
by  biliary  calculi  obstructing  the  ducts  5 he  also  re- 
commends its  trial  in  cases  of  urinary  calculus.  Ni-

on, from  a mixture  equal  weights  of  powdered  nitre 
and  Sulpb.  Acid.

been  suggested  as  a proper  remedy  in  cases  of  Exostosis,,

Acoroides  (is,/-)  resinifera.  One.  of  the  class 
of  Arundints,  yielding,  by  exudation,  a resinous 
substance,  which,  in  its  purest  state,  is  of  a yellow- 
colour  resembling  gamboge,  and  is  commonly  tho’ 
improperly  called  the  yellow  Gum  from  Botany  Bay ; 
it  is  sparingly  soluble  in  water,  but  gr.  iv.  being- 
taken  up  by  an  ounce,  it  is  however  highly  soluble  in 
alcohol,  and  is  also  acted  upon  by  pure  ammonia, 
and  the  fixed  alkalies  : when  taken  in  substance  it 
has  but  little  perceptible  taste,  its  preparations  how- 
ever, especially  the  tincture,  have  a strong  flavour  of 
Balsam  of  Tolu.  As  a medicine  it  promises  to  be  a 
valuable  tonic  and  antispasmodic,  and  is  particularly 
serviceable  in  all  cases  of  injury  to  the  organs  of  di- 
gestion from  hard  drinking,  &c.  Its  best  forms  of

Being  usually  impregnated  with  more  or  less  Sulphu-

rectified  AEther  (./Ether  recti  pjcatus)  from  which 
the  disengaged  acid  is  abstracted  by  potassa.  ./Ether 
is  antispasmodic,  cordial,  diaphoretic ; dose  min. 
v.  dr.j.;  empirics  have  however  in  some  cases  given 
it  with  advantage  in  much  larger  doses.  Inhalation 
of  the  vapour  of  aether  often  relieves  the  paroxysms 
of  asthma,  and  is  of  use  in  catarrhs  : aether  is  given, 
hr  the  low  stages  of  Typhus,  in  cases  of  retrocedent 
Exanthemata,  and  in  various  spasmodic,  as  well  as 
soporose  affections,  as  Hysteria  and  Apoplexy.  Ex- 
ternally, when  allowed  to  evaporate,  it  is  a most  pow- 
erful refrigerant,  producing  the  most  intense  cold  y 
when  confined  so  as  to  prevent  evaporation  it  is  ru-

largely  indebted.  Water,  of  the  temperature  of 
35° — 55°  Fuhr.  may  be  used  either  internally 
or  externally  at  any  time  when  the  beat  of  the 
body  is  great  and  steadily  above  the  natural  stan- 
dard. It  should  never  be  used  externally  when  the 
.stomach  is  loaded,  the  beat  unsteady,  when  a sense 
of  chilliness  prevails,  the  cooling  of  the  body  has 
commenced,  a copious  general  perspiration  has  bro- 
ken out,  or  the  body  is  exhausted  by  fatigue,  or  long 
indisposition  : during  the  operation  we  should  care- 
fully watch  the  reduction  of  the  patients  heat  by 
means  of  a small  thermometer  placed  under  his 
tongue  or  axilla.  At  the  height  of  the  paroxysm  in 
tetanus,  and  most  other  convulsive  disorders  ( Rabies 
canina  or  Hydrophobia  excepted)  suddenly  plunging 
the  patient  into  the  cold  bath  cuts  the  attack  short, 
and  the  frequent  repetition  of  this  practice  will  in 
most  cases  produce  a speedy  solution  of  the  disease. 
Cold  affusion  or  immersion  seems  to  be  of  doubtful 
efficacy  in  catarrhal  affections,  Dysentery,  and  cases 
attended  with  active  visceral  inflammation.  As  a be- 
verage cold  water  is  among  the  best  we  possess,  and 
copious  dilution  with  it  is  necessary  in  Ascites,  and 
all  other  cases  in  which  diuretics  are  employed  : it 
may  be  purified  for  use  by  the  following  cheap  me- 
thod of  liberation  ; Place  horizontally , in  an  empty 
flower  pot,  a wicker  frame,  strew  over  it  a layer  of 
finely  powdered  charcoal  of  4 or  5 inches  in  thick- 
ness ; above  this  lay  a bed  of  fine  and  well  washed 
sand,  and  cover  this  with  a sheet  of  paper  ( pierced 
fall  of  boh  s ) !o  prevent  the  water  forming  pits  in  the 
spud  as  it  is  poured  on.  The.  charcoal  and  sand  should 
be  changed  about  once  a mjmlh  or  oftener.

