PREFACE. 
 
 The labor of writing such a book as is here presented, 
 was not undertaken without a firm conviction that a 
 work of this kind was really needed. Only upon the 
 earnest solicitation of many professional friends, was the 
 author prevailed upon to publish this volume. He has, 
 therefore, as a guide to the druggist and the pharmacist, 
 after many years of earnest study, labor and great expense, 
 brought together a vast amount of information suitable, 
 in every respect, to the wants of the compounder of new 
 and elegant preparations. With this object in view, 
 standard works on every subject connected therewith, 
 have been carefully and freely consulted. 
 
 Many of the working formulae found in this volume 
 have been kindly donated by eminently successful 
 pharmaceutical chemists, of great learning and wide ex- 
 perience. 
 
 Many of his own formulas, tested and repeatedly ma- 
 nipulated in the Laboratories of Europe and America, 
 and drawn from a practical experience of twenty years, 
 will be found in this volume. 
 
 "On all great subjects," says John Stewart Mill, "much 
 yet remains to be said;" and this is equally true with 
 
4 PREFACE. 
 
 respect to the subject before us, as with other sciences 
 and departments of scientific investigation. 
 
 Systematic treatises on the subject of what may be 
 called the elegant preparations, have been so unreliable 
 and costly, that a volume of this kind, with formula? 
 tested and approved through a period of a busy life, can- 
 not, it seems to the author, fail to meet with a fair share 
 of public favor. 
 
 His intention has been to exhibit this branch of in- 
 dustry as it really exists in this year of our Lord, eighteen 
 hundred and eighty, and not that of forty or fifty years 
 ago — to bring it up to the high standard of recent invest- 
 igation ; also, to place before the busy practitioner infor- 
 mation which can alone be found in the private working 
 formulae of the practical chemist, or in the huge, costly 
 volumes of authors whose prolific pages one has to hunt 
 through, in order to arrive at the knowledge of which 
 they profess to be the vehicles. The subjects, in the 
 volume before you, are so arranged that any desired item 
 of information can be readily found, with scarcely more 
 loss of time than would be entailed by reference to a 
 dictionary. 
 
 As an enterprising druggist, it is necessary that you 
 should manufacture, yourself, the different kinds of tinc- 
 tures, elixirs, syrups, perfumery, cosmetics, and, indeed, 
 every delicate, important and costly article usually found 
 in the stock of every respectable druggist. 
 
 In conclusion, the author wishes to be fully understood 
 that, on the whole, this book is but a compilation of for- 
 
PREFACE, 
 
 mulae, gathered from an astonishingly large number of 
 volumes, all of which no man's private library would be 
 likely to contain. The merit, then, if in your judgment 
 there be any, consists in the work of gathering and com- 
 pressing, in the space of one volume, so large a fund of 
 valuable information, and in words and formulae as brief 
 as is consistent with clearness. 
 
 To steer clear of the fault of saying too much, on the 
 one hand, and too little on the other, was a work of no 
 little trouble. The author is aware of many omissions 
 which the reader will no doubt detect. He does not claim 
 infallibility, as perfection is unattainable, and especially 
 is this the case in the science of Pharmacy and Chemistry, 
 as the goal of either, to-day, may be but the startling 
 point of the morrow. 
 
 Clearness, brevity, precision and accuracy have been 
 the aims of the author, and how far he has succeeded, 
 after a careful perusal of this work, judge ye. 
 
 The words of the philosopher covers the case : "To 
 rest short of his own aims, is incident to every man whose 
 views are comprehensive and whose fancy is lively; 
 neither is any man satisfied with himself because he has 
 done much, but because he can conceive little."

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 
 
 Upon presenting this, the second edition, to my brother 
 druggists, a few words will not be out of place. The 
 generous favor with which the first edition has been 
 received, and its ready sale, are convincing proofs that 
 such a work was needed. It is with pleasure I now 
 present for your favorable notice, in its new dress, and 
 thoroughly revised, this second edition ; free, I trust, from 
 many of the errors and imperfections which will, of 
 almost a certainty, be found in any new work. Of its 
 usefulness little need be said, as the many words of kind 
 encouragement I have received will amply show. It is 
 not the aim or intention of the author to supply the place 
 of the United States Pharmacopoeia, or text books of like 
 character, but to furnish a work of ready reference and 
 compilation of unomcinal formulae, as well as those of an 
 officinal character, from the cream of the drug and medical 
 publications of the world, that will be of use to the profes- 
 sion. The author will devote his future time to the 
 collection of additional matter, which will be issued in 
 supplement form from time to time, thus placing before 
 the busy druggist, in a convenient shape, all formulae 
 that are new and desirable, thereby saving him much 
 valuable time and money. The Author.

 It often happens that a druggist is called upon to 
 change a quantity from one weight to its equivalent in 
 another, which, at the best, is tedious. I append a rule 
 for effecting such a change. 
 
 To Change a Quantity from One Weight to its 
 Equivalent in Another. 
 
 Rule. — Reduce the given quantity to grains, and then 
 find their value in denominations of the weight required.

 Explanation. — We multiply 13 lbs. by 7000 because there are 
 7000 grains in a pound Avoirdupois ; this gives us 91000 grains. We 
 multiply 6 oz. by 437^ because there are 437^ grains in an ounce 
 Avoirdupois ; this gives us 2625 grains. We now add 91000 grains and 
 the 2625 grains, making a total of 93625 grains. We now make our 
 divisor 5760, because there are 5760 grains in a pound Troy weight. 
 Our remainder, 1465, we multiply bj 12, because there are 12 ounces 
 in a pound Troy. We multiply the remainder, 300, by 20, because 
 there are 20 pwts. in an ounce, and remainder of 240 by 24 because 
 there are 24 grains in a pwt.

CHAPTER II. 
 
 METEIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 
 
 To enter into an argument either for or against the 
 metric system of weights and measures, is not the inten- 
 tion of the author. 
 
 It is eminently right and proper to know just what the 
 system is, for to be able to dispense correct by and intelli- 
 gently in both systems, is a duty we owe to the profes- 
 sion, as we cannot be ignorant of the fact that many of 
 the leading physicians of our country prescribe inva- 
 riably in the metric system, hence the necessity of this 
 chapter. 
 
 Surgeon General Woodworth, of the U. S. Marine Hos- 
 pital Service, has issued a circular, with the approval of 
 Secretary Sherman, requiring medical officers of the Ma- 
 rine Hospital Service to make use hereafter, for all offi- 
 cial medical and pharmaceutical purposes, of the metric 
 system of weights and measures, which has already, 
 under the act of July 28, 1866, been adopted by this ser- 
 vice for the purveying of medical supplies. 
 
 Now, what is the Metric System ? 
 
 The word "metric" is from the Greek word metron, a 
 measure, and is pronounced met-ric. In this system, it 
 is the gramme, written gram, and the centigram and the 
 cubic centimeter, which concerns the physicians. 
 
 To facilitate the ready conversion of the old into the 
 new terms of weights and measures, the following simple 
 rules are appended. 
 
THE METRIC SYSTEM. 15 
 
 1. — To express quantities by weight of the apotheca- 
 ries' system in metric terms, or to write medical prescrip- 
 tions in metric weights. 
 
 Kule A. — Eeduce each quantity to grains, then divide 
 the number by 10 (or move the decimal point one place 
 to the left), and from the quotient subtract one-third. 
 The remainder is in each case the number of grammes 
 representing nearly the same quantity. 
 
 Eule B. — Keduce each quantity to drachms, and mul- 
 tiply by 4. The product is in each case the number of 
 grammes representing (nearly) the same quantity. 
 
 Eule C, — Eeduce each quantity to ounces, and multiply 
 the number by 32, the product is in each case the number 
 of grammes representing (nearly) the same quantity. 
 
 Eemark.— To insure greater accuracy, if in any case 
 deemed necessary, three per cent, may be deducted from 
 the answer arrived at by either of the rules A, B and C. 
 
 2. — To express quantities by measure of the apothecaries' 
 system in metric terms, or to write medical prescriptions 
 in metric cubic measure. 
 
 Eule D. — Eeduce each quantity to minims, then divide 
 the number by 10, or move the decimal point one place 
 to the left, and from the quotient subtract one-third. 
 The remainder is in each case the number of cubic cen- 
 timeters representing (nearly) the same quantity. 
 
 Eule E. — Eeduce each quantity to fluid drachms, and 
 multiply the number by 4. The product is in each case 
 the number of cubic centimeters representing (nearly) the 
 same quantity. 
 
16 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 
 
 Kule F. — Reduce each quantity to fluid ounces, and 
 multiply the number by 32. The product is in each case 
 the number of cubic centimeters representing (nearly) the 
 same quantity. 
 
 Eemark. — To ensure greater accuracy, if in any case 
 deemed necessary, eight percent, may be deducted from the 
 answer arrived at by either of the rules D, E and F, 
 reducing the error to less than 2£ minims for every fluid 
 ounce. 
 
 In applying the above rules for writing prescriptions, 
 the metric quantities should be adjusted so as to be ex- 
 pressed in as simple decimal terms as may be practicable, 
 without materially changing the dose or the character of 
 the formulae. 
 
 The terms "gramme" and "cubic centimeter" are gen- 
 erally abbreviated into Gm. and C. C. To preclude the 
 possibility, in careless writing, however, of mistaking the 
 sign "Gm." for the sign "Gr." (grain), the number should 
 invariably precede the sign, using the common Arabic 
 numerals, thus : 10 Gm. 
 
 In writing, the abbreviated metric denominations should 
 always be underscored, but the preceding number should 
 not, as above. 
 
 A few examples will suffice to illustrate the foregoing 
 rules and suggestions :

 How to Calculate Formulae for Elixirs. 
 
 Suppose you desired to prepare an elixir that shall 
 contain Sulphate of Quinine 2 grains, Sulphate of Mor- 
 phia -^- grain, Arsenious Acid -~ grain, Strychnia ~~- 
 grain, Ex. Aconite J- grain in each fluid drachm. Pro- 
 ceed thus : Choose a convenient number of fluid 
 drachms, divisible by all the fractionable denominators, 
 and, calculating on that basis, the quantity of each pro- 
 duct needed to bring the elixir to the proper strength. 
 In the present case we take 60, — the lowest number 
 divisible by the three denominators, 2, 20 and 30, — and 
 the formula will read thus : 
 
 Sulphate of Quinine, 
 Sulphate of Morphia, 
 Arsenious Acid, 
 
 (60x2) 
 (AX 60) 
 (2VX6O)

 Simple elixir sufficient to complete 60 fl. drachms. 
 The manipulation will be the usual one— that is, each 
 
ELIXIRS 23 
 
 substance will have to be dissolved separately in the 
 menstruum, with the help of the appropriate solvents, 
 and the whole mixed together and filtered. Instead of 
 60, its multiples, 120, 180, etc., may be taken as a basis 
 of calculation, and formulas will be obtained free from 
 awkward fractions of a grain, that are represented by no 
 weight procurable. 
 
 General Rule in Making Elixirs Requiring Percolation. 
 
 Take of the drug or drugs set down in the formula ; 
 next take of the percolating menstruum (see below) 
 sufficient to make 13 ounces, with five ounces of Sugar 
 and one ounce of Prepared Flavoring, and proceed as 
 directed in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, which is as follows : 
 The substance to be subjected to percolation, after hav- 
 ing been reduced by sifting to a uniform powder of the 
 fineness indicated in the formula, is to be put into a 
 basin and rubbed with a portion of the menstruum until 
 uniformly moistened. A portion of the powder is now 
 to be carefully placed upon the diaphragm (a piece of 
 cotton or cloth placed in the neck of the percolator), and 
 pressed gently until the muslin resting against the sides 
 of the percolator, just above the neck, is covered with a 
 uniform layer. The remainder of the powder is then to 
 be transferred to the percolator, and compressed evenly 
 and firmly, and the leveled surface covered with a cir- 
 cular piece of moistened muslin or paper, so that the 
 liquid poured upon it may penetrate equally and not 
 disarrange the powder. The percolator being now prop- 
 erly supported, with its neck in a bottle previously 
 marked for the quantity or quantities of liquid to be 
 percolated, the menstruum is to be poured on until the 
 
24 ELIXIRS. 
 
 space above is nearly filled ; and a layer of it must be 
 constantly maintained above the powder, so as to prevent 
 the access of air to its interstices, nntil it has been added, 
 or until the requisite quantity of percolate has been 
 obtained. 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 1st. We give a number of formulas for Simple Elixirs, 
 but for cost, ease of manufacturing in small quantities 
 and for general results, we prefer Formula No 8, which is 
 the one adopted by the American Pharmaceutical Asso- 
 ciation; the remarks there made are applicable to all 
 elixirs. The paper pulp can be easily made and kept on 
 hand by tearing up filtering paper, putting in wide mouth 
 bottle and filling up with water, changing the water often, 
 
 2d. Should any cloudiness still appear, a little pow- 
 dered charcoal in the filter will usually remove it. 
 
