Method as extracted
- Infuse according to the source passage: When from any cause, the languor, sleepiness, furred tongue, &c. , give notice of an impending bilious attack, five or sLx grains of blue pill should be taken, and followed by a black draught or dose of infusion of senna, or of castor oil, in tho morning. Having thus cleared the system, it is better to trust to diet and regimen, than to a repetition of the dose as a corrective of in- dulgence. After the attack has somewhat subsided, keeping in mind that the tendency of it is to clear the system, the bowels must not be allowed to get confined, but kept slightly re- laxed ; if requisite, a desert-spoonful of castor oil, with half a dozen drops of laudanum or chlorodyne, or a small dose of rhubarb and magnesia, with or without laudanum, may be given.