The  use  of  tepid  water  f65° — Q/°  Fahr.)  is 
proper  in  cases  in  which  general  debility,  or  a lower 
temperature  of  the  body,  (little  if  at  all  above  the 
natural  standard,)  render  cold  affusion  less  proper  : 
it  may  also  be  employed  as  preparatory  to,  or  vica- 
rious of  this  last.  The  warm  bath  (980 — 104°) 
was  much  used  as  an  article  of  luxury  among  the' 

; ancients,  and  is  extremely  useful  in  a medical  point 
of  view:  at  the  temperature  of  even  105°,  it  was 
•found  of  infinite  use  in  the  case  of  an  apothecary’s 
apprentice  who  had  by  mistake  swallowed  an  over- 
dose of  laudanum  : the  water  at  this  temperature 
was  dashed  over  his  naked  body.  Ste  Currie  s Re- 
ports, vol.  2,  p.  79.  Loud.  18C5.  In  cramp  of  the 
stomach,  arising  from  a spasm  of  the  muscular  fi- 
bres of  the  pyloric  portion,  a draught  of  water  taken  as 
hot  as  it  can  be  borne,  affords  in-tant  relief:  hot 
water  lately  formed  a fashionable  remedy  in  dyspep- 
tic cases.

mce  it  is  preferred  in  urgent  cases,  but,  as  it  ef- 
cts  are  no  less  transitory  than  sudden,  it  will,  in

foreign  Dispensatories,  and  is  an  useful  gargle 
for  venereal  sore  throats  it  also  serves  as  an  injec- 
tion in  some  cases  of  gonorrhoea,  and  as  a lotion  in 
many  cutaneous  affections.  When  rejected  by  the 
stomach  it  may  be  given  in  clysters.  Gowland’s Lo- 
tion is  nothing  more  than  a solution  of  this  salt  in  an 
emulsion  formed  from  bitter  almonds.  A weak  so- 
lution in  spirit  of  rosemary  is  also  a good  cosmetic. 

Sub-Murias,  L.  The  adoption  of  the 

sublimed,  in  preference  to  the  precipitated  sub- 
muriate, appears  to  be  somewhat  injudicious, 
as  the  salt  obtained  in  the  latter  way  is  more 
uniform  in  composition,  as  well  as  milder  in  ope- 
ration, than  that  obtained  by  sublimation.  This 
salt  has  been  long  known  under  the  name  of  Calo- 
mel, and  is  most  extensively  employed.  It  is  capable 
of  curing  Syphilis  under  almost  every  form  ; in  doses 
of  gr.  j — ij.  bis  quot.  combined  with  opium  to  pre- 
vent purging,  it  proves  sialagogue  j but  when  given 
to  the  extent  of  gr.  iij — vj.  or  more,  it  usually  oper- 
ates as  a purgative.  Combined  with  other  medi- 
cines, whether  diuretic,  diaphoretic,  or  purgative, 
it  promotes  the  specific  operation  of  each.  Calomel 
in  doses  of  gr.  viij.  with  gr.  iv.  of  antimonial  pow- 
der, has  been  successfully  exhibited  in  cases  of  Ty- 
phus, being  given  every  six  hours  in  slight  cases, 
but,  in  the  more  urgent,  every  two  or  three  hours, 
pushing  it  even  to  incipient  salivation  ; indeed  its 
combinations  with  antimony  are  truly  valuable: 
of  these  Plummer’s  pill  has  long,  and  not  unde- 
servedly obtained  an  extensive  reputation.  (See  Pi - 
lulce  Hydrargyri  Submuriati$.)  The  compound 
Calomef  pill  of  Bartholomew’s  is  similar  in  compo-

iition  as  well  as  efficacy,  being  an  excellent  altera- 
tive and  deobstruent  in  cases  of  glandular  obstruc- 
tions, chronic  eruptions,  and  chronic  visceral  in- 
r-flammations,  especially  those  of  the  liver.  Calo- 
mel is  also  an  useful  remedy  in  those  cases  of  para- 
! lysis  which  are  produced  by  lead  : gr.  j.  triturated 
•■■with  a little  sugar  forms  a good  errhine  in  some

stroys specks.

