Enquire within upon everything by Robert Kemp Philp

Kino is a powerful astringent. It is _used externally_ to ulcers, to give tone to them when flabby, and discharging foul and thin matter. It is _used internally_ in the same diseases as catechu. _Dose_, of the powder, from ten to fifteen grains; of the _tincture_, from one to two drachms; of the _compound powder_, from ten to twenty grains; of the _infusion_, from a half to one and a half ounce. _Caution_.--Kino is used in combination with calomel, when salivation is intended, to prevent, by its astringency, the action of the calomel on the bowels, and thereby insure its affecting the constitution.-- (See CATECHU [para. 721]).
