Therapeutic Applications.-The only marked value
attributed to cotoin is as an anticholeric, and as such it
is said to exercise a specific action upon the intestinal
mucous membrane. This remedy is alleged also to

Administration.-Cotoin is best given in acetic ether,
in which it may be dissolved in the proportion of I to 4
parts. Its dose varies from Y2 to 2 grains (0.03 to 0.12

best done in capsules-the dose is from I to 5 minims

daily dose of creolin of from I I2 to 2 drachms (6 to 8
