Method as extracted

1. Mix according to the source passage: Chlorate of potassium, in doses of from 5 to 20 grains, is an admirable remedy in mercurial salivation, in vari- ous aphthous conditions, and in sore throat, whether pro- duced by scarlet fever or ordinary tonsillar inflamma- tion, and a wash or gargle may well be combined with its internal administration. In doses of from 120 to 300 grains, cream of tartar is a good purgative, but is prin- cipally used in combination with jalap, which by stimu- lating the muscular move- ments of the small intestines, prevents the probable reab- sorption of the watery fluid.
