PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. ^HE sale of a large edition of this work, and the V . marked favor with which it was received by the medical and pharmaceutical professions, has in- duced the author to prepare a new edition, and which, by unusual aire and labor bestowed upon it, he hopes will still further meet their approbation. The work has been entirely rewritten, corrected, improved and enlarged, and contains double the num- ber of -pages of the former edition. It incorporates all the officinal articles of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia of 1880, including many unofficinal drugs and prepara- tions that are in use in different parts of the country. The formulas of the preparations are given in nearly every case, also the pharmacopoeal and systematic terms of all the simple drugs, with the English terms and Latin synonyms, the solubilities of the chemicals in water, alcohol, etc., the doses in apothecaries' weight and measure, with their equivalents in the metric sys- tem, the medical properties and many useful hints; condensing in a convenient and ready form an amount of information that could not be gained in the ordinary way without a vast amount of research. On the labels of all active and poisonous articles are printed two heavy black lines, as borders, and the title is followed by one or more exclamation points, so as to invite proper care in dispensing such articles. Parties, if they wish to make such labels conform to the cus- tomary red labels for poisons, can give them a coating of carmine or eosine ink before varnishing. In regard to the doses, the best American as well as foreign authorities were carefully consulted and com- pared, marked discrepancies often reconciled, and the doses of simple drugs and their* preparations brought into harmony, so that the labels may present an accurate and reliable posological compend. The minimum and maximum doses are given, and often the medium dose, and the amount that in ordinary cases should not be exceeded in a day, expressed in apothecaries' weight or measure and in the metric system. The amounts of the latter are not exact equivalents of the former, but the nearest approxima- tion that can be given without making use of awkward fractions — being such round numbers that would be used for the most part in practice, were the metric system used exclusively. Doses are not fixed amounts, and are generally stated in simple numbers, and so iv PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. long as authors endeavor to convert the simple num- bers of our weights and measures into their exact metric equivalents with cumbrous fractions, so long will physicians and pharmacists be deterred from using the decimal system. The doses as set down in these Labels are such as are used in ordinary cases for the average individual; the prescriber must, of course, exercise a proper intel- ligence to modify them, to* meet special cases and to suit the various conditions of age, sex and idiosyncracy of the patient. The Labels will be found very useful as a book of reference to the pharmacist or physician, and valuable when attached to the bottles, saving much time, in many cases, that would otherwise be necessary in re- ferring to books. By means of a good paste, made with flour or starch, they may be applied to the rear, lower part of the shop bottle, and advantageously in front of the bottles of the prescription counter or in the cabinet of the physician. The Labels may be attached to the upper, inside surface of the shop drawer, or, what is better, pasted to a small block of wood, one-half inch thick, and the size of the Label. These blocks can readily be cut from a long strip to the proper length, and, by means of glue, attached nearly flush to the upper right- or left-hand corner of the drawer, thus : — The first ft), or oz. mark, as the case may be, is in- tended to be followed by the cost price, and the follow- ing weight-marks by the selling price, all of which may be put on with a lead-pencil, so that the marks can be erased in case of a change. The labels on the bottles should be sized with a coating of dissolved gelatine, and, when dry, covered with one or two coatings of a good spirit varnish, to protect them. The introduction of many valuable tables, and a description of many new remedies, in the appendix, will add to the value of this edition. The sale of a large number of copies of the former edition has confirmed the author in his previous con- viction that such labels are needed; and if a single life will be saved through their means he will consider himself amply paid for his care and labor.

For an adult (21 to 60 years), suppose the dose to be one drachm, or one grain, as the case may be : for a child, one year and under, it would be ,"& to & the amount ; 2 years, % ; 3 years %; 4 years, % ; 7 years, % ; 14 years, \i ; 20 years, %. Above 65 years the inverse gradation of the above. There are some ex- ceptions, however; for instance, opiates affect children much more powerfully than adults, and relatively smaller doses must be giren, while, on the other hand, comparatively larger doses of calomel are borne by children.

IMPERIAL MEASURE OF ENGLAND AND THE BRITISH PHARMACOPOEIA, WITH RELA- TIVE VALUE OF AVOIRDUPOIS WEIGHT. The Imperial Gallon, by an act of Parliament, 1824, is to be a measure containing 10 ft>s. avoirdupois of distilled water, weighed in air at 62° F., the barometer standing at 30 inches. The imperial gallon of distilled water, therefore, weighs 70,000 grains. The gallon measure has the capacity of 277.276 cubic inches, and the pint 34.659 cubic inches. Measure, Wkibht. 1 minim, min. = = 0.91 gr. 1 fluid-drachm, fl.drm. = 60 minims = 54.68 grs. 1 fluid-ounce, fl. oz. = 8 fluid-drachms = 437.5 " 1 pint, O. = 20 fl.oz. = Impounds (a v.) = 8750.0 " 1 gallon, C. =8 pints = 10 «' " = 70000.0 " The Imperial Pint is within an inconsiderable fraction one- fifth larger than the Apothecaries' or Wine pint. The same relation applies to the gallon. For instance : A wine pint = 28.875 cubic inches, or 7291.11 grains. Add one-fifth 5.775 " " or 1458.22 " 34.650 " " 8749.33 " An imperial pint = 34.659 " " or 8750.0 " The same relation, however, does not hold good in case of the fluid-ounces of the two systems. 24 fluid-ounces wine measure equal 25 fluid-ounces imperial measure within .83 part of a grain. METRIC OR DECIMAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. The length of the metre, the unit of all measures, is based upon the ten-millionth part of a quarter meridian of the earth. The cube of the tenth part of the metre is the unit of measures of capacity, and is called a litre. The weight of distilled water at its greatest density, 4° C. (39.2° F.), which this cube (litre) is capable of containing, is called kilogramme, and the thousandth part of which (a cubic centimetre) is denominated gramme, and is adopted as the unit of weight. The subdivisions of all mea- sures are named by prefixing to the term of the unit the Latin numerals, dec?:, the tenth part (0.10); centi, the hundredth part (0.01), and milli, the thousandth part (0.001). The multiples, or increasing numbers, are designated by prefixing the Greek numerals, deca or deka, 10; hecio or hekto, 100; kilo, 1000, and tmjria, 10,000. The basis of the following tables are : The metre (or meter), unit of length, at 32° F. = 39.370432 inches. The litre (or liter), unit of capacity = 33.816 fl. ozs., U. S.