contain  gr.  xl.  of  mercury  in  dr.  j.  The  London 
Preparation  contains  little  more  than  gr.  xxxiij. 
in  dr.  j.  The  minute  division  of  the  mercury 
in  these  preparations  facilitates  its  action  upon  the 
salivary  glands,  while,  from  the  circumstance  of 
its  being  combined  with  the  least  possible  dose  of 
oxygen,  it  is  milder  in  its  operation,  and  acts  less 
upon  the  bowels  than  any  other  mercurial  ; hence 
it  is  singularly  well  adapted  to  those  complaints  of 
children  in  which  the  Sub-muriate  is  of  doubtful 
propriety;  dose  gr.  x — xxx  for  adults — gr.  ij — viiss.

A Phosphate  obtained  by  dropping  Phosphoric 
acid  into  the  Nitrous  Solution  has  been  much  com- 
mended in  cases  of  Syphilis  : from  its  extreme  ac-

■ co-operation  of  other  remedies  of  the  same  class.  As

talis, in  the  cases  in  which  Dr.  Griffith's  Mixture

to  its  effects  : the  best  is  brought  from  Turkey, 

■ that  obtained  from  the  East  Indies  being  vastly  infe- 
rior in  activity.  The  sedative  effects  of  Opium  are, 
as  Dr.  Currie  very  justly  remarks,  frequently  coun- 
teracted by  the  stimulus  of  heat,  a circumstance 
which  should  never  be  overlooked  in  practice. 

Opium  seems  to  augment  the  restlessness  in  Fe- 
ver, whenever  the  beat  of  the  body  is  much  above 
tbe  natural  standard,  and  the  shin  feels  dry  and 
burning  : but,  when  tbe  beat  is  subsiding,  and  the 
skin, — though  not  actually  moist, — begins  to  relax, 
opium,  will  generally  be  found  to  accelerate  pers- 
piration, and — by  thus  reducing  tbe  beat, — pro- 
duces its  own  specific  effect.  Hence  we  are  directed 
either  to  abstain  fiom  the  use  of  opiates  until!  a re- 
duction of  tbe  beat,  and  a relaxation  of  tbe  skin, 
has  been  previously  obtained  ; or  to  exhibit  them  in 
cofijunction  vvith  relaxants  as  in  the  Pulv.  Ipec. 
Compos,  or  combined  with  antimonials.  R.  Aq.

the  bunting  beat  and  dryness  of  the  skin  still  obsti- 
nately continue^  we  may  further  call  in  the  aid  of 
cold  or  tepid  affusion.  (See  Currie's  Reports.) 
An  empirical  combination  of  Opium  with  some  of 
the  vegetable  acids  has  been  lately  brought  forward 
under  the  name  of  the  Black  Drop,  and  seems,  ac- 
cording to  t he  concurring  testimony  of  many  eminent 
practitioners,  to  be  a truly  valuable  preparation. 

The  combination  of  Opium  with  Antimonials, 
has  lately  been  employed  with  the  most  decided  ad- 
vantage at  the  Bristol  Infirmary  in  cases  of  Teta- 
nus, general  as  well  as  partial  doses  of  gr.  ss. 
of  Opium  and  gr  iv.  of  Antimonial  powder  were 
given  every  hour  in  one  case,  with  the  happiest  re- 
sults, and  without  exciting  any  disagreeable  symp- 
toms. 

In  combination  with  mercurials  opium  has  been 
successfully  employed  in  the  Malignant  fever,  in- 
troduced into  the  West  Indies  in  the  year  1 7p3  : 
it  was  given  as  follows,  R.  Hyd.  Sub-Muriatis,  gr.

geously combined  with  Calomel  in  that  painful  af- 
fection of  the  face  called  by  the  French,  Tic  Dolo- 
reux  ; it  was  given  in  the  following  form,  and  the 
practice  pushed  even  to  salivation,  mitigated  how- 
ever by  the  use  of  occasional  laxatives : R.  Opiit

Mr.  Benjamin  Bell  advises  the  internal  use  of 
opium,  along  with  the  external  application  of  fari- 
naceous powders,  for  the  cure  of  the  Erythema 
'Mercur;ale;  whenever  in  these  cases  the  opium  pro- 
duces, as  it  does  occasionally,  an  uneasy  itching, 
:it  would  perhaps  be  advisable  to  try  the  effects 
i of  Henbane. 

