88. _In Diarrhœa unattended by Fever_ Catechu is of much value; ten or fifteen grains in powder, with an equal quantity of powdered Cinnamon, may be given in honey or _jaggery_ three or four times a day if necessary; or it may be given in infusion prepared by macerating three drachms of bruised Catechu, and one drachm of bruised Cinnamon in half a pint of boiling water for two hours, and straining. Dose from one and a half to two ounces thrice daily. From five to ten drops of Laudanum to each dose add to its efficacy, or one grain of Opium may be given at bedtime. These doses are suited only for adults; for _the Diarrhœa of Children_, three or four grains of finely powdered Catechu, with an equal quantity of powdered Cinnamon, generally answer well. 89. _In Mercurial Salivation_, in _Ulceration and Sponginess of the Gums_, a small piece of Catechu allowed slowly to dissolve in the mouth is often of great service. The same measure is often useful in _Relaxed Sore Throat, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, &c._ _In Toothache_, where there is a decayed tooth, with a piece of loose flesh growing within, great relief sometimes results from inserting into the hollow a small piece of Catechu, and retaining it there till it is dissolved. 90. _Chronic Ulcerations_, _attended by much or Fœtid Discharge_, often speedily improve under the use of an ointment composed of a drachm of finely powdered Catechu and an ounce of Ceromel (167). In obstinate cases the addition of sixteen grains of finely powdered Sulphate of Copper to the above greatly increases its efficacy. Another mode of treating these old ulcers is bathing them twice or thrice daily with an infusion of Catechu (six drachms to a pint of water), and dressing in the intervals with Ceromel. The above infusion proves effectual in some instances as a preventive of _Sore Nipples_, for which purpose the breasts should be bathed with it daily, for some six weeks prior to the confinement, and thus the tissues become so hardened that when the infant begins to suck any ill-effects are obviated. 90 _bis_. +Charcoal Wood, Charcoal.+ Lakrí ka-kóyelah (_Hind._), Lákri-ká-kólsá (_Duk._), Kásh-tha-kóyalá (_Beng._), Aduppu-kari (_Tam._), Katta-boggu (_Tel._), Atuppa-kari, Muttí-kari (_Mal._), Kattige-iddallu (_Can._), Láka-dácha-kólasé (_Mah._), Lákdu-kóelo (_Guz._), Thén-misu-e (_Burm._), Anguru (_Cing._), Ahrang (_Malay_), Kóiláh (_Punj._), Tsuíng (_Kash._).
