    Tinctura Iodinii Composita, one drachm to four ounces of Alcohol, and four ounces of Water. Tinctura Ferri Sesquicbloridi, a quarter, Alcohol, a quarter, and Water, a half. In four cases of Phthisis, (three in the early sta- ges, one in which there appeared to be a small cavity) occurring in patients of the Scrofulous Diathesis, the application of the above was attended with suc- cess. I used the two indifferently, but found the first certainly the most active preparation. In Asthma, I have not made use of either. Tinctura Gallee, a quarter part, Alcohol, a quarter, and Water, a half. Tinctura Kino, with Alcohol and Water, in the same proportions. Five cases of incipient Phthisis which set in after attacks of other diseases (Typhus fever in two in- stances) and which seemed to be making no progress towards recovery under the Alcoholic treatment, mended rapidly under this. It was persevered with for about nine weeks. 1 have not applied these in Asthmatic cases with any decided advantage. Tinctura Ammonise Composita, one drachm and a half, Alcohol, four ounces, and Water, four ounces. Tinct- Camphorae Composita, a quarter, Alcohol, a quarter, and Water, a half.
