Alterative Medicines - Victorian Health and Medicine
From 'The Dictionary of Daily Wants' - 1858-1859
ALTERATIVE MEDICINES are those which re-establish the health, and gradually restore the decayed functions of the system, without producing perspiration, purging, or other sensible evacuations. They are, in fact, medical remedies assuming the mildest form for the purpose of assisting and cooperating with nature.

The quantities of the ingredients specified are for a grown-up person; for a youth under twenty they should be one-half less, and for a child under ten three-quarters less. See BLUE PILL, CALOMEL, COD-LIVER OIL, GREY POWDER, SARSA-PARILLA, &C.
