A preparation said to contain a bitterless glucoside, obtained from the
bark of _Rhamnus Purshiana_, with aromatics.
Actions and Uses.—It is claimed that this preparation possesses the
laxative properties of cascara sagrada without the bitterness which
characterizes the ordinary extract. It is recommended for the treatment
of chronic constipation, for which cascara sagrada is one of the best
medicinal agents. Dosage.—As a laxative, 0·6 to 1 c.c. (10 to 15 minims)
three times a day; as a purgative, 1·3 to 2 c.c. (20 to 30 minims)
morning and evening. Four cubic centimeters (1 fluidrachm) may be given
in obstinate cases. Prepared by Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit, Mich.
