(Spotted Geranium.)
_Radix._
[This plant is very common in the United States, and is usually found in
the vicinity of moist, woody situations. From the analysis of Bigelow,
it appears to contain a very large proportion of tannin. It is
accordingly powerfully astringent, and has been used with advantage in
diarrhœa, chronic, dysentery and cholera infantum. In powder the dose of
the Geranium is from 20 to 30 grs.—in extract, 10 grs.—in tincture from
ʒj to ʒij—and in decoction from ℥j to ℥ij.]
