ON THE PROTO-IODIDE OF IRON, &C. 123 
laudanum of Rosseau; this is also suitable when diarrhoea 
exists. 
Whatever form of administration may be adopted, the nor- 
mal solution should be given, at first in the dose of fifteen 
drops per diem, and gradually increased to one hundred and 
twenty drops. 
I use as adjuncts to this treatment the employment of tonics, 
such as Bordeaux wine, the stomachic elixir of Hoffman, wine 
of cinchona, the extracts of marsh trefoil, of the lesser cen- 
taury, of the blessed thistle, of germander, &c; at the same 
time the patient uses a strengthening diet, composed princi- 
pally of roast meats, either beef or mutton. 
To obtain the best results perseverance is necessary. A 
slight diarrhoea, or gastric irritation, should not prevent its 
continuance. It is only proper to suspend it when the op- 
pression is very great and there is danger of suffocation.