 3d. By filtering through animal charcoal the color 
 can be removed from such wines as Sherry, etc., and 
 many articles which are desired to be colorless. In many 
 others, simply Carbonate Magnesia will answer. 
 
 4th. Eemove Tannin from wines before making any 
 preparations containing Iron, Pepsin, etc., by adding 3 
 oz. milk (hot boiled) to every gallon, and shaking well; 
 let stand twenty-four hours and test a portion with Tine. 
 Iron ; if it should show any trace of Tannin repeat the 
 process and, lastly, filter. 
 
 5th. In using Strychnia, too much care cannot be used 
 in seeing that it is thoroughly dissolved, and where not 
 contra indicated, Hall's Solution is recommended, one 
 ounce of the solution representing one grain of Strychnia. 
 
ELIXIRS. 25 
 
 
 6th. Citrate of Bismuth and Ammonium can be dis- 
 solved by the addition of two drachms of hot water to 
 each drachm of the salt, and the careful addition of Aqua 
 Ammonia till the solution is clear. 
 
 7th. Pyrophosphate of Iron can be dissolved with two 
 drachms of hot water to the drachm of Iron, continuing 
 the heat till all dissolved. 
 
 8th. Quinine and Cinchonidia may be dissolved by 
 rubbing with separate portions of the Elixir and allowing 
 to stand till solution is complete. In cold weather heat 
 will be found to expedite matters, or Citric Acid can be 
 used, rubbing the Salts with a portion of the Elixir, and 
 dissolving the Acid in another portion ; add together, let 
 stand a short time and neutralize with Aqua Ammonia, 
 care being taken not to add an excess, or the Salts will 
 be precipitated. 
 
 9th. Soluble Citrate of Iron and Quinine, Iron and 
 Strychnia, Iron and Ammonia; dissolve in hot water, 
 two drachms to one drachm of the Salts. 
 
 10th. For detannating, use Hydrated Peroxide of Iron, 
 or milk. The former can be made by taking Solution 
 Persulphate of Iron U. S. P. 16 ounces, mix with two 
 gallons water in open crock that will hold four or five 
 gallons; add Aqua Ammonia, stirring constantly until 
 the Ammonia can be detected by the odor after standing. 
 After a slight excess of Ammonia has been added, fill 
 the jar with fresh water, stir and let stand till precipitate 
 settles, pour off water, add fresh, and so continue for a 
 number of waters. Collect precipitate upon a cloth 
 strainer, drain and put into wide-mouth bottle, and add, 
 if desired to keep any length of time, from two or four 
 
26 ELIXIRS. 
 
 ounces of Glycerine. Of this preparation from one-half 
 to three ounces may be added to the pint of Elixir, shak- 
 ing well and let stand twenty-four hours, filter and test

 The above makes a turbid mixture, but by throwing 
 filtering paper, torn into shreds, into the mixture and 
 allowing to stand twenty-four hours, and before filter-

CHAPTEE IV. 
 
 TINCTUKES. 
 
 Tinctures were formerly made by maceration for two 
 weeks, but are now best prepared by percolation. The 
 Paris Society of Pharmacy direct percolation with Alco- 
 hol of 60 deg. for Belladonna, Conium, Hyoscyamus, 
 Stramonium, Digitalis, Quassia, Pale Cinchona, Ehatany 
 and Senna ; with Alcohol of 80 deg. for Valerian, Cin- 
 namon, and red and yellow Cinchona. They advise 
 maceration with Alcohol of 60 deg. for Aloes, Arnica, 
 Catechu, Colchicum Bulbs, Gentian, Ipecacuanha, Musk, 
 Khubarb and Squill ; with Alcohol of 80 deg. for Castor, 
 Columbo, Colchicum Seeds, Cloves, Ginger, Jalap, Nux 
 Vomica, Saffron and Vanilla ; with Alcohol of 90 deg. 
 for Assafoetida, Balsam of Peru, Balsam of Tolu, Ben- 
 zoin, Ammonia, Myrrh and Scammony. 
 
 In preparing Tinctures, care should be taken that the 
 substances treated should be exhausted of their soluble 
 principles, in order to obtain a perfectly clear liquid; 
 this, of course, is done during percolation; when pre- 
 pared by maceration they require to be frequently shaken 
 during the process, which should be conducted in glass 
 bottles, well stopped. 
 
 On the subject of Percolation, see U. S. Pharmacopoeia. 
 
 Note. In the preparation of Tinctures (and all other medicines > 
 the use of the Troy Weight is understood, unless otherwise specified.

CHAPTEB V. 
 
 SOLUTIONS, 
 
 Solutions are generally placed under two heads — Sim- 
 ple Solutions, and Complex or Chemical Solutions. 
 
 A Simple Solution is where the dissolved body may be 
 recovered without undergoing any Chemical change in 
 the evaporation of the solvent, or by its removal in any 
 way. 
 
 A Complex Solution is where a body undergoes some 
 Chemical alteration, either in composition or decomposi- 
 tion. 
 
 "Hot liquids dissolve substances," says Parrish, "with 
 greater facility than cold, except Lime, its citrate and 
 acetate: and Chloride of Sodium." The term saturated, 
 when used in Pharmacy, signifies that an acid is neu- 
 tralized by an alkali, or vice versa, or, in other words, 
 that an equivalent proportion of one substance has com- 
 bined with an equivalent portion of another, for which 
 it has an affinity ; they are then said to have saturated 
 each other. 
 
 Solutions are not confined to solids, for one liquid may 
 dissolve another, as, for instance, Ether in Water, and 
 Essential Oils in Alcohol. When no chemical combina- 
 
SOLUTIONS. 163 
 
 tion takes place, volume and temperature remain unal- 
 tered, while in chemical combinations a rise in temper- 
 ature and a condensation in volume is observed. Water 
 with strong Alcohol or Concentrated Acids, furnishes an 
 example.

 In view of the wide-spread and rapidly increasing

 prove of interest and benefit.

 Mix the Iron Solution with eight pints of the Water 
 and precipitate the Oxide of Iron therefrom by means of 
 the Water of Ammonia, previously diluted with the 
 remaining four pints of Water, care being taken to have 
 a slight excess of Ammonia. Collect the precipitate 
 upon a close cotton (drilling) strainer of ample propor- 
 tions, well secured around the ends. Wash the precipi- 
 tate with plenty of Distilled Water of a temperature not 
 exceeding 50° F., stirring the magma constantly, with a 
 horn or wooden spatula while pouring the Water upon it. 
 Set the magma aside to drain for several hours and then,

 without expressing, or, if too moist after application of 
 very slight and gradual pressure, transfer to a wide mouth 
 bottle and add four fluid ounces of Solution of Chloride 
 of Iron, shake briskly for a while and then set aside in a 
 cool place for twenty-four hours, or until a complete 
 solution has been effected, meanwhile stirring the mix- 
 ture frequently. Finally transfer the solution to a dialy- 
 ser, and proceed in the usual manner. The process 
 requires from eight to twelve days for completion. The 
 preparation may be considered finished when Tincture of 
 Nutgalls produces no darkening color, and nitrate of sil- 
 ver no precipitate in the diluted solution. 
 
 When time is no object, successive portions of Oxide 
 of Iron may be dissolved in the solution already obtained 
 in the same manner as the first portion, thus shortening 
 the process of dialysing, or, in fact, carrying the satura- 
 tion when the latter becomes altogether unnecessary, 
 since, according to Hager, the resulting preparation pos- 
 sesses precisely the same physical and chemical proper- 
 ties and peculiarities as the dialysed liquid.

 liquid. We again take two quarts of water and shake 
 with the precipitate, after which allow to stand, and 
 again pour off the liquid. We again take two quarts of 
 hot water, shake with the precipitate, which must be 
 allowed to stand, and again pour off the liquid. This 
 must be repeated until the mixture is free from Chloride 
 of Ammonia. This will require two or three gallons of 
 hot water. The precipitate must be poured in a muslin 
 strainer, and washed with a little hot water. Press the 
 water out of the precipitate, and dissolve it in the solu-

 Acid, and allow the mixture to stand until effervescence 
 has ceased. Heat it to the boiling point, decant the 
 liquid from the undissolved Iron, filter it through paper 
 and rinse the flask with a little boiling water, adding 
 this to it through the filter. Pour the filtered liquid into 
 a capsule of the capacity of four pints, add the remainder 
 of the Muriatic Acid, and, having heated the mixture 
 nearly to the boiling point, add a troy ounce and a half

CHAPTER VI. 
 
 FLUID EXTEAOTS. 
 
 General Formula. 
 
 The quantity of powdered material directed to be used 
 in each of the following formulas is sixteen Troy ounces. 
 This powder is to be moistened with a specific quantity 
 of menstruum, and properly packed in a suitable perco- 
 lator. The surface of the powder is then to be covered 
 with a disc of paper, and the remaining portion of six- 
 teen fluid ounces of menstruum is to be poured upon it. 
 "When the liquid begins to drop from the percolator, close 
 the lower orifice with a cork, and having closely covered 
 the percolator to prevent evaporation, set it aside in a 
 moderately warm place for four days. The cork is then 
 to be removed, more menstruum is to be gradually added, 
 and the percolation continued until twenty-four fluid 
 ounces have been obtained. Of these, the first fourteen 
 fluid ounces are to be reserved, and the remainder, hav- 
 ing been carefully evaporated, by means of a water-bath, 
 to two fluid ounces, is to be mixed with the reserved por- 
 tion, and filtered through paper if necessary. 
 
 As this formula will be repeatedly referred to, it com- 
 mands your special attention.

 Pack the powdered drugs (moistened with a little diluted 
 Alcohol) in a percolator, mix the Glycerine with the dilu- 
 ted Alcohol and pour upon them, until twenty ounces of 
 percolate are obtained. Evaporate this, by means of a 
 water bath, to fourteen fluid ounces. Then add the Oils 
 and Spirits Nitre and mix thoroughly. 
 
 Dose, one-half, to one teaspoonful. 
 
 This modified formula furnishes an elegant and valua- 
 ble preparation. 
 
CHAPTEK VII. 
 
 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Before the reader commences this chapter on Specific 
 Medication, it would be advantageous to possess a clear 
 understanding as to the meaning of the term "Specific," 
 as applied in medicine, in order to thoroughly understand 
 the teaching of Eclectic practitioners. I cannot, there- 
 fore, do better than quote the words of the father of 
 Eclecticism, Prof. John M. Scudder, professor of the 
 principles and practice of medicine, in the Eclectic Med- 
 ical Institute, Cincinnati. He says : " Many persons 
 are in error in regard to our use of the term ' Specific.' 
 They think of a specific medicine as one that will cure 
 all cases of a certain disease according to our present 
 nosology, as pneumonia, dysentery, diarrhea, albuminu- 
 ria, phthisis, etc., and a person looking at the subject in 
 this light, and guided by his experience in the use of 
 remedies, would at once say there are no specifics." 
 
 I use the term specific with relation to definite path- 
 ological conditions, and propose to say that certain well- 
 determined deviations from the healthy state will always 
 be corrected by certain specific medicines. Prof. Scudder 
 goes on to say : " We do not propose to reach all patho- 
 logical changes by one remedy, except in those cases in 
 
198 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 which one lesion is primary, and the others result from 
 it. We propose a remedy for each pathological feature, 
 using the remedy for that which is first in the change of 
 morbid action, and that second which stands second, and 
 so on." 
 
 This respectable class of practitioners, to whom hu- 
 manity is indebted for many discoveries in the medical 
 art, is constantly increasing in such numbers that the 
 Eclectic physician can be found in every city and village 
 throughout our country. It is, therefore, with this in view 
 that a chapter on Eclectic Medicine has been written. 
 His medicines have become a necessity. Their composi- 
 tion and mode of administration must be known to you. 
 The law demands that your duty of dispensing be done 
 with judgment and discrimination. But how is it possi- 
 ble to discriminate and exercise judgment with respect to 
 Eclecticism except when one knows what it is ? — Hence 
 this chapter. 
 
 Arsenic. 
 
 The friends of liberal medicine look upon this mineral 
 as a depressant, and class it among the antiphlogistic s. 
 
 It is well known that Arsenic exists in nature, in com- 
 bination with nickel and cobalt, and is largely used by 
 Homeopathic physicians. In small doses it lessens the 
 frequency of the pulse, gives freedom to the circulation, 
 and relieves irritation of the nervous system. It is use- 
 ful in pustulsB and the tuberculae. It is a nerve stimu- 
 lant, and often employed in phthisis. Prof. Howe, of 
 Cincinnati, uses Arsenic in combination with veratrum. 
 The cancer specialists use it largely. The writer has 
 often seen it used in the intermittents of children, as it is 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 199 
 
 a tasteless remedy, and works well, stopping the parox- 
 isms of ague and periodic neuralgia. Arsenic will destroy 
 malignant growths. 
 For adults, the prescription would be : 
 #.— Fowler's Solution, Z j. 
 Aqua, E iv. 
 