During  the  exhibition  of  opiates,  costiveness 
.should  be  assiduously  obviated,  and  where  their  use 
is  productive  of  nausea  and  anorexia  in  the  morn- 
ing, aromatics,  (when  not  contra-indicated  by  the  na- 
ture of  the  case,)  will  be  proper  adjuncts.  Camphor, 
the  vegetable  acids,  and  coffee  counteract  the  bad 
reflects  of  this  powerful  narcotic.  In  a case  re- 
ccorded  by  Dr.  Currie,  in  which  an  overdose  of 
wery  considerable  magnitude  had  been  taken,  dash- 
iing  water  at  the  temperature  of  nearly  10(5°  over 
tthe  naked  body  of  the  patient  was  effectual  in  over- 
tcoming  the  poisonous  effects  of  the  opium.  Opi- 
mm  is  employed  externally  in  liniments  and  ungu- 
tents.  See  Tinct.  et  Vinum  Opii.

Tabaci  Folia,  L.  ( Nicotiana , D.  N.  Tabacum,

•fusion  of  unc.  j.  tooct.j.  of  water  may  be  given  as 
,a  diuretic  in  doses  of  min.  lx — lxx.  to  adults,  min. 
xl.  to  children  of  12  years  old,  or  xx.  to  those  of  5. 
A Tincture  and  vinous  infusion  prepared  in  the  same 
■proportions  are  also  employed;  and  in  one  or  other 
of  these  forms  Tobacco  is  of  infinite  use  in  cases  of 
. spasmodic  Dysuria.  Applied  in  the  form  of  a cata- 
plasm to  the  scrobiculus  cordis,  the  leaves  of  this 
plant  produce  an  emetic  operation.  The  extract 
obtained  from  a decoction  of  the  leaves  (previous- 
ly macerated  for  a considerable  time  in  6 or  8 times 
their  own  weight  of  water)  is  expectorant.  Tobac- 
co is  inferior  as  a hydragogue  to  Squills  and  most 
other  remedies  of  that  class.  In  cases  of  obstinate 
constipation,  especially  when  the  result  of  spasm, 
clysters  of  the  smoke  or  infusion  of  Tobacco  leaves 
produce  almost  instant  relief ; vomiting  is  not  an 
unusual  attendant  upon  this  practice,  which  is 
frequently  also  adopted  in  the  reduction  of  strangu- 
lated Hernia.  Tobacco  Clysters  are  likewise  effec- 
tual in  destroying  Ascarides.  The  well  known  Err- 
hine  called  Snuff  is  prepared  from  the  dried  leaves. 
Tobacco,  when  chewed,  operates  as  a sialagogue, 
and  is  in  this  way  frequently  of  service  in  removing 
Tooth-ache.

of  wine  upon  the  system  vary  not  only  with  the  dose, 
but  also  with  the  age,  constitution,  health,  and  ha- 
bits of  those  who  take  it : in  moderation  it  is  no  less 
agreeable  than  wholesome;  in  excess,  eminently 
injurious.  The  acidulous  wines  (as  the  Rbcmsh) 
are  least  stimulant,  and  most  diuretic  : the  sweet 
wines  are  more  nourishing,  but,  at  the  same  time, 
more  stimulant  ; while,  according  to  Dr.  Pearson, 
the  soft  wines  (i?s  Claret,  &c  ) hold  nearly  a mid- 
dle rank  : Port,  one  of  the  astringent  wines,  is, 
•when  least,  adulterated . the  most  generous  and  sto- 
machic, agreeing  best  with  our  constitutions:  Ma- 
deira, Sherry , and  the  libcnisb  Wines  are  best  cal- 
culated for  gouty,  and  dyspeptic  patients.  Port  is 
of  the  first  value  as  an  antiseptic,  tonic,  and  stimu- 
lant; and  may  be  given,  more  or  less  diluted  and 
acidulated,  to  an  extent  proportioned  to  its  effects 
upon  the  system,  and  the  degree  of  debility  pre-
