Fluid Extract of Buchu. 



(Barosma Orenata.) 



This is used exclusively for the treatment of diseases of the 

 urinary organs, retention of the urine, and for the treatment of 

 the various forms of dropsy. Its direct action is diuretic, yet it 

 also gives tone to the parts on which it acts. Dose, from four to 

 eight drachms. Should an animal be suffering from retention of 

 the urine, the diuretic action of the buchu may be augmented by 

 adding to it a small quantity (equal parts) of sweet spirits of niter. 

 For the treatment of spasm at the neck of the bladder, add to the 

 dose of buchu an equal quantity of tincture of assafetida. 



Fluid Extract of Indian Hemp (Foreign). 



( Cannabis Indicus Sativiu.) 



This medicine acts as a narcotic and antispasmodic. Its use is 

 indicated in all diseases attended with pain and restlessness, but is 

 chiefly used for the treatment of tetanus or locked-jaw. Dose, 

 two drachms, to be repeated as occasion may require. 



Fluid Extract of Prince's Pine. 



(Pipsissewa.) 



Prince's pine is a very excellent tonic and diuretic in chronic 

 diseases of the urinary organs, and has been used with much suc- 

 cess in cases of local dropsy of the limbs, known as swelled legs. 

 Dose, from four to six drachms. 



Fluid Extract of Black Snakeroot.

 in hysteria.
