PREFACE 
 
 The original Standard Formulary has been so extensively 
 revised and greatly enlarged that the present edition is more than 
 double the former size. 
 
 The first part contains a vast collection of so-called pharma- 
 ceutical or galenical preparations. It includes all the formulas 
 of the United States Pharmacopoeia, the National Formulary, the 
 Eclectic Dispensatory, the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia, the Cin- 
 cinnati Academy of Pharmacy, the British Pharmacopeia, the 
 British Formulary, the German Pharmacopeia, the Thomsonian 
 preparations, Rademacher's preparations, and Kneipp's remedies ; 
 also many from the Austrian Pharmacopeia, the German For- 
 mulary, the Swedish, Danish and Norwegian Pharmacopeias, the 
 French Codex, from formularies of several American hospitals, 
 and of the London Throat Hospital ; also the best afforded by 
 Hager's and Dietrich's manuals, as well as many other formulas 
 which are considered practical and useful and have received the 
 sanction of good authority. In this part are included formulas 
 for articles of surgical use, such as medicated cottons, gauzes, 
 ligatures, etc., also dermatic varnishes and pastes, and many of 
 Unna's and Lassar's preparations. 
 
 Part II includes the vast array of preparations for Domestic 
 and Veterinary use which pharmacists are expected to keep put 
 up ready for counter sale. Whatever information regarding dis- 
 eased conditions is necessary to enable the pharmacist to make 
 intelligent selections from the formulas here offered is also in- 
 cluded. 
 
 Part III includes the so-called Patent Medicines, the Phar- 
 maceutical Preparations, and the Synthetic Remedies. These 
 three classes, while not similar, frequently bear similar titles, and 
 are for this reason more appropriately placed together than in 
 separate divisions. The arrangement is entirely alphabetical. 
 
 Part IV is a comprehensive treatise on Perfumes and Toilet 
 Articles. A great deal of attention is paid to the chemistry 
 of volatile oils, the isolated principles of these oils, and the 
 various synthetics used in the manufacture of perfumery prod- 
 ucts. As many reliable formulas as possible, mentioning these 
 synthetics, for perfumery articles, are included. 
 
Part V contains a choice collection of formulas from the 
 Manual of Soda and Other Beverages. 
 
 Part VI includes all remaining formulas which will prove 
 of service to the pharmacist, such as shoe blackings, inks, polishes, 
 and everything else of whatsoever nature the druggist deals or 
 wishes to know about. This part is therefore not the least 
 useful of all. 
 
 Whenever possible, the formulas in the different parts have 
 been arranged in alphabetical order. A copious index is also 
 provided. 
 
 All information that has ever been furnished in the pamphlets 
 and treatises by the various departments at Washington, par- 
 ticularly the Department of Agriculture, has been utilized to the 
 fullest possible extent in this book. A large amount of valuable 
 information has been derived from this source. 
 
 Attention is called to the completeness of the various intro- 
 ductories to each primary topic. 
 
 The quantities of all formulas have been adapted to the 
 usual needs of retail pharmacists, these quantities being such 
 even amounts as a pint, half-gallon, gallon, etc. 
 
 Formulas taken from foreign sources have been recast so 
 as to eliminate the weighing of liquids and to reduce or change 
 the amounts to these even quantities. 
 
 Owing to the greater familiarity of druggists in this country 
 with the avoirdupois system of weights, troy weights and the 
 metric system have been discarded. 
 
 The reformed spelling has been adopted in designating 
 chemical names, such as iodin for iodine, sulfur for sulphur, 
 chlorid for chloride, sulfid for sulphide, etc. 
 
 A. E. HISS. 
 
 The above, written by Professor Hiss, one of the authors of 
 the First Edition of the New Standard Formulary, applies equally 
 to this, the Fifth Edition. The present edition has been revised 
 to correspond with all Pharmacopoeias and Official Formularies, 
 published since the date of the first edition.

Part I. 
 
 PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS 
 
 Abstracts. 
 
 These preparations were introduced 
 into the United States Pharmacopeia of 
 1880, but were dropped from the edition 
 of 1890. They are still used to some 
 extent ; ,the following is a general proc- 
 ess for their manufacture : 
 
 Drug, No. 60 powder av.oz. 8 
 
 Menstruum, 
 t Powdered sugar of milk, each.. 
 
 sufficient 
 
 Moisten the drug with menstruum, 
 and pack, macerate, and extract in the 
 usual way for making fluid extracts, re- 
 serving the first 6^4 fluidounces of per- 
 colate obtained and continuing percola- 
 tion until the drug is exhausted. Evap- 
 orate the second percolate, at a temper- 
 ature not exceeding 50 degrees C, to 
 1% fluidounces; mix this with the re- 
 serve percolate, place the whole in a 
 broad evaporating dish or other suitable 
 vessel; add 4 av. ounces of milk sugar, 
 mix well, cover the vessel with a piece 
 of thin muslin gauze to exclude dust, 
 and set the whole aside in a warm place, 
 where the temperature will not rise 
 above 50 degrees C, until the mixture 
 is dry. Then add enough milk sugar to 
 make the whole weigh 4 av. ounces, re- 
 duce the whole to a uniform fine pow- 
 der, and keep in a well-stoppered bottle. 
 
 Essentially, therefore, the process of 
 manufacture consists in making a fluid 
 extract, evaporating this to a dry solid 
 extract, and adding enough milk sugar 
 to make up a quantity of one-half of 
 the weight of the original drug. 
 
 Eleven abstracts were official, viz., aco- 
 nite, belladonna (root), conium (fruit), 
 digitalis, henbane (leaves), ignatia, ja- 
 lap, nux vomica, podophyllum, senega 
 and valerian. The menstruum usually 
 employed in extracting the drugs was 
 alcohol, the exceptions being nux vom- 
 
 ica and ignatia, in which the menstruum 
 was a mixture of alcohol and water in 
 the proportion of eight of the former to 
 one of the latter, and conium, in which 
 the first four fluidounces of alcohol used 
 as menstruum is mixed with three 
 fluidrams of diluted hydrochloric acid. 
 Abernethy's Remedies. 
 
 Abernethy was a celebrated English 
 physician who placed great reliance on 
 the mercury treatment, his favorite pre- 
 scription being a 5-grain blue mass pill 
 at night, to be followed by 1 to 1^ 
 fluidounces of black draught (compound 
 infusion of senna). 
 
 The composition of the pill was 
 changed subsequently but was finally 
 settled at 3 gr. of blue mass with 2 gr. 
 of compound extract of colocynth. This 
 is what should be given when Aber- 
 nethy's pills are demanded, although 
 sometimes a 5-gr. pill composed of 2 
 parts of compound extract of colocynth 
 and 1 part of blue mass is used. 
 
 This is also used as Abernethy's pill: 
 
 Socotrine aloes gr. 2 
 
 Extract of henbane gr. 2 
 
 Blue mass gr. 1 
 
 Ipecac gr. 5/6 
 
 Acid, Acetic, Diluted. 
 
 Acetic acid » . . . av.oz. 1 
 
 Distilled water av.oz. 5 
 
 Both ingredients are to be weighed. 
 The acid employed should be of the 
 U. S. P. strength, viz., 36 per cent, of 
 absolute acid. A weaker acid may be 
 used as well as a stronger one, in the 
 one case using less water for dilution, 
 in the other more, so that the product 
 contains 6 per cent, of absolute acid. — 
 U. S. P. 
 Acid, Carbolic, Liquefied. 
 
 Liquefy the acid by placing the un- 
 stoppered container in a water bath and 
 heat gradually until the crystals are

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 melted ; transfer the liquid to a tared 
 vessel and weigh, and to every 9 parts 
 by weight add one part of distilled wa- 
 ter, and mix thoroughly.— U. S. P. 
 
 The liquefied acid of the Germ. 
 Pharm. differs from this only in being 
 made from 10 parts of acid to one part 
 of water. 
 
 Acid, Carbolic, No. 33. 
 
 This is a dilution of carbolic acid 
 recommended by the Cleveland Phar- 
 maceutical Association as more conveni- 
 ent and safe to use than liquefied car- 
 bolic acid, i.e., crystal carbolic acid 
 melted and maintained in a liquid state 
 by the addition of 5 per cent, of water, 
 alcohol, or glycerin. It was directed to 
 be prepared as follows : 
 
 Carbolic acid, crystal. . 
 
 av.oz. 2 or fl.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 5 or fl.oz. 4 
 
 Melt the acid and add the glycerin. 
 
 This No. S3 acid mixes readily with 
 water in all proportions, and, not being 
 as caustic as the ordinary liquefied acid, 
 cannot result in as much mischief or 
 fatality if used improperly, or if taken 
 accidentally or purposely. 
 
 In Chicago the sale of a 33 1/3 per 
 cent, acid consisting of equal parts of 
 liquefied carbolic acid, alcohol and gly- 
 cerin is permitted by a city ordinance. 
 
 Acid, Carbolic, Camphorated. (Phe- 
 nol Camphor. — Carbolized Cam- 
 phor. — Camphorated Phenol.) 
 
 Camphor, coarse powder, .av.oz. 10 
 
 Carbolic acid, crystal av.oz. 3 l / 2 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. y 2 
 
 Triturate together until an oily liquid 
 is obtained, or mix in a bottle and agi- 
 tate frequently until solution occurs. 
 
 Acid, Carbolic, Iodized. (Phenol 
 Iodatum. — Idoized Phenol.) 
 
 Iodin, reduced to powder, .av.oz. 1 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 3 
 
 Carbolic acid av.oz. 1 
 
 Put the iodin into a flask, add the 
 acid, previously melted, then the gly- 
 cerin, and digest the mixture at a gentle 
 heat, frequently agitating, until the iodin 
 is dissolved. 
 
 Keep the product in glass-stoppered 
 vials, in a dark place. 
 
 The above is used as a local applica- 
 tion in uterine and skin diseases. A 
 modified form is the so-called carbolate 
 of iodin inhalant. — N. F. 
 Acid, Hydrobromic, Diluted. 
 
 This preparation is recognized by the 
 U. S. P. which, however, gives no proc- 
 ess for it. It may be prepared as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 Potassium bromid av.oz. 3 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 2>Va 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Dissolve the salt and acid each sepa- 
 rately in 8 fluidounces of water, then 
 mix the solutions, put the mixture in a 
 cold place, preferably on ice, for about 
 12 hours, then decant the clear liquid, 
 and filter it. 
 
 The product contains 10 per cent, of 
 absolute hydrobromic acid. There is also 
 some cream of tartar which is unob- 
 jectionable in most instances but at 
 times may interfere with its usefulness. 
 A superior product is obtained by 
 Squibb's process, the mixing of solution 
 of potassium bromid and sulfuric acid, 
 allowing the potassium sulfate to cry- 
 stallize out, and then distilling. 
 
 The product should be kept in glass- 
 stoppered bottles, protected from light 
 
 Acid, Hydrochloric, Diluted. (Dilu- 
 ted Muriatic Acid.) 
 
 Hydrochloric acid fl.oz. 4^ 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 11^2 
 
 Or mix in the proportion of 5 av. 
 ounces and 11 av.ounces. — U. S. P. 
 Keep in glass-stoppered bottles. 
 The acid used for the above should 
 be a c. p. article corresponding in 
 strength to the U. S. P. If weaker, 
 more of it or proportionately less water 
 should be employed. The diluted acid 
 should contain 10 per cent, by weight of 
 absolute acid. 
 
 Acid, Hydrocyanic, Diluted. (Prus- 
 sic Acid.) 
 
 I. 
 
 The U. S. P. VIII states that it may be 
 prepared extemporaneously as follow*: 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 13 
 
 
 Silver cyanid gr. 54 
 
 Diluted hydrochloric acid. . .fl.dr. 2^ 
 
 Distilled water fl.dr. 7 
 
 Mix the acid and water, add the silver 
 cyanid and shake the whole together in 
 a glass-stoppered bottle. When the pre- 
 cipitate has subsided, pour off the clear 
 liquid. 
 
 The product contains not less than 2 
 per cent, by weight of absolute acid. 
 U. S. P. IX gives no process but gives 
 the strength as 1.9% to 2.1%. 
 
 This preparation should be kept in 
 small, dark amber-colored, cork-stopper- 
 ed bottles in a cool place. 
 
 The U. S. P. 1890 gave another more 
 elaborate process for this preparation, 
 which is here given. 
 II. 
 
 Potassium ferrocyanid, coarse 
 powder gr. 300 
 
 Sulfuric acid fl.dr. 2 
 
 Water fl.dr. 17 
 
 Distilled water, sufficient. 
 
 Place the potassium salt in a tubulated 
 retort and add to it 10 fluidrams of 
 water. Connect the neck of the retort 
 (which is to be directed upward) by 
 means of a bent tube with a well-cooled 
 condenser, the delivery tube of which 
 terminates in a receiver, surrounded by 
 ice-cold water, containing 17 fluidrams 
 of distilled water. All the joints of the 
 apparatus, with exception of the neck 
 of the receiver, having been made air- 
 tight by means of well-fitting corks, 
 pour into the retort through the tubu- 
 lure the sulfuric acid previously di- 
 luted with 6]/ 2 fluidrams of water. Gent- 
 ly mix the contents of the retort, and 
 then heat it in a sand bath so as to keep 
 the liquid in brisk ebullition until about 
 one-half of its volume has passed into 
 the receiver. Detach the receiver and 
 assay a small portion of the contents by 
 the method given below. Then add to 
 the remainder so much distilled water 
 as may be required to bring the product 
 to the strength of 2 per cent, by weight 
 of absolute acid. 
 
 The sulfuric acid used must be of U. 
 S. P. quality, i. e., of 98 per cent, 
 strength, free from arsenic, etc. If 
 weaker than 98 per cent., more of it 
 must be used and correspondingly less 
 water. 
 
 The assay process for the above is as 
 follows: Mix in a flask, about 100 c. c. 
 capacity, 0.27 gm. of the distillate with 
 sufficient distilled water and light mag- 
 nesia to make an opaque mixture of 
 about 10 c. c. Add to this 2 or 3 drops 
 of potassium chromate test solution U. 
 S. P., and then from a burette silver 
 nitrate decinormal volumetric solution 
 until a red tint is produced which does 
 not again disappear on shaking. Each 
 c. c. of silver solution used indicates 1 
 per cent of absolute hydrocyanic acid. 
 
 Acid, Hydrocyanic, Scheele's. 
 
 This is to be prepared from potassium 
 ferrocyanid and sulfuric acid according 
 to the process of the U. S. P., but in- 
 creasing the quantity of the ingredients . 
 proportionately. It should contain 4 per - 
 cent, of absolute hydrocyanic acid. — 
 Brit. Form. 
 Acid, Hydrofluoric, Diluted. 
 
 This is to contain 1/5 per cent, of ab- 
 solute hydrofluoric acid. — Brit. Form. 
 Acid, Hypophosphorous. 
 
 According to the U. S. P., this con- 
 tains 30 to 32% by weight of absolute 
 hypophosphorous acid and 70 per cent, of 
 water. The U. S. P. gives no process 
 for making it but one is given by the 
 N. F. Ill and the Brit. Form., both of 
 which are here given : 
 I. 
 
 Potassium hypophosphite. .av.oz. 9 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 12^4 
 
 Diluted alcohol. 
 
 Distilled water, each, sufficient. 
 
 Dissolve the potassium salt in 9 fluid- 
 ounces ,of water, previously warmed 
 and the tartaric acid in 17 fluidounces 
 of diluted alcohol. Mix the solutions in 
 a flask of sufficient capacity to permit 
 agitation, cork and shake well, and set 
 the flask in a bath, of ice water for 12 
 
1 1 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 hours. Then carefully pour the mixture 
 into a funnel, the neck of which has 
 been closed with a pledget of cotton, 
 and when all the liquid has drained off, 
 rinse the flask and wash the crystalline 
 precipitate in the funnel with small por- 
 tions of cold diluted alcohol unitl the 
 washings no longer respond to the tests 
 for hypophosphorous acid (black precip- 
 itate with silver nitrate or white precipi- 
 tate with mercuric chlorid). Mix the 
 original filtrate and the washings, and 
 evaporate the whole on a water bath at 
 a temperature not exceeding 60 degrees 
 C. until all the alcohol has been dissi- 
 pated. Allow the liquid to cool and add 
 enough distilled water to make the prod- 
 uct weigh 18 av. ounces. This meas- 
 ures about 16 fluidounces. 
 
 It should be preserved in well-stop- 
 pered bottles. 
 
 II. 
 
 Barium hypophosphite, contain- 
 ing not less than 95 p. c. 
 Ba. (H 2 P 2 ) 2 av.oz. 8 
 
 Diluted sulfuric acid, 
 
 Distilled water, each, sufficient. 
 
 Dissolve the barium salt in 36 fluid- 
 ounces of hot distilled water, add 22^/^, 
 fluidounces of diluted sulfuric acid, 
 after which continue the addition of 
 more acid, drop by drop, until no furth- 
 er turbidity is produced. Set aside in a 
 warm place and filter the clear liquid. 
 Wash the precipitate by decantation with 
 successive portions of water until the 
 washings are no longer acid, filter, unite 
 the filtrates, and evaporate the combined 
 liquid on a water bath until it has the 
 sp. gr. of 1.1367. — Brit. Form. 
 
 The product will weigh about 11^2 
 av. ounces, and contain 30 per cent, of 
 absolute acid. 
 
 Acid, Hypophosphorous, Diluted. 
 
 According to the U. S. P. this prep- 
 aration contains 9.5 to 10.5% by weight 
 of absolute hypophosphorous acid and is 
 directed to be made by maxing 1 part 
 by weight of the 30 per cent, acid with 
 2 parts of distilled water. 
 
 Acid, Metaphosphoric, Diluted. (Di- 
 luted Glacial Phosphoric Acid.) 
 
 Phosphoric acid, glacial gr. 365 
 
 Distilled water, to make. . .fl.oz. 8 
 Dissolve the acid in the water, with- 
 out heat. 
 
 This preparation should be kept in a 
 cool ancl dark place, and should not be 
 prepared in larger quantity than may be 
 consumed within a few months. 
 
 The resulting product contains about 
 10 per cent, of metaphosphoric acid, 
 provided the glacial acid was free from 
 impurities. That which is sold in form 
 of glassy lumps is usually of sufficient 
 purity. The variety in form of round 
 sticks is more or less impure, containing 
 generally more than 15 per cent, of 
 sodium phosphate. If this variety is 
 alone available, a proportionately larger 
 quantity must be taken, to be determin- 
 ed, if time permits, by an assay of the 
 free acid present. If no special accur- 
 acy is required, about 420 grains of this 
 variety of the acid may be reckoned to 
 be equivalent to the quantity directed in 
 the above given formula. 
 
 Whenever iron pyrophosphate (U. S. 
 P. or scale) forms one of the ingredi- 
 ents of a mixture containing diluted 
 phosphoric acid, the official tribasic acid 
 is unsuitable, as it produces with the 
 salt a gelatinous precipitate. If a clear 
 mixture is required, the above prepara- 
 tion is to be used in place of the official. 
 The same may be done when iron phos- 
 phate (U. S. P. or scale) is prescribed, 
 though the precipitate caused by the offi- 
 cial acid in this case is not as bulky, and 
 under certain conditions may not form 
 at all. It must also be remembered, 
 however, that the glacial acid is itself 
 incompatible with certain other sub- 
 stances.— N. F. III. 
 
 Acid, Nitric, Diluted. 
 
 Nitric acid fl.oz. i l / 2 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 12^2

 The acid should be of U. S. P. quality 
 and strength; if weaker, more should be 
 employed and correspondingly less 
 water. The product should contain 10

 Mix the acids in a capacious glass 
 vessel and, when effervescence has ceas- 
 ed, transfer the product to dark amber- 
 colored, glass-stoppered bottles which 
 should not be more than half filled and 
 keep them in a cool place. — U. S. P.

 vessel and, when effervescence has ceas- 
 ed, add the water. Keep the product in 
 dark amber-colored, glass-stoppered bot- 
 tles in a cool place. — U. S. P. 
 
 The acids should be of the U. S. P. 
 quality and strength, viz., nitric acid 68 
 per cent, of absolute acid and the hydro- 
 chloric acid 31.9 per cent. If somewhat 
 weaker acids be at hand, more must be 
 employed and a proportionately smaller 
 amount of water. 
 
 Acid, Phosphoric, Diluted. 
 
 Phosphoric acid fl.dr. 9 
 
 v'Vater, distilled fl.oz. 14^2 
 
 Or mix in the proportion of 2 av. 
 ounces and 15 av. ounces. 
 
 Keep in well-stoppered bottles. 
 
 The phosphoric acid of the U. S. P. 
 contains 85 per cent, of absolute acid. 
 If a weaker acid be employed, more of 
 it must be used, and correspondingly 
 less water. A 50 per cent, acid is quite 
 common; this may be used in the pro- 
 portion of 2 fluidounces of acid and 
 io^4 fluidounces of water, or 1 av. 
 ounce and 4 av. ounces. 
 
 The diluted acid should contain 9.5 to 
 10.5% of absolute acid.— U. S. P.

 16 fluidounces. — U. S. P. 
 
 Preserve in glass-stoppered bottles. 
 
 The product contains 20 per cent, of 
 absolute acid by weight providing fuli 
 strength acid, 92^ per cent., was used 
 in making it. 
 
 The preparation of the Brit. Pharm. 
 contains about 15 per cent, of absolute 
 acid, that of the 1st Germ. Pharm. (not 
 mentioned in later editions) contained 
 about 4 per cent, of absolute acid. 
 
 Acid, Sulfurous. 
 
 Sulfuric acid fl.oz. 2 
 
 Wood charcoal, coarse powder

 Introduce the charcoal into a glass 
 flask having a capacity of about 16 fluid- 
 ounces, add the acid, and mix well. 
 Connect the flask by means of bent 
 glass tubing, about 20 inches long, with 
 a wash bottle having a capacity of about 
 8 fluidounces, containing about 2 fluid- 
 ounces of water, so that the end of the 
 inlet tube shall be below the surface of 
 the water. Through the triply perfor- 
 ated rubber stopper of the wash bottle 
 pass a safety tube, which should reach 
 nearly to the bottom of the bottle, and 
 connect the latter by means of glass tub- 
 ing with a bottle provided with a doubly 
 perforated rubber stopper, having a 
 capacity of about 32 fluidounces and con- 
 taining 16 fluidounces of well-cooled 
 distilled water. The inlet tube should 
 dip about 1 inch below the surface of 
 the distilled water. By means of a 
 second tube connect this bottle with an- 
 other containing water, the end of the 
 
16 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 tube extending 2 inches below the sur- 
 face of the water. Having ascertained 
 that all the connections are air-tight, 
 apply a moderate heat to the flask con- 
 taining the acid and charcoal, until the 
 evolution of gas has nearly ceased, and 
 during the passage of the gas, keep the 
 bottle containing the distilled water at 
 or below 10 degrees C. by surrounding 
 it with cold water or ice. Assay a 
 small portion of the sulfurous acid by 
 the method given below. Then add to 
 the remainder enough distilled water to 
 bring the product to the strength of 6.4 
 per cent by weight of sulfur dioxid. 
 
 Finally pour the sulfurous acid into 
 dark amber-colored, glass-stoppered bot- 
 tles which should be compeltely filled, 
 and kept in a cool place, protected from 
 light.— U. S. P. VIII. 
 
 Owing to its rapid deterioration, sul- 
 furous acid should be frequently assay- 
 ed, and none should be dispensed if it 
 fails to conform to the assay given be- 
 low. 
 
 The wash bottle retains the sulfuric 
 acid which is carried over mechanically, 
 also some of the sulfur dioxid, while 
 the distilled water in the receiving bot- 
 tle becomes a saturated solution of the 
 sulfur dioxid, probably containing also 
 some carbon dioxid. 
 
 The sulfuric acid used for this prep- 
 aration should be chemically pure but 
 need not be U. S. P. strength, as low 
 as a 75 per cent, acid serving the pur- 
 pose but somewhat more of it should 
 be employed. 
 
 This preparation may also be made by 
 heating together metallic copper with 
 sulfuric acid, copper sulfate and sulfur 
 dioxid being formed. 
 
 The U. S. P. describes the prepara- 
 tion as an aqueous solution containing 
 not less than 6 per cent, by weight of 
 sulfur dioxid, but the strength men- 
 tioned in the assay is 6.4 per cent. 
 
 Assay Process : Introduce into a 
 stoppered weighing-bottle 2 c. c. of sul- 
 furous acid and weigh accurately. To 
 this add .so c. c. tenth-normal volumetric 
 
 solution of iodin and allow it to stand 
 for 5 minutes, then slowly add tenth- 
 normal volumetric solution, of sodium 
 thiosulfate until the mixture is just de- 
 colorized. Subtract the number of c. c. 
 of the sodium thiosulfate solution used 
 from 50, and mulitply the difference by 
 0.318 and divide this product by the 
 weight of the acid taken : the quotient 
 represents the percentage of absolute 
 sulfurous acid in the latter. 
 
 Alcohol. 
 
 Alcohol, meaning thereby ethyl alco- 
 hol, is used in different strengths, some 
 of these strengths having received spe- 
 cific titles and are recognized authorita- 
 tively. 
 
 Alcohol (U. S. P.).— This contains 
 92.3 per cent, by weight or 94.9 per cent, 
 by volume of absolute alcohol and has 
 a specific gravity at 60 degrees F. of 
 0.816 or at J7 degrees F. of 0.809. 
 
 Diluted Alcohol (U. S. P.).— This 
 may be made by mixing equal volumes 
 of alcohol and distilled water, or by 
 mixing the alcohol and water in the 
 proportions of 41 and 50 by weight. 
 The product contains about 41.5 per 
 cent, by weight or about 48.9 per 
 cent, by volume of absolute alcohol, the 
 apparent discrepancy in strength being 
 due to contraction in volume which oc- 
 curs when alcohol and water are mixed, 
 20 volumes of alcohol mixed with the 
 same measure of water forming but 
 about 39 volumes of mixture. 
 
 Absolute Alcohol (U. S. P. and Brit. 
 Pharm.). — This should contain at least 
 99 per cent, by weight of absolute alco- 
 hol (about 99.4 per cent, by volume). 
 
 Ordinary alcohol may be made strong- 
 er by macerating it with dried copper 
 sulfate and filtering, or by macerating 
 with freshly-burnt lime for 24 hours, 
 decanting the liquid, and distilling off 
 about three-fourths of the latter. 
 
 Deodorized Alcohol (U. S. P. 1800). 
 — This differed from ordinary alcohol 
 in being somewhat stronger (92^2 per 
 cent, by weight or 95.1 per cent by 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS.

 volume of absolute alcohol) and in hav- 
 ing been deprived of certain foreign 
 constituents contained in the latter. The 
 commercial "cologne spirits" is a de- 
 odorized alcohol but is usually not up 
 to the requirements of the U. S. P. 
 Alcohol of the present pharmacopeia 
 is practically equal to the deodorized 
 alcohol of the U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 Many methods for deodorizing alcohol 
 have been recommended, but the follow- 
 ing will be found satisfactory: 
 
 A convenient amount of alcohol is 
 shaken with powdered potassium per- 
 manganate until it assumes a decided 
 color. Then allow to stand for several 
 hours until the permanganate has be- 
 come decomposed, and brown man- 
 ganese dioxid has deposited. A small 
 amount, say V\ ounce, of pulverized 
 calcium carbonate should then be added, 
 and the whole subjected to distillation, 
 using a well-cooled receiver. Distil 
 very slowly at first, testing the distillate 
 frequently, until a mixture of the dis- 
 tillate and a strong (syrupy) solution of 
 pure caustic soda or potassa, in the pro- 
 portion of 10 of the former to 1 of the 
 latter, gives no perceptible yellow color- 
 ation even on standing for 20 minutes 
 or half an hour. The first portion of 
 distillate that yields this coloration 
 should be rejected; the last one-eighth 
 of liquid should not be distilled, and 
 should also be rejected. The remaining 
 portion only is adapted for use. 
 
 This alcohol is adapted to all chemical 
 purposes and for use in the manufac- 
 ture of perfumes. 
 
 Alcohol or Alcohol Fortius or Strong 
 Alcohol (Homeopathic) is the same as 
 alcohol (U. S. P.). Whenever the term 
 alcohol is used in homeopathic phar- 
 macy, this kind of alcohol is under- 
 stood. It is used in the preparation of 
 tinctures. The so-called "homeopathic 
 alcohol" is a good grade of this kind of 
 alcohol, such as sold under the name 
 "cologne spirits." 
 
 Officinal or Dispensing Alcohol or Al- 
 cohol Officinale (Homeopathic) con- 
 
 tains 83 per cent, by weight or 88 per 
 cent, by volume of absolute alcohol and 
 has a sp. gr. of 0.840 at 60 degrees C. 
 It may be prepared by adding 1 volume 
 of distilled water to 11 24 volumes of 
 alcohol or 1 part by weight of distilled 
 water to 9.64 parts by weight of alcohol. 
 
 It is used for making dilutions from 
 tinctures because this degree of strength 
 is more readily absorbed by both cane 
 and milk sugars. 
 
 Proof Spirit, Brit. Pharm. (spiritus 
 tenuior) is slightly stronger than diluted 
 alcohol U. S. P., containing about 49 
 per cent, by weight or about 57 per cent. 
 by volume of absolute alcohol. 
 
 Alcohol, Dehydrated, U. S. P., con- 
 tains not less than 99% by weight of 
 absolute alcohol. 
 
 Alcoolats. 
 
 These are a class of French prepara- 
 tions produced by distillation of drugs 
 with alcohol. Balsamum (or baume de) 
 fioravanti is an example. 
 
 Alcoolatures. 
 
 A class of French preparations pro- 
 duced by the action of alcohol upon 
 fresh plant parts. They correspond to 
 the tinctures of fresh herbs of our phar- 
 macopeia.

 Heat the aloes by means of a water 
 bath until it is completely melted, then 
 add the alcohol and, having stirred the 
 mixture thoroughly, strain it through a 
 No. 60 sieve which has just been dipped 
 into boiling water. Evaporate the 
 strained mixture by means of a water 
 bath, constantly stirring, until a thread 
 of the mass becomes brittle on cooling. 
 Then allow to cool, break the product 
 into pieces of convenient size, and keep 
 in well-stoppered bottles.

 Alum, Porous. 
 
 This is prepared by evaporating the 
 saturated solution of alum, freed from 
 iron, and just before it is upon the 
 point of crystallizing adding about 1/5 
 of 1 per cent, of sodium bicarbonate. 
 The carbonic acid gas produced, when 
 expelled by the heat, renders the mass 
 porous.

 vapor ceases to be evolved and a dry, 
 white, porous mass is obtained weighing 
 11 av. ounces. When cold, reduce to 
 f:ne powder. — U. S. P. It should be

 has deposited, pour off the water, add 
 the ammonia water, and macerate for 5 
 days agitating the mixture frequently. 
 Then let the powder settle, pour off the 
 ammonia water, and wash the residue 
 by repeated affusion and decantation of 
 water. Finally dry the product by the 
 aid of a gentle heat. 
 
 This process removes copper and ar- 
 senic sulfids and other impurities. 
 
 The antimony sulfid must not be the 
 ordinary commercial variety, as it is 
 
 usually adulterated with coal dust. — U.

 parts of olive oil and 1 part of sub- 
 limed sulfur, in a large iron pot, stir- 
 ring constantly until united. The pot 
 should be large enough to hold three 
 times the quantity of material operated 
 upon, as otherwise the mixture might 
 boil over. As the vapors which are given 
 off are liable to take fire, a lid should 
 be near at hand, so as to place over the 
 pot and extinguish the flames.

 tervals ; then decant the benzin into an- 
 other bottle of the same capacity, and 
 having dissolved Va av. ounce of potas- 
 sium permanganate in 32 fluidounces of 
 water, in which the caustic soda has 
 previously been dissolved, mix the 
 liquids and agitate the mixture frequent- 
 ly during several haurs, then decant, re-

 Mix the bismuth subnitrate with 4 
 fluidounces of distilled water in a quart 
 flask, add 9 av. ounces (or about 6]4 
 fluidounces) of nitric acid, and promote 
 the solution of the salt by agitation, 
 and, if necessary, by a gentle heat. Pour 
 the solution into 1 gallon of distilled 
 
 water previously acidulated with 1 av. 
 ounce of nitric acid, and filter the liquid 
 through absorbent cotton. Mix the am- 
 monia water with 2 gallons of distilled 
 water in a glazed vessel of double that 
 capacity, and pour into it, slowly and 
 with constant stirring, the bismuth solu- 
 tion. Let the mixture stand during 4 
 hours so that the precipitate may sub- 
 side, then pour off the supernatant 
 liquid, and wash the precipitate 4 times 
 more by decantation with distilled 
 water, the sodium bicarbonate being dis- 
 solved in the last wash-water. Pour 
 the precipitate upon a wetted muslin 
 strainer, and wash it with distilled 
 water, until the washings run off taste- 
 less. Transfer the strainer to a warm 
 place, so that the precipitate may dry. 
 Then rub the latter to powder, and 
 keep it in well-stoppered bottles. 
 
 The nitric acid and the ammonia 
 water used for the above should be of 
 U. S. P. strength, the former 68 per 
 cent., the latter 10 per cent. If the am- 
 monia water be weaker or stronger than 
 10 per cent., correspondingly more or 
 less of it must be employed.

 This may be prepared by evaporating 
 fresh defibrinated bullock's blood on a 
 water bath, stirring constantly, until it 
 assumes a granular condition ; then 
 spread on glass plates or parchment 
 paper and keep at a temperature of 30 
 to 35 degrees C. (in a drying oven) 
 until perfectly dry, after which it is 
 powdered and put into well-stoppered 
 bottles. 
 
 The defibrinated blood may be pre- 
 pared by vigorously beating fresh blood 
 in a broad dish with a stick or twig until 
 there is no further separation of fibrin.

 Boroglycerin. (Glyceryl Borate. — 
 Boroglyceride. — Glycerite of Boric 
 Acid.) 
 
 Boric acid, fine powder av.oz. 10 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 14% 
 
 Heat the glycerin in a tared porcelain 
 capsule to a temperature not exceeding 
 150 degrees C, and add acid in por- 
 tions, constantly stirring. When all is 
 added and dissolved, continue the heat 
 at the same temperature, frequently stir- 
 ring, and breaking up the film which 
 forms on the surface. When the mix- 
 ture has become reduced to a weight of 
 16 av. ounces, pour it out on a flat sur- 
 face previously coated with a very small 
 quantity of petrolatum, let it cool, cut 
 it into pieces and transfer them imme- 
 diately to bottles or jars, which should 
 be well-stoppered. 
 
 The official glycerite of boroglycerin 
 may be made from this by adding an 
 equal weight of glycerin to the finished 
 boroglycerin while it is still warm. 
 
 When a solution of boroglycerin is 
 required, it is preferable to prescribe or 
 dispense the glycerite of boroglycerin 
 of the N. F.

 Brandy, Proof. 
 
 The standard of proof for alcoholic 
 liquids was 50 per cent by volume of ab- 
 solute alcohol and 50 per cent of water. 
 Second proof was 52 l / 2 per cent of abso- 
 lute alcohol; third proof was 55^ per 
 cent, and fourth proof was 58 per cent. 
 These were London proof. 
 
 Brandy was formerly official in U. S. P. 
 
 Caffeine, Citrated. 
 
 Caffeine (alkaloid) av.oz. 1

 Dissolve the acid in the water, add 
 the caffeine and evaporate the resulting 
 solution on a water bath to dryness, 
 constantly stirring towards the end of 
 the process.. Reduce the product to fine 
 powder and transfer to well-closed bot- 
 tles.— U. S. P. 
 
 Considerable confusion exists in re- 
 gard to caffeine. It was formerly the 
 custom of manufacturers to put up caf- 
 feine alkaloid under two labels, "caf- 
 feine" and "caffeine citrate." Caffeine 
 is now put up under its proper label; 
 caffeine citrate, true salt, is also to be 
 had ; and finally there is the above 
 citrated caffeine. When physicians pre- 
 scribed caffeine citrate, it was the alka- 
 loid that was dispensed, and it is quite 
 likely that when they now prescribe 
 caffeine citrate, they intend the same 
 article that was formerly dispensed, viz., 
 the alkaloid. The U. S. P., however, 
 intends that when, caffeine citrate is pre- 
 scribed, the above citrated caffeine 
 should be dispensed.

 Capsules, Gelatin, Sealing of. 
 
 Soft or elastic gelatin capsules are 
 now furnished empty so as to be filled 
 with any desired medicament. To seal 
 them after filling, use a mixture of 6 
 drams of gelatin, 6 fluidrams of water 
 and 2 fluidrams of glycerin. Mix these 
 in a wide-mouth bottle, stopper the lat- 
 ter, and heat on a water-bath till the 
 gelatin is all dissolved. The solution 
 should be applied hot with the end of a 
 rather broad round piece of wood. 
 
 Great care must be exercised in filling 
 the capsules not to get any of the liquid 
 on the neck of the capsule. 
 
 The ordinary variety of gelatin cap- 
 sule may be filled, if desired, with liquid 
 and sealed with the same solution, in 
 this case painting or daubing the inside 
 of the cap with the solution immediate- 
 ly before putting it on the body of the 
 capsule. 
 
 The Germ. Pharm. specifically men- 
 tions capsules, but two kinds are de- 
 scribed, one being the ordinary gelatin 
 capsule, the other the so-called cachet 
 or konseal. 
 
 The new N. F. also directs under the 
 heading Powders that powders or tritu- 
 rations may be dispensed enclosed in 
 hard capsules of gelatin.

 Catgut Ligatures. 
 
 Wliat is known as catgut is prepared 
 from the intestines of different animals, 
 but usually of the sheep. To. prepare 
 the gut, the intestines are cleaned, me- 
 chanically freed from adherent fat, 
 steeped for some time in water, after 
 which the external membrane is scraped 
 with a blunt tool like the back of a 
 knife. The membrane is then cut into 
 strips, bleached possibly, washed repeat- 
 edly in alkaline liquids and in water, 
 sometimes dyed, dried, twisted or rolled, 
 then smoothed, the last two operations 
 being done by machinery, and finally is 
 rubbed with a cloth impregnated with 
 some fatty oil. 
 
 The catgut most commonly seen is 
 that used as strings for musical instru- 
 ments. Certain sizes of these strings 
 are suitable for use as ligatures. These 
 are what are known as the first and 
 second banjo, and violin E, A, and D. 
 These correspond to the sizes of liga- 
 tures known as Nos. o, 1, 2, 3 and 4. 
 Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are most generally em- 
 ployed. 
 
 Owing to the application of oil to the 
 catgut before cutting to proper lengths 
 and tying them into skeins, the ligature 
 cannot be said to be in an aseptic con- 
 dition if treated merely with an aqueous 
 solution of carbolic acid (with or with- 
 out chromic acid) or with cold alcohol 
 with or without added antiseptic, al- 
 though catgut so treated is used by 
 surgeons. The gut should preferably 
 be freed from fatty matter or at least 
 it should be thoroughly penetrated by 
 an actual solvent of the fatty matter, 
 which solvent will, at the same time, 
 render permanently sterile any septic 
 matter or germs that may be contained 
 in the gut. The fatty matter may be 
 removed by maceration in chloroform, 
 stronger ether or oil of juniper berries, 
 or by boiling with absolute alcohol un- 
 der pressure to no deg. C. or more. 
 Treatment with these agents removes 
 the fatty matter and at the same time 
 renders the gut sterile. 
 
 Among other methods for sterilizing 
 catgut (besides those mentioned under 
 succeeding articles) are: 
 
 1. Maceration in oil of juniper ber- 
 ries and subsequent boiling with U. S. 
 P. alcohol, then transferring to and 
 keeping in biniodized chloroform (chlo- 
 roform saturated with red mercuric 
 iodid). 
 
 2. Treatment as in No. 1, but with 
 omission of the oil. 
 
 3. Maceration for at least 48 hours 
 in biniodized chloroform. The strings 
 are to be left in this solution and taken 
 out as required. 
 
 The gut may be boiled conveniently 
 with U. S. P. alcohol (or other desired 
 liquid) in a wide-mouthed glass flask 
 provided with a well-cooled upright con- 
 denser which causes the condensed liq- 
 uid to flow back into the flask. Catgut 
 cannot be boiled under pressure with 
 alcohol much weaker than absolute al- 
 cohol without softening and weakening 
 it, and it is best not to continue the 
 boiling for more than about an hour. 
 
26 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 When boiling the gut in any of the 
 above-mentioned liquids, the skeins may 
 be suspended in the liquid as they are, 
 or they may be wound on a reel or 
 spool (preferably of glass), or they may 
 be wound on a test-tube and the latter 
 be loaded with shot so as to sink it in 
 the liquid. 
 
 A firm manufacturing antiseptic dress- 
 ings thus describes its process for ster- 
 ilizing catgut : 
 
 i. Exterior cleansing of the ligatures 
 by scrubbing. 
 
 2. Removal of moisture. 
 
 3. Winding in coils and sealing with- 
 in a toughened filter-paper envelope, this 
 envelope is closed with an antiseptic 
 cement which is germproof, but allows 
 the disinfecting solutions used after- 
 wards to pass through. After the liga- 
 tures are sealed in this envelope, they 
 are not touched by any one until they 
 reach the surgeon. 
 
 4. Successive percolation with solv- 
 ents, naphtha, ether, benzol, alcohol, etc., 
 for the removal of dirt, blood, foreign 
 material, etc., within the tissue of the 
 gut. 
 
 5. Sterilizing by boiling in a solution 
 of cumol compound at a temperature 
 of 160 to 170 deg. C. 
 
 6. Removal of cumol compound. 
 
 7. Sealing in a second or outer en- 
 velope and final packing in sterilized 
 glass jars. 
 
 The biniodized chloroform or "chlo- 
 roform with biniodid" is prepared by 
 adding 35 grains of red mercuric iodid 
 to 5 pounds of pure chloroform con- 
 tained in a flask provided with an up- 
 right condenser, and boiling until the 
 salt is dissolved, which requires about 
 half an hour. The solution should then 
 be transferred to bottles, which must 
 be well stoppered. The solution is of 
 the strength of 1 in 1,000, and at the 
 ordinary indoor temperature is perma- 
 nent. When exposed to a temperature 
 of 15 deg. C. or less, some of the salt 
 will crystallize out, but not much, un- 
 
 less the temperature is quite low. The 
 mixture may assume a pink tinge due 
 to the presence of loose chlorin com- 
 pounds in the chloroform which liberate 
 iodin from the iodid. 
 
 Catgut, Alcohol. 
 
 This is raw catgut treated with alco- 
 hol before use, as described above un- 
 der Catgut Ligatures.

 Mix in a wide-mouth glass bottle or 
 other suitable vessel. Place in the mix- 
 ture as much catgut as is to be impreg- 
 nated, adding more liquid if necessary, 
 to completely immerse the gut. 
 
 Allow the gut to remain in the turbid 
 fluid until the latter becomes clear, agi- 
 tating from time to time. When the 
 liquid becomes transparent, the gut will 
 have become soft and have absorbed 
 water and acid. It is now wound upon 
 glass spools, the whole then being im- 
 mersed in a mixture of crystal carbolic 
 acid and olive oil in the proportion of 
 1 of the former to 4 of the latter. 
 
 This is also the process of the mili- 
 tary pharmacopeia of Austria. 
 
 II. Block's process (in D.) : 
 
 Roll the cleansed catgut upon glass 
 spools, macerate in a 5 per cent, aqueous 
 solution of carbolic acid for 48 hours, 
 then unwind in a dish containing a 
 freshly prepared 5 per cent aqueous car- 
 bolic acid solution, and now rewind 
 (tightly) the gut upon the spool. Pre- 
 serve in a 5 per cent solution of car- 
 bolic acid in alcohol.

 This is Lister's process for hardening 
 gut so that it will not be readily ab- 
 sorbed.— D. 
 
 Catgut Ligatures, Formaldehyde. 
 
 The raw catgut, wound on glass 
 spools, is to be freed from fat by ex- 
 traction with ether in the usual manner, 
 and then placed in a sterile glass jar 
 with a mixture of equal parts of 95 per 
 cent, alcohol and 40 p. c. formaldehyde 
 solution for 6 days, the jar being secure- 
 ly closed. The liquid is then to be 
 poured off and the gut then boiled in 
 normal salt solution for 20 minutes. The 
 boiling may be repeated the next day. 
 The gut is then to be transferred to 
 sterile bottles with a sterile forceps and 
 kept in alcohol. 
 
 Catgut Ligature, Mercuric Chlorid. 
 (Corrosive Sublimate or Sub- 
 limated Catgut.) 
 
 I. Bergman's process (in D.) : 
 Catgut rolled on glass spools is to be 
 
 placed in 5 per cent, alcoholic solution 
 of mercuric chlorid, renewing the solu- 
 tion every 2 days, until it remains clear, 
 then preserve the gut in this solution. 
 
 II. Schede-Kuemmell process (in D.) : 
 Catgut rolled upon glass spools is to 
 
 be placed for 12 hours in a 1 per cent, 
 aqueous solution of mercuric chlorid; 
 then preserve in y 2 per cent, alcoholic 
 solution of the same salt to which has 
 previously been added 10 per cent, of

 chloric acid and 32 fluidounces of boil- 
 ing water, and connect the flask with 
 an upright condenser. By means of a 
 sand bath, keep the mixture boiling 
 gently during 8 hours, adding water oc- 
 casionally to maintain the original vol- 
 ume. Then add 40 fluidounces of boil- 
 ing water, transfer the mixture to a 
 muslin strainer, and when the liquid has 
 run off, return the charcoal to the flask, 
 add to it 7 fluidounces of hydrochloric

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 acid and 16 fluidounces of boiling water; 
 boil for 2 hours ; again add 40 fluid- 
 ounces of boiling water, transfer the 
 whole to a plain filter, and when the 
 liquid has run off, wash the residue 
 with boiling water until the washings 
 give only a faint cloudiness with silver 
 nitrate test solution. Dry the powder 
 in a drying oven and immediately trans- 
 fer to well-stoppered bottles. — 
 
 The hydrochloric acid must be of full 
 U. S. P. strength, 31.9 per cent, of ab- 
 solute acid, else proportionately more 
 of it must be employed. It converts the 
 calcium phosphate and carbonate present 
 in animal charcoal into* chlorid and acid 
 phosphate which are soluble in water 
 and are removed by the washing.

 Chlorodyne. 
 
 This was first introduced in England 
 as a "combination of perchloric acid 
 with a new alkaloid." The name "chlo- 
 rodyne" was undoubtedly invented by 
 Dr. J. Collis Browne, but Mr. Freeman, 
 pharmacist, claimed to be the inventor 
 of the preparation. Whether Browne's 
 and Freeman's chlorodynes were exact- 
 ly the same is not known, but there was 
 no foundation for their claims that new 
 vegetable principles were contained in 
 their medicines. 
 
 Dr. Ogden, of St. Mary's Hospital, 
 London, published the following form- 
 ula as a result of a pretended "analy- 
 sis" : 
 
 Morphine hydrochlorid gr. 8 
 
 Hydrocyanic acid, Scheele's 
 
 drops 12 
 
 Oil of peppermint drops 2 
 
 Perchloric acid drops 20 
 
 Tincture of cannabis indica.fl.dr. 1 
 
 Tincture of capsicum m. 30 
 
 Chloric ether fl.dr. 1 
 
 Molasses fl.dr. 1 
 
 Chloroform fl.dr. 6 
 
 The formula, actually used by Dr. 
 Ogden in the hospital, appears to have 
 been slightly different from this. 
 
 Later, after the nostrum was intro- 
 duced into America, Charles Bullock 
 published the following formula as the 
 result of an analysis : 
 
 Morphine hydrochlorid gr. 8 
 
 Water m. 30 
 
 Perchloric acid (25 deg. B.) 
 
 drops 20 
 
 Chloroform fl.dr. 1 ^

 Hydrocyanic acid, U. S. P.. drops 12 
 
 Molasses fl.dr. 4 
 
 Oil of peppermint drops 2 
 
 Oleoresin of capsicum drop 1 
 
 To the morphine salt and water con- 
 tained in a flask, add the perchloric acid 
 and heat until a clear solution is effect- 
 ed. Then add the molasses, previously 
 warmed so as to render it fluid. Heat 
 the mixture and agitate well. When 
 cold add the other ingredients and mix 
 well. 
 
 A number of other substitutes have 
 been and are still in use, the formulas 
 (there are about 30 published formulas 
 and an innumerable number of private 
 formulas) for which differ from another 
 more or less, sometimes quite materially, 
 both in kind and quantity of ingredients. 
 The National Formulary recognizes one 
 of these preparations under the name 
 Compound Mixture of Chloroform and 
 Cannabis Indica or "chloroform ano- 
 dyne." The Brit. Pharm. preparation is 
 called compound tincture of chloroform 
 and morphine. 
 
 Browne's preparation is thick, turbid, 
 and brownish, but many of the other 
 preparations now on the market arc 
 limpid, transparent, and bright green in 
 color.

 Cigarettes, Cubeb. 
 
 While it probably will not pay the 
 pharmacist to prepare his own cubeb 
 cigarettes, the following hints and form- 
 ula may not be amiss : 
 
 The first step in the process of manu- 
 facture is the molding of the casement 
 of the cigarettes, which consists in 
 forming into a sound hollow tube cigar- 
 ette paper about 3 inches long and about 
 34 inch in diameter. The ordinary round 
 lead pencil will answer for a mold 
 around which the paper can be rolled — 
 when the paper tube is formed, turn in 
 one of the ends so as to form the bot- 
 tom. Now place a number of these 
 tubes into a rack, and by the use of a s 
 sieve of the proper fineness the mixture 
 of drugs is sifted over the paper tubes 
 until they are filled up within an inch 
 of the top, after pressing the mixture 
 so that it is evenly distributed a small 
 piece of cotton is placed over it and a 
 mouthpiece is inserted, which is made 
 out of a piece of cardboard one inch 
 long and a trifle smaller in diameter so 
 that it can be inserted into the paper 
 tube and the cigarette is finished. Ten 
 or thirty of these are then wrapped in 
 paraffin paper and placed in a paper 
 carton with printed directions for use. 
 
 The mixture used for filling varies 
 with different manufacturers ; the fol- 
 lowing are said to be used:

 Cubeb berries parts 2 
 
 Cubeb berries, exhausted. . .parts 10 
 
 Mullein leaves parts 4 
 
 Cascarilla bark part 1 
 
 The drugs should be ground to No. 
 20 powder. Some manufacturers add 
 to the mixture of drugs glycerin and 
 potassium nitrate, to increase the burn- 
 ing quality of the cigarette. The usual 
 quantity is 1 av.ounce of the potassium 
 salt to a pint of water, or 4 fluidounces 
 of glycerin and 12 fluidounces of water, 
 either of these to be added to 10 av. 
 pounds of the mixture of drugs, the 
 whole then to be thoroughly dried. Each 
 of the cigarettes contains about 15 grains 
 of the mixture. 
 
 The paper casements or tubes are an 
 article of the market, and can be pur- 
 chased at 50 cents per thousand from 
 manufacturers. At this figure it hardly 
 would be profitable for the beginner to 
 make them himself. 
 