 Mix. 
 Teaspoonful, every three hours. 
 
 The dose for a child would be from gtt. ij. to gtt. rv, 
 twice or three times a day. 
 
 Aconite Napellus. 
 
 [Monkshood.] tWolf's Bane.] 
 
 The leaves and roots are the medicinal parts. To make 
 the Tincture, take 3 viii. Eecent Eoot, Alcohol, Oj. 
 
 Although Aconite, in the hands of an intelligent phy- 
 sician, is of great service as a sedative and anodyne, yet 
 we never would advise an unskilled person to use this 
 drug. If it is used in the family, let it be under the 
 guidance of your family physician. It is an excellent 
 remedy in all febrile and inflammatory diseases, in rheu- 
 matism, peretonites, gastritis, and many other acute dis- 
 orders. It increases the power of the heart's action, 
 lessens the frequency of the pulse, removes irritation of 
 the cardiac nerves. It is an excellent remedy in dysentery 
 from cold, and said to be good in croup. 
 
 Formula : 
 
 P. — Tinct. Aconite, gtt. v. to x. 
 Aqua, § rv. 
 
 Teaspoonful every hour, in acute disease. 
 
 To a child 2 years old, give gtt. ii. to v. in Aqua 5 iv. 
 
200 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Atropa Belladonna. 
 
 The best preparation is an alcoholic Tincture of the 
 recent plant. The dose is one drop. For hypodermic 
 use, they employ a solution of Atropa in proportion of 
 one grain to the ounce of distilled water — the dose would 
 then be five to ten drops. This is also the best propor- 
 tion for use to dilate the pupil. As a collyrium, we 
 would add 5 j of this solution to ^ j of distilled water. 
 Atropa Belladonna is exhibited when the patient is dull 
 and stupid, and the child drowsy and sleeps with its 
 eyes partly open, pupils dilated, eyes dull. It is said to 
 be a specific in incontinence of urine, owing to an imper- 
 fect pelvic circulation. 
 
 For an adult, in the proportion of gtt. v. to gtt. x. to 
 water % iv. ; in the child, gtt. v. to § iv. ; in each a tea- 
 spoonful every hour. We have given the maximum dose, 
 as it must be used in small doses. We may also mention 
 that an enfeebled circulation demands Atropa Bella- 
 donna. 
 
 Aloes. 
 
 "The use of Aloes in medicine," says Prof. Scudder, 
 "should be quite limited." He believes that, in small 
 quantities and in combination with other agents that act 
 upon the upper intestinal canal, it proves a good cath- 
 artic, as in the following : 
 
 ^ .— Podophyllin, grs. x. 
 
 Leptandrin, grs. xxx. 
 
 Aloes, grs. xx. 
 
 Extract of Hyoscyamus, grs. xxx. 
 Make thirty pills. 
 He also recommends Aloes in small doses in cases of 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 201 
 
 feeble innervation, especially in persons of gross habits. 
 He prescribes it in connection with nux vomica or w.th 
 tincture of Belladonna. Dose of the strong tincture, from 
 two to ten drops. 
 The following is also recommended : 
 
 ^. —Extract Nux Vomica, grs. vj. 
 Aloes, grs. xv. 
 
 Hyclrastine, 3 ss. 
 
 Make thirty pills. One may be given three or four 
 times a day. 
 
 Alstonia Constricta. 
 
 [Fever Bark of Australia.] 
 
 This is a recent addition to the Materia Medica. It is 
 a native of Australia, taking the place of quinine in the 
 cure of fever among the herdsmen and inhabitants of that 
 country. It was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition 
 in 1876. As an ague cure, it is said to produce more 
 permanent results than Quinine. As an anti-periodic, 
 the dose will be about five, to ten grains of the powder. 
 
 Bryonia. 
 
 The Eclectics employ the German Tincture in the pro- 
 portion of gtt. v. to gtt. xxx. in aqua 5 iv. A teaspoon- 
 ful every one, two or three hours. Its use is indicated 
 where there is pain in right side of the face and head, 
 burning in the eyes and nose, with acrid nasal discharge ; 
 rheumatism, pneumonia and catarrhal effections. It is 
 contra-indicated where disease of the air passages is pre- 
 sent, but prescribed largely in rheumatism involving the 
 synovial membranes. 
 
202 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Leptandra Virginica. 
 
 The Tincture is prepared, ^ viii. to Alcohol Oj. Dose, 
 gtt. x. to xx., in water. 
 
 The root is the medicinal part, and often prepared as 
 an infusion, but the tincture is preferable. The plant is 
 indigenous to the United States, is found in woods and 
 swamps and lime-stone regions. The leptandra exerts 
 an influence upon the entire intestinal tract; and is 
 very useful in chronic hepatic diseases, and peculiarly 
 applicable in bilious and typhoid fevers. In diarrhea 
 and dysentery, as a cathartic, it is recommended. 
 
 Baptisia Tinctoria. 
 
 The pocket case of the Eclectic physician is never com- 
 plete without this remedy. 
 
 The Baptisia grows in dry places in many parts of the 
 United States, and bears bright yellow flowers in July 
 and August. It is a small shrub, not exceeding two or 
 three feet high. The medicinal part of the plant is the 
 bark of the root. The leaves are also medicinal. The 
 virtues of the root yield to Alcohol and water. It has, 
 however, been employed in infusion. Dr. Scuddej rec- 
 ommends a tincture by percolation, using 3 viii of the 
 bark of the root to Oj, of 98° Alcohol. The infusion is 
 made with g j of the bark to 3 iv boiling water. Dose, one 
 teaspoonful. Of the tincture, gtt. x, to I iv of water, 
 Dose, a teaspoonful. 
 
 It is purgative, emetic, astringent and anti-septic. As 
 a fomentation, it is good in ulcers, sore mouth or throat, 
 stomatitis, cynanche maligna, and the sore throat of 
 scarlet fever. In some cases of diphtheria it is useful, 
 and in typhoid dysentery it is looked upon with great 
 confidence. 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 203 
 
 Among the most valuable medicines in our Materia 
 Medica will be found the Bromides, as every practitioner 
 who has been any length of time in the profession will 
 testify. 
 
 Bromide of Ammonia. 
 
 The physician is often surprised and delighted with 
 the efficacy of this drug, when properly and promptly 
 administered, in the convulsions of children. In epilepsy 
 it has proved in many cases a specific. The Bromide of 
 Ammonia is a strong stimulant to the nerve centers. 
 The internal administration in small doses of this drug 
 removes the predisposition to convulsions in children. 
 Its action is also good in whooping-cough. It has been 
 recommended in the following proportion : 
 
 P. — Bromide of Ammonia, 3 iij. 
 Aqua, § iv. 
 
 Mix. 
 
 Teaspoonful, four times a day. 
 
 Iodide of Ammonia. 
 
 There is not the risk attending this remedy that we 
 have in the Iodide of Potassium, and for that reason it is 
 preferable in secondary syphilis and enfeebled nutritive 
 powers. The Iodide of Ammonia has been employed with 
 great benefit in persistent headaches. 
 
 $. — Iodide of Ammonia, oij. 
 Water, =§ iv. 
 
 Mix. 
 
 Teaspoonful, every four hours. 
 
204 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Macrotys Racemosa. 
 [Black Cohosh.] 
 
 Macrotys Bacemosa and Ciruicifuga Kacemosa are the 
 same. 
 
 The medicinal part is the root. This plant is a native of 
 the United States, inhabiting the woods and hillsides, and 
 flowers from May to August. The Tincture is prepared 
 from the fresh root, using 3 viii, to Alcohol 76°, Oj. Dose, 
 from one to ten drops. 
 
 It is said to be a specific in rheumatism, and exerting a 
 marked influence over the nervous system. In rheuma- 
 tic fever, Prof. Scudder says it is speedy and certain in 
 action, where the disease has not localized itself as an in- 
 flamation. There is no doubt of its being a valuable and 
 useful medicine in cholera, periodical convulsions, fits, 
 epilepsy, delerium tremens, and many spasmodic affec- 
 tions, in cough, neuralgia and scrofula. Its influence is 
 marked in functional diseases of the reproductive organs 
 of women, in amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and leucorrhea. 
 It is a superior remedy in a variety of chronic diseases, 
 and useful in palpitation of the heart and cardiac affect- 
 ions generally. . 
 
 Muriate of Ammonia. 
 
 This drug is used as a stimulant to the capillary circu- 
 lation ; shortness of breath, and in Splenitis. 
 
 In eruptive fevers, when the eruption is tardy in appear- 
 ing. Use it rubbed up in lard. 
 
 Amyl Nitrate. 
 
 An ethereal liquid, of a yellowish color, and a peculiar 
 yet not an unpleasant odor, insoluble in water, but solu- 
 ble in rectified spirits. The dose is from the fraction of 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 205 
 
 a drop to two drops, or in homeopathic dilution ; in large 
 doses, or inhaled, it is a powerful poison. It is employed 
 in asthma, epilepsy, nervous headache, chorea, hiccough, 
 gastralgia. 
 
 Mix the Amyl Nitrate with an equal part of Oil of Cori- 
 ander, to render it less volatile, and at the same time to 
 cover its odor. It is the most powerful diaphoretic 
 known, and used with great satisfaction in the cold stage 
 of ague. Dr. Saunders, of Isidore, employs the Amyl 
 Nitrate in this way: Four drops of the mixture are 
 poured on a small piece of lint, which is given into the 
 hands of the patient, and he is told to inhale it freely. 
 He soon becomes flushed ; his pulse and respiration are 
 accelerated ; when he feels warm all over, the inhalation 
 is discontinued, as the symptoms continue to increase for 
 some time after ; a profuse perspiration now sets in, which 
 speedily ends the attack. In some cases, however, the 
 cold stage passes off without any hot or sweating stage. 
 
 Rhus Tocicoden&ron. 
 
 [Poison Oak.] 
 
 Prepare your Tincture from the recent leaves, 5 viii, to 
 alcohol, 98°, Oj. 
 
 Prescribe, Ehus gtt. x, to Aqua g iv. Dose, one tea- 
 spoonful every two hours. 
 
 The Rhus is prized as a valuable medicine in inflam- 
 mation giving an ichorous discharge, in which the tissues 
 seem melting away ; in erysipelas ; as antidote to zymotic 
 poisoning, tympanitis, acrid discharges from the bowels 
 or bladder. 
 
 If sharp pain is felt in the frontal region, especially in 
 left orbit ; or any local pain, when it is sharp and burn- 
 ing, 'indicates the use of Rhus Toxicodendron. 
 
206 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Gelseminum. 
 
 [Yellow Jessamine.] 
 
 Gelsemirmm Sempervirens, or Yellow Jessamine, or as 
 it is sometimes called, Woodbine, abounds throughout 
 the Southern States. It has a twining, smooth stem, yel- 
 low flowers, and agreeable odor. Its leaves are dark 
 green above and pale beneath. 
 
 Among Eclectic physicians it is highly valued and 
 largely prescribed. It is said by them to influence the 
 brain as well as the spinal center, and sympathetic nerves ; 
 that it relieves irritation and determination of blood, recti- 
 fies the various secretions without nausea,vomiting and 
 purging. It is contra-indicated when the eyes are dull, 
 pupils dilated, and the countenance expressionless. It 
 is given in nervous and bilious headaches, colds, pneumo- 
 nia, and many kinds of fever. Many physicians claim 
 it as the specific in dysuria from stricture, enabling the 
 patient to pass urine in from four to eight hours. . The 
 root is the part used. It yields its virtues to water and 
 alcohol. The Tincture is made in the usual manner — 
 that is, Gelseminum Eoot, 3 viii, Alcohol, Oj. Dose, from 
 the fraction of a drop to gtt. vj. 
 
 Strychnos Nux Vomica. 
 
 [Xux Vomica.] 
 
 The medicinal part of this plant is the seed, from 
 which the Tincture is made. Take : 3 viii of the freshly 
 powdered seeds, Alcohol, 98° Oj. Dose, from one to five 
 drops. 
 
 The following formula is recommended by leading Ec- 
 lectics : 
 
 #. — Sulphate of Strychnia, grs. iv. 
 Aqua, 1 iv. 
 
 Solve. 
 Dose, gtt. v to gtt. xx. 
 Nux Vomica exerts a specific influence upon the intes 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 207 
 
 tinal canal and associate vicera, that renders it a most 
 valuable remedy, not alone to the Eclectic or Homeo- 
 pathic physician, but to the Allopathic physician as well. 
 Although an energetic poison, yet, in the hands of a skill- 
 ful practitioner, it is very valuable in congestion of the 
 liver, spleen and portal circle. It influences the cerebro- 
 spinal centre, and is good in paralysis, general debility, 
 pain in the stomach and bowels, sickness, pain in fore- 
 head, in dysentery, and gives quick relief in gastric irri- 
 tation; when we have enfeebled respiration in typhoid 
 and asthenic diseases, it is highly recommended. In 
 overdoses it will produce lock-jaw. 
 
