All the soluble salts of Barium are poisonous ; in small doses they are used as alterative and deobstruent remedies, in scro- fulous diseases [when attended by an irritable and febrile state of the system], cancer, skin-diseases, &c. ; but require caution. The Chloride of Barium (Barii Chloridum, formerly Barylce Murias) is most frequently used. Dose, one to two grains, sometimes increased to five grains [Neligan] ; usually in solution. The poisonous effects of an over-dose should be combated, in the first instance, by sul- phate of magnesia or of soda, or bf dilute sulphuric acid. The other preparations and doses are— Liquor Barii Chioriii. 5 to 15 minims. Barii Todidum, 1 to 3 or 4 grains. Barii Bromidum, the same. 740 9 Solut.
