Ginger ia a sialogogue, carminative, and stimulant.
It is _used internally_ in flatulent colic, dyspepsia, and to prevent
the griping of medicines. When chewed, it acts as a sialogogue, and is
therefore useful in relaxed uvula.
_Dose_, from ten to twenty grains of the _powder_; of the _tincture_,
from ten minims to one drachm.
