I always give it thus:
Santonin 1/10 grain
Calomel 1/10 grain
Give four a day for two days, then miss two days, then give again for two
days and stop. Salts can be given after this. I then follow this treatment
by giving one drop doses of tincture of cina (Homeopathic preparation)
four times a day for one or two weeks. Before giving any of these remedies
it is well to move the bowels freely and also after the medicine has been
stopped.
3. Dr. Douglass of Detroit, Michigan, recommends the following for a child
five to ten years old:
Santonin 12 grains
Calomel 3 grains
Divide into six powders, and give one night and morning while fasting.
