When the dropsy is first observed
In such cases, when the dropsy is first observed, our care must be to invigorate the system. Small doses of nux vomica, with iron, gentian and capsicums, made into a pill, will generally do this, and the following form may be employed:
Nux vomica, in powder | Five grains to a scruple. |
Capsicums, in powder | Ten grains to two scruples. |
Sulphate of iron | One to four scruples. |
Extract of gentian | Two drachms to one ounce. |
Cinchona powder | A sufficiency. |