 Several of the formulas contain ex- 
 hausted cubeb berries. If these cannot 
 be purchased, the .crushed berries can 
 easily be exhausted of a large percent- 
 age of the oil of cubeb by solvents like 
 ether, carbon bisulphide or benzin. Ben- 
 zin would seem to be the best, as it is 
 readily obtained of very light gravity in 
 the market and at a very low price. The 
 oil of cubeb so extracted can be puri- 
 fied and thus becomes an extra source 
 of profit in this line of manufacture. It 
 is stated that where the excess of oil 
 
 is not removed, the paper casement be- 
 comes stained, and it is also objection- 
 able in the smoking of the cigarette, as 
 some of the oil is carried into the 
 mouth. 
 
 As is well known, these cigarettes are 
 used in catarrh, hay fever, asthma, etc. 
 
 Ether, stronger 
 Alcohol 
 
 Collodion. 
 
 Pyroxylin (soluble gun cotton)

 To the pyroxylin, contained in a suit- 
 able bottle, add the ether and let stand 
 for 15 minutes; then add the alcohol 
 and shake the bottle until the pyroxylin 
 is dissolved. Cork the bottle well and 
 set it aside until the liquid has become 
 clear. Finally decant the clear portion 
 from any sediment which may have de- 
 posited, and transfer it to bottles which 
 should be well corked and sealed. 
 
 Keep in a cool place remote from 
 lights and fire.— U. S. P. 
 
 Acetone is said to be an excellent 
 solvent for pyroxylin and inight be sub- 
 stituted for the alcohol and ether. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. directs only 150 gr. 
 of pyroxylin for the above amount of 
 liquid. The Germ. Pharm. uses 240 gr. 
 of pyroxylin, agitates this with ify 
 fluidounces of alcohol until well mixed, 
 then with 1454 fluidounces of stronger 
 ether. 
 
 Collodion, Aconite. 
 
 Such a preparation may be made as 
 follows : 
 Aconite root, fine powder. av.oz. Sy 2

 Pyroxylin gr. 60 
 
 Pack the powder very tightly in a 
 percolator intended for volatile liquids. 
 mix the ether with 4 fluidounces of al- 
 cohol, saturate the drug with this liquid, 
 macerate for about 6 hours, then perco- 
 late slowly, adding enough alcohol 
 through the percolator so as to make 
 16 fluidounces of percolate. In this dis- 
 solve the balsam and pyroxylin.

 Concentrations. 
 
 This class of preparations was origin- 
 ally introduced by physicians of the 
 Eclectic school of medicine and subse- 
 quently was employed by physicians of 
 other schools. They are now employed 
 in Europe; and one, at least, has found 
 recognition in the U. S. P., viz., po- 
 dophylin. 
 
 The general plan for their manufac- 
 ture originally consisted in extracting 
 the drug with strong alcohol, evaporat- 
 ing this tincture to small bulk, adding 
 to cold water, stirring constantly mean- 
 while, allowing the precipitate formed 
 to subside, collecting the latter, and dry- 
 ing and powdering it. 
 
 If the drug contain an ojeoresin, the 
 precipitate cannot be dried sufficiently 
 to powder, but remains a soft, sticky 
 mass. In this case, the precipitate 
 should be dried sufficiently to remove 
 the water, then add enough of the ori- 
 ginal drug, in powdered form, to reduce 
 to a rather tough mass, break the latter 
 into small piece-, dry in warm air, and 
 pulverize as before. 
 
 In many instances, there would be, by 
 
 the use of water alone as a precipitat- 
 ing agent, an inappreciable amount of 
 precipitate. In such cases, alum is added 
 to the water and some ammonium car- 
 bonate to the alcoholic liquid. The pre- 
 cipitate contains aluminium hydrate, and 
 the product will very often be green 
 from precipitated chlorophyll. 
 
 Other substances are added to the 
 water to facilitate precipitation, such as 
 acids and alkalies, depending, of course, 
 upon the character of the drug. 
 
 While the above methods of preparing 
 concentrations were advised by Eclectic 
 practitioners, other methods are or have 
 been in vogue among manufacturers. In 
 many instances, the concentration is 
 simply a powdered extract, the so-called 
 "euonymin," for example, the drug often 
 being exhausted with dilute alcohol or 
 water. Instead of using the powdered 
 drug as a drying agent, as is stated 
 above, most manufacturers use milk 
 sugar, magnesia or other absorbent 
 powder. Probably most concentrations 
 of the present day are simply powdered 
 extracts. 
 
 See "Hydrastin" and "Iridin" for one 
 method for making these concentrations. 
 
 Most of the concentrations are sup- 
 posed to be resinous in character, and 
 are termed "resinoids," while others are 
 alkaloidal in character. The latter are 
 believed to be prepared by exhausting 
 the drug with a very dilute acid (from 
 Yi to 3 per cent.), usually hydrochloric 
 or sulfuric, evaporating the liquid ob- 
 tained to moderate bulk, adding am- 
 monia to neutralize the acid, collecting 
 the precipitate, and washing and drying 
 it. Hydrastis and sanguinaria are drugs 
 treated in this manner. 
 
 As may be surmised from what has 
 been stated, concentrations from differ- 
 ent manufacturers differ from each 
 other greatly in quality and strength and 
 color, as well as in other properties. 
 
 The nomenclature of the concentra- 
 tions is very confusing. The resinoids 
 have names ending in "in" — cornin, 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 37 
 
 helenin, etc. — while those of alkaloidal 
 character are known by names ending 
 either in "in" or "ia," and are coupled 
 with names indicating the acid employed 
 in extraction, e. g., hydrastia sulfate, 
 sanguinarin nitrate, etc. Manufacturers 
 of pharmaceuticals have not only modi- 
 fied the processes of preparation, but 
 have introduced innovations in the 
 titles. When it is borne in mind that 
 glucosides have names terminating in 
 "in," and that aklaloidal names end in 
 "ine" ("ia" is also used), and that al- 
 most all drugs contain glucosides or 
 alkaloids or even both, one can readily 
 see that almost inextricable confusion 
 must result, often to the serious detri- 
 ment of sick persons. This is the case 
 particularly with the derivatives of 
 hydrastis and sanguinaria. 
 
 The following table is presented be- 
 cause of its convenience for reference.

 Cotton, Absorbent. (Purified Cotton, 
 U. S. P. — Gossypium Purifica- 
 tum.) 
 
 Ordinary cotton contains, in addition 
 to the dirt and other matter that ac- 
 companies it, some fatty and coloring 
 
40 
 
 ST A N D ARD FO R M U L A R Y OF 
 
 matter. The fatty matter does not per- 
 mit the cotton to absorb water or aque- 
 ous fluids to any appreciable extent, and 
 the unpurified is therefore of no value 
 for surgical and pharmaceutical pur- 
 poses. 
 
 There are several methods by which 
 ordinary cotton may be rendered absor- 
 bent. An easy process is to wash it re- 
 peatedly with ether, which, of course, 
 extracts or dissolves out the fatty mat- 
 ter. The first portions of ether may be 
 economically replaced by gasolin or 
 petroleum ether, finishing the washing 
 with ether so as to avoid the odor of 
 gasolin in the product. By means of 
 this process cotton can be rendered ab- 
 sorbent and be dried in a very few 
 minutes. 
 
 The process adopted by manufactur- 
 ers on the large scale is usually about 
 as follows : 
 
 Boil any desired quantity of the best 
 carded cotton with a 5 per cent, solu- 
 tion of caustic potassa or s®da for one- 
 half hour, or until the cotton is entirely 
 saturated with the solution, and the al- 
 kali has saponified all the fatty matter ; 
 wash thoroughly in clear water to re- 
 move all the soap and nearly all the 
 alkali; press out the excess of water; 
 place in a 5 per cent, solution of chlorin- 
 ated lime, allowing to remain for 15 or 
 20 minutes ; again wash, first in some 
 clear water, then dip in water acidulated 
 with hydrochloric acid, and wash again 
 thoroughly in clear water; press out the 
 excess of water and again boil for 15 or 
 20 minutes in 5 per cent, alkali solu- 
 tion; now wash well in clear water, dip 
 in water acidulated with hydrochloric 
 acid, and again wash thoroughly in 
 clear water; now press out the water 
 and dry. 
 
 Owing to the cellular character of cot- 
 ton, it is very likely to absorb a liquid 
 and not readily give it up again; hence 
 when cotton is to be well washed, it 
 should be kneaded with the hands or 
 otherwise. In removing excess of water 
 or other liquid, an ordinary clothes- 
 
 wringer will be found to serve the pur- 
 pose admirably. Cotton batting, as pur- 
 chased, ordinarly occurs in rolled 
 sheets; if care be taken in the above 
 manipulation, the product can be made 
 to retain this "sheet" form. 
 
 Medicated Cottons. — These are pre- 
 pared by impregnating good absorbent 
 cotton by means of immersion in liquid 
 containing the medicating substance. 
 Sorrfetimes a large excess of liquid is 
 employed for impregnation, the excess 
 being removed by subsequent expres- 
 sion; or else only so much is used as 
 that when the whole is taken up by the 
 cotton, the latter will contain the requi- 
 site or prescribed amount of medica- 
 ment. In the former case, the expres- 
 sion may be by means of an instrument 
 like an ordinary clotheswringer, con- 
 ducting the expression so that the liquid 
 which the cotton is allowed to retain 
 will yield a proper strength of finished 
 product. In either case, therefore, the 
 result is identical, and while preference 
 is usually given, in the formulas which , 
 follow, to the use of a large amount of 
 liquid, the other process may be substi- 
 tuted, the result always depending more 
 on the care and skill of the operator 
 than on any other circumstances. In 
 impregnating cotton, it may be necessary 
 to knead the latter with the liquid, and 
 sometimes even to macerate for one or 
 two hours ; if the small quantity of 
 liquid be used, then the cotton must be 
 weighted down in some convenient man- 
 ner. In expressing cotton after im- 
 pregnating in a large quantity of liquid, 
 it may be advisable to wrap the cotton 
 in parchment paper to protect it from 
 the press ; if salicylic acid be present, 
 the solution and cotton must not be al- 
 lowed to come in contact with any iron 
 parts. Cotton must always be passed 
 through the press evenly to medicate 
 uniformly. 
 
 Drying of impregnated cotton may be 
 done on screens either in a drying closet 
 or in a room which is dry and perfectly 
 aseptic or clean.

 Good absorbent cotton, when dipped 
 in water, will take up or retain, after 
 expression, twice its weight of liquid, 
 each pound of dry cotton yielding there- 
 fore three pounds of mpist cotton. 
 
 All prepared cottons should be kept in 
 suitable receptacles or wrappers such as 
 glass, parchment paper, paraffined paper, 
 paraffined or resin-coated pasteboard 
 boxes, etc., to prevent loss by evapora- 
 tion or accession of septic matter.

 This work must be performed with a 
 certain amount of celerity. Dry in the

 A 1 in 1000 cotton may be prepared 
 by using 11 gr. each of mercuric and 
 lithium chlorids. 
 
 Ordinarily sublimated cotton suffers 
 diminution in strength due to reduction 
 of the mercuric chlorid. This is as- 
 cribed to lack of care in preparing the 
 absorbent cotton used, the presence of 
 glycerin and of stearic acid to impart a 
 brilliant whiteness, and creaking sound 
 when pressed between the fingers, etc. 
 The second process is supposed to yield 
 a permanent product. The lithium 
 chlorid is intended to replace the 
 glycerin of other processes.

 fers from first one of the above only in 
 that 55 fluidounces of alcohol is em-

 The ingredients are to be mixed in a 
 porcelain or granite-iron sauce-pan, and 
 boil at a gentle heat until the agar is 
 completely dissolved, care being taken 
 to maintain the exact volume of the 
 mixture by repeated additions of dis- 
 tilled water; remove from the heat, 
 carefully neutralize with a solution of 
 sodium carbonate, and clarify with egg 
 albumen ; finally filter in a funnel pro- 
 vided with a steam or hot-water jacket. 
 In cold weather the proportion of 
 agar may be decreased to 5 grams. 
 
 The medium while still hot should be 
 poured into sterilized tubes to the 
 depth of about 1)4 inches, the cotton 
 plugs should be replaced, and the tubes 
 be placed in a wire basket and again 
 sterilized as described below for the 
 tubes. 
 
 On completing the third day's treat- 
 ment, the tubes should be removed while 
 still hot and rotated on a block of ice, 
 holding them horizontally so as to leave 
 a film of the culture medium congealed 
 on the sides. Some tubes may be al- 
 lowed to cool in an inclined position 
 merely, when a thicker stratum of the 
 medium is desired. 
 
 For the purpose of cultures, test- 
 tubes 6 inches long and tolerably wide 
 diameter may be used. These should 
 first be washed clean, then rinsed with 
 distilled water, the openings closed

 This is used as a tenifuge, the direc- 
 tions being as follows: — The patient 
 should fast for one day and on retiring 
 should take two compound cathartic 
 pills, to be followed in the morning on 
 arising by a good dose of Rochelle salt. 
 As soon as there is profuse stool, he 
 should take 2 or 3 fluidounces of the 
 decoction. If the liquid be retained by 
 the stomach, the worm will probably 
 pass with the next stool. If it be re- 
 jected, as may- be the case, another dose 
 should be given, but not for about 2 
 hours, to give the stomach a rest.

 This preparation is not recognized in 
 the Brit. Pharm. 1898, but in its stead 
 is what is called ''concentrated com- 
 pound solution of sarsaparilla," which is 
 8 times the strength of the above and

 from which the above may be prepared 
 by diluting one volume with 7 volumes 
 of water. It is prepared by infusine 
 16^ av.ounces of Jamaica sarsaparilla, 
 in three successive portions of 5 pints 
 each of distilled water, for one hour 
 each, at 70 deg. C. Boil 730 grains each 
 of sassafras, guaiac wood, licorice root, 
 and mezereum with distilled water un- 
 til exhausted. Rapidly concentrate the 
 mixed infusion and decoction until, 
 when cold, the liquid measures 12^ 
 fluidounces. To this add 3>4 fluidounces 
 of alcohol, set aside for at least 14 days, 
 and filter. The product should measure 
 16 fluidounces.

 Decoction of Sarsaparilla, Compound 
 Stronger. (Zittmann's Decoction. 
 — Zittmann's Stronger Decoc- 
 tion.) 
 
 The preparation of 2nd Germ. Pharm. 
 of the above name is the same as that 
 known in the present (3rd) Germ. 
 Pharm. as compound decoction of sar- 
 saparilla. See Decoction of Sarsaparilla, 
 Compound. 
 
 The formula of the 1st Germ. Pharm. 
 was similar; 18 grains each of sugar 
 and alum were directed, also 12 grains 
 each of anise and fennel, and 35 grains 
 of licorice root. It was further directed, 
 however, in this work that when Decoc- 
 tum Zittmanni is prescribed, it should 
 be prepared in a similar manner except 
 that to the sugar and alum should be 
 added 12 grains of calomel and 3 grains 
 red sulfid of mercury, enclosed in a 
 linen bag. 
 
 The formula given last is an unsci- 
 
 entific one, but contains mercury in some 
 form, unless the process has been con- 
 ducted in metallic vessels, and hence is 
 often preferred on this account. 
 
 Decoction of Sarsaparilla, Comp'd, 
 Weaker. (Zittmann's Weaker or 
 Milder Decoction.) 
 
 The present (3rd) Germ. Pharm. does 
 not recognize this preparation, but the 
 2nd and 1st did recognize it. The form- 
 ula of the 2d edition was as follows : 
 
 Sarsaparilla, cut gr. 140 
 
 Lemon peel, cut gr. 15 
 
 Cinnamon, bruised gr. 15 
 
 Cardamom, bruised gr. 15 
 
 Licorice root, cut gr. 15 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Macerate the sarsaparilla with 15 
 fluidounces of water for 24 hours, then 
 heat in a covered vessel on a boiling 
 water bath for 3 hours, stirring occa- 
 sionally; add the other ingredients, mac- 
 erate for 15 minutes, strain the liquid 
 with expression, allow the decoction to 
 settle, pour off the clear liquid, and 
 add enough water to make it weigh 16 
 av.ounces. 
 
 The formula of the 1st Germ. Pharm. 
 was slightly different, as follows : 
 Residue from the stronger decoction 
 
 Sarsaparilla, cut fine gr. 140 
 
 Cardamom, bruised gr. 8 
 
 Cinnamon, bruised gr. 8 
 
 Lemon peel, cut gr. 8 
 
 Licorice root, cut gr. 8 
 
 Water fl.oz. 17 
 
 Mix the residue above specified with 
 the sarsaparilla, and boil the whole with 
 the water in a covered vessel on a 
 steam or boiling water bath for 3 hours. 
 Near the end of this time add the re- 
 maining drugs ; allow to cool, strain, 
 set aside to settle, and decant the clear 
 liquid. The product should weigh about 
 16 fluidounces. 
 
 The present Austr. Pharm. recognizes 
 both the stronger and the weaker com- 
 pound decoctions of sarsaparilla. 
 
 Dilutions, Homeopathic. (Liquid At- 
 tenuations.) 
 The homeopathic process of dilution 
 by means of a progressive scale of 1 
 part of tincture to 100 parts of vehicle, 
 known as the centesimal scale, was rec- 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 49 
 
 ommended by Hahnemann, the father 
 of homeopathy, and adopted by him as 
 the standard. Under this rule, each at- 
 tenuation contained just i/ioo part as 
 much of the drug substance as the pre- 
 ceding attenuation. In order to secure 
 intermediate grades of strength, there 
 has since been introduced the method of 
 diluting in the proportion of I in 10, 
 instead of I in ioo, this constituting the 
 decimal scale. The great advantage of 
 the latter has led to its replacement, to 
 a very great extent, for the centesimal 
 scale. The decimal scale is the only 
 one recognized by the present authority 
 of American homeopathists, the Pharma- 
 copeia of the American Institute of Ho- 
 meopathy, and hence only this one will 
 be recognized in this work. 
 
 The centesimal scale of dilution or 
 trituration is indicated by numbers af- 
 fixed to the name of the medicament, 
 e. g., belladonna I, belladonna 2, etc., 
 meaning respectively the first centesimal 
 and the second centesimal dilution or 
 trituration. Or the centesimal scale is 
 also indicated by adding "c," viz., bella- 
 donna ic, belladonna 2c, etc. The deci- 
 mal scale is indicated by numbers to 
 which is affixed an "x," viz., belladonna 
 ix, belladonna 2x, etc., so that belladon- 
 na 1 is equal to belladonna 2x. 
 
 Attenuation or expansion is accom- 
 plished in the process of dilution by the 
 addition of the diluent or vehicle (men- 
 struum) to the liquid or .the solid which 
 is to be attenuated. 
 
 In the decimal scale the original quan- 
 tity of medicine is diluted progressively 
 by ten so that the first dilution (ix) 
 contains 1/10, the second dilution (2x) 
 contains 1/100, the third dilution (3x) 
 1/1000, etc., of the original medicine. 
 As solutions and tinctures are to be 
 made, according to the above-mentioned 
 homeopathic standard work, so that 1 
 part of drug is to be contained in every 
 10 parts of the diluent, each tincture or 
 solution (with some few exceptions) is 
 equal or equivalent to the first decimal 
 
 dilution (ix). The exceptions are such 
 sparingly soluble substances as phos- 
 phorus, arsenic, sulfur, etc., which re- 
 quire more solvent, and in such cases 
 the product should contain 1 part of 
 drug in 100 parts, or in 1000 parts, of 
 diluent, dependent on the degree of solu- 
 bility, and this product is therefore the 
 second decimal (2x) or the third deci- 
 mal (3x) dilution. 
 
 The method of making each dilution, 
 after the original solution or tincture 
 has been prepared, is to take 1 volume 
 of the liquid to be diluted and to add 9 
 volumes of diluent or vehicle (usually 
 alcohol). The first dilution thus diluted 
 makes the second dilution, the second 
 forms the third, and so on. 
 
 Dilutions may be made from tritura- 
 tions if desired (a trituration of any 
 strength to make a dilution of the next 
 higher attenuation), provided it is a trit- 
 uration of a substance soluble in alcohol 
 or water. The preferred rule, however, 
 is to use soluble substances for dilu- 
 tions and insoluble substances for tritu- 
 rations. See Triturations. 
 
 The menstruum to be used in making 
 each dilution will be stated under the 
 respective tincture or solution, which 
 see, in each case, under* Tinctures and 
 Solutions. 
 
 Discs. (Lamellae.) 
 
 These are prepared by adding to a 
 concentrated solution of gelatin some 
 glycerin and a solution of a medicating 
 ingredient. While hot this is poured 
 on a perfectly level plate of glass or 
 porcelain, which has previously been 
 very slightly greased, and after drying 
 the discs are cut out from the sheet, 
 each disc to weigh about i/soth to 
 i/30th grain. The discs of the British 
 Pharm. are used only in ophthalmic 
 practice. They are as follows: 
 
 Discs of Atropine, each containing 
 i/50C0th grain of atropine sulfate. 
 
 Discs of Cocaine, each containing 
 1 /50th grain of cocaine hydrochlorid. 
 
 Discs of Homatropine, each contain-

 Discs of Physostigmine, each contain- 
 ing i/ioooth grain of physostigmine sul- 
 fate. 
 
 The cocaine discs should weigh about 
 i/30th grain; the others should weigh 
 about i/50th grain. 
 
 Each disc will be about 1/25 inch in 
 thickness.

 Drops. (Guttse.) 
 
 Preparations popularly known as 
 "drops" vary considerably in character. 
 Some are grouped here, others may be 
 found in other and more appropriate 
 places in this work. Consult the index 
 for the latter. 
 
 Some of the many popular German 
 and Scandinavian "drops" are mentioned 
 here, but whether the equivalents are 
 always correct is doubtful, as different 
 preparations are dispensed under the 
 same name in different parts of the 
 country of their origin and in different 
 parts of this country. 
 
 Many of the "drops" are spirits, i. e., 
 alcoholic solutions of volatile oils, for 
 example, "peppermint drops."

 as required. — Eclectic. 
 Drops, Bitter. (Beska or Bitre Draa- 
 ber.) 
 
 For this Scandinavian preparation is 
 to be dispensed compound tincture of 
 wormwood (see Tincture of Worm- 
 wood, Compound) or tincture amara 
 (see Tincture, Bitter, No. IV). Some- 
 times tincture of wormwood is dispensed 
 but the former is the proper "bitre 
 draaber."

 Drops, Cinnamon. (Kanel Draaber.) 
 
 For the Scandinavian "Kanel Draa- 
 ber," tincture of cinnamon is to be dis- 
 pensed. The Scandinavian preparation 
 is stronger than the U. S. P., 2> l A 
 av. ounces to be made into 1 pint of tin 
 ture with diluted alcohol. 
 
 The "Sure Kanel Draaber" (sour chv. 
 namon drops) is tinctura aromatic*, 
 acida, which is practically aromatic sul- 
 furic acid. 
 Drops, Cramp. 
 
 For Krampf Tropfen it is customary 
 to dispense tincture of valerian or etne- 
 real tincture of valerian, usually the 
 former.

 Sometimes other preparations are dis- 
 pensed for gold drops or golden tinc- 
 ture, such as aromatic or bitter tincture. 
 Spirit of ether is used, so is also com-

 Ether fl.oz. 7]/ 2 
 
 Solution of iron chlorid fl.oz. 1 
 
 The ethereal tincture of iron chlorid, 
 N. F., is also known as Lamotte's Gold

 A preparation like either of these lat- 
 ter two must not be dispensed for gold 
 drops or golden tincture unless it is 
 quite certain that such a mixture is 
 wanted. 
 
 An eclectic preparation called golden 
 tincture is made as follows:

 Elixirs. 
 
 The presentation of this multitudinous 
 array of elixirs perhaps requires an ex- 
 planation. The catalogues of the large 
 manufacturers list all of the elixirs here- 
 in mentioned, and this fact indicates a 
 demand for them. In order, therefore, 
 that retail pharmacists may supply this 
 demand without recourse to the manu- 
 facturer or the wholesaler, we have giv- 
 en reliable formulas for these prepara- 
 tions. The elixirs of the N. F., U. S. P., 
 and other standard American works are 
 also included. 
 
 "Elixoid" is a term used to some ex- 
 tent in Great Britain instead of elixir. 
 
 Under the heading "elixirs," the Na- 
 tional Formulary has the following gen- 
 eral remarks : "The elixirs for which 
 formulas are given in this formulary 
 should, without exception be perfectly 
 clear when dispensed. In most form- 
 ulas ample provision is made for secur- 
 ing preparations that will be, and will 
 remain, satisfactory in this respect. If, 
 however, for any reason an elixir shall 
 become turbid on keeping, it must be 
 filtered through paper or otherwise clari- 
 fied. To secure a brilliantly clear fil- 
 trate it is recommended to shake the 
 turbid elixir with a little purified talc, 
 before filtration, about 3 or 4 drams suf- 
 ficing for 32 fluidounces. 
 
 While it is manifestly obligatory to 
 use for all medicinal preparations only 
 material of accepted purity and quality, 
 it is worth remembering that no class 
 of preparations calls for greater care in 
 
 the selection than does that of elixirs 
 and that this is particularly true with 
 regard to the flavoring ingredients (the 
 volatile oils) which must be absolutely 
 fresh and of reliable quality if a satis- 
 factory product is the desideratum. 
 
 Elixirs should not be exposed to ex- 
 tremes of temperature; they should be 
 kept as near as practicable at the ordi- 
 nary room temperature."

 This elixir is liable to become cloudy, 
 from separation of essential oils, when it 
 is exposed to a temperature lower than 
 that at which it has been filtered. In 
 general, it is recommended that it be 
 cooled to, and filtered at, a temperature 
 of about 15 deg. C. In the northern 
 sections of this country, or in winter 
 

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 time, it should be cooled to a proportion- 
 ately lower temperature, previous to fil- 
 tration. 
 
 Anethol is the stearopten of oil of 
 anise, and possesses a finer and purer 
 aroma and taste than any commercial 
 variety of oil of anise. If it cannot be 
 readily obtained, the so-called Saxon oil 
 of anise may be substituted for it. The 
 Russian oil of anise may be used but 
 is not so good as the Saxon. Oil of 
 star-anise, which is usually supplied by 
 wholesalers when "oil of anise" is or- 
 dered, does not answer well for this 
 purpose. The oil of fennel should be 
 from the seed (the so-called "sweet" 
 oil), not that from the chaff.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 The ferric hydrate may be prepared 
 as described under elixir of gentian; the 
 amount to be used must be sufficient to 
 detannate the mixture, and if an insuf- 
 ficient amount has been used, more must 
 be added, allowing to stand for several 
 days more. The test to be applied is the 
 usual one — filtering a small amount of 
 liquid and testing the filtrate with solu- 
 tion of iron chlorid to note if any black-

 This preparation is sometimes known 
 as "elixir of cinchona from alkaloids." 
 The formula replaces that given for 
 elixir of cinchona in previous editions of 
 the N. F. which was directed to be 
 made from tincture of cinchona and is 
 believed to produce a practical equiva- 
 lent of the older preparation with the 
 advantage of giving no reaction with 
 salts of iron. It also replaces Detan- 
 nated Elixir of Cinchona and Com- 
 pound of Quinine. 
 
 The formula of the older N. F. in 
 which tincture of cinchona was employ- 
 ed is also here given.

 Elixir of Cinchona, Detannated. 
 
 Instead of using a detannated elixir of 
 cinchona, the present N. F. directs that 
 elixir of cinchona from alkaloids (see 
 Elixir of Cinchona) be used but for 
 those who wish to make the detannated 
 elixir the formula of the older N. F. is 
 here given :

 Reduce the cinchona, orange peel, 
 spices, and cocoa together to a moder- 
 ately fine powder, extract by slow per- 
 colation with a menstruum, consisting 
 of 1 volume of alcohol with 3 of water 
 so as to obtain 16 fluidounces of perco- 
 late. 
 
 Prepare hydrate of iron as directed 
 under Detannated Tincture of Cinchona 
 or under Elixir of Gentian, and de- 
 tannate the above percolate as there di- 
 rected, washing the residue, with a mix- 
 ture similar to the menstruum used, 
 until the liquid measures 24 fluidounces. 
 To the latter add the spirit of orange 
 and the talcum, shake well, washing the 
 filter with the same liquid that was 
 used before until the filtrate measures 
 26 fluidounces. To the filtrate add the 
 sugar, and dissolve by agitation ; strain 
 or filter, if this be necessary. 
 
 III. Lime process: 
 Yellow cinchona, fine

 Slake the lime in the least quantity of 
 water, mix intimately with the bark, 
 moisten with alcohol, pack in a glass 
 percolator, and percolate slowly with 
 alcohol as a menstruum in the usual 
 manner until 8 fluidounces are obtained. 
 The first portions of the percolate must 
 be tested with solution of ferric chlorid ; 
 so long as this liquid affords a discolor- 
 ation it must be returned to the perco- 
 lator.

 To 12 fluidounces of simple syrup add 
 5 gr. of citric acid, previously dissolved 
 in a very small amount of water, and 
 mix this with the percolate, subsequent- 
 ly adding 11 fluidounces of water. Then 
 to this add the flavoring mixture, mix 
 well, and filter the whole. Finally, add 
 through the filter enough of a mixture 
 of equal volumes of diluted alcohol 
 and simple syrup to make 32 fluidounces.

 Star-anise gr. 40 
 
 White of one egg, 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 8 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 4 
 
 Diluted alcohol, water, 
 
 each sufficient. 
 
 Mix the cinchona, cassia, coriander, 
 rose nutmeg, and star-anise, reduce to 
 No. 50 powder, and extract by the usual 
 method of percolation, with diluted alco- 
 hol, so as to obtain 16 fluidounces of 
 percolate. To this add the egg-white, 
 previously beaten with a portion of the 
 percolate. Agitate thoroughly, allow to 
 stand for 24 hours, agitating occasional- 
 ly, and then strain. Contuse the orange 
 peel in an iron mortar to coarse powder, 
 macerate with the alcohol for 2 days, 
 agitating occasionally, decant the liquid, 
 pack the residue in a percolator, pass 
 the previously-obtained detannated per- 
 colate through this drug, and when all 
 has passed continue percolation with 
 water until the total percolate measures 
 24* fluidounces. In this dissolve the 
 
 sugar by agitation, add the alcoholic de- 
 cantate which was reserved, and then 
 enough of a mixture of equal parts of 
 diluted alcohol and simple syrup to 
 make 32 fluidounces, and filter the 
 whole. 
 
 The color of this preparation may be 
 heightened by adding compound tinc- 
 ture of cudbear. 
 
 The original process is here modified 
 by a slight change in the quantities of 
 the drug so as to reduce the preparation 
 to the strength of that of the N. F., and 
 also by a slight change in the men- 
 struum. 
 
 Of the five formulas here given, it is 
 the least satisfactory because detanna- 
 tion with egg-white is less satisfactory 
 than with ferric hydrate or lime.

 tate which at the end of the reaction 
 collects in large flakes and separates 
 rapidly from the clear liquid. Wash 
 the precipitate by decantation several 
 times with water and drain on muslin 
 or on a filter. Transfer the precipitate 
 to a capsule, add the solution of soda 
 diluted with 10 fluidrams of distilled

 Dissolve the iron phosphate and potas- 
 sium citrate in the water, using gentle 
 heat, if necessary. To 12 fluidounces of 
 aromatic elixir, contained in a bottle, 
 add the alcohol, and afterwards the al- 
 kaloidal salts, and agitate until the latter 
 are dissolved, or nearly so. Then mix 
 the two solutions, and, having shaken 
 the mixture, add the remainder of the 
 aromatic elixir. Finally, filter. 
 
 This elixir should preferably not be 
 dispensed in a mixture with water, as 
 the latter may cause separation of some 
 of its constituents. 
 
 Each fluidram contains 2 gr. of iron 
 phosphate, l / 2 gr. of cinchonidine sulfate, 
 and 1/100 gr. of strychnine sulfate. —

 Elixir of Iron, Quinine and Strych- 
 nine" Phosphates. (Elixir of 
 Three or Triple Phosphates.) 
 
 Nearly all of the preparations dis- 
 pensed under this name contain the iron 
 as phosphate or pyrophosphate, and the 
 quinine and strychnine in some other 
 form than as phosphate. If it be desired 
 to dispense such a preparation as "elixir 
 of three phosphates," then any of the 
 preparations made according to formu- 
 las given in this formulary under elixir 
 o£ iron phosphate, or pyrophosphate, 
 quinine and strychnine may be dis- 
 pensed. 
 
 The following formulas do actually 
 contain the three bases in the form of 
 phosphates.

 the alcohol, then add the phosphoric acid 
 and 6 fluidounces of aromatic elixir. 
 Add the ammonium carbonate to the 
 acetic acid contained in a beaker or 
 graduate, and when solution is com- 
 plete, neutralize with ammonia water 
 
88 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 and add enough distilled water to bring 
 the volume up to 6 fluidrams. Mix the 
 ammonium acetate solution with the 
 solution of quinine and strychnine phos- 
 phates, and add enough aromatic elixir 
 to make the liquid measure 14 fluid- 
 ounces. Dissolve the iron salt in 4 
 fluidrams of distilled water by the aid 
 of a gentle heat, and if the solution be 
 acid to litmus paper, neutralize it ex- 
 actly with ammonia water, add enough 
 aromatic elixir to make 2 fluidounces, 
 add this to the preceding liquid, and fil- 
 ter the whole. 
 
 This preparation conforms in strength 
 to that claimed for the majority of the 
 elixirs of the market, containing in each 
 fluidrarn 1 gr. of iron phosphate, and ^2 
 gr. of quinine and 1/64 gr. of strych- 
 nine, all in the form of the phosphates. 
 If an elixir of twice the strength be 
 desired, it can readily be made by 
 doubling the quantities of all the ingre- 
 dients, except the aromatic elixir. 
 
 With some samples of iron phosphate, 
 a slightly increased quantity of the am- 
 monium acetate solution may be neces- 
 sary, possibly owing to loss of water by 
 evaporation and a consequent relative in- 
 crease of the proportion of ammonia 
 water.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 Elixir of Licorice, Aromatic. (Com- 
 pound Elixir of Licorice — "Qui- 
 nine Elixir.") 
 This elixir is employed for disguising 
 the taste of bitter medicines, particularly 
 quinine. No acid should be used be- 
 cause it dissolves the quinine and makes 
 its bitter taste more perceptible, and at 
 the same time liberates the glycyrrhizin 
 from its combination with ammonia and 
 renders it insoluble, and therefore value- 
 less for the purpose of disguising or 
 modifying taste.

 arations may readily be made by the ad- 
 dition of aromatic elixir colored with 
 compound tincture of cudbear in the 
 proportion used in the above formula. 
 
 To make a 20 per cent, elixir of paral- 
 dehyde, for instance, 4 fluidounces of the 
 25 per cent, elixir are mixed with 1 
 fluidounce of colored aromatic elixir. 
 To make 5 fluidounces of 15 per*cent.

 The best commercial variety of dias- 
 tase, capable of converting the largest 
 amount of starch into dextrin and glu- 
 cose, should be used for this prepara-

 It is now known that pepsin, pancrea- 
 tin and diastase mutually destroy one 
 another when present together in a 
 liquid, in a period of from 3 to 6 weeks, 
 and hence this and similar preparations 
 should either be discontinued entirely or 
 else made in only such quantities as will 
 e quickly consumed.

 Elixir, Simple. 
 
 By simple elixir is commonly under- 
 stood a flavored and sweetened dilute 
 alcohol, intended as a vehicle for medic- 
 inal remedies, the flavoring agent being 
 a volatile oil or combination of oils. 
 The term may, however, include all 
 such elixirs as are employed as vehicles, 
 although these may be something more 
 than a flavored and sweetened dilute al- 
 cohol. 
 
 If the second definition holds good, 
 then the following elixirs, which have 
 already been mentioned, will come un- 
 der the head of simple elixirs : Elixir 
 of orange, elixir of cherries, aromatic 
 elixir, compound elixir of taraxacum, 
 elixir de Garus, elixir of anise and ad- 
 juvant elixir. 
 
 Whenever simple elixir is mentioned, 
 as an ingredient of a preparation in this 
 formulary, some one of the elixirs that 
 are prepared by simply flavoring and 
 sweetening dilute alcohol should be se- 
 lected, using such a one as will best 
 disguise the taste of the medicament ; at 
 times it will, of course, be found neces- 
 sary or advantageous to employ one of 
 the others, like compound elixir of ta- 
 raxacum, elixir of cherries, etc. In case 
 there be no preference whatever, the 
 aromatic elixir of the U. S. P. should 
 be used. 
 
 It is suggested that a finer product 
 will always be obtained by using de- 
 odorized alcohol instead of ordinary al- 
 
 cohol; also that no volatile oil be used 
 which is not only perfectly pure, but 
 also perfectly fresh. The favorite pre- 
 dominant odor of simple elixir is that 
 of orange peel.

 other than the preceding are the follow- 
 ing :

 Emulsions and Emulsifiers. 
 
 The N. F. states that the successful 
 formation of emulsions, whether of fix- 
 ed or volatile oils, is most .satisfactorily 
 and expeditiously accomplished with 
 powdered acacia as the emulsifying 
 agent. Hence, preference is given 
 acacia, though other emulsifying agents 
 are not ignored. 
 
 When acacia is used as the emulsify- 
 ing agent of fixed oils, it is important 
 that the oil, the acacia and the water 
 shall primarily be in absolutely definite 
 proportion to each other by weight. 
 This proportion is 8 parts of oil, 2 
 parts of acacia, and 3 parts of water. 
 The oil and acacia, the latter in fine 
 powder, are weighed into a mortar, and 
 well mixed by trituration ; the water is 
 then added in one portion, and the 
 whole is triturated briskly until a thick, 
 creamy emulsion is produced, the sides 
 of the mortar being carefully scraped, 
 and the mixture again triturated so as 
 to insure the complete emulsification of 
 all the oil. During warm weather, the 
 water and oil should be cooled. The 
 other ingredients may then be gradual- 
 ly added ; first the flavoring, then the 
 greater part of the water necessary to 
 make the final quantity, then the syrup, 
 etc. Finally the quantity is adjusted by 
 the addition of sufficient water. 
 
 Alcoholic liquids should be added last 
 and should be previously mixed with a 
 portion of the water. 
 
 If these simple conditions and direc- 
 tions are carefully observed, and par- 
 ticularly if the proportions by weight 
 are accurate, a perfect emulsion is ob- 
 tained with certainty and rapidity. 
 
 In making emulsions of volatile oils, 
 the use of tragacanth, or of tragacanth 
 and acacia mixed, is more satisfactory 
 
 than acacia alone, despite the above 
 statement of the N. F. Even in mak- 
 ing emulsions of fixed oils it is desirable 
 to add a small amount of powdered 
 tragacanth ; this gives more "body" to 
 the emulsion and, if used in proper pro- 
 portion, the emulsion will not separate 
 in the least. Large manufacturers of 
 cod-liver oil emulsions habitually use a 
 mixture of acacia and tragacanth as the 
 emulsifier. A mixture of Irish moss 
 mucilage and acacia is also a favorite. 
 Less acacia is required if tragacanth or 
 Irish moss mucilage be employed in 
 connection with it. 
 
 With other emulsifying agents — muci- 
 lage of Irish moss, mucilage of dex- 
 trin, glycerite of yolk egg (glyconin), 
 tincture of soap bark — the proportions 
 need not be adjusted with the same 
 minuteness. It suffices to place the 
 emulsifier into a bottle or mortar, and 
 to add the oil in small portions at a 
 time, shaking or triturating briskly after 
 each addition until emulsification is 
 completed. Obviously the preparation of 
 this class of emulsions is very much fa- 
 cilitated by mechanical contrivances that 
 are capable of producing brisk agitation 
 and mingling of the two fluids, and such 
 are necessarily resorted to when emul- 
 sions are to be made in large quantities 
 for the market. 
 
 The above-mentioned emulsifiers do 
 not, by any means, include all those 
 known, nor even all those commonly 
 accepted. Extract of malt is an excellent 
 emulsifier for fixed oils, and formulas 
 for combinations of malt extract with 
 cod liver oil will be found under Ex- 
 tract of Malt, which see. 
 
 Powdered gum tragacanth may also 
 be used as an emulsifier but while it is 
 fairly satisfactory for volatile oils, ■ it 
 alone is scarcely efficient for fixed oils. 
 Besides the quality of available powder- 
 ed tragacanth is exceedingly variable 
 This latter statement also applies to 
 powdered acacia of which only the very 
 best quality should be employed. 
 
 Saccharated casein is an excellent

 emulsifier of fixed oils. It is prepared 
 by heating any suitable quantity of 
 cow's milk, say, one gallon, to 40 deg. 
 G, adding 2 fluidounces of 10 p. c. 
 ammonia water, or somewhat more if 
 the ammonia water be weaker, and set- 
 ting aside in a separatory funnel for 24 
 hours. Then draw off the lower limpid 
 layer, the so-called "lactoserum," from 
 the upper layer of partially saponified 
 cream or fat. To this lactoserum add 
 acetic acid until no further precipita- 
 tion occurs. Wash the precipitate re- 
 peatedly with water at a temperature of 
 35 to 40 deg. C. until the water is no 
 longer acid. Then collect the precipi- 
 tate on a muslin strainer and press it 
 to remove excess of water. In the re- 
 sulting cake, determine the proportion 
 of actual casein by drying a small 
 weighed portion in a drying oven at 
 no deg. C. Now triturate the moist 
 cake of casein with 4 av. ounces of 
 powdered sugar until well mixed, and 
 then incorporate 8 parts of sodium bi- 
 carbonate for every 100 parts of casein 
 calculated as dry. Under the influence 
 of prolonged trituration, in the pres- 
 ence of the sodium bicarbonate, the 
 casein swells up and becomes thinner, 
 translucent, and soluble in water. On 
 no account must the bicarbonate be 
 added directly to the casein as a tough, 
 unmanageable mass would result. Add 
 more powdered sugar until there are 9 
 parts by weight of powdered sugar for 
 every 1 part of casein calculated as dry. 
 A mixture of about the consistence of 
 lozenge paste is formed, which should 
 be divided into small fragments, well 
 dried at a temperature of 25 to 30kdeg. 
 C, powdered fine, and enough powdered 
 sugar added, if necessary, to make the 
 whole weigh 10 times as much as the 
 weight of the casein in the original 
 moist mass calculated as dry. 
 
 Still other emulsifying agents are 
 condensed milk, gelatin, egg yolk, muci- 
 lages of acacia and linseed, etc. Some- 
 times it is of advantage to combine two 
 emulsifiers. The latest recommended 
 
 emulsifier is saponin, the active prin- 
 ciple soap bark and soapwort. 
 
 Finally, there are also a number of 
 proprietary emulsifiers on the market 
 which are in powder form. The advan- 
 tages claimed for these are that the 
 emulsion may be produced by agitation 
 in a bottle, that the emulsion is per- 
 manent, and that only a small quantity 
 of the emulsifier is required (in some 
 cases 4 drams is sufficient to make one 
 pint of emulsion which may contain as 
 much as 50 per cent, of oil). 
 
 The following mixtures will equal the 
 above referred-to proprietary emulsi- 
 fiers: 
 
 I. Equal parts of acacia, tragacanth, 
 sugar and corn starch, all to be in fine 
 powder, and the gums to be of the best 
 quality. Mix well.

 The above hints and suggestions re-

 be made of substances which contain 
 not only the oil or resin to be emulsi-

 Examples of such substances are gum- 
 resins and seeds. See Emulsion of 
 Ammoniac and of Asafetida for ex-

 and manner of making the same. The 
 German and Austrian pharmacopeias 
 direct that when no directions are given 
 for making a seed emulsion, the product 
 should represent io p. c. by weight of 
 seed (equivalent to i pint of emulsion 
 from i}i av. ounces of seed). 
 
 All emulsions may be flavored with 
 volatile oils, flavoring syrups, or other- 
 wise. This will be explained in detail 
 under Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil, 
 which see. 
 
 All emulsions should be shaken before

 Introduce the tragacanth into a per-

 add the chloroform, and shake the bot- 
 tle thoroughly so that every part of the 
 
 interior surface may become wetted. 
 Then add about 1 fluidounce of water 
 and incorporate it by vigorous shak- 
 ing. Next add the oil, in several por- 
 tions, shaking after each addition, and 
 when the oil has become thoroughlv 
 emulsified, add enough water, in divid- 
 ed portions, shaking after each addi- 
 tion, until the product measures 4 fluid- 
 ounces. — U. S. P. 
 
 The above involved procedure is un- 
 necessary. An equally efficient and 
 more convenient method of emulsifying 
 the chloroform is to mix it with all the 
 oil in a suitable bottle, turn the bottle 
 about so as to moisten every portion of 
 its interior with the oily mixture, then 
 introduce the tragacanth, agitate until 
 well mixed, then add, all at once, 3 
 fluidounces of water, agitate the whole 
 thoroughly until well mixed, and finallv 
 incorporate the remainder of the water.

 Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. 
 
 The U. S. P. recognizes one emul- 
 sion of cod liver oil, which is made 
 with acacia, while the N. F. recognizes 
 four emulsions of cod liver oil made 
 with acacia, mucilage of Irish moss, 
 glycerite of yolk of egg, and dextrin 
 mucilage. These emulsions may be 
 plain; that is, may consist simply of 
 oil, emulsifier, water, sugar and flavor- 
 ing, or they may be combined with 
 other agents, such as hypophosphites,' 
 phosphates, lactophosphates, phosphorus, 
 creosote, etc., or perhaps with two or 
 more such agents. The method adopted 
 in incorporating these medicaments 
 varies according to its character; if it 
 be soluble in the oil, it is added to the 
 latter before emulsifying, and if soluble 
 in water it is dissolved in the latter be- 
 fore it is added to the mixture of gum 
 and oil. Should, however, the sub- 
 stance not be soluble in either the oil 
 or water, then other methods still must 
 be adopted ; if it be solid in character, 
 it should be triturated to a very fine 
 powder and be added to the emulsion; 
 if it be an alcoholic liquid, like tincture 
 of benzoin or spirit of nitrous ether, 
 it is generally best to add it to the 
 emulsion after all the water has been 
 added. 
 
 Flavoring. — Emulsions of cod-liver oil 
 usually require flavoring, and this con- 
 sists most frequently in the addition of 
 a volatile oil, like cassia, wintergreen, 
 bitter almond, sassafras, etc., which 
 should be added to the oil before emul- 
 sification, or it may consist of a flavored 
 syrup like syrup of tolu, which should 
 be incorporated with the emulsion 
 after most of the water has been added. 
 No objection can be made to using two 
 or three flavoring agents. 
 
 Since no single or compound aromatic 
 can be devised which would be accept- 
 able under all circumstances as a flavor- 
 
 ing for emulsion of cod-liver oil, the 
 selection of the most suitable aromatic 
 must be left to the prescriber or dis- 
 penser. Among those which are found 
 to be most serviceable, according to 
 the N. R, are the following, the quan- 
 tities given below being intended for 
 16 fluidounces of finished emulsion, 
 though in some cases a smaller or a 
 larger quantity, in the same proportions, 
 may be preferable: 
 
 1. Oil of wintergreen m. 30 
 
 2. Oil of wintergreen m. 15 
 
 Oil of sassafras m. 15 
 
 3. Compound spirit of orange... m. 15

 Oil of bitter almond. , m. 20 
 
 7. Oil of neroli m. 15 
 
 Oil of bitter almond. m. 15 
 
 Oil of clove drops 4 to 6 
 
 Preservation. — When an emulsion of 
 cod-liver oil is to be kept for some time, 
 its deterioration may be prevented or 
 retarded by the addition of 1 fluid- 
 ounce of alcohol in the place of the 
 same quantity of water, when making 
 16 fluidounces of emulsion. 
 
 The emulsions here given are made 
 with the use of different emulsifying 
 agents and different flavoring agents, 
 but no one need be restricted to the 
 use of such of either as may be men- 
 tioned. 
 
 In the formulas for acacia cod-liver 
 oil emulsions taken from the N. F., the 
 proportions of oil and acacia relative to 
 the total ammount have been slightly 
 increased; the N. F. directs 464 grams 
 of oil and 116 of acacia to make 1000 
 cc, where as this work directs 8 av. 
 ounces of oil and 2 of acacia to make 16 
 fluidounces. The slight increase makes 
 no difference and conveniently rounds 
 out the quantities.

 Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil, Stronger. 
 
 Prepare this like emulsion of cod- 
 liver oil No. I or II, but adding only 
 enough water to make 14 fluidounces of 
 product. 
 
 Instead of using formula No. I or II, 
 Nos. Ill, IV, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI 
 or XII may be used instead if thought 
 more desirable, leaving out a portion of 
 the water as before. 
 
 This makes a stock emulsion to be 
 used for preparing the usual 50 per cent, 
 simple emulsion of cod-liver oil, or 
 compound emulsions containing such ad- 
 ditions as may be desired. 
 
 It is advisable to keep this emulsion 
 in the bottles in which the emulsions are 
 usually dispensed, 7 fluidounces in an 
 8-ounce bottle, 14 fluidounces in a 16- 
 ounce bottle, etc. Whenever an emul- 
 sion of cod-liver oil, simple or com- 
 pound, is wanted it can then, in many 
 cases at least, be quickly prepared by 
 simple addition of the requisite ingre- 
 dients. The medicating agent, if liquid, 
 may be added, the mixture agitated, 
 enough water added to fill the bottle, 
 and the whole again agitated. Or if 
 the medicating liquid be solid, it may be 
 dissolved, or, if insoluble, triturated 
 with the water, the solution or mix- 
 ture added to the emulsion, enough wa- 
 ter added to fill the bottle, and the 
 whole again well agitated.

 This differs from the formula of the 
 N. F. (No. II) and the two formulas 
 illustrate different methods of making 
 emulsions of volatile oils. It is consid- 
 ered that the addition of a bland fixed 
 oil to a volatile oil makes the emulsion 
 more permanent. About 1 volume of 
 fixed oil to 2 volumes of volatile oil 
 will be sufficient

 Pour the oil into a perfectly dry vial, 
 having a capacity of a little more than 
 8 fluidounces, and shake so that the in- 
 ner surface may be completely wetted 
 by the oil. Then add the acacia, and 
 shake again. Now add one-half of the 
 water, and shake until the <^1 separates 
 in form of a milky emulsion. Add the 
 remainder of the water, and continue 
 the shaking until the oil separates from 
 
 the water in the form of a creamy emul- 
 sion upon standing. 
 
 This emulsion must be shaken before 
 dispensing. 
 
 The formula for this strong emulsion 
 of oil of turpentine is essentially that 
 proposed by Mr. J. W. Forbes, in 1872. 
 While the oil separates in the form of a 
 cream-like layer upon standing, the two 
 liquids are easily united by brief sha- 
 king. It keeps well, and is useful for 
 dispensing small quantities of oil of tur- 
 pentine in a fairly well emulsified con- 
 dition. 
 Emulsions of Volatile Oils. 
 
