Compound Tincture of Senna.
Take of senna, one ounce; jalap, coriander seeds, and cream of tartar, of each half an ounce. Infuse them in a pint and a half of French brandy for a week; then strain the tincture, and add to it four ounces of fine sugar.
This is an agreeable purge, and answers all the purposes of the Elixir salutis, and of Daffy's Elixir.
The dose is from one to two or three ounces.
