5396. Mayes' Substitute for Osgood's Indian Cholagogue

5396.    Mayes' Substitute for Osgood's Indian Cholagogue. Dr. Mayes, of Mayes-ville, S. C, gives the following receipt, which he declares to be very similar to, if not identically the same, in taste, smell and effects, as Osgood's Indian cholagogue. Take 2 drachms sulphate of quinine; 1 drachm Tildens' fluid extract of leptandra; 4 ounces saturated tincture of queens' root; 3 drachms Tilden's extract of podophyllin (may-apple); 10 drops each of oil of sassafras and oil of wintergreen; and sufficient best New Orleans molasses to make the whole up to 8 ounces. This mixture to be well shaken up before a dose is measured; as the quinine (not being dissolved) will settle to the bottom of the bottle. The dose for adults is from 1 to 3 tea-spoonfuls 3 times a day. The dose is, however, a matter dependent entirely upon the nature of the case; and may be less or more, according to circumstances. It usually requires at least one 8-ounce bottle of the mixture to insure a permanent cure. When Tilden's fluid extracts cannot be had, saturated tinctures may be used, but in increased quantities; say rather more than double the quantity given of the fluid extract. In order, then, to preserve the due balance, the mixture must be made to measure 10 ounces, and a corresponding increase of dose must be made.
