757. Solution of Acetate of Ammonia

Solution of Acetate of Ammonia is a most useful diaphoretic. It is _used externally_ as a discutient, as a lotion to inflamed milk-breasts, as an eye-wash, and a lotion in scald head. It is given _internally_ to promote perspiration in febrile diseases, which it does most effectually, especially when combined with camphor mixture. This is the article so frequently met with in prescriptions, and called spirits of mindercrus. _Dose_, from a half to one and a half ounces every three or four hours.
