PARSLEYPETRO6
The fruit, also the root of APIUM PETROSELINUM, Lin. Carmi native, discutient, diuretic, antiperiodic, emmenagogue, sedative to genito-urinary tract.

TURPENTINE
The concrete oleoresin obtained from PINUS PALUSTRIS, Mill. and other species of Pinus.

It is often prescribed in typhoid fever, for relief of tympanjtes, in in ternal hemorrhages, occasionally in sciatica and lumbago, in purpura hemorrhagica, in chronic bronchitis and chronic affections of the urinary passages,2

LARYNGITIS
General treatment the same as in acute bronchitis or coryza, As special remedies, inhalations of steam from water to which has been added compound tincture benzoin or Antiseptine or in later stages eucalyptol (a few drops) or menthol, or these latter may be mixed with albolene and used in spray. As local application, at first Glyceroplasma or Phenol Camphor (a few drops several times a day), later oil turpentine or tincture iodine as counter-irritant.2

PERITONITIS
If surgical interference is not deemed advisable, combat pain and inflammation with calomel and opium; apply turpentine stupes for relief of tympanites; Glyceroplasma is often useful for its depletant action; if no obstruction or perforation exists, salines are often useful, for their depleting and refrigerant action; injection of asafetida or of turpentine emulsion may relieve tympanites.2
