excretion from the lungs is unattended with inflammatory con- 
gestion... It may be most conveniently taken in the form of an 
emulsion, into which it fmay be brought by triturating it with 
almonds, or rather with a thick mucilage of gum arabic, till they 
are well incorporated, and then gradually adding a proper quantity 
of water. The dose of the Balsam should rarely exceed twenty 
or thirty drops.

Dr. Cullen says, ** Whether a certain effect of balsam of copaiba is to be 
imputed to its laxative quality, I cannot determine, but must observe, that I have 
Jearned from an empirical practitioner, that it gives relief in hemorrhoidal affec- 
tions ; and I have frequently employed it with success, viz. given from twenty to 
thirty drops twice aday.” Mat. Med. vol. ii. p. 190.