 Veratrum Viride. 
 
 [American Hellebore.] 
 
 Prepare a Tincture from the recent root, 1 viii, to Alco- 
 hol 76° Oj. Dose, from one to three drops. 
 
 The stem of this plant is from three to five feet high, 
 with leaves from six inches to a foot long ; flowers green. 
 It is a native of the United States, growing in swamps, 
 low ground and moist meadows. It is a medicine con- 
 taining many valuable properties. It is employed to 
 lessen the frequency of the heart's action. It is hyp- 
 notic, anodyne and anti-spasmodic ; better than Opium, 
 in that it does not produce constipation. A full, bound- 
 ing pulse calls for Veratrum. It is the remedy for sthe- 
 nia, where there is a free circulation. 
 
 Veratrum is used when Opium disagrees with the pa- 
 tient, as in sleeplessness. Combined with other prepara- 
 tions, it is good in gout, rheumatism, asthma, chronic 
 cough, neuralgia, pneumonia, in connection with Gel- 
 seminum. It is used as a local application in erysipelas, 
 in felons, diseases of the bones, tonsillitis, etc. 
 
208 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Bromide of Potassium. 
 
 The Bromide of Potassium is, without doubt, one of the 
 most valuable medicines in the Materia Medica. Its uses 
 are various. Thielman recommends this remedy as an 
 excellent anaphrodisiac, in satyriasis, in the frequent and 
 painful erections during gonorrhea, in spermatorrhea, and 
 in nyphomania. He administered it in two to three grs. 
 every two or three hours. It is useful in epilepsy, when 
 associated with irritation of the reproductive organs, or 
 especially in irritation of the cerebellum. 
 
 The learned Dr. Alfred Meadows says : "Of all drugs in 
 the Pharmacopoeia, I know of none which possesses such 
 great power as the Bromide of Potassium, in menorrha- 
 gia. Dr. Scudder uses the Bromide of Potassium in 
 spermatorrhea. 
 
 The writer can testify to its great service in nearly 
 every form of headache, and insomnia. In combination 
 with veratrum, it is often used successfully in billious 
 fevers. 
 
 Iodide of Ammonium. 
 
 The Tincture may be made as follows : 
 
 #.— Tincture of Iodine (strong), ) , , 
 
 Aqua Ammonia (strong), \ equai parts * 
 
 Put in a bottle, and allow it to become colorless. It is 
 much more serviceable in this form, from the fact of its 
 not staining the skin ; and is an excellent remedy in boils, 
 inflammation, buboes, etc. 
 
 The Iodide of Ammonia is recommended in secondary 
 syphilis of an asthenic type, with nervous symptoms ; 
 chronic headache, enfeebled circulation, often giving in- 
 stant relief, and in many cases affecting a permanent 
 cure. 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 209 
 
 Jaborandi. 
 
 The Tincture may be made as follows : 
 
 #. — Jaborandi Leaves, 1 viii. 
 Alcohol 98° Oj. 
 It is one of the most active diaphoretics known. A 
 drachm and a half of the powdered leaves in infusion, or 
 one drachm of the Tincture in six ounces of hot water, 
 will produce profuse sweating. It is a remedy in convul- 
 sions, puerperal fever, in bilous fevers, rheumatism and 
 dropsy. 
 
 Cinnamon. 
 
 Cinnamon is a grateful aromatic, and useful to cover 
 the taste of nauseous bodies, and if used with cathartics, 
 it will prevent griping. Used as an infusion, it will pre- 
 vent vomiting. It exerts an influence upon the uterus, 
 and circulatory system, as well as checking hemorrhage. 
 The Tincture is prepared from the oil, in the proportion, of 
 3 j to Alcohol gviii. The powdered bark is administered 
 in doses of gr. v, to Bj. 
 
 Colocynth. 
 
 The common name is Bitter Cucumber. The medicinal 
 part is the fruit, divested of the rind. It is a powerful 
 hydrogogue cathartic, producing copious watery stools. 
 It is used in dysentery, dropsy and cerebral derangements. 
 It should always be used in conjunction with hyoscyamus. 
 The Tincture is administered in small doses. Dose, gtt. 
 v to aqua 3 iv. A teaspoonf ul every hour will give good 
 results.

210 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Chloroform. 
 
 Chloroform, by inhalation, acts as an anaesthetic. 
 From the accidents which have occurred from its use, 
 pure Sulphuric Ether, or one part Chloroform and two 
 parts Ether, is preferable for the purpose of procuring in- 
 sensibility, thereby arresting the powers of the brain to 
 receive impressions. By influencing the spinal cord, it 
 arrests respiration. It has been used successfully, to stop 
 convulsions. In biliary calculus, it is used as a prophy- 
 lactic. For this purpose it is used in doses of gtt. xx, 
 three times a day. In convulsions, the dose is from gtt. 
 x,to f 3j. 
 
 C aulophy Hum. 
 
 [Blue Cohosh.] 
 
 The Caulophyllum, or Blue Cohosh, is usually employ- 
 ed in the form of a decoction. Dose, two to four ounces, 
 three or four times a day, or a Tincture of the dry root 
 may be made : 3 viii, to Alcohol 76°, Oj. 
 
 It is principally used as an emmenagogue, parturient, 
 and anti-spasmodic. It stimulates normal contraction, 
 both before and after delivery. It also possesses diuretic, 
 diaphoretic and anthelmintic properties. It is useful in 
 hiccough, epilepsy, rheumatism, colic. It is usedby Eclec- 
 tics in chronic uterine diseases. 
 
 Colchicum. 
 
 The common name for this Meadow Saffron. The bulbs 
 and seeds are the parts used. 
 
 It is a sedative, cathartic, diuretic and emetic. It is 
 largely used in palpitation of the heart. 
 
 The Tincture is administered in cases of colic, gtt, xx, to 
 aqua 3iv. A teaspoonful every two hours. Many physi- 
 cians administer it in larger doses, from gtt. xx, to 3j. 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 211 
 
 Digitalis. 
 
 [Fox Glove.] 
 
 The Tincture is prepared from the recent dried leaves, 
 in the proportion of §viii, to Alcohol 76°, Oj. 
 
 Digitalis, in over-doses, occasions vomiting, purging, 
 vertigo, convulsions, and death. It is often employed as a 
 sedative. It is a powerful cardiac tonic, and therefore 
 used as a heart corrective, as in palpitations, etc. It 
 sometimes acts well as a cure in convulsions, in pertus- 
 sis and spasmodic asthma. Care must be taken of its 
 cumulative effects. 
 
 Carbolic Acid. 
 
 This is a hydrated oxide of Phenyl, produced in the 
 manufacture of coal gas. It has the taste and smell of 
 Creosote. 
 
 It is used in surgery to arrest the formation of pus. It 
 is prepared for dispensing, thus : 
 
 fy. — Glycerine, g xvi. 
 
 Carbolic Acid Crystals, g iv. 
 Mix. 
 
 It is a valuable medicine where the tongue is broad 
 and moist, and breath fetid. Administered in small 
 doses, it will be found useful in bilious and typhoid fever, 
 cynanche, pneumonia, diarrhea, dysentery, and disease 
 of the urinary organs, whether the disease is acute or 
 chronic. The following is a reliable formula : 
 
 #. — Solution of Carbolic Acid in Glycerine, gtt. x to 
 gtt. xxx. 
 
 In putrid sore throat, in gr. ij. to gr. x, in aqua 3 j. 
 
212 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Chloral Hydrate. 
 
 This drug is prepared from the action of Chlorine on 
 Alcohol. 
 
 It relieves pain, and is useful in nervous disorders, and 
 in delerium tremens. It is a hypnotic, and may be em- 
 ployed where there is an enfeebled condition of the brain. 
 It is very greatly superior to opium and almost every 
 other drug, in the character of its sleep-producing action. 
 It is dangerous to give large doses, that is to say, more 
 than about thirty grains, but repeat if necessary. 
 
 Dr. Eeynolds says: "As a remedy for pain, Chloral 
 holds a very varying place in the estimation of medical 
 men, some rating it highly, and others thinking it almost 
 worthless. In melancholia, its action . as a hypnotic ap- 
 pears to be powerfully and remarkably sure. We may 
 also state that in aged persons, who find it difficult to 
 sleep for any length of time continuously, the use of Chloral 
 appears to answer excellently well. Dose, gr. x to 5 j, in 
 syrup. 
 
 Borax. 
 
 This is used as an anti-septic dressing in wounds, the 
 strength being from 3 j to 3 iv, in one pint of wetter. 
 Given internally, in apthous exudations, it is administered 
 in small quantities, from grs. j to v, in water. In neph- 
 ritic and calculous complaints, depending on an excess 
 of uric acid, it is sometimes combined with Cream of 
 Tartar. Dose for an adult, grs. xx, to grs. xl. A 
 good formula for application to diseased mucous mem- 
 branes, especially the nose, may be written thus : 
 P. — Saturated Solution of Borax, 3 ij. 
 Oil Sweet Almonds, 3 ij. 
 
 Mix ; apply several times a day. 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 213 
 
 Bismuth. 
 
 The Eclectic physician prescribes Sub-nitrate of Bis- 
 muth in two forms : First, the Liquor of Bismuth (see 
 Solution of Citrate of Bismuth), and in form of powder. 
 Of the powder, give two or four grains, of the solution gtt. 
 x, to 3 j. It is used as an anti-spasmodic, absorbent, and 
 sedative. The Citrate of Bismuth is especially useful in 
 chronic gastro-intestinal irritation, or dyspepsia with 
 diarrhea. The dose is a teaspoonful four times a day. 
 
 Ergot. 
 
 [Spurred Rye.] 
 
 The Tincture of Ergot is the form of which it is gener- 
 ally used, and may be prepared in the usual way, with 
 Alcohol of 76 per cent. Ergot is stimulant, acting on the 
 muscular system of the uterus. 
 
 In tedious labors, where the os is dilated, and the soft 
 parts dilatable, and the pains grow weaker, the patient 
 exhausted, give Ergot. It is useless in very small doses, 
 as some recommend. Many physicians administer it in 
 3 ss doses, as the case may require. It is often used in 
 decoction, 3 j of it, bruised, to j§ iv boiling water ; boil ten 
 minutes, strain and sweeten. It is bad practice to use 
 Ergot during parturition before the membranes are rup- 
 tured. In uterine hemorrhage, administer freely. 
 
 Potassa. 
 
 [Potash.] 
 
 The officinal Liquor Potassa is prescribed in doses of 
 from one to ten drops, in a glass of water. One of the 
 strongest indications for its use is in difficult urination. 
 Deposits of uric acid are sometimes removed by the 
 administration of small quantities of this remedy, and 
 
214 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 the irritative dyspepsia so frequently associated with it 
 is also relieved. It may also be used in some cases of 
 acne of the face, and in some cases of scrofula, the 
 patient being well nourished. 
 
 Acetate of Potassa. 
 
 The Acetate of Potassa is mildly cathartic and diuretic. 
 It has been found useful in febrile diseases, dropsies, 
 icterus and viceral obstructions. Dr. Golding Bird says 
 that, ten days' or two weeks' use of Acetate of Potassa 
 will cure ague, when anti-periodic s have wholly failed. 
 Dose, Bj, as diuretic ; o ij, to Z iij, as cathartic. It should 
 be used largely diluted. 
 
 Nitric Acid. 
 
 The strong Acid is seldom used for any other than 
 pharmaceutical purposes; in the form of vapor it is 
 extracted from Nitre, 3 iv, and Sulphuric Acid, 3 iv, in a 
 saucer placed in a pipkin of hot sand for the purpose of 
 fumigation. It is incompatible with the Spirits of Lav- 
 ender and strong tinctures, essential oils and metallic 
 oxides. It is useful in irritable or enfeebled condition of 
 the stomach, in impaired nutrition, etc. Eclectics say 
 they do not use Nitric Acid for its acid properties, but for 
 its nitrogen. It is given in chronic ague, malarial head- 
 ache, etc. This Acid, used in its diluted form, is found 
 beneficial in fevers of a typhoid form, in chronic affections 
 of the liver, in dyspepsia, and externally, in the cure of 
 old, ulcerated sores. For internal use :

 Nitrate of Soda. 
 
 Pure Nitrate of Soda is a white salt, and from the cubic 
 form of its crystals, is often called nitre. It is soluble 
 in three times its weight of cold water, giving a clear 
 solution. When the pulse is full, the surface flushed, 
 slightly dusky or purplish; eyes injected, though dry; 
 an increased perspiration, though the skin remain hot, 
 Nitrate of Soda is indicated. The dose of Nitrate of 
 Soda will range from Z] to 3 j, in the twenty-four hours. 
 It must be largely diluted with water. 
 