TABLES OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Note.— The Gramme (Gm.) is the standard of weight, and the Cubic Centimetre (C. c.) the standard of measure used in me- trical prescription writing, and practically the former may be considered equal to 15 grains, and the latter to 15 minims. Four grammes would, therefore, represent one drachm, and four cubic centimetres, one fluid-drachm. Upon this calculation the apothecaries' weight and measures were converted into the metric system in this work. The same rule is followed in the National Dispensatory, and, in fact, physicians using the metric system in writing prescriptions, make use of simple, or round numbers, avoiding all cumbrous fractions. These tables were introduced merely for giving exact equivalents in making cal- culations in special cases, and as a matter of scientific interest. The Apothecaries', or Troy Weights, must always be under- stood as the weights used in this work, and the abbreviations — oz., dr., and scr. — are used in place of the signs — 3, 5, 3 — as less likely to lead to a mistake. THERMOMETERS. In the Fahrenheit's scale the freezing point is at 32° and the boiling point 212°, the number of intervening degrees being 180. The Centigrade, or Celsius', has 0° (zero) for the freezing point and 100° for the boiling point, and is the thermometer most generally used by scientific writers. The Reamur thermo- meter was formerly used in Germany, and is referred to in older books. The freezing point is 0° and the boiling point 80°, having 80 intervening degrees. The 0° (zero) of the Fahren- heit's thermometer is 32° below the freezing point. All the thermometers are graduated downward in the same ratio from 0° in their respective scales, and the degrees are indicated by the algebraic negative sign ( — ).

In subtracting, change the sign of the number to be subtracted, or conceive it to be changed, and then proceed as in addition. For instance, with -the example marked with an asterisk (*) the number 32 having the + understood is changed to — 32, and by sutracting 21.2 leaves —10.8. x A LIST OF TEEMS AND ABBREVIATIONS.

It is not customary in this country to write the directions in Latin ; and for the safety of the patient all directions for taking or applying the medicine should be written in plain and legible English, or in the language understood by the patient or attend- ant, It is a bad practice for a physician, as a rule, to write " Use as directed." In many cases the instructions will be forgotten. It should never be done when two or more medicines are pre- scribed, at the same time, for the same individual. 4fcS~ Whenever there is any possibility of a dangerous preci- pitate forming in a mixture it is always best to add a "SHAKE WELL" label.

Under this head are classed mixtures of such drugs as undergo a change, either during the process of preparation, or at a longer or shorter time thereafter, in consequence of which they either explode violently, become incandescent, burst into flame or take lire, and are dangerous to persons and buildings. Chlorate of Potassium and CJiloraie of Sodium.— Even small portions of these salts may produce frightful explosions, either by being rubbed in a mortar, or through concussion, pressure, or warmth, with sulphur, carbon, iodine, metallic powders, as reduced iron, organic acids, such as salicylic acid, carbolic acid, organic substances, starch, sugar, etc., and any specially oxidizable substance. Always powder the chlorate by itself, and mix with other substances by means of a plume of a feather, on a sheet of paper, and pour out (without the aid of a spoon) at a distance from a burning light into a paper box or bag. For fluid mixtures, the chlorate should be dissolved by itself, in water, and then the other ingredients mixed with it. But even such watery mixtures may explode by a slight DANGEROUS COMPOUNDS OF DRUGS. heat, (in the pocket, from the warmth of the body). A mixture of a'solution of chlorate of potassium with glycerin is always dangerous. Some inexperienced physicians attempt to combine Glycerin, Alcohol, Carbolic Acid, Oil of Thyme, and other anti-diphtheritics, with Chlorate of Potassium. Unless much water enters into the mixture, it is to be avokled, or the pre- scriber notified. When such mixtures are made, and tarried in the pocket the slight heat from the body is enough to cause an explosion. Iodate of Potassium — Which is occasionally used iu med- icine, demands the same caution as chlorate of potassium, or sodium. Permanganate of Potassium. — Concentrated aqueous solutions of this salt are decomposed by admixtures with or- ganic substances of all kinds (also with glycerin, alcohol, ex- tracts, ethereal oils, syrups) and with sulphur, and substances containing sulphur, all organic acids, such as citric, tartaric, carbolic, salicylic acids, etc., or their salts, with attendant ex- plosion. The mixture of dry permanganate of potassium with sulphur, organic substances, and above all, oxidizable materials, may be followed by a dangerous explosion, accompanied by fire, so that the personpreparing the mixture may lose his'eyes, hands or fingers. Prescriptions of this sort should be rejected. Permanganate of potassium should be dispensed by itself alone, in watery solution or in powder, or, in the form of pills, with white hole (kaolin). Iodine. — The solution of iodine in, or the admixture of tinc- ture of iodine to, liquids which contain free ammonia in large quantity, causes the formation of the so-called iodide of nitro- gen, a substance that becomes highly explosive under pressure, or by heat. Iodine in ammoniaeal "Liniments, or with ammo- niacal combinations (white precipitate) should never be dis- pensed in salves, since the formation of iodide of nitrogen is always to be expected. Mixtures of iodine with ethereal oils may also result in explosion or flame. Bromine — Behaves in a manner somewhat similar to iodine- Chloride of Lime. — Mixtures of chloride of lime and sul- phur explode sometimes after being made; chloride of lime also forms mixtures with certain organic substances, such as glyce- rin, ethereal oils, etc., which often do not explode or take fire at once, but this result follows after a time. If sulphur forms part of the mixture au explosion or ignition is certain. Combina- tions of chloride of lime with chloride of ammonium, sulphur, glycerin, fats, or ointments, are always dangerous. The therea- peutic object— the operation of the chlorine— is annihilated by the contact with the organic