Dose, two, three, or more, in the 24 hours, in gout, until purging is induced. This is a form that has been employed as a substitute for the Pilules de Lartigue, the composition of which is not known. M. Bouchardat recommends for the same purpose a combination of Extractum colocynthidis compositum, Extractum colchici and Extractum opii, which is almost identical with pills prescribed by Sir Henry Holford for the gout; the only difference being, that the latter substitutes Dover’s powder for the Extractum opii.
