X. DIURETICS, DIAPHORETICS, EMMENAGOGUES, ETC.: —

YELLOW AIDED BY A CONSIDERABLE RED.

Several of these have already been given. A few more will suffice to settle the principle.

1. Dandelion (taraxacum). "It has a golden yellow flower. The fresh, full grown root is of a light brown color externally, whitish within, having a yellowish ligneous cord running through its center. Taraxacum is slightly tonic, diuretic and aperient; and it is thought to have a specific action upon the liver."

2. Pure Carbonate of Potassium (CO3K2. 2xH2O). Red and yellow principle modified by the blue in the spectrum. "Antacid, alkaline and diuretic."

3. Potassium Nitrate (Salt Petre), NO3K or NO2 (OK). The red, yellow and blue principles all strong in the spectrum. "Refrigerant diaphoretic."

4. Sassafras Oil (Oleum Sassafras). "Yellowish, becoming reddish by age." "A mild diaphoretic."

5. Seneka (Senega). "Externally brownish, internally yellowish." "An active, stimulating expectorant, acting in overdoses like squill, as a harsh emetic, and also having some tendency towards the kidneys.

6. Buchu (Leaves of Barosma). "Brownish yellow," etc. "Gently stimulant, with a particular tendency to the urinary organs, producing diuresis, and like all similar medicines, exciting diaphoresis when circumstances favor this mode of action."

7. Oil of Savine (Oleum Sabinae C10H8). "Colorless or yellow," has also the red principle of hydrogen, "is stimulant, emmenagogue and actively rubefacient."

8. Mustard (Sinapis). "Black mustard seeds are of a deep brown color, slightly rugose on the surface, and internally yellow. White mustard seeds are of a yellowish color and less pungent taste." "Mustard seeds act as a gentle laxative." Its powder made into a poultice, or sinapism, "is an excellent rubefacient."