matter, and renders the mixture useless. The mixture of chloride of lime with chloride of am- monium is especially dangerous, since the formation of the ex- plosire chloride of nitrogen is the usual result. JETupopTiosphites. — The hypophosphite of calcium, potas- sium, sodium, or any other hypophosphite, must never be mixed with chlorate of potassium or sodium, neither with iodate of potassium, permanganate of potassium, or chloride of lime. A pharmacist who prepared a pill mass from hypophosphite of lime, 2.5 Gm., chlorate of potassium, 4.0 Gm., and lactate of iron 0.3 Gm., was so injured by the consequent explosion and outburst of fire that he was confined to his bed for two weeks. Oxide of Silver — Must be moistened with water before being mixed with organic or oxidizable substances. This pre- caution does not always prevent an explosion taking place later in the pocket of an individual. Chromic Acid, also Bichromate of Potassium (and other bichromates), must be handled with special caution under certain circumstances. If, for example, the warm or hot solu- tions of the chromic combination were mixed with glycerin, ethereal oils, or other organic substances, an explosion may happen, and the organic substances ignite readily, and if this should not take place at once, it may after a little while. Picric Acid — Resembles chromic acid, and it, as well as the picrates, should never be mixed by dry trituration with organic substances, sulphur, iodine, etc. Sulphuric Acid. — Mixtures of sulphuric acid and oil of turpentine are used in -veterinary practice, and for preparing terepene. Both liquids react on each other with unusual vio- lence ; but this reaction does not take place immediately, or at alow temperature, but sometimes later, and is then sometimes accompanied by flame. When this takes place in a stoppered flask, a violent explosion will ensue. If some fatty oil is ordered in combination with the acid and the oil of turpentine— as is sometimes the case — the sulphuric acid should be mixed with an equal volume of the fixed oil in an earthenware vessel, with diligent stirring. After the action of the acid on the oil (dis- engagement of sulphurous acid) has terminated, small portions of the oil of turpentine are added at a time, and the mixture completed by stirring. The mixture having become cold, after standing for at least an hour, is finally put into a bottle, and carefully shaken up again ; then set aside for a quarter of an hour before being corked. Spirit of Nitrous JEther, when mixed with tinctures, fluid extracts, or similar liquids, alkaline carbonates, etc., frequently causes a disengagement of gas, in consequence of which the bottle, if tightly corked, may burst, or the cork be expelled, and the liquid escape.

Merck's " Aconitin. amorph. pur. pulv." is comparatively mild, nearly insoluble in Water, freely soluble in Alcohol ; dose, -^ to bV of a grain, and sometimes more, while his "-Aconitin. nitric, cryst."

Nearly as active as the latter are the so-called Japaconitine and Pseuda- conitiii''. It is said that Gehe & Co.'s Amorphous Aconitin ap- proaches in action the crystallized varieties, and therefore should not be substituted for Merck's Amorphous. t NOTE. — In April, 1880. Dr. Meyer, of 'Winschoten, Germany, died from a do?e of 1-20 or 1-15 of a grain of Petit's Nitrate of Aconitine ; it was dispensed in place of that of Friedlander, which was intended to be used. By experi- ments of Aurep and of Plugge, Petit's was found weaker than Duquesnel's, though that of Petit's was at least 8 times stronger than Merck's (ordinary), while that of Merck was 20 or 30 times stronger than Friedlander's. Where so much uncertainty, as to thequality, exists, the use of Aconitine. certainly, requires a great deal of caution, and as regards the greater accuracy of dosage and economy, the fluid extract, or tincture, should have the preference. 10 ACONITUM ! !

These so-called "concentrated medicines" are prepared, for the most part, by evaporating, or distilling off', the alcohol of a saturated alcoholic tincture of the drug, until reduced nearly to the consistence of honey, and then gradually poured into about 100 parts of cold water' (below 50° F.). When the precipitate has settled the water is poured off, and the precipitate (resinoid) is washed twice with fresh portions of cold water, by decanta- tion. The resinoid is then spread out, in thin layers, and dried in a cool place, free from dust. They must not be confounded with the alkaloids and true, active principles of drugs, although unfortunately having the same name, except the usual final (e) in alkaloids. NAMES. OBTAINED FROM.

We considered it important to bring together a short account of many of the new remedies recently introduced, a number of which are so far only noticed in journals and trade circulars. MTHOXT - CAFFEINE.— This body is formed by the action of an alcoholic solution of potassa on Broni-Caffeine. It occurs in white crystalline needles; insoluble in water; very slightly soluble in alcohol or ether. It is a sedative and narco- tic. Dose, 4 to 15 grains in 24 hours. A single dose of 4 grains (0.25 Gin.) should not be exceeded. It is best dissolved, with an equal amount of salicylic acid, in water. It sometimes succeeds in migraine when other remedies fail. AGAMICIN. — An active principle from White (Larch) Agaric, Polyporus officinalis. It is not an alkaloid, but a feeble acid. It is in the form of a white, amorphous powder. The commencing dose should not exceed A of a grain (0.005 Gm.), although it is not considered poisonous when free from the red resin wnich the Agaracin formerly contained, and rendered it strongly cathartic. It is employed in the ni^ht-sweats of phthisical patients, and as it sometimes acts on the bowels it is suitably combined with Dover's Powder as follows : Agaracin 8 grains, Dover's Powder 116 grains, Althaea powder 60 grains, to be made into 100 pills with mucilage. Dose, 1 or 2 at bed-time. Excessive sweating, produced by medicine or other causes, may be controlled by Agaracin. It produces painful irritation when used hypodermicafly. AIjOIN— It is said that Aloin is the only purgative that can be properly used hypoderrnically. It is useful when it is not Sossible to administer a purgative by mouth. The dose, bypo- ermically, is 2 to 3% grains, dissolved in water. ANTIFEBBIN.