 Hypophosphite Soda. 
 
 Hypophosphite of Soda is looked upon as destructive 
 to microscopic fungi, and as a useful agent in preventing 
 fermentation. The writer has found it very useful in 
 diphtheria. The Soda may be combined with Chlorate of 
 Potash and Iron.

 Oxide Zinc. 
 
 This is an excellent remedy in Chorea and other spas- 
 modic affections. Eclectics generally prescribe this drug- 
 in very small quantities, in doses ranging from one-eighth 
 of a grain to one grain. It may be used in chronic gas- 
 tritis, nervous dyspepsia ; externally, in sore nipples, exco- 
 riation, etc. In infantile chafing, apply dry and freely. 
 
216 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 
 
 Viburnum Prunifolium. 
 
 [Black Haw.] 
 
 Prepare a Tincture from the recent bark of the root 
 I viii to Alcohol 50° Oj. It is claimed in the Southern 
 States that the Viburnum is a specific against abortion. 
 In this particular it is, no doubt, a valuable drug. The 
 infusion is often used. The dose would be from g j to § ij. 
 Dose of Tinct. gtt. v to gtt. xx. 
 
 Stillingia Sylvatica. 
 
 [Queen's Root.] 
 
 Prepare a Tincture from the recent dried root 3 viii to 
 Alcohol 98° Oj. Dose, from gtt. j to gtt. x. 
 
 Stillingia is emetic, cathartic, alterative. It is useful 
 in secondary syphilis, scrofula, etc. 
 
 Stillingia exerts a specific influence upon the mucous 
 membrane of the throat, larynx and bronchi, relieving 
 irritation and favoring nutrition. Its use is very benefi- 
 cial in chronic laryngitis, speedily relieving the irritation 
 and cough. 
 
 Stramonium. 
 
 [Jamestown Weed.] 
 
 Prepare the Tincture from the fresh leaves and flower- 
 ing tops, when the odor of the plant is strongest, gtt. v to 
 gtt. x, in Aqua 3 iv. Dose, teaspoonful as necessary. 
 
 It is useful in delirum tremens, violent mania, epilepsy 
 and asthma, as in inhalation. It is an excellent remedy 
 in chronic diseases of the skin. 
 
SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 217 
 
 Salicylic Acid. 
 
 This drug has become widely known as a specific in 
 certain forms of rheumatism. Physicians frequently 
 combine the Acid with Soda, forming a Salicylate of Soda. 
 The prescription may be written : 
 
 #.— Salicylic Acid, Zj. 
 
 Bi- Carbonate of Soda, 3ij. 
 
 Aqua, E iv. 
 
 Mix. 
 Dose, a teaspoonful every two hours. 
 
 Iodine. 
 
 Iodine, in all its forms, stimulates excretion. We have 
 no reason to believe that it stimulates blood-making or 
 nutrition, other than as it facilitates the removal of worn- 
 out tissues. 
 
 Iodide of Potassium is its most active form as a resol- 
 vent. There is a difference of opinion with regard to the 
 proper dose. Some think it gives the best results in doses 
 of one to five grains — (others give it in doses of twenty 
 to forty grains) — three or four times a day. 
 
 The indication for this salt is, a broad, pallid, leaden- 
 colored tongue, rather full ; whilst a red and contracted 
 tongue contra-indicates its use. 
 
 In quite small doses, Iodine stimulates the sexual 
 organs, and increases their power. For this purpose, it 
 may be used in the proportion of :

 Sanguinaria Canadensis* 
 
 LBlood Boot] 
 
 This is an acrid emetic, stimulant, narcotic, diaphoretic 
 and alterative. It is principally used in chronic catarrh, 
 bronchial affections and pertussis, combined with Anti- 
 mony or Ipecac, it is a useful expectorant. 
 
 Dose, as emetic, from grs. x to grs. xx. The Tincture 
 is prepared from the recent dried root E yiii to Alcohol 
 76° Oj. Dose, from one to five drops. 
 
 Ipecacuanha. 
 
 [Ipecac] 
 Prepare a Tincture from the recent root, Iviij. to Alco- 
 hol, 98°, Oj. Dose, from the fraction of a drop, to five 
 drops. 
 
 Ipecac exerts a specific influence upon the mucous mem- 
 branes, relieving irritation, and arresting the inflammatory 
 process. It is employed as a specific in most cases of 
 cholera infantum. It allays irritation of the stomach, 
 gradually checks the frequency of discharges from the bow- 
 els, and restores tone and functional activity. 
 
 It is employed , with marked advantage, in the treat- 
 ment of infantile pneumonia, associated with aconite and 
 veratrum. 
 
 It is usually prescribed in the following proportions :

 Juglans Cinerea. 
 
 [Butternut.] 
 
 In small closes, the Juglans exerts a marked influence 
 upon the skin, and may be used in both acute and chronic 
 skin diseases. It also allays irritation of the mucous 
 membranes, is useful in some cases of dyspepsia, and is a 
 valuable laxative and cathartic, being one of the few 
 cathartics that may be employed to overcome obstinate 
 constipation. 
 
 Prepare a Tincture, as follows. Fresh inner bark of the 
 Juglans gviii. to Alcohol, 76° Oj. Dose, from one to five 
 drops. 
 
 Where its decided effects as a cathartic are required, 
 the solid extract may be employed. 
 
 Jimiperizs Sabina. 
 
 [Savin.] 
 
 Savin is a stimulant. It may be employed in menor- 
 rhagia, and in atonic leucorrhcea, with advantage. It is 
 also used as a stimulant in vesical catarrh, and in dis- 
 eases of the urethra. It is useful in some cases of amen- 
 orrhcea, as a stimulant, but never in those cases present- 
 ing excitement of the circulation. 
 
 Prepare a Tincture, from the herb, in the proportion of 
 iviij. to Alcohol, 76 Oj. Dose, from one to five drops. 
 
 Ijactuca Virosa. 
 
 [Lettuce.] 
 
 Lettuce is a valuable sedative, giving rest to the nerve 
 centers. It will sometimes produce sleep, in small doses, 
 when the large will do no good. It is recommended in 
 sleeplessness of children, and hysteria of women. 
 
 Prepare a Tincture from Lactucarium, 5 iv. to Alcohol, 
 90° Oj. Dose, from a drop, to ten drops, given in water, 
 every hour, while needed. 
 
CHAPTER Yin. 
 
 INFUSIONS. 
 
 [U. S. P.] 
 
 This class of medicinal preparations is one of the least 
 elegant in use, and is mainly confined, in the United 
 States, to domestic practice. Even when prescribed by 
 physicians, the Infusions are generally made by the 
 nurse or attendant upon the sick, rather than by the 
 pharmaceutist. The infusions of Cinchona Bark, Infu- 
 sion of Digitalis, Compound Infusion of Gentian, and 
 Compound Infusion of Roses, form the chief exceptions 
 to this. 
 
 The process of percolation is applied with great advan- 
 tage to some of these preparations, and in a majority of 
 cases, the substitution of cold water for hot, and of per- 
 colation for maceration or digestion, is found to produce 
 a more elegant and equally efficient Infusion, and one 
 which, from containing less coloring matter, fecula, res- 
 inous and other inert principles, keeps better, and is more 
 acceptable to the stomach. 
 
 When an Infusion is intended as an emetic draught, 
 or to promote the operation of emetics, or as a diapho- 
 retic, it is usually given while hot, and, of course, to all 
 such cases the above remark does not apply. Nor is it 
 equally applicable to the demulcent Infusions of Flax- 
 seed and Buchu, although the former may be made very 
 well with cold water, and is then less demulcent only in 
 its character. 
 
 The general dose of Infusion is f § ij, or a wine-glass 
 full, frequently repeated. This is to be varied in the case 
 of Infusion of Senna, Compound Infusion of Flaxseed, 
 and others, in which a much larger quantity may be 
 taken at a draught. 
 
 There are two of the officinal Infusions which it would 
 be improper to give in the above general dose ; these are 
 Infusion of Digitalis and Infusion of Capsicum, the doses 
 of which are specially stated in the Syllabus.

CHAPTER IX. 
 
 EMULSIONS. 
 
 There is, perhaps, no duty required of a druggist that 
 is more troublesome and vexatious than operations under 
 this head. The pharmaceutists of every nation have con- 
 sidered the management or skillful operation required to 
 produce a perfect emulsion, as denoting a high standard of 
 intellectual endowment, and, simple as this branch of 
 the practical druggist's work may at first sight appear to 
 the uninitiated, yet it embraces considerable trouble to the 
 best manipulator. The trouble, however, "is principally 
 caused by the way physicians prescribe an emulsion — a 
 composition of oil, gum and syrup, with so small a quan- 
 tity of water that no emulsion can be made. It is true, 
 the ingredients can be mixed, but cannot be combined. 
 In writing a formula for an oil emulsion, care should be 
 used to prescribe ingredients in such proportions that a 
 skillful pharmacist can put up a decent preparation. On 
 the other hand, it is the duty of the druggist to study this 
 branch of the business in order to know the conditions 
 under which to make a good emulsion of oil or balsam. 
 
EMULSIONS. 227 
 
 HOW TO MAKE AN EMULSION. 
 
 General Rule. 
 
 Two modes of making emulsions are in use. One 
 method consists in making a thick mucilage, to which is 
 added, in small portions, oil and water, until all is formed 
 into a perfect emulsion, which then can be diluted with 
 water without the oil being separated. 
 
 The other method consists in mixing the oil with the 
 powdered gum, in certain fixed proportions, and then add- 
 ing a certain quantity of water, in proportion to the oil 
 and gum used. 
 
 The following, by A. F. W. Neynaber, in the Druggists' 
 Circular, may be found useful : 
 
 Parts by Weight. 
 
 Oil. Powdered Gum Arabic. Water. 
 
 1 1 li 
 
 2 12 
 
 3 1 2J 
 
 If the oil is mixed with the gum, in a shallow porcelain 
 mortar, and then the water be added in any of the above 
 mentioned proportions, the emulsion will be formed. 
 The ingredients should be weighed very accurately. 
 When the emulsion is formed, the stirring should be con- 
 tinued for a few minutes, and water be added gradually. 
 The first method requires more skill and proper judgment 
 of the Pharmaceutist ; while the operation, by the second, 
 can be performed by almost anyone, if he only weighs out 
 the ingredients in the proper way.

 is all dissolved, add this mixture to the emulsion of 
 Copaiba in the other mortar, and mix the two well before 
 any water is added. Then use 2 J ounces of Water to dilute 
 the emulsion afterwards, and wash out the mortars, so as 
 to brirg all their contents into the prescription vial.

 MEDICATED WINES, 
 
 In making these, the best quality of Sherry or White 
 Wine should be used, and where it is deficient in body, 
 from one half to one ounce of Alcohol should be added to 
 each pint of the Wine used. 
 
 Where a medicated wine is to contain Iron, the wine 
 used should first be detannated by mixing with it one or 
 two ounces of warm boiled milk, to each gallon of wine ; 
 shake well, let stand several hours, then filter. This will 
 prevent the Medicated Wine from becoming dark or 
 inky, when the Iron is added.

CHAPTER XI. 
 
 PILLS. 
 
 Pill making forms an important branch of Pharmacy, 
 and there is, perhaps, nothing (except it be emulsions), 
 which gives the young druggist so much trouble, or which 
 is as poorly performed. The medicines adapted to 
 pilular form are, most of the powders, gum-reisns, oleo- 
 resins, solid extracts, oils, in small proportions, etc. 
 
 It is of prime importance, that the ingredients entering 
 into a pill mass be evenly and thoroughly mixed, this is 
 best performed by means of trituration in a shallow 
 mortar. All crystalized salts and drugs that can be 
 powdered, should first be rubbed fine, before anything 
 else is added. Solid extracts, (if not in powder), should 
 be softened with the least possible quantity of water or 
 Alcohol, before entering into the mass. 
 
 Powerful drugs, such as Arsenic, Morphia, Strychnia, 
 etc., should be mixed with a portion of the other powders 
 first, if any are used, if not, then with a very little Sugar, 
 or, Sulph. Morphia and Sulph. JStrychnia can first be 
 dissolved with a drop or two of Arom. Sulph. Acid, in the 
 mortar. 
 
 After the prescribed drags are thoroughly mixed, they 
 will need an Excipicnt to form the mass. Simple Syrup 
 made heavy answers the purpose very well. Mucilage of 
 
PILLS. 241 
 
 Acacia, Glycerine, Glucose and Honey are also used. 
 There is an objection to the mucilage, in that, by harden- 
 ing, it renders the pills less soluble. 
 
 A good Excipient can be made by taking Powd. Starch, 
 4 drachms, Glycerine, 3 ounces, and heating together, by 
 means of a water bath, until a gelatinous mass if formed. 
 
