Anti-dysenteric Clyster of Yalthoy. 
Take dry bark of Raliby. well bruised -- half an ounce, 
Common water -: -- «- th seine -- two pints: : 
Boil in a close vessel till a fourth oun of the liquor be con- 
sumed ; then strain it through a linen cloth, for two clysters. 
The Physicians of Huanuco usually prescribe as many as three 
doses a day of the infusion, and two clyst rs, ordering at discre- 
tion the quantities of bark which the case may seem to require. 
Having been unable to ascertain correctly the determinate 
quantities allowed by those Physicians for infusions and clys- 
ters, I have proposed, as already stated, for the dispensation 
of this new medicine, the above formule, as most conform- 
able to other medicines now in use, until they shall be regu- 
lated by experience, and proper proof shall decide the doses to 
be daily administered.* 
I have excluded, as useless for medicinal purposes, ‘the lig- 
neous part of the root of the Yallhoy, having found in it no per- 
ceptible smell, juice, or substance of aey kind analogous with, 
those found i in the barks. _

Madrid to make experiments | with this new anti-dysenteric remedy in the General Hos) ital of that 
metropolis, and has reported to the Academy, that he has cured with this medicine two patients who 
were afflicted with dysentery ; that he followed the method proposed in this dissertation ordered 
to be published in the second volume of the Academical Transactions. Ihave also received com- 
: mnunications from Doctors Ignacio Ruiz of Luzuriaga, and Eugeni» de Arrieta, stating hat the 
Yallhoy has operated promptly and efficaciously in various cases in which they have dispensed, 
this new anti-dysenteric remedy in the quantities and the method above prescribed. ca
