This has been so fully treated of among the arterial stimulants, that it is unnecessary to say more, in this place, than that it may be given as a stimulant antacid, under circumstances similar to those which call for the aromatic spirit. The dose of it is from two or three to ten or fifteen grains; the larger dose being justifiable when there is much acid, from the rapidity with which it is neutralized. This also must be given with a large proportion of water; and its acrimony may be somewhat blunted by the admixture of mucilage of gum arabic, or sugar.
