Action. - Carbonate of calcium or chalk possesses theastringentandantacidpowers oflimeitself,
and is without its irritating qualities. It can therefore be given in much larger doses, and so chalk
is used, instead ofliquor calcis, in the diarrhoea of adults accompanied by acidity.
Uses - Chalk may be used as a dusting powder to the skin in excoriations, burns, and ulcers. It
forms a useful tooth-powder. Internally it serves to arrest diarrhoea, and is often given, whatever
be the cause of the diarrhoea; but when the disease depends upon some irritating substance in the
intestine, theirritantshould be removed by a dose ofcastor oilprevious to the administration of the
chalk. In the form of whiting, chalk forms a usefulantidotein cases of poisoning by acids, and
especially by oxalic acid.
