Tinctura Veratri Albi. Edin. Tincture of White Hellebore

"Take of white hellebore root, bruised, eight ounces; proof spirit, one pound and a half Digest for seven days, and filter through paper."

This tincture is sometimes employed to excite vomiting in maniacal and apoplectic cases; and as an alterative in cutaneous eruptions. It owes its efficacy to an alkaloid, which has been named Veratria, the same principle to which col-chicum owes its virtues. It is given in doses of v. to x.; but it is a very unmanageable remedy, producing sometimes the most violent effects.

Tinctura Zingiberis

Lond. Dub. Tinctura Amomi Zingiberis, Edin. Tincture of Ginger.

"Take of ginger root, sliced, two ounces and a half; rectified spirit, two pints. Macerate for fourteen days (seven days, Dub. Edin,), and filter."

This tincture possesses all the pungency of the ginger, and is useful as a stimulant and carminative, in atonic gout, when it attacks the stomach, in flatulent colic, and as a corrigent to griping purgatives.