 The present National Formulary 
 states that although volatile oils are 
 readily emulsionized by themselves, the 
 addition of a small portion of some 
 bland fixed oil, such as sweet almond 
 oil, is an advantage. Usually about 1 
 volume of fixed oil will be enough for 
 2 volumes of the volatile oil as exem- 
 plified in the following: 
 
 Volatile oil gr. 150 
 
 Sweet almond oil gr. 90 
 
 Acacia, fine powder gr. 60 
 
 Simple syrup fl.dr. 6 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 3 
 
 Weigh the oils carefully into a mor- 
 tar, add the acacia and triturate them 
 thoroughly together; then add 90 gr. of 
 water, carefully weighed, and triturate 
 briskly until a creamy emulsion is pro- 
 duced. To this add the syrup and 
 enough water to make 3 fluidounces of 
 emulsion. 
 
 The former N. F. gave a different 
 formula, which is worth mentioning: 
 
 Volatile fl.dr. 4 
 
 Acacia, fine powder gr. no 
 
 Simple syrup fl.oz. I 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 4 
 
 Pour the oil into a perfectly dry bot- 
 tle, and, having corked the latter, agitate 
 it so that the inner surface will be com- 
 pletely wetted by the oil; then add file 
 acacia, and shake again; finally add the 
 syrup and enough water to make 4 fluid- 
 ounces, and mix thoroughly. 
 
 This latter is the so-called "bottle 
 method" of making emulsions.

 Still another method of making an 
 emulsion of a volatile oil may be found 
 under Emulsion of Turpentine Oil. 
 - Emulsions of volatile oils (without 
 fixed oil) made with acacia will sep- 
 arate into aqueous and creamy layers, 
 the former occupying but a small por- 
 tion of the total volume. Tragacanth 
 makes an emulsion which is liable to be 
 so thick that it cannot be poured from 
 the bottle. A better emulsion will be 
 obtained if acacia and tragacanth be uni- 
 ted as follows :

 Extracts. (Solid Extracts.) 
 
 These are solid or semi-solid prepara- 
 tions, generally made by exhausting a 
 drug, usually in a more or less fine 
 powder, with a suitable menstruum, then 
 evaporating the liquid obtained either 
 to dryness or to pilular consistence. 
 
 The process of the U. S. P. for the 
 majority of its extracts is about as fol- 
 lows : Moisten i av.pound of drug with 
 6^4 fluidounces of menstruum, pack it 
 firmly in a cylindrical percolator, prefer- 
 ably of glass, and add enough men- 
 struum to saturate the drug and leave 
 a stratum of liquid above it. When the 
 liquid begins to drop from the percola- 
 tor, close the lower orifice, and having 
 closely covered the percolator, macerate 
 for 48 hours. Then allow percolation to 
 proceed (the rate of flow should be 
 from 2 to 5 drops a minute), gradually 
 adding more menstruum until 46 fluid- 
 ounces of percolate are obtained or the 
 drug is exhausted. Reserve the first 
 14^4 fluidounces of percolate, evaporate 
 the remainder in a porcelain capsule at 
 a temperature, usually, about 50 or 70 
 deg. G, to i l / 2 fluidounces, add the 
 reserved portion, and evaporate the 
 liquid at or below the above-mentioned 
 temperature either to pilular consistence 
 or to dryness. 
 
 While the above process is a typical 
 one for many extracts, the U. S. P. has 
 many deviations from it. In many cases, 
 the fluid extract is used to make the 
 extract, thereby avoiding the preliminary 
 extraction of the drug. 
 
 The U. S. P. directs that the drug 
 may be extracted by the process of re- 
 percolation or any other process that 
 will exhaust the drug. (See Extracts, 
 Fluid.) 
 
 About one-half of the extracts of the 
 U. S. P. are evaporated to pilular con- 
 sistence, the other half to dryness. To 
 
 the pilular extracts, the U. S. P. 1890 
 directed the addition of 10 per cent, by 
 weight of glycerin while still warm to 
 keep them in a permanently plastic con- 
 dition. The U. S. P. 1880 directed but 
 5 per cent., which is probably quite suf- 
 ficient. The present U. S. P. directs 10 
 p. c. in the preliminary portion of the 
 book, but does not direct its use in only 
 one of the formulas, viz., licorice, when 
 5 p. c. is specified. 
 
 Many of the dry extracts of the U. S. 
 P. are directed to be reduced to fine 
 powder and enough powdered peeled 
 Russian licorice root added to establish 
 a definite relationship between the fin- 
 ished extract and the drug. In the pre- 
 liminary portion of the U. S. P., it is 
 stated that dried and powdered marc of 
 the same drug may be used for this pur- 
 pose. 
 
 ' Anew feature of the present U. S. P. 
 is that many extracts are to be assayed. 
 
 According to the Germ. Pharm^ the 
 drug is to be extracted according to 
 the method adapted to each case and 
 the liquid is to be evaporated to extract 
 consistency. Alcoholic liquids are to be 
 evaporated at a temperature not exceed- 
 ing 85 deg. C, ethereal liquids at a tem- 
 perature not above 35 deg. C. When 
 alcohol has been used in the menstruum, 
 small amounts of alcohol should be add- 
 ed towards the end of the evaporation 
 and the liquid stirred constantly. Ex- 
 tracts are either to be of the consistency 
 of fresh honey, thick so that when cold 
 they cannot be poured from the vessel, 
 or dry when they may be rubbed to 
 powder. Dry extracts are to be pre- 
 pared by evaporating the liquid in a 
 porcelain vessel on a steam or water 
 bath to tough consistency, while warm 
 removed from the dish, pulled into 
 strings, and then dried at a gentle heat. 
 
 Dry narcotic extracts are to be pre- 
 pared from the thick extracts by mixing 
 4 parts of the latter with 3 parts of fine- 
 ly-powdered licorice root, mixed thor- 
 oughly in a porcelain evaporating dishj

 Extracts, Fluid. (Called Fluidex- 
 tracts by the U. S. P., 9th Re- 
 vision.) 
 These are preparations which, accord- 
 ing to the U. S. P. and N. F., represent 
 ioo grams of drug in every ico cubic 
 centimeters of liquid, or, in other terms, 
 i pint (16 fluidounces) of fluid extract 
 contain the virtues of i6^4 av. ounces of 
 drug. 
 
 There are a number of processes for 
 making these preparations, all of them 
 being more or less satisfactory, but all 
 having some disadvantageous features. 
 The process directed by the U. S. P. is 
 known as "maceration and percolation" 
 or as "simple percolation." The follow- 
 ing is the general process, the kind of 
 menstruum, and the quantity of perco- 
 late to be set aside as reserve being 
 specified in each case: 
 
 i6}i av.ounces of drug in No. 6o pow- 
 der are thoroughly moistened with 6^ 
 fluidounces of menstruum, packed firm- 
 ly in a cylindrical percolator, preferably 
 of glass, and enough menstruum is 
 poured on to completely saturate the 
 powder and leave a stratum of liquid 
 above it. When the liquid begins to 
 drop from the percolator, close the low- 
 er orifice, and having closely covered the 
 percolator to prevent evaporation, mac- 
 erate for 48 hours. Then allow perco- 
 lation to proceed slowly, gradually add- 
 ing menstruum until the drug is ex- 
 hausted. Reserve the first n}4 to 14^/2 
 fluidounces of percolate and evaporate 
 the remainder of the percolate at a tem- 
 perature not exceeding 50 deg. C. to soft 
 extract, dissolve this in the reserved 
 portion, and add enough menstruum to 
 make 16 fluidounces of product, if the 
 menstruum in the course of making the 
 fluid extract be changed, the second 
 menstruum is the one added at the end 
 
 to make up the volume of 16 fluid- 
 ounces. The evaporation of the weak 
 percolate may be conducted in a still so 
 as to recover the larger portion of the 
 alcohol contained therein, then the evap- 
 oration may be completed in a porcelain 
 capsule on a water bath at not above the 
 specified temperature. 
 
 The U. S. P. also permits the use of 
 the process of repercolation whenever 
 practicable. 
 
 The fluid extracts of the N. F. are to 
 be prepared according to one of the fol- 
 lowing two processes, the particular one 
 to be employed being designated in each 
 case. These two processes are neces- 
 sary because, in the preparation of some 
 fluid extracts, two menstrua are suc- 
 cessively used, the first containing glyc- 
 erin, and being in definite proportion to 
 the drug used, while the second is free 
 from glycerin, being intended for the 
 exhaustion of the drug and subsequent 
 evaporation. Accordingly these men- 
 strua are designated as menstruum I 
 (containing glycerin) and menstruum II 
 (containing no glycerin). As an alter- 
 native to either of these processes, a 
 third process, termed fractional perco- 
 lation, may be used. In this the use of 
 heat is avoided, and it involves the use 
 of only one kind of menstruum, even 
 in the case of drugs for which two dif- 
 ferent menstrua (I and II) are pre- 
 scribed. In the case of the latter, a 
 sufficient quantity of menstruum I must 
 be prepared to serve throughout the 
 process. 
 
 Process A. The Menstruum contains 
 no Glycerin. 
 
 This is practically the same as the U. 
 S. P. process, 14 fluidounces of percolate 
 to be reserved for 16^ av. ounces of 
 drug, and the second percolate to be 
 evaporated at a temperature sufficiently 
 low to prevent loss of any important 
 volatile constituent (the temperature di- 
 rected by the U. S. P. should be pre- 
 ferred), the soft extract to be dissolved 
 in enough menstruum so that when add- 
 ed to the reserve portion, the total will

 measure 16 fluidounces. Allow the prod- 
 uct to stand a few days, or longer, if 
 convenient, and filter, if necessary. 
 
 Process B. The Menstruum contains 
 Glycerin. 
 
 Moisten 16Y4. av. ounces of the drug 
 with a sufficient quantity of mentsruum 
 I to render it distinctly damp and to 
 maintain it so after several hours' mac- 
 eration in a well-covered vessel. When 
 the drug has ceased to swell, pack it in 
 a suitable percolator and pour the re- 
 mainder of menstruum I on top. When 
 this has just disappeared from the sur- 
 face, follow it by a sufficient quantity of 
 menstruum II. As soon as the perco- 
 late begins to drop from the orifice, 
 close the latter, cover the percolator, 
 and allow the contents to macerate dur- 
 ing 24 (or better 48) hours. Then per- 
 mit the percolation to proceed. Receive 
 the first 13V2 fluidounces of the perco- 
 late separately and set it aside. Then 
 continue the percolation with men- 
 struum II, until the drug is practically 
 exhausted. Evaporate this second por- 
 tion — at a temperature sufficiently low 
 to prevent the loss of any important 
 volatile constituent — to a soft extract, 
 and dissolve this in a sufficient quantity 
 of menstruum II, so that when this is 
 added to the reserved portion, the prod- 
 uct will measure 16 fluidounces. Allow 
 the fluid extract to stand a few days, or 
 longer, if convenient, and filter, if nec- 
 essary. 
 
 Process C. Fractional Percolation. 
 
 Take of the drug, in powder of the 
 prescribed fineness, i6^4 av. ounces and 
 divide it into three portions of 8 l / 2 , S/i 
 and 3 av. ounces. 
 
 Moisten the first portion of the drug 
 (8H av. ounces) with the menstruum 
 and percolate in the usual manner. Set 
 aside the first 3 fluidounces of perco- 
 late, and continue until 24 fluidounces 
 more of percolate have passed, which 
 must be received in several portions, so 
 that the more concentrated will be sep- 
 arate from the last, weak percolate. 
 
 Then moisten the second portion of 
 
 the drug (5*4 av. ounces) with the more 
 concentrated percolates received during 
 the preceding operation after the first 
 3 fluidounces have passed, and percolate 
 again in the usual manner, using the 
 several reserved percolates, successively, 
 as menstrua. Set aside the first 5 fluid- 
 ounces and continue the percolation un- 
 til 10 fluidounces more have passed, 
 which should also be received in sev- 
 eral portions. 
 
 Finally moisten the third portion of 
 the drug (3 av. ounces) with the most 
 concentrated of the last reserved perco- 
 lates, and proceed as directed for the 
 second portion. Collect 8 fluidounces 
 of percolate, and mix with the two por- 
 tions (5 and 3 fluidounces) previously 
 set aside, so as to make 16 fluidounces 
 of fluid extract. 
 
 Note. — If this method is applied to 
 drugs for which the Process B is di- 
 rected, use a sufficient quantity of 
 menstruum I to obtain the required 
 quantities of percolate, and omit the 
 use of menstruum II. 
 
 Manufacturing firms employ still 
 other processes besides those described 
 above. 
 
 The liquid extracts of the Brit. 
 Pharm. are usually, though not in all 
 instances, of the same strength as the 
 fluid extracts of the U. S. P. and N. F. 
 and are made by processes similar to 
 those used in the latter. 
 
 According to the Germ. Pharm., fluid 
 extracts are made by percolation, 100 
 parts by weight of product being made 
 from 100 parts by weight of drug. The 
 rate of flow of liquid is not to exceed 
 more than 40 drops per minute. The 
 first 85 parts by weight of percolate are 
 to be reserved, percolation is to be con- 
 tinued until the drug is exhausted, this 
 weak percolate is to be evaporated at a 
 temperature which will avoid loss ot 
 active volatile constituents to thin ex- 
 tract, and then dissolved in enough 
 menstruum to make 15 parts which is to 
 be added to the reserved percolate.

 Extract of Belladonna, Alcoholic. 
 (Extract of Belladonna Root.) 
 Evaporate one fluidounce of liquid 
 extract of belladonna (see Extract, 
 Fluid, of Belladonna) in a tared porce- 
 lain capsule, on a water bath, to the 
 consistence of a moderately firm ex- 
 tract, and weigh. Substract the weight, 
 in grains, of the extract obtaine'd from 
 3^0 grains ; the difference indicates the 
 amount of milk sugar to be used as a 
 d^uent for each fluidounce of liquid ex- 
 tract to make the extract. 
 
 Now evaporate 8 fluidounces of the 
 
 liquid extract to a thin syrup, add to 
 it the requisite quantity of milk sugar 
 as determined from the data obtained 
 from the foregoing experiment, and 
 continue the evaporation until the ex- 
 tract weighs 6*4 av. ounces. — Brit. 
 Pharm. 
 
 The extract of the Brit. Pharm. 1885 
 contained no milk sugar and average 
 samples of it were about the strength of 
 the extract of the present Brit. Pharm. 
 
 Extract of Belladonna, Green. 
 
 Bruise the fresh leaves and young 
 branches in a mortar (stone, marble or 
 wedgewood, not metal), press out the 
 juice and heat it to 55 deg. C. Separate 
 the green coloring matter by straining 
 through cloth, heat the strained liquid 
 to 95 deg. C.j and filter. Evaporate the 
 filtrate on a water bath to the consist- 
 ence of thin syrup ; add to this the 
 green coloring previously separated and 
 passed through a hair sieve, stir the 
 whole well together, and evaporate at a 
 temperature not exceeding 55 deg. C. to 
 the consistence of soft extract. 
 
 At a temperature of 55 deg. C, the 
 chlorophyll is coagulated ; at 95 deg. C. 
 the albumen is coagulated. The latter 
 is filtered out and rejected; the former 
 is reincorporated with the extract, and 
 the product will be bright green in 
 color. Towards the end of the evapora- 
 tion, the extract must be stirred con- 
 stantly and vigorously so that the chlor- 
 ophyll will be in intimate mixture with 
 the extract. — Brit. Pharm. 
 
 The above may be used as a general 
 process for making the so-called "green" 
 or "English extracts."

 The fluid extract of cascara sagrada 
 of the market varies greatly. Some 
 brands are sweetened, either with sac- 
 charine or sugar, some contain licorice 
 extract. 
 
 A formula recommended for making 
 this fluid extract is to exhaust 16 av. 
 ounces of the drug by passing water 
 through it, evaporating the percolate on 
 a water bath to 12 fluidounces, adding 
 3 fluidounces of alcohol and 1 fluid- 
 ounce of glycerite of licorice, and filter- 
 ing, if necessary.

 the preparation is further improved by 
 adding sugar, saccharin, licorice, and 
 flavoring oils and spirits. The following

 mixture in a percolator and allow to 
 macerate about 48 hours; then add the 
 alcohol and allow to macerate 12 hours 
 longer. Now start percolation with di- 
 luted alcohol and continue until the 
 drug is exhausted. The percolation 
 should be allowed to go on very slowly 
 at first, the heavier portion being re- 
 served to the amount of about 13 fluid- 
 ounces and the remainder in succession 
 to about 16 fluidounces. Recover the 
 alcohol, commencing with the most di- 
 lute of the liquors, and evaporate until 
 the whole is reduced to 12 fluidounces, 
 including the glycerin ; to this product 
 add the extract of licorice, saccharin 
 and oil of fennel, the whole to measure 
 16 fluidounces. If the total volume falls 
 short of 16 fluidounces, add enough di- 
 luted alcohol. 
 
 This process may be varied slightly 
 as follows : Evaporate the percolate to 
 8 fluidounces (without the glycerin), 
 and add 8 fluidounces of glycerite of 
 licorice, the saccharin and oil.

 aside in a covered vessel for 48 hours, 
 stirring frequently, and transfer to a 
 percolator. When the liquid ceases to 
 pass and the contents of the percolator 
 have been properly packed, continue the 
 percolation with distilled water until 180 
 fluidounces of percolate have been ob- 
 tained or until it no longer gives a 
 precipitate when mixed with an excess 
 of solution of potassium hydrate. This 
 percolate is then to be evaporated, in a

 Reject this percolate and remove and 
 dry the ergot. Then re-pack in the per- 
 colator and percolate with a mixture of 
 7 fluid ounces, alcohol and \ l / 2 fluid 
 ounces water, to which the hydrochloric 
 acid has been added. When the liquid 
 begins to drop from the percolator, close 
 the lower orifice, and having closely cov- 
 ered the percolator, macerate for 48 
 hours. Then allow percolation to pro- 
 ceed, gradually adding menstruum, using 
 the same proportions of alcohol and 
 water as before, until the drug is ex- 
 hausted. Evaporate the percolate in a 
 porcelain dish by means of a water bath, 
 at a temperature not exceeding 70 deg. 
 C, to a pilular consistence. — U. S. P. 
 
 This process is simpler and much pre- 
 ferable to that in the former edition, as 
 the ergot is now deprived of its oil be- 
 fore extraction. In the former process, 
 the use of sodium carbonate was not 
 nearly so satisfactory, owing to the 
 somewhat soapy product. 
 
 All the alkaloid (cornutine) is re- 
 tained in solution, while much useless 
 matter such as fixed oil, resin, coloring 
 matter, etc., is removed ; a small amount 
 of sodium chlorid remains in solution, 
 but this does no harm. The extract is 
 of the consistency of thick honey, rep- 
 resents 8 times its weight of drug, 
 makes a perfectly clear solution with 
 water, and is well adapted for hypo- 
 dermic use. 
 
 It is almost needless to say that the 
 ergotin or extract of ergot of commerce 
 is not made by any such careful method. 
 Usually the drug is extracted with a 
 more or less aqueous menstruum, and 
 the liquid is evaporated to extract con- 
 sistency. Bon jean's ergotin was origi- 
 nally made by exhausting powdered er- 
 £0t with cold water by percolation, heat- 
 ing the percolate to 90 deg. C, filtering, 
 evaporating the filtrate to a syrupy con- 
 
 sistence, allowing to cool, adding alcohol 
 in considerable excess to precipitate 
 gummy and albuminous matter, allow- 
 ing to stand, decanting the clear liquid, 
 or else filtering, and evaporating the 
 decantate or filtrate on a water bath to 
 soft extract. 
 
 The ergotin of Wiggers, which is 
 probably no longer in use, was simply 
 a dried alcoholic extract of ergot.

 IV. Another preparation highly de- 
 sirable for hypodermic use is the fol- 
 lowing (Hallberg's formula) : 
 
 "Purified ergot" is digested with twice 
 its weight of water at 65 deg. C., for 24 
 hours and expressed ; the residue is 
 again macerated in warm water for 12 
 hours. After settling, the expressed 
 liquids are strained and evaporated sep- 
 arately; when both together weigh one- 
 half as much as the ergot employed, they 
 are mixed and sufficient alcohol added 
 to make the liquid of 25 per cent, alco- 
 hclic strength, or one-third as much as 
 the aqueous solution. After standing 
 for several hours, the liquid is filtered 
 and the gummy residue washed with so 
 much 25 per cent, alcohol (4 volumes 
 of alcohol and 11 of distilled water) as 
 to make the filtered liquid measure 
 three-fourths or 75 per cent, of the 
 amount of crude drug employed (vol- 
 ume for weight). To this glycerin is 
 added to make the finished preparation 
 represent the amount of crude drug er- 
 got originally used, pint for pound. 
 
 This preparation should be kept in 
 small well-filled bottles in a cool, dark 
 place. 
 
 Purified ergot used for this prepara- 
 tion may be made by percolating coarse- 
 ly powdered ergot with deodorized ben- 
 zine, until no more fatty matter is ex- 
 tracted, then passing alcohol through the

 Alcohol, water, each sufficient 
 
 Add the lactucarium to the ether con- 
 tained in a tared flask having the ca- 
 pacity of 24 fluidounces, and let it mac- 
 erate for 24 hours ; then add 12 fluid- 
 ounces of water, and shake the mixture 
 well. Fit a bent glass tube into the 
 neck of the flask, and, having immersed 
 the flask in hot water, recover the ether 
 by distillation. When all the ether has 
 distilled over, remove the tube, and, aft- 
 er thoroughly shaking the contents of 
 the flask, continue the heat for Y2 hour. 
 Let the mixture cool, add 4Y av. ounces 
 (5 fluidounces) of alcohol, and enough 
 water to make the whole mixture weigh 
 20 av.ounces ; after maceration for 24 
 hours, with occasional agitation, express 
 and filter the liquid. Return the dregs 
 to the flask and macerate them with %Y\ 
 av.ounces of a mixture of alcohol and 
 water made in the proportion of 1 part 
 of alcohol to 3 of water by weight ; re- 
 peat the maceration 2 or 3 times, suc- 
 cessively, with fresh portions of the 
 mixture, until the dregs are tasteless, 
 or nearly so. Mix, and filter the liquids 
 thus obtained, and concentrate them, by 
 means of a water bath (the first ex- 
 pressed liquid by itself), until the com- 
 bined weight of the liquids is 2.Y2 av.- 
 ounces : mix the liquids, add 1^4 av.- 
 ounces of alcohol, and let the mixture 
 cool in the evaporating vessel, stirring 
 the mixture frequently, and during the 
 intervals keeping the vessel well cov- 
 ered. When cool, add enough alcohol 
 to make the mixture weigh 4Y av.- 
 ounces, transfer the liquid to a flask, and 
 add enough water to make the mixture 
 measure 4 fluidounces, using the water 
 so required to rinse the evaporating ves- 
 sel. Shake the mixture occasionally, 
 during several hours (and frequently, 
 if a portion of the precipitate is found 
 to be tenacious), and when a uniform 
 
 mixture results, set it aside for 24 
 hours, so that any precipitate formed 
 may subside. Decant the clear liquid, 
 transfer the precipitate to a filter, and, 
 after thoroughly draining it into the 
 decanted liquid, wash it with a mixture 
 of alcohol and water made in the pro- 
 portion of 3 parts of alcohol to 4 of 
 water, by weight, until the washings pass 
 tasteless. Concentrate the washings, by 
 evaporation, to a syrupy consistence, mix 
 with the decanted liquid, and add 
 enough of the last-named mixture of 
 alcohol and water to make the whole 
 measure 4 fluidounces. Lastly, after 24 
 hours, having meanwhile shaken the 
 fluid extract occasionally, filter it 
 through paper. 
 
 This preparation was recognized in the 
 U. S. P. 1880, but was rejected in the 
 U. S. P. 1890, which adopted instead a 
 tincture of lactucarium, which see. The 
 revised N. F. admitted all the dropped 
 preparations of the U. S. P. 1880, the 
 above included. Owing to the fact that 
 the tincture of lactucarium is the supe- 
 rior preparation, and that these prep- 
 arations are used only for making the 
 syrup of lactucarium, which is more 
 readily and satisfactorily made from the 
 tincture, it is the tincture onlv which 
 should be recognized.

 means of a faucet, or siphon, or other- 
 wise, refill the vessel with cold water,

 pressure. Finally evaporate the liquid on 
 a water bath to the consistence of a

 Macerate the logwood with the water 
 for 48 hours, then boil (avoiding the 
 use of metallic vessels) until about one- 
 half the water has evaporated, then 
 strain the liquid while hot, and evapor- 
 ate to dryness. 
 
 A suitable vessel for boiling- is an 
 enameled-iron dish, providing the 
 enamel be unbroken. 
 
 This extract is not to be confused 
 with the commercial extract which is 
 decidedly inferior to the above for 
 medicinal purposes. — U. S. P.

 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Extracts, Fluid), but packing 
 the drug in the percolator without the 
 preliminary moistening. The reserve 
 percolate from i6}i av. ounces of drug 
 is 14^2 fluidounces ; the menstruum is 
 alcohol. The drug is to be used in its 
 ordinary commercial condition, without 
 further comminution. The drug is 
 packed dry in the percolator because of 
 its large proportion of extractive mat- 
 ter.— N. F.

 ing 55 deg. C. evaporate the strained 
 liquid rapidly to the consistence of

 The above is Liebig's process for ex- 
 tract of malt. There are also other ex- 
 tracts of malt on the market, such as 
 the numerous liquid extracts which are 
 merely strong beers variously flavored. 
 
 There is also a fluid extract of malt 
 which is recognized by the former edi- 
 tion of the N. F. Dry extract of malt 
 is also to be had which is made by evap- 
 orating the thick (the above) extract of 
 nalt. 
 
 The commercial brands of extract of 
 malt vary greatly in quality; some of 
 them are grossly adulaterated with glu- 
 cose.

 Into a suitable vessel pour the water

 macerate for 2 hours, draw off the

 apparatus at a temperature not exceed- 
 ing 55 deg. C. to the consistence of

 The product is to be assayed. — Brit.

 This process is practically the same 
 as the preceding. 
 III. Mattison's process: 
 
 The quantities given here are such 
 as would be used upon a tolerably 
 large scale; these may, of course, be 
 reduced as desired. 
 
 Use a tube or churn of a capacity of 
 5 gallons and having a perforated^false 
 bottom. Pour into it 3 l / 2 gallons of 
 water of a temperature of about 76 to 
 78 deg. C, then add y 2 peck of barley 
 malt, coarsely ground, gradually stir- 
 ring it in well. Cover the vessel and 
 
 set away in a warm place, and allow to 
 remain perfectly at rest for 3 or 4 
 hours, taking care that the tempera- 
 ture does not fall below 65 deg. C. 
 This is the process of mashing. 
 
 At the end of the allotted period of 
 time, open the stop-cock below, draw 
 off the fluid; now sprinkle over the top 
 of the malt some water a little above 
 the temperature of the extract, and 
 draw off the fluid below, until the malt 
 is practically exhausted. Evaporate the 
 fluid by means of a water bath to thick 
 consistence. 
 
 The tub or churn must be kept per- 
 fectly clean. Once a week it should be 
 washed with alkaline water and when 
 not in use it should be keot filled with 
 lime water.

 Alcohol, water, each sufficient 
 
 Reduce the malt to coarse powder, 
 not finer than No. 20. Moisten it with 
 7 J / 2 fluidounces of a^ mixture of 1 vol- 
 ume of alcohol and- 3 volumes of water, 
 and set it aside, well-covered, until it 
 has ceased to swell. Then mix it with 
 as much of the menstruum as it will 
 take up without dripping, pack it uni- 
 formly, but without pressure, in a per- 
 colator, and add enough of the before- 
 mentioned menstruum to cover it. When 
 the liquid begins to drop from the ori- 
 fice, close the latter, and allow the con- 
 tents to macerate during 24 hours, add- 
 ing from time to time more mens- 
 truum, if necessary, to keep the malt 
 just covered. Then remove the cork 
 and allow the percolation to proceed 
 until the percolate weighs 12 av. ounces. 
 Set this aside, well-corked, until any 
 susnended matters have been deposited. 
 Then decant the clear liquid and pre- 
 serve it for use. 
 
 The product thus obtained may be re- 
 garded as being practically equivalent 
 to the drug in the proportion of minim 
 for grain, the apparent excess of dis- 
 solved matters present in the first por- 
 tions of the percolate being about offset

 Mix the acid with 20 fluidounces of 
 distilled water and having moistened 
 the drug with 6 fluidounces of this 
 menstruum, pack it moderately in a 
 cylindrical glass percolator; then add 
 enough menstruum to saturate the 
 drug and leave a stratum above it. 
 When the liquid begins to drop from 
 the percolator, close the lower orifice, 
 and, having closely covered the percola- 
 tor, macerate for 48 hours. Then allow 
 percolation to proceed slowly, gradually 
 adding, first, the remainder of the mens- 
 truum, and then water, until the per- 
 colate passes but faintly imbued with 
 bitterness and the drug is exhausted. 
 Reserve the first 12 fluidounces of per- 
 colate and having heated the remainder 
 to boiling, filter, and evaporate the 
 filtrate to soft extract; dissolve this in 
 the reserved portion and add enough 
 distilled water to make the liquid meas- 
 ure 14 fluidounces. To the liquid thus 
 obtained, add 46 fluidounces of alcohol, 
 shake the mixture well, and set it aside 
 for 24 hours, with occasional agitation. 
 Filter the liquid through paper, and 
 wash the residue in the filter with a 
 mixture of 3 volumes of alcohol and 
 1 of water until the washings are only 
 faintly bitter. Evaporate the filtrate and 
 washings in a porcelain dish on a water 
 bath to dryness. Assay the percentage 
 
 of strychnine in this extract and add 
 enough well-dried sugar of milk to 
 bring the percentage of strychnine in 
 the final dried extract down to 5 per 
 cent, of the total weight. Reduce to 
 fine powder, mix well, and keep in 
 small, well-stoppered vials. — U. S. P.

 Extract of Opium, for Smoking. 
 
 The process given below is stated by 
 Mr. John Calvert to be the actual 
 method followed by the Chinese of San 
 Francisco, arid presumably is the usual 
 process, for preparing opium for smok- 
 ing purposes. 
 
 The apparatus of the Chinaman con- 
 sists of two charcoal-burning fire-clay 
 furnaces, about 15 inches high and of 
 about the same width, open on three 
 sides ; some palm leaf or other cheap fans 
 for fanning himself and the fire ; sev- 
 eral brass pans; a brass ladle and sev- 
 eral tin ones ; a large spoon for skim- 
 ming ; a gridiron, two pair of pincers 
 for lifting the pans, and some thick 
 
 wooden cloth to protect the hands, 
 some fiber brushes, several buckets, 
 basket strainers, muslin for straining, 
 fibrous material for drawing off the 
 liquor, some heavy sticks to be used as 
 pestles, several spatulas, about a foot 
 long and 3 inches wide at lower end, 
 and made of oak or ash, and a steel- 
 bladed scraper. One or two low stools 
 complete the arrangements. The opera- 
 tor does not require any tables or 
 benches, as all the work is done on or 
 near the ground. The operation re- 
 quires two days, but after the first day, 
 the two days' work goes on' regularly, 
 and a batch of extract is turned out by 
 the same workman every evening. 
 
 The quantity of opium operated upon, 
 so that a workman can do a fair day's 
 work, is usually about 16 or 18 pounds. 
 The balls are placed in tepid water, to 
 soften the surface, and they are washed 
 by hand to remove grit, leaves and 
 other foreign substances. The material 
 is then placed in one of the shallow 
 concave brass pans, which is kept gently 
 heated over the naked charcoal fire, 
 and by means of the wooden pestle, is 
 kneaded into a soft paste. When homo- 
 geneous, the softened opium is uniform- 
 ly spread over the inner surface of the 
 pan, and pattecl down by the hand, so 
 as to give it a smooth surface. The 
 heat is continued until the greater part 
 of the moisture has evaporated, and 
 the opium has become so solid that the 
 pan can be turned over. The direct heat 
 of a very small fire is now allowed to 
 act directly on the face of the opium 
 by turning the pan upside down. This 
 has to be carefully and skillfully done. 
 As soon as the surface of the material 
 has become sufficiently hardened, it is 
 deftly removed in thin layers, and this 
 is continued until all the opium has 
 been taken from the pan, except the 
 dried portion which remains attached to 
 the bottom and sides of the vessel. 
 This is scraped off. The crusts which 
 were laid aside- in the former operation 
 are now put on the gridiron, a few at a 
 
170

 time, with the greatest care, to avoid 
 breaking them, and are toasted over the 
 charcoal at a low temperature until they 
 have become perfectly crisp. The crusts 
 are then placed in one of the brass 
 pans, covered with warm water, and 
 left standing until the next morning. 
 
 On resuming work the infusion is 
 first drawn off into buckets through 
 baskets lined with muslin strainers. 
 
 The brass pan is slightly tilted, and 
 by means of a knot of vegetable fibre 
 the liquor is drawn off over the edge of 
 the pan without loss. The roasted 
 opium is drained, and a second quan- 
 tity of warm water added, with as lit- 
 tle breakage of the crusts as possible, 
 and the extraction is finished with a 
 third lot of water. Only the first and 
 second infusions are used for the ex- 
 tract; the washings and weak infusion 
 are employed for the extraction of the 
 next batch. There seems to be no pre- 
 cise rule as to the quantity of water 
 for making the infusion, the crusts are 
 merely covered. 
 
 The infusion is then mixed with some 
 egg albumen and a part of it is placed 
 in the largest of the brass pans over 
 the naked charcoal fire, and is heated, 
 skimmed and boiled constantly. The 
 pan is not filled, but room is allowed 
 for frothing, and fresh portions of 
 warm infusion containing albumen are 
 added from time to time as the bulk 
 diminishes. During the boiling there 
 are several matters to be attended to, 
 such as keeping up the fire, or banking 
 it up with ashes if too hot, prevention 
 of boiling over by addition of small 
 quantities of the infusion, or of water, 
 and keeping the sides of the pan free 
 from hardened extract. This is effected 
 by water and the fiber scrubbing brushes. 
 When all the infusion has been added, 
 and the evaporation has proceeded as 
 far as is considered to be necessary, the 
 pan is removed from the fire, and the 
 extract constantly stirred by means of 
 a wooden spatula in a current of air 
 
 produced by fanning until cool and uni- 
 formly mixed. 
 
 The yield of extract varies according 
 to the kind and quality of opium. 
 Eighteen pounds of first quality opium 
 generally ^ yield about ten pounds of 
 this extract. 
 
 The greatest watchfulness is exercised 
 over the roasting or toasting nart of the 
 process. Although a small exposed cor- 
 ner of the crusts may become charred 
 occasionally, the object of this operation 
 is to expose the opium to such a heat 
 only as to render it porous, to do away 
 with the quality of stickiness, which is 
 said by some authors to be produced by 
 an easily decomposed caoutchouc-like 
 substance, and to allow the aqueous ex- 
 tractive matter to ooze out of the ma- 
 terial without stirring.

 Extracts, Powdered. 
 
 Most extracts now appear on the 
 market, not only in the old-style plastic 
 or pilular form, but also in the form 
 of powder. Inasmuch as almost all 
 plant extracts are injured by the appli- 
 cation of heat, the powdered extracts 
 do not very well represent the drug, 
 less so in fact than almost any prepara- 
 tion made from a crude drug. How- 
 ever, there is a demand for these pow- 
 dered extracts, and this demand will be 
 supplied. Extracts like those of opium 
 and kino can be evaporated to dryness 
 without any appreciable injury to the 
 
 principles present, but others again, like 
 hyostyamus, valerian, etc., are very sus- 
 ceptible to change, either because of the 
 presence of easily decomposable prin- 
 ciples or because of the presence of 
 volatile matter. These latter extracts 
 should never be prepared in the pow- 
 dered form. However, practically all 
 extracts now appear in the market in 
 the powder form, irrespective of the ap- 
 propriateness, suitability or value <of 
 this form. 
 
 In making powdered extracts of drugs 
 containing volatile or easily decomposa- 
 ble principles, the temperature employed 
 in drying should be quite low, say not 
 to exceed 55 deg. C. The drying of the 
 extract may be facilitated by spreading 
 out in a thin layer and warming in a 
 drying room or closet at the specified 
 temperature, driving a current of warm, 
 dry air through the chamber if this be 
 convenient. Even then it may not be 
 advisable or possible to reduce the ex- 
 tract to such dryness that it can be 
 powdered, and then it becomes neces- 
 sary to add a small amount of some 
 substance, such as milk sugar or some 
 of the powder of the drug itself. If 
 the drug contains considerable fixed oil, 
 the extract cannot be dried thoroughly 
 and the intervention of such a powder 
 is necessary. It is also to be remember- 
 ed in this connection that in making 
 powdered extracts, glycerin must not 
 enter into the menstruum employed in 
 the extraction of the drug, as this will 
 prevent the extract from drying. 
 
 After an extract has been reduced to 
 dryness, either with or without the in- 
 tervention of the added powder, it 
 should be reduced to fine powder and 
 then be preserved in well-stoppered, 
 wide-mouthed bottles.

 Extract, Fluid, of Senna. 
 
 I. The preparation of the U. S. P. 
 is what is called "deodorized fluid ex- 
 tract of senna" and is made as follows : 
 
 Moisten i6^4 av.ounces of drug, in 
 No. 40 powder, with 5 l / 2 fluidounces of 
 alcohol, pack in a cylindrical percolator, 
 and percolate with alcohol until prac- 
 tically exhausted. This alcoholic perco- 
 late is to be rejected. Remove the drug 
 from the percolator, dry it, moisten it 
 with &/ 2 fluidounces of diluted alcohol, 
 then extract in the usual manner for 
 fluid extracts (see Extracts, Fluid), 
 using diluted alcohol as the menstruum. 
 Reserve the first 13 fluidounces of per- 
 colate, evaporate the remainder at not 
 above 50 deg. C. to soft extract, dissolve 
 this in the reserved po'tion, and add 
 enough diluted alcohol to make 16 fluid- 
 ounces of product. 
 
 The alcohol extracts the griping prin- 
 ciples of senna without materially inter- 
 fering with the laxative principles which 
 latter are subsequently extracted by 
 means of the diluted alcohol. 
 
 II. 
 
 The preparations sold commercially 
 under the name aqueous fluid extract of 
 senna are usually made by infusing cut 
 senna leaves with enough hot water to 
 just cover them, allowing to macerate 
 for an hour or two, straining and ex- 
 pressing the liquid, infusing the residue 
 again as before, straining and express- 
 ing the liquid again in the course of an 
 hour or two, and mixing the two liquids. 
 This liquid usually measures more than 
 
 a finished fluid extract should measure, 
 and inasmuch as it is not practicable 
 to evaporate this infusion, the fluid ex- 
 tract of the market is prepared from 
 the latter by adding enough alcohol to 
 preserve it, allowing to stand for 24 
 hours, and filtering the liquid from the 
 precipitated mucilage. The product is, 
 of course, not properly a fluid extract.

 macerating and percolating in the usual 
 manner for fluid extracts. The perco- 
 lation is allowed to take place very 
 slowly and is to be stopped when 16 
 fluidounces of percolate are obtained. 
 This percolate is the finished fluid ex- 
 tract. The menstruum is a mixture of 
 3^4 fluidounces each of glycerin, of al- 
 cohol and 9?4 of water, to be followed 
 
 by a mixture of 1 volume of alcohol and

 Alcohol, water, each sufficient 
 
 Moisten the bark with 4 fluidounces 
 of alcohol, pack it firmly in a cylindrical 
 percolator, saturate with alcohol, macer- 
 ate for 48 hours, and then percolate 
 slowly, gradually adding more alcohol 
 until 3 pints of percolate have passed. 
 From this distil 2^ pints of alcohol on 
 a water bath, add 16 fluidounces of wa- 
 ter to the residue, and evaporate on a 
 water bath to 8 fluidounces. 
 
 Beat the almond to a paste, and rub 
 this with successive small portions of 
 water, until, after straining through a 
 coarse sieve or cloth, nearly all the sub- 
 stance of the almond has been converted 
 into an emulsion, and 12 fluidounces of 
 liquid have been obtained. Mix this 
 with the liquid first obtained, in a suit- 
 able bottle, and, having closely stoppered 
 it, agitate occasionally 24 hours. Then 
 express quickly and strongly through a 
 cloth, and if the expressed liquid meas- 
 ure less than 18 fluidounces, add water 
 to the residue and again express until 
 that quantity is obtained. Filter the ex- 
 pressed liquid through cotton flannel, 
 in a covered funnel, into a bottle con- 
 taining the sugar. Shake the bottle oc- 
 casionally until the sugar is all or near- 
 ly all dissolved, then strain, and add 
 water, if necessary, through the strainer 
 to make the liquid measure 32 fluid- 
 ounces.

 twigs and shoots of hamamelis are used, 
 
 which are collected for this purpose 
 preferably when the plant is in flower, 
 late in the autumn. This drug is mixed 
 with the alcohol and water, using the 
 same proportions as in the U. S. P. 
 formula, macerating for 24 hours, then 
 distilling off 16 fluidounces by direct 
 heat, or preferably by means of steam. 
 The liquor hamamelidis or solution of 
 hamamelis of the Brit. Pharm. is pre- 
 pared by mixing 1 av. pound of fresh 
 witchhazel leaves with 30 fluidounces of

 slowly until 3 pints of percolate are ob- 
 
 tained. To this add the potassium car- 
 bonate, and evaporate until a pasty resi- 
 due is left. Stir this well with 8 fluid- 
 ounces of alcohol gradually added. Let 
 the pasty precipitate subside and decant 
 the supernatant liquor ; to the residue 
 gradually add 8 fluidounces of alcohol 
 as before. Pour this mixture upon a

 Gauzes. (Carbasa — Telae.) 
 
 Pharmacists may conveniently prepare 
 their own medicated gauzes, which will 
 be of equal value to the products of the 
 large manufacturing houses. 
 
 To make a satisfactory medicated 
 gauze, a proper kind of plain gauze 
 (cheese-cloth) should be employed. This 
 may be made from crude or raw gauze 
 by a process similar to that for making 
 purified cotton from crude cotton (see 
 Cottons), but this is not practicable for 
 pharmacists and is therefore not ad- 
 vised. The commercial gauze may be 
 purified, if desired, before medication, 
 by first washing with a solution of so- 
 dium carbonate, then with a solution of 
 
 chlorinated lime, then with a solution 
 of sodium thiosulfate, subsequently 
 washing repeatedly with water. 
 
 In purchasing absorbent gauze, which 
 should also be bleached, for surgical 
 dressings, great care must be exercised 
 in its selection. The gauze should be 
 perfectly free from fatty and resinous 
 matter and therefore perfectly absorb- 
 ent. The absorbency may be determined 
 by dipping the end of a roll into water 
 and observing how rapidly capillary ac- 
 tion takes place. 
 
 This gauze should be one yard wide 
 and should have 30 to 35 meshes or 
 threads each way to the inch. It may 
 be said that one square yard should 
 weigh about 600 grains, but the gauze 
 recommended by the N. F. weighs con- 
 siderably more, about 785 grains, and 
 the best gauze of many reputable man- 
 ufacturers weighs less, about 1 av. ounce. 
 Still lighter (cheaper, inferior) grades 
 of gauze are obtainable and are used 
 for dressings, but the heavier kinds are 
 preferred as they contain proportionate- 
 ly more of the medicament. Very heavy 
 gauzes are, however, not required, as 
 they would contajn a needlessly large 
 amount of medicating material. Most 
 manufacturers use gauzes of different 
 weights which they sell at widely differ- 
 ent prices. 
 
 As a rule good absorbent gauze will 
 retain, after expression, 1^4 times its 
 own weight of liquid, so that, for ex- 
 ample, if 4 pounds of gauze be dipped 
 into a solution and expressed, the prod- 
 uct will weigh 9 pounds. The particu- 
 lar kind of gauze recommended by the 
 National Formulary is what is known 
 commercially as "Stillwater" or "Le- 
 high E." 
 
 When gauze is to be impregnated, it 
 is first necessary to determine its 
 weight, then immerse in the antiseptic 
 solution (which should be prepared 
 with reference to the weight of the 
 gauze), knead for 10, 15 or 20 minutes, 
 then wring or press out to such a point

 that just the required percentage of 
 medicament shall remain in the material, 
 and finally dry. When immersing in 
 the liquid, the cloth should not.be fold- 
 ed ; and in expressing, a clothes wringer 
 may be employed, care being taken to 
 avoid contact with any metallic parts. 
 It may be necessary in order to avoid 
 such contact to enclose the gauze in 
 parchment paper ; holes may be cut into 
 the latter to allow the liquid to escape 
 readily. 
 
 Instead of immersing the gauze in a 
 large volume of fluid, and then express- 
 ing, it may be immersed in just suffi- 
 cient liquid for proper medication, 
 kneaded for 10, 15 or 20 minutes, then 
 put under weights for several hours, 
 and dried. It is advisable to turn the 
 cloth about repeatedly in the meantime, 
 while in some cases the application of a 
 temperature of 50 to 60 deg. C. may be 
 advisable. As an extra precaution for 
 even impregnation, the goods may, be- 
 fore drying, be placed in a press and 
 subjected to as much pressure as it will 
 permit without any of the liquid being 
 forced out. Some unscrupulous manu- 
 facturers spray the gauze with the 
 liquid instead of immersing, but this is 
 an inferior method of medication. 
 
 In impregnating gauzes on the small 
 scale, ordinary enameled iron or porce- 
 lain evaporating or granite dishes may 
 be employed. On the large scale, larger 
 vessels of the same or similar material 
 or of well-glazed earthenware are em- 
 ployed. 
 
 Gauzes may be dried after impregna- 
 tion, if the liquid used be alcoholic or 
 aqueous by suspending from strings or 
 wooden rods, but if ethereal or fatty, 
 the gauze should be wound as it leaves 
 the press, upon reels and allowed to 
 remain for at least 24 hours to dry, 
 after which it may be cut into suitable 
 lengths. Drying is usually to be per- 
 formed in a dark place. 
 
 After drying, the gauze may be fold- 
 ed and then enclosed or packed in tin 
 foil, waxed paper, parchment paper, bot- 
 
 tles, tin boxes, or pressed paper boxes, 
 according to the kind of medicament or 
 to the price to be obtained. The best 
 practice of manufacturers is to pack the 
 gauze into sterilized bottles or pressed 
 paper boxes, the latter being coated 
 with paraffin. 
 
 If the pharmacist desires to make 
 medicated gauzes fresh as wanted, he 
 should keep on hand the plain gauze in 
 i-yard and 5-yard lengths, also stock 
 solutions of impregnating liquids repre- 
 senting the antiseptics most commonly 
 employed. After saturating, the gauze 
 may be expressed, and then at once 
 rolled in parchment paper or other suit- 
 able enclosing material. 
 
 Formerlv all gauze was of the "dry" 
 or "hard" kind, like the carbolized gauze 
 of the N. F. ; what is now mostly in 
 use is the so-called "soft" or "moist" 
 kind. The latter is permanently moist 
 and soft, due to the presence of a con- 
 siderable proportion of glycerin. 
 
 The processes of manufacturers for 
 antiseptic gauzes vary greatly and each 
 manufacturer has more than one proc- 
 ess for each kind of gauze, each one 
 making, as a rule, a moist and a ,dry 
 gauze of the same medication. In this 
 work are given satisfactory or work- 
 able formulas for different medicated 
 gauzes, but no attempt is made to supply 
 formulas for all kinds of gauzes made 
 by manufacturers. Pharmacists may 
 vary the formulas here given, as may 
 be determined by experience and trial. 
 
 Gauzes made with solutions contain- 
 ing resinous or waxy matter are non- 
 absorbent, whereas such as are made 
 with water, alcohol, or glycerin are 
 highly absorbent and are therefore gen- 
 erally preferred. 
 
 A prominent manufacturer of surgical 
 dressings gives the following as the va- 
 rious steps in the process of making 
 antiseptic gauzes : 
 
 1. Sterilization of apparatus and 
 utensils. 
 
 2. Personal preparation of operators. 
 
188 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 3. Sterilization of all materials used 
 in the dressings. 
 
 4. Sterilization of containers. 
 
 5. Handling and packing under rigid 
 systems of aseptic technique. 
 
 6. Re-sterilization of the finished 
 dressings within their containers. 
 
 7. Sealing hermetically during final 
 sterilization. 
 
 8. Check bacteriological tests. 
 
 The sterilization so stated to be con- 
 ducted in specially built chambers by 
 currents of saturated steam (unmixed 
 with air) circulating under pressure and 
 in vacuum. By these processes every 
 fiber is penetrated. Bacteriological tests 
 have demonstrated that no form 0/ bac- 
 terial life can withstand this treatment. 
 
 Considerable controversy has been 
 waged in this country within the last 
 few years regarding the correct method 
 of expressing the strength of medicated 
 gauzes. Some thought that the expres- 
 sion 10 per cent, gauze, for example, 
 should signify that the gauze has been 
 impregnated with a 10 per cent, solu- 
 tion of the medicament. Others claimed 
 that it should mean that 10 av.ounces 
 of the gauze originally used should con- 
 tain 1 av.ounce of medicament. Others 
 again claimed chat strength should be 
 expressed in relation to the finished 
 product meaning gauze, medicament, 
 and extraneous material which has been 
 used, such as resin, glycerin, paraffin, 
 etc. A 10 per cent, gauze of this kind 
 would contain, for example, 1 av. ounce 
 of medicament, */ 2 each of resin and oil, 
 and 8 of gauze. Still others claimed 
 that the strength should be expressed in 
 the number of grains or grams to the 
 square inch, square foot, or square 
 centimeter or decimeter. 
 
 Different methods of designation ob- 
 tain among the manufacturers of sur- 
 gical dressings. Obviously those that 
 make a so-called 10 per cent, medicated 
 gauze by dipping in a liquid containing 
 10 per cent, of medicament can afford 
 to offer goods cheaper than others can. 
 
 The most common method, and the 
 
 one used in this work, is to have the 
 medicament in the gauze bear a definite 
 relation to the original fabric. Some 
 manufacturers now also state, on the 
 label of the package, the amount of 
 drug to a certain area of gauze.

 out the pieces horizontally, and as soon 
 as the alcohol has nearly all evaporat- 
 
 ed, fold and wrap the pieces in paraffin 
 paper, and preserve them in air-tight 
 receptacles. 
 
 The impregnated gauze, when dry, 
 contains about 2.5 per cent, of carbolic

 The gauze used for impregnation 
 with iodoform must be free even from

 Gauze, Mercuro-Zinc Cyanid. 
 
 In making this gauze, it is first neces- 
 sary to prepare the cyanid of zinc and 
 mercury, for which the following is the 
 process of Lister: Dissolve finely 
 powdered mercuric cyanid completely 
 in a warm concentrated solution of 
 potassium cyanid (the latter containing 
 95 per cent, of pure salt) in distilled 
 water, adding an extra fluidounce of 
 distilled water for every 180 grains of 
 mercuric cyanid used (to prevent cry- 
 stallization), allow the solution to cool, 
 precipitate with a sold saturated solu- 
 tion of zinc sulfate, wash the precipi- 
 tate free from potassium salt with cold 
 distilled water, and dry, preferably over 
 caustic soda or on porous tiles. The 
 product contains 15 per cent, of mer- 
 curic cyanid. 
 
