Remarks

Lime-water mixed with linseed, or other vegetable oil, constitutes the universally employed Carron oil, represented in the pharmacopoeia by the Linamentum Calcis. Calomel and lime-water in the proportion of 1 to 60, and corrosive sublimate and lime-water in the proportion of 1 - 300, constitute respectively the Lotio Nigra and Lotio Flava of pharmacy. The latter is the Aqua Phagoedenica of the older writers.
