TREATMENT FOR COLIC.

Castor oil, given as soon as the symptoms of colic manifest themselves, has

frequently afforded relief. At any rate, the irritating substances may be

expelled from the alimentary canal before the pains will subside. All local

remedies will be ineffectual, and consequently the purgative should be

given in large doses until a copious vacuation is produced. {346}