 The gauze is prepared in the same 
 manner as the other gauzes, usually so 
 as to contain when dry 3 per cent, of 
 the salt. The latter is dissolved in a 
 1 in 4000 solution of mercuric chlorid 
 in distilled water ; glycerin may be add- 
 ed if desired. Latterly Lister used a 
 5 per cent, carbolic acid solution in- 
 stead of the mercuric chlorid solution. 
 
 Lister usually colors the salt ; at first 
 hematoxylin was used, latterly rosani- 
 line. Before using the gauze he origin- 
 ally recommended moistening it with a 
 1 in 4000 solution of mercuric chlorid 
 but now a 1 in 20 carbolic acid solution 
 is advised.

 This makes a 20 per cent, gauze. A

 using 2 av. ounces of naphthalin and 1 
 of resin; a 5 per cent, by using 1 av.

 been removed; drain the precipitate on 
 a paper filter. Mix 1020 grains of 
 sodium bicarbonate with 5 fluidounces 
 of water and gradually add 900 grains 
 of tartaric acid, warming slightly to ob- 
 tain a perfect solution. Transfer the 
 moist precipitate of bismuth tartrate to 
 this solution, and stir until it is dis- 
 solved; filter the solution, add the glyc-

 Moisten the drug with 6 fluidounces 
 of alcohol, and pack it firmly in a cylin- 
 drical percolator; then add enough al- 
 cohol to saturate the powder and leave 
 a stratum above it. When the liquid 
 begins to drop from the percolator, close 
 the lower orifice, and having closely 
 covered the percolator, macerate for 48 
 hours. Then allow percolation to pro- 
 ceed, gradually adding alcohol until the 
 drug is practically exhausted. 
 
 From the percolate remove nearly all 
 the alcohol by distillation or evapora- 
 tion, pour the thick concentrated liquid 
 into 8 fluidounces of ice-cold water, and 
 set aside in a cold place for 24 hours. 
 Then filter, pass enough cold water 
 through the filter to make the filtrate 
 measure 8 fluidounces, add the glycerin, 
 and mix thoroughlj'. — U. S. P. 
 
 This preparation is of the same drug 
 strength as fluid extracts. It mixes clear 
 with water in all proportions.

 fluidounce. Then dilute with water to 
 16 fluidounces. 
 
 If twice as much acid be employed, 
 the liquid will be greenish instead of

 —Brit. Pharm. 
 
 This is of about the same strength 
 of the solution of lead subacetate U. S. 
 P., and may be employed in making the 
 diluted solution of lead subacetate. 
 
 The above is a clear liquid which is 
 miscible in all proportions with distilled 
 water, yielding clear mixtures. It is 
 less liable to produce turbidity when 
 mixed with aqueous liquids than is the 
 solution of lead subacetate. 
 Glycerite of Licorice. 
 
 An excellent substitute for pure ex- 
 tract and fluid extract of licorice for 
 making elixirs, syrups, etc., may be pre- 
 pared as follows from the commercial 
 mass or stick extract of licorice : 
 Extract of licorice, mass or 
 
 stick av.oz. 13 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 8 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Macerate the extract in about 4 to 6 
 pints of water until it is thoroughly dis- 
 solved, stirring frequently, and then fil- 
 ter. The amount of water used must 
 be enough to make the liquid thin 
 enough to filter. To prevent spoiling 
 during the maceration, add a few drops 
 of formaldehyde. After filtering, evap- 
 orate on a water bath in a tared vessel, 
 to about 10 av.ounces, then add the glyc- 
 erin, and if necessary enough water to 
 make 16 fluidounces, rinsing the dish 
 with this water. 
 
 The product is sufficiently thin to mix 
 readily with water, syrup, elixir, etc., 
 the mixture depositing little or no sedi- 
 ment. It does not decompose on keep- 
 ing. 
 
 The commercial mass and stick ex- 
 tract usually contains about 40 per cent, 
 of insoluble matter, so that the above 
 product is approximately one-half as 
 strong as the U. S. P. pure extract, 
 three-fourths as strong as the commer- 
 cial mass or stick, and 2^ times as 
 strong as the fluid extract. If the mass 
 or stick used in making it contain more 
 or less insoluble matter than 40 per 
 cent., the product should measure pro- 
 portionately less or more.

 liquid, filter, returning the first portions 
 of the filtrate until it runs through clear, 
 and pass enough water through the fil- 
 ter to make the filtrate measure 8 fluid- 
 
200 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 ounces. To this add the glycerin, and 
 mix. 
 
 Each fluidram represents 5 grains of 
 pepsin (U. S. P. or 1:3000). 
 
 For filtering the aqueous solution of 
 pepsin first obtained by the above form- 
 ula, as well as for filtering other liquids 
 of a viscid character, a filter paper of 
 loose texture (preferably that known as 
 "textile filtering paper"), or a layer of 
 absorbent cotton placed in a funnel or 
 percolator, should be employed. — N. F. 
 
 A glycerite of pepsin may be made 
 without acid by dissolving the pepsin in 
 scales in a mixture of the glycerin with 
 about 7 l /> fluidounces of water. 
 
 The formula of the Brit. Pharm. is 
 practically like that of the N. F., viz., 
 666 gr. of pepsin, 90 m. of hydrochloric 
 acid, g l /2 fluidounces of glycerin, and 
 water enough to make 16 fluidounces. 
 The Brit. Pharm. pepsin should be ca- 
 pable of dissolving 2,500 times its 
 weight of coagulated egg albumen.

 raised to 140 deg. C. and not exceeding 
 144 deg. C., stirring constantly, until 
 a translucent jelly is formed. Transfer 
 the product to suitable vessels provided 
 with well-fitting covers. — U. S. P. 
 
 It is advisable to rub the starch to a 
 •smooth mixture with the water before 
 adding glycerin. 
 
 The addition of 1 to 2 grains of pow- 
 dered tragacanth will prevent the sep- 
 aration, on standing, of the starch from 
 the glycerin. 
 
 The preparation of the Brit. Pharm. is 
 of the same strength as the above. 
 
 II. The corresponding preparation of 
 the 3rd Germ. Pharm., called Unguen- 
 tum Glycerini, was prepared as follows:

 alcohol, and heat the whole with almost 
 constant stirring until the alcohol has 
 dissipated and a translucent jelly is pro- 
 duced.

 Upon the tar, contained in a mortar, 
 pour 3 fluidounces of cold water, stir 
 them thoroughly together, and pour off 
 the water. Repeat this once or twice, 
 until the water only feebly reddens blue 
 litmus-paper. Now triturate the washed 
 tar with the alcohol, gradually incor- 
 porate the magnesium carbonate and 
 glycerin, and lastly, 10 fluidounces of 
 water. Pour the mixture upon a filter 
 of loose texture spread over a piece of 
 straining muslin, and, after the liquid 
 portion has passed through, wash the 
 residue on the filter with water, until 
 the whole filtrate measures 16 fluid- 
 ounces.— N. F. and U. S. P. 1870.

 Glycerogelatins. 
 
 Glycerogelatins are soft masses, melt- 
 ing at the body temperature, composed 
 of glycerin, gelatin, water and a medica- 
 ment suitable for external application 
 in dermatological practice, such as sali- 
 cylic acid, iodoform, ichthyol, resorcin, 
 chrysarobin, etc., either by themselves 
 or with the addition of zinc oxid. They 
 were originally suggested by Dr. Unna.

 Honeys. (Mellita.) 
 
 The preparations known as honeys 
 are a diminishing class, their place being 
 taken by the glycerites and syrups. They 
 are prepared either by dissolving or 
 mixing medicinal agents with honey. 
 Honey, Clarified. (Mel Depuratum.) 
 I. 
 
 Mix honey intimately with about 2 per 
 cent, of its v/eight of paper pulp which 
 has previously been reduced to shreds, 
 thoroughly washed and soaked in water 
 strongly expressed, and again shredded. 
 Then apply the heat of a water bath, 
 and, as long as any scum rises to the 
 surface, carefully remove this (with a 
 skimmer). Then add enough distilled 
 water to make up the loss by evapora- 
 tion, strain, and mix the strained liquid 
 with 5 per cent, of its weight of glyc- 
 erin.-U. S. P. 
 
 Filter paper should be used for ma- 
 king paper pulp for the above. The 
 shredding or reducing to pulp may be 
 facilitated after moistening by vigor- 
 ously triturating in a large mortar. 
 
 II. The directions of the Brit. 
 Pharm. for clarified honey are quite 
 simple, viz. : Honey of commerce, melt- 
 ed in a water bath, and strained, while 
 hot, through flannel previously moist- 
 ened with warm water.

 The product represents 5 per cent, of 
 drug. 
 
 Caution. — The strength of infusions 
 of powerful or energetic substances 
 should be specially prescribed by the 
 physician. 
 
 Infusions should be made in porce- 
 lain, porcelain-lined or glass vessels. 
 
 According to the German Pharmaco- 
 poeia, infusions are to be made by pour- 
 ing boiling water on the drug, then heat- 
 ing on a water bath for 5 minutes, stir- 
 ring frequently, allowing to cool, and 
 straining. When the strength of the 
 infusion is not snecified, it is to be made 
 to represent 10 per cent, of drug.

 Preparations by this name were rec- 
 ognized in the Brit. Pharm. of 1885, but 
 not in the 1898 edition. These are hard- 
 ly pharmaceutical in character and are 
 usually to be prepared in the bedcham- 
 ber, but this reference to them can hard- 
 ly be considered out of place. The sub- 
 stance or mixture of substances is to 
 be placed with water, cold or boiling, 
 in a suitable apparatus, and the vapor 
 arising is to be inhaled.

 subcutaneous use. Distilled water only 
 must be used, it is to be boiled and 
 Ik 
 
 cooled before use, the solution should 
 be perfectly clear, and it should be made 
 only as wanted for use. The Brit. 
 Pharm. 1885 used camphor water as the 
 solvent, instead of distilled water, in 
 some instances.

 water, at a temperature not above 50 
 deg. C, and filter the solutions sepa- 
 rately. To the sodium salt, contained 
 in a flask or bottle having the capacity 
 of about 40 fluidounces (it might even 
 be larger), add gradually the ferrous 
 solution, and mix thoroughly during the 
 addition by vigorously rotating the flask 
 or bottle. Fill up the flask or bottle 
 with boiling distilled water, cork it 
 loosely, and set the mixture aside. When 
 the precipitate has subsided, draw off 
 the clear, supernatant liquid by means 
 of a siphon and then fill the flask again 
 with hot distilled water and shake it. 
 Again draw off the clear liauid and re- 
 peat the washing with hot distilled wa- 
 ter in the same manner until the de- 
 canted liquid gives merely a slight 
 cloudiness with barium chlorid test 
 solution. Finally drain the precipitate 
 thoroughly on a muslin strainer, trans- 
 fer it to a porcelain capsule containing 
 3/4 av.ounces of sugar, and mix inti- 
 
 mately. Evaporate the mixture to dry- 
 ness on a water bath, reduce it to pow- 
 der and mix intimately with it, if nec- 
 essary, enough well-dried sugar to make 
 the product weigh 4 av.ounces. 
 
 Keep the product in small, well-stop- 
 pered bottles. 
 
 The product should contain at least 
 15 per cent, of ferrous carbonate. — U.

 The Brit. Pharm. precipitates the iron 
 carbonate with ammonium carbonate in- 
 stead of sodium bicarbonate. 
 Iron (Ferric) Citrate. 
 
 The U. S. P. recognizes two scale 
 preparations of this kind, one being 
 called "iron citrate" (or "ferric cit- 
 rate"), the other "iron and ammonium 
 citrate." The latter is also called "ara- 
 monio-ferric citrate," but is known com- 
 mercially more frequently as "soluble 
 citrate of iron," it being more quickly 
 soluble than the former compound. 
 
 I. The first one is prepared by evap- 
 orating any conveinent quantity of so- 
 lution of iron citrate (which see) on 
 a water bath, at a temperature not ex- 
 ceeding 60 deg. C, to the consistence of 
 syrup, and spreading on plates of glass 
 so that when dry the salt may be ob- 
 tained in scales. 
 
 After spreading on plates of glass 
 (porcelain is equally good), it should 
 be kept at a temperature of about 35 
 deg. C. to facilitate the drying. 
 
 The product, which is in garnet-red 
 scales, should be preserved in well-stop- 
 pered bottles protected from light.

 scales. 
 
 The drying on the plates should be 
 facilitated as in the preceding case.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 The product, which is in garnet-red 
 scales, should be preserved in well-stop- 
 pered bottles protected from light. 
 
 For making this preparation, some 
 formulas recommend the addition to the 
 solution of iron citrate, not of ammonia 
 water, but a solution of ammonium cit- 
 rate. This is the method of the Nor- 
 wegian Pharmacopeia.

 To the ammonia water, previously di- 
 luted with 20 fluidounces of cold water, 
 add gradually under constant and vigor- 
 ous stirring the iron solution previously 
 diluted with 40 fluidounces of cold wa- 
 ter. As soon as the precipitate has sub- 
 sided, draw off the clear liquid by means 
 of a siphon, then mix the precipitate 
 intimately with about 40 fluidounces of 
 cold water, again draw off the clear 
 liquid after subsidence of the precipi- 
 tate, and repeat this operation until a 
 portion of the decanted liquid gives not 
 more than a slight cloudiness with bari- 
 um chlorid test solution. Finally trans- 
 fer the precipitate to a wet muslin 
 strainer, and after it has drained mix 
 it with sufficient cold water to make the 
 mixture weigh 12 av. ounces. — N. F. 
 
 The ammonia water must be 10 p. c. 
 in strength; if weaker, proportionately 
 more of it must be used and less water, 
 or if stronger, less may be used, and 
 more water.

 smooth and thin mixture, transfer this 
 to a bottle capable of holding 16 fluid- 
 ounces, and fill with water to about 
 
 three-fourths of its capacity. When the 
 preparation is wanted for use, shake 
 the magnesia mixture to a homogeneous, 
 thin magma, gradually add it to the 
 iron solution, and shake them together 
 until a uniform, smooth mixture results.

 tilled water, and, if necessary, filter 
 each solution. Then mix them, and stir 
 thoroughly; after a short time transfer 
 the mixture to a close linen or muslin 
 strainer, and wash the precipitate with 
 distilled water, until the washings run 
 off tasteless. Transfer the strainer to a 
 warm place and, when the contents are 
 dry, preserve them for use. 
 
 Hypophosphite of iron (ferric) may 
 also be prepared in the following man- 
 ner :

 Dissolve the calcium hypophosphite in 
 24 fluidounces of distilled water, and fil- 
 ter the solution. To this add solution 
 of chlorid of iron, in small portions, 
 stirring well each time and allowing the 
 precipitate to subside before adding a 
 fresh portion. Toward the end, remove 
 a small quantity of the clear supernatant 
 liquid, add to it some solution of chlorid 
 of iron diluted with 10 times its volume 
 of water, and observe whether any tur- 
 bidity occurs either at once or after a 
 few minutes. If it remains clear, the 
 precipitation may be regarded as com- 
 plete. Then transfer the mixture to a 
 close linen or muslin strainer, and wash

 Hypophosphite of iron is rendered 
 soluble in water by mixing it with about 
 an equal weight of potassium citrate, 
 or some other alkali citrate. Theoret- 
 ically, ioo parts of iron and ammonium 
 sulfate will yield 51.9 parts, and 100 
 parts of calcium hypophosphite will 
 yield 85.3 parts of dry hypophosphite of 
 iron (ferric). — N. F. (1st ed.).

 Mix the iron wire, iodin, and iY 2 
 fiuidounces of distilled water in a flask 
 of thin glass, shake the mixture occa- 
 sionally until the reaction ceases and 
 the solution has acquired a green color 
 and lost the odor of iodin; then filter 
 through a small, well-wetted filter into 
 a porcelain capsule containing 3 av.- 
 ounces of milk sugar. Rinse the flask 
 and iron wire with a small quantity of 
 distilled water, pass the rinsings 
 through the filter into the capsule, and 
 evaporate on a water bath with fre- 
 quent stirring until a dry mass results. 
 Transfer this quickly to a heated iron 
 mortar, reduce to powder, and mix it 
 intimately with the reduced iron and 
 enough milk sugar to make the final 
 product weigh 8 av.ounces. 
 
 Transfer the product at once to small 
 and perfectly dry, well-stoppered bot- 
 tles, to be kept in a cool, dark place.

 ounces of water until no more precipi- 
 tation occurs, being careful towards the 
 end of the process to add but a little of 
 the carbonate at a time, and to allow 
 the precipitate to subside before adding 
 more of the precipitant. Then allow the 
 precipitate to subside, decant the moth- 
 er-liquor, and wash the precipitate by 
 repeated affusion and decantation of dis- 
 tilled water, until the washings when 
 mixed with 5 volumes of distilled water 
 no longer make an opalescent mixture 
 with silver nitrate solution. Transfer 
 the precipitate to a dampened piece of 
 muslin, and express gently so as to re- 
 move most of the contained water. Then 
 mix the precipitate in a porcelain cap- 
 sule with 4 l / 2 av.ounces of sugar and 30 
 gr. of pure caustic soda, the latter pre- 
 viously dissolved in. 3 fluidrams of wa-

 about 35 deg. C. 
 
 The product should be preserved in 
 dark amber-colored, well-stoppered bot- 
 tles.— U. S. P. 1800. 
 
 This iron phosphate is not to be con- 
 founded with the blue phosphate of iron 
 of the British Pharmacopeia and of the 
 U. S. P. 1870, which is made by pre- 
 cipitation from ferrous sulfate and is 
 bluish powder, nor with the white phos- 
 phate of iron made by precipitation from 
 solution of ferric sulfate which is also

 Precipitate the ferric hydrate from 
 the iron solution with ammonia water, 
 wash, drain, and express it as in making 
 the tartrate of iron and ammonia 
 (which see). Then mix the potassium 
 salt with the distilled water in a porce- 
 lain vessel, heat the mixture on a water 
 bath to a temperature not exceeding 60 
 deg. C. and gradually add the moist 
 ferric hydrate, stirring constantly until 
 it is dissolved. Filter the liquid while 
 hot and let the filtrate stand in a dark, 
 cool place for 24 hours. Then stir it 
 well with a porcelain or glass spatula 
 so that the precipitate which has formed 
 may be thoroughly incorporated with 
 the liquid. Now add very cautiously 
 just enough ammonia water to dissolve 
 the precipitate, evaporate the solution 
 in a porcelain vessel, at or below the 
 above -mentioned temperature, to the 
 consistence of syrup, and spread it on 
 plates of glass (or porcelain) so that 
 when dry the salt may be obtained in 
 scales. 
 
 The drying on glass or porcelain 
 
 plates may be facilitated by the use of 
 a temperature of about 35 deg. C. 
 
 The product should be preserved in 
 well-stoppered bottles, protected from 
 light.— U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 Iron (Ferric) Pyrophosphate, Solu- 
 ble. 
 
 Prepare like iron phosphate, soluble 
 (which see), but using, instead of the 
 sodium phosphate, 5 av. ounces of so- 
 dium pyrophosphate, also uneffloresced. 
 — U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1870, this compound 
 was made by first preparing precipitated 
 ferric pyrophosphate, then dissolving 
 this in a solution of ammonium citrate, 
 and then evaporating and scaling as be- 
 fore. 
 
 This soluble iron phosphate is not to 
 be confused with the white iron pyro- 
 phosphate, in powder, made by precipi- 
 tation, which is also commercially avail- 
 able.

 triturated with 2 fluidounces of distilled 
 water, and stir constantly until the qiu- 
 nine and citric acid are dissolved. Last- 
 ly evaporate the solution on a water 
 bath at a temperature not exceeding 60

 The product is in transparent scales 
 of a reddish brown color and slowly 
 soluble in water. The commercial cit- 
 rate of iron and quinine, however, is in 
 greenish-yellow scales readily soluble, 
 due to the addition of ammonia, and 
 such a preparation is now recognized 
 by the U. S. P. under the name soluble 
 iron and quinine citrate (which see). 
 
 Iron and Quinine Citrate, Soluble. 
 
 This is the -^reparation sold commer- 
 cially under the name "citrate of iron 
 and quinine." It is prepared similarly 
 to iron and quinine citrate (which see), 
 quinine and citric acid being mixed with 
 water and stirred into warm iron cit- 
 rate soluton until dissolved. Then add 
 gradually with constant stirring 4 fluid- 
 ounces, or a sufficient quantity of am- 
 monia water (10 p. c), so that after the 
 addition of each portion of the latter, 
 the precipitated quinine will be redis- 
 solved and the liquid acquire a greenish- 
 yellow tint. Lastly evaporate the solu- 
 tion on a water bath at a temperature 
 not exceeding 60 deg. C. to the consist- 
 ence of syrup, and spread it on glass 
 (or porcelain) plates to dry in scales. 
 — U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 This drying on the plates should be 
 facilitated by the use of a temperature 
 of about 35 deg. C. 
 
 The product is in greenish-yellow 
 scales containing at least 11^ p. c. of 
 ouinine. It should be preserved in well- 
 stoppered bottles protected from light. 
 
 Iron, Quinine and Strychnine Citrate. 
 
 This may be prepared like iron and 
 strychnine citrate (which see), but the 
 strychnine and citric acid should be 
 increased to 20 grains each, and to the 
 mixed iron and strychnine solutions add 
 a solution of 225 grains of quinine (al- 
 kaloid) and 60 gr. citric acid in 1 fluid- 
 ounce of distilled water. Evaporate and 
 scale the product like the other scale 
 salts,

 bath at a temperature not exceeding 60 
 deg. C. to the consistence of syrup, and 
 spread on glass (or porcelain) plates to 
 dry in scales. 
 
 The drying on the plates may be fa- 
 cilitated by the use of a temperature of 
 35 deg. C. 
 
 The product, which contains 1 p. c. of 
 strychnine, should be preserved in well- 
 stoppered bottles protected from light.

 Iron (Ferrous) Sulfate, Dried or Ex- 
 siccated. 
 
 Take any convenient quantity of pure 
 ferrous sulfate, crystal, in coarse pow- 
 der, allow the salt to effloresce at a 
 temperature of about 40 deg. C. in dry 
 air and then heat it in a porcelain dish 
 on a water bath, constantly stirring, 
 until for every 100 parts by weight of 
 crystals used there shall be 64 to 65 
 parts by weight of dried salt. Lastly 
 reduce the residue to fine powder and 
 transfer at once to perfectly dry, well- 
 stoppered bottles. — U. S. P. 
 
 3 grains of the dried salt are about 
 equal in strength to 5 grains of the crys- 
 talline.

 According to the U. S. P. 1880, it 
 was made by dissolving 6 av. ounces of 
 pure ferrous sulfate in 10 fluidounces 
 of distilled water previously mixed with 
 1 fluidram of sulfuric acid, filtering, al- 
 lowing to cool, adding the filtrate to an 
 equal volume of alcohol, setting aside

 Jutes. 
 
 Medicated jute is used sometimes as a 
 surgical dressing instead of medicated 
 cotton. The so-called raw or unbleached 
 jute as well as the bleached is used for 
 making the medicated jute, but the 
 bleached, being more absorbent, is pre- 
 ferred and is the only kind mentioned 
 in the formulas here given. Bleached 
 jute may be prepared from the un- 
 bleached in the same manner as absorb- 
 ent cotton and gauze are made from the 
 raw material. 
 
 In general jute is less absorbent than 
 cotton, but the former possesses the ad- 
 vantage of being more porous and not 
 packing together so closely. 
 
 Medicated jute is usually prepared 
 similarly to medicated cotton and gauze ; 
 the material is saturated with the medi- 
 cating liquid by kneading, subsequent ex- 
 | pressing to a weight double that of the

 Lard. (Adeps. — Adeps Suillus. — Ax- 
 ungia Porci.) 
 
 The adipose tissue adhering to the 
 
222 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 kidneys, mesentery and omentum of the 
 hog is considered the source of the best 
 lard. This is freed from flesh, then cut 
 into small pieces, removing, as far as 
 possible, all bloody matter and the mem- 
 branous tissue. Then heat in a tinned 
 copper, porcelain, or enameled-iron dish 
 on a water bath until the fat is about all 
 melted, and then strain. 
 
 The U. S. P. describes lard as the 
 prepared internal fat of the abdomen of 
 the hog, Sus scrofa, purified by wash- 
 ing, melting, and straining. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. describes it as the 
 purified fat of the hog, Sus scrofa, and 
 gives the following process: 
 
 From the perfectly fresh fat of the 
 abdomen of the hog, remove as much 
 of the external membranes as possible, 
 suspend the fat so that it shall be free- 
 ly exposed to the air for some hours, 
 cut it into small pieces, reduce these to 
 a uniform mass in which the mem- 
 branous vesicles are completely broken, 
 by beating in a mortar or by some 
 similar process, put the mass thus pro- 
 duced into a vessel surrounded by 
 warm water, heat to a temperature not 
 exceeding 57 deg. C. until the fat has 
 melted and separated from the mem- 
 branous matter, and strain. 
 
 The fat may be conveniently and 
 quickly reduced to small pieces by 
 grinding in a food chopper. The small- 
 er the pieces the more quickly will the 
 lard be melted out and the more nearly 
 odorless, therefore, will it be. 
 
 The U. S. P. directs that lard should 
 be kept in well-closed vessels, impervi- 
 ous to fat, and in a cool place. 
 
 Lard, Anhydrous or Dehydrated. 
 
 Lard may be made perfectly anhy- 
 drous by heating on a water bath for 
 about 30 minutes with about one-twelfth 
 its weight of anhydrous or dry sodium 
 sulfate in fine powder, then filtering 
 through paper, using some system of 
 hot filtration to maintain the lard in a 
 liquid state. 
 
 Lard prepared in this manner re- 
 
 mains "sweet" much longer than the 
 ordinary lard. — D. 
 
 Lard, Benzoinated. (Benzoated 
 .Lard.) 
 
 Lard av.oz. 16 
 
 Benzoin, coarse powder gr. 140 
 
 Add the benzoin to the lard and mix 
 thoroughly ; then melt the lard by means 
 of a water bath, and, stirring, frequent- 
 ly, continue the heat for 2 hours, cov- 
 ering the vessel and not allowing the 
 temperature to rise above 60 deg. C. 
 Strain the liquid through muslin and 
 stir occasionally while it cools. 
 
 When benzoinated lard is to be kept 
 or used during warm weather, it may 
 be hardened somewhat by adding 5 per 
 cent, (or more if necessary) of white 
 wax.— U. S. P. 
 
 The addition of stearin or Japan wax 
 has also been suggested for slightly 
 hardening lard and making it more suit- 
 able for use in summer time or in 
 warmer climates, but white wax is to 
 be preferred. 
 
 Benzoinated lard of the Brit. Pharm. 
 is made from 16 av. ounces of lard and 
 210 grains of powdered benzoin, heat- 
 ing on a water bath for 2 hours, stir- 
 ring frequently, then straining to re- 
 move the benzoin, and stirring the lard 
 until cold. 
 
 Benzoated lard of the Austr. Pharm. 
 is made like that of the Brit. Pharm., 
 but using 280 grains of powdered Siam 
 benzoin. 
 
 Benzoated lard of the Germ. Pharm. 
 is made melting, on a water bath, 1 
 av.pound of lard, and dissolving 71 
 grains of benzoic acid, from benzoin, 
 in it. 
 
 Lard may be benzoinated most conve- 
 niently and satisfactorily in the follow- 
 ing manner: 
 
 Benzoin, coarse powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Ether fl.oz. 2 
 
 Castor oil, to make av.oz. Y* 
 
 Macerate the benzoin in the ether for 
 24 hours, agitating frequently, filter, to 
 the filtrate add one av.ounce of the oil. 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 223 
 
 carefully distil off the ether, and add 
 the remainder of the oil to the residue. 
 
 Instead of the ether, 4 fluidounces of 
 pure wood alcohol may be used. 
 
 Then melt together, on a water bath, 
 1 av. ounce of white wax and 3 av. pounds 
 of lard, and incorporate with this the 
 above oil solution of benzoin. Anhy- 
 drous lard is to be preferred for this

 Lards, Factitious. 
 
 Quite a number of fats of animals, 
 frequently called "greases," are demand- 
 ed of pharmacists. Some of these lards 
 or fats cannot be obtained, or at least 
 with great difficulty, and as a rule other 
 substances or mixtures of other sub- 
 stances are substituted for them. The 
 formulas given herewith will be found 
 acceptable for preparing these "greases." 
 Badger Fat (Dachs-Fett). 
 
 Ordinary lard is dispensed. 
 Bear's Fat or Grease (Baeren-Fett). 
 
 Olive oil, yellow fl.oz 4 
 
 Lard av.oz. 12 
 
 Benzoic acid, powder gr. 60 
 
 Melt the lard at a gentle heat, add the 
 oil and incorporate the acid by stirring 
 until uniform. 
 
 Ordinary lard is most commonly given 
 for it. 
 Castor Fat or Grease (Biebergeil-Fett). 
 
 Lard av.oz. 1 
 
 Beef suet av.oz. I 
 
 Burgundy pitch av.oz. 1 
 
 Castor, powder gr. 20 
 
 Melt all together at a gentle heat, 
 strain, and stir till cool. 
 
 A common substitute is to use lard 
 with a few drops of tincture of castor 
 added. 
 Cat's Fat or Grease (Katzen-Fett). 
 
 Lard av.oz. 4 
 
 Oil of valerian drops 4 
 
 Dog's Fat or Grease (Hunde-Fett). 
 
 Olive oil, yellow fl.oz. 1 
 
 Lard av.oz. 3 or 4 
 
 Lard is often dispensed for it, but its 
 consistence is too firm. 
 Eel Fat or Oil (Aal-Fett). 
 
 Cod-liver oil is usually dispensed for 
 it. Hager recommends mixture of 9 
 
 parts each of sweet almond and castor 
 
 oils and 2 of cod-liver oil. 
 
 Fox Fat or Grease (Fuchs-Fett). 
 
 Dispense lard. 
 Goose Grease or Oil (Gaense-Fett).

 are now practically obsolete. They were 
 sweetened, of the consistency of honey 
 and intended to be licked off a spoon. 
 Only one linctus, the common or white

 Sometimes other oils are used instead 
 of cotton seed oil; lard oil is excellent. 
 The oleic acid for this purpose need 
 not necessarily be the purified article; 
 the crude will serve as well. Stearic 
 acid may also be used instead of it. 
 
 Liniment of ammonia of the Brit. 
 Pharm. is made from 1 fluidounce each 
 of ammonia water, 10 p. c. and sweet 
 almond oil and 2 fluidounces of olive 
 oil. 
 
 The preparation of the Germ. Pharm. 
 is made from 3 parts by weight of olive 
 oil, 1 of poppy-seed oil, and 1 of 10 p. c. 
 ammonia water. 
 
 II. Cine. Acad, of Pharm. formula 
 for liquid oleate of ammonium or harts- 
 horn liniment which is an improvement 
 on the U. S. P. formula for ammonia 
 liniment and is intended to be used in 
 place of the latter: 
 
 Ammonia water av.oz. 10 
 
 Lard oil av.oz. 9 
 
 Cottonseed oil av.oz. 11 
 
 Mix by agitation in a bottle. 
 The ingredients may be mixed if de- 
 sired in the same proportion by fluid 
 measure. 
 
 The ammonia water must be of the 
 strength of the U. S. P., viz., 10 per 
 cent. 
 
 This preparation is of about the same 
 strength as liniment of ammonia U. S. 
 P. (which see) and contains about 57 
 per cent, of ammonium oleate.

 This is recommended for both exter- 
 nal and internal use. It is used in chron- 
 ic rheumatism, bruises, sprains, chil- 
 blains, lameness, etc. In ordinary cases, 
 rub in well several times, then wrap in 
 warm flannel. Internally take 20 drops 
 on sugar. In severe and obstinate cases, 
 bathe the parts as directed, apply flan- 
 nel, and keep the latter moist with the 
 liniment. In case of toothache, apply 
 a small quantity of the liquid to the 
 hollow of the tooth on a piece of cot- 
 ton. If the face is swollen, apply some 
 of the liquid externally.

 Dissolve the potassa in 3^2 fluidounces 
 of water, put the solution into a bottle 
 of the capacity of about 24 fluidounces, 
 add the oil and alcohol, and shake the 
 mixture briskly from time to time until 
 there is no further separation of oil on 
 standing. Let the solution stand in a 
 moderately warm place for 24 hours, 
 then dissolve in it the oil of lavender 
 and add enough water to make 16 fluid- 
 ounces. 
 
 Purified cottonseed oil or olive oil 
 
 may be substituted for the linseed oil, 
 but the latter makes a brown prepara- 
 tion of the color generally desired. 
 
 The potassa should be of the U. S. P. 
 strength, i. e., containing 90 per cent, of 
 absolute potassium hydroxid.

 This preparation is still occasionally 
 demanded. The above are the directions 
 of the former London Pharmacopeia. 
 Lint, Medicated. (Turunda.) 
 
 Lint may be medicated by saturating 
 with a solution of the medicating sub- 
 stance. The solvent is preferably water, 
 though alcohol, ether or other liquids 
 may be necessary. Sometimes mixtures 
 of glycerin and other substances with 
 water are advisable. Borated and car- 
 bolated lint may be made, for example, 
 by saturating a certain weight of ab- 
 sorbent or purified lint with an aqueous 
 solution, which may contain glycerin, 
 containing the required amount of acid. 
 The lint should be made to absorb all 
 the liquid by kneading, as in making 
 some of the gauzes (see Gauzes), then 
 weighting down for several hours, and 
 finally suspending on strings or wooden 
 rods to dry. 
 
 Iodoform lint may be prepared by dis- 
 solving the requisite amount of iodo- 
 form in ether or chloroform, saturating 
 the lint with this liquid, weighting down 
 for several hours, then suspending on 
 strings or wooden rods to dry. Daylight 
 must be excluded during the entire op- 
 eration. 
 
 The principal medicated lints in use 
 and their strengths are as follows : Bo- 
 rated, 10 per cent. ; carbolated, 5 p. c. ; 
 and corrosive sublimate, 1 in 1000.

 and continue stirring until no more 
 fumes arise. When the liquid is cold, 
 pour it into a glass-stoppered bottle. 
 
 In preparing this mixture, caution 
 should be used, so that the temperature 
 may not rise too high. Particular care 
 is to be observed, if a larger quantity of 
 this mixture is to be prepared. In this 
 case it is preferable to prepare it in 
 several portions. — N. F.

 To 6 av.ounces of such add 30 grains 
 of pure carbolic acid or betanophthol or 
 
 90 grains of resorcin. The last is pref- 
 erable, as it is not caustic. 
 Magnesium Tartrate. 
 
 The Rademacher preparation is made 
 (according to H.) by dissolving tartaric 
 acid in twice its quantity of warm dis- 
 tilled water, gradually adding magne- 
 sium carbonate until neutralized, then 
 evaporating the product on a water bath 
 to dryness and rubbing to powder. 
 Marrow. (Medulla.) 
 
 Take fresh marrow from cattle, cut 
 into small pieces and heat on a water 
 bath until thoroughly melted, then strain 
 with expression. 
 
 The product may be dehydrated if 
 desired by heating with a small amount 
 of anhydrous sodium sulfate for about 
 15 minutes, stirring frequently, and fil- 
 ter by hot filtration. Such a preparation 
 will keep better than when not dehy- 
 drated.— D. 
 
 A factitious article may be prepared

 powder is uniformly dampened. Then 
 gradually incorporate with it the copaiba 
 so that a uniform mixture will result, 
 place the capsule on a water bath, and 
 heat during y 2 hour, frequently stirring. 
 Lastly, transfer the mixture to a suit- 
 able vessel and set this aside until the 
 mass has acquired a pilular consistence.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 varieties of copaiba are not equally well 
 adapted for making this preparation, de- 
 pending on their relative contents of 
 volatile oil and resin. The Maracaibo 
 is the best, as it has the smallest pro- 
 portion of oil. The presence of a small 
 amount of water is also necessary to 
 facilitate combination. This is the rea- 
 son for moistening the magnesia before 
 adding the copaiba. It is even advisable 
 to agitate the latter with a small amount 
 of water, allowing the water to subside, 
 decanting the balsam, and mixing this 
 with the magnesia as before. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1880 no heat was used, 
 the mixture of balsam and magnesia be- 
 ing allowed to stand until it became 
 solid, usually about 8 or 10 hours.

 Medications, Homeopathic. 
 Medications, in homeopathy, are of 
 
 three kinds, powders, globules, and 
 cones. 
 
 The powders are prepared by adding 
 to 10 gm. of milk sugar 1 cc. of the 
 next lower than the desired strength 
 of dilution (or 10 minims of dilution 
 to 95 grains of milk sugar), mixing the 
 same in a mortar with a spatula, then 
 triturating with a pestle until fully dry. 
 The resulting powder will represent the 
 degree of strength next above the dilu- 
 tion used in its preparation; that is, a 
 3x dilution will make a 4x powder, etc. 
 
 As to the method of designating the 
 strength of medications and other ho- 
 meopathic preparations, see Dilutions, 
 Homeopathic. 
 
 Medicated globules, also called pellets 
 or pilules, are made almost exclusively 
 of cane sugar. They are formed into 
 small globular masses of different sizes, 
 designated according to the length of 
 10 globules laid in a straight row, meas- 
 ured in millimeters. Globules are also 
 made to a limited extent of milk sugar ; 
 these will absorb alcoholic dilution con- 
 taining a much larger percentage of 
 water than will those made of cane 
 sugar. 
 
 Globules are medicated by placing 
 them in a vial, adding the dilution in 
 sufficient quantity, and allowing them 
 to stand a sufficient length of time to 
 become saturated ; any excess of liquid 
 is then to be poured off. If necessary 
 to remove the surplus fluid, the vial 
 may be inverted on a clean, white blot- 
 ting paper until the globules cease to 
 cling together. 
 
 In medicating cane-sugar globules, 
 care should be exercised not to use a 
 dilution having an alcoholic strength of 
 much less than 88 per cent, or that of 
 dispensing alcohol. 
 
 As in the case of the powders, a dilu- 
 tion of a certain strength will make 
 globules of the next higher strength. 
 
 Medicated cones, also called disks, are 
 made of cane sugar, and rendered more 
 absorbent by the addition of a small 
 quantity of white of egg. which also

 makes them very light and porous. They 
 are formed into hemispherical masses, 
 and are designated according to size by 
 the diameter of the base in millimeters. 
 The common size, numbered 6, should 
 absorb about 2 drops of dispensing al- 
 cohol. They are medicated exactly like 
 the medicated globules described above.

 Weigh the mercury and honey into a 
 strong bottle of the capacity of about 8 
 fluidounces and add 80 minims of wa- 
 ter. Cork the bottle, and shake it for 
 about V2. hour at a time, until the ag- 
 gregate time of shaking reaches 10 
 hours or until the globules of mercury 
 are no longer visible under a lens mag- 
 nifying 4* diameters. This shaking may 
 be more conveniently performed by me- 
 chanical means. Rub the chalk with 
 water in a mortar to a thick, creamy 
 paste, and, having added the contents of 
 the bottle, washing out the last portions 
 with a little water, triturate the whole 
 to a uniform mixture. Finally dry the 
 mixture, first between ample layers of 
 bibulous paper, and afterwards in a dish 
 at the ordinary temperature until it 
 weighs 8 av.ounces. Then reduce to 
 uniform powder without trituration. 
 
 Keep in well-stoppered bottles, pro- 
 tected from light. — U. S. P.

 Mix the acid with 6Y 2 fluidrams of 
 distilled water in a flask, and digest the 
 mercury in the mixture, applying a grad- 
 ually increased heat until about no 
 grains of the metal have dissolved and 
 a small portion of the solution diluted 
 with about 20 times its bulk of distilled 
 water yields a perfectly black precipi- 
 tate with ammonia water. Dilute the 
 hot solution with 10 fluidrams of dis- 
 tilled water, and, while warm, filter it 
 into a vessel containing 4 times its bulk 
 of cold distilled water. Having thor- 
 oughly mixed the filtrate with the wa- 
 ter, add the ammonia water, previously 
 diluted with 1 fluidounce of distilled wa- 
 ter, in a thin stream, stirring constantly 
 meanwhile. As soon as the precipitate 
 has subsided, decant the supernatant 
 liquid, shake the precipitate with a fresh 
 portion of distilled water, collect it on 
 a filter, wash it thoroughly, and dry it 
 between folds of filtering paper, without 
 the aid of heat.

 Break the myrrh into small pieces, 
 mix it and the sugar and potassium 
 carbonate, in a mortar, with 12 fluid- 
 ounces of rose water, at first gradually 
 added, so that a uniform mixture may 
 result. Transfer this to a graduate, 
 add the spirit, and then the ferrous sul- 
 fate, previously dissolved in about 1 
 fluidounce of rose water, and lastly 
 enough rose water to make the product 
 measure 16 fluid ounces. — N. F. 
 
 The myrrh used for this preparation 
 should be selected pieces of the gum ; 
 on no account should the powder be 
 employed. 
 
 The N. F. directs the preparation to 
 be freshly made, when wanted. How- 
 ever the above mixture may be made 
 up without the iron, to 15 fluidounces, 
 to the latter adding the ferrous sulfate 
 dissolved in 1 fluidounce of rose water 
 when the mixture is wanted. The mix- 
 ture without the iron is quite stable. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. uses 42 gr. of fer- 
 rous sulfate, 50 of potassium carbonate, 
 100 each of myrrh and sugar, 85 minims 
 of spirit of nutmeg and rose water to 
 make 16 fluidounces.

 The formula of the Germ. Pharm. is 
 practically the same as the above, but 
 contains no oil of orange flowers, al- 
 though the earlier editions of this work 
 did specify this ingredient, also men- 
 tions eugenol instead of oil of clove.

 The first mentioned, the tonic mixture, 
 is the one generallv used in this coun- 
 try. It is frequently made with some 
 syrup other than syrup of wild cherry, 
 such as simple syrup. The "mixture of 
 iron, acid," is a slight variation of this 
 mixture. 
 
 Mixture, Sulfuric Acid. (Haller's 
 Acid Elixir.) 
 
 Sulfuric acid av.oz. 1

 enough alcohol, if necessary, to make 
 4 aw ounces. 
 
 The same product may be obtained, 
 approximately, by carefully and slowly 
 adding I volume of sulfuric acid to 7 
 volumes of alcohol, and this method 
 may be used when small quantities are 
 required for immediate use in a pre- 
 scription. — N. F. and Germ. Pharm. 
 
 The sulfuric acid used in this prep- 
 aration should be chemically pure and 
 of the strength designated by the U. S. 
 P., viz., g2]/ 2 per cent, of absolute acid.

 The lime water facilitates solution 
 and aids in preserving the preparation. 
 Tolu water is another excellent solvent 
 and preservative for use in this prepapa- 
 tion and has been highly recommended 
 for this purpose.

 Water, to make fl.oz. 16 
 
 Mix them in a tared vessel, and heat 
 the mixture, under constant stirring, to 
 near boiling, until the dextrin is dis- 
 solved and a limpid liquid results. Then 
 restore any loss of water by evaporation, 
 strain the liquid through muslin, and 
 allow it to cool short of gelatinizing, 
 when it will be ready for immediate 
 use. 
 
 If the mucilage is not at once to be 
 used for preparing emulsions or other 
 mixtures, transfer it, while hot, to bot- 
 tles, which should be filled to the neck. 
 Then pour into each bottle a sufficient 
 quantity of olive or other bland fixed 
 oil to form a protecting layer, and when 
 the mucilage has gelatinized, securely 
 cork the bottles, and keep them in a 
 cool place, in an upright position. 
 
 When gelatinized mucilage of dextrin 
 is to be used for the preparation of 
 emulsions or for other mixtures, pour 
 off the protecting layer of oil from the 
 surface, remove the remainder of the 
 oil by a pellet of absorbent cotton and 
 warm the bottle gently, until the muci- 
 lage is liquefied. Then allow it to cool 
 short of gelatinizing. 
 
 The kind of dextrin suitable for this 
 preparation is the commercial, while 
 variety, provided it still contains some 
 unaltered or only partially altered starch 
 and forms a jelly on cooling when made 
 
 into a mucilage after the formula above 
 given. The yellow variety, which is 
 completely soluble in 2 parts of cold 
 water, will not answer the purpose.

 Digest the bark with the water on a 
 water bath during i hour, then strain. 
 
 Elm bark is difficult to bruise so that 
 it is advisable to grind it coarsely in a 
 mill or to cut it with an herb cutter. 
 
 This preparation should be freshly 
 made when wanted. 
 
 Mucilage of Irish Moss. (Mucilage 
 of Chondrus or Carrageen.) 
 
 Irish moss av.oz. y 2 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 16 
 
 Wash the Irish moss with cold water, 
 then place it in a suitable vessel, add 
 16 fluidounces of water, and heat it, on 
 a boiling water bath, for 15 minutes, 
 frequently stirring. Then strain it 
 through muslin, and pass enough water 
 through the strainer to make the liquid, 
 when cold, measure 16 fluidounces. 
 
 This preparation may also be made in 
 the following manner : 
 
 Gelatin of Irish moss gr. 145 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 16 
 
 Heat the gelatin with 16 fluidounces 
 of water, at a boiling temperature, until 
 it is completely dissolved. Then allow 
 the solution to cool, and add enough 
 water, if necessary, to make 16 fluid- 
 ounces. 
 
 Mucilage of Irish moss, thus prepared, 
 is well adapted for the preparation of 
 emulsions of fixed oils. If it is, how- 
 ever, required for admixture with clear ' 
 liquids, it should be diluted, when fresh- 
 ly made, and while still hot, with about 
 3 volumes of boiling water, filtered, and 
 the filtrate evaporated to the volume 
 corresponding to the proportions above 
 given. The filtration may be greatly 
 facilitated by filling the filter loosely

 with absorbent cotton, and pouring the 
 liquid upon the latter. 
 
 This mucilage may be preserved for 
 some time by transferring it, while hot, 
 into bottles, which should be filled to 
 the neck, then pouring a layer of olive 
 or other bland fixed oil on top, securely 
 stoppering the bottles, and keeping them 
 in an upright position in a cool place. 
 When the mucilage is wanted for use, 
 the layer of oil may be removed by

 deg. C. or below this temperature. The 
 cooling may be hastened by frequent 
 and brief immersion of the flask in 
 cold water. 
 
 This preparation should be freshly 
 made, as required for use. 
 
 If sugar or syrup is prescribed in the 
 same mixture with mucilage of salep, it 
 
 is preferable to triturate the required 
 quantity of powdered salep with either

 Mulls, Plaster and Salve. 
 
 Plaster mulls and salve mulls were 
 introduced in dermatologic practice by 
 Dr. Unna. Plaster mulls may be made 
 in the following manner : 
 
 Place a fine, moist linen cloth on an 
 
250 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 ironing board, which is not too thickly 
 padded, over this a sheet of gutta- 
 percha, which must not be too thin, 
 however, about 6 to 8 inches wide, and 
 over this a large sheet of smooth gauze, 
 which must not come in contact with 
 the moist linen. Then the gauze is 
 made to adhere to the gutta-percha by 
 ironing over with a flat iron, which re- 
 quires some practice, for if the iron is 
 too hot, and remains too long on the 
 gauze, the gutta-percha will become per- 
 forated; on the other hand, when not 
 hot enough, the two will not adhere 
 permanently. This fabric is then spread 
 and fastened on a plaster board, and 
 coated several times with the plaster 
 mass, which is dissolved in petroleum 
 benzine in the proportion of I to 4, or 
 even 1 to 3. 
 
 To prepare the plaster, heat a piece 
 of caoutchouc for Yz hour to a tempera- 
 ture of 200 deg. C. After cooling, cut 
 into pieces as small as possible, place 
 in an iron or brass mortar into a 
 steam bath, add to 3 parts of caout- 
 chouc, 1 part of oleic acid and 3 
 parts of resin and knead thoroughly, 
 at intervals, until no more lumps of 
 caoutchouc are visible. This is dis- 
 solved, as above stated, in 3 or 4 parts 
 of petroleum ether (gasolin) to 1 part 
 of the mass. With this solution the 
 gauze is to be coated several times, 
 avoiding presence of any fire. When 
 dry, a piece of starched gauze is to be 
 laid on the face. 
 
 The National Formulary states that 
 salve mulls are ointments of high fusing 
 points, containing the desired medicinal 
 agent and spread upon gauze or "mull" 
 in a manner similar to the ordinary 
 spread plasters. Although these mulls 
 are more conveniently produced with the 
 aid of special mechanical appliances, it 
 is quite practicable to prepare them on 
 a limited scale as follows : 
 
 A sheet of moistened parchment paper 
 is spread smoothly on a table top, the 
 excess of moisture wiped off with a 
 cloth, and a corresponding piece of un- 
 
 sized gauze is evenly stretched upon the 
 parchment paper and held in place by 
 thumb tacks. The previously melted 
 and partly cooled ointment is then spread 
 evenly on the gauze by means of a 
 broad, flat, bristle brush, and when a 
 sufficient layer has been applied in this 
 way, the surface is smoothed by the aid 
 of two flexible spatulas, heated by im- 
 mersion in hot water, wiped dry, and 
 used alternately to expedite this opera- 
 tion. A smooth surface having been at- 
 tained, the thumb tacks are removed, 
 and the salve mull is withdrawn from 
 the parchment paper, this operation be- 
 ing facilitated by wrapping the uncoated 
 end of the gauze over a flat stick of 
 wood. The salve mull is then suspended 
 on a string in a cool room, and when 
 thoroughly chilled, it is covered with 
 paraffin paper and rolled up. 
 
 Salve mulls differ therefore from 
 plaster mulls in not having a gutta- 
 percha backing, the mass is made with- 
 out caoutchouc, it melts more readily, 
 and is applied to the mull in a melted 
 condition. 
 
 The most suitable base for preparing 
 salve mulls is a mixture of suet and 
 lard, in variable proportions, with the 
 occasional addition of wax or lead plas- 
 ter, this depending on the nature of the 
 medicinal component or the intended 
 use. The following formulas may serve 
 as examples : 
 
 I. Zinc Salve Mull (10 per cent.) : 
 
 Zinc oxid part 1 
 
 Benzoinated lard parts 2 
 
 Benzoinated suet parts 7 
 
 II. Salicylic Acid Salve Mull (10 per

 Salicylic acid parts 10 
 
 Creosote parts 20 
 
 Yellow wax parts 5 
 
 Benzoinated suet parts 65 
 
 Oakum, Medicated. 
 
 Medicated oakum is sometimes used 
 as a surgical dressing instead of cotton. 
 It is somewhat cheaper than jute and 
 much cheaper than cotton. Carbolated 
 (5 per cent.) 'and mercuric chlorid 
 (1:1000) oakums are used mostly. 
 These may be prepared like the corres- 
 ponding jutes. See Jutes. 
 
 Oil of Amber. (Oleum Succini.) 
 
