3. Blaud's pills will do well. This is the formula:
Dried sulphate of iron 2 drams
Carbonate of potash 2 drams
Syrup enough to make a mass
Mix and make forty-eight pills. Take one to three, three times a day after meals.
4. If the appetite is poor, bitter tonics such as gentian, quassia, cinchona, or nux vomica are needed.
Compound Tincture Cinchona 2 ounces
Compound Tincture Gentian 2 ounces
Mix. Take one teaspoonful before meals, in a little water.
5. Tincture of nux vomica in doses of two to three drops after meals is a good stomach and bowel tonic.
6. Golden seal root made into a tea is good in some cases, especially if the tongue is much coated.
7. Oil of Erigeron or flea-bane is good for oozing bleeding. Dose: Three to five drops in a capsule every four hours.
8. Oil of cinnamon in one dose of one-half dram is good where flea-bane oil cannot be used or obtained; usual dose, one to five drops. An infusion can be made of the cinnamon bark and drank freely.