—A derivative of aniline, viz., phenylacet- amide or acetanilide. It is in the form of a white crystalline powder, soluble in 180 parts of cold water (42.8° F.), more readily soluble in alcohol. The dose is 5 to 30 grains per day. Its effects are manifested in an hour, and fully developed in 4 hours. It has antipyretic powers which are said to be exerted more promptly and from smaller doses than is the case with antipyrin. ANTIBYBIN; Dimethyloxy-chinizin.—K white, crystalline powder, prepared synthetically from certain constituents of coal-tar. Soluble in water, in less than an equal weight, and freely soluble in alcohol and chloroform. It is said to lower the temperature of fever patients from 3}/> to 5 }/? F , and produce a re- freshing sleep for 5 or 6 hours, by administering 15 grains at 9 P.m., and 7% grains, each, at 10 and 11 p.m., dissolved in water or wine when taken. As much as 75 grains have been given in three divided doses, proportioned as above. The following mix- ture has been proposed in typhoid fever: Antipyrin 20, Jamaica Rum 30, Water 150, and Syrup 150 parts; dose, a teaspoonful 3 times a day. The dose for children is from 1 to \% grains, for each year of a child's age. Antipyrin is not an antiperiodic, and is considered useless in intermittents. Incompatible with spirit of nitrous ether. APJOTj —In the form of white crystals; a stearopten of the essential oil of Parsley fruit. The dose is 4 grains (0.25 Gm.), and used in intermittents and dysmenorrhcea. Apiol is also the term applied to the ethereal extract of the fruit in a liquid form. — See Apiol, p. 16. ARBTJTIN.—A glucoside from Uva Ursi. It is freely solu- ble in water, less soluble in alcohol. When boiled with diluted acids it is resolved into glucose and hydrochinon. Dose, 8 to 15 grains (0.5 — 1.0 Gm.), in solution or powder. Considered useful m catarrh of the bladder. ASEYTOTj— This term is applied to a 33% per cent, solution of Orthoxyphenol-Sulphonic Acid. (The name Sozolic Acid has been recently proposed for it.) It has been recommended as a substitute for Carbolic and Salicylic Acids. It possesses their antiseptic properties, and is soluble in water, alcohol and glyce- rin in all proportions. It is said to be free from the irritant and toxic properties of Carbolic Acid, and is therefore recom- mended in extensive surgical operations (opening of the abdom- inal cavity, etc.). It is not escharotic when applied to delicate tissues, and may be used in opthalmic practice. It has anti- septic properties in a solution of 1 in 1,000. The internal doae is intermediate between Carbolic and Salicylic Acids. 183 184 NEW REMEDIES. AVENINE.—A supposed alkaloid of oats, (Avena saliva, L.), in the form of a brown powder, aromatic vanilla-like odor, having the characteristic reactions of alkaloids. Soluble in diluted alcohol. It is a nitrogenous body, aud is supposed to exert its physiological action to stimulate the motor cells of the nervous system. AVENIN. — A protein compound, closely resembling legu- min, and sometimes called Oat-legumin. It is a grayish-white tasteless powder. Insoluble in the usual solvents— water, alco- hol, ether ; but soluble in weak alkaline solutions. When heated on platinum it diffuses the characteristic odor of burnt hair. 1. BISMUTH SALICYLATE (with about 40 per cent, of oxide). 2. BISMUTH SALICYLATE, basic(with about 63 per cent, of oxide^. It is supposed that the antiseptic proper- ties of Bismuth are increased by the combination T\ith Salicylic Acid. Considered useful in chronic diarrhoea, and the diarrhoea of phthisical patients. Dose, about 8 grains (0.5 Gm.). Dr. Sol- §er, Berlin, uses the following: Bismuth Salicyl. (basic), and ugarof Milk, each, 6% drachms (25.0 Gm.), to be diviiea into 40 powders, and 1 powder to be taken every 8 hours. Constipa- tion must be relieved by castor oil. Should toxic effects occur in the use of Bismuth (pain in the stomach; tongue marked with black streaks in the middle, vomiting, etc.) they must be combatted with an emetic (apomorphine), purgative and muci- laginous drinks, alternated by ice pills. CAFFEINE.— E. Merck announces that he has been enabled to form true salts with this base, and offers Benzoate, Hydro- bromate, Hydrochlorate, Nitrate, Salicylate, and Valerianate of Caffeine. He calls especial attention to his double salts : Caffeine Sodio-Benzoate (45.8 per cent. Caffeine). Caffeine Sodio-Hydrobromate (52 per cent. Caffeine). Caffeine Sodio-Cinnamylate (62% per cent. Caffeine). Caffeine Sod io-Salicy late (62% per cent. Caffeine). Riegel and some other investigators recommend these salts ai substitutes for Digitalis, and on account of their ready solubility suitable for hypodermic use. Riegel names the dose of pure Caffeine at 12 grains per day, which may be increased to 30 grains, and on this basis calculates the dose of the salts and double salts. The G. P. names 9 grains Caffeine the daily maxi- mum dose. CAFFEINE CITRATE— of the Brit. Pharni. is prepared by dissolving equal parts of Caffeine and Citric Acid, in double their amount of water, evaporating to dryness on a water-bath, and powdering. Though a mechanical mixture, it dissolves to a clear solution in water, and has a definite composition. CANNABINON.—A name given to a new, soft, resinous extract of Cannabis indica. Insoluble in water; soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform and ethereal and fatty oils. It pos- sesses the sedative and soporific properties of Indian Hemp, in a concentrated form. Dose, % to 1% grains (0.05—0 1 Gm.). Not being easily dispensed, on account of its viscid nature, it is best triturated with 10 parts of Sugar of Milk, which compound is also offered in the market— the dose being ten times the above. CANNABINE TANNATE.— Probably a combination of Cannabinon with 10 parts of Tannic Acid. An amorphous powder, almost insoluble in water. Sedative and hypnotic in neuralgia and nervous excitement ; also in tetanus, hydrophobia, and strychnine-poisoning. Ordinary dose, 4 to 15 grains (0.25 — 1.0 Gm.). In delirium, etc., up to 24 grains (1.5 Gm.). Used as an antispasmodic in ordinary cases. CHINOLINE.— When recently prepared a colorless liquid. A derivative of Phenol, and the starting-point of Kairine, Anti- pyrine, etc. As a remedy in periodic and typhus fevers it was described by G. Wertheim in 1849. The Tartrate of Chinoline, recommended by Donath, is crystalline, has a bitter taste, and is soluble in water. It has antiseptic and antipyretic properties. It has been used in typhoid fever, in which it acts similarly to Hydrochinon. It is said that it has a favorable action on arti- cular rheumatism and on facial erysipelas. Acute enlargements of the spleen are reduced by Chinoline. Dose, 8 to 30 grains (0.5—2.0 Gm.). several times a day, in wafers, or dissolved in 50- parts, each, of water and an agreeable syrup. It does not agree with phthisical patients. COCAINE.