 I. Crude oil of amber (U. S. P. 1850) : 
 Mix amber in powder with an equal 
 
 weight of sand, introduce into a glass 
 retort or flask, which is to be only half 
 filled, then distil on a sand bath, with 
 a gradually increasing heat. The dis- 
 tillate will separate into an acid liquid, 
 an oil, and a concrete acid impregnated 
 with oil. The oil is to be separated 
 from the other matters and kept in well- 
 stoppered bottles. 
 
 II. Rectified oil of amber (U. S. P. 
 1870) : 
 
 Crude oil of amber pint 1 
 
 Water pints 6 
 
 Mix in a glass retort or flask, and 
 distil until 4' pints of water have passed 
 with the oil into the receiver; then 
 separate the oil from the water and pre- 
 serve in a well-stoppered bottle. 
 
 There is probably but little genuine 
 oil of amber on the market and those 
 requiring a true oil should prepare it 
 themselves.

 of cut arnica flowers for the herb and 
 adding to the flowers 75 grains of 
 coarsely powdered turmeric root. — D.

 Oil, Baunscheidt. (Compound Oil of 
 Euphorbium.) 
 
 Baunscheidt was a German charlatan 
 who claimed to cure rheumatic and 
 other diseases by means of what he 
 called a "lebenswecker," i. e., "awaken- 
 er" or "revulseur." This consists of a 
 number of sharp-pointed needles set in 
 a bed of hard rubber. By means of a 
 spiral spring arrangement these needles 
 are driven into the skin over the seat of 
 pain, not deep enough to draw blood, 
 while into the wounds produced is rub- 
 bed the "Baunscheidt oil." This is an 
 irritating substance and produces papu- 
 lar eruptions similar to those produced 
 by croton oil. The effect is that of a 
 powerful counter-irritant. In medicine 
 this treatment is known as acupuncture. 
 Formulas for the oil are as follows: 
 
 Cantharides, powder gr. 48

 Oil, British. (Oleum or Linimentum 
 Britannicum. — Oil of Stone.) 
 
 There are many formulas for this 
 preparation. Originally oil of stone was 
 natural rock oil or petroleum and many 
 formulas for imitations of this article 
 were in vogue, in former days when it 
 was scarce, expensive and reputed to 
 possess great medical virtues. The for- 
 mulas for British oil were similar and 
 gradually the two names became to be 
 considered synonymous. 
 
 When oil of stone is asked for, it 
 may, however, sometimes be the crude 
 petroleum which is desired instead of 
 the mixture known as British oil.

 water, add the latter liquid gradually to 
 the soap solution (when cold), stirring 
 constantly. Collect the precipitate with- 
 out washing; place between folds of

 ing about 350 grains, place in a porce- 
 lain or enameled iron evaporating dish 
 with the salt and oil, heat on a water 
 bath until solution takes place, and 
 filter. The object of the salt is to ab- 
 stract water from the iron compound 
 and thus facilitate its solution in the

 This may be made by dissolving 1 
 gr. of phosphorus in 16 fluidounces of 
 cod liver oil by the aid of a gentle heat 
 on a water bath, agitating frequently. 
 
 This preparation may also be con- 
 veniently prepared by mixing 2 fluidrams 
 of phosphorated oil with 16 fluidounces 
 of cod liver oil. 
 Oil, Cod Liver, with Quinine. 
 
 This may be prepared by dissolving 
 64 grains of dry quinine alkaloid in a 
 small amount of pure oleic acid by the 
 aid of a gentle heat, and add enough 
 cod liver oil to make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 Of course, a ready-prepared quinine 
 oleate may be added directly to the oil.

 Oil of Eggs. 
 
 This is obtained by subjecting hard- 
 boiled yolk of eggs to pressure, or by 
 extracting hard-boiled yolks with car- 
 bon disulfid. About 1 fluidounce of oil 
 is thus obtained from 16 yolks. 
 
 The oil deteriorates very readily and 
 must be preserved in dram-vials in a 
 cool, dark place.

 Add the acid slowly to the alcohol, 
 mix them thoroughly, and allow the 
 mixture to stand, in a closed flask, for 
 24 hours, or until the liquid is clear ; 
 then pour the liquid into a tubulated re- 
 tort of such capacity that the liquid 
 shall nearly fill it. Insert a thermometer 
 through the tubulure, so that the bulb 
 shall be deeply immersed in the liquid 
 and having connected the retort with a 
 well-cooled condenser and also having 
 connected with the receiver a bent glass 
 tube for conducting the uncondensed 
 gases into water, distil, by means of a 
 sand bath at a temperature between 150 
 and 160 deg. C. until only drops cease 
 to come over, or until a black froth, 
 which forms on the surface, begins to 
 rise in the retort. Separate the yellow 
 ethereal liquid from the distillate and 
 expose it to the air, for 24 hours, in a 
 shallow dish. Then transfer it to a 
 wet filter, and, when the watery portion 
 has drained ofT, wash the oil which is 
 left on the filter with the distilled water 
 which should be as cold as possible. 
 When this also has drained off. mix the

 remaining oil with an equal volume of 
 stronger ether. 
 
 The oily liquid obtained is what is 
 known as heavy oil of wine, so that 
 ethereal oil is a mixture of equal vol- 
 umes of heavy oil of wine and stronger 
 ether. 
 
 The product should be preserved in 
 small glass-stoppered bottles in a cool 
 place. — N. F. 
 
 Ethereal oil of the market is fre- 
 quently known as heavy oil of wine but 
 of course should not be confused with 
 the true heavy oil of wine, which is 
 also obtainable. The commercial ether- 
 eal oil can be had at almost any price 
 and probably consists of heavy oil of 
 wine diluted with more or less ether 
 or alcohol or both to suit the ideas of 
 intending purchasers. As the average 
 yield of oil is about 2 to 2^ per cent, 
 of the alcohol used, it follows that the 
 oil cannot but be an expensive article. 
 It is used pharmaceutically only in the 
 making of compound spirit of ether.

 Oil, Gray. (Oleum Cinereum.) 
 
 This is a fluid form of mercurial oint- 
 ment employed by Prof. Lang of Vienna 
 for subcutaneous injection. There are 
 two strengths, a stronp - and a mild, one 
 prepared from a strong, the other from 
 a weak, special mercurial ointment. 
 
 The strong oil is prepared from 9 
 parts by weight of the strGng gray oint- 
 ment and 4 of olive oil, mixing thor- 
 oughly. It contains nearly 50 per cent, 
 of metallic mercury, and is injected in 
 quantities of 0.1 cc. 
 
 The weak oil is prepared from 6 parts 
 by weight of mild gray ointment and 4 
 of olive oil, mixing thoroughly. It con- 
 tains 30 p. c. of metallic mercury, and 
 is injected in quantities of 0.1 cc. 
 
 The strong "gray lanolin ointment" 
 is prepared from 1 av. ounce of anhy- 
 drous wool fat, 2 av. ounces of metallic 
 mercury, and about 2 to 2Y2 fluidounces 
 of chloroform. The fat and mercury 
 are to be triturated together in a 
 capacious mortar, gradually adding 
 chloroform, until the mercury is well 
 extinguished. Then continue trituration 
 till the chloroform has dissipated. 
 
 The weak ointment is prepared in the 
 same manner from 1 av. ounce each of 
 anhydrous wool fat and metallic mer- 
 cury and about 10 to 12 fluidrams of 
 chloroform. 
 
 The strong gray oil may be made di- 
 rectly from the metal by mixing 6 parts 
 by weight of it with 3 of anhydrous 
 wool fat and 4 of olive oil; the weak 
 gray oil from 3 each of metallic mer- 
 cury and anhydrous wool fat and 4 of 
 olive oil. The metal should be tritur- 
 ated with the fat until extinguished, 
 then incorporated with the oil.

 Oils, Infused. (Olea Cocta or Infusa.) 
 The following is the general process 
 of the N. F. for preparing the so-called 
 infused oils, such as oil of hyoseyamus, 
 oil of chamomile, etc. : 
 The dry herb, moderately 
 
 coarse (No. 40) powder. av.oz. zVa 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 3 
 
 Ammonia water, 10 p. c m. 30 
 
 Lard oil av.oz. 8 
 
 Cottonseed oil av.oz. 8 
 
 Moisten the powdered herb with a 
 sufficient quantity of the alcohol and 
 ammonia water previously mixed, then 
 pack it tightly into a stone or enamelled 
 iron vessel of suitable capacity, pour on 
 the remainder of the ammoniated alco- 
 hol, cover it well, and allow the mix- 
 ture to macerate for 24 hours. Then 
 add 2 av.ounces of the mixed oils, 
 digest, under frequent agitation, during 
 T2 hours, at a temperature between 50 
 and 60 deg. C, transfer the mixture to 
 a strainer, and express strongly. To 
 the residue, returned to the vessel, add 
 the remainder of the oils, digest and 
 express in the same manner, and unite 
 the expressed portions. 
 
 This process is a modification of that 
 prescribed by the Germ. Pharm. The 
 alcohol and free ammonia are dissipated 
 during the digestion. Infused oils are 
 usually prepared usually from so-called 
 narcotic plants, but it is known that 
 only a portion of their active constitu- 
 ents is taken up by the oil.

 Introduce a quantity of the oil into 
 a flask, heat it on a sand bath to 250 
 deg. C, keep it at that temperature for 
 15 minutes, then allow it to cool, and 
 filter it. Put 4^2 av.ounces of the fil- 
 tered oil together with the phosphorus, 
 previously well dried with filtering or 
 blottins: paper, into a dry, tared bottle 
 capable of holding about 6 fluidounces, 
 insert the stopper, and heat the bottle 
 in a water bath until the phosphorus 
 is completely melted (occasionally open- 
 ing the bottle to allow the expanded 
 air to escape). Then agitate it until 
 
 the phosphorus is dissolved, allow it to 
 cool, add enough stronger ether to make 
 the mixture weigh 5 av. ounces, and 
 shake again. Lastly, transfer the solu- 
 tion to small glass-stoppered vials, which 
 should be completely filled and kept in 
 a cool and dark place. — N. F. and U. S. 
 P. 1890. 
 
 The preliminary heating of the oil is 
 to coagulate albuminous matter which 
 fixed oils contain, also to expel air and 
 traces of water. 
 
 The ether assists in preservation of 
 the product as well as to render it less 
 disagreeable to the taste. 
 
 The phosphorus used should be in 
 translucent pieces. 
 
 The product contains 1 per cent, by 
 weight of phosphorus, or slightly over 
 y 2 gr. in a fluidram. It should be free 
 from any undissolved phosphorus. 
 II. 
 
 Heat sweet almond oil in a porcelain 
 dish to about 150 deg. C. and keep it 
 at this temperature for about 15 minutes, 
 then let it cool, and filter through pa- 
 per. Put 99 parts by weight into a 
 stoppered bottle capable of holding rath- 
 er more than this amount, and add to" it 
 one part by weight of dry phosphorus. 
 Immerse the bottle in hot water until 
 the mixture has acquired the tempera- 
 ture of 82 deg. C, removing the stopper 
 two or three times to allow the escape 
 of expanded air; then shake until the 
 phosphorus is entirely dissolved. 
 
 The proportion of phosphorus to oil 
 is 18 grains of the former to 4 av.- 
 ounces of the latter. — Brit. Pharm.

 different article, mixtures of various 
 kinds being used. The most common 
 mixture is Barbadoes tar with about 3 
 times its volume of oil of turpentine. 
 Sometimes some raw linseed oil is add- 
 ed, also a small amount of crude oil of 
 amber or oil of hemlock is added to 
 partially modify the odor of the turpen- 
 tine. Another mixture which has been 
 suggested is a mixture of 1 fluidounce 
 of amber oil, 2 fluidounces of Barbadoes 
 tar and 16 each of linseed and turpen-

 The Germ. Pharm. directs the pro- 
 portions of 1 part by weight of oil to 
 50 of sugar and- directs 25 drops of oil 
 to be considered equal to 1 grain of 
 oil. But inasmuch as these prepara-

 This acid used for making this and 
 other carbolic ointments should be the 
 crystal acid itself or preferably this 
 melted by aid of heat, and then should 
 be added to the melted fat. On no 
 account should an acid liquefied by the 
 aid of alcohol, water, glycerin or other 
 similar liquid be used, as this interferes 
 with the solution of the acid. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1890 this ointment 
 contained 5 per cent, of acid and was 
 made with simple ointment as the ve- 
 hicle.

 Prepare the casein as follows : Take 
 milk from which the cream or fat has 
 been entirely removed, curdle it by the 
 addition of rennet essence, at a tempera- 
 ture of 30 to 40 degs. C. ; collect the 
 coagulum and wash with running water 
 or otherwise until the washings are no 
 longer acid; dry carefully and powder.

 Melt the plaster by applying a gentle

 oughly; then allow the mixture to cool, 
 add the oil of lavender flowers, and stir 
 the ointment until it congeals. — U. S. P. 
 
 The U. S. P. directs this ointment to 
 be prepared as needed. 
 
 This ointment is readily decomposed 
 in making it unless great care be exer- 
 cised to apply only a gentle heat ; and it 
 is liable to spoil within a few days after 
 making it. If even only slightly rancid, 
 it will be unfit for use. If a soft grade 
 of petrolatum be substituted for the 
 olive oil in the above, the product will 
 keep quite well and will be equally effi 
 cient. 
 
 II. When made according to the U. 
 S. P. 1880, this ointment was more 
 nearly like the preparation used by Prof. 
 Hebra of Vienna. The U. S. P._ 1880 
 formula was 60 parts of lead plaster, 39 
 of olive oil, and 1 of oil of lavender 
 flowers, corresponding to 1 av.ounce of 
 lead plaster, s l A fluidrams of olive oil, 
 and 10 drops of oil of lavender flowers.

 Olive oil, each. .equal parts by weight 
 
 Melt together at a gentle heat, and

 After standing for several hours, again 
 thoroughly stir the mixture. — Germ.

 This is the preparation recognized by 
 the Germ. Pharm. under the name di- 
 achylon ointment. Lead ointment, Germ. 
 Pharm., is a different preparation; see 
 Ointment, Lead. 
 
 IV. Hebra's original directions are 
 the following: 
 
 Litharge av.oz. 4 
 
 Water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Olive oil av.oz. 20 
 
 Oil of lavender flowers fi.dr. 2 
 
 Mix the litharge with the water in a 
 capacious vessel, add the olive oil, and 
 heat over a naked flame, stirring con- 
 stantly, until the reddish color has com- 
 pletely disappeared, from time to time 
 adding a small amount of water to re- 
 place that lost by evaporation. Then 
 heat the mixture on a water bath to 
 evaporate the superfluous water. When 
 the ointment no longer foams or effer- 
 vesces, wash it repeatedly with warm 
 water until the washings no longer have 
 a sweet taste. Then beat the ointment 
 so as to dissipate, as much as possible, 
 the retained water. Finally incorporate 
 the lavender oil. — D. 
 
 Preserve the ointment in not too 
 large wide-mouthed bottles, in a cool 
 place protected from daylight. 
 
 If quite free from water this ointment 
 is said to keep tolerably well.

 Triturate the oleate in a warm mor-

 of a pipette and when the globules are 
 divided and distributed, set it aside for 
 about 15 minutes. Melt the lard and 
 suet, allow the mixture to cool partially, 
 add about y 2 av. ounce of it to the mer- 
 curial mixture, and continue the tritura- 
 tion until globules of mercury are no 
 longer visible under a lens magnifying 
 10 diameters. Then add the remainder 
 of the lard and suet and mix thoroughly. 
 
 The product is to be assayed and 100 
 parts of ointment should yield not less 
 than 49 parts of mercury.— U. S. P. 
 
 The above is an excellent process for 
 the extinction of the mercury. A sub- 
 stance which is superior to mercury 
 oleate as an extinguisher of mercury 
 is hydrous wool fat; see formula No.

 The U. S. P. mercurial ointment con- 
 tains one-half mercury, that of many of 
 the other pharmacopeias only one-third 
 mercury. The above may be made into 
 one-third preparation by using corres- 
 
 pondingly less mercury, e. g., 4 av. 
 ounces each of mercury, lard and suet 
 and 72 grains of oleate of mercury.

 Heat the lard, in a glass or porcelain 
 vessel, to a temperature of 105 deg. C. ; 
 then withdraw the heat, gradually add 
 1 av. ounce of nitric acid, and, when the 
 reaction moderates, reapply the heat, un- 
 til effervescence ceases. Then allow the 
 mixture to cool to about 40 deg. C. In 
 the meantime dissolve the mercury in 
 the remainder of the acid with the aid 
 of sufficient heat to prevent the solution 
 from crystallizing and add this solution 
 to the lard mixture. When the mass 
 begins to congeal, stir it thoroughly 
 with a wooden spatula until it is of a 
 bright citrine color. Avoid contact with 
 metallic utensils. — U. S. P. 
 
 The nitric acid should be of the 
 strength of the U. S. P., viz., 68 p. c. of 
 absolute acid; the lard should be real 
 hog's lard, not a composition. 
 
 This formula is an excellent one, al- 
 though other fatty bodies such as lard 
 oil, cod liver oil, neatsfoot oil, etc., 
 have been suggested in place of the 
 lard. The U. S. P. 1890 used lard oil. 
 The main point to secure a good prod- 
 uct is not to allow the temperature to 
 exceed that specified. England has 
 made the excellent suggestion to use 
 470 grains of red mercuric oxid instead 
 of the mercury (being purer and more 
 easily weighed), dissolving this in the 
 acid, adding gradually to the mixture 
 of lard and acid at a temperature of 
 60 deg. C. (instead of 40), stirring till 
 cool, and adding Y av. ounce of glyc- 
 erin (to prevent ultimate friableness).

 Dissolve the mercury in the acid with- 
 out the aid of heat, agitating gently 
 from time to time. Heat the lard and 
 oil together on a sand bath, so that the 
 mixture when transferred to a heated 
 earthenware jar, capable of holding ten 
 times the quantity, shall be at a tempera- 
 ture of about 145 deg. C. Add the cold 
 mercurial solution very gradually, stir- 
 ring constantly to promote disengage- 
 ment of the fumes. After frothing has 
 ceased, the mixture, which should have 
 a temperature of not less than 90 deg. 
 C, must be kept stirred until cold. 
 
 The product should be firm in consist- 
 ence and have a pale lemon color. — 
 Brit. Pharm. 
 
 Judged from the American standpoint, 
 this formula is faulty in not having a 
 portion of the acid added to the lard 
 and oil before adding the mercurial solu- 
 tion, in excessive acidity of the product, 
 and in directing an excessive tempera- 
 ture.

 Ointment, Paraffin. 
 
 Several pharmacopeias (but not the 
 U. S. P.) now recognize what is termed 
 
 paraffin ointment which is used as an 
 ointment vehicle instead of simple oint- 
 ment when a non-absorbent vehicle is 
 desired or required. This preparation 
 is a mixture of a hard with a soft or 
 liquid paraffin. Hard paraffin (usually 
 called simply paraffin, also paraffin wax) 
 does not make a smooth mixture with 
 soft paraffin (petrolatum), and hence 
 paraffin ointment is liable to lack homo- 
 geneity. Ceresin or beeswax would 
 make a smoother mixture than hard 
 paraffin.

 Petrolatum parts 7 
 
 Melt together in a shallow evaporat- 
 ing dish; as the liquid cools, triturate

 When the paraffin ointment is used 
 as the vehicle for white substances, such 
 as zinc oxid, lead carbonate, etc., it 
 should be prepared with the white vari- 
 ety of petrolatum; when used in col- 
 ored ointments it should be prepared 
 with the yellow variety of petrolatum. 
 
 The proportions of paraffin and pe- 
 trolatum in this ointment may be varied 
 to meet the exigencies of climate and 
 prevailing temperature.

 Objection has repeatedly been made 
 to the presence of borax in this oint- 
 ment as this chemical reacts with many 
 substances with which cold cream is 
 frequently combined. Borax is of ad- 
 vantage only to assist in combining the 
 rose water with the fats. The U. S. P. 
 1880 directed no borax ; neither does the

 Oleates. (Oleata.) 
 
 While the oleates themselves are true 
 chemical compounds the preparations 
 known as oleates and recognized by the 
 U. S. P. and N. F. are mixtures of 
 these oleates with excess of oleic acid. 
 These oleates may be divided into two 
 classes, metallic and alkaloidal, the for- 
 mer being prepared by solution of a 
 metallic oxid, the latter by solution of 
 an alkaloid, in pure oleic acid. 
 
 The method of preparation of these 
 oleates is to triturate the alkaloid or 
 oxid, preferably sifting the latter first 
 through a fine sieve, with the acid in a 
 mortar to a smooth paste, then stirring 
 until combination or solution is effected. 
 Sometimes application of heat is recom- 
 mended but this is not advisable and if 
 used at all should not exceed 40 deg. C. 
 Triturating the alkaloid with the acid 
 in a warmed mortar is to be recom- 
 mended. 
 
 The oleic acid for these preparations 
 should be the purest obtainable. It is 
 difficult to free this acid entirely from 
 stearic and palmitic acids, but a very 
 good article is now commercially avail- 
 able. The presence of these foreign 
 acids makes a decided difference in the 
 consistence of the oleate produced. 
 
 These oleates are used in different 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 277 
 
 strengths indicating the percentage by 
 weight of metallic oxid or of alkaloid 
 present in the finished product. Any 
 oleate can be reduced to a weaker oleate 
 b) r adding the proportionate amount of 
 oleic acid or of fatty vehicle, if latter 
 be preferred. The oleates intended to 
 be used for the physiological or systemic 
 effects of the base, as quinine, morphine 
 and mercuric oleates, should be diluted 
 with oleic acid, or with purified wool 
 fat; the oleates intended for surface 
 medication should be diluted with lard 
 or petrolatum. 
 
 These oleates are unstable prepara- 
 tions, becoming rancid quite readily. 
 The weaker the preparation, the more 
 readily it undergoes change ; and when 
 made by the application of warmth the 
 decomposition is facilitated. It there- 
 fore follows that the precipitated or 
 normal oleates keep the best, and that 
 it is advisable to have these on hand 
 and to dilute them, as required, to the 
 desired strength. The dilution should 
 be with oleic acid, lard, etc., as de- 
 scribed above for dilution of oleates. 
 
 The normal oleates are prepared 
 adding an aqueous solution of a salt of 
 the base to a solution of sodium or 
 potassium oleate, collecting the precipi- 
 tate, washing out the alkaline salt with 
 warm or hot water (for mercuric oleate 
 use only warm water), and then freeing 
 from excess of water. 
 
 The commercial nomenclature of the 
 normal oleates of metallic bases is pe- 
 culiar. For example, normal mercuric 
 oleate is* said to be 28.3 per cent, 
 strength, maining 28.3 per cent, of oxid. 
 But of course it contains no free oxid of 
 mercury. What is meant is that if 28.3 
 parts by weight of mercuric oxid be 
 converted into a soluble mercuric salt 
 and then be precipitated with sodium or 
 potassium oleate solution, the collected, 
 washed and dried mercury oleate should 
 weigh 100 parts. In the case of the 
 alkaloidal oleates, the percentage given 
 indicates the pronortion of base present 
 in the compound. 
 
 The preparations known as ointments 
 of oleates are oleates reduced with lard, 
 petrolatum, paraffin ointment, simple 
 ointment, wool fat, etc. The various 
 ointments of alkaloids (aconitine, atro- 
 pine, cocaine, veratrine) of the Brit. 
 Pharm. are now prepared by dissolving 
 the alkaloid in oleic acid and then add- 
 ing lard, and hence these are examples 
 of ointments of oleates. See also Oint- 
 ment of Zinc Oleate (Brit. Pharm.) 
 which is a mixture of equal parts of 
 precipitated zinc oleate and petrolatum, 
 and Ointment, Mercuric Oleate (Brit. 
 Pharm.), a mixture of 1 part of pre- 
 cipitated mercuric oleate and 3 parts of 
 lard.

 corporate the remainder of the acid, and 
 stir the mixture frequently until the 
 alkaloid is dissolved. 
 
 The market affords a variety of aconi- 
 tines made by different processes, by 
 different manufacturers, and of greatly 
 different potency. Only the pure crys- 
 tallized or crystallizable alkaloid, having 
 all the characters demanded by the U. 
 S. P. should be used.— N. F.

 be used.

 Triturate the oxid with the water in

 and mix thoroughly, warm the mortar 
 to a temperature not exceeding 50 deg. 
 C, stir occasionally till the water has 
 evaporated, then add, if necessary, oleic 
 acid to make 4 av. ounces and mix thor- 
 oughly.— U. S. P. 
 
 Avoid contact with metallic vessels. 
 
 Keep the oleate in tightly stoppered 
 bottles. 
 
 This oleate will be more or less dense 
 according to the purity of the oleic acid; 
 the purer it is, that is the freer it is 
 from palmitic and stearic acids, the 
 thinner it is. Of course only the very 
 purest obtainable oleic acid should be 
 employed. While the U. S. P. directs 
 the application of warmth to facilitate 
 solution and combination of the oxid, 
 this is not necessary nor is it advisable. 
 Combination can be effected by mixing 
 the oxid and acid in a mortar, and stir- 
 ring occasionally, being careful to break 
 down any lumps of oxid which may 
 have formed. The cold process requires 
 more time than the warm but the for- 
 mer yields a product which keeps longer. 
 
 The preparation of the U. S. P. is 
 what is denominated as a "25 per cent, 
 oleate of mercury," as it contains 25 
 per cent, by weight of mercuric oxid. 
 
 The preparation of the U. S. P. 1880 
 was a 10 per cent, oleate and this is the 
 strength intended, as a rule, by physi- 
 cians when none is specified. The U 
 S. P. 1890 had a 20 per cent, prepara- 
 tion. Other strengths, such a 5 per 
 cent, or 15 per cent, may be made by 
 diluting the 20 or 25 per cent, prepara- 
 tion with oleic acid. There is also on 
 the market what is known as "precipi- 
 tated or normal oleate of mercury," 
 which is stated to represent 28.3 per 
 cent, of mercuric oxid. While the other 
 oleates of mercury consist actually of 
 mercuric oleate dissolved in an excess 
 of oleic acid, the normal oleate is the 
 true oleate without the excess of oleic 
 acid. This normal oleate can be pre- 
 pared only by precipitation as follows : 
 
 Yellow mercuric oxid. . . ._. . .gr. 175 
 
 Nitric acid, U. S. P gr. 150 
 
 Solution of sodium oleate. fl.oz. 16 
 Distilled water sufficient 
 
 To the oxid contained in a small 
 evaporating dish add the nitric acid, 
 then 2 fluidounces of distilled water, and 
 heat until the oxid is dissolved, adding, 
 if necessary, to complete solution, a few 
 more drops of acid, but as little as pos- 
 sible for the purpose. Dilute this with 
 2 pints of distilled water, add this to the 
 sodium oleate solution, stirring con- 
 stantly. Collect the precipitate and 
 wash several times with luke warm dis- 
 tilled water to remove the sodium 
 nitrate. 
 
 If solution of potassium oleate be 
 used instead of solution of sodium 
 oleate, 150 grains of mercuric oxid and 
 130 grains of nitric acid must be used 
 for 1 pint of the solution. 
 
 The normal oleate of mercury may be 
 diluted to weaker strengths by adding 
 to 100 grains the following amounts of 
 oleic acid (Edel's table) : 
 To make 5 p. c. oleate add 466 gr. oleic 
 
 acid. 
 To make 6 p. c. oleate add 371 gr. oleic

 of the acid to a smoth paste, then add 
 the remainder of the acid, previously 
 warmed, and stir frequently until the 
 quinine is dissolved. — N. F. 
 
 The above makes a preparation con- 
 taining 25 per cent, of alkaloid; prepara- 
 tions containing 10 per cent, and 5 per 
 cent, of alkaloid are also common. 
 
 A 10 per cent, preparation may- be 
 made by dissolving 184' gr. of alkaloid 
 in 4 fluidounces of acid, or y 2 av. ounce 
 of alkaloid in 4^ av. ounces of acid. 
 
 A 5 per cent, preparation may be 
 made by dissolving 86 gr. of alkaloid in 
 4 fluidounces of acid. 
 
 In the N. F. (2nd edition), which 
 recognized this preparation, it was di- 
 rected that the quinine be first dried at 
 100 deg. C. until it ceases to lose weight. 
 
 When the quinine (alkaloid) is not 
 available, it may be prepared as follows : 
 Take 340 grains of official quinine sul- 
 fate, dissolve it in 32 fluidounces of 
 water with the aid of a sufficient quan- 
 tity of diluted sulfuric acid, then pre- 
 cipitate the quinine by means of am- 
 monia water, added, under constant stir- 
 ring, until it is in slight excess. Trans- 
 fer the magma to a close muslin strainer, 
 previously wetted, allow the liquid to 
 drain off, and wash the precipitate with 
 ice cold water, until the washings are 
 practically tasteless, but using not more 
 than about 1 quart of water. Lastly, 
 dry the precipitate. 
 
 The theoretical quantity of dry qui- 
 nine obtainable from 340 grains of the 
 sulfate is 253 grains. In practice, ap- 
 proximately 250 grains will be obtained.

 Put the oleic acid into a capacious 
 porcelain capsule, gradually add to it 
 the oxid by sifting it through a fine 
 sieve upon the surface of the acid, and 
 incorporate it by vigorous stirring. Set 
 the mixture aside for a few hours, and 
 then heat it on a water bath, frequently 
 stirring, until the oxid is dissolved. — 
 U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 This preparation contains 5 per cent, 
 of zinc oxid and is of ointment consist- 
 ency.

 Water sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the zinc acetate in 84 fluid- 
 ounces of cold water, filter the solution, 
 if necessary, through a pellet of absor- 
 bent cotton placed in the neck of a 
 funnel, and then mix it slowly, and 
 under constant stirring, with the solu- 
 tion of sodium oleate. Transfer the 
 mixture to a wetted muslin strainer, 
 and when the liquid has drained off, 
 wash the precipitate with water, until the 
 washings are practically tasteless. Last- 
 ly, dry the precipitate, spread on paper. 
 
 by exposure to dust-free air, without 
 heat. 
 
 The product contains an amount ol 
 zinc corresponding to about 13 per cent, 
 of zinc oxid. 
 
 The theoretical yield of zinc oleate 
 obtainable from 1 av. ounce of zinc ace- 
 tate is 2^2 av. ounces ; in practice, about 
 2*4 av. ounces will be obtained. Zinc 
 oleate, prepared by the above process, is 
 in the form of a soft, white powder, 
 and may be converted into a plaster or 
 ointment by mixing it with such a pro- 
 portion of oleic acid as may be re- 
 quired. See also Ointment, Zinc Oleate.

 fluidounces of boiling distilled water, 
 filter the solution, if necessary, and pour 
 it, in a thin stream, into the hot alco- 
 holic solution first obtained, with con- 
 stant stirring. Then stir the mixture 
 occasionally until cool, transfer it to a 
 muslin strainer, allow the precipitate to 
 drain, wash it thoroughly on the strainer 
 with distilled water, and dry it in a 
 moderately warm place. When dry. 
 sift it through a very fine sieve. 
 
 This is similar to Stearate of Zinc,

 Oleoresins (Ethereal Extracts.) 
 
 These preparations which may be de- 
 scribed as acetone extracts consisting 
 mainly of oil and resin. Comparatively 
 few drugs are of a character suitable 
 for making these preparations. The 
 general process of the U. S. P. is as 
 follow? : Take any suitable qnantity of 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS.

 drug, usually about i av. pound, in about 
 No. 40 powder, put it into a cylindrical 
 glass percolator provided with a stop- 
 cock and arranged with a cover and re- 
 ceptacle suitable for volatile liquids, 
 pack the drug firmly, and percolate 
 slowly with acetone (which should be 
 99 per cent, pure), added in successive 
 portions, until the drug is exhausted. 
 Recover the greater part of the acetone 
 from the percolate by distillation on a 
 water bath, and having transferred what 
 remains to a suitable dish, allow the 
 remaining acetone to evaporate spontan- 
 eously in a warm place. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1890, the drug was 
 extracted with stronger ether. This 
 was Changed in the present pharma- 
 copoeia to acetone (except for cubeb, 
 when alcohol is used) which is a liquid 
 of great solvent power and is exceed- 
 ingly volatile. Its solvent powers are 
 similar to those of both alcohol and 
 ether. 
 
 All oleoresins should be preserved in 
 well-stoppered bottles. 
 
 The oleoresins of the market are in- 
 clined to be of somewhat uncertain 
 character. Some are said to be with 
 alcohol, wood spirit, benzin, ligroin, or 
 other menstruum; or, if ether be used, 
 this may be imperfectly evaporated. 
 
 The oleoresins were formerly classed 
 with the fluid extracts. They are now 
 still frequently known as "ethereal ex- 
 tracts," although of course this name is 
 now inappropriate. 
 
 Oleoresin of Capsicum. (Ethereal Ex- 
 tract of Capsicum.) 
 
 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Oleoresins). After all the ace- 
 tone has evaporated, pour off the liquid 
 portion, transfer the remainder to a 
 glass funnel provided with a pledget of 
 cotton and when the separated fatty 
 matter (which is to be rejected) has 
 been completely drained, mix the liquid 
 portions together.— U. S. P. 
 
 Keep the product in a well-stoppered 
 bottle. 
 
 Oleoresin of Cubeb. (Ethereal Ex- 
 tract of Cubeb — Extractum Cu- 
 bebarum — Extract of Cubeb.) 
 
 I. 
 
 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Oleoresins), but using the drug 
 in No. 30 powder, and using alcohol as 
 the menstruum instead of acetone. 
 
 Keep the product in well-stoppered 
 bottles.— U. S. P. 
 
 This preparation deposits, after stand- 
 ing for some time, a waxy and crystal- 
 line matter, which should be rejected, 
 only the liquid portion being used. 
 
 II. The corresponding preparation of 
 the Germ. Pharm. called extract of 
 cubeb is prepared as follows: 
 
 Cubeb, coarse powder av.oz. 20 
 
 Stronger ether fl.oz. 65 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 55 
 
 Macerate the drug with a mixture of 
 39 fluidounces of the ether and 33 of 
 alcohol for 3 days at a temperature of 
 15 to 20 deg. G, agitate occasionally, 
 and express. Macerate the marc with 
 the remainder of the ether and alcohol 
 as before and again express. Mix the 
 two liquids, filter, and evaporate the 
 filtrate on a water bath to a thin extract. 
 
 The yield is about 17 or 18 per cent. 
 
 Oleoresin of Ginger. (Ethereal Ex- 
 tract of Ginger — Piperoid.) 
 
 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Oleoresins), but using the drug 
 in No. 60 powder. 
 
 Keep the product in a well-stoppered 
 bottle.— U. S. P. 
 
 Oleoresin of Lupulin. (Ethereal Ex- 
 tract of Lupulin.) 
 
 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Oleoresins), but using the drug 
 without further grinding, and, owing to 
 the large proportion of extractive in 
 the drug, it should be packed dry and 
 yery lightly in the percolator. — N. F.

 I. U. S. P.: 
 
 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Oleoresins), from drug which 
 has recently been reduced to No. 40 
 powder. Keep the product in well-stop- 
 pered bottles. 
 
 This oleoresin usually deposits, on 
 standing, a granular, crystalline precipi- 
 tate, consisting of filicic acid, which 
 should be thoroughly mixed with the 
 liquid portion before use. 
 
 II. The corresponding preparation of 
 the Brit. Pharm., called liquid extract 
 of male fern, is directed to be prepared 
 by exhausting male fern, in No. 20 pow- 
 der, with stronger ether, by percolation, 
 evaporating the ether from the clear 
 percolate on a water bath or by distilla- 
 tion, until an oily extract remains. 
 
 III. The corresponding preparation 
 of the Germ. Pharm., called extractum 
 filicis, is prepared as follows: 
 
 Male fern, coarse powder. av.oz. 20 
 
 Stronger ether fl.oz. 135 
 
 Macerate the drug with 81 fluidounces 
 of the ether for 3 days, at a tempera- 
 ture of 15 to 20 deg. C, agitating occa- 
 sionally, decant the clear liquid, macer- 
 ate the marc with the remainder of the 
 ether for 3 days as before, express, mix 
 the two liquids, filter, and evaporate the 
 filtrate on a water bath to a thin extract 
 free from the odor of ether. 
 
 Oleoresin of Pepper. (Oleoresin of 
 Black Pepper — Ethereal Extract 
 of Pepper— "Oil of Black Pep- 
 per.") 
 
 Prepare according to the general proc- 
 ess (see Oleoresins). The spontaneous 
 evaporation of acetone is to be continued 
 until all of it has evaporated, and until 
 the deposition of crystals of piperin has 
 ceased; then the olearesin is to be sepa- 
 rated from the crystals by straining 
 
 through purified (absorbent) cotton.— 
 U. S. P. 
 
 Keep the product in a well-stoppered 
 bottle. 
 
 The commercial article known as "oil 
 of black pepper" is similar to the above ; 
 it is said to be a by-product in the 
 manufacture of piperin.

 Opium.) 
 
 Opium, powdered, contain- 
 ing 10 to \oy 2 p. c. of 
 amorphous morphine, any 
 desired quantity. 
 
 Purified petroleum benzin. .sufficient 
 
 Macerate the opium for 24 hours in a 
 wide-mouthed, well-closed bottle with 
 enough of benzin to cover it, shaking 
 occasionally. Decant the liquid as 
 closely as possible and repeat the treat- 
 ment with benzin. Again decant the 
 liquid and pour the contents of the 
 bottle into a plain filter contained in a 
 glass funnel which should be well cov- 
 ered; drain, and then percolate the resi- 
 due slowly with benzin until the latter 
 passes without color. Remove the filter 
 cointaining the opium from the funnel 
 and expose the powder to the open air 
 that it may dry thoroughly. — U. S. P. 
 
 Opium in coarser powder may be de- 
 odorized in the same manner. 
 
 Deodorized opium should be kept in 
 well-stoppered bottles and should con- 
 tain not less than 10 nor more than 10j£ 
 per cent of anhydrous morphine. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1890, the opium was 
 deodorized with stronger ether. 
 Opium, Granulated. 
 
 Opium dried at a temperature not ex- 
 ceeding 85 deg. C. and reduced to coarse 
 (No. 20) powder. 
 
 It should yield when assayed not less 
 than 10 nor more than 10^4 per cent of 
 anhydrous morphine. Granuated opi- 
 um of a higher percentage may be 
 brought within these limits by admix- 
 ture with a granulated opium of a lower 
 percentage in proper proportions. — U.

 Opium, dried at a temperature not 
 exceeding 85 deg. C. and reduced to a 
 very fine (No. 80) powder. 
 
 Powdered opium, for pharmaceutical 
 ©r medicinal purposes, should yield not 
 less than 10 nor more than 10^ per 
 cent of anhydrous morphine. Any pow- 
 dered opium of a higher percentage 
 morphine strength may be brought with-

 mix well, let stand well covered for 3 
 or 4' days, then decant the clear solu- 
 tion, filter the remainder, and having 
 mixed the liquids and distilled off the 
 alcohol, evaporate the remainder to a 
 pilular consistence. 
 
 A powder may be obtained by evap- 
 orating to dryness and powdering the 
 residue. 
 
 II. The inspissated of the U. S. P. 
 1880, not recognized bv the present U. 
 S. P., was to be made by heating 20 
 av.ounces of ox-gall to a temperature 
 not exceeding 80 deg. C, straining 
 through muslin, and evaporating the 
 colature on a water bath, in a porcelain 
 capsule, to 3 av.ounces.

 be well corked. — N. F. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. 1885 directed that 
 the mixture be evaporated until the 
 product, when cold, shall have a specific 
 gravity of 1.32. 
 
 The Germ.. Pharm. directs a mixture 
 of 1 part by weight of vinegar of squill 
 to be mixed with 2 parts clarified honey, 
 evaporated on a water bath to 2 parts, 
 and strained. 
 
 II. The Brit. Pharm. 1898 has an im-

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 Papers. (Chartse.) 
 
 Papers of the U. S. P. consist of 
 paper either saturated with or coated 
 with some substance. They are used by 
 ignition or by application. The U. S. P. 
 also recognizes some test-papers, which 
 are mentioned here.

 Mix all the substances in a tinned 
 vessel, and boil gently for 2 hours, con- 
 stantly stirring. Strain through a wool- 
 en strainer without expressing, and, by 
 means of a water bath, keep the mixture 
 in a shallow, flat-bottomed vessel with 
 an extended surface. Coat strips of 
 sized paper with the melted plaster, on 
 one side only, by passing them success- 
 ively over the surface of the liquid ; 
 when dry, cut the strips into rectangular 
 pieces.— U. S. P. 188Q. 
 
 Paper, Litmus. 
 
 Blue. — Impregnate strips of white, un- 
 sized paper, free from wood pulp, but 
 not too porous, with litmus test solu- 
 tion (see Solution, Litmus), and dry the 
 strips by suspending them on strings of 
 clean twine in an atmosphere free from 
 acid or ammoniacal vapors. — U. S. P. 
 
 Red. — Add to the test solution of lit- 
 mus used to impregnate the paper just 
 sufficient of a highly diluted solution 
 of hydrochloric acid to impart to it a 
 faint red tint. Then with this solution 
 
 prepare the paper the same as the blue. 
 -U. S. P. 
 
 Neither red nor blue litmus paper 
 should have a very intense color. 
 
 Preserve in bottles so as to exclude 
 dust and acid or ammoniacal vapors. 
 Paper, Mustard. 
 
 I. 
 
 Mustard, black, No. 6© powd.av.oz. 1 
 
 India-rubber gr. 45 
 
 Benzin, carbon disulfid, 
 each sufficient 
 
 Pack the mustard in a conical perco- 
 lator, and gradually pour benzin upon 
 it until the percolate ceases to produce 
 a permanent, greasy stain upon blotting 
 paper. Remove the powder and dry it 
 by exposure to the air. Having mean- 
 while dissolved the rubber in a mixture 
 of 1 fluidounce each of benzin and car- 
 bon disulfid, mix the purified mustard 
 with enough of this mixture to produce 
 a semi-liquid magma and apply this by ■ 
 means of a suitable brush to one side of 
 a piece of rather stiff, well-sized paper, 
 so as to cover it completely, and then 
 allow the surface to dry. — U. S. P. 
 
 The percolation of the mustard with 
 benzin is for the purpose of removing 
 the fixed oil present in the former. 
 
 A surface of 9 square inches should 
 contain about 60 grains of mustard. 
 
 Before the paper is applied to the 
 skin, it should be dipped in warm (not 
 hot) water for about 15 seconds. 
 
 II. 
 
 Black and white mustard 
 seeds equal parts by weight 
 
 Benzol, solution of India 
 
 rubber, each sufficient 
 
 Bruise the seeds and extract the fixed 
 oil by percolation with benzol. Dry the 
 residue by exposure to the air in a 
 warm closet and reduce to No. 60 pow- 
 der. Mix 80 grains of the purified mus- 
 tard with 5 fluidrams of the rubber so- 
 lution and spread by means of a suitable 
 brush over about 30 square inches of 
 one side of a piece of a cartridge paper. 
 Allow to dry by exposure to the air.

 III. The Germ. Pharm. recognizes 
 this preparation, but gives no process for 
 it, merely describing it as paper covered 
 with finely powdered mustard freed from 
 oil. 
 Paper, Phenolphthalein. 
 
 This is prepared by impregnating 
 white, unsized paper with the test-solu- 
 tion and drying it. 
 
 Paper, Potassium Nitrate. (Charta 
 Nitrata — Asthma Paper.) 
 
 Potassium nitrate av.oz. I 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 4 
 
 Dissolve the salt in the water, im- 
 merse strips of white, unsized paper 
 (such as filter or blotting paper) in the 
 solution, and dry them. — N. F. and U. S. 
 P. 1890. 
 
 Keep the paper in well-closed vessels. 
 
 This is used as a relief for asthma, 
 the paper being ignited and the fumes 
 thereof inhaled. 
 
 The directions of the Germ. Pharm. 
 are practically the same; it directs 1 
 part by weight of potassium nitrate and 
 5 of water. 
 
 See also Paper, Asthma. 
 Paper, Turmeric. 
 
 Impregnate white, unsized paper with 
 tincture of turmeric, and dry it. — U. S. 
 P. 
 
 This is a test paper which turns brown 
 with alkalies, the yellow color being re- 
 stored by acids. Boric acid, however, 
 even in the presence of hydrochloric 
 acid, turns the color to reddish brown, 
 and this is changed to bluish-black by 
 ammonia. 
 Paraffins. 
 
 The paraffins are the residues of pe- 
 troleum after the distillation of naphtha, 
 kerosene, etc, These paraffins vary in 
 consistence and melting point from the 
 
 liquid form to the hard, wax-like form, 
 intermediate forms being of a soft-solid 
 consistency. These different forms ap- 
 pear in the market in various degrees 
 of purity, partially purified ones appear- 
 ing more or less dark yellowish, the 
 purest forms being white or colorless, 
 and nearly odorless and tasteless. The 
 pure forms only are recognized by the 
 pharmacopeia. 
 
 The liquid form, known as paraffin 
 oil, petrolatum oil, or liquid petrolatum 
 is recognized bv the German, British, 
 French, Norwegian and Danish phar- 
 macopeias and the U. S. P. The U. S. 
 P. requires a sp. gr. of 0.870 to 0.940 
 at 25 deg. C, the Germ. Pharm. not 
 less than 0.880 at 15 deg. C., the Norw. 
 and Dan. Pharms. 0.895 to 0.905, the Brit. 
 Pharm. 0.885 to 0.890, and the Codex 
 0.800 to 0.820. 
 
 The white, wax-like form, called par- 
 affin wax or hard or solid paraffin, or 
 usually simplv paraffin (this term is 
 used in this work) appears in the mar- 
 ket of different melting degrees, viz., 
 116, 120, 125, 130 and 136 deg. F. (47! 
 49, 52, 55 and 58 deg. C). The Dan. 
 and Norw. Pharms. do not recognize it 
 at all; the U. S. P. requires a melting 
 point of 125 to 135 deg. F. (51.6 to 57.2 
 deg. C.), the Brit. Pharm. 130 to 135 
 deg. F. (54.4 to 57 deg. C), the Germ. 
 Pharm. 165 to 176 deg. F. (74 to 80 deg. 
 C.), and the Codex mentions 44 to 65 
 deg. C. 
 
 The intermediate form, the so-called 
 petrolatum, soft paraffin or petroleum 
 ointment appears in the market in white 
 and yellow and darker forms, and of 
 varying soft or semi-solid consistence. 
 In this country the light yellow variety, 
 the so-called amber, is commonly em- 
 ployed, unless otherwise specified. The 
 U. S. P. recognizes two kinds, a yellow 
 and a white, the former being called 
 "petrolatum," the latter "white petrola- 
 tum." They should melt at a tempera- 
 ture between 113 and 118 deg. F. (4.

 fies a melting point of 96 to 102 deg. 
 F. (35.5 to 39 deg. C), or even some- 
 what higher, the Codex a melting point 
 of 104- deg. F. (40 deg. C), the Norw. 
 Pharm. the same, and the Danish 
 Pharm. a melting point of 95 deg. F. 
 (35 deg. C). 
 
 The dark yellow or brownish forms 
 of petrolatum will suffice for veterinary 
 purposes. 
 
 Instead of petrolatum, the Germ. 
 Pharm. recognizes a mixture of paraffin 
 wax and liquid paraffin (see Ointment, 
 Paraffin) which melts between 104 and 
 122 deg. C. (ao to 50 deg. C). 
 
 The paraffin ointment of the Brit. 
 Pharm. is a mixture of petrolatum and 
 paraffin wax. It melts at about the 
 same temperature as that of the Germ. 
 Pharm. is a mixture of petrolatum and 
 when used as the vehicle of white oint- 
 ments, it should be prepared with white 
 petrolatum; and when used in colored 
 ointments, it should be prepared with 
 yellow petrolatum.

 are also used under the name Can- 
 quoin's Paste, different strengths being 
 used. The zinc chlorid is to be reduced 
 to very fine powder, incorporated with

 Paste, Currant. (Currant Jelly.) 
 
 Black-currant paste is used in the 
 London Throat Hospital, and now else- 
 where, as a vehicle, instead of gums, 
 etc., for throat lozenges of certain kinds 
 such as have been used under the direc- 
 tion of Sir Morrell Mackenzie. 
 
 The directions of the Hospital Phar- 
 macopeia for preparing it are as fol- 
 lows: Take 7 pounds of black currants 
 and 20 fluidounces of water, boil to- 
 gether, crushing the berries with a pes- 
 tle until the mixture is thoroughly 
 pulped, then pass through a sieve and 
 beat into a paste with 3 or 4 pounds of 
 powdered sugar. 
 
 Red-currant paste may be made in the 
 same manner from red currants. 
 
 Another formula, probably a better 
 one, is the following: 
 
 Take fully ripe currants, either red 
 or black, whichever may be wanted ; put 
 them into a suitable dish, bruise them 
 and place them on the fire, stirring con- 
 stantly with a wooden spatula until they 
 become scalding hot, carefully avoiding 
 scorching. When reduced to a pulp, 
 remove from the fire, and strain and 
 express all the juice with a thick flannel 
 cloth or a crash towel. Measure the 
 juice into a clean and bright copper 
 basin, or, still better, a porcelain-lined 
 basin; place upon the fire and boil for 
 10 or 15 minutes in order to evaporate 
 some of the water; remove the scum, 
 and add 1 pound of sugar for each pint 
 of juice. Stir constantly with a wooden 
 spatula until the sugar is dissolved; 
 then remove the scum and immediately 
 fill the jelly glasses, or other suitable 
 vessels. 
 Pastes, Dermatologic. 
 
 Dermatologic pastes are medicaments 
 for external use, suggested by the prac- 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 287 
 
 tice of noted dermatologists (Lassar, 
 Unna and others). They are ointment- 
 like mixtures of starch, dextrin, zinc 
 oxid, sulfur or calcium carbonate made 
 into a paste with glycerin, soft (green) 
 soap, petrolatum, lard or other fat, med- 
 icated with antiseptic and astringent 
 agents. — N. F. 
 
 Eight of these preparations are men- 
 tioned by the N. F. 
 
 Dextrinated paste (see Paste, Dex-

 Pastilles, Glyco-Gelatin. 
 
 The London Throat Hospital uses a 
 
 form of troche called glyco-gelatin pas- 
 tilles. The vehicle for these is to be 
 prepared as follows: 
 
 Gelatin, pure av.oz. 1 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 2*4 
 
 Oramje flower water av.oz. 2^4 
 
 Solution of carmine, sufficient to 
 
 color as desired. 
 The gelatin is to be soaked in the 
 water for 2 hours, the mixture is to be 
 heated on the water bath until the gela- 
 tin is dissolved, the glycerin is to be 
 added, and finally the carmine solution. 
 The medication of the pastilles is ac- 
 complished by warming a sufficient 
 quantitv of the above glyco-gelatin on a 
 water bath, then incorporating the 
 medicament, previously rubbed to a 
 thick paste with glycerin if it be a solid, 
 stirring till somewhat cool, and making 
 into square or round or pastilles, pref- 
 erably the latter, which may be formed 
 in a suitable mold, which latter should 
 be slightly oiled before used. 
 
