Take of alum two drachms, and of decoction of walnut leaves one quart. Dissolve and mix well together. This compound is found serviceable as a vaginal injection in leucorrhœa. FORM V. Take of powdered galls one drachm, to which add one pint of water. Boil down to three quarters of a pint, and strain. This preparation has been found very useful in chronic diarrhœa and excessive hemorrhage from piles. FORM VI. Take of soft _extract_ of rhatany seventy-five grains, to which add one drachm of _tincture_ of rhatany, and a half a pint of water. Dissolve the extract in the water, and strain; then add the tincture. This has been successfully prescribed by many physicians for bleeding piles, fissures in the anus, and chronic dysentery. Anti-Dysenteric Injection. Take of solution of acetate of lead from two and a half drachms to four drachms, to which add one pint of water. For children, from one half to two and a half drachms will be sufficient in a proper proportion of water. This is an effectual injection in acute dysentery. Injection of Sugar of Lead. Take of sugar of lead one scruple, and of laudanum forty drops, to which add half a pint of warm water. This is recommended by the celebrated Dr. Davis as a sure remedy in cases of uterine hemorrhage. Opiate or Anodyne Injections. FORM I. Take of laudanum fifty drops, to which add five ounces of starch mucilage, and mix well together. The UNITED STATES DISPENSATORY, speaking of this invaluable remedy, says that for obstinate vomiting, stranguary affections of the kidneys, bladder, &c., it is the most admirable remedy now in use. FORM II. Take of laudanum one half a teaspoonful, to which add two ounces of starch mucilage, and mix thoroughly. In dysentery and other painful affections of the intestines, this is considered by the best medical authority to be a certain relief. Dr. Druit directs from one hundred to one hundred and twenty drops to be administered. A whole teaspoonful has been often used in severe cases. The less mucilage used, the more likely is the injection to remain in the rectum. An opiate injection for a child not over a year old may consist of two or three drops of laudanum mixed in three quarters of an ounce of mucilage. Opiate injections should not be administered often, without the advice of a physician. FORM III. Take of powdered opium four grains, to which add one ounce of lard. Melt with gentle heat, mix thoroughly, and inject warm. =Lime Water and Catechu Injection.=
