42. The chief use of Atís is in the treatment of _Intermittent Fever and other periodical fevers_, and in these it often proves most valuable. It should be given in doses of half a drachm (30 grains), mixed with a little water, every four or six hours during the intermissions, commencing its use during or towards the close of the sweating stage. For children the dose may be reduced one-half, or three-fourths, according to age. For combating the _Debility after Fevers and other diseases_, Atís is an excellent tonic, in doses of five to ten grains thrice daily. 43. +Bael Fruit.+ The fruit of Ægle Marmelos, _Corr._ Bél, Si-phal (_Hind._, _Beng._, _Punj._), Bél-phal (_Duk._), Vilva or Bilva-pazham (_Tam._), Bilva-pandu, Márédu-pandu (_Tel._), Kúvalap-pazham (_Mal._) Bilapatri-hannu (_Can._) Bél-phal (_Guz._), Bélá-chaphala, Bela (_Mah._) Bélli, Bélli-ka (_Cing._), Ushi-si, Ushi-ti (_Burm._), Buah Bail (_Malay_), Bil-kath (the entire fruit), Shífal-gúj, the pulp and seeds with the rind removed (_Kash._). 44. The half-ripe fruit is best suited for medical use, and that freshly gathered is preferable to that which has been kept a long time, as is generally the case with the bazaar article. In bazaar specimens, the Wood-apple (fruit of Feronia Elephantum) is often substituted for Bael. Though they bear a close resemblance externally, they can easily be distinguished by opening them. In the true Bael there are, in the centre of the pulp, a number of cells, from five to eighteen, each containing one or more seeds and glutinous mucus, whilst in the Wood-apple there are no cells, and the seeds are embedded in the pulp. European experience has confirmed the native opinion that it is a remedy of much value in cases of _obstinate Diarrhœa and Dysentery_ when unattended by fever, and the patient is weak and dyspeptic. It proves especially serviceable when any signs of _Scurvy_ are present. It is best given as follows: Take of the soft gummy fluid from the interior of the fruit two ounces, mix this with three or four ounces of water, sweeten to taste, and, if procurable, add a lump of ice. This draught should be repeated twice or thrice daily. _In the obstinate Diarrhœa and Dysentery of Children_ it may safely be given in doses of from one quarter to one half the above quantity, according to age. The Fluid Extract of the _dried_ Bael is regarded by many as superior to any other preparations of this fruit. The dose is from half a drachm to a drachm, twice or thrice daily for an adult. Dietetic Bael is also a valuable preparation. Dr. Aitchison suggests that a supply of Dietetic Bael (prepared by Messrs. Bathgate & Co., of Calcutta) should be kept in store. "It consists," he remarks, "of the pulp of dried Bael fruit carefully pulverised and mixed with a certain proportion of arrowroot. It is an excellent preparation to be used in those cases when Bael is prescribed, and where the fresh fruit cannot be got of good quality, _e.g._, the
