Chlorodyne
Chlorodyne is a British patent medicine of chloroform, morphine and other drugs, sold as "Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne" by J. T. Davenport of London. An advertisement that the Wellcome Collection dates to 1898 calls it "the great specific for cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery". William Martindale called it "the secret remedy" in 1885. So many analyses of it were made that pharmacists had many formulas to choose from, and several printed formulas contain tincture of Indian hemp.

Chlorodyne": in 100 parts, chloroform 6, morphine hydrochloride 0.5, tincture of Indian hemp 3, tincture of capsicum 1.5, liquid extract of liquorice 12, mucilage of acacia 12, treacle 25, glycerin 22 and oil of peppermint 0.1, made up with alcohol. It states that "The action of chlorodyne is mainly due to the morphine it contains", and gives it for diarrhoea, colic, flatulence and coughs, in a dose of 15 to 30 minims.
Secret Nostrums and Systems of Medicine, a collection of published formulas for proprietary medicines compiled by Charles W.

King's American Dispensatory (1898) recommends the purified extract of Indian hemp over the ordinary extract "for making chlorodyne".
The British Pharmacopoeia of 1885 had a tincture of chloroform and morphine, which the 1907 Codex says "was intended as an equivalent for chlorodyne, a better formula for which will be found under Chlorodynum". …
