Method as extracted

  1. Macerate according to the source passage: When dealing with intelligent patients in whom one wants to reduce their tobacco consumption it is better, according to Edgar, not to limit them to a given amount but to tell them to ask themselves as their hand goes to the pouch or case, “ Do I really want to smoke just now?” Those who find difficulty in stopping the use of tobacco may be assisted by painting the tonsils and pharynx with a weak silver nitrate solution. • The toxic effect of nicotine which is trying during the breaking off process may be counteracted by the time-honored Gannet’s mix¬ ture which contains 1 gram of sodium bromide in 5 c. c. of com¬ pound tincture of cinchona. The dose of this mixture is a tea¬ spoonful three times a day.
