![■ The pulvLis glycyrrhizae conip. of the Prussian pharmacopoeia IS. another good laxative. I have kept patients on it for months' and always with benefit. The formula for it is as follows: I^. Pulv. glycyrrh. rad., Pulv senna §ss bulphuns sublim., Pulv foeniculi, aa 3i, bacchar. purif., ^j^g Sig.—One teaspoonful in half a cup of water at bed-time. The Lady Webster pill also is peculiarly suited to many of these cases of obstinate costiveness. Two or three pills maybe given at bed-time. For the following formula for an excellent aperient pill I am indebted to my friend Dr. R. A. Cleemann: ^- gr.xxx Ext. belladonnas, ^ gr'ij Ext. ignatiae, ' grVj. m. Et ft. pil., No. xij, Sig.—One pill at bed-time. The following tonic pills are much prescribed at the clinic:— ]^. Acid, arseniosi, Strychnia sulph., aa gr ' Ext. belladonnge, gr'P Cinchoniae sulph., gr fss Pil. ferri carb., gr.'ijss. M. Et. ft. pil., No. j. Acid, arseniosi, gr^ i Cinchoniae sulph., gr.iss Ferri et potass, tart., gr.ij. M. Et. ft. pil., No. j. R. Pulv. ferri sulphat. exsiccat., gr.xxx Zinci sulphat.. Quiniae sulphat., Ext. hyoscyami, Ext. ig'natiae, aa gr.xv. M. Et. ft. pil., No. XXX. The sulphate of cinchonia in two of these formulas may be advantageously substituted by a proportiotiate dose of sulphate of quinia, the former being used simply on account of its cheap- ness. One pill may be given after each meal.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21928034_0132.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
