Method as extracted
- Macerate according to the source passage: If his bowels are at all confined, it will be proper to give him some aperient medicine, and none will be so appropri- ate as castor oil, an ounce of which may be taken for a dose. To assist the effect of this medicine, as well as to alleviate the severity of the pain, it will be advis^ able to administer an emollient clyster from time to time, such as about eleven ounces of thin gruel, or an infusion of senna, with half an ounce of sul- phate of soda, one ounce of cpstor or sweet oil, and forty drops of the tincture of opium. After the bowels are suflficiently operated upon and stools freely procured, we may venture to give an opiate OF THE GRAVEL AND STONE 413 by the mouth, particularly if the patient is in much pain.