 Excipients should be added to the pill-mass cautiously, 
 or it will become too soft. If this occurs, a Dryer will be 
 needed. Powd. Acacia, Powd. Starch, Powd. Liquorice, 
 etc., all answer this purpose. 
 
 The mass, being of a proper consistency, is next rolled 
 out on the pill machine or a graduated tile, to the proper 
 length, and divided, equally, into the number of pills re- 
 quired, care being taken that they are smoothly finished 
 when cut and rolled, and, afterwards, carefully handled 
 until hard enough to retain their shape. 
 
 For dusting pills, to prevent their sticking during the 
 process of rolling, and afterwards, use any of the Dryers 
 previously mentioned. 
 
 For Quinine, Morphine, and other white substances, 
 always use Acacia, Arrowroot, or Starch, for dusting, 
 leaving a white coating. 
 
 In the process of pill making there are many minor 
 points to be taken advantage of, which can only be learned 
 by actual experience : such as the soluble, cohesive, and 
 drying properties of different substances, the proper 
 amount of excipient to be used for each, etc. 
 
 The young druggist will do well to note these points in 
 every day experience, as it is by observation and prac- 
 tice alone that he will become proficient in the art. It 
 has become a custom, with many physicians, to direct 
 pills to be inserted in capsules, thereby preventing the 
 patient from tasting bitter and nauseous substances. 
 -16 
 
242 pills. 
 
 The druggist should always be supplied with empty 
 capsules of different sizes, and after the pill mass is 
 properly divided, instead of making the pills spherical, 
 roll them a little oblong ; they are then easily and quickly 
 inserted in capsules. The process of coating pills with 
 gelatine or sugar, might be fully explained here, but it 
 has been found that while it can be successfully done 
 on a small scale, still, it rarely pays in the prescription 
 department, for the reason that it takes considerable 
 time ; the patient is frequently impatient, and no part of the 
 work, in this department, should be performed in a hurry. 
 Where there is considerable demand for any particular 
 pill, it is better for the druggist to procure a good pill- 
 coating apparatus, or else have his formulas made up, to 
 order, by some reliable manufacturer. 
 
 Without further discussion of the subject, we proceed to 
 furnish a number of the most important formulas for

CHAPTEK XII. 
 
 MEDICATED SYKUPS. 
 
 A few practical hints in regard to making Medicated 
 Syrups, may prove acceptable. Many of them are now 
 made with Fluid Extracts. When such is the case, add 
 the Fluid Extract to the Water, or whatever menstruum 
 may be used, then filter clear ; in the filtrate dissolve the 
 Sugar, either by agitation or by means of a water bath, 
 and strain. A nice clear Syrup is the result. 
 
 In making Syrup of Ipecac or Syrup of Senega, it is a 
 good plan to heat the Simple Syrup, before adding the 
 Fluid Extract, and to clarify with a little Isinglass before 
 the Medicated Syrup is strained. 
 
 The tendency of Syrups to fermentation is a source of 
 great annoyance. They should be properly made, with 
 sufficient Sugar to form a good body, and then kept in as 
 cool a place as possible. 
 
 The process of fermentation can be prevented, or 
 greatly retarded, by the addition of from one to two 
 drachms of Sulphite of Lime to each gallon of Syrup. 
 
 Fermented, or "changed," Syrups should never be dis- 
 pensed.

 ceases, and the solution has acquired a green color and 
 lost the smell of Iodine. Then having introduced a pint 
 of Syrup into a graduated bottle, heat it, by means of a 
 water-bath, to 212°, and through a small funnel inserted 
 in the mouth of the bottle, filter into it the solution 
 already prepared. When this has passed, close the bot- 
 tle, shake thoroughly, and when the liquid has cooled, 
 add sufficient syrup to make the whole measure twenty 
 fluid ounces. Lastly, again shake the bottle and transfer 
 the contents to two-ounce vials, which must be well 
 stopped and protected from the light.

CHAPTEE XVI. 
 
 MALT PEEPAEATIONS. 
 
 We give below a condensed manner of making Extract 
 of Malt ; but for the use of those who use it in small 
 quantities, will say, it can be bought of large manu- 
 facturers at about $3.00 a gallon. 
 
 The Barley or other grain is first put into a vat, with 
 just enough water to cover it, added ; and left in this con- 
 dition for from twenty-four to forty hours ; it will nearly 
 absorb the water in this time. The second step is to 
 drain off the superfluous water, and the grain is thrown 
 in a heap upon the floor ; it is allowed to so remain for 
 a number of hours, generally twenty-four, or until partial 
 germination takes place, and is then spread thickly upon 
 the floor and turned often, when the germination has 
 proceeded as far as required, it is then dried in a kiln, 
 being slowly heated to 150° F. The above is the ordinary 
 manner of making malt. To make the Extract, take any 
 amount of the malt ground ; dampen with water and pack 
 in Water Bath Percolator, which maintain at about 170° 
 F. Pass water through till it shows no strength or 
 sweetness. Take the percolate and evaporate in water 
 bath till it is as thick as needed. If the Extract is wanted 
 with Hops, proceed as before, with the addition of one

 pound of Hops to each thirty pounds of Malt used, or 
 the proportions may be varied. Maltine is made of 
 Malted Barley, "Wheat and Oats in the same manner ; is 
 nearly identical with Malt and can be used wherever the 
 latter is mentioned, if so desired.

CHAPTEE XVIII. 
 
 ESSENCES. 
 
 It is needless to say anything in the way of apology for 
 this chapter, as essences enter so largely into the soda 
 fountain and confectionary business, that the absolute 
 need of our knowing how to manufacture our own essen- 
 ces becomes a necessity. 
 
 In making all Essences, where an Essential Oil is used, 
 the following method will produce the best results. 
 
 First the Oils must be thoroughly dissolved in the 
 Cologne Spirit, or Alcohol ; (the former to be much pre- 
 ferd), then the mixture is to be rubbed in a mortar, with 
 Carbonate of Magnesia, — some prefer to add a small quanti- 
 ty of Sugar — then add the Water, if any is used, and tri- 
 turate well together. Next, fiber through paper, until 
 clear. In other words, finish just as you would in mak- 
 ing Medicated Waters. 
 
 Color carefully, until the desired shade is reached. 
 
 The quantity of Oils used, can be increased, or dimin- 
 ished, to produce essences of any desired grade.

 There are many ways of making a simple syrup, and 
 enough formulae abound in the books to obviate the 
 necessity of writing one in this place, but the fact is, that, 
 instead of being simple, they are oftener compound and 
 complex, too. Here is something really good, and may 
 be denominated an "Easy Method" :

 [From Fruit.] 
 
 Use Strawberries of a good flavor. Do not forget that 
 if the berries possess no ■ flavor, you can not expect to 
 obtain a Syrup of good flavor. Avoid, also, rotten ber- 
 ries, because unless you do, you may be sure to find as 
 flavor the smell of the rotten berries in your Syrup. 
 Mash the fruit in a barrel, or other suitable vessel, by 
 means of a pounder, and leave the pulp from 12 to 24 
 hours, at a temperature between 70° and 80° ; stir occa- 
 sionally ; press ; set the juice aside for one night ; add, for 
 every pound avoirdupois of juice, one ounce avoirdupois 
 of Cologne Spirits or Deodorized Alcohol ; mix, and set 
 aside for another night, and filter through paper. 
 
 For one pound of the flavored juice take one pound of 
 'A' Sugar and heat to the boiling point, taking care to 
 remove from the fire or turn off the steam as soon as the

 PERFUMERY. 
 
 Before entering upon our work of formulae for the 
 manufacture of Perfumery, it will be well to bear in 
 mind the following directions as to the best methods of 
 making extracts from Flower Pomades : 
 
 First — Pure Cologne Spirits, J gallon. 
 
 Flower Pomade, No. 24, 4 pounds. 
 
 (Flower Pomade is known to the trade as Triple 
 Pomade.) 
 
 Second — Place the Spirits in a well stopped bottle, 
 together with the Pomade cut in small pieces, and place 
 the bottle in a water-bath, and apply gentle heat, just 
 sufficient to melt the Pomade, and stir with a wooden 
 spatula, or shake well together. By this method the 
 fatty matter will solidify and exhibit a granulated appear- 
 ance, having been thoroughly permeated by the spirits. 
 
 Third — Let the mass stand for five days, but shake 
 occasionally. 
 
 Fourth — Now drain or filter off the liquid extract into 
 another bottle, but if it fall short of one -half gaUon, pour 
 on a sufficiency of Alcohol to make up the measure. This 
 is called the First Wash, or Virgin. 
 
 Fifth — By subsequent and similar treatment a second 
 and even a third quantity of extract may be made, which, 
 
PEBFUMERY. 365 
 
 although much weaker, will be found suitable for cheap 
 perfumes. The Pomade left will then make an excellent 
 Hair Pomade when bottled. 
 
 Herewith I append several formulae for Extracts, which 
 will be required in our formulae Avhich follow. Others 
 can be made in a similar manner, by using Gums and 
 Essential Oils.

 The recipes of these perfumes are the most noted that, 
 at present, are being manufactured. The directions for 
 making the Colognes are, to cut the Oils in about nine- 
 tenths of Spirits, and after standing twenty-four hours 
 add the Water, and immediately add the remainder of 
 the Spirits. The Water should always be lukewarm 
 when put in. Always filter through filter paper.

CHAPTEK XXIII. 
 
 HAIR DYES AND TONICS. 
 
 It could be easily shown that the practice of dyeing the 
 hair, by way of personal adornment, is very ancient. It 
 is universally followed among the upper, as well as the 
 lower, classes in every country in Asia, and the practice 
 is equally prevalent among the barbarous and civilized 
 communities. In Egypt the practice is to blacken the 
 edge of the eye-lids, both above and below, and for this 
 purpose they use a powder called Kohol. 
 
 The practice of dyeing the hair, painting the face, etc., 
 by way of personal adornment, is often alluded to in the 
 Bible, and materials for that purpose constitute, at the 
 present time, the leading source of profit among the 
 Armenians. 
 
 It becomes our duty, while writing a book of this kind. 
 
 to devote a chapter to Hair Dyes and Tonics ; still, at 
 
 the same time, it is our duty to say that, as a rule, all 
 
 hair dyQs ought to be avoided ; as personal beauty is often 
 
 spoiled by the inharmonious application of colors.

 of the Mordant making the hair black, it will impart a 
 yellow hue. When the Mordant is good, it has a very 
 disagreeable odor ; and although this is the quickest and 
 best dye, its unpleasant smell has given rise to the "In 
 odorous Dye." Here it is :

 Dissolve the Nitrate of Silver, in the above formula ; 
 then add Liquid Ammonia by degrees until the mixture 
 becomes cloudy from the precipitate of the Oxide of 
 Silver, continuing to add Ammonia in small proportions 
 until the fluid again becomes clear from the Oxide of 
 Silver being re-dissolved. 
 
 Pour half a pint of boiling Kose Water upon three 
 ounces of powdered Nutgalls ; when cold, strain and bot- 
 tle. This forms the Mordant, and is used in the same 
 way as the first-named dye, like the Sulphuret Mordant.

CHAPTEK XXIV. 
 
 POMADES, 
 
 The use of Ointments, as helps to the adornment of 
 the person, is often alluded to in the Sacred Scriptures. 
 Thus we have mention made of them in Proverbs 27: 9, 
 and again, in Ecclesiastes 9: 8, and I. Chronicles 9: 30. 
 
 A casual observer would say that it is a barbarous cus- 
 tom to oil the hair ; but if he will only reflect a moment, 
 he will find that the oil glands on the scalps of many 
 persons possess the power of secretion in so slight a 
 degree that it becomes necessary to aid Nature in her 
 work by means of Art — by means of Ointments and Oils. 
 
 You may see many persons whose hair has a peculiar 
 dryness, actually demanding an application of artificial 
 oil ; and to neglect this would entail annoyance and an 
 unsightly appearance. When the oil glands supply a 
 sufficiency of fluid, the hair is said to be moist and soft — 
 a consummation devoutly to be wished by men and 
 women of every rank and condition in life, who make any 
 show towards personal adornment. 
 
 The name of "Pomade" and "Pomatum" is derived 
 from "Pomum" — an apple — because it was formerly 
 made by immersing over-ripe apples in grease. If an 
 apple be stuck all over with spice, such as cloves, then 
 exposed to the air for a few days, and afterwards macer- 
 
416 POMADES. 
 
 ated in purified melted lard, or any other fatty matter, 
 the grease will become perfumed. Eepeating the oper a 
 tion with the same grease several times produces real 
 Pomatum. 
 
 In making Pomades, the following directions ought to 
 be strictly followed if you wish to make a really nice 
 article. You need not follow the following remarks if 
 you simply want a common article of Pomatum. 
 
 Pomades ought to be made from inodorous lard. 
 
 Melt your lard in a hot water bath (boiling) ; take off 
 the scum, after previously adding two ounces of pow- 
 dered alum and two ounces of table salt. When the 
 grease appears clear, let it grow cool. 
 