 The medicament, if it be a solid, must 
 be rubbed to an impalpable powder with 
 the glvcerin before incorporating with 
 the vehicle. Most of the medicaments 
 are in solid form and hence this method 
 of incorporation applies in most in- 
 stances. Sometimes the medicament may 
 or should be otherwise incorporated. 
 Carbolic acid may be dissolved in a 
 small amount of glycerin by the aid of 
 a gentle heat. Water-soluble substances 
 like ammonium chlorid may be tritura- 
 ted with glycerin or they may be dis- 
 solved in the water used to make the 
 glyco-gelatin vehicle. Substances like 
 menthol may be incorporated by dissolv- 
 ing in as small amount of alcohol and 
 adding this solution to the melted ve- 
 hicle. 
 
 Other flavors may be used in the 
 glyco-gelatin vehicle besides orange 
 flower water, such as rose or tolu water. 
 The carmine coloring may be omitted 
 if desired. 
 
 Most of the troches (see Troches) 
 may be made into glyco-gelatin pastilles 
 if desired.

 Pencils, Menthol. (Migraine Pen- 
 cils—Stilus Mentholi.) 
 
 These may be prepared by carefully 
 melting pure menthol and pouring into 
 tin molds having about the form of an 
 ordinary thimble, in which it is allowed 
 to crystallize at a low temperature, usu- 
 ally by placing in an ice chest or other 
 cold place for 12 hours. The menthol 
 cone is removed from the molds, at- 
 tached to a handle and preserved in a 
 convenient form for use. A good cone 
 should be made only of pure menthol, 
 as even so small a quantity as 2 per cent, 
 of thymol, which addition has been rec- 
 ommended, will render them greasy. 
 The cone may be attached to the holder 
 
 with some liquid glue or solution of glue 
 in hot water. 
 
 Pencils, Paste. (Medicated Pencils- 
 Stilus dilubilis— Pasten Stiften.) 
 
 These pencils are for the direct ap- 
 plication of medicinal agents to the skin, 
 suggested by Dr. Unna, and used in 
 modern dermatologic practice. The me- 
 dicinal agent is incorporated with a 
 paste consisting of starch, dextrin, trag- 
 acanth and sugar [all solids used should 
 be in very fine powder] with enough 
 distilled water to form a plastic mass. 
 This^ is rolled into cylinders of about 
 1/5 inch diameter which are cut into 
 sections 2 inches long, dried on parch- 
 ment paper at the room temperature and 
 wrapped in tin-foil.— N. F. 
 
 Pencils of cocaine and salicylic acid 
 are recognized by the N. F. Other 
 medications used are ichthyol, pyrogal-

 Pill Coating. 
 
 The N. F. has this to say about pills 
 and pill coating :— Pills, in their simplest 
 form, are prepared as required and dis- 
 pensed with enough dusting powder to 
 prevent them from adhering while still 
 moist; but if they are prepared for 
 stock, or if it is desirable to mask their 
 taste, or for other reasons, they may be 
 coated with some suitable substance that 
 will readily dissolve or disintegrate in 
 the juices of the stomach (sugar, gela- 
 tin, chocolate, tolu, silver). In some 
 cases, however, it is desirable to coat 
 the pills with a material which, while 
 insoluble in the acid contents of the 
 stomach (salol, keratin), dissolves read- 
 ily in the alkaline fluids of the intes- 
 tines. 
 I. Gelatin Coating: 
 
 The pills, freed from dusting powder 
 may be dipped in a 
 
 warm solution of 
 gelatin? th7 excess removed, and allowed 
 to dry. In extemporaneous pharmacy, 
 it may be convenient to roll the pills 
 into cylindrical shape and insert them 
 into gelatin capsules of suitable size, so 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS.

 as to completely fill them, observing that 
 here also the dusting powder is com- 
 pletely removed. 
 
 II. Sugar Coating: 
 
 The pills, freed from dusting powder, 
 may be quickly rolled on a filter paper 
 saturated with mucilage of acacia, until 
 uniformly but superficially moist, then 
 immediately transferred to a porcelain 
 capsule containing a mixture of 4 parts 
 of powdered milk sugar and 1 part of 
 powdered acacia, and rapidly rotated un- 
 til covered with a firm, white coating. 
 
 III. Cocoa Coating: 
 
 Moisten the pills with mucilage as in 
 the preceding, then immediately shake 
 with powdered cocoa until well coated, 
 transfer to a clean warmed porcelain 
 capsule, and rotate rapidly until a 
 smooth coating is produced. 
 
 IV. Tolu Coating: 
 
 The pills, freed from dusting powder, 
 may be dropped into the lid of a por- 
 celain ointment jar (or a porcelain cap- 
 sule) into which a thin layer of ethereal 
 tincture of tolu has previously been 
 placed and rotated until coated with the 
 tincture. They are then turned into an- 
 other lid (or capsule) of the same kind 
 and size and rotated for a few moments 
 to remove the excess of tincture, and 
 while the pills are still shining, but not 
 too -moist, they are transferred to and 
 rotated until dry in a third lid (or cap- 
 sule), previously coated with a very thin 
 layer of oil, which has been applied by 
 merely the tips of the fingers. A second 
 or third coating may be applied in the 
 same manner, if necessary. 
 
 V. Silver Coating: 
 The pills, preferably coated with tolu 
 
 (as described under IV), if moist, are 
 dropped into the lid of a porcelain oint- 
 ment jar, into which a very thin layer 
 of a mixture composed of equal parts of 
 alcohol, simnle syrup, mucilage of acacia 
 and water has been placed, and they are 
 rotated until they have acquired a thin 
 coat of this mixture. They are then 
 dropped into a one-pound ointment jar, 
 
 containing the requisite quantity of sil- 
 ver-foil (determined by experience), 
 and the jar is rapidly rotated until the 
 pills are thoroughly coated. This coat- 
 ing may be brightened by transferring 
 the pills to a second jar, containing a 
 few leaves of silver-foil and shaking for 
 some time until thoroughly polished. 
 
 VI. Keratin Coating: 
 
 The pills, which should not be massed 
 with an aqueous excipient, may be 
 dipped into melted cocoa butter, rolled 
 in finely powdered charcoal, then sprin- 
 kled with a suitable quantity of solution 
 of keratin, and rotated until dry. The 
 sprinkling and drying are repeated sev- 
 eral times until a sufficiently thick coat- 
 ing of keratin is obtained. 
 
 VII. Salol Coating: 
 
 The pills, carefully freed from dust- 
 ing powder, are dropped into a capsule 
 containing enough salol (approximately 
 1 gr. for every 3-gr. pill), previously 
 melted by the heat of a water bath and 
 allowed to cool so that by passing the 
 hand along the bottom of the dish there 
 is scarcely any warmth felt, and the 
 capsule is then rotated until the pills 
 are coated and the salol has congealed. 
 This process is repeated twice, each 
 time reducing the salol about one-half. 
 Finally a finishing coat is applied by 
 using only enough salol to coat the dish 
 when melted ; the dish being now kept 
 quite warm (almost hot), the pills ro- 
 tated quite rapidly until they are quite 
 shiny, then turned into a cool dish, and 
 the rotation continued until the pills 
 are quite cool.

 Pills, Creosote. 
 
 Creosote is very difficult to incorpo- 
 rate into pills unless wax is used, an 
 
 objectionable substance because not 
 readily disintegrated in the alimentary 
 canal. Various methods have been sug- 
 gested to "mass" creosote, but all more 
 or less satisfactory. The following 
 method works quite well. 
 Make a paste or jelly of 
 
 Gelatin P ar ts n 
 
 Sugar Parts 5 
 
 Water P af ts 24 
 
 Dissolve the gelatin and sugar in the 
 water by the aid of a gentle heat. 
 
 This mixture is to be kept on hand 
 and used for making creosote pills. One 
 grain of the jelly will mass one minim 
 of creosote. To make 20 one-minim 
 creosote pills, weigh 20 grains of the 
 jelly, put into a previously warmed 
 mortar so as to liquefy the paste, add 
 the creosote, mix well, and bring to 
 proper pill-mass consistence by adding 
 about 10 grains of powdered extract of 
 licorice and 20 of powdered licorice 
 root. These pills will be of about the 
 size of 2-grain quinine pills. Larger 
 amounts of creosote, of course, acquire 
 a larger proportion of the other sub- 
 stances. 
 
 The creosote pills of the Germ.

 Glycerin, water, each sufficient 
 
 Rub the potassium carbonate in a mor- 
 tar with a sufficient quantity (about 10 
 drops each) of glycerin and water, then 
 with the ferrous sulfate and sugar, pre- 
 viously rubbed together to a uniform 
 powder, and rub the mass thoroughly 
 until it assumes a greenish color. When 
 the reaction has terminated, incorpo- 
 rate the tragacanth and althea, and, if 
 
 necessary, add a little more water so as 
 to obtain a mass of pilular consistence. 
 Divide into 100 pills.— U. S. P. 
 
 These pills should be freshly pre- 
 pared when wanted. 
 
 Each pill contains about 1 grain of 
 ferrous carbonate. 
 
 These pills were recognized by the 
 N. F., 1st edition, but the proportions 
 were somewhat different; there was 
 somewhat more potassium carbonate, 
 somewhat less sugar, and no althea. 
 
 Sometimes so-called 3-grain Blaud's 
 pills (Pilulse Blaudii minores) are pre- 
 scribed or demanded. These may be 
 prepared by using the quantities given 
 in the above formula but dividing the 
 mass into 168 pills. 
 
 To obtain pills of ferrous carbonate, 
 the mass of iron carbonate or Vallet's 
 mass may be used if desired, although 
 exactly the same composition is not ob- 
 tained. 
 
 The commercial Bland's pills, regular 
 size or 5-grain, are always stated to be 
 made with 2 l / 2 grains each of ferrous 
 sulfate and potassium carbonate. The 
 U. S. P. pill is made with 2 l / 2 grains 
 of ferrous sulfate and just sufficient po- 
 tassium carbonate to convert this into 
 ferrous carbonate, so that the latter is 
 preferable. Similarly the commercial 
 3-grain pill is stated to be made with 
 i]/ 2 grains each of ferrous sulfate and 
 potassium carbonate, but the U. S. P. 
 mixture made into 168, instead of 100, 
 pills, should be preferred.

 Dissolve the acacia in the water, in a 
 porcelain capsule, on a water bath, add 
 the syrup and ferrous sulfate, stir for 
 some moments to make the mixture ho- 
 mogeneous, add the potassium carbon- 
 ate, constantly stirring with an iron 
 spatula, and continue stirring until the 
 
 mass has acquired a pilular consistence 
 rather more hard than soft. Withdraw 
 from the source of heat and divide the 
 mass into 100 pills, which must be dried 
 in the stove, and then silvered. Put 
 into bottles and cork well. 
 
 Each pill weighs about 6 grains.

 Plasters. (Emplastra.) 
 
 These are solid compounds, of fatty-

 They are harder than cerates, are to be 
 spread by heat on cloth, leather, etc., 
 and in this form are applied to the 
 body to which they adhere. 
 
 The spread plasters of the market 
 consist of plasters of the above charac- 
 ter spread on suitable material or they 
 have a caoutchouc (india-rubber) in- 
 stead of a fatty vehicle. The U. S. P.

 Melt the adhesive plaster on a water

 leaves, previously softened by the heat 
 of a water bath, and continue the heat, 
 stirring constantly until the mixture is 
 perfectly homogeneous, then allow to 
 cool.— U. S. P. 1900. 
 
 Belladonna plaster should contain not 
 less than 0.38 to 0.42 per cent, of mydri- 
 atic alkaloids. It is customary for 
 druggists to retail over their counters 
 the spread belladonna plasters of the 
 factories which are made with a 
 rubber base. The U. S. P. requires that 
 these also should assay not less than 
 0.35 nor more than 0.40 per cent of 
 mydriatic alkaloids. 
 
 The belladonna plaster of the U. S. 
 P. 1890 was made with resin and soap 
 plasters as a base. 
 
 The plaster of the Brit. Pharm. is 
 made by evaporating 6 x /i fluidounces of 
 liquid (fluid) extract of belladonna, 
 Brit. Pharm., on a water bath until it 
 weighs 1Y2 av.ounces, then incorpora- 
 ting yYz av.ounces of resin plaster, pre- 
 viously melted. 
 
 This latter plaster contains 0.5 per 
 cent, of the alkaloids of belladonna 
 root. 
 
 The Brit. Form, recognizes a "green 
 belladonna plaster" made by mixing al- 
 coholic extract of belladonna leaf, such 
 a quantity as contains 11 grains of al- 
 kaloid, with enough resin plaster to 
 make 10 av.ounces. This is half the 
 alkaloidal strength of the belladonna 
 plaster of the Brit. Pharm.

 Dissolve the soap in 35 fluidounces of

 dissolve the lead acetate in 25 fluid- 
 ounces of hot water, and at once filter 
 the lead solution into the warm soap 
 solution, stirring constantly. When 
 the precipitated lead oleate has sub- 
 sided, decant the liquid, and wash the 
 precipitate thoroughly with hot water. 
 Transfer the mass to a warm slab and 
 knead it thoroughly to free it from wa- 
 
 ter. Finally roll the plaster into the 
 form of a cylinder and wrap in paraf- 
 fined paper.— U. S. P. 1900. 
 
 The soap for this preparation should 
 be a pure olive oil soap such as a cas- 
 tile soap of known purity. This should 
 be cut into rather small cakes, dried by 
 exposure to the air, then grated and 
 again dried by exposure to the air. Or 
 in lieu of drying in this manner, the 
 amount of moisture in the soap may be 
 determined by examination and then 
 proportionately more of the soap used 
 in making the preparation. 
 
 The lead acetate should be perfectly 
 pure, not an ordinary commercial ar- 
 ticle. Only distilled water should be 
 used. 
 
 This process of making lead oleate in 
 U. S. P. 1900 was intended to replace 
 the boiling process of the U. S. P. 1890, 
 given herewith. It is somewhat similar

 stantly with a wooden spatula, scraping 
 the spatula frequently along the sides 
 and bottom of the boiler, until a small 
 portion taken out and dropped into cold 
 water is found to be pliable and tena- 
 cious. From time to time add a little 
 water to replace that lost by evapora- 
 tion. When the contents of the boiler 
 has acquired a whitish color and is per- 
 fectly homogeneous, transfer it to a

 soon as the mass has cooled sufficiently,

 over a naked fire, under constant stir- 
 ring, until gas bubbles rise, or until the 
 red color of the mixture begins to turn 
 brown. Then moderate the heat, but 
 keep up the stirring until the mixture 
 has acquired a dark-brown color, and 
 from time to time allow some drops of 
 it to fall into cold water to test its con- 
 sistence. When this is satisfactory (i. 
 e., can be kneaded between the fingers), 
 remove the vessel from the fire, add the 
 wax in small pieces, and finally the cam-

 The olive oil intended to be used for 
 this preparation is the common grade

 these preparations, it is only proper that 
 he should have knowledge of them.

 I. To facilitate the obtaining of per- 
 fectly bright solutions of essential oils 
 in water, the use of a mixture of pow- 
 dered paper, asbestos and kaolin in 
 some such proportions as the following 
 has been recommended: 
 Paper powder (obtained by 
 rubbing dried white filter 
 paper through a No. 20 
 
 sieve) part 1 
 
 Asbestos, sifted part 1 
 
 Kaolin parts 20 
 
 Mix lightly together, finally sifting. 
 The powder should be shaken up with 
 the turbid liquid for a few minutes and 
 poured on the oreviously wetted filter, 
 the filtrate being returned until it 
 passes through bright, which it does in 
 a short time. The powder is not lim- 
 ited in its use to the solutions men- 
 tioned, but answers well for other 
 liquids also. 
 
 II. D. recommends this mixture for 
 wines, liqueurs and other alcoholic li- 
 quids : 
 
 Egg albumen, dried parts 2 
 
 Sugar of milk parts 2

 Reduce all to No. 80 powder and mix

 For one pint of liquid, use 8 to 4c 
 grains of powder, according to the tur- 
 bidity, agitate thoroughly, let stand for 
 several days in a warm place, agitating 
 occasionally, and filter.

 Ordinary gunpowder is prepared by

 nitrate with one part each of wood 
 charcoal and sulfur. However, the pro- 
 portions used by different manufacturers 
 vary more or less. Gunpowder was 
 formerly used a great deal in medicine 
 but its only pharmaceutical use now is 
 as an occasional ingredient of veterin- 
 ary prescriptions. 
 
 The following combination may be 
 used for gunpowder when the latter is 
 needed for veterinary or other mix- 
 tures : 
 
 Potassium nitrate parts 15 
 
 Charcoal parts 3 
 
 Sulfur parts 2 
 
 Powder, Gun, White.

 water, contained in a flask, 0.28 gm. of 
 pancreatin and 1.5 gm. of sodium bicar- 
 bonate, and afterwards 400 cc. of fresh 
 cow's milk previously heated to 38 deg. 
 C, and if this mixture be maintained at 
 the same temperature for 30 minutes, 
 the milk should be so completely pep- 
 tonized that if a small portion of it be 
 transferred to a test tube and mixed 
 with some concentrated nitric acid, no 
 coagulation should occur. 
 
 Peptonized milk prepared in the man- 
 ner just described, or even when the 
 process is allowed to go on to the de- 
 velopment of a very distinct, bitter 
 flavor, should not have an odor sugges- 
 tive of rancidity. 
 
 Twenty-five grains of the above pow- 
 der are sufficient to peptonize 1 pint of 
 fresh cow's milk, by proceeding in the 
 following manner: 
 
 Add the powder to 4 fluidounces of 
 tepid water, contained in a suitable 
 flask, and afterwards add 1 pint of fresh 
 cow's milk, previously heated to 38 deg.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 C. Maintain the mixture at this tem- 
 perature during 30 minutes, then trans- 
 fer the flask to a cold place. 
 
 Milk thus peptonized should not be 
 used when it has been kept over 24 
 hours, or when it has developed a bitter 
 taste. 
 
 The N. F. also gives a formula for a 
 diluted peptonizing powder intended for 
 the convenient preparation of humanized 
 milk under the name Powder, Milk, Hu-

 Mix the acids gradually in a glass or

 ature of the mixture has fallen to 32 
 deg. C, add the cotton. By means of a 
 glass rod imbue it thoroughly with the 
 acids, and allow it to macerate, until a 
 sample of it, taken out, thoroughly 
 washed with a large quantity of water, 
 and subsequently with alcohol, and 
 pressed, is foun \ to be soluble in a 
 mixture of 1 volume of alcohol and 3 
 of stronger ether. Then remove the 
 cotton from the acids, transfer it to a 
 larger vessel, and wash it, first, with 
 cold water, until the washings cease to 
 have a sour taste, and then with boiling 
 water, until they cease to redden blue 
 litmus paper. Finally, drain the pyroxy-

 Rademacher's Preparations. 
 
 Rademacher was a physician who lived 
 about one hundred years ago in Ger- 
 many. He entertained peculiar ideas re- 
 garding the practice of medicine, as well 
 as the preparation and action of drugs. 
 Many of his peculiar preparations are 
 prescribed in this country by the older 
 German physicians, and more recently 
 some of them have been employed by 
 physicians partial to the Eclectic school. 
 
 This class of preparations includes the

 Moisten the powder with 2^ fluid- 
 ounces of alcohol, pack it firmly in a 
 cylindrical percolator, and then add 
 enough alcohol to saturate the drug and 
 leave a stratum of liquid above it. When 
 the, liquid begins to drop from the per- 
 colator close the lower orifice and hav- 
 ing closely covered the percolator, mac- 
 erate for 48 hours. Then allow the 
 percolation to proceed, gradually adding 
 alcohol until 19 fluidounces of percolate 
 are obtained or until the percolate ceases 
 to produce more than a slight turbidity 
 when dropped into water. Distil off 
 the alcohol by means of a water bath 
 until the percolate is reduced to the 
 weight of 2 av. ounces, and add the 
 latter, slowly, with constant stirring, to 
 
 23 fluidounces of water. When the pre- 
 cipitate has subsided, decant the supei 
 natant liquid, and wash the precipitate 
 twice, by decantation, with fresh por- 
 tions of hot water. After having drain- 
 ed off all the liquid, transfer the resin 
 to a porcelain dish and heat it to dry- 
 ness on a water bath. — U. S. P. 
 
 The U. S. P. requires jalap to yield 
 not less than 8 per cent, of resin, but 
 the root may yield a great deal more or 
 a great deal less, and therefore the per- 
 colation with alcohol should be con- 
 tinued until the percolate gives scarcely 
 any turbidity with water. Should the 
 root contain much less than 8 p. c. of 
 resin, as much as 19 fluidounces of per- 
 colate need not be collected.

 covered the percolator, macerate for 48 
 hours. Then allow the percolation to 
 proceed, gradually adding alcohol, until 
 25 fluidounces of percolate are obtained, 
 or until the percolate ceases to produce 
 more than a slight turbidity when drop- 
 ped into water. Distil off the alcohol 
 by means of a water bath, until the per- 
 colate is reduced to the consistence of 
 thin syrup, and pour it slowly, with 
 constant stirring, into 16 fluidounces of 
 water, previously cooled to a tempera- 
 ture below 10 deg. C. and mixed with 
 the acid. When the precipitate has sub- 
 sided, decant the supernatant liquid, and 
 wash the precipitate twice, by decanta- 
 tion, with fresh portions of cold water. 
 Spread it, in a thin layer, upon a strain- 
 er, and dry the resin by exposure to 
 the air in a cool place, protected from 
 light. Should it coalesce during the 
 drying, or aggregate into lumps having 
 a varnish-like surface, it should be re- 
 moved, broken in pieces, and rubbed in 
 a mortar. As this is liable to happen 
 during warm weather, the preparation is 
 best made in cold weather. — U. S. P.

 Dissolve the potassium sulfate and 
 sodium chlorid in the water, and add 
 this solution to the other two salts, pre- 
 viously melted in a tared capsule and at 
 a gentle heat in their own water of 
 crystallization. Evaporate the mixture 
 to about 180 parts, set it aside in a cool 
 place, and stir frequently, so as to pre- 
 vent the formation of large crystals, 
 taking care, however, that none of the 
 salt separate in a pulverulent form. Dis- 
 tribute any remaining water of crystal- 
 lization uniformly over the crystals, and 
 dry the whole mixture sufficiently by ex- 
 posure to air, so that it will retain its 
 crystalline character. 
 
 A solution of about 16 grains of the 
 dry, or about 27 grains of the crystalline 
 salt, in 6 fluidounces of distilled water, 
 represents an equal volume of Carlsbad 
 water (Sprudel) in its essential con- 
 stituents. 
 
 The salts employed in the preparation 
 of the crystalline form must have been 
 purified by recrystallization. 
 
 For the latter, the Germ. Form, has a 
 somewhat different formula, as follows : 
 
 Sodium chlorid part 1 
 
 Sodium carbonate, crystal, .parts 2 
 
 Sodium sulfate parts 5 
 
 Water, hot parts 12 
 
 Dissolve the salts in the hot water, 
 filter the solution, and evaporate the 
 
 filtrate until a film begins to form on 
 the. surface, then set it aside to crystal- 
 lize. Separate the crystals from the 
 mother liquid and transfer them (with- 
 out washing them with water) to bot- 
 tles. Reject the mother liquid. 
 
 The resulting crystals are colorless, 
 with a tendency to effloresce, and are 
 soluble in i l / 2 parts of water. 
 
 Salts, Effervescent. 
 
 The effervescent salts or powders, for 
 which formulas are here given, are most 
 conveniently and efficiently dispensed in 
 the form of fine powders, because in 
 this condition they can be made extem- 
 poraneously and with an assurance of 
 their freshness and efficiency. The pop- 
 ular demand, however, seems to be for 
 granular effervescent salts, the prepara- 
 tion of which requires certain modifica- 
 tions of the formulas, important only in 
 so far as they enable the dispenser to 
 granulate the powder in a convenient 
 and expeditious manner. 
 
 Effervescent powders or salts are 
 composed of the medicinal agent in ad- 
 mixture with an alkaline bicarbonate, an 
 organic acid, and sugar. The proportion 
 of the medicinal agent is dependent upon 
 its dose, that of the alkaline bicarbonate 
 and of the organic acid is dependent 
 upon their molecular relation to each 
 other, while the proportion of sugar is 
 dependent upon the quantity necessary 
 as a sweetening agent and diluent. The 
 sugar is now frequently omitted. 
 
 The ingredients for making the fine 
 pulverulent form of effervescent pow- 
 ders are : The medicinal agent, sodium 
 bicarbonate, tartaric acid and sugar, and 
 it is necessary that these be well dried 
 before mixing them. 
 
 To make the granular form of effer- 
 vescent salts the ingredients need not be 
 dried, unless specially directed, and the 
 ingredients are the same as for the pul- 
 verulent form, with the single excep- 
 tion that one-half the molecule of tar- 
 taric acid is replaced by one-half a 
 molecule of powdered citric acid. 
 
330 
 
 STANDARD FORM ULARY OF 
 
 In order to facilitate the manufacture 
 of effervescent salts, the- revised Na- 
 tional Formulary recognizes three new- 
 preparations, viz. : saccharated citric 
 acid, saccharated tartaric acid, and sac- 
 charated sodium bicarbonate. 
 
 Saccharated citric acid is prepared by 
 mixing 5 av. ounces of citric acid with 
 3 av. ounces of sugar, each to be in 
 very fine powder. 
 
 Saccharated tartaric acid is prepared 
 by mixing 6^4 av. ounces of tartaric 
 acid with zVa av. ounces of sugar, each 
 to be in very fine powder. 
 
 Saccharated sodium bicarbonate is pre- 
 pared by mixing 6 av. ounces of sodium 
 bicarbonate with 2 av. ounces of sugar, 
 each to be in very fine powder. 
 
 The ingredients of these preparations 
 should be intimately mixed, and should 
 be preserved in well-stoppered bottles. 
 
 The proportion of sugar in these sac- 
 charates is so adjusted that when either 
 of the acid saccharates is mixed with an 
 equal weight of the alkaline saccharate, 
 the acid and alkali are in molecular re- 
 lation to each other, and, when dis- 
 solved in water, will form the neutral 
 tartrate and citrate of sodium respec- 
 tively. 
 
 With these three saccharates in stock, 
 it becomes possible to make effervescent 
 powders or salts quickly with any medi- 
 cinal agent that may be prescribed, their 
 use being exemplified by the following 
 general formulas: 
 
 I. Fine Powder: 
 Medicinal agent, fine pow- 
 der av.oz. 2 
 
 Saccharated sodium bicar- 
 bonate av.oz. 19 
 
 Saccharated tartaric acid, .av.oz. 19 
 Triturate the ingredients until a uni- 
 formly mixed powder is obtained. In 
 order to insure permanence of the prod- 
 uct, the ingredients should be well dried 
 before mixing: 
 
 II. Granular Salt: 
 Medicinal agent, fine pow- 
 
 der av.oz. 2 
 
 Saccharated sodium bicar- 
 bonate av.oz. 19 
 
 Saccharated tartaric acid, .av.oz. 9^ 
 Saccharated citric acid av.oz. g l / 2 
 
 Mix the ingredients (not dried) in a 
 mortar, transfer them to an evaporating 
 dish, and heat on a water bath, kept at 
 60 to 71 degrees C, under constant stir- 
 ring with a wooden spatula, until dry 
 and uniformly granular. 
 
 The saccharated citric acid, being 
 made from crystallized citric acid con- 
 taining one molecule of water of cry- 
 stallization, supplies the moisture neces- 
 sary to cause the powder, when heated, 
 to cake and adhere together. If the 
 somewhat pasty mass is then stirred 
 with the spatula, small granules are 
 readily formed, and these become firm 
 when completely dried. 
 
 Another method of making the granu- 
 lar effervescent salts is to add to either 
 of the above mixtures just enough alco- 
 hol to form a pasty mass, then rubbing 
 this through a No. 20 porcelain colander, 
 and drying the product in a drying rocm 
 at a gentle heat. The powders should 
 be well dried and powdered before use. 
 The alcohol used should be just suffi- 
 cient to form a pasty mass, as an excess 
 would make the drying require a longer 
 period of time, and at the same time 
 w r ould prove a serious waste. 
 
 The alcohol method of making effer- 
 vescent salts is recognized by the U. S. 
 P. and the first edition of the N. F., the 
 heat method by the revised N. F. 
 
 It is, of course, not always that the 
 proportion of the ingredients is the same 
 as in the above general formulas. There 
 may, for example, be more or less of 
 the medicinal agent, and it may be 
 necessary to add an extra amount of 
 sugar. It is not necessary, either, to 
 use any of the saccharates mentioned, 
 but instead the alkaline bicarbonate, 
 acid, sugar and medicinal agent or 
 agents may be employed. 
 
 Throughout the process of making 
 these "salts," contact with metals should 
 be carefully avoided. 
 
 The mixtures should always be pre- 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS.

 Use all in powder. Mix the antipyrin 
 and two acids, and with this incorpor- 
 ate the sodium bicarbonate and sugar 
 previously mixed. Place in a enameled 
 iron evaporating dish and apply heat 
 sufficient to cause the mixture to as- 
 sume a granular form, and separate into 
 granules of a convenient size by means 
 of a suitable sieve. Dry the granules 
 at a temperature not exceeding 120 deg.

 feine. 
 
 Citrated caffeine av.oz. 1 
 
 Citric acid av.oz. 5 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 7 l /i 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 14^ 
 
 The tartaric acid and sodium bicar- 
 bonate should be well dried and tritu- 
 rated to fine powder before use; the 
 citric acid should be used in the form 
 of unefHoresced crystals. Reduce the 
 latter to powder and mix it intimately 
 with the citrated caffeine and tartaric 
 acid, then thoroughly incorporate the 
 sodium bicarbonate. Place the mixed 
 powders on a plate of glass or in a 
 suitable dish, in an oven heated to be- 
 tween 93 and 104* deg. C. When the 
 mixture has acquired a moist consist- 
 ence by the aid of careful manipulation 
 with a wooden spatula, rub it through 
 a No. 6 tinned-iron sieve and dry the 
 granules at a temperature not exceeding 
 
 54 deg. C. . 
 
 Keep the product in well-stoppered, 
 bottles.— U. S. P. 
 
 This is an entirely different process 
 from that of the U. S. P. 1890. The 
 
 preparation of the latter contained sugar 
 and was granulated with alcohol. It 
 was as follows:

 Citric acid av.oz. Y^ 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 7^ 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz 8^4 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 8M 
 
 Granulate by means of alcohol as de- 
 scribed under Salts, Effervescent. This 
 mixture contains 2 per cent, of citrated 
 caffeine, whereas that of the present U. 
 S. P. contains 4 per cent. If desired, 
 the caffeine and citric acid in this mix- 
 ture may be increased to x /2 ounce each. 
 If desired this mixture may be used and 
 dispensed in powder form.

 with the two acids, and incorporate with 
 sodium bicarbonate and sugar previous- 
 ly mixed. Place in an enameled-iron 
 evaporating dish, and apply heat suffi- 
 cient to cause the mixture to assume a 
 granular form and then separate into 
 granules of a convenient size by means 
 of a suitable sieve. Dry the granules at 
 a temperature not exceeding 120 deg.

 Silica. (Silicea.) 
 
 The process of Hahnemann is now 
 superseded by the following better proc- 
 ess of the British Homeopathic Pharma- 
 copeia : 
 
 Silica, powder part 1 
 
 Sodium carbonate, pure, 
 
 dried parts 4 
 
 Fuse the carbonate in a capacious clay 
 crucible, then gradually add the silica. 
 When the evolution of gas ceases, pour 
 the fused mass upon a clean marble 
 slab. While still warm, pulverize it in 
 a mortar ; put into a wide-mouthed bot- 
 tle with enough distilled water to dis- 
 solve it ; stopper the bottle and cap with 
 wet bladder. The next day dilute the 
 solution somewhat and filter through ab- 
 sorbent cotton. Add to the filtered liq- 
 uid, from time to time, small quantities 
 of pure hydrochloric acid. The hydra- 
 ted silica will be thrown down as a 
 bulky, gelatinous, white precipitate. Col- 
 lect this and wash on a strainer with 
 distilled water until the washings are 
 tasteless and show only a faint cloudi- 
 ness when mixed with solution of silver 
 nitrate. Finally dry upon a porcelain 
 water bath. 
 
 This makes a pure silica suitable for 
 homeopathic use. It is used in the form 
 of a trituration. See Triturations, Ho- 
 meopathic.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 Soap, Castile, White. (Soap or Sapo, 
 U. S. P. — Hard Soap or Sapo Du- 
 rus, Brit. Pharm. — Sapo Oleini- 
 cus or Oleaceus — Oel Seife.) 
 
 This is described by the U. S. P. as 
 soap prepared from sodium hydrate and 
 olive oil. The Brit. Phann. describes it 
 as soap made with sodium hydrate and 
 olive oil, and containing about 30 per 
 cent, of water. The U. S. P. permits 
 36 per cent, of water. 
 
 The nearest approach to the above in 
 the Germ. Pharm. is the so-called "me- 
 dicinal soap." See Soap, Medicinal. 
 
 Soap, Curd. (Tallow or Animal Soap 
 — Sapo Animalis.) 
 
 According to the Brit. Pharm., in 
 which this soap is largely used in prep- 
 arations, this is soap made with sodium 
 hydrate and a purified animal fat con- 
 sisting principally of stearin (viz., tal- 
 low), and containing about 30 per cent. 
 of water.

 Water sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the potassa in enough water 
 to make 6>2 fluidounces, heat the solu- 
 tion, add the lard, stir well during one- 
 half hour, add the alcohol, and maintain 
 a temperature of 50 to 60 deg. C. for 12 
 hours ; then incorporate the glycerin. — 
 Germ. Form, modified. 
 
 Soap, Surgical. (Surgeon's Liquid 
 Soap or Solution of Soap.) 
 
 Improvements have been made in 
 soaps or saponaceous liquids for ster- 
 ilizing the field of operations as well 
 as the hands of the surgeon and his as- 
 sistants. These mixtures may also be 
 used for cleansing the hands at any time, 
 being excellent to remove odors. Addi- 
 tion of alcohol or ether to such mixtures 
 not only aids the detergent action of the 
 soap but carries it more deeply into the 
 pores of the skin. 
 
 The following are good formulas : 
 
 I. 
 
 Oleic acid fl.oz. 5H 
 
 Potassa (pure caustic potash), 
 
 Distilled water, each sufficient 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 2 x / 2 
 
 Stronger ether, to make fl.oz. 16 
 
 Dissolve 570 grains of the potassa in 
 enough distilled water to make 10 fluid- 
 drams. Mix the oleic acid with the al- 
 cohol in a flask and drop in the potassa 
 solution gradually (about 9 fluidrams be- 
 ing required), agitating occasionally un- 
 til a neutral soap solution is obtained, 
 using phenolphthalein as indicator. 
 Then add 10 minims more of the potassa 
 solution so that the liquid is just alka- 
 line. Allow the liquid to cool, and add 
 the ether. Set aside for some time, if 
 desired, and decant the liquid from the 
 slight precipitate which usually forms. 
 
 The mixture may be flavored with 15 
 to 40 minims of oil of lavender flowers 
 or about 75 minims of terebene. 
 
 The product contains approximately 
 40 per cent, each of potassium oleate 
 and ether, 16 of alcohol and 4 of water. 
 II. A mixture of equal parts of tinc- 
 ture of green soap and ether may be 
 used for the same purpose.

 solution to about 70 deg. C, add to this 
 the warm oil, and mix thoroughly. Then 
 incorporate the alcohol and continue the 
 heat (without stirring) until a small 
 portion of the mixture is found to be 
 soluble in boiling water without the 
 oeparation of oily drops. Now allow the 
 mixture to cool and transfer into suit- 
 able vessels. — U. S. P. 
 
 The potassium hydroxid used in this 
 process should be of the strength desig- 
 nated by the U. S. P., viz., 85 per cent. 
 Potassa of any other strength, however, 
 may be used if a proportionately larger 
 or smaller quantity be taken. 
 
 II. The following process was rec- 
 ommended by the A. Ph. A. committee 
 several years ago: 
 
 Olive oil fl.oz. 16 
 
 Potassa av.oz. 6 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Dissolve 5 av.ounces of potassa in 2> 2 
 fluidounces of water, and add 8 fluid- 
 ounces of this solution to the oil con- 
 tained in a suitable vessel, place this over 
 a moderate fire, stirring until the mix- 
 ture has thickened sufficiently. Gradu- 
 ally add the remaining solution of po- 
 tassa and continue the heat with occa- 
 sional stirring until the mixture assumes 
 a gelatinous condition. Dissolve the re- 
 maining 1 av.ounce of potassa in 16 
 fluidounces of water, add this to the 
 gelatinous mass, and evaporate the whole 
 to proper consistency. 
 
 Soft soap may be prepared from other 
 fixed oils, such as cottonseed oil, but 
 linseed oil and pure olive oil are usu- 
 ally preferred. Linseed oil makes a 
 brown soap, olive oil a pale yellow.

 Dissolve the soda in 9 fluidounces of 
 water, heat the solution on a water bath, 
 add to it gradually the lard and oil pre- 
 viously melted together, and then con- 
 tinue heating for another half hour, fre- 
 quently agitating. Now add the alcohol 
 and when the mass has become homo- 
 geneous, gradually add 15^2 fluidounces 
 of water. Heat again, adding, if neces- 
 sary, from time to time, small quantities 
 of solution of soda made as before (70 
 grains of caustic soda in 1 fluidounce of 
 water), until a transparent soap is ob- 
 tained which is soluble in hot water 
 without separation of fat. To this mass 
 add a filtered solution of the salt and 
 sodium carbonate in 6K fluidounces of 
 water and heat the whole with constant 
 stirring until the soap has separated 
 completely from the liquid. Allow to 
 cool, remove the soap from the liquid, 
 wash it with a small amount of water, 
 then express it carefully yet completely, 
 cut the soap into pieces and dry in a 
 warm place. Powder before using. —

 According to the Brit. Pharm., sodium 
 carbonate is to be dried until it has "lost 
 nearly 63 per cent, of its weight. 
 
 Sodium Phosphate, Dried or Exsic- 
 cated. 
 
 Take any convenient quantity of so- 
 dium phosphate in crystals, allow it to 
 effloresce for several days in warm air 
 at a temperature of from 25 to 30 deg. 
 C, men continue the drying in an oven. 
 Raise the temperature very gradually 
 
 up to 100 deg. C. and maintain this tem- 
 perature until the salt ceases to lose 
 weight. Powder and sift the residue, 
 and preserve it in well-stoppered bot- 
 tles.— U. S. P. 
 
 Sodium phosphate in clear crystals 
 contains 60 per cent, of water of crys- 
 tallization, therefore the dried salt is 2Y2 
 times as strong as the crystals.

 Diluted acetic acid fl.oz. 8 
 
 Add the ammonium carbonate gradu-

 The acid should be as cool as pos- 
 sible, and it should be of the full 
 strength specified by the U. S. P., viz., 
 6 p. c. of absolute acid. It should also 
 be pure, as should be the ammonium 
 carbonate. The latter should be from 
 hard, translucent pieces, free from any 
 white, pulverulent bicarbonate. 
 
 This preparation should be freshly 
 made as wanted for use. — U. S. P. 
 
 The product is an aqueous solution of 
 ammonium acetate, containing about 7 
 per cent, of the salt, together with small 
 amounts of acetic and carbonic acids. 
 
 The product is, however, unnecessari-

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 ly acid, and is much more so than the 
 same preparation of the U. S. P. 1880. 
 220 grains of ammonium carbonate 
 would be a better proportion than 180 
 grains. See also No. II. 
 
 II. 
 
 Add sufficient ammonium carbonate 
 gradually to diluted acetic acid until the 
 latter is neutralized. 
 
 The alternative process of the U. S. 
 P. 1880 is the most convenient and is 
 probably the one mostly largely used. It 
 is as follows, modified to practical form : 
 
 Dissolve 420 grains of ammonium car- 
 bonate in enough distilled water to make 
 8 fluidounces and filter, also make 
 a mixture of 2J/2 fluidounces of 36 p. c. 
 acetic acid and 5^ fluidounces of dis- 
 tilled water. Keep the liquids in sep- 
 arate, well-stoppered bottles, and when 
 the solution is wanted, mix them in 
 equal volumes. — U. S. P. 1880.

 determined by weight and measure.

 Neutralize the acid with the stronger 
 water of ammonia, and add enough wa- 
 ter to make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 Two fluidounces of the solution may- 
 be made rf desired from 510 gr. of citric 
 acid and corresponding quantities of the 
 other ingredients. 
 
 The solution should be kept in bottles 
 free from lead. 
 
 Each fluidram contains about 40 gr. 
 of ammonium citrate. 
 
 This solution is apt to take up notable 
 quantities of lead, if kept in bottles made 
 of flint glass. 
 
 The N. F. states that solution of am- 
 monium citrate, Brit. Pharm., may be 
 prepared from this by mixing 1 volume 
 with 4 of water. This is an error; it 
 should be 1 volume with 3^ of water.

 This makes a tasteless and odorless 
 preparation. 
 
 Solution for Anesthesia by Infiltra- 
 tion. (Schleich's.) 
 
 The Schleich method of local anesthe- 
 sia by infiltration consists in the injec- 
 tion into the tissues of an aqueous solu- 
 tion of cocaine muriate, morphine muri- 
 ate, and sodium chlorid. The formula 
 most generally used is one composed of 
 ]/ 2 gr. of cocaine hydrochlorid, % gr. of 
 morphine hydrochlorid, and 1 gr. of so- 
 dium chlorid to 1 ounce of sterilized wa- 
 ter. This can be made stronger or 
 weaker by adding more or less of the 
 cocaine. If it is desired to keep this 
 solution for some time, a few drops of 
 carbolic acid may be added. The fol- 
 lowing formulas are used for the tablets 
 for making solutions Nos. 1, 2 and 3 : 
 
 Formula No. 1. 
 
 Cocaine hydrochlorid gr. 3 
 
 Morphine hydrochlorid gr. 1/3 
 
 Sodium chlorid gr. 3 
 
 Formula No. 2: 
 
 Cocaine hydrochlorid gr. 1 1/2

 Sodium chlorid gr. 3 
 
 Formula No. 3: 
 
 Cocaine hydrochlorid gr. 1/6 
 
 Morphine hydrochlorid gr. 1/12 
 
 Sodium chlorid gr. 3 
 
 Different syringes have been devised 
 for injecting the fluid, one having a ca- 
 pacity of 2 or 3 drams being the most 
 convenient. The needles should be of 
 different lengths, and one or two of 
 them curved. The ordinary hypodermic 
 needle will answer the purpose in many 
 cases.

 Place the antimony compound in a 
 porcelain or enameled-iron dish, add the 
 acid, apply to the mixture at first a 
 gentle hea, which must be gradually in- 
 creased, as the evolution of gas slack- 
 ens, until the mixture boils. Continue 
 boiling for 15 minutes, then remove the 
 vessel from the fire, and filter the liquid 
 through calico, returning that which 
 passes through at first until a perfectly 
 clear liquid is obtained. Concentrate this 
 by evaporation to 16 fluidounces, and 
 preserve in a glass-stoppered bottle. — 
 Brit. Pharm. 1885. 
 
 The acid , for the above may be the 
 commercial variety, but should be of 
 full strength, 32 per cent. 
 
 Owing to the fact that most of the 
 ''black antimony" of the market is very 
 impure, great care should be exercised 
 in the selection of a suitable article. This 
 black antimony should be in fine powder. 
 The boiling of the liquid should either 
 be done under a good flue or in the 
 open air, to avoid tainting the atmos- 
 phere of the room with the disagree- 
 ably odorous sulfuretted hydrogen gas. 
 
 The above preparation is substantially 
 that of the first Germ. Pharm. (not 
 recognized in later editions).

 Triturate the chlorinated lime with 14 
 fluidounces of water, gradually added, 
 until a uniform mixture results. Allow 
 the heavier particles to subside, and 
 transfer the thinner, supernatant por- 
 tion to a filter. Then triturate the resi- 
 due again with 14 fluidounces of water, 
 transfer the whole to the filter, and when 
 the liquid has drained off, wash the filter 
 and contents with 7 fluidounces of 
 water. Dissolve the sodium carbonate 
 in 20 fluidounces of hot water, and add 
 this solution to the previously obtained 
 filtrate contained in a suitable vessel. 
 Stir or shake the mixture thoroughly 
 and if it should become gelatinous, warm 
 the vessel until the contents liquefy. 
 Then transfer the mixture to a new 
 filter, and when no more liquid drains 
 from it, wash the filter and contents 
 with enough water to make the product 
 measure Yz gallon. — U. S. P. 
 
 The chlorinated lime used for this 
 preparation should be capable of yield- 
 ing at least 30 per cent, of available

 infusions in concentrated form, and are 
 usually prepared by extracting the drug 
 with a hydroalcoholic menstruum. They 
 are 10 times the strength of the corres-

 Bromin water, distilled water, 
 each sufficient 
 
 Introduce the arsenous acid and about 
 18 fluidrams of bromin water into a 
 flask and heat gently until all free bro- 
 min has disappeared. Then add bromin 
 water, 20 to 30 drops at a time, until it 
 will be present in slight excess, or until 
 the solution does not become colorless 
 after some time. Transfer the solution 
 to a porcelain capsule, expel the excess 
 of bromin with the aid of gentle heat, 
 dilute it with water to about 10 fluid- 
 ounces, and dissolve in this the gold 
 tribromid, adding enough water to 
 make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 Ten minims of this solution contain 
 1/32 grain of gold tribromid and the 
 equivalent of 1/13 grain of arsenic tri- 
 bromid. — N. F. 
 
 The quantity of gold tribromid re- 
 quired for the above formula may be 
 made by placing 11 grains of gold leaf 
 into a flask containing s x A fluidounces 
 of water and 115 grains of bromin, shak- 
 ing the mixture until the gold is dis- 
 solved, then boiling to expel excess of 
 bromin. When cold this solution may 
 be added to the solution of arsenic bro- 
 mid, previously prepared, and the mix-

 loss of iodin by volatilization. Dissolve 
 the gold salt in this solution, then trans- 
 fer to a porcelain capsule, and heat over 
 a water bath until all the iodin is ex- 
 pelled, cool and add enough distilled 
 water to make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 Ten minims of this solution contains 
 1/32 gr. gold triiodid and 1/32 gr. ar- 
 senic pentoxid or equal to 1/8 gr. of 
 arsenic triiodid. — Cine. Acad. Pharm. 
 
 Gold triiodid may be prepared by dis- 
 solving 30 grains of gold in a little nitro- 
 hydrochloric acid to form chlorid. Then 
 heat gently with 35 grains potassium

 Solution, Homeopathic. 
 
 Solutions used in homeopathic phar- 
 macy are solutions of substances in 
 water or in alcohol. 
 
 Aqueous solutions are made of sub- 
 stances which are soluble in water but 
 not in alcohol, or those which., when 
 soluble in alcohol, are subject to chemi- 
 cal change or decomposition. These 
 substances are to be dissolved in the 
 proportion of i/io, i/ioo or i/iooo, de- 
 pending on the degree of solubility. 
 Aqueous solutions as a rule are unstable 
 and will keep but a short time. Distilled 
 water only should be used for homeo- 
 pathic preparations. 
 
 Alcoholic solutions (these are fre- 
 quently but improperly called tinctures ; 
 they should always be known as solu- 
 tions) are made of substances which 
 either wholly or in part yield their 
 medicinal properties to alcohol. This 
 applies to liquids like oil of turpentine 
 and other oils. These are to be made 
 on the decimal scale, that is, in the pro- 
 portion of i part by weight of the medi- 
 cinal substance to 10 parts by volume of 
 alcohol, and hence equal to the first 
 decimal dilution (i x). If the sub- 
 stance is not soluble in the proportion 
 of i to io, 4 i part by weight should be 
 dissolved in ioo parts of alcohol, this 
 making the second decimal dilution 
 
 (2 X). 
 
 If liquid acids are used or drugs con- 
 taining water, this should be deducted 
 from that contained in the solvent, and 
 the anhydrous acid or drug taken as the 
 unit of strength. 
 
 For further remarks on alcoholic solu- 
 tions, see Tinctures, Homeopathic. 
 
 For method of indicating strength of 
 dilutions, method of dilution or attenua- 
 tion of liquids, etc., see Dilutions, Home- 
 opathic. 
 
 Owing to indiscriminate interchange 
 of the terms solution and tincture, if a 
 homeopathic solution be not founrl Jn 
 
 this work under Solutions, then see un- 
 der Tinctures.

 Mix the ammonia water with 30 fluid-

 tion with 6 pints of cold water. Add 
 the latter solution gradually, with con- 
 stant stirring, to the ammoniacal liquid, 
 let the mixture stand until the precipi- 
 tate has subsided as far as practicable, 
 and then decant the supernatant liquid. 
 Add to the precipitate 6 pints of boiling 
 water, mix well, and again set the mix- 
 ture aside as before. Repeat the wash- 
 ing with successive portions of boiling 
 water, in the same manner until the 
 washings are no longer affected by so- 
 dium-cobaltic-nitrite test solution (show- 
 ing the removal of ammonia and its 
 salts). Transfer the mixture to a wet 
 muslin strainer, allow the precipitate to 
 drain completely, and press it, folded in 
 
 the strainer, until it is reduced to a 
 weight of 7 av.ounces or less. Now add 
 the precipitate gradually to the glacial 
 acid contained in a tared jar provided 
 with a glass stopper, stirring the mix- 
 ture after each addition until each por- 
 tion added is nearly dissolved before 
 adding another portion. Finally add 
 enough distilled water to make the prod- 
 uct weigh 10 av.ounces or measure 8*4 
 fluidounces, mix thoroughly, allow it to 
 become clear by subsidence from stand- 
 ing, and decant the clear liquid. 
 
 The glacial acetic acid should contain 
 at least 99 p. c. of absolute acid, the 
 ammonia water should contain at least 
 10 p. c. of absolute ammonia : if weaker, 
 proportionately more of it must be em- 
 ployed. 
 
 Keep the product in well-stoppered 
 bottles, in a cool place, protected from 
 light.— N. F. and U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 The product is an aqueous solution of 
 ferric acetate containing about 31 p. c. 
 of the anhydrous salt, and corresponding 
 to about 7.5 p. c. of metallic iron. 
 
