THERE is a contested will case now on trial in Calhoun Co., Mich., court. Mr. Duncan, late of Battle Creek, died in Belfast, Ireland, and Dr. Aiken, to the question, What medicines were prescribed? answers thus:— “Cough mixture, composed of chlorodyne, bromide of potassium and tincture of henbane; tonic mixture composed of nitric acid, and tincture of cardamom; pills of rhubarb, hippo and cayenne; a liniment of camphorated spirits, to be applied to the chest; an astringent mixture, composed of kino laudanum and chalk, lime water, acetate of lead and opium pills, kail water, a mixture composed of bromide of potassium and infusion of senega; a liniment of iodine and chloroform, to the back of the lungs; bicarbonate of potash mixture; stramonium leaves, for smoking; a mixture containing bromide, ammonium and senega infusion; liniment of belladonna and glycerine, spirits of vitriol, pills of quinine, nux vomica; pills of citrate of iron and digitalis; powders of quinine; an external application of potash and infusion of digitalis; iodide of potassium mixture; a mixture of alum and elixir of vitriol, tincture of asafoetida, pills of quinine and digitalis, mixture of nitric and hydrocyanic acids, Ruspini's styptic; a mixture of digitalis, spirit of juniper and nitric acids; a liquor containing camphor and cantharides, tincture of muriate of iron. Deponent is unable to state the dose of each medicine prescribed or of each combination of medicines prescribed, for said Duncan and taken by him, or the frequency of the repetition of each medicine so prescribed or combination of medicines so prescribed, but said Duncan did not take all the medicine prescribed, as deponent found it difficult to induce him to take medicine with any degree of regularity, owing to his antipathy to medical treatment in general.” If men will die under such treatment we fear it will cause the public to lose confidence in the virtue of medicines!
