ALOE—ALOES.
Source.—Aloes is the inspissated juice of the leaves of the Jloe
Socotrina^ and contains a bitter precipitate known as alo'tn.^ and
also a volatile oil, to which its odor is due. Its preparations are
purified aloes aloe purificata ; watery Extract of Aloes Ex-
tractu?n Aloes Aquosum ; Tincture of Aloes Tinctura Aloes \ also
a number of pilular forms, and a tincture combined with myrrh
—Tinctura Aloes et Myrrhae, and wine of aloes—Vinum Aloes.
Purified Aloes is in the form of pieces of a dull or reddish-
brown color, very brittle and soluble in alcohol, and a very bitter
and disagreeable taste.
Medical Properties and Physiological Action.—Aloes is a stomachic
tonic and purgative, being principally employed for the latter ef-
fect. In large doses its action is that of a powerful purgative,
and hence it is contraindicated in irritable or inflammatory con-
ditions of the stomach. It stimulates the functions of the liver,
and increases the flow of bile as well as the intestinal secretions
generally. Its chief effects are on the large intestine, increasing
its peristaltic movement, and causing tormina and tenesmus with
heat and irritation of the rectum. It also increases the menstrual
flow and the blood supply of the pelvic organs. It requires some
ten or twelve hours to produce its cathartic effects. A purgative
