I remember too well the old doctor who sometimes came to help me through those inward griefs to which childhood is liable. "Far off his coming " shall I say "shone," and finish the Miltonic phrase, or leave the verb to the happy conjectures of my audience? Before him came a soul-subduing whiff of ipecacuanha, and after him lingered a shuddering consciousness of rhubarb.
Here also are found the copal-tree, the palma-christi, the ipecacuanha the root of which is so extensively used in medicine the liquid amber, as well as caoutchouc. Here the vast ceiba, or silk-cotton-tree, is abundant, from which canoes are frequently hollowed out. Indeed, a considerable number of the trees found on the banks of the Orinoco and Amazon here also come to perfection.
Why, take a few grains of ipecacuanha; enough to make me reach like a fury. Good! But how wilt thou manage to bring up blood, and not hurt thyself? Foolish fellow! Are there no pigeons and chickens in every poulterer's shop? Cry thy mercy. But then I will be persuaded by Mrs.
An intelligent correspondent of mine makes the following valuable remarks on the preservation of Ipecacuanha Wine: "Now, I know that there are some medicines and chemical preparations which, though they spoil rapidly when at all exposed to the air, yet will keep perfectly good for an indefinite time if hermetically sealed up in a perfectly full bottle.
"I should have liked to have emptied the contents of some of my bottles into the wine," the Doctor growled; "it would not have been strictly professional, perhaps, but it would have been a good action." "I am sure you would not have given them poison, Doctor," Wilson laughed; "but a reasonable dose of ipecacuanha might hardly have gone against your conscience."
I never, in my life, lost a child with croup with catarrhal croup where I was called in at the commencement of the disease, and where my plans were carried out to the very letter. Let me begin by saying, look well to the goodness and purity of the medicine, for the life of your child may depend upon the medicine being genuine. What medicine! Ipecacuanha Wine!
The above suggestion of preserving Ipecacuanha Wine in ounce bottles, quite full, and hermetically sealed, is a very good one.
After that, it settled in the streets, and took up its special abode in Bellevue Lodge; till Miss Euphemia coughed so that she had to take two ipecacuanha lozenges, and Mr Sharnall was forced to ring for a lamp to see his victuals.
There are two measures which, while waiting for the doctor's arrival, may at once be taken, and which sometimes remove the symptoms almost as if by magic, while even were the case one of diphtheria they would still be of some service, and could not possibly do any harm. They are the hot bath, and a full dose of ipecacuanha wine.
The best way of hermetically sealing the bottle would be, to cut the cork level with the lip of the bottle, and to cover the cork with sealing-wax, in the same manner wine merchants serve some kinds of their wines, and then to lay the bottles on their sides in sawdust in the cellar. I have no doubt, if such a plan were adopted, the Ipecacuanha Wine would for a length of time keep good.
