Exact source claims and related context are never blended together.
This hierarchy shows why a use appears beside the preparation. The strongest relationship comes first; contextual links remain explicitly labeled.
The preparation remains searchable as an archival method record without an invented indication.

Method as extracted
- Mix according to the source passage: To children, when the ftools are fre- quent and bloody, and voided with confi- derable pain, after the bleeding, an emetic, and a fmall dofe of toafted rhubarb, ni- tre may be given with a little red coral in an anodyne julep, with powder of crabs claws or of calcined oyfter-fhells; and many inftances have occurred, in which, by the afliflance of thefe medicines only, the in- flammation and fever have been fubdu- ed, the purging flopped, and happy reco- veries have taken place ; for if thofe fymp- toms can be got the better of, the fre- quency of the ftools foon abates, and the quality of them changes advantageoufly; •or if the bowels fhould be lb weakened and relaxed that, the difcharge continues, an anodyne moderately reftringent, and a clyfter, will generally reduce it within bounds. If, after the bleeding, the emetic and the ufe of the feveral medicines above pre- fcribed, the fever fhould ftill continue, and the frequency of the bloody ftools, together with the pain which ufually attends them, remain ftill unabated, the bleeding muft be repeated, and even a fecond time, if the fulnefs and hardnefs of the pulfe and the urgency of the other fyrnptoms demand it, and the ftrength of the patient will bear it; from whence alfo a judgment muft be formed as to the quantity of blood necef- fary to be taken away: after this the ipeca- cuanha fhould alfo be given again; from two grains to five may be mixed with a fcruple. of Venice treacle, and after a day or two, if it continues to excite vomiting, it may be accompanied with a gentle ano- dyne; and between the dofes of ipecacu- anha, the reftringent decodtion already men- tioned may be taken, if the ftools continue frequent, and by this courfe great hopes may be entertained of a fafe and fpeedy cure.
