    Mistura Assafoetidse. Mixture of Assafeetida, Take of Assafeetida two drachms, Water half a pint; Rub the assafeetida with the water, gradually added, until they ai'e thoroughly mixed. Medicinal use.—Antispasmodic. Dose, from f^ss to f|j. repeated at short intervals in hysteric paroxysms. As it is ex- tremely nauseous, it is rarely used, except as an enema in worms, and the convulsions of infants, arising from irritation of the bowels during dentition. Mistura Camphorai. Camphor Mixture. Take of Camphor half a drachm. Rectified spirit ten minims. Water a pint; First rub the camphor with the spirit, then with the water, gradually added, and strain. Medicinal use.—Stimulant. Dose, fjj to f^ij. every three or four hours. Water dissolves very little camphor, this raixlure is therefore generally used only as a vehicle for important medi- cines.
