GRATIOLA officinalis. HEDGE-HYSSOP. Herb. E. D. The leaves have a very bitter disagreeable taste: an infusion of a handful of them when fresh, or a dram when dried, is said to operate strongly as a cathartic. Kramer reports that he has found the root of this plant a medicine similar in virtue to Ipecacuanha. Similar Plants. Lythrum Salicaria; Scutellaria galericulata. HELLEBORUS niger.
Take of Compound Powder of Ipecacuanha, five grains; Ipecacuanha Wine, one drachm; Simple Syrup, three drachms; Cinnamon Water, nine drachms; To make a Mixture, A tea-spoonful to be given every three or four hours, first well shaking the bottle. Supposing he cannot retain the mixture the stomach rejecting it as soon as swallowed what then?
Ipecacuanha was administered; and that having sufficiently worked, a small quantity of diluted sulphuric acid was given. A fortnight afterwards she was perfectly well. 'Inversion of the Uterus in a Bull Bitch after Pupping. Extirpation and Cure. By M. Cross, M. V., Milan. In July, 1829, I was desired to attend a small bull bitch six years old, and who had had puppies four times.
Different kinds of diabetes require different methods of cure. For the first kind, or chyliferous diabetes, after clearing the stomach and intestines, by ipecacuanha and rhubarb, to evacuate any acid material, which may too powerfully stimulate the mouths of the lacteals, repeated and large doses of tincture of cantharides have been much recommended.
Notwithstanding which, it is your duty, where practicable, to send, at the very onset of the disease, for a medical man. Let me again reiterate that, if your child is to be saved, the Ipecacuanha Wine must be genuine and good. This can only be effected by having the medicine from a highly respectable chemist.
Large, cake-like spleens were greatly reduced by local applications of tincture of iodine, and the internal administration of small doses of quinine and iodine of potassium. Chronic diarrhoea yielded readily to a few doses of castor oil, followed by opium and tannic acid. Acute and chronic dysentery was treated by ipecacuanha, followed by astringents.
But remember the emetic which is given at first is pure Ipecacuanha Wine, without a drop of either water or of syrup. A large sponge dipped out of very hot water, and applied to the throat, and frequently renewed, oftentimes affords great relief in croup, and ought during the time the emetic is being administered in all cases to be adopted.
A certain quantity of stimulus, less than that above mentioned, inverts the order of successive fibrous contractions; as in vomiting the vermicular motions of the stomach and duodenum are inverted, and their contents ejected, which is probably owing to the exhaustion of the spirit of animation in the acting muscles by a previous excessive stimulus, as by the root of ipecacuanha, and the consequent defect of sensorial power.
"I write in ipecacuanha that the Bourbons are restored." "What right have we to prescribe laws to France? Here we are retrograding to the dull, stupid old system, balance of Europe poising straws on kings' noses, instead of wringing them off." "The king-times are fast finishing. There will be blood shed like water, and tears like mist; but the peoples will conquer in the end.
Take a drug take ipecac, for example. Take a lot of ipecac. Take all there is! See? There you are! There aren't unlimited supplies of ipecacuanha can't be! and it's a thing people must have. Then quinine again! You watch your chance, wait for a tropical war breaking out, let's say, and collar all the quinine. Where ARE they? Must have quinine, you know. Eh? Zzzz.