— An alkaloid from the leaves of Eryihrozylon Coca, a South American shrub, wild and cultivated. The pure alkaloid is in colorless, transparent crystals, soluble in about 700 parts of water, but more freely in alcohol and ether. The citrate, hydrobromate, hydrochlorate, salicylate and tartrate of Cocaine are prepared. The hydrochlorate is the salt most gen- erally employed. Dr. Kavl Koller, of Vienna, was the first who discovered the use of Cocaine as a local anaesthetic ; and his dis- covery was announced by Dr. Brettaur, on December 17 and 18, 1884. It is used as a local anaesthesia to the mucous membranes by applviog a 2 or 4 per cent, solution. Also in the form of an oieate with 5 per cent, of the alkaloid. By the addition of % of a grain to each dose of a hypodermic injection of corrosive sub- NEW REMEDIES. lima to, the usual painful irritation caused by the sublimate is considerably lessened. The dose by mouth is 'from , l a to 1 grain. The salts are nearly all freely soluble in water. The best, anti- dote to Cocaine-poisoning is Amyl nitrite, according to Dr. Schilling. COLCHICINE.— The active principle found in all parts of Cotchicum autumna/e. It is a very powerful poison, and should not be given in doses exceeding the ^ to 3 ^ P art of a grain (0.0005— -0.002 Gin.), two or three times a day in gout or rheuma- tism. Not suitable for hypodermic use. Colchiceine is a de- composition product of Colchicine, and is equally, and some assert more, poisonous than Colchicine. CONVA LLA M ARIN and CONVALLARIN are two glucosides prepared from the flowers of Convnllaria majalis, L. The first is a heart-poison, like Digitalin — the latter an emeto- cathartic. The different commercial products are not of uniform activity. M. Merck says his Con vail amarin may be administered several times a davj hypodermically, in doses of T x 3 , £ to -J of a grain (0.005 — 0.01—0.02 Gm.). Maragliano found prompt and charac- teristic Digitalin action from the use of Merck's, while Leu- bacher saw alarming symptoms from an unknown product. DIASTASE. — A principle developed in the germinating of barley or other grain. It has the property of converting starch into dextrin and sugar. It resembles ptyalin in its action as a ferment, and aids in the digestion of starchy food. Dose, 5 to 15 grains. DIGIT ALINUM; DIGITALIN.- The articles of com- merce, bearing this name, are compounds of the more or less active principles contained in Digitalis; and it will be of inter- est to enumerate and describe the principal Digitalins of com- merce, but before doing so it will be necessary to name the con- stituents of Digitalis, according to Schmiedeberg. 1. Digitonm, resembling Saponin in properties and action, has no character- istic action of Digitalis, and is soluble in water. 2. Digitalein, an amorphous glucoside, very soluble in water. 3. Digitalin (Schmiedeberg's), a crystallizable glucoside, insoluble in water. 4. Digitoxin, not a glucoside, which may be converted without splitting up into toxiresin, insoluble in water. 5. Digitin, a pas- sive Digitalin, or inert crystallizable substance, without action on the organism. Besides these there are some decomposition products of no interest under consideration. The commercial Digitalins, according to Merck, are : 1. " Digitalin pur. pulv." ; German Digitalin. — It consists principally of Digitalein, with a little Digitonin and Digitalin. On account of the solubility of Digitalein in water, it is not cumulative, nor irritating when used hypodermically. This German Digitalin is also soluble in alcohol ; insoluble in ether and chloroform. Dose, ^ to ^ of a grain. 2." Digitaline crystallisee Nativelle" ; Nativelle's crys- tallized Digitaline. — The most active physiologically. In small, white, shining needles, insoluble in cold or boiling water, in ether or benzol; but readily soluble in chloroform. It is the type of the French Digitalins, consists mostly of Digitoxin, which is the most active and poisonous principle of Digitalis. Itis not a glucoside. It is cumulative. Dose, ^ to T £- of a grain- 3." Dig italin<>. amor phe EComolle"; Ilomolle's amorphous Digitalin. — A white or yellowish-white powder, of a very bitter taste, slightly soluhb in water and ether; readily soluble in alcohol and chloroform. It consists principally of Digitalin (a crystallizable glucoside. Dose, ^ to ^ of a grain. The second and third enumerated above dissolve in concen- trated hydrochloric acid with a green color. Merck offers three preparations, viz.: (a) " Digitalin, pur. piili-:' A yellowish-white powder, which, he says, has always an uniform composition, and on which the physician can rely and agrees with the German Digitalin, No. 1. (b) "Digitali- num ergstallisatum". It is identical with Digitin, and is a side product in preparing Amorphous Digitalin. Dissolves with difficulty in cold water, more readily in hot water, and in alco- hol; insoluble in ether and chloroform, (c) " Digitoxin? This Merck claims to be pure Digitoxin, the most active and poisonous of all the principles in Digitalis, and contained therein only to the extent of 1 or 2 parts in 1,000. From an alcoholic solution it crystallizes in fine, concentrically aggrega- ted needles. Insoluble in water; readily soluble in alcohol and chloroform. As previously stated Digitoxin is cumulative ; and it is irritating to the skin when used hypodermically. On account of its great activity it should not be dispensed, (d) "Digitalin. amor ph. Th. gallic, et I*h. belgic"; Amor- phous Digitalin of the French and Belgium Pharmacopoeias. An amorphous powder, nearly insoluble in water and ether; freely soluble in alcohol and chloroform. Colored green by hydro- chloric acid. In composition it resembles No. 3, (Homoile'si. It also possesses cumulative and irritant properties. NEW REMEDIES. x JSJEEIOTROPIN ; Piperonal; Methene-protocatechuie Alde- hyde. — A derivative of Piperine. Owing to its remarkable helio- trope-like odor it lias found considerable use in perfumery. It is in the form of colorless crystals, difficultly soluble in water ; freely soluble in alcohol and ether. In 1879 it was sold by the manufacturer, in Germany, at 3,000 marks per kilo- gramme, and at present (1886), owing to improvements in man- ufacture, the price is 450 marks for the same quantity. HIPPURATE OF CALCIZTM.