CHALK — COLLYRIUM. 6$ 



the most useless of the liiercurials, and may, 

 without impropriety, be dismissed from our 

 Materia Medic a. 



CINNAINION. This well-known spice is 

 a powerful stimulant, and an excellent cor- 

 dial ; its high price, however, prevents its 

 being used much in cordial preparations ; so 

 that when good cassia can be procured, it 

 may be on all occasions substituted for it 

 in veterinary practice. 



CLOVES. A stimulant of considerable 

 strength, but seldom employed in veterinary 

 medicine, on account of its high price. The 

 essential oil of cloves is sometimes used in 

 the dose of 20 or 30 drops, in cordial prepa- 

 rations, or in purgative medicine, to prevent 

 sickness or griping-. 



COLTSFOOT. Though this plant was 

 once considered as an useful remedy in 

 coughs, it is now totally disregarded. 



COLOQUINTIDA, or Bitter Apple. A 

 violent purgative in the human system ; but 

 quite inert in the horse, having produced no 

 perceptible effect in the immense dose of 

 four ounces. 



COLLYIIIUM, or Eye Water. (See 

 Pharm.)