 The formula of the Brit. Pharm. is 
 practically like the preceding.

 solution of sodium hydrate with 3 fluid- 
 ounces of distilled water, and cautiously 
 add enough of this liquid to the iron- 
 albumen mixture to exactly neutralize it. 
 This is shown by the fine, light precipi- 
 tate, first formed, becoming flocculent 
 and settling to leave a clear and nearly 
 colorless supernatant liquid. Wash the 
 precipitate rapidly with distilled water 
 by decantation, until the washings give 
 but a faint cloudiness with silver nitrate 
 test solution. Then drain the precipi- 
 tate on a muslin strainer, transfer it to 
 a porcelain dish, immediately add 141

 fluidounces of distilled water. To com- 
 pletely precipitate the iron albuminate, 
 neutralize the liquid exactly with Y per 
 cent, solution of soda (3 volumes of U. 
 S. P. solution of soda and 19 of water), 
 adding the liquid slowly and with con- 
 stant stirring. The precipitate is to be 
 washed repeatedly by affusion of water 
 and subsequent decantation of liquid un- 
 til the washings when acidulated with 
 nitric acid do not give more than a 
 slight opalescence with solution of silver 
 nitrate. Then decant to a suitable 
 strainer, allow the liquid to drain, trans- 
 fer the precipitate to a tared bottle, add 
 to it the solution of soda previously mix-

 and agitate until dissolved. Then add 
 the cinnamon water, tincture, and alco- 
 hol, and then enough distilled water to 
 make the product weigh 16^4 av.ounces.

 Introduce the iron into a flask or bot- 
 tle having the capacity of about 3 pints, 
 pour upon it a mixture of 9^4 av. ounces 
 of hydrochloric acid and S l A fluidounces 
 of distilled water, and heat the mixture 
 upon a water bath for not less than an 
 hour and fifteen minutes, or until effer- 
 vescence ceases ; then heat it to the boil- 
 ing point, filter it through paper, and 
 having rinsed the flask or bottle and 
 wire with a little hot distilled water, 
 pass the rinsings through the filter. To 
 the filtrate add 534 av.ounces of hydro- 
 chloric acid, and then add this mixture, 
 slowly and gradually, in a thin stream, 
 to V/2 av.ounces of nitric acid contained 
 in a capacious porcelain vessel, and 
 warm gently. After effervescence ceases, 
 apply heat, by means of a sand bath, 
 stirring occasionally, until the liquid is 
 free from nitric acid. If the solution 
 has acquired a black color, continue the 
 addition of nitric acid, drop by drop, 
 until red fumes are no longer evolved 
 and the solution assumes a clear red- 
 dish-brown color. Finally add the re- 
 maining 1 av.ounce of hydrochloric acid 
 and enough distilled water to make the 
 
 product weigh 2^/2 av.ounces or meas- 
 ure 18^4 fluidounces. — U. S. P. 
 
 While the U. S. P. directs finally to 
 add water to make up a definite weight, 
 in actual practice it may be found neces- 
 sary to evaporate in order to reduce to 
 this weight. 
 
 A convenient form of iron wire for 
 making this preparation is that which is 
 commercially available under the name 
 "card teeth." The acids for making this 
 preparation must be of full strength, the 
 hydrochloric 31.9 p. c. of absolute acid, 
 the nitric 68 p. c. of absolute caid. 
 
 The product is an aqueous solution of 
 ferric, chlorid containing not less than 
 29 p. c. of anhydrous salt, corresponding 
 to about 48 p. c. of crystallized salt 
 (with 12 molecules of water), or to 10 
 p. c. of metallic iron, and containing 
 also some free hydrochloric acid. 
 
 II. The Brit. Pharm. recognizes a 
 strong solution of ferric chlorid and a 
 solution of ferric chlorid. The strong 
 solution is made practically like that of 
 the U. S. P., but is slightly stronger, 
 representing almost 16 per cent, of me- 
 tallic iron. 
 
 The other solution is made by mixing 
 t volume of this solution with 3 vol- 
 umes of distilled water.

 iron.

 the nitrate, over a boiling water bath, 
 antil crystals begin to form, and the

 luted hypophosphorous acid, continue 
 the heat, if necessary, until a perfect so- 
 lution is obtained; then transfer the 
 liquid to a graduated bottle, allow it to 
 cool, and add enough distilled water to 
 make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 Each fluidram represents about 20 gr. 
 of protochlorid of iron (ferrous chlo- 
 rid).— N. F.

 Mix the ammonia water with 60 fluid-

 tion with I2Y 2 pints of cold water. Add 
 the latter solution slowly to the ammo- 
 niacal liquid, stirring constantly. Pour 
 the mixture on a wet muslin strainer, 
 and allow the liquid to run off and the 
 precipitate to drain. Then remove the 
 moist mass from the strainer, mix it 
 well with jYt. pints of cold water, again 
 pour it on the strainer and let it drain. 
 Repeat this washing with several suc- 
 cessive portions of cold water in the 
 same manner, until the washings cease 
 to produce more than a slight cloudiness 
 with barium chlorid test-solution. Then 
 allow the precipitate to drain completely, 
 transfer it to a porcelain capsule, add 
 the citric acid, and heat the mixture on 
 a water bath to 60 deg. C, stirring con- 
 stantly, until the precipitate is dissolved. 
 Lastly, filter the liquid, and evaporate it 
 at the above-mentioned temperature un- 
 til it weighs 20M av.oances or measures 
 16 fluidounces.-N. F. and U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 The precipitated ferric hydrate retains 
 enough water to enable the ferric citrate 
 to be dissolved; in fact, as may be ob- 
 served, a portion of the water has to be 
 evaporated from the solution. 
 
 The product is an aqueous solution of 
 ferric citrate, containing about 35 p. c. of 
 the anhydrous salt, corresponding to 
 about 7^2 p. c. of metallic iron.

 diluted ammonia water to impart a dis- 
 tinct ammoniacal odor. Collect the pre- 
 cipitate on calico or muslin, wash it 
 with distilled water and squeeze the 
 strainer to remove superfluous water. 
 Add the precipitate to the remainder of 
 the solution of iron chlorid, stir thor- 
 oughly, warm gently, and when com- 
 plete, or nearly complete solution is 
 effected, filter if necessary, place the 
 liquid in a dialyzer, and dialyze in the 
 usual manner until the liquid on the 
 dialyzer is almost tasteless. Then add 
 to this liquid enough water to make it 
 measure 16 fluidounces. — Brit. Pharm. 
 
 Most of the so-called "dialyzed iron" 
 of the market is not prepared by dialysis, 
 but is made by a process the same or 
 very similar to the one given under So- 
 lution of Iron Oxychlorid, which see. 
 
 The above contains 10 per cent, of 
 iron oxychlorid. The preparation sold 
 in this country usually contains but 5 
 p. c. of ferric oxid, and it is frequently 
 made to contain one-eighth of its vol- 
 ume of glycerin to prevent gelatinization.

 mix them, and stir thoroughly; after a 
 few minutes transfer the resulting mag- 
 ma to a close linen or muslin strainer, 
 and wash the precipitate with about 2 
 fluidounces of water. Allow it to drain, 
 and then press it forcibly in the strain- 
 er, so as to remove as much of the 
 liquid as possible. Transfer the precipi- 
 tate from the strainer to a mortar, add 
 \o it the potassium citrate, and triturate 
 until a perfectly smooth paste results, 
 that may have formed, and keep the so- 
 lution in small, completely-filled and

 solution for several days in a cold place, 
 if convenient ; then pour off the clear 
 solution from any precipitate or crystals 
 that may have formed, and keep the 
 solution in small, completely-filled and 
 well-corked bottles. 
 
 Six minims of each of the above solu-

 Dissolve the chlorid and hypophosphite

 and pour the solution of the hypophos- 
 phite slowly with stirring into the iron 
 solution. Collect the precipitate and 
 wash it with successive portions of dis- 
 tilled water until the washings are al- 
 most free from chlorid. Dissolve the 
 well-drained precipitate in a solution of 
 the ammonia water and acid in 4 fluid- 
 ounces of distilled water, and filter. De- 
 termine the proportion of iron hypophos- 
 phite present in this solution by the fol- 
 lowing process : Take any small amount 
 of the solution, dilute it with an equal 
 volume of distilled water, add an excess 
 of solution of potash and apply a gentle 
 heat. Collect the precipitate, wash, dry, 
 ignite and weigh the resulting iron ox- 
 ide. The weight in grammes multiplied 
 by the factor 137. 1 will indicate the num- 
 ber of grains of iron hypophosphite in 
 each fluidounce of solution. Adjust the 
 volume of liquid by the addition of dis- 
 tilled water so that each fluidounce shall 
 contain 40 grs. of iron hypophosphite. 
 
 Ferric hypophosphite is now commer- 
 cially available and may be used instead 
 of making it by precipitation, although 
 when freshly prepared it is more readily 
 soluble.

 moderate the reaction by placing the 
 flask in cold water, or by allowing cold 
 water to flow over it, meanwhile keeping 
 up the agitation. When the reaction has 
 moderated, add one-half of the remain- 
 ing iodin at a time, and carefully mod- 
 erate the reaction each time, in the man- 
 ner above directed. Finally, raise the 
 contents of the flask to boiling and filter 
 immediately through moistened pure fil- 
 tering paper (the point of the filter 
 being supported by a pellet of absorbent 
 cotton) into a bottle containing the di- 
 luted hypophosphorous acid. When all 
 the liquid has passed, rinse the flask 
 with 4 fluidrams of boiling distilled 
 water, and pass this through the filter. 
 Cork the bottle and set it aside to cool. 
 Finally, add enough distilled water to 
 
 make the product measure 16 fluid- 
 ounces. 
 
 This solution contains about 8 p. c. of 
 ferrous iodid. On mixing 1 volume with 
 11 volumes of simple syrup, the product 
 will be practically identical with syrup

 boiling alcohol (which removes the un- 
 desirable color erythrolitmin), each ex- 
 traction lasting for about an hour. After 
 draining off the alcohol, digest the resi- 
 due with about an equal weight of cold 
 water, and filter. (This blue solution, 
 which contains some alkali, after being 
 acidulated, may be used to make red lit- 
 mus paper.) Finally extract the residue 
 with about 5 times its weight of boiling 
 water, and, after thoroughly cooling, fil- 
 ter. 
 
 The addition of 1 drop of tenth-nor- 
 mal acid or alkali volumetric solution to 
 50 cc. of water containing 5 drops of lit- 
 mus, solution should produce a distinct 
 change in color. — U. S. P.

 only 1 gr. of morphine sulfate in each 
 fluidounce, which is still used in some 
 parts of this country. 
 
 The addition of salicylic acid as a pre-

 give stability to the solution if it is to 
 be kept in stock. It may be omitted if 
 the solution is prepared for immediate 
 use.

 The product is an aqueous solution of

 per cent, of this compound. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1890, this preparation 
 was directed to be made by interaction 
 between lime (calcium oxid) and po- 
 tassium bicarbonate as follows : 
 
 Potassium bicarbonate gr. 640 
 
 Lime gr. 300 
 
 Distilled water sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the potassium salt in 7 fluid- 
 ounces of distilled water, heat the solu- 
 tion until effervescence ceases, and then 
 increase the heat to the boiling point of 
 the liquid. Slake the lime with about 
 3 nuidrams of distilled water, mix this 
 with 7 fluidounces of distilled water, 
 pour the mixture into a tared flask, and, 
 having heated it to boiling, gradually 
 add to it the solution of potassium bi- 
 carbonate, and boil during 10 minutes. 
 Then add enough distilled water to 
 make the liquid weigh 16 H av.ounces 
 (measuring about 16 fluidounces), set 
 the flask aside, well stoppered, until the 
 contents are cold. Lastly, strain the 
 liquid through linen, set it aside in a 
 well-stoppered bottle until it has be- 
 come clear by subsidence, and separate 
 the clear solution by decantation or by 
 means of a siphon. 
 
 This preparation may also be made in 
 the cold, first heating the bicarbonate 
 as in the above, slaking the lime, adding 
 distilled water to each, mixing them in 
 a bottle, adding enough of the water to 
 make the proper weight, allowing to 
 stand for several days, agitating fre- 
 quently, then clarifying like the above.

 Boil the acid with the potassium bi-

 until solution is effected. Allow this to 
 cool, add 8 fluidounces of water, then 
 the bromin, and afterwards enough wa- 
 ter to make 16 fluidounces. Let the 
 mixture stand a few hours, agitating it 
 occasionally, then filter. 
 
 This solution contains an amount of 
 arsenic in combination, corresponding to 
 1 per cent, of arsenous acid. 
 
 The title "solution of arsenic bromid," 
 which is often applied to Clemens' solu- 
 tion or similar preparations, is a mis- 
 nomer, since arsenic bromid cannot ex- 
 ist, as such, in presence of water, but 
 is split up into hydrobromic and arsen- 
 ous acids. The proportions of the in- 
 gredients, in the formula above given, 
 have been adjusted, as closely as prac- 
 ticable, so as to yield definite com- 
 pounds, viz., arsenate and bromid of 
 potassium. 
 
 In order to prevent injury to the bal- 
 ances by weighing a definite amount of 
 bromin, the plan suggested under Solu- 
 tion of Bromin may be applied to this 
 preparation, viz., to prepare such a quan- 
 tity of the latter at one time, as will be

 The product contains 1 per cent, by-

 In the U. S. P. 1890 this preparation 
 was made up to a certain quantity by 
 volume, viz., 73 gr. of arsenous acid, 146 
 gr. of potassium bicarbonate, 4 fluid- 
 drams of compound tincture of laven- 
 der, and enough distilled water to make 
 16 fluidounces. 
 
 The arsenous acid used should be the 
 pure, not the ordinary commercial vari- 
 ety in powder form. 
 
 The preparation of the Brit. Pharm. is 
 of the same strength of arsenic but is 
 made with 73 grains of potassium car- 
 bonate instead of the bicarbonate. 
 
 The preparation of the Germ. Pharm. 
 differs from that of the Brit. Pharm. in 
 that 16 fluidounces contain 7 fluidrams 
 of spirit of lavender and 14 of alcohol.

 Sodium arsenate, exsiccated, .gr. 20 
 
 Distilled water av.oz. 4^ 
 
 Mix and dissolve. — U. S. P. 
 The product is an aqueous solution 
 containing not less than 1 per cent, of 
 exsiccated sodium arsenate. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1890 this preparation 
 was made up to a certain quantity by 
 volume, viz., iS l / 2 grains of dried sodium 
 arsenate and enough distilled water to 
 make 4 fluidounces. This is also the 
 formula of the Brit. Pharm. 
 
 Solution of Sodium Arsenate, Fear- 
 son's. 
 
 Solution arsenate, perfect 
 crystals gr. 12 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Dissolve the sodium arsenate in the 
 water, and filter, if necessary. 
 
 This preparation may also be prepared 
 as follows: 
 
 Solution of sodium arsenate 
 
 (U. S. P.) fl.oz. 1 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 9 
 
 Mix the solution of sodium arsenate 
 with the water. 
 
 This solution contains about 1/10 per 
 cent, of anhydrous sodium arsenate, and 
 each fluidram contains about 1/10 gr. of 
 crystal sodium arsenate. 
 
 This preparation should not be con- 
 founded with the solution of sodium ar- 
 senate U. S. P., which is ten times 
 stronger than the above preparation. 
 
 Pearson's Solution is recognized in the 
 Codex, under the 'title Solute d'Arsen- 
 ate de Soude (or Solution Arsenicale de 
 Pearson). It is recommended that 
 Pearson's Solution be dispensed only 
 when expressly designated as "Pear- 
 son's." — N. F.

 Water . fl.dr. 5 
 
 Dissolve the soda in the water, add 
 
 the acid, and w T arm gently, until it is 
 
 dissolved. 
 This preparation should be made 
 
 freshly when wanted for use, and should 
 
 be preserved from the air. It is misci- 
 
 ble in all proportions with water and 
 
 alcohol. 
 This formula is based upon that of 
 
 the 1st Germ. Pharm. (is not in the 
 
 present edition). 
 
 II. What may sometimes be desired 
 under the name "solution of sodium 
 carbonate" or "phenol sodique" is the 
 Codex preparation, which is as follows : 
 
 Carbolic acid, crystal gr. 510 
 
 Caustic soda, pure gr. 220 
 
 Distilled water, to make... fl.oz. 16 
 Dissolve the soda in 10 fluidounces of 
 the water, add the acid, mix well, and 
 add the remainder of the water. 
 
 This is much weaker than the pre- 
 ceding. 
 
 III. Still another preparation that 
 may be desired under the name "phenol 
 sodique" is the following (by Ber- 
 inger) :

 bonate in 8 fluidounces of water, add 
 the two acids, and, when they are dis- 
 solved, the syrup of citric acid. Filter 
 the solution into a strong bottle of about 
 12 fluidounces capacity, and pass enough 
 water through the filter to make the fil- 
 trate measure 10V2 fluidounces. Dis- 
 solve the remainder of the sodium bi- 
 carbonate in 1 fl'uidounce of water, fil- 
 ter the solution, pour it on top of the 
 solution in the bottle, which close im- 
 mediately with a cork, and secure it with 
 twine. Then shake the bottle. — N. F. 
 
 This is used as an efficient substitute 
 for solution of magnesium citrate. 
 
 The so-called "citrate of magnesia 
 bottle" is to be used as a container for 
 this preparation.

 In attempting to pass the liquid 
 through a filter, it will usually be found 
 that the finely divided precipitate of 
 lead sulfate will partially pass along 
 with it. This may be prevented (in 
 this and many similar cases) by adding 
 to the mixture a small quantity of 
 starch, thoroughly incorporating this by 
 agitation, and pouring the mixture on 
 the previously wetted filter. The first 
 portions of the filtrate are poured back 
 until it runs through clear. — N. F.

 action ceases and the acid is saturated 
 or refuses to dissolve any more of the 
 metal. Pour off the solution, add the 
 nitric acid, evaporate the solution to 
 dryness, and heat the dry mass to fusion 
 at a temperature not exceeding 115 deg. 
 C. Let it cool, and dissolve it in a 
 sufficient amount of distilled water to 
 make the product weigh 25 av.ounces 
 (measuring about 16 fluidounces). Then 
 add the zinc carbonate, agitate the mix- 
 ture occasionally during 24 hours, and 
 then set it aside until it has become 
 clear by subsidence. Finally, separate 
 the clear solution by decantation or by 
 means of a siphon. — U. S. P. 
 
 The product is an aqueous solution of 
 zinc chlorid, containing about 5° P er

 Spirits. ("Essences.") 
 
 The spirits of the U. S. P. are simply 
 alcoholic solutions of volatile substances, 
 such as volatile oils, camphor, etc. 
 Many of them are known "commonly as 
 essences, although the latter term is also 
 applied to some other preparations. 
 
 According to the N. F., any spirit or 
 alcoholic solution of a volatile oil, for 
 which no formula is given by the U. S. 
 P., N. F. or otlier standard work, 
 should be prepared in accordance with 
 the following general formula : 
 
 Volatile oil fl.oz. 1 
 
 Deodorized alcohol fl.oz. 15 
 
 Dissolve the oil in the alcohol. 
 The strength of the spirit thus pre- 
 pared is approximately 5 per cent, by 
 weight, provided the specific gravity of 
 the oil is in the neighborhood of 0.900, 
 as is the case with the majority of 
 volatile oils,

 Stronger (28 p. c. or so- 
 called "concentrated") am- 
 monia water fl.oz. 8 
 
 Alcohol sufficient 
 
 Pour the ammonia water into a flask 
 provided with a safety funnel tube and 
 connected with a glass condenser, the 
 latter in turn to be connected with a 
 well-cooled receiver containing 16 fluid- 
 ounces of alcohol, the delivery tube of 
 the condenser reaching to near the bot- 
 tom of the receiver. Heat the flask 
 carefully, and very gradually, to a tem- 
 perature not exceeding 60 deg. C. and 
 maintain it at that temperature until 
 ammonia ceases to be evolved. Then 
 disconnect the receiver and having as- 
 certained the ammonia strength of the 
 contents by the assay process, add 
 enough alcohol to make the product 
 contain 10 per cent, by weight of am- 
 monia gas. 
 
 Keep the product in glass-stoppered 
 bottles in a cool place. The solution 
 deteriorates and should be tested fre- 
 quently. 
 
 The alcohol for this preparation 
 should have been recently distilled and, 
 after distillation, kept in glass vessels.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 a more or less dilute alcoholic solution. 
 
 The spirit of nitroglycerin is described 
 by the U. S. P. as "an alcoholic solution 
 of glonoin or nitroglycerin (glyceryl or 
 propenyl trinitrate) containing I per 
 cent., by weight, of the substance." 
 
 The spirit should be kept and trans- 
 ported in well-stoppered tin cans, and 
 should be stored in a cool place, remote 
 from lights or fire. 
 
 The preparation of the Brit. Pharm. 
 is of the same strength as that of the 
 U. S. P. See also the homeopathic 
 Tincture of Glonoin. 
 
 Great care should be exercised in dis- 
 pensing, handling, packing, transporting 
 and storing the spirit, as a dangerous 
 explosion may result if any consider- 
 able quantity be spilled and the alcohol 
 be partially or wholly lost by evapora- 
 tion. 
 
 In case of spilling of the spirit, pour 
 over it at once some solution of potassa, 
 which quickly causes decomposition of 
 the nitroglycerin. An expert on explo- 
 sives advises pouring on the spilled 
 spirit some solution of sodium sulfocar- 
 bonate prepared by boiling sulfur with 
 aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.

 bottom of the flask and decant the cold 
 mixture of ethyl nitrite and aqueous 
 solution quickly to the previously cleaned 
 separatory funnel and draw off and dis- 
 card the aqueous liquid. Wash the sep- 
 arated ethyl nitrite first with 4 fluid- 
 drams of ice-cold water, and then re- 
 move any traces of acid by washing it 
 with 3 fluidrams of ice-cold water con- 
 taining the sodium carbonate in solution. 
 Carefully separate the ethyl nitrite from 
 the aqueous liquid and agitate it in a 
 well-stoppered vial with the potassium 
 carbonate to remove traces of water. 
 Then cool the liquid, decant it, and pour 
 the ethyl nitrite immediately into a tared 
 bottle 12^2 av.ounces of alcohol. -Ascer- 
 tain the weight of the ethyl nitrite 
 poured into the alcohol by noting the 
 increase in the weight of the tared bot- 
 tle and contents and then add enough 
 alcohol to make the mixture weigh 22 
 times the weight of the ethyl nitrite 
 added. Lastly, transfer the product to 
 small, well-stoppered amber-colored 
 vials, and keep these in a cool place, 
 remote from lights or fire. — U. S. P. 
 
 While the U. S. P. does not distinctly 
 specify it, distilled water only should be 
 used in making this preparation. 
 
 This process is an entirely new one, 
 as in all previous editions of the U. S. 
 P. and in all other pharmacopeias, this 
 preparation is made by distillation. 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether should contain 
 not less than 4 per cent, by weight of 
 ethyl nitrite. 
 
 Commercial sweet spirit of nitre, es- 
 pecially such as is obtained in large 
 quantities as in carboys, is of very in- 
 ferior quality. It contains water which 
 hastens decomposition and it is always 
 more or less exposed to light and air, 
 which are both prejudicial. A better ar- 
 ticle can be made from the commercial 
 ethyl nitrite, or so-called "concentrated 
 nitrous ether," which is usually stated 
 to contain 90 per cent, of absolute ethyl

 nitrite. This is to be mixed with 19 
 times its weight or 21 times its volume 
 of alcohol, to make sweet spirit of nitre. 
 The ethyl nitrite must, however, be 
 quite fresh, as it soon decomposes.

 To 10 fluidounces of the alcohol, add 
 gradually the sulfuric acid, stirring them 
 together; then stir in i l /i fluidounces 
 of the nitric acid, the mixture being 
 made in a retort or flask in which the 
 copper has been placed, to which is fit- 
 ted a thermometer, and to which is at- 
 tached an efficient condenser and re- 
 ceiver, the latter containing 10 fluid- 
 ounces of alcohol; apply heat gently; 
 distil at a temperature commencing at 
 76 deg. C. and rising to 80 deg. C, but 
 not exceeding 82 deg. C, until the vol- 
 ume of the liquid in the receiver has 
 been increased to 16 fluidounces, the 
 receiver and condenser being kept cool 
 with ice-cold water. Then withdraw 
 the source of heat, and having allowed 
 the contents of the retort to cool, intro- 
 duce the remaining 2 fluidrams of nitric 
 acid, and resume distillation as before, 
 until the liquid in the receiver has in- 
 creased to 17 fluidounces. Mix this 
 liquid with 10 fluidounces of alcohol, or 
 as much as will make the product con- 
 tain 2^ p. c. of ethyl nitrite. — Brit. 
 Pharm. 
 
 The U. S. P. process is superior to 
 that of the Brit. Pharm. 
 
 It will be observed that the U. S. P. 
 preparation is to contain 4 p. c. of ethyl 
 nitrite, while that of the Brit, is to con- 
 tain but 2 X A p. c. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. also recognizes a 
 Solution of Ethyl Nitrite which is a 
 mixture of 1 volume of glycerin with 
 19 of absolute alcohol, containing when 
 freshly made 3 p. c. by weight of ethyl 
 nitrite, and even when long kept not less 
 than 2}/ 2 p. c. by weight of ethyl nitrite. 
 The latter is to be obtained by the inter- 
 
 action of alcohol, sodium nitrite and di- 
 luted sulfuric acid, at a low temperature ; 
 but no process is given.

 Weigh the nitric acid into a wide, ca-

 latter liquid slowly and carefully in a 
 thin stream into the flask so that the 
 alcohol will be superimposed on the 
 acid, during the process disturbing the 
 acid as little as possible. Without agi- 
 tating, set aside for 2 days, then mix, 
 and distil carefully, on a water bath, 
 into a receiver containing the remainder 
 of the alcohol. The condenser and re- 
 ceiver must be thoroughly cooled. Con- 
 tinue distillation until no more vapors 
 arise, in the meantime, however, at any 
 time discontinuing the process should 
 yellow vapors arise. Neutralize the 
 liquid with the magnesia, let stand for 
 24. hours, and redistil it, beginning with 
 a very low temperature. Discontinue 
 distillation when the distillate weighs 
 16 av.ounces. — Germ. Pharm.

 Absolute alcohol fl.oz. 16 
 
 Weigh the phosphorus in a tared capsule 
 
 containing water, then dry it carefully 
 and quickly with blotting paper, and 
 introduce it into a flask containing the 
 absolute alcohol. Into the neck of the 
 flask insert a perforated cork stopper 
 bearing a long glass tube about 2 feet 
 long, to serve as an air condenser. Place 
 the flask into a water bath, and heat so 
 that the alcohol may be kept gently 
 boiling, until the phosphorus is dis- 
 solved. Then allow the liquid to cool, 
 and, if necessary, add to it enough ab- 
 solute alcohol to restore the measure to 
 16 fluid ounces.— U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 The phosphorus used should be per- 
 fectly translucent and should be cut un- 
 der water. 
 
 Keep the product in small, dark am- 
 ber-colored, well-stoppered vials, in a 
 cool and dark place. 
 
 Each fluidram contains about 1/15 gr. 
 of phosphorus. 
 
 The preparation is intended for mak- 
 ing elixir of phosphorous. It is unsuit- 
 ed for internal administration without 
 corrigents. Care should be taken not to 
 confound it with solution of phosphorus.

 this liquid, the sponge previously freed 
 from sand and other obvious impurities, 
 and cut into suitable pieces. When the 
 sponge has been thoroughly impregna- 
 ted, firmly wrap twine around it so as 
 to bring it to the desired shape, and 
 then dry it. 
 
 The sponge thus prepared is best pre- 
 served with the twine wrapped around 
 it. If the twine is removed, special care 
 must be taken to protect the sponge 
 against damp air.

 a temperature not exceeding 40 deg. C, 
 and rub it to a fine powder. 
 
 Preserve in glass-stoppered vials. — U. 
 S P. 1880. 
 
 Another method of incorporating the 
 iodin is to dissolve it in ether or chloro- 
 form before adding it to the starch. 
 
 A so-called "soluble iodid of starch" 
 may be prepared by using white dextrin 
 in place of the starch.

 previously dissolved in 14 fluidounces of 
 water. Stir the mixture well, collect the 
 precipitate, and wash it on a filter with 
 distilled water until the washings are 
 no longer rendered turbid by hydro-

 process : 
 
 Heat storax on a water bath until 
 most of the contained moisture is ex- 
 pelled, then dissolve in an equal weight 
 of alcohol, filter, and evaporate the 
 solvent. 
 
 The 2nd Germ. Pharm. and the pres- 
 ent Austr. Pharm. direct dissolving the 
 storax in half its weight of benzol, fil- 
 tering, and evaporating the solvent.

 Suet, Prepared. (Tallow — Sevum or 
 Sebum— Talg.) 
 
 Mutton suet is official in the U. S. P. 
 and Brit, and Germ. Pharms., but beef 
 suet is also used. Either may be pre- 
 pared by taking the fat from the vicin- 
 ity of the kidneys of the sheep or cow, 
 cutting into small pieces either by means 
 of a knife or a chopper, heating cau- 
 tiously until the fat is quite melted and 
 then straining with expression through 
 flannel. Dieterich recommends adding 
 to the fatty matter in the dish i/io its 
 weight of dried sodium sulfate in fine 
 powder, continuing the heat for 15 min- 
 utes after thorough fusion has occurred, 
 stirring frequently and filtering by hot 
 filtration. The sodium sulfate removes 
 moisture and assists in separating the 
 membranes. 
 
 Beef suet has a slightly lower fusing 
 point than mutton suet, otherwise the 
 two are practically alike, so that one or 
 the other may be selected, depending 
 upon the use the product is to serve. 
 
 Suet, Deer. 
 
 Beef tallow is usually dispensed for 
 this. It is generally sold either in the 
 form of flat cake or of cylinders about 
 I inch in diameter. It may be. slightly

 Sulfur, Black. (Sulfur Vivum.) 
 
 Originally black sulfur is supposed to 
 have been powdered crude sulfur or the 
 residue from the purifications of the 
 sulfur of commerce. Sometimes antim- 
 onous sulfid was found to be present. 
 Kebler, who analyzed a number of sam- 
 ples several years ago, found no uni- 
 formity in their composition, and from 
 the analytical results and other informa- 
 tion gathered at the time he suggested 
 
 the following formula for making the 
 article factitiously: 
 
 Sulfur parts 9 
 
 Lampblack, or powdered 
 
 charcoal part 1 
 
 If it is necessary to employ antimony 
 sulfid, the following formula gives a 
 fairly good product : 
 
 Sulfur .' parts 22 
 
 Antimony sulfid .parts 3 
 
 Black sulfur is used to some extent 
 in domestic veterinary practice as a 
 remedy for scabies and other skin dis- 
 eases. 
 Sulfur Iodid. (Iodid of Sulfur.) 
 
 Washed sulfur part 1 
 
 rbdin parts 4 
 
 Mix the two intimately by trituration, 
 introduce the mixture into a glass flask, 
 close the orifice loosely, and by means 
 of a water bath, gradually, and with oc- 
 casional agitation, apply a heat not ex- 
 ceeding 60 deg. C. until the ingredients 
 combine and become of a uniformly 
 dark color throughout. Then increase 
 the heat to the boiling point of the wa- 
 ter, so as to fuse the mass. Should any 
 iodin have sublimed and condensed on 
 the glass, incline the flask so as to com- 
 bine the iodin with the fused mass, and 
 then pour the latter out upon a porce- 
 lain plate or other suitable cold surface. 
 After cooling, break the product into 
 pieces of suitable size, and keep them 
 in a glass-stoppered bottle, in a cool 
 place.— U. S. P. 
 
 The formula of the Brit. Pharm. dif- 
 fers from the above only in directing 
 sublimed sulfur instead of washed sul- 
 fur.

 Then cover the vessel and permit the 
 contents to cool and to become clear by 
 subsidence. Carefully draw off the clear 
 solution and filter the remainder. To 
 the united liquids add gradually and with 
 constant stirring, the hydrochloric acid, 
 previously diluted with an equal volume 
 of water, until the liquid is nearly neu- 
 tralized, still retaining, however, an al- 
 kaline reaction and a yellow color. Col- 
 lect the precipitate on a strainer, and 
 wash it with water until the washings 
 are tasteless and cease to give a precipi- 
 tate with ammonium oxalate test solu- 
 tion. Then dry the product rapidly, at 
 a moderate heat, and keep it in well- 
 stoppered bottles. — U. S. P. 
 
 The hydrochloric acid must be of the 
 full U. S. P. strength, viz., 31.9 p. c. ; 
 if weaker, proportionately more of it 
 must be used.

 only in using 11 fluidounces of water. 
 
 Suppositories. (Suppositoria.) 
 
 Suppositories are solid bodies of vari- 
 ous weights and shapes, adapted for in- 
 troduction into the various orifices of 
 the human body, and melting readily at 
 blood heat. 
 
 They are made with different vehicles, 
 cocoa butter, sodium stearate, glyceri- 
 nated gelatin, agar agar, gum, soap, etc., 
 and are made of different forms, accord- 
 ing to the purpose intended for. The ordi- 
 nary suppositories are the rectal sup- 
 positories (these are understood when- 
 ever the term ''suppositories" is used), 
 nessaries or vaginal suppositories, bou- 
 gies or urethral suppositories, nasal 
 suppositories, and ear suppositories. 
 The latter two kinds are but little em- 
 ployed, while of the other three the 
 rectal suppositories are the ones in most 
 common use. 
 
 The N. F. does not recognize any sup- 
 positories nor does the Germ. Pharm. 
 The Brit. Pharm. recognizes several co- 
 coa butter suppositories. The U. S. P. 
 recognizes only glycerin suppositories 
 besides giving general directions for 
 making rectal, vaginal and urethral sup- 
 positories of cocoa butter and glycerin- 
 ated gelatin. The N. F. recognizes sup- 
 positories of boroglycerin. 
 
 Cocoa Butter Suppositories. — The U. 
 S. P. gives the following general process 
 for these: Reduce the medicinal sub- 
 stance, if dry, to very fine powder, or, 
 if an extract, soften it with an appro- 
 priate liquid, then mix it thoroughly in 
 a mortar with about an equal weight of 
 grated cocoa butter and incorporate the 
 remainder of the cocoa butter until a 
 homogeneous, plastic mass is obtained, 
 adding, if necessary, a very small quan- 
 tity of sweet almond oil (castor oil, 
 wool fat or petrolatum are excellent) 
 to assist in making a suitable mass. Roll 
 the mass out on a graduated tile (like 
 a pill tile) into a cylinder, cut this into 
 the required number of equal parts, and

 with a spatula or other suitable mechan- 
 ical aid (or with the fingers), form 
 them into the proper shape. 
 
 Cocoa butter may be grated by means 
 of an ordinary household grater. 
 
 In rolling the suppository mass it is 
 customary to use lycopodium as a dust- 
 ing powder to prevent the mass from 
 sticking to the tile and fingers. 
 
 Suppositories made in the above man- 
 ner are the so-called hand-made supposi- 
 tories and these are preferred by many 
 operators because troublesome heating 
 of the mass and its subsequent cooling 
 and chilling of molds is avoided, also 
 because the medicament is more evenly 
 distributed in the mass. 
 
 If the process of fusion is preferred 
 for making suppositories, the U. S. P. 
 directs the medicinal substance to be re- 
 duced to a fine powder, or, if an ex- 
 tract, softened with a suitable liquid, 
 then triturated in a mortar with about 
 an equal weight of grated cocoa butter, 
 and having previously melted the re- 
 mainder of the cocoa butter at a gentle 
 heat in a suitable dish provided with a 
 good lip (such as a porcelain capsule 
 or a casserole), add the mixture to the 
 contents of the dish. Allow the whole 
 to cool to about 38 deg. C, and when 
 the mixture begins to show signs of 
 congelation, pour it at once into well- 
 cooled molds of the desired kind. The 
 molds are to be cooled by placing them 
 in a mixture of ice and water for some 
 time before pouring in the suppository 
 mixture into them. Keep the molds at 
 a freezing temperature until the sup- 
 positories have hardened and are ready 
 to be removed. 
 
 The objection to the fusion process in 
 making cocoa butter is that the medica- 
 ment is not so readily incorporated and 
 will subside to the bottom of the mold 
 (apex of the suppository). This is 
 avoided to a great extent by not pouring 
 the mixture into the molds until it is 
 almost at the point of congelation and 
 keeping it well stirred while pouring 
 into the molds. If the mixture should 
 
 solidify before pouring from the dish 
 the latter may be very slightly rewarmed. 
 When made in this manner the supposi- 
 tories are also more readily removed 
 from the molds. 
 
 Before pouring the suppository mix- 
 ture into the molds, the latter should be 
 dusted with lycopodium or be rinsed 
 with soap liniment, liniment of soft 
 soap or spirit of soap to prevent adhe- 
 sion of the suppository to the metal and 
 facilitate its removal. 
 
 For suppositories containing chloral, 
 phenol, their derivatives, or substances 
 which soften the vehicle, raise the melt- 
 ing point of the cocoa butter by the ad- 
 dition of 10 to 15 per cent, of sperma- 
 ceti, but the melting point must not be 
 raised above 37 deg. C. 
 
 Unless otherwise specified the U. S. P. 
 directs that rectal suppositories made of 
 cocoa butter should be cone-shaped or 
 spindle-shaped and of the weight of 
 about 30 grains ; urethral suppositories 
 (bougies) should be pencil-shaped, point- 
 ed at one end, either 3 inches long, and 
 weigh about 15 grains, or 6 inches long 
 and weigh about 30 grains ; and vaginal 
 suppositories (pessaries) should be 
 globular or oviform and weigh about 
 60 grains. The Germ. Pharm. directs 
 that rectal suppositories shall weigh 30 
 to 45 grains and vaginal suppositories 
 twice as much. 
 
 Providing the medicating substance is 
 not in powder form, and cannot conve- 
 niently or advantageously be reduced to 
 this form, the method of mixing is not 
 so simple as outlined above. If some- 
 thing like an extract is to be incorpora- 
 ted, this must first be softened with wa- 
 ter, glycerin, diluted alcohol, or alcohol, 
 according to its character, after which 
 it may be mixed with the cocoa butter 
 as before; or it may be that some fixed 
 oil or other substance will be a more 
 suitable softening agent. Possibly the 
 substance is soluble in the cocoa butter 
 in a melted condition; it should, of 
 course, be so dissolved, and after cool- 
 ing and hardening, the mass should be 
 
394 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 reduced to powder by grating or other- 
 wise, mixed possibly with a little petro- 
 latum or fixed oil, and be fashioned into 
 suppositories as before. Large quanti- 
 ties of liquids cannot, of course, be in- 
 corporated with cocoa butter masses ; 
 in many instances, however, it will be 
 possible to concentrate the liquid by 
 evaporation without injury to its medic- 
 inal principles ; then, subsequently, the 
 concentrated residue may be mixed with 
 the cocoa butter as before. 
 
 Cocoa butter suppositories have the 
 advantage of melting at a low tempera- 
 ture and of being readily absorbed, but 
 the disadvantage, when in pencil form, 
 is that they are too brittle. Hence cocoa 
 butter suppositories are generally pre- 
 ferred for rectal and vaginal use, but 
 not for use in the urethra, glycerinated 
 gelatin suppositories being preferred for 
 the latter. 
 
 Cocoa butter suppositories should al- 
 ways be preserved in a cool place. 
 
 Elastic cocoa butter urethral supposi- 
 tories may be made as follows (in D.) : 
 
 Cocoa butter av.oz. 4 
 
 Acacia, fine powder av.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 1 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Melt the cocoa butter at a gentle heat, 
 stir in the acacia, keep at a temperature 
 of 30 to 35 deg. C. for one-half hour, 
 then stir until cool, meanwhile gradu- 
 ally incorporating a mixture of the glyc- 
 erin and water. 
 
 This mixture is to be preserved in 
 well-closed vessels. When bougies are 
 to be prepared, the medicament is to be 
 mixed with a requisite quantity of the 
 mass, and then rolled out on the pill 
 board or tile. 
 
 Glycerinated Gelatin Suppositories 
 (usually called gelatin suppositories). — 
 The U. S. P. gives the following general 
 process for making suppositories of 
 glycerinated gelatin (also called glyco- 
 gelatin) : Mix the medicinal substance, 
 if solid and soluble, in water or glycerin, 
 or if a miscible liquid, with a little wa- 
 ter, and add enough glvcerin to make 
 
 the weight of the mixture one-half that 
 of the finished mass. Then thoroughly 
 incorporate it with an equal weight of 
 melted glycerinated gelatin and pour it 
 at once into suitable molds which have 
 been greased with a small quantity of 
 petrolatum. Cool the molds thoroughly 
 before removing the suppositories. 
 Molds for urethral suppositories should 
 be warmed sufficiently before pouring in 
 the mass to facilitate proper filling of 
 the mold. Suppositories having a firmer 
 consistence may be prepared by substi- 
 tuting mucilage of acacia for a portion 
 of the water or glycerin. If the medic- 
 inal be insoluble in water or glycerin, 
 thoroughly rub it up in a warm mortar 
 with enough glycerin to make the weight 
 of the mixture one-half that of the fin- 
 ished mass. Then thoroughly incor- 
 porate it with an equal weight of melt- 
 ed glycerinated gelatin and pour it into 
 suitable molds as directed above. With 
 bulky powders about one-half the glyc- 
 erin may be replaced with water before 
 levigation (or rubbing in the mortar). 
 Glycerinated gelatin suppositories should 
 be protected against the effects of heat 
 and moisture and dry air by keeping 
 them in tightly closed containers in a 
 cool place. 
 
 Unless otherwise specified, the U. S. 
 P. directs that urethral suppositories 
 (bougies) of glycerinated gelatin should 
 be pencil-shaped, pointed at one extrem- 
 ity and either 3 inches long and weigh 
 about 30 grains or 6 inches long and 
 weigh about 60 grains ; and vaginal sup- 
 positories (pessaries) should be globu- 
 lar or oviform in shape and weigh about 
 150 grains. 
 
 Glycerinated gelatin for suppositories 
 is directed by the U. S. P. to be made 
 as follows : 
 
 Glycerinated Gelatin. 
 
 Gelatin av.oz. 8 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 8 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Pour upon the gelatin enough water, 
 which has previously been boiled and 
 cooled, to cover it, allow to stand one 
 hour, pour off the water, and allow the 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS.

 gelatin to drain for a few minutes, then 
 transfer it to a tared dish, add the glyc- 
 erin, and heat on a water bath until the 
 gelatin is dissolved. Strain the solution 
 while hot and continue the heat on the 
 water bath until the product weighs 16 
 av.ounces. When cold, cut the mass 
 into pieces, and preserve these in suit- 
 able containers. 
 
 By suitable containers would be un- 
 derstood well-closed vessels which would 
 prevent undue access of air. 
 
 Besides the above from the U. S. P. 
 the following from Dieterich's Manual 
 are also used: 
 
 Hard Glycerin-Gelatin Mass. 
 
 Gelatin av.oz. 2^ 
 
 Water fl.oz. 2y 2 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 5 
 
 This mass is to be prepared as di- 
 rected, and is then to be evaporated un- 
 til it weighs 10 av.ounces. 
 
 Soft Glycerin-Gelatin Mass. 
 
 Gelatin av.oz. V/2 
 
 Water_ fl.oz. 4^ 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 5 
 
 Evaporate this also until it weighs 10 
 av.ounces. 
 
 The molds used for bougies are of the 
 hinged kind, so that they may be opened 
 and the bougies taken out; they are 
 constructed of brass, block tin or nickel- 
 plated iron. Before using, the interior 
 of the molds must be rubbed with petro- 
 latum or oil to prevent adhesion of the 
 bougies-; they must also be made quite 
 warm to permit escape of air bubbles. 
 After pouring the mixture into molds, 
 the latter should be placed on ice to 
 cause immediate and rapid hardening of 
 the suppositories. After cooling, the 
 mold should be opened and the bougies 
 taken out and exposed to the air for 
 several hours, that they may harden on 
 the surface after which they should be 
 wrapped in waxed paper and laid hori- 
 zontally in boxes. Or they may be kept 
 in a box, rolled in lycopodium. The 
 boxes should then be well closed. 
 
 In the absence of a mold, gelatin bou- 
 gies may be formed by means of a 
 glass tube of suitable size. Oil this tube 
 
 by sucking into it a small quantity of 
 olive oil or liquid petrolatum and allow- 
 ing this to run out again. Now place 
 the tube into the gelatin mass, suck up 
 the latter to the desired height, cover 
 the upper end quickly with the finger, 
 and place the lower end on ice until the 
 lower portion of the mass has solidified ; 
 now remove the finger and lay the tube 
 down on the ice in an inclined position. 
 When the bougie has hardened it may 
 be removed by pushing it out with a 
 smaller glass tube or a rod of some 
 kind. 
 
 Urethral suppositories or bougies are 
 usually made with gelatin, these being 
 without the brittleness of cocoa butter 
 bougies. 
 
 Agar Agar Suppositories. — These may 
 be prepared by heating 1 part of pow- 
 dered agar agar with 29 parts of water 
 until dissolved, adding the medicament 
 if soluble or miscible with the vehicle 
 and pouring into conical molds of paper. 
 The latter may be formed from waxed 
 paper with the apex turned over. 
 
 In some cases the agar is triturated 
 with the medicament, as in the cases of 
 tannin, kneaded with water, and rolled 
 out by hand. 
 
 Before using agar agar, its slight acid- 
 ity should be neutralized by adding 5 
 grains of sodium bicarbonate to 1 av.- 
 ounce of powder. 
 
 Gum Suppositories. — These may be 
 prepared from mixtures of powdered 
 tragacanth, starch, dextrin, sugar and 
 medicament, rubbed to a paste "with 
 water and glycerin, or they may be pre- 
 pared by massing the medicating in- 
 gredient with mucilage of acacia, glyc- 
 erin and water, rolling into the proper 
 form, and then drying. If the supposi- 
 tories contain too large a proportion of 
 medicating ingredient, the latter may be 
 diluted with some inert or harmless 
 body; powdered boric acid will serve 
 acceptably. 
 
 This kind of a mixture is suitable 
 only for urethral suppositories. 
 
 Soap Suppositories. — These may be

 these into the suppository form. 
 
 Sodium Stearate Suppositories. — The 
 U. S. P. recognizes one suppository 
 made with this vehicle, viz., glycerin 
 suppositories, and in this instance the 
 vehicle is derived by chemical combina- 
 tion from stearic acid and sodium car- 
 bonate used in the making of the sup- 
 pository.

 the hot molds, allow to stand for a few 
 minutes, and then cool rapidly by plac- 
 ing upon ice. 
 
 The product contains 5 per cent, of 
 alum. — D. 
 
 These bougies may be made with 
 cocoa butter by triturating the alum with 
 the grated butter, adding oil or petrola- 
 tum to make a suitable mass, rolling out 
 on a pill board or tile, and cutting into 
 suitable lengths.

 Heat the extract gently in a capsule 
 on a water bath to expel the ether, add 
 the cocoa butter, melt together, stir for 
 a few minutes, and pour into molds to 
 form 12 rectal suppositories. The orange- 
 colored resin may be rejected as the 
 cocoa butter has dissolved its valuable 
 odorous principle. 
 
 The resinous deposit may be avoided 
 probably by first melting the cocoa but- 
 ter, then adding the fluid extract, and 
 heating until the ether is driven off. —

 Cocoa butter sufficient 
 
 The cocoa butter should be enough to 
 form with the extract a mixture which 
 will fill 12 suitable molds of the capac- 
 ity of 15 to 16 grains (or about 1 gram) 
 of the butter. 
 
 Melt the butter, triturate the extract 
 intimately with a small amount of the 
 butter, add to remainder of the butter, 
 stir well, and as the mixture begins to 
 thicken, pour it into the molds; or let 
 the mixture cool and divide it into 12 
 equal parts of a conical or other con- 
 venient form for a suppository. — Brit. 
 Pharm. 
 
 Each suppository contains approxi- 
 mately 1/60 gr. of the alkaloids of bella- 
 donna root. 
 
 The method usually approved here for 
 making suppositories containing bella- 
 donna or other extract is to make a 
 smooth paste of the extract with water, 
 diluted alcohol, or alcohol (generally di- 
 luted alcohol), triturating this intimate- 
 ly with a small portion of the cocoa but- 
 ter, adding to the remainder of the but- 
 ter in a melted condition, stirring until 
 it begins to thicken, and quickly pouring 
 into well-chilled molds, keeping well 
 stirred meanwhile. Or triturate the paste 
 with all the butter in a grated condi- 
 tion, make a mass by adding a little 
 petrolatum or castor oil, divide into the 
 requisite number of parts, and form the 
 suppositories by hand or with a spatula.

 make 12 rectal suppositories. — N. F. 
 
 Suppositories, Carbolic Acid. (Phenol 
 Suppositories.) 
 
 Carbolic acid, crystal gr. 12 
 
 White wax gr. 24 
 
 Cocoa butter sufficient 
 
 The cocoa butter should be enough to 
 form, with the acid and wax, a mixture 
 which will fill 12 suitable molds, each 
 of the capacity of 15 to 16 grains (or 
 about one gram) of cocoa butter. 
 
 Dissolve the acid in butter and wax, 
 previously melted together at a low tem- 
 perature, and pour the mixture into the 
 molds ; or let the mixture cool and then 
 divide into 12 equal parts of a conical 
 or other convenient form for a supposi- 
 tory. 
 
 Each suppository contains 1 grain of 
 carbolic acid. — Brit. Pharm. 
 
 Crystal carbolic acid only should be 
 used in making these suppositories as 
 the liquefied form, owing to the presence 
 of foreign liquid, is insoluble in the 
 fatty substances. 
 
 The wax is added to counteract the 
 softening action of the acid upon the 
 cocoa butter. 
 
 In the Brit. Pharm. 1885, carbolic acid 
 suppositories (then called carbolic acid 
 suppositories with soap) were directed 
 to be prepared from 12 grains of acid, 
 180 grains of powdered curd soap, and 
 40 grains, or a sufficiency, of glycerite 
 of starch. Mix the ingredients so as to 
 form a paste of suitable consistence, 
 divide the mass into 12 equal parts, each 
 of which is to be made into a conical or 
 other convenient form for a suppository. 
 Suppositories (Urethral), Chloral

 The product contains 5 per cent, of 
 chloral hydrate. — D. 
 
 Cocoa butter suppositories of chloral 
 hydrate may be prepared by melting to- 
 gether at a gentle heat 26 grains of 
 chloral hydrate, 52 grains of white wax, 
 and 1 av. ounce of cocoa butter, allow to 
 cool until the mass begins to thicken, 
 and pour into well chilled bougie forms. 
 Suppositories, Glycerin. 
 
 Suppositories containing glycerin may 
 be made either with stearin soap (so- 
 dium stearate) or with gelatin. The 
 former substance will take up or solidify 
 with 'a larger proportion of glycerin. 
 Cocoa butter will take up but a small 
 amount of glycerin. Stearin soap sup- 
 positories of glycerin are preferred in 
 this country and are recognized by the 
 U. S. P. ; gelatin suppositories of glyc- 
 erin are recognized by the Brit. Pharm. 
 I. U. S. P.:

 To make 10 rectal suppositories. Dis- 
 solve the sodium carbonate in the water 
 and add it to the glycerin contained in 
 a dish on a water bath ; add the stearic 
 acid and heat the mixture carefully until 
 carbonic acid gas ceases to be evolved, 
 and the liquid is clear. Then pour the 
 melted mass into suitable molds, re- 
 move the suppositories when they are 
 completely cold, and preserve them in 
 tightly-stoppered glass vessels. 
 
