And these flapdoodle drinks that you inoculate your system with these little essences of cowslip with acorns in 'em, and paregoric flip they ain't anyways in assent with the cordiality of manhood. I hate to see you this way." "Well, Mr. Greenbrier," said Merritt, with apology in his tone, "in a way you are right. Sometimes I do feel like I was being raised on the bottle.
I have known the inflammation of a very bad burn extracted in one night, by the constant application of brandy, vinegar, and water, mixed together. This feels cool and pleasant, and a few drops of paregoric will soon put the little sufferer to sleep. The bathing should be continued till the pain is gone.
My friend was by this time quite of the same opinion himself; and he thereupon quitted the profession, with no more medical knowledge than the art of mixing suitable portions of salts and senna for children, and the preparation of cough-drops, by compounding the syrup of squills with paregoric and balsam of honey in equal proportions which mixture, by the way, is the best prescription to be found in the Vade Mecum of any physician in Christendom from Sir Astley Cooper down to Hahnnemann, of all medical humbugs the chief.
"Young man," he said as he gave to me a very powerful shake, "all women are poison but some are vitriol and others just Oh, well, paregoric. Go out there and take another dose of that soothing syrup labeled Susan Tomlinson, before I take you home, and you keep away from vitriol or I'll break your hot young head. Vitriol, mind you!"
And as I always give paregoric to the children when they cough, I concluded that it would be good for the horse, so I bought a bucketful and gave it to him with sugar." "A bucketful of paregoric, my love! It was enough to kill him." "Patrick said that was a regular dose for a horse of sedentary habits; and it didn't kill him: it put him to sleep.
Hanway-Harley doubted neither the propriety nor the feasibility of establishing a censorship over Dorothy's heart, should the young lady evince a blinded inability to see her own welfare. "That is what a mother is for," she ruminated. Mrs. Hanway-Harley had forcibly administered paregoric in Dorothy's babyhood; she was ready to forcibly administer a husband now Dorothy was grown up.
Paregoric, too combining two of the most dangerous of all substances, alcohol and opium was a favorite medicine of my excellent mother, and in all the little ailments of childhood was freely administered. So highly thought she of it that on my leaving home at fifteen for Cambridge University she put a large vial of it in my trunk, with the injunction to take of it, if ever sick.
Warlock, dear boy, you don't happen to have a bottle of paregoric with you, do you, now?" "Paregoric!" exclaimed Billy. "Why, is the child sick?" "Hanged if I know!" Mr. Wrangler replied, with evident sincerity. "I'm not what you'd call a connoisseur in infantile disorders, but I guess she's sick. Anyhow, something's the matter.
In case of a child swallowing by mistake either laudanum, or paregoric, or Godfrey's Cordial, or any other preparation of opium, what ought to be done? Give, as quickly as possible, a strong mustard emetic; that is to say, mix two tea-spoonfuls of flour of mustard in half a tea-cupful of water, and force it down his throat.
If you ask it for pain-killer it will not give you a bonbon. The Blue Light scorns the labour-saving arts of modern pharmacy. It macerates its opium and percolates its own laudanum and paregoric.
