When the dropsy is first observed

When the dropsy is first observed

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 powderFive grains to a scruple.
Capsicums, in powderTen grains to two scruples.
Sulphate of ironOne to four scruples.
Extract of gentianTwo drachms to one ounce.
Cinchona powderA sufficiency.
