It purges in relatively feeble doses;
25 grammes, or 5 drachms, are always sufficient; 10 grammes act on
children, and sometimes on adults; the number of evacuations varies
according to the quantity ingested; with a dose of 20 grammes in three
glasses of water, it usually produces four or five stools; and from five
to eight in doses of 25 grammes; the effects usually begin to manifest
themselves an hour after it has been taken; it is the mildest of saline
purgatives.® 2000
