Berberis Vulgaris. (Barberry.)
Botanical name:
A tincture of the recent bark, in the proportion of ℥viij. to Alcohol 76° Oj., is suggested. Dose varying from ten drops to one drachm.
Will some of our Eastern practitioners give us their experience with this agent; or if it has not been employed alone, will some one test it thoroughly. Evidently it has an influence upon the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane, and probably on associate viscera.
