Method as extracted

  1. Infuse according to the source passage: It is apt to nauseate the stomach, a property which is greatly subdued by combining it with magnesia: but in some habits even this does not correct its nauseating qualities, and its use is followed by great faint- ness and depression of nervous power. ‘The dose of wine of colchicum is from ™ xxx. to f 3 jss. given in conjunction with magnesia in the effervescing draught, or with infusion of cin- chona bark, gentian root, or any other bitter. The seeds of colchicum possess the same medicinal proper- ties as the bulb; and the wine may be made by digesting zwo ounces of the unbruised seeds in two pints of sherry wine, for eight days.