 The lard is now to be washed. This is done a small 
 quantity at a time. Take about a pound on a slate slab, 
 and let the slab slope sufficiently, so that a good supply 
 of water may trickle over it and run off at the same time. 
 Keep the grease well stirred. In this way the water will 
 remove any trace of the alum and salt. 
 
 Finally, the grease, when the whole is washed, is re- 
 melted, the heat being maintained enough to drive off 
 any adhering water. When cold, it is finished. 
 
 This may seem troublesome, but you will find it pays, 
 as the lard, when perfectly inodorous, will keep better 
 and take less perfume of flowers.

 Gum Benzoin, 2 ' f 
 
 Explanation. — By Leaf Lard is meant rendered Lard, 
 made from the leaf alone, with no other fat with it. If 
 the lard is nicely rendered — that is, if there is no grain 
 left and it does not appear to be sandy, it is ready for use ; 
 if sandy, it must be melted to the consistency of oil, and 
 stirred constantly until cold. When the lard is ready, it 
 must be warmed over the water bath until it can be stir- 
 red. While warming the Lard, put the Benzoin in eight 
 ounces of Alcohol, and warm in a water bath until the 
 Gum is dissolved ; then remove the Lard from the water 
 bath, and add the Benzoin slowly. This mixture must 
 stand for two weeks ; then melt to the consistency of oil ; 
 then allow it to cool, and the Benzoin will settle to the 
 bottom, and the Lard will retain all the flavor of the 
 Benzoin. Always melt over the water bath.

 may burn. Watch the oil till you find its color suits you ; 
 then put out the fire and strain through a sieve into the 
 vessel in which it is to be kept. Stir until it is cold 
 enough to add the perfume, which must be thoroughly 
 mixed, and then cover till used. Should you at any time 
 desire to put it into bottles, warm the pomade by means

CHAPTEE XXVI. 
 
 TOOTH POWDEKS AND MOUTH WASHES. 
 
 There is scarcely a subject of a personal character so 
 sadly neglected and so little understood, by the people in 
 general, as the care of the teeth. 
 
 In view of this fact, in 1868 the Dental Society of 
 Philadelphia offered a prize for the best essay on the sub- 
 ject, the same to be published for the benefit of the pub- 
 lic. The prize was awarded for the following rules : 
 
 First. Cleanse your teeth once, or oftener, every day. 
 Rinse the mouth after eating. Cleansing the teeth con- 
 sists in removing every particle of foreign matter from 
 around the teeth and gums. 
 
 Second. To cleanse, use well-made brushes, soft quill 
 or wood toothpicks, an antacid styptic tooth wash, and 
 precipitated chalk. If these means fail, apply to a reg- 
 ular dentist. 
 
 Third. Avoid eating hot food. Thoroughly masticate 
 the food, and well salivate it before swallowing. 
 
 Fourth. Parents ought to carefully attend to the child's 
 second dentition. Prevail upon your children to visit, at 
 frequent intervals, a careful and skillful operator. 
 
 Fifth. Pvemember that four of the permanent double 
 teeth come in at the age of six years. They are very 
 
TOOTH POWDERS AND MOUTH WASHES. 
 
 435 
 
 liable to decay early, are very large, and should never be 
 allowed to require extracting. 
 
 Sixth. Never allow any one to extract a tooth or dis- 
 suade you from having them filled unless absolutely nec- 
 essary. 
 
 Seventh. Carelessness and procrastination are respon- 
 sible for a large proportion of teeth that are lost. 
 
 The teeth were never intended to take the place of 
 nut-crackers, nor to rival scissors in cutting thread. The 
 teeth must be taken care of, or your health will suffer. 
 
 Kemember, a clean tooth would not decay in a hundred

 COLD CREAM. 
 
 Method of Preparing Cold Cream, 
 
 As given by Piesse in his "Art of Perfumery. 
 
 Into a well-glazed, thick porcelain vessel, which should 
 be deep in preference to shallow, and capable of holding 
 twice the quantity of cream that is to be made, place the 
 wax and sperm; now put the jar into a bath of boiling 
 water. When these materials are melted, add the oil, 
 and again subject the whole to heat until the flecks of 
 wax and sperm are liquified; now remove the jar and 
 contents, and set it under a runner containing the rose 
 water (if you are making Kose Cream) ; the runner may 
 be a tin can, with a small tap at the bottom. A stirrer 
 must be provided, made of Lance Wood, flat and perfo- 
 rated with holes about the size of a ten cent piece, 
 resembling in form a large pallette knife. As soon as 
 the rose water is set running, the cream must be kept 
 agitated until the whole of the water has passed into it ; 
 now and then the flow of water must be stopped, and

 the cream which sets at the sides of the jar scraped down 
 and incorporated with that which remains fluid. 
 
 In winter time it is necessary to slightly warm the 
 rose water ; otherwise the cream sets before it is beaten 
 enough. 
 
 When the whole of the water has been incorporated, 
 the cream will be cool enough to pour into jars for sale ; 
 at that time the Otto of Eose is to be added. 
 
 The reason for the perfume being put in at the last 
 moment is obvious— the heat and subsequent agitation 
 would cause unnecessary loss by evaporation. 
 
 Cold Cream made in this way sets quite firmly in the 
 jars into which it is poured, and retains a "face" resem- 
 bling pure wax, although one-half is water, retained in 
 the interstices of the cream. 
 
 When the pots are well glazed, the Cream will keep 
 good one or two years. A good plan is to use stoppered 
 bottles.

 We have given a list of all the principal Sachets that 
 are now in use ; however, there are many others, but for 
 actual trade purposes there is no advantage in keeping a 
 greater variety than those named. There are several 
 other substances used in a similar way, and the most 
 popular of these is the 
 
 Peau D'Espagne, 
 
 This is a highly perfumed Leather, prepared thus : 
 Good, sound pieces of Wash Leather are to be steeped 
 in a mixture of Ottos, in which are dissolved some odor- 
 iferous gum-resins, Otto of Neroli, Otto of Lavender, 
 Otto of Bose, Sandal — of each half an ounce ; Verbena and 
 Bergamot, each, quarter of an ounce ; Otto of Cloves and 
 Cinnamon, of each two drachms ; all these in half a pint 
 of Spirit, in which was dissolved about four ounces of 
 Gum Benzoin. Leave the skin in this for a day or two, 
 then remove it and squeeze well. Let the skin dry by 
 exposure to the air. A paste must be made of one 
 -30 
 
466 SACHET POWDERS. 
 
 draclrm of Civet with one drachm of Grain Musk, and 
 enough Gum Acacia to make it spread well. The skin 
 must then be cut into pieces four inches square, and the 
 paste spread over them. Two pieces must be placed 
 together, having the Civet Plaster between them. They 
 must then be placed between sheets of paper, and 
 pressed. "When dry, place in rolls of silk or satin, and 
 finished to the taste. 
 
CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 TOILET SOAPS. 
 
 It is a common error to suppose that the perfumer is a 
 soap-maker. He is a melter, not a maker, and for his 
 use recognizes the following: Curd Soap, Oil Soap, 
 Marine Soap, Palm Soap, and several other kinds — the 
 process of manufacturing which, is laborious, and too 
 tedious to mention here, the better plan being to buy 
 them in quantities needed, for the purpose of re-melting. 
 
 Re-Melting Soap. 
 
 Before submitting for your guidance our several for- 
 mulas, it will be as well to commence by showing our 
 process of re-melting. 
 
 The process is exceedingly simple. The bar Soap is 
 first cut up into thin slabs, because it melts more easily. 
 The melting-pan is an iron vessel heated by steam or by 
 a water bath. Put your Soap into your pan by degrees ; 
 that is, the thin slabs of Soap are to be placed perpen- 
 dicularly all around the inside of the pan, introducing at 
 the same time a few ounces of water. The steam will 
 assist the melting. In a short time the Soap wiU run 
 
468 TOILET SOIPS. 
 
 down, when more slabs, in a similar manner, must be 
 introduced, and so continued, every half hour, until the 
 whole melting is finished. 
 
 As the Soap melts, in order to mix it and break up 
 lumps, it is, from time to time, crutched, that is, stirred 
 with an instrument in the form of a crutch or inverted 
 (X), curved to fit the curve of the pan. "When the Soap 
 is all melted, it is then colored, if so required, and then 
 the perfume is added, the whole being thoroughly incor- 
 porated with the crutch. The Soap is then turned into a 
 frame. The frame is a box made in sections, in order 
 that it can be taken to pieces, so that the Soap can be 
 cut up when cold. The sections or lifts are frequently 
 made of the width of the intended bar of Soap. Two or 
 three days after the Soap has been in the frame, it is 
 cool enough to cut into slabs of the required size. 
 
 With these requisite preliminaries, we will now intro- 
 duce a number of excellent formulas, which can be 
 relied on.

 Melt the Cocoanut and Tallow Oils over a warm bath, 
 then remove and stir until it is milk warm ; then mix

 Lye over the water bath, in one kettle, and the Oils in 
 another kettle over the water bath; let them heat for 
 about five minutes, but take care they do not boil ; then 
 pour the Alcohol and Lye into the Oils, and stir until 
 they are well mixed. The Soap will be done when there 
 is a scum over the top, or try if it will string down and 
 harden if a small portion is tried in a saucer. If it will 
 not harden, it is not done. Do not let it boil, or it will 
 spoil. When done, pour into a tin can and cool as rap- 
 idly as possibly. Mix Perfume in half a pint of Alcohol. 
 After the Soap has been put in the can to cool, add one 
 pound of Glycerine, and let cool.

 Evaporate to a proper consistence. The product is trans- 
 parent and yellow. If desired, a small amount of indigo 
 (powdered) will impart to it the green color which is 
 generally preferred, although it is in no way an improve- 
 ment.

 Scenting Soaps Cold. 
 
 When Soaps are scented hot they are apt to lose a 
 great deal of the perfume by evaporation. Hence the 
 adoption of the following : 
 
 After your Soap is cold and as yet unscented, take an 
 
TOILET SOAPS. 477 
 
 ordinary carpenter's plane and a good marble mortar, 
 with pestal. Place the carpenter's plane over the mortar, 
 but turn the plane upside down. Take a piece of Soap, 
 and push it across the plane, until it is reduced into fine 
 shavings. These, of course, fall into the mortar. When 
 you have cut a sufficiency, and slightly pounded the Soap 
 into a mass and in a proper condition, measure out your 
 oils and add them to the mass, thoroughly incorporating 
 by again pounding until the Soap is perfectly free from 
 streaks and of one uniform consistency. 
 
 For perfuming Soap in large quantities by the cold 
 process, it is more convenient to employ a mill of some 
 kind similar in construction to a chocolate mill, but any 
 kind will do that answers for making paste and crushing- 
 lumps. 
 
CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 WINES AND LIQUORS, 
 
 The custom of cheapening Wines and Liquors has be- 
 come quite general ; and so long as the practice is fol- 
 lowed, it is desirable to know just how it is accom- 
 plished. 
 
 The formulas given in this chapter are identical, or simi- 
 lar to those used by the principal rectifiers and dealers, 
 of the present day ; and show how Wines and Liquors 
 may be so modified as to meet almost any want, without 
 the addition of poisonous substances. 
 
 They also serve to show what the careless buyer is apt 
 to get, and to remind him that he should be cautious in 
 his purchases, as there is nothing in which he will be 
 more easily deceived than in the quality of Wines and 
 Liquors. 
 
 The basis of most of these formlas is either Pure Brandy, 
 Pure Spirits, (Whisky), or Neutral Spirits, (No. 1.)

 mentation proceeds far enough, rack off the Cider, into 
 another cask, and check the fermentation, by adding one- 
 half pound of Mustard Seed to each 40 gallons. If de- 
 sired, bottle and tie down ; adding a little Loaf Sugar to 
 each bottle. You will, by this means, obtain an excellent 
 article of Cider.

 WINE-MAKING. 
 
 Wine making is an art ; and while the process is too 
 complicated to admit of all the details being published 
 here, and although it may not come strictly within the 
 province of the Druggist, still, as he is frequently called 
 upon to furnish formulas for "good wines," and should 
 certainly desire that good wines only be used, it is 
 believed that a few hints may be of value, and not out of 
 place. 
 
 First — It is important that the grapes or other fruit 
 used should be gathered at the proper time, on dry, 
 pleasant days, and carefully handled to prevent bruising 
 and decay. 
 
 Second — After the fruit is crushed, the expressed juice 
 (must) should be placed only in clean, sweet vessels, and 
 closely watched during the process of fermentation. 
 
 Third — The practical production and proper regulation 
 of the vinous fermentation constitutes the real art of 
 wine-making, as it is here the greatest difficulty is met, 
 and the most careful attention and best judgment are 
 required to overcome it. Saccharine fermentation first 
 takes place, by which starch and gum are converted into 
 sugar. Next, alcoholic or vinous fermentation sets in, by 
 which the sugar is converted into alcohol. If the fer- 
 mentation proceeds too far, the alcohol is converted into 
 vinegar and the wine is spoiled. 
 
