Tinctura Cinnamomi. L.D. See Form. 101.
Tinctura Cinnamomi Composita. L.E.D. As this is a combination of aromatics with cinnamon, it is more grateful and stomachic than the simple tincture. Dose, fʒ to fʒij.
Tinctura Conii Maculati. E. As Conein is perfectly soluble in spirit, this tincture constitutes a very elegant and efficient form for the exhibition of Hemlock; I have frequently experienced its effects, when added to febrifuge mixtures, with satisfaction. The London college has not hitherto admitted it into the list of tinctures, which is to be regretted.
Tinctura Croci. E.D. It has no medicinal use, independent of its colour.
Tinctura Digitalis. L.E.D. It is a very useful form for the exhibition of this valuable plant. Dose, ♏︎x, cautiously increased. See Digitalis Folia, and Form. 32.
Tinctura Gentianæ Composita. L.E. An elegant stomachic bitter, but less eligible as a remedy than the infusion. Dose, fʒi-fʒij.
Tinctura Hellebori Nigri. This preparation was strongly advised by Dr. Mead, in uterine obstructions. Dose, ♏︎xxx to fʒj. See Hellebori Radix.
Tinctura Humuli. L.E. It is supposed to possess the tonic and narcotic properties of the hop. Dose, fʒss to fʒiij.
Tinctura Hyoscyami. L. This is a much more powerful narcotic than the preceding tincture; and it is not liable to affect the head, nor to produce that disturbance in the biliary secretions which so inevitably follows the use of opium. Dose, fʒss to fʒij.
Tinctura Jalapæ. L.E. As the activity of Jalap does not reside in any one principle, but depends upon the combination of its gum, extractive, and resin, proof spirit is of course its appropriate solvent; and the resulting tincture is therefore an active purgative, but it is rarely administered except as an adjuvant to cathartic combinations. Dose, fʒj to f℥ss. See Form. 70, 76.
