NOTES ON PRESCRIBING AND DOSAGE

The remedies prescribed in this work are entirely of vegetable
origin, prepared from the roots, bark, leaves or seeds of the herbs
in the form of:
Infusions, made by grinding or bruising the roots, leaves, etc.,
and pouring boiling or cold water, according to the particular
herb, over the drug, allowing it to stand for fifteen to twenty
minutes with an occasional stir and then straining off the clear
liquid. The usual quantity of herb is 1 oz. to 1 pint of water. The
dose varies from one tablespoonful to a wineglass.
Fluid Extracts are the most popular preparations, being prepared
in a concentrated fluid form of one fluid ounce of the crude drug
to one fluid ounce of spirit.
Tinctures are spirituous preparations generally made in the
strength of 1 or 2 oz. of the drug to 1 pint of pure or diluted
spirits of wine.
Homoeopathic Mother Tinctures are prepared, amongst other
methods, by expressing the juice of the freshly-gathered plants, or
parts thereof, and mixing the juice so obtained with an equal
quantity of absolute alcohol. The mixture is then succussed,
allowed to stand for some time, and finally filtered. Five to twenty
minims, according to the active principles present, are added to
four ounces of water, and teaspoonful doses administered.

in the following pages are intended merely for general guidance,
