2 o8 An ACCOUNT: of the 



nefs in the ftomach and bowels. It may either be given alone,, 

 or joined with the Jefuit's bark. 



I have feen the happiefl effects from the ufe of this medi- 

 cine in obftinate remitting fevers from marfh miafmata.in agues 

 which had refitted the ufe of Jefuit's bark, and in dyfenteries 

 of long (landing. It is in daily practice in dropnes from -de- 

 bility, either in (imple infufions or tincture by itfelf, or joined 

 with aromatics and chalybeates. 



Dr Dri'Mmond, an eminent Phyfician here, prefcribes it 

 with great fuccefs in the above cafes, as well as in amenorrhea, 

 chlorous, dyfpepfia, and in that fpecies of pica called Dirt- 

 eating, ib fatal to a number of negroes. 



The bark of the Quaflia Polygama, but efpecially the wood, 

 is intenfely bitter. I have ufed both in various forms. 



The bark is difficult to be reduced to powder. The dofe is 

 from 15 grains to 1 dram, either by itfelf, or joined to the Je- 

 fuit's bark. 



3ii, 3iii, or Sfs of the bark or wood to 1 lb. watery infu- 



fion. 



The fame quantities to decoction from 1-5- lb. water to 1 lb. 

 The dofe is a wine'-glafs full every three, four or fix hours, 

 according to circumftances. 



In certain cafes of dropfy, aromatics and preparations are 

 joined to it, alfo in amenorrhea and chlorous 5 and in worm 

 fevers, the cabbage bark, or other vegetable anthelmintics.