—A white powder, solu- ble in water. It is used in complaints that owe their cause to an excess of uric acid in the system. It is claimed that favor- able results have been obtained in phosphaturia, cystitis, asso- ciated with muco-alkaline condition of the urine; strumo'us complaints, and incipient cyrrhose formation of the liver, con- nected with increased formation of urates. The dose is about 10 grains (0.6 6m.). Hippurate of Sodium, and of Lithium, are employed in the same doses and for the same complaints. HOM ATROPINE — This is an artificial alkaloid, one of a series of alkaloids Prof. Ladenburg produced by the union of tropic acid and tropine. HOM ATROPINE STYDROBROMATE.— This salt is soluble in 10 parts of water. It is used in ophthalmic practice. Dr. Hirschberg uses a one per cent, solution. The dilatation of the pupil commences in 15 to 30 minutes, is at its maximum in one hour, and passes off in 5 or 6 hours. The patients can therefore much sooner follow their usual occupation than when atropine is employed. HYDRO O WIN ON ; HYDROQT7INONE (Paradihy- droxyl-benzol or Orlhobioxy-benzol ) is isomeric with resorcin and pyrocatechin, and similar in physiological action, and power to depress febrile temperatures. Hydrochinon is a white, crystalline powder, soluble in water. Dose, 5, 15 to 30 grains. UYPNO YE; Acetophenone ; Phenyl-Melhy I- Ketone — A color- less liquid, which is said to cause generally a deep sleep, in an adult in the dose of % to 2% grains, (0.05—0.15 Gm.). Best given in gelatin capsules, mixed with glycerin. It is claimed to excel in alcoholism the activity of paraldehyde and chloral. According to Laborde, Hypnone strongly retards the excitability of the vagus, depresses the pressure of the blood, and changes the rythm of respiration, and therefore requires cautious ad- ministration. It is said to be converted in the organism into carbonic and benzoic acids, and to be finally eliminated as hip- puric acid in the urine. HYOSCINE. — An amorphous, semi-liquid alkaloid from Hyoscyamus niger L. The Hydrobromate and the Hydriodate of Hyoscine are usually employed. Both salts are soluble in water, and are considered ten times as active as Hyoscyamine. It is said that the commercial " amorphous sulphate of hyoscy- amine" consists chiefly of sulphate of hyoscine. It resembles atropine in its action, but having greater antispasmodic prop- erties and being only about half as powerful. The dose of the salts of Hyoscine is given at T ^ to 3 V of a grain (0.0005 — 0.002 Gm.). As a mydriatic to be instilled in the eye, 1 part is dissolved in 1,000 parts of distilled water. It causes more prompt, but less persistent dilatation of the pupil than atropine. Prof. Robert considers it as occupying the front rank as a sedative in mania- cal impulses, on account of its prompt action and freedom from danger in diseases of the heart, in the small dose of a milli- gramme. B x j of a grain. Prof. II. C. Wood considers hydrobromate of hyoscine very valuable in melancholia, with agitation, hypodermically, in doses of ^ to ^5 of a grain; and it is never followed by any local irritation. By mouth it acts with less certainty; and as he states, "it is often much easier to give hypodermic injection to a violent maniac than to get him to take medicine. Although in most cases larger doses are required, it is not safe to begin with more than j}^ part of a grain." As an ordinary hypnotic the hypodermic dose is stated at ^ to ^hs of a g rain > an( l in- ternally t^ts to s's of a grain. ICHTHYOE.— It is obtained by distilling a peculiar bitu- minous deposit, near Seefeld, in Tyrol, discovered by Dr. K. Bchroeter. The deposit consists of immense layers, 5,000 feet above the present level of the sea, of fossil fishes and marine animals of extinct species. It contains from 2.5 to 10 per cent, of sulphur. Different compounds are prepared, viz. : Sulpho- ichthyolate of Ammonium, of Sodium, and of Zinc. The former compound is now generally preferred, especially for internal use. Its value consists in its high percentage ol sul- phur, its solubility in water, and its freedom from toxic proper- ties. It is used both internally and externally in various forms of rheumatism, gout, etc., also in parasitic skin diseases, eczema, etc., variously diluted with water, or in the form of an ointment with benzoinated lard, lanolin, etc. The dose internally is about 1% grains (0.1 Gm.), in pills or solution, as an anodyne in rheumatism. IODOE; Tetra-iodo-pyrrol. — Discovered by Drs. G. Ciamician and P. Silber,of Borne, and is now manufactured under a patent by Kalle & Co., Germany. Bone-oil (Dippel's animal oil) among NEW REMEDIES. 187 other constituents contains a weak base called pyrrol; this, ■when purified, is acted upon by iodine in the presence of an alkali, and Iodol is precipitated. As found in commerce it is a crystalline, tasteless powder, with a pale brownish tint, and feeble odor of Thymol, and feels like French chalk. Insoluble in water, soluble in 3 parts of alcohol, freely in ether and chlo- roform, and in about 6 parts of warm olive oil. It is decomposed above 21_° F., contains 8-.D7 per cent, iodine. Iodol is used in medicine for the same purposes as iodoform. It has similar effects, but the advantage of being nearly odor- less, harmless when absorbtd, and less irritating to wounded surfaces. It may be applied in the form of powder to the wounds, or cotton impregnated with an alcoholic solution, or fauze impregnated with a 5 per cent, solution in alcohol, and ried. The gauze will, however, become brown, from the libera- tion of iodine. A solution of 1 part of Iodol in 16 of alcohol and 34 of glycerin had heen recommended, but Prof. Bardele- ben, of Berlin, received no benefit from its use. JKAIRINJE.— The hydrochlorate of an artificial alkaloid prepared from Chinoline. A grayish or yellowish, crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. Prof. Filehne, who experi- mented with it as an antipyretic, commences with 4 or 5 grains, repeating the dose every 2* or 3 hours, and increasing it to 8, or even 15 grains, according to its influence in reducing the tem- perature. It is best administered in wafers or capsules, and water taken after each dose. KOSIN (cryst.). KOTTSSJEIN (amorph.). — The active principles of Brayera. Koussein is a mixture of Kosin with some resinous matter, and is given in tape-worm in doses of 25 to 30 grains (1.5 — 2.0 Gni.). Kosin is pleasanter to take, dose 15 grains (1.0 Gm.) IjACMOID. — It is prepared by the action of nitrite of sodium on resorcin. As a substitute for Litmus, it is more sen- sitive than the latter, and more generally applicable than Phen- olphthalein. As a test solution, 0.5 Gm. is dissolved in 100 C.c, each, of water and alcohol. ZAXOZIN773I; ZANOJLIN.