How many scores Of names there
may be for different brands of liquid
petroleum we haven't the slightest
conception, but there must be as many
as there are wholesale drug houses at
least. Possibly there may be slight
differences in weight, freedom from
taste, odor, etc. But practically it is
a negligible difference.
The more common names are liquid
petroleum, purified petroleum, min
eral oil, Russian" oil, paraffin oil.
So long as there is no unpleasant
taste and no aftertaste. the prepara-
ton is good enough, whatever name it
bears.
Mineral oil is called an intestinal
lubricant and appears to serve such
purpose. 1t is unlike castor oil, olive
oil, butter and other things used for
laxative effect. in that it is never alb
sorbed. 1t lubricates, that is all
Being tasteless, it is not difficult to
take-like water. The dose for an
adult is, say, a tablespoon several
times a day; for young child a tea
spoonful is sufficient. Being only a
lubricant, the dose must be repeated
frequently, An automobile driver
feeds oil to his engine continuously
Better not mix oil with meals, how
ever. 1t will do as well, or better, an
hour or two from mealtime. Oil of
any kind puts sudden quietus upon
the secretion of gastric juice, and nat
urally that doesn't hasten digestion
Particularly appropriate is mineral
oil as remedy in that vast number of
intestinal stasis, constipation, due to
kinks. sagging or ''ptosis'' as doctors
say, weakened abdominal and intes-
final musculature this is the women
who mold the figure with corsets in
stead of breathing and exercise. J
These are the very cases of costive-
ness which are only aggravated by
physics.
Now, mineral oil has never cured
anything, in our opinion. 1t is a
harmless remedy, and a very grateful
thing to use in lieu of the injurious
liver pills, A. B. s., salts, castor oil,
calomel and herbs so commonly re-
sorted to when intestinal activity is
inadequate To take a powerful drug,
even if it is obtained from purely veg
etable" or herb" sources. just to re-
lieve food stasis or constipation, is to
store up worse trouble than the con-
stipation itself will produce Mineral
oil will obviate the need of such drugs,
and, remarkable though it seems. it
never does any harm. Some authori-
ties enthusiastically aver that mineral
oil also absorbs and carries from the
body considerable toxic material. but
this idea, We think. is not of any
weight. unless you take, say couple
of quarts of the oil at dose.
