In time of epidemic cholera, or diarrhœa, when any person has two movements of the bowels more than natural within the twenty-four hours, the second one should be followed by a dose of this mixture to be repeated after every movement that follows. If the movements increase in frequency or in copiousness after the second dose of the medicine has been taken a physician should be sent for at once, and a double dose be taken after each movement until he arrives. Immediately after taking the first dose the person should go to bed and remain there for twelve hours after the diarrhœa has entirely ceased.