—A purified, fatty secretion (cholesterin-fat) of sheep's wool. It is a normal secretion in wool, and also in the skin, nails and keratinous tissues generally. It is considered valuable as a base for ointments; being more permanent than the glycerin-fats, and much more readily absorbed, and on this account it is a valuable vehicle when medication is to be affected through the skin, while on the other hand, it would seem objectionable on this account when an active medicine is intended to act only locally. The pliancy of lanoline ointments is increased by the addition of 20 per cent, of lard, or made firmer by tallow, without affecting their other qualities. MJENTHOZ — That which is procured by the fractional distillation from oil of peppermint has been named Pipmenthol. The Japanese or Chinese menthol is said to be the product of Mentha arvensis, var. piperascens, a plant allied to Mentha cana- densis, L. The menthol cones are made by pouring melted pure menthol into the desired shaped tin moulds, and allowing it to crystallize at a low temperature (usually in an ice-chest) for 12 hours. According to MacDonald menthol has double the anti- septic properties of carbolic acid. A solution of 1 in 1,000 part* of water destroys the lower organisms. OSMIC ACID ; Tetroxide of Osmium.— A volatile, strongly- odorous, crystalline compound, produced by the action of hydro- chloric acid on osmium or either of its lower oxides. Its vapor is very pungent and poisonous. Osmate of Potassium, a purple, crystalline powder, is g ntrally preferred, as being more man- ageable. Both are used for the same purposes, and in the same dose. They have been used in a one per cent, solution by In eit- her, hypodermically in peripheral neuralgia. Me-hr us- d it in ischiatic rheumatism. Szumann and Eulenburg recommend parenchymals injection in goitre. Delbastille injects in sar- coma and lymphoma. PANCPEATIN. — It is a grayish-white powder, obtained from the pancreas of the hog. It'has been used in the -various- forms of indigestion, and in chlorosis, anaemia, hy-teria. etc., in combination withironandthecinchf.na alkaloids wi;h apparent success. Gehe & Co., in their Circular, Sept., 1885, state that it isin very feeble demand, b.'injr reported as altogether without value, an 1 destroyed by the acid contents of the stomach. It is given in the dose of 10 to 20 grains, several times a day, alter meals. In the diarrhoea of infants, it is best given in sweetened milk. PAPAYOTIN— A vegetable digestive ferment obtained from the juice of the fruit of fh» melon-tree or Papaw (C< !r ; ca Pnpaya,Jj.). It has been used with satisfactory results in dis- solving the exudation in membranous croup and diphtheria. A solution of about 1 part of Papayotin, dissolved in 5 parts, each, of Glycerin and Wnter, may" be applied hourly to the diphtheritic" membrane. It is considered useless in the infil- trated form. It has also been recommended in dyspepsia, from 1 to 5 grains may be taken after meals. 188 NEW REMEDIES. PA.JtA-COTOIN.-K crystalline principle from Coto Bark. It is less active and less soluble than Cotoin, and may be viewed to bear the same relation to Cotoin that Cinchonine does to Quinine. The dose is variously stated, as is the case with Cotoin, but may be set down at 1% to 3 grains (0.1 — 0.2 Gm.).— See Cotoin, p. 41. PARALDEHYDE.— A polymeric modification of Alde- hyde ; a colorless liquid, above 51° F., of a peculiar ethereal odor. Sp. gr. 0.998. It boils at about 225° F., soluble in 8 parts of water at 52° F., sparingly soluble in warm water. It is used as an anodyne and hypnotic. It does not paralyze the heart. The dose is from 30, 60 to 90 grains. It is not so persistent in its action as Chloral, but safer. A mixture of 30 or 60 grains of Paraldehyde, with Mucilage of Acacia and Syrup of Orange, each, 5 fl. drachms, and Water 10 fl. drachms, may be taken at one dose. It has been used in rheumatism, hysteria, dementia paralytica, and in ordinary insomnia. PELLETIERINE.— In the bark of the root, as well as in the stem of Punica G-ranatum, L. are found 4 alkaloids : Pelle- tierine (Punicine), Isopelletierine, Methylpelletierine and Pseu- dopelletierine. Only the first two possess taeniafuge properties. They are uncrystallizable, and are separated with difficulty, so the combination is simply known as Pelletierine, in commerce. The salts of this, the sulphate and the tannate, are chiefly used. The sulphate is a syrupy liquid, and is sometimes sold in a 10 per cent, solution of 4 grammes, containing 0.4 grammes of the sulphate — sufficient for one case of tape-worm. The sulphate is best given in the following formula: Pelletierine Sulphate 6 grains, Tannic Acid 8 grains, Distilled Water 1 fl. oz. To be taken at one dose, or in two portions, in the course of half an hour. A glass of water should be swallowed immediately after the medicine, and followed in half an hour by 2% drachms of Senna in infusion, flavored with Syrup of Orange. PELLETIETtlNE TANNATE. -A dry powder, is given in the dose of 24 grains (1.5 Gm.) in one or two portions, followed in half an hour by a cathartic dose of Senna. Pelletierine is said to augment the blood-pressure, and should therefore be given with caution to patients troubled with Aneurism. QUINTESSENTIAL OILS.— Schimmel & Co., Leipsic, Germany, (Fritzsche Brothers, New York), introduced these oils. They say, " Almost all essential oils are composed of two sepa- rate and distinct constituents, one of which is highly aromatic, and the more soluble part to which we have given the commer- cial name of 'Quintessential Oils,' and where chemists have already adopted a name [Anethol, Carvol, etc.], we have added the same. The other component, being less soluble and having but a faint ©dor, is eliminated. The separation of volatile oils into these components presents one of the grandest achieve- ments of modern chemistry." Their present list (which will be further supplemented) consists of the following, with wholesale prices per pound: — Oil of Anise (Anethol), $4.50; do., non plus ultra, $5.00; Oil of Calamus, $10.00; Oil of Caraway (Carvol), *4.25; Oil of Cassia, $5.00; Oil of Coriander. $20.00; Eucalyptus (Eucalyptol), $7.50; Oil of Ginger, $20.00; Oil of Juniper Berries (Juniperol), $6.00; Oil of Peppermint, liquid, $24.00; in crystals (Menthol), $7.00 ; Oil of Sassafras (Safrolj, $0.44; Oil of Thyme, crystals (Thymol), $7.00. HESOECIN.