-
A medicine which, when taken internally, increases the number of alvine evacuations. Some substances act upon the upper part of the intestinal canal, as calomel and colocynth; others, on the lower part, as aloes; and some on the whole extent, as saline purgatives. Hence a choice may be necessary. Cathartics are divided into purgatives and laxatives. The following is a list of the chief cathartics: Aloe, Cassia Marilandica, Colocynthis, Elaterium, Gambogia, Hydrargyri Chloridum mite, Hydrargyri Oxydum nigrum, Hydrarg. cum Magnesia, Jalapa, Juglans, Magnesia, Magnesiae; Carbonas, Magnesiae Sulphas, Manna, Mannita, Oleum Euphorbiae Lathyridis, Oleum Ricini, Oleum Tiglii, Podophyllum, Potassae Acetas, Potassae Bisulphas, Potassae Sulphas, Potassae Bitartras, Potassae Tartras, Rheum, Scammonium, Senna, Sinapis, Sodae et Potassae Tartras, Sodae Phosphas, Sodae Sulphas, Sodii Chloridum, Sulphur, Veratria, Aquae Minerales Sulphureae et Salinae, Enemata, Suppositoria.
