Take gum guaiac, prickly ash berries (or double as much bark of the

a day to keep the ingredients from becoming impacted at the bottom;
then strain and press out, and then take oil anise and oil peppermint,
of each two drams; alcohol, four ounces. Mix the oils and alcohol

teaspoonful every five minutes till urgent symptoms are checked, then
give it less frequently. It should always be given alone, unmixed with
anything else. In ordinary diarrhoea, one or two teaspoonfuls taken