— Prepared from phenol-sulphonic acid, or by melting galbanum, ammoniac, etc., with potassa. It is in rhom- bic prisms or plates, and dissolves in 1% parts of water, less freely in alcohol. The claims held out for it as an antipyretic have not been sustained. Principally used as a caustic in syphiitic and tuberculous ulcers, epithelioma, and some forms of skin diseases. More recently it has been recommended in cases of septic, acute, and chronic diarrhoea. With the aid of heat 15 grains of Besorcin are dissolved in castor oil and given at one dose. Children one-fourth the amount. Totenbofer gives a teaspoonful of a solution (1 part to 60 of infusion of chamomile), to children, every 2 hours, in cholera infantum. SACCECABIN.—A coal-tar derivative of the benzol series, lately discovered by Constantine Fahlberg, of New York. Chem- ically it is an anhydrous acid, and named Orthosulphamin- benzoicAcid. It should not be confounded with the chemical heretofore known as Saccharin, (the anhydride of saccharic acid). Fahlberg's Saccharin is a white, crystalline substance, " soluble in 500 parts of water, and has, even when dissolved in 10,000 parts of water, an intensely sweet taste and almond-like odor. It has been proposed for sweetening medicines and food, as it is considered perfectly harmless— at least in the high dilu- tions that are necessary for sweetening purposes. Having an acid constitution, it may be mixed with alkaloids, as Dr.L. Wolff claims ; with quinine, for instance, forming a sulphamin- benzoate of quinine, the bitter taste of the alkaloid being almost ■completely masked. SAFHOL.— Owing to the frequent adulteration of oil of -sassafras, Schimmel & Co., of Leipsic, prepare the pure stearop- tene of the oil, known as Safrol. It is the real aromatic prin- ciple of the oil, and forms about nine-tenths of it. But Schimmel Jb Co. prepare their Safrol from Japanese Oil of Camphor. It is NEW REMEDIES. a colorless liquid, but congeals at a moderately cool temperature. Sp. gr. 1.108. It may be used for all purposes where the oil of sassafras is employed. As a by-product the manufacturers obtain a large amount of light Oil of Camphor, which may be used for dissolving gum-resins, caoutchouc, and as a cleansing material for removing grease, paint, hardened printers' ink, etc., and more readily than with oil of turpentine, and being less inflam- mable than the latter or benzine. It is offered, wholesale, at 10 cents a pound. SALOL; Salicylate oj Phenylic Ether. — A substitution pro- duct, one H being replaced by the radical phenyl in salicylic acid. A white, crystalline powder, having a faint odor of oil of wintergreen, but little taste. Almost insoluble in water; soluble in alcohol, ether, and benzine. Favorable results have been reported from its use in rheumatism. It is said to be borne well by the stomach, and is not split up into salicylic acid and phenol until it has reached the duodenum, and come in contact with the pancreatic secretion. The dose of Salol, like that of salicylic acid, varies considerably, according to the nature of the case, but may be given to the extent of 2 drachms (8.0 Gm.) •during a day. It has been given in migraine, lumbago, chronic articular rheumatism, neuralgia, diabetes, catarrh of the blad- der, etc. The commencing dose for a phthisical patient should not be above 8 grains, or there may result too great a fall of temperature. SANTONIN ATE OF CALCIUM. — A white powder, insoluble in water. It is said not to be absorbed by the stomach to scarcely any extent, and therefore acts more powerfully as .an anthelmintic. Dose, % of a grain (0.05 Gm.). SCOPARIN and SPARTEINE.— Two active principles from Spartium Scoparium L. (Sarothamnus Scoparius, Koch). Sco- parin is neutral or somewhat acid, amorphous, or in stellate crystals, slightly soluble in water ; freely in alcohol and glycerin. It is considered the diuretic principle of Broom, and may be «iven in the dose of % to 1 grain ; best hypodermically, dissolved in water, with the aid. of a little ammonia. SPARTEINE is an oily liquid, colorless when pure and fresh, having a strongly alkaline reaction, rapidly changing under the influence of light and air to a yellow and brown color. It represents the narcotic principle of the plant. The Sulphate of Sparteine has been introduced as a substitute for Digitalis, as a heart-tonic, and is considered superior to the latter by Dr. Germain See, of Paris, while Dr. Shattuck, of Boston, found its use inconclusive. The dose named is ^ to % of a grain, or 30 •drops of a 2 per cent, solution ; hypodermically, half that amount. T ANN ATE OF MERCURY.— It was first prepared (1884) by Dr. Lustgarten, of Vienna, and tried in Dr. Kaposi's clinic, in syphilis. The dose is 1% grains (0.1 Gm.), 3 to 4 times a day. It is said to act mildly, owing to the separation of mercury in minute globules in the intestines. A laxative effect should be icorrected by opium. TERPIN-SYDR ATE.— It is prepared by the action of nitric acid on oil of turpentine in the presence of alcohol. It is in the form of large, tasteless (some say "slightly nauseous) and inodorous crystals, soluble in 200 parts of water, and in about 7 of alcohol. In its action it is somewhat similar, but more active, than oil of turpentine. It has been recommended in bronchial affection, as an expectorant, in the dose of % to 1% grains. In larger doses, 3 to 10 grains, it is said to suppress ex- pectoration, and may be used in bronchorrhcea. It is best given in a weak alcoholic solution, and may be mixed with a suitable syrup. THAHINE. — A derivative of Paraoxychinoline. It forms salts with acids. The sulphate and tartrate of Thalline have been used as antipyretics. Both salts are soluble in water, and are bost given dissolved in water or wine, or in syrup of wild cherry. The dose is 3 to 5 grains, 3 to 5 times a day, at an inter- val of an hour between each dose. URETH.ANE; Ethyl^urethane ; Carbamate of Ethyl.— In white crystals of a peculiar taste, readily soluble in water. It should be odorless. The dose, as at first stated, 5 to 15 grains, as a hyp- notic, is now considered too small to be depended upon, and 30 to 60 grains are administered. It may be given in powder, or -dissolved in water with suitable corrigents, especially for deli- cate persons and children. It is claimed to have the advantage over Paraldehyde in being easily taken and well borne by the natient. INDEX OF ENGLISH TERMS AND LATIN SYNONYMS.