 Vinous fermentation proceeds most favorably at a tem- 
 perature of from 68° to 80° F. If possible, the must 
 should be kept at about that, for if the temperature rises 
 above 90° the fermentation takes place too fast. If the 
 weather is too cool for the sugar to be decomposed, fer- 
 mentation can be hastened by the addition of a small 
 
492 WINES AND LIQUORS. 
 
 quantity of good yeast. Eipe grapes, or other sweet 
 fruits, do not usually require this. 
 
 Fourth — After wine is sufficiently fermented, it may be 
 racked off into another cask and allowed to remain and 
 ripen; or, it may be bottled at pleasure. Have the 
 bottles clean and dry, cork well and wire down ; lay the 
 bottles on the side, in a dry cellar, kept at a temperature 
 of 48° to 60° F. It is best to let wine remain upon the 
 lees and ripen for several months before bottling. If 
 bottled too soon, the bottles will burst. 
 
 Fifth — If wine is murky it must be clarified by "fining," 
 which is done by adding one or two ounces of isinglass, 
 dissolved in boiling water, to each barrel, and mixing by 
 agitation. Whites of eggs, beaten to a froth, will answer 
 the same purpose. 
 
 Sixth — Inordinate fermentation, either primary or sec- 
 ondary, may be checked by racking off the wine into a 
 cask, previously fumigated by burning a little sulphur in 
 it. Another method is to put from one-half pound to 
 one pound of bruised mustard seed into each barrel. 
 Either process will also remove mustiness from the wine 
 or casks. 
 
 Seventh — Actual experience, alone, can furnish the 
 amateur wine-maker the knowledge requisite to insure 
 complete success in every instance.

CHAPTEK XXXI. 
 
 SACCHAKATED EXTRACTS, 
 
 This class of preparations are being introduced by 
 certain persons, who desire to present an easy and pleas- 
 ent method of administering medicines ; and a number of 
 prominent firms are now engaged in their manufacture. 
 
 Saccharated Extracts are not new remedies — they are 
 merely a new form of presenting old ones — but they have 
 the merit of furnishing an easy mode of administering 
 those remedies in a concentrated form, not likely to 
 deteriorate with age ; and they bid fair to become estab- 
 lished in public confidence and favor. If this should 
 prove to be the case, the list of formulas, here given, will 
 be extended in supplement form. 
 
 "The dry, soluble extractive matter of the drug is tritu- 
 rated with Sugar of Milk, in such proportions that one 
 troy ounce of these Extracts represents one troy ounce of 
 the crude drug." 
 
 In these formulas, the fresh Powdered Extracts are to 
 be used, unless otherwise specified.

 The following prescriptions contain most of the sub- 
 stances which have been found to produce explosions. 
 
 Potassium Chlorate and all other chlorates should never 
 be prescribed in powder rnixed with organic or inorganic 
 combustible or oxidizable bodies. If they are to be used, 
 use them separately, and if desired to be combined, make 
 them in solution.

 Soak pure glue in water until it is soft, then dissolve 
 it in the smallest possible amount of proof spirits by the 
 aid of a gentle heat. In two ounces of this mixture dis- 
 solve ten grains of Gum Ammoniac, and while still liquid, 
 add half a drachm of Mastic dissolved in three drachms 
 of Rectified Spirits. Stir well, and for use, keep the 
 Cement liquified in a covered vessel over a hot water bath. 
 
 Cement for Closing Cracks in Stoves. 
 
 This Cement is prepared by mixing finely pulverized 
 Iron with Liquid Water Glass, to a thick paste, and then 
 coating the cracks with it. The hotter the fire becomes, 
 the more does the cement melt and combine with its 
 metalic ingredients and the more completely will the 
 crack become closed.

 To Remove Inks. 
 
 Black Ink may be removed by applying Solution Chlori- 
 nate Soda ; then dilute Acetic Acid, and, lastly, pure soft 
 Water. This applies to all inks made from Galls. 
 
 Inks made with Nitrate of Silver can be removed by 
 washing with a Solution of Hyphosulphite of Soda, or, by 
 moistening with a solution of Bicholoride of Copper, and 
 then washing with Aqua Ammonia. It is difficult to dis- 
 charge Aniline Inks, by chemical agents. They gradually 
 fade by exposure to the light.

 Cement for Iron. 
 
 The following Cement is recommended for repairing 
 damaged places in Cast Iron Tanks, Cisterns, etc. : Five 
 parts Brimstone, two parts Black Lead and two parts of 
 Cast Iron Filings, previously sifted, are melted together, 
 taking care that the Brimstone does not catch fire. The 
 damaged place, perfectly dry, is well heated by laying 
 a piece of red hot iron upon it, and is then stopped with 
 the Cement previously heated in a melting ladle till it 
 becomes soft.

 Cement to Resist Petroleum. 
 
 A Cement peculiarly adapted to stand Petroleum, or 
 any of its distillates, is made by boiling three parts of 
 Eesin with one of Caustic Soda and five of Water. This 
 forms a Eesin Soap, which is afterwards mixed with 
 half its weight of Plaster of Paris, Zinc White, White 
 Lead, or Precipitated Chalk. The Plaster hardens in 
 about forty minutes.

 stirring occasionally; then strain, bottle, cork well, and 
 tie down. It should now be kept at a temperature of 70°, 
 or under, if possible ; or the bottles may burst. The 
 amount of yeast required will depend upon the strength 
 of the yeast, and the temperature ; too much yeast will 
 make it bitter. Some prefer to flavor with a little Ex- 
 tract of Lemon, or Vanilla. 
 
 Note. — Koumis was originally made in Kussia, from 
 the milk of mares. In this country, cows' milk is substi- 
 tuted. It should be drawn with a champagne tap, unless 
 a whole bottle is to be used at once. Age is said to in- 
 crease the nutritive properties of Koumis, but the fresh 
 made is more pleasant to the taste. The above formula 
 will, with a little practice, furnish an article equal to the

 Gelatin Bougies. 
 
 [Friedrich's Formula.] 
 
 Melt together over the water-bath, three parts of White 
 Gelatin, six parts of Glycerine, and one part of Water. 
 If any remedial agent is to be incorporated, this is, if 
 possible, dissolved in a little water and added, under con- 
 stant stirring with a glass rod. A glass tube of proper 
 diameter (about three to five m. m.) is then selected, the 
 interior of which is oiled and immersed into the melted 
 mass. By gentle suction the tube is filled, immediately 
 closed with the finger, and then allowed to cool, which 
 takes but a short time. An oiled plug is then inserted 
 into one end, and by means of a stout wire or rod the 
 Bougie is pushed out at the other end. This is then cut 
 into pieces of the proper length. 
 
 Absorbent Cotton. 
 
 [Slocum's Formula.] 
 
 Take of the best quality of carded Cotton Batting any 
 desired quantity, and boil it with five per cent, solution 
 of Caustic Potassa or Soda for one-half hour, or until 
 the Cotton is entirely saturated with the solution and the 
 alkali has saponified all oily matter. Then wash 
 thoroughly to remove all soap and nearly all alkali ; press 
 out the excess of water, and immerse in a five per cent, 
 solution of Chlorinated Lime for fifteen or twenty minutes. 
 Again wash, first with a little water, then dip in water 
 acidulated with Hydrochloric Acid, and thoroughly wash 
 with water ; press out the excess of water and again boil 
 for fifteen or twenty minutes in a five per cent, solution 
 of Caustic Potassa or Soda. Now wash well, dipping in 
 the acidulated water and washing thoroughly with pure 
 water. Afterward press out and dry quickly. 
 
606 MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 Preservation of Leeches. 
 
 Place the Leeches in an earthen-ware vessel, half fill- 
 ing it with river or rain water ; into this place a handful 
 of well-washed tow. Eenew the water about three times 
 a week in summer, and once in winter ; each time wash- 
 ing the sides of the vessel well, and wash out the tow 
 thoroughly or renew it each time. 
 
 Preservation of Gold-Fish. 
 
 Allow not more than one fish to a quart of water. Use 
 the same kind of water — either spring or river — contin- 
 ually ; change daily in summer, every other day in winter. 
 Use deep rather than shallow vessels, with clean pebbles 
 at the bottom. Keep the fish in an even and rather cool 
 temperature. Use a small net in handling them, and 
 when the water is to be changed, draw it off with a 
 syphon. Feed the fish cracker, yolk of an egg, lettuce, 
 flies, etc. Do not feed them with bread or cake. They 
 require little or no food from November until March. 
 Where there is room in the aquarium, always have a few 
 water plants growing to preserve the equilibrium; this 
 will save changing the water so often.

 run well around till all the organic particles turn black, 
 then add a little water and rinse out. 
 
 To Fasten Cloth on Wooden Surfaces. 
 
 Wheat Flour, 2£ pounds. 
 
 Resin, powdered, J ounce. 
 
 Alum, " I " 
 
 Water, sufficient. 
 Rub together until a uniform paste is formed, transfer 
 to a small kettle over a fire, heat and stir until the lumps 
 are all dissolved and the paste becomes stiff ; transfer to 
 another vessel and cover up. This paste is applied, in a 
 thin layer, to the surface of the table or desk to be cov- 
 ered ; the cloth or leather is then laid on, and smoothed 
 with a roller. If leather is to be fastened on, it must 
 first be dampened.

 Mix and keep in a tightly-corked bottle. Dose, from 
 three to ten grains. Nothing better to break up colds, or 
 modify their force. 
 
 Rubber Hand Stamps. 
 
 Vulcanized rubber is used, as prepared by the manu- 
 facturers, and can be procured in strips any desirable 
 width, and about one-half to one inch thick and any 
 desired length. The name and address should be set up 
 in common printing type, and the type well oiled. A rim 
 about half an inch in height should be placed around the 
 form, and dentists' plaster, mixed to the proper consist- 
 ence, poured in and allowed to set ; then the plaster cast 
 is separated from the type. A piece of the soft vulcan- 
 ized rubber is then cut, of the size of the plaster mold, 
 and laid upon it, and both together are placed in a screw 
 press and heat, sufficient to thoroughly soften the rubber, 
 is applied. The screw is then turned down hard and left 
 for a short time until the rubber is perfectly forced into 
 the mold. 
 
 After the whole is cold, the rubber is separated from 
 the mold and any irregularities trimmed off with a sharp 
 knife. The rubber is then fastened to a block of wood 
 with glue or other cement, and the stamp is then ready 
 for use.

 Ebonizing- Wood. 
 
 The following is the receipt used by the furniture 
 manufacturers for the now popular style of Ebonized 
 Wood: 
 
 Logwood Chips, 8 ounces. 
 
 Copperas, J ounce. 
 
 Lamp Black, \ " 
 
 Water, sufficient. 
 Boil the Logwood for one-half hour in a gallon of 
 water, and then add the Copperas and Lamp Black. 
 Apply to the Wood hot, giving a number of coats. In 
 varnishing Ebonized Wood, a little Drop Black must be 
 added to the Varnish, or it will give a brown shade. 
 
 Suppositories. 
 
 These are sometimes prescribed, and every druggist 
 should be familiar with their uses and understand how 
 to make them. They are generally made of Cocoa Butter, 
 with which the remedial agents prescribed are to be incor- 
 porated. This is frequently done by means of machines 
 made for the purpose, some of which are useful, working- 
 well, while others are worthless. Where a machine is 
 not at hand, the Suppositories may be made by taking 
 the Cocoa Butter — sufficient to make from one to two 
 drachms for each Suppository — and shaving it fine, then 
 rubbing up thoroughly, with the other ingredients, in a 
 mortar, until an even mass is produced. In cold weather 
 it will need to be slightly warmed, being careful not to 
 melt it. When the mixture is about the consistence of a 
 pill-mass, it may be rolled out, divided equally, and 
 made into cones by the use of the spatula and pill-tile. 
 Powdered Elm is used to dust them while being made ;

 the work must be performed quickly and with some care. 
 A little practice will enable one to produce uniform and 
 handsome Suppositories in this manner, and it is a saving 
 of time ; still it is better to use the moulds if they are 
 good ones.

 Suppositories, and the proportions usually prescribed :

 Heat and Cold. 
 
 The thermometer used in this country is that of 
 Fahrenheit. By the scale of this instrument, the freez- 
 ing point of water is 32°, and the boiling point 212°. To 
 convert the degrees of Fahrenheit into those of Centi- 
 grade, deduct 32, multiply by 5, and divide by 9. 
 
 To convert the degrees of Centigrade into those of 
 Fahrenheit, multiply by 9, divide by 5, and add 32. 
 
 When a boiling heat is directed, a temperature of 212° 
 F. is meant. 
 
 When a gentle heat is directed, a temperature of from 
 90° to 100°, F., is meant.