 The molds should be perfectly dry and 
 cold. 
 
 These suppositories are one-half the 
 size of those of the U. S. P. 1890. 
 
 These suppositories may also be pre- 
 served each in a small vial, or each may 
 be dipped into melted paraffin, using 
 paraffin of low melting point. If these 
 suppositories be protected in some such 
 manner there is no necessity for making 
 them freshly as needed as was directed 
 by the U. S. P. 1800.

 Mix the iron wire with 415 grains of

 and apply a gentle heat, until the iodin 
 is combined, and the liquid has ac- 
 quired a greenish color. Filter the liquid 
 through a small filter into a flask, con- 
 taining the remainder of the iodin, wash 
 the filter with 1 fluidounce of distilled 
 water, and heat the solution gently, tak- 
 ing care that no iodin is lost by evapora- 
 tion. Heat 4 fluidounces of distilled 
 water in a capacious capsule to boiling, 
 and add to it small alternate portions, 
 first of the calcium carbonate, and then 
 of the solution of iron iodid, in small 
 portions at a time, stirring briskly and 
 waiting until the violence of the reaction 
 moderates before adding a fresh portion. 
 From time to time, add a little distilled 
 water, to replace that lost by evapora- 
 tion. When all the iron solution has 
 been added, continue heating the mix- 
 ture until it is quietly boiling, then filter 
 it through a wetted filter, and ( T ash the 
 latter with enough distilled wa T to

 add the chalk, in portions, until it is dis-

 meanwhile. Then add the phosphoric 
 acid, diluted with 7 fluidrams of water. 
 and triturate until the precipitate first 
 formed is dissolved. Add 1^2 fluidounces 
 of distilled water, and filter, rinsing 
 the mortar with 6 fluidrams of water, 
 and passing the rinsings through the fil- 
 ter. To the mixed filtrates add the 
 orange flower water, and having added 
 the sugar, dissolve by agitation, without 
 heat, and strain. Lastly pass enough dis- 
 tilled water through the strainer to make 
 the product measure 16 fluidounces, and 
 mix thoroughly. — U. S. P. 
 
 It is very important that the acids 
 shall be of full strength, or if not that 
 a porportionately larger amount be em- 
 ployed. The lactic acid should contain 
 75 per cent, of absolute acid, but the 
 commercial article usually falls short of 
 this standard; the phosphoric acid should 
 contain 85 per cent, of absolute acid. If 
 the 50 per cent, phosphoric acid be used, 
 it must be employed in the above mix- 
 ture in the proportion of 1 fluidounce. 
 The formula of the Brit. Pharm. is 
 practically identical with that of the U. 
 S. P. It differs only in directing the 
 lactic acid to be diluted with 4 times its 
 volume of water before adding the 
 chalk, less water being used subse- 
 quently. 
 
 This syrup is sometimes made from 
 the commercial so-called "calcium lacto- 
 phosphate" by dissolving 200 grains of 
 it in some simple syrup, adding orange 
 flower water, 1 fluidram of hydrochloric 
 acid, and enough simple syrup to make

 Introduce the coffee, reduced to a 
 moderately coarse powder, into a suit- 
 able vessel, pour upon it 8 fluidounces 
 of boiling water, cover it well, and boil 
 for 5 minutes. Allow to become cold, 
 keeping the vessel well covered, strain 
 off the liquid and pass enough water 
 through the strainer to make the strain- 
 ed liquid, when cold, measure 8 fluid- 
 ounces. In this dissolve the sugar, by 
 agitation, without heat, strain through 
 muslin, and add enough water through 
 the strainer to make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 It is recommended that a mixture of 
 equal parts of the commercial varieties 
 of coffee known as "Java" and "Mocha" 
 be employed for this purpose. The cof- 
 fee may also be exhausted by percola- 
 
 tion, but special arrangements are then 
 necessary to maintain the menstruum at 
 the proper temperature.

 Syrup of Dextrin. 
 
 Starch parts 20 
 
 Barley malt, ground parts 3 
 
 Water parts 60 
 
 In a water bath, heat the water to 
 about 30 deg. C, introduce the malt and 
 gradually increase the temperature until 
 60 deg. C. is reached. To the starch 
 add some tepid water to form what is 
 generally known as "milk of starch." 
 This mixture is now to be added to the 
 infusion of malt in small portions at a 
 time, stirring and keeping the tempera- 
 ture about 65 to 70 deg. C. for an hour 
 or two, or until the infusion, when test- 
 ed with iodin, gives no reaction for 
 starch. Now increase the heat to near 
 the boiling point, so as to coagulate the 
 albuminous matter, strain and filter, and 
 evaporate to a syrupy consistency. — H. 
 
 The Belgian Pharmacopoeia directs 
 two parts of malt instead of three parts. 
 The above is the method of making 
 syrup of dextrin, or properly speaking 
 "maltose syrup,'' which is different from 
 glucose, but there is no objection as a 
 rule to using a good quality of commer- 
 cial glucose when syrup of dextrin is 
 prescribed or demanded.

 Syrup of Helianthus, Compound. 
 
 This Eclectic syrup was directed by 
 Prof. R. S. Newton to be prepared as 
 follows : 
 
 Sunflower seed, bruised or 
 ground av.oz. 2 
 
 Schiedam schnapps or Hol- 
 land gin fl.oz. 8 
 
 Sugar av.oz. sH 
 
 Absolute alcohol, ether, wa- 
 ter, each sufficient 
 
 Place the seed in a bottle, cover with 
 ether, close the bottle lightly, and mac- 
 erate at a temperature not exceeding 32 
 deg. C. for 14 days, agitating frequently. 
 Decant the ether and express the seed. 
 Bruise the resulting cake of compressed 
 seed and pass vapor of absolute alcohol 
 through it until the liquid comes off col- 
 
 orless. Mix the ethereal and alcoholic 
 liquids and evaporate so to dissipate the 
 ether and alcohol. 
 
 Through the cake remaining and 
 transferred to a percolator, pass steam 
 until 4 l /2 fluidounces of liquid are ob- 
 tained. Evaporate this to 2 fluidounces, 
 add the sugar, dissolve by heat, skim the 
 liquid, and filter through sand. To the 
 liquid when cold add the schnapps or 
 gin, and then incorporate the ethero- 
 alcoholic residue. 
 
 If a diuretic effect is desireoV it is 
 recommended to add to the above 1 
 fluidram each of oils of stillingia and 
 juniper. 
 
 In practice, this formula would require 
 considerable modification. The oil should 
 be extracted from the seeds with strong- 
 er ether by the same process as oleo- 
 resins are prepared, subsequently evap- 
 orating the ether. Then dry the marc, 
 extract it with hot water, evaporating 
 the liquid, if necessary to 2 fluidounces. 
 To the latter add the gin and the sugar, 
 dissolve the latter by agitation, filter 
 through paper if necessary, and incor- 
 porate the ethereal residue. 
 
 This formula has been simplified as 
 follows in the new edition of King's 
 Dispensatory as follows: 
 
 Sunflower seed, bruised av.oz. 2% 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 6

 Pour 16 fluidounces of water on the

 the liquid to 6 fluidounces, in this dis- 
 solve the sugar, and add the gin.

 A weaker acetic acid may be employed 
 if more of it be used and correspond- 
 ingly less water. Some may object to 
 the acetic acid on account of its odor 
 and taste ; this ingredient may be omit- 
 ted if desired. A common method of 
 making this syrup is to mix the fluid 
 extract with simple syrup, but owing to 
 the resinous character of the former, a 
 precipitate will soon be deposited.

 Introduce the iron into a flask of thin 
 glass of suitable capacity, add to it 5 
 fluidounces of distilled water and after- 
 wards the bromin. Shake the mixture 
 occasionally, until the reaction ceases 
 and the solution has acquired a green 
 
 color and has lost the odor of bromin. 
 Place the sugar in a porcelain capsule 
 and filter the solution of iron bromid 
 into the sugar. Rinse the flask and iron 
 wire with 2 T A fluidounces of distilled 
 water and pass the washings through 
 the filter into the sugar. Stir the mix- 
 ture with a porcelain or wooden spatula, 
 heat it to the boiling point on a sand 
 bath, and, having strained the syrup 
 through linen into a tared bottle, add 
 enough distilled water to make the 
 product weigh 2&/ 2 av.ounces. Lastly, 
 shake the bottle and transfer its con- 
 tents to small vials, which should be 
 completely filled, securely corked, and 
 kept in a place accessible to daylight. 
 
 The quantities given above are ar- 
 ranged so that two original i-ounce bot- 
 tles of bromin may be used. The bottles 
 may be opened under the water used 
 for making the syrup. If less syrup is 
 required, one-half the quantity may be 
 made, using but one 1 -ounce bottle of 
 bromin. 
 
 A convenient form of iron for ma- 
 king the above is what is known as 
 "card teeth." 
 
 The quantities given in the above 
 formula make about 20 fluidounces of 
 syrup. 
 
 The product is described as a syrupy 
 liquid containing 10 per cent, of ferrous 
 bromid.

 add to it 2 l / 2 fluidounces of distilled 
 water, and afterwards the iodin. Shake 
 the mixture occasionally, checking the 
 reaction if necessary by allowing cold 
 water to flow over the flask, and when 
 the mixture has acquired a green color 
 and has lost the odor of iodin, heat it 
 to boiling and add at once 500 grains 
 of sugar ; when this has dissolved, filter 
 the solution into the remainder of the 
 sugar contained in a porcelain dish. 
 Rinse the flask and iron wire with 3 
 fluidounces of water and pass the wash- 
 ings through the filter into the sugar.

 Stir the mixture with a porcelain or 
 wooden spatula, heating the liquid on a 
 water bath until complete solution is 
 effected, and, having passed the syrup 
 through a clean muslin strainer into a 
 tared bottle, add the hypophosphorous 
 acid, and then enough distilled water to 
 make the product weigh 22^2 av.ounces 
 (which will measure about 16 fluid- 
 ounces). 
 
 This is described as a syrupy liquid 
 containing about 5 per cent, of ferrous 
 iodid or about 6.74 gm. in 100 cc. (about 
 31 grains in 1 fluidounce). In the U. 
 S. P. 1890 this preparation contained 10 
 per cent, of ferrous iodid. — U. S. P. 
 
 Hypophosphorous acid is added to the 
 syrup to preserve it. Many other sub- 
 stances have been recommended, such as 
 a small amount of citric acid, or re- 
 placing 2 av.ounces of the sugar with an 
 equal amount of solid grape sugar.

 ly until the froth loses its yellow color. 
 Filter the liquid while still hot into the 
 syrup, washing the flask and the filter 
 with the diluted syrup previously set 
 aside and now heated to boiling. Pass 
 enough boiling distilled water through 
 the filter to produce, when cold, 16 fluid- 
 ounces. — Brit. Pharm. 
 
 This is stronger than the U. S. P. 
 preparation, containing about 6^2 per

 aside until the iodin is combined and 
 the solution has acquired a green color. 
 Then heat the contents of the flask to 
 boiling, filter the liquid, and wash the 
 filter with 4 fluidrams of warm distilled 
 water. Add to the filtrate the remaining 
 100 grains of iodin, and, as soon as solu- 
 tion has been effected, mix with the po- 
 tassium citrate previously dissolved in 
 1^2 fluidounces of distilled water, and 
 agitate the liquid until it has assumed a 
 green color. Pour this upon the sugar 
 contained in a bottle, agitate until solu- 
 tion has been effected, and when the 
 liquid is cold, add enough distilled wa- 
 ter to make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 Each fluidram contains an amount of 
 iron, corresponding to about 3.6 gr. of 
 ferric iodid, and therefore differs from

 and prepare a solution of ferrous iodid 
 (see Syrup of Iron Iodid) in the usual 
 manner, aiding the process, if necessary, 
 by heating the contents of the flask, at 
 first gently, and finally to boiling. Filter 
 the liquid, through a small filter, directly 
 upon the sugar, contained in a suitable 
 bottle. Dissolve the manganese sulfate 
 in 2 fluidounces of distilled water, and 
 the potassium iodid in iY 2 fluidounces 
 of diluted alcohol, mix the two solutions, 
 and filter into the same bottle which 
 contains the sugar and the iron solution. 
 Wash the filter with 4 fluidrams of cold 
 distilled water, receiving the washings 
 in the same bottle. Agitate until the 
 sugar is dissolved, and, if necessary, 
 strain. Finally, make up the volume 
 with distilled water to 16 fluidounces.

 Dissolve the caustic soda in 4^2 fluid- 
 ounces of water ; add this solution to the 
 solution of iron chlorid previously mixed 
 with 9 fluidrams of syrup, and set the 
 
 mixture aside, during 24 hours, in a 
 dark place. Then pour the clear liquid 
 slowly into 34 fluidounces of boiling dis- 
 tilled water, continue the boiling for a 
 few minutes, and then set the mixture 
 aside during one day, in a dark place, 
 so that it may become clear by settling. 
 Withdraw the supernatant liquid by 
 means of a siphon, then wash the resi- 
 due again with 34 fluidounces of boiling 
 distilled water, by decantation. Trans- 
 fer the magma to a wetted strainer, and 
 wash it with hot distilled water, until 
 this runs off colorless, but so that the 
 mass on the strainer still retains a mod- 
 erately strong alkaline reaction. Then 
 allow the excess of liquid to drain off, 
 transfer the moist magma to a tared 
 porcelain capsule, add the sugar, and 
 heat it on a water bath, with exclusion 
 of daylight, during 2 hours, replacing 
 from time to time any water lost by 
 evaporation, and adding, if necessary, 
 solution of soda, drop by drop, until the 
 magma is entirely dissolved. Lastly, add 
 enough simple syrup to make the prod- 
 uct weigh 22 av.ounces, and transfer the 
 product to bottles, which should be com- 
 pletely filled, and stored in a cool and 
 dark place. 
 
 The caustic soda for this preparation 
 should be pure and contain at least 90 
 per cent, of absolute soda ; if weaker, 
 proportionately more of it must be used. 
 
 100 grains, or about 75 minims, of this 
 syrup represent approximately 1 gr. of 
 metallic iron. 
 
 The above process is based upon that 
 of the Germ. Pharm. (1st edition). The 
 formula given by the later editions of 
 this work presupposes the keeping in 
 stock of a dry saccharated oxid of iron 
 (see Iron Oxid, Soluble or Saccharated) 
 representing 3 per cent, of metallic iron.

 also be prepared by the following form-

 of water. Now add the syrup of iron 
 iodid and mix. Should any cloudiness 
 appear, clear it up by a few drops of 
 the hypophosphorous acid. 
 
 A fluidram of this syrup contains 
 about 4 gr. of dry iron iodid and about 
 6 gr. of quinine hydriodid.

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 ing about 20 times as strong as the 
 latter. 
 
 The lime, sugar and water need not 
 be boiled as directed in the official for- 
 mula ; the mixture may be allowed to 
 stand for 2 or 3 days, occasionally agi- 
 tating, then adding water, filtering, etc., 
 as before. 
 
 II. Brit. Pharm. formula for saccha- 
 rated solution of lime which is the 
 corresponding preparation to the 
 above : 
 Calcium hydrate (slaked 
 
 lime) gr. 365 
 
 Sugar gr. 730 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Dissolve the sugar in the water and 
 add the lime. Set aside in a stoppered 
 green glass bottle for a few hours, agi- 
 tating occasionally, then siphon off the 
 clear liquid, avoiding unnecessary ex- 
 posure to the air. 
 
 This contains nearly 2 per cent, of 
 calcium oxid, or about 8 grains to the 
 fluidounce, and is therefore about one- 
 fourth weaker than the first prep- 
 aration, which latter also contains more 
 sugar.

 Dissolve the potassium salt in 28 
 fluidounces of distilled water, and 3 l / 2 
 av.ounces of sugar (or 4 l /> fluidounces 
 of simple syrup), and set aside for sev- 
 eral hours to allow a gelatinous precipi-

 the boiling point to make the precipi- 
 tate denser, and separate the latter by 
 filtration. Wash the magna (precipi- 
 tate of manganese hydrate) with a lit- 
 tle distilled water, and press it gently, 
 when the product will be found to 
 weigh somewhat over 4 l / 2 av.ounces. 
 Triturate the latter with 5 av.ounces of 
 sugar and add the soda dissolved in V/2

 This preparation is in considerable 
 use in the Southern States. It should, 
 however, never be dispensed in pre- 
 scriptions, unless it is known to be the 
 preparation intended, or unless it is 
 designated as that of the National For- 
 mulary III. 
 
 V/hen Syrup of Morphine is pre- 
 scribed without any such specific desig- 
 nation or knowledge, it is recommended 
 that the corresponding but weaker prep- 
 aration of the French Pharm. be dis- 
 pensed. The official title of this is 
 Sirop de Chlorhydrate de Morphine (or

 In some sections of the country this 
 preparation is dispensed when Pectoral 
 Syrup or Jackson's Cough Syrup is de- 
 manded or ordered. As the formula 
 differs too much from that originally 
 used by Dr. Jackson it is recommended 
 that the above preparation be dispensed 
 only when it is designated by the title 
 above given.

 Such a preparation is used some- 
 times ; it has been in great repute among 
 Thomsonians and others and is still 
 largely employed in domestic practice. 
 
 One method of making it is to slice 
 the onions, slightly brown them, ex- 
 press the juice, and add syrup or honey. 
 Another method is to make a decoction 
 with water, strain, and dissolve sugar 
 in the liquid. Still another method is 
 to arrange sliced onions with alternate 
 layers of sugar and allow to stand in a 
 warm place.

 hydrochlorid, 8 grains ; water, enough 
 to make 32 fluidounpes.- The sassafras 
 
 pith was afterwards uniformly replaced 
 by oil of sassafras, and the other con- 
 stituents of the syrup have been more 
 or less altered, so that a number of 
 different formulas are in vogue in dif- 
 ferent sections of the country. Some- 
 times a small amount of Hoffmann's 
 anodyne is added. It is recommended 
 that the above be followed, if possible, 
 for the sake of uniformity. — N. F.

 has been effected. Dissolve the iron 
 and ammonium phosphates in 8 fluid-

 solution to that previously prepared. 
 Filter the whole through a pellet of 
 absorbent cotton placed in the neck of 
 a funnel, and receive the filtrate in a 
 graduated bottle containing the sugar. 
 Agitate until the latter is dissolved, then 
 add the tincture of cudbear, and lastly, 
 enough water to make 32 fluidounces. 
 
 Each fluidram contains about 2 gr. of 
 calcium phosphate, 1 gr. each of the 
 phosphates of iron and of ammonium, 
 and smaller quantities of potassium and 
 sodium phosphates. — N. F. 
 
 The above makes a preparation of 
 practically the same strength as Par- 
 rish's. It differs from the latter in con- 
 taining ferric instead of ferrous phos- 
 phate, citric acid instead of hydrochloric 
 acid, being made with bicarbonates in- 
 stead of carbonates, which is an advan- 
 tage, as the former are to be had purer, 
 etc. It is more permanent than Par- 
 ish's preparation, i. e., less liable to 
 precipitate.

 precipitated iron phosphate with water 
 until the washings are tasteless. 
 
 Dissolve the calcium phosphate in 2 
 fluidounces of boiling water with suffi- 
 cient hydrochloric acid to effect a clear 
 solution ; when cool, precipitate with 
 ammonia water and wash the precipitate 
 with water until the washings are taste- 
 less. 
 
 To the freshly precipitated phosphates 
 of calcium and iron, as thus prepared, 
 add the phosphoric acid previously dis- 
 solved in water; when clear add the 
 potassium and sodium carbonates, pre- 
 viously dissolved in water, and hydro- 
 chloric acid to dissolve any precipitate 
 which may have formed. Now dilute 
 with water to 11 fluidounces, add the 
 sugar, toward the last add the cochineal, 
 dissolve by heat, strain, cool, and add 
 the orange flower water.

 so as to obtain 10 fluidounces of perco- 
 late, using as a menstruum a mixture 
 of 1 volume of alcohol and 2 of water. 
 In this dissolve the sugar, and then add 
 enough simple syrup, if necessary, to 
 make 16 fluidounces.

 The tincture of poppy of N. F. Ill 
 was prepared as follows : 
 
 Poppy capsules, freed from 
 seeds and in coarse pow- 
 der av.oz. S J /i 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 2 
 
 Alcohol, water, each, to 
 make fl.oz. 16 
 
 Digest the poppy heads with 3 pints 
 of boiling water during 2 hours, then 
 express and strain. Evaporate the cola- 
 ture to 8 fluidounces, mix it with 4 
 fluidounces of alcohol, and set the mix- 
 ture aside, well covered, until quite cold. 
 Then filter, add the glycerin to the fil- 
 trate, and pass enough of a mixture of 
 2 volumes of water and 1 of water 
 through the filter to make the product 
 measure 16 fluidounces. 
 
 II. The above makes a preparation 
 practically like that of the Brit. Pharm. 
 1885 (not recognized in present edition), 
 
 which was made as follows: 
 Poppy capsules, freed from 
 
 seeds, and reduced to No. 
 
 20 powder av.oz. 9 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 4 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 16 
 
 Distilled water, boiling sufficient 
 
 Mix the poppy heads with 20 fluid- 
 ounces of water, and infuse for 24 hours, 
 stirring frequently; then pack in a per- 
 colator, add more water, and percolate 
 slowly until about 80 fluidounces of per- 
 colate have been obtained or the drug 
 is exhausted. Evaporate the percolate 
 on a water bath until reduced to 15 
 fluidounces. When cold, add the alcohol, 
 let the mixture stand for 12 hours, fil- 
 ter, evaporate off the alcohol from the 
 filtrate and evaporate the remainder to 
 9 l / 2 fluidounces, add the sugar, and dis- 
 solve. 
 
 The product should weigh 26 av.- 
 ounces (measuring about 19 fluidounces) 
 and have the sp. gr. 1.330. 
 
 III. The corresponding preparation 
 of the Germ. Pharm. is decidedly weak- 
 er and is prepared as follows : 
 
 Poppy heads, cut moderate- 
 
 ly fine av.oz. 2 
 
 Alcohol 3 fl-dr. 13 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 13^

 solve the sugar. 
 
 The N. F. suggests that this prepara- 
 tion may be extemporized by mixing 2 
 fluidounces of the tincture of poppy giv- 
 en under No. I wifh 14 'fluidounces of 
 simple syrup. This is an error; it should 
 be at least 4 fluidounces of tincture with 
 12 of syrup.

 Syrup of Raspberry, (Syrupus Rubi 
 Ideei.) 
 
 Take any convenient quantity of fresh, 
 ripe raspberries, reduce them to a pulp, 
 and let stand at a temperature of about 
 20 deg. C, occasionally thoroughly stir- 
 ring, until a small portion of the juice 
 when filtered makes a clear mixture 
 with half its volume of alcohol. Then 
 separate the juice by pressing, and fil- 
 ter it. To every fluidounce of the fil- 
 trate (which should not be allowed to 
 remain unprotected by sugar for more 
 than 2 hours), add ij^ av.ounces of 
 sugar, heat the mixture to boiling, avoid- 
 ing the use of tinned vessels, and strain. 
 — N. F. 
 
 Keep the product in well-stoppered 
 bottles in a cool and dark place. 
 
 The above is an acceptable mode of 
 making any of the so-called concentra- 
 ted fruit syrups. 
 
 The preparation of the Germ. Pharm. 
 differs from the above only in directing 
 a somewhat larger proportion of sugar, 
 13 av.ounces of sup-ar to 7 av.ounces of 
 juice.

 This is only about half the strength 
 of the regular Eclectic preparation in 
 its essential ingredients. Formulas for 
 this preparation vary greatly and so do 
 'the commercial syrups. 
 
 The original formula for this Eclectic 
 preparation is the following: 
 II. Original formula of Dr. Beach : 
 
 Rhubarb, contused av.oz. 2 
 
 Peppermint av.oz. 1 
 
 Potassium bicarbonate av.oz. 2 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 1 
 
 Brandy fl.oz. 16 
 
 Water, boiling fl.oz. 32 
 
 Add the boiling water to the solids, 
 allow to cool, add the brandy, macerate 
 for 3 days, and strain. 
 
 However, the formula which is usu- 
 ally considered standard by Eclectics is 
 that of Merrell; see No. III. 
 
 III. MerrelPs formula (accepted Ec- 
 lectic formula) : 
 
 Rhubarb gr. 580 
 
 Potassium bicarbonate gr. 580 
 
 Cinnamon gr. 290 
 
 Golden seal gr. 290 
 
 Oil of peppermint m. 10 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 8 
 
 Brandy . fl.oz. 22 
 
 Water, warm, to make fl.oz. 32 
 
 The first four ingredients are to be 
 made into a coarse powder, mixed with 
 the brandy, macerated for 2 days, fre- 
 quently agitated, then expressed with 
 strong pressure; to the liquid add the 
 oil dissolved in a small amount of alco- 
 hol. Extract the marc with enough 
 warm water so that the liquid when 
 added to the previous liquid will make 
 28 fluidounces. In the latter dissolve 
 the sugar by agitation. 
 
 The preparation of manufacturers is 
 usually made so as to contain the above 
 proportions of rhubarb, cinnamon and 
 golden seal. Very frequently only one- 
 fourth as much potassium bicarbonate 
 is used, and frequently it is potassium 
 carbonate, which is used in one-fourth 
 amount. 
 
 The above preparation is equally effi- 
 cacious if made with a mixture of 1 
 volume of alcohol and 2 of water, in- 
 stead of the brandy and water. The 
 sugar may be increased to 16 av.ounces 
 if a more agreeable preparation is de- 
 sired; in this case the liquid obtained 
 must not exceed 22 fluidounces. 
 
 Other formulas are also used, among 
 which are the following:

 While these are the directions of the 
 U. S. P., it is probable that they are 
 followed by but few pharmacists. If 
 distilled water is used, the boiling is 
 unnecessary, in fact it is detrimental 
 as it may produce changes in the sugar 
 which will hasten subsequent fermenta- 
 tion of the syrup. Ordinary water may 
 be used as well as distilled water, pro- 
 viding it be a fairly pure potable (drink- 
 ing) water, the total amount of water 
 that is to be used being first brought to 
 a boil, then upon adding the sugar and 
 stirring, the latter will dissolve in a 
 few moments ; allow the syrup to cool 
 somewhat, and strain. The more usual 
 proportions of sugar and water for pre- 
 paring this syrup are 3^2 av.pounds of 
 the former to 2 pints of the latter. 
 
 The straining cloth should preferably 
 be of some kind of flannel; muslin is 
 not satisfactory. 
 
 The granulated sugar of the market 
 is as a rule quite pure, but always, or 
 practically always, contains small 
 amounts of ultramarine blue added for 
 the purpose of making the product ap- 
 pear brilliantly white. This blue will 
 pass through the finest straining cloth, 
 will remain suspended in the syrup for 
 a very protracted period of time, and 
 will impart an opalescence to the prod- 
 uct. The only way to obtain an abso- 
 
 lutely transparent product is by hot fil- 
 tration through filter paper; or the sugar 
 may be replaced by the purer form 
 known as white "rock candy." 
 
 The U. S. P. gives an alternative 
 process for making simple syrup, as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 Press down into the neck of a perco- 
 lator of suitable size a pledget of puri- 
 fied cotton, not too tightly, and in such 
 a manner that the cotton shall nearly 
 fill the neck of the percolator, and moist- 
 en it with a few drops of distilled wa- 
 ter. Place the 57 av. ounces of sugar 
 into the apparatus, make its surface level 
 without jarring or shaking, then careful- 
 ly pour on 29 fluidounces of distilled 
 water, and regulate the flow of the 
 liquid, if necessary, so that it will pass 
 out in rapid drops. Return the first 
 portions of the percolate, until it runs 
 through clear, and, when all the liquid 
 has passed, follow it by distilled water, 
 added in portions, so that all the sugar 
 may be dissolved, and the product meas- 
 ure 64 fluidounces. Mix the total per- 
 colate thoroughly. 
 
 Care must be taken in inserting the 
 pledget of cotton. It must not be too 
 small, as it will then pack into the throat 
 of the percolator and impede percolation. 
 
 The simple syrup of the Brit. Pharm. 
 is made by dissolving 2 av.pounds of 
 sugar in 15^ fluidounces of boiling dis- 
 tilled water, then adding boiling dis- 
 tilled water to make the product weigh 
 3 av.pounds. 
 
 The preparation of the Germ. Pharm. 
 is made from 3 av.pounds sugar and 2

 Mix the squill and senega, moisten 
 
 with 3 fluidounces of diluted alcohol, 
 and macerate for 1 hour. Transfer to a 
 conical percolator, and gradually pour 
 diluted alcohol upon it until 10 fluid- 
 ounces of percolate are obtained. Boil 
 this for a few minutes, then evap- 
 orate it by means of a water bath to 4 
 fluidounces ; add 2 fluidounces of boil- 
 ing water, triturate the mixture with 
 the calcium phosphate, filter, and add 
 through the filter enough warm water 
 to make the filtrate measure 8 fluid- 
 ounces. In this dissolve the sugar by 
 agitation without heat, and strain. Last- 
 ly dissolve the tartar emetic in 4 fluid- 
 drams of hot distilled water and mix it 
 with the syrup. 
 
 Syrup of Starch Iodid. 
 
 The following is one method of ma- 
 king this preparation: 
 
 Iodin gr. 30 
 
 Starch gr. 250 
 
 Ether, water, sugar, each, .sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the iodin in etfier, pour the 
 solution on the starch and triturate until 
 all the ether has evaporated. Then 
 transfer the mixture to a porcelain cap- 
 sule and heat on a water bath for Y* 
 hour, stirring very frequently. At first 
 considerable iodin vapor is evolved, but 
 this soon ceases. From the soluble 
 starch iodid thus formed, the syrup may 
 be prepared by dissolving 84 gr. in 7H 
 fluidounces of hot water, and in the 
 solution dissolving 14 av.ounces of sugar. 
 
 This syrup represents 1/1© per cent, 
 of iodin. 
 
 This preparation may also be made 
 from soluble iodized starch. See Starch,

 press (if possible). In 71/4 av.ounces 
 of liquid dissolve 14 av.ounces of sugar 
 on a water bath in a well-tinned vessel.

 To make a nice syrup, the petals 
 should be freed from calyces, etc., with 
 clean, dry hands, the water must not 
 contain traces of ammonia, and the 
 sugar must be free from alkaline earths. 
 For the latter reason, white rock candy 
 should be preferred to other forms of 
 sugar.

 syrup may be prepared factitiously as

 — N. F. 
 White pine bark is the bark of Pinus 
 Strobus. Much of this drug found in 
 the market is valueless, particularly that 
 which is purchased in the ground condi- 
 tion. 
 
 The ingredients of the N. F. prepara- 
 tion differ somewhat from those of the 
 better class of preparations in the mar- 
 ket. These latter are usually made to 
 contain 960 grains each of white pine 
 and wild cherry, 128 each of spikenard 
 and balm of gilead, 112 of bloodroot, 64 
 of sassafras, 6 of morphine and 128 
 minims of chloroform to make 32 fluid- 
 ounces of the preparation. The mor- 
 phine salt used is the acetate, but the 
 sulfate will serve equally well. 
 
 A cheaper preparation and one which 
 is almost as efficient as the above may 
 be made by using a menstruum of glyc- 
 erin and water as in the following: 
 
 White pine av.oz. 8 
 
 Wild cherry av.oz. 8 
 
 Balm of gilead buds av.oz. 1

 up, each, to make gall. 1 
 
 Mix the first six drugs, reduce them 
 to moderately fine powder, moisten with 
 a mixture of 1 volume of glycerin and 
 3 of water, allow to macerate in a closed 
 vessel for 24 hours, pack in a percola- 
 tor, and extract with the same men- 
 struum so as to obtain 80 fluidounces of 
 percolate. In the latter dissolve the 
 morphine and sugar by agitation, strain, 
 and to the colature add the chloroform 
 and enough simple syrup to make I 
 gallon. 
 
 Sometimes 2 av.ounces of ammonium 
 
 chlorid is added to the above mixture. 
 
 Owing to the difficulty of incorpora-

 ting the balm of gilead buds with the 
 other drugs and also owing to its resin- 
 ous character, it is best to bruise this 
 drug alone in a mortar, add 3 fluid- 
 ounces of alcohol, macerating for sev- 
 eral hours, decanting the liquid, adding 
 2 fluidounces more of alcohol, macera- 
 ting again, and finally straining the liq- 
 uid through a pellet of cotton into the 
 solution of sugar and morphine in the 
 percolate. This may be objected to as 
 it makes a turbid preparation. 
 
 When the syrun is used for ordinary 
 counter sale, it is best to omit the mor- 
 phine.

 hours in a closed vessel; introduce the 
 glycerin into a graduated receiving bot- 
 tle. After the expiration of the 24 hours 
 pack the drug firmly into a cylindrical 
 glass percolator, and gradually pour 
 water upon it until the percolate and 
 glycerin combined measure 15 fluid- 
 ounces (occasionally agitating the liquid 
 during percolation). Dissolve the sugar 
 in the liquid by agitation, without heat, 
 strain, and pass enough water through 
 the strainer to make the product meas-

 The sugar may also be dissolved in 
 the liquid by percolation as described

 The preparation of the Brit. Pharm. 
 differs from the above only in contain- 
 ing half the amount of gfycerin. 
 
 In the U. S. P. 1890 the same pro- 
 portions of liquids and drug were used, 
 but the drug was extracted with mixed 
 water and glycerin and the product was 
 therefore of a dark red color and astrin- 
 gent taste.

 a mixture of 1 volume of alcohol and 7 
 of water and set aside for 24 hours. 
 Then pack in a percolator, and percolate 
 slowly with the same menstruum to ob- 
 tain 16 fluidounces of percolate. In the 
 latter dissolve the sugar by the aid of 
 a gentle heat or by percolation. 
 
 The orange peel used should be the 
 fresh peel which has been dried suffi-

 Infuse the three drugs with 8 fluid- 
 ounces of boiling water, allow to stand 
 for 24 hours, agitating occasionally, then 
 filter, adding water through the filter, if 
 necessary, to obtain 7 fluidounces of 
 filtrate. To the latter add the sugar, 
 oils and glycerin, dissolve by agitation, 
 strain, and through the strainer add 
 enough water to make 16 fluidounces. 
 
 It will be observed that this prepara- 
 tion differs from the others in contain- 
 ing no alkali nor alcohol and in con- 
 taining a tannin-bearing drug (oak 
 bark), which combines with quinine to 
 form a tannate which is insoluble in the 
 saliva and is therefore tasteless. It also 
 contains licorice as does Syrup of Lic- 
 orice and Yerba Santa, and Syrup of 
 Licorice, Aromatic, which see,

 Shave the chocolate to thin slices into 
 a mortar, add 2 fluidounces of water, 
 place the mortar in a moderately warm 
 place for 1 or 2 hours, stirring occa- 
 sionally so as to form a smooth paste, 
 and then add the extract of licorice and 
 honey, mixing thoroughly. Dissolve the 
 potassium carbonate in 1 fluidounce of 
 water and in this dissolve the saccharin. 
 Add this solution to the previously pre- 
 pared mixture, and when the slight ef- 
 fervescence has ceased, add the fluid ex- 
 tract slowly and with constant tritura- 
 tion. Then incorporate the essential oils 
 and enough water to make 16 fluid- 
 ounces. 
 
 This combines the three best known 
 disguisers of quinine, viz., yerba santa, 
 licorice and chocolate, which are aided 
 by the clinging sweetness of saccharin.

 Tablets, Antiseptic. 
 
 These usually contain mercuric chlo- 
 rid with some other constituents, such 
 as citric acid or sodium chlorid. They 
 occur in two sizes, a large and a small. 
 
 The large form usually appears on 
 the market with either citric acid or 
 sodium or ammonium chlorid. Those 
 with citric acid contain 3 4/5 gr. of 
 acid and 73/10 gr. of mercuric chlorid. 
 Those with sodium chlorid contain 
 7 7/10 gr. of the latter with 7 3/10 gr. 
 of mercuric chlorid. The third kind, 
 called Dr. C. M. Wilson's, contain 7 7/10 
 gr. of mercuric chlorid and 73/10 gr. 
 of ammonium chlorid. 
 
 If one of the above tablets be added 
 to one pint of water, the product will 
 be a solution of 1 of mercuric chlorid in 
 1000 parts of liquid. 
 
 The small tablets, called Bernay's, 
 contain 1 41/50 gr. of mercuric chlorid 
 and 87/100 gr. of citric acid. 
 
 One tablet in a pint of water makes 
 a solution of 1 part of antiseptic in 4000 
 parts of liquid. 
 
 There are other- "antiseptic tablets" 
 besides those enumerated above. Sei- 
 ler's alkaline antiseptic tablets contain

 ly resembles the blood serum in compo- 
 sition and specific gravity. The use of 
 this solution, which does not favor un- 
 equal osmosis, will not cause pain or 
 other disagreeable effects. The menthol 
 in small amount is also beneficial on ac- 
 count of its soothing effect.

 Thomsonian Remedies and Prepara- 
 tions. 
 
 Samuel Thomson was an "illiterate 
 farmer," as he described himself, who 
 was born in the eastern United States 
 in 1769. After he had grown to man- 
 hood, he acquired some knowledge of 
 the native herbs of his section of the 
 country, of their medical properties and 
 of medicine. From this time until his 
 death he practiced medicine, but with 
 the virulent opposition of the regular 
 medical fraternity. No doubt many of 
 his ideas relating to diseases and their 
 
446 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 cure were fallacious, but so were the 
 ideas of the regular profession, as has 
 since been amply proved. Thomson 
 gained headway in spite of all opposi- 
 tion and many of his preparations are 
 still in use. Two of them, No. 6 and 
 Composition Powder, are recognized by 
 the N. F. 
 
 A course of treatment by Thomson 
 meant vomiting, sweating, etc. His great 
 axiom was that ''heat is life, and cold 
 is death." He vomited his patients with 
 lobelia, the internal heat was produced 
 with capsicum and other "hot" sub- 
 stances, the sweating was produced by 
 hot drinks of various kinds, assisted by 
 wrapping in blankets. Among the fa- 
 vorite remedies of Thomson were lo- 
 belia, capsicum, bayberry, skunk cab- 
 bage, ladies' slipper root, balmony, pop- 
 lar bark, etc. 
 
 Thomson had several of his prepara- 
 tions patented, patents being issued in 
 1813, 1823 and 1836. He also wrote sev- 
 eral medical works which were of un- 
 usual excellence, considering their source 
 and the time at which they were writ- 
 ten. 
 
 Thomson traveled about in the vari- 
 ous portions of the then limited popu- 
 lated area of the United States, grant- 
 ing "patents" to practice his system of 
 medicine to those who bought his book, 
 price about $25.00. 
 
 The preparations of Thomson were 
 numbered by him from 1 to 6, but there 
 were also a number of other prepara- 
 tions used by him. The formulas given 
 in this work are copied from his "New 
 Guide to Health" (edition 1827), 
 "Thomsonian Materia Medica," by Sam- 
 uel and John Thomson, the latter a son 
 of Samuel (edition of 1840), "Thom- 
 sonian Practice of Medicine," by Reuben 
 Chambers, and some other works, and 
 also include some other formulas which 
 are current as formulas for Thomsonian 
 preparations. The formulas from the 
 first-named are marked "From the 
 Guide," from the second "From the Ma- 
 teria Medica," and from the third 
 
 "From Chambers' Practice." These 
 formulas are copied as they appear in 
 the original text ; it will be observed 
 that many are ambiguous. 
 
 Others of Thomson's followers also 
 wrote works, some of them apparently 
 with his sanction, or, at least, cogni- 
 zance, and these mention preparations 
 other than those used by Thomson, but 
 which are now classed as Thomsonian 
 preparations. 
 
 Thomson did not apparently have any 
 regular or "set" formulas for some of 
 his preparations. This accounts, in part 
 at least, for the different formulas which 
 appear for some of these preparations. 
 This variation in formulas was probably 
 due to the exhaustion, at times, of his 
 stock of certain favorite drugs when 
 other similar drugs were substituted, 
 and also to changes he made as he ac- 
 quired greater and more varied experi- 
 ence. 
 
 A man by the name of Beach imitated 
 Thomson in his treatments, though his 
 methods were less drastic, and he found- 
 ed what is now known as the Eclectic 
 school of medicine. The Thomsonians 
 and the Eclectics were soon at war, and 
 both again were opposed by the "regu- 
 lars." 
 
 The name Thomson is often spelled 
 with a "p" (Thompson), but it appears 
 in his work without the "p," hence the 
 spelling Thomson and Thomsonian used 
 in this work. 
 
 The following is a list of the reme- 
 dies : 
 
 "Number one" (No. 1) is lobelia 
 (emetic herb). 
 
 This was used in three forms from 
 the Guide and the Materia Medica). 
 viz. : 
 
 1. Powder of the leaves and pods. 
 
 2. Tincture of the green herb (sec 
 Tincture of Lobelia). 
 
 3. Mixture of powdered seed, l / 2 
 ounce or about a large spoonful, with 
 the same quantity of powdered capsi- 
 cum, a teaspoonful of ladies' slipper 
 root, and 4 fluidounces of No. 6, 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 447 
 
 The powdered herb is dispensed un- 
 less one of the other forms is wanted. 
 
 "Number two" (No. 2.) (according 
 to the Guide and the Materia Medica) 
 is powdered capsicum, although red pep- 
 pers, black pepper and ginger appear 
 also to have been used. This is used 
 for stimulating or "warming." 
 
 "Number three" (No. 3) is to scour 
 the stomach and bowels, and remove 
 ''canker." This was composed (accord- 
 ing to the Guide) of equal parts of bay- 
 berry root bark, white pond lily root, 
 and the inner bark of the common hem- 
 lock, all in powder. One ounce of the 
 powder was to be steeped in a pint of 
 boiling water, the dose being a wine- 
 glassful. 
 
 If above is not to be had, use as a 
 substitute sumach bark, berries or leaves, 
 red raspberry leaves, witch-hazel leaves, 
 marsh rosemary root, or squaw-weed or 
 cocash; all are good for "canker" and 
 may be used separately or together. 
 
 The Thomsonian Materia Medica 
 gives the following as "compounds" of 
 
 No. 3: 
 
 1. 
 
 Bayberry, powder oz. Y

 dear, each equal parts 
 
 It is recommended that a small 
 amount of capsicum be added to any 
 compound for "canker" and colds. 
 
 Thomson states that witch-hazel 
 leaves may be used in connection with 
 the other articles of No. 3, or they may 
 be used alone as a substitute for the 
 other articles, in all cases. 
 
 "Number four" (No. 4) is the "Bit- 
 ters," used to correct the bile and re- 
 store digestion, and is composed (ac- 
 cording to the Guide) of equal parts of 
 bayberry root bark, poplar bark, and 
 balmony. The kind of poplar preferred 
 is what is known as stinking poplar, 
 although the white poplar may be used. 
 When any of the above are not obtain- 
 able, bitter root (dogsbane) and ^olden 
 seal may be used instead. 
 
 The "compounds" of number four are 
 (according to the Guide and the Ma- 
 teria Medica) : 
 1. 
 
 Balmony, 
 
 Bayberry,

 The U. S. P. recognizes it under this 
 title but gives no process. The U. S. 
 P. VIII description reads : Dithymol- 
 diodid, obtained by the condensation of 
 two molecules of thymol and the intro- 
 duction of two atoms of iodin into the 
 phenolic groups of the thymol ; it con- 
 tains 45 per cent, of iodin. Thymol 
 iodid should be kept in amber-colored 
 vials, protected from the light. 
 Thyroid, Dry. 
 
 This is recognized by the Brit. Pharm., 
 in which the process of preparation is 
 as follows : 
 
 Remove the external fat and connect- 
 ive tissue from thyroid glands taken 
 from sheep immediately after killing. 
 Cut the glands across, and reject any 
 which contain cysts, are hypertrophied 
 or are otherwise abnormal. Mince fine- 
 ly the healthy elands, dry at a tempera- 
 ture of from 32 to 38 deg. C, powder 
 the dried product, remove all fat by 
 treatment with petroleum ether, and 
 again dry the residue. 
 
 Dose, 3 to io grains. 
 
 Tinctures. 
 
 The tinctures of the U. S. P. are 
 usually made from crude drugs by ex- 
 traction in a percolator, using as a men- 
 struum alcohol, or mixtures in various 
 proportions of alcohol and water. The 
 drug, in a more or less fine condition, 
 is moistened with a small quantity of 
 menstruum, transferred to a percolator, 
 and, without pressing, is allowed to 
 stand, well covered, for 6 hours. The 
 drug is then oacked more or less firmly 
 and enough menstruum is poured on to 
 saturate it and leave a stratum of liquid 
 above it. When the liquid begins to 
 drop from the percolator, the lower ori- 
 fice is closed, and, having closely cov- 
 ered the percolator, macerated for 48 
 hours (sometimes 24 hours). Percola- 
 tion is then allowed to take place slow- 
 ly, menstruum being added gradually un- 
 til the required amount of percolate is 
 obtained. 
 
 The kind of percolator generally used 
 is that known as a cylindrical percola- 
 tor which is only very slightly tapering. 
 The percolator is best constructed of 
 glass, as this is most convenient for re- 
 tail pharmacy, but a percolator of any 
 other suitable material not affected by 
 drug or menstruum may be used. The 
 size of the percolator selected should be 
 in proportion to the quantity of drug 
 extracted. When properly packed in the 
 percolator, the drug should not occupy 
 more than twe-thirds of its height. The 
 percolator is nrepared for percolation 
 by first gently pressing a small tuft of 
 cotton into its throat, and this cotton 
 may then be moistened with a few drops 
 of menstruum to facilitate the passage 
 of the first portion of percolate, which 
 is often quite dense. 
 
 The rate of flow of percolate is regu- A 
 lated by means of a piece of rubber 
 tubing which is attached to the lower 
 orifice of the percolator by means of a 
 perforated cork and a short segment of 
 glass tubing. This rate of flow should 
 not exceed 8 to 15 drops per minute, 
 and by the expressions "slowly" and 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 451 
 
 "slow" percolation this rate is meant. 
 
 A few of the tinctures, such as those 
 derived from resinous substances, which 
 contain a large amount of soluble mat- 
 ter, are more conveniently and appro- 
 priately prepared by macerating the 
 coarsely powdered drug with the men- 
 struum for 7 days (sometimes 3 days), 
 in a stoppered container, occasionally 
 agitating, then filtering through absorb- 
 ent cotton or a plain paper filter. A 
 few other tinctures, besides those from 
 resinous drugs, are also prepared by 
 maceration, such as arnica, sweet orange 
 peel, cardamom compound, lavender 
 compound, lemon peel, opium camphor- 
 ated, squill and fresh herbs. The mac- 
 eration should be conducted preferably 
 at a temperature of about 15 to 20 deg. 
 C. and in a shady place. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. gives the following 
 specific directions for making tinctures : 
 
 The Process of Percolation. — Moisten 
 the drug, in a properly comminuted con- 
 dition, with the prescribed quantity of 
 menstruum, and set the mixture aside 
 in a closed vessel for 24 hours. Pack 
 the mixture in a percolator, lightly, 
 firmly or otherwise, according to the na- 
 ture of the drug. Pour over the con- 
 tents, at intervals, further portions of 
 the menstruum, always maintaining a 
 layer of liquid above the drug, and allow 
 percolation to proceed, slowly at first 
 and afterwards less slowly, until a suf- 
 ficient quantity of the menstruum has 
 been used to produce about three-fourths 
 of the volume of the finished tincture, 
 or until exhaustion of the drug has been 
 effected. When the liquid ceases to 
 pass, remove the marc from the perco- 
 lator and submit it to pressure. Filter 
 the expressed liquid, if necessary, either 
 at once or after standing, for 24 hours ; 
 mix the nitrate with the percolate, and 
 then add enough menstruum to produce 
 the prescribed amount of tincture. [The 
 U. S. P. directs percolation to be con- 
 tinued until the whole volume of tinc- 
 ture has been obtained, thus obviating 
 the expression and filtration.] 
 
 The Process of Maceration. — Mix the 
 drug, in a properly comminuted condi- 
 tion with the whole of the menstruum 
 in a closed vessel for 7 days, agitate 
 frequently, strain, press the marc, mix 
 the expressed liquid with the strained 
 liquid, and filter if necessary. [The U. 
 S. P. directs maceration with about 90 
 per cent, of the menstruum for 7 days, 
 agitating occasionally, filtering, and add- 
 ing enough menstruum through the fil- 
 ter to make the prescribed quantity of 
 tincture.] 
 
 The details and minor variations for 
 the preparation of tinctures are left to 
 the judgment of the pharmacist. A 
 cylindrical percolator, preferably of glass 
 or earthenware, may be employed in 
 most cases, of such dimensions as to 
 present to the menstruum a column of 
 drug at least six times as high as wide. 
 If a conical percolator be employed, the 
 lower diameter should be not less than 
 one-half the upper diameter. The pre- 
 liminary treatment for 24 hours may be 
 carried on in a closed percolator when 
 desirable. Any necessary clarification 
 may be effected by subsidence, filtration 
 or both. 
 
 For all tinctures for which no working 
 formula is provided by the U. S. P. or 
 N. F. or some other work of authority, 
 and the strength of which is not other- 
 wise specified by the prescriber, the N. 
 F. directs the following general process : 
 
 Drug, properly comminuted.av.oz. \ l / 2 
 Menstruum, to make fl.oz. 14^ 
 
 The choice of the menstruum will de- 
 pend upon the nature of the drug, and 
 in some cases upon the uses to which 
 the tincture is to be applied. In general, 
 it may be stated that, if the useful con- 
 stituents are soluble in alcohol, and but 
 slightly or not at all soluble in water, 
 strong alcohol should be used as a men- 
 struum. Whenever it is possible, and 
 consistent with the intended use of the 
 preparation, the alcoholic strength of 
 the menstruum should be made to ap- 
 proach that of diluted alcohol, the object 
 being not only to exhaust the drug of 
 
452 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 all its useful constituents, but also to 
 retain them in solution. 
 
 If the drug is fibrous and can be dried 
 and powdered without injury or loss of 
 useful constituents, percolation is pre- 
 ferable. If the drug is resinous, and 
 partly or almost wholly soluble in the 
 menstruum, or if it is fibrous and can- 
 not well be powdered without under- 
 going injury, maceration should be re- 
 sorted to. In the latter case, the drug, 
 comminuted as much as possible, should 
 be kept in contact with three-fourths 
 the full quantity of the menstruum, 
 in a moderately warm and shady 
 place — the term "moderately warm'' 
 signifying a temperature of 15 to 
 20 deg. C. — for two weeks, with oc- 
 casional agitation; the liquid portion is 
 then removed by pressure, and the resid- 
 ual marc displaced with sufficient men- 
 struum, either in a funnel containing a 
 cotton filter, or by remaceration and ex- 
 pression, until the full quantity of tinc- 
 ture is obtained, but in the case of re- 
 maceration, this should be done with 
 several portions of the menstruum. 
 
 The process of preparing tinctures by 
 percolation having been devised with 
 the primary object of securing 
 with celerity and economy products 
 of practically uniform and reliable com- 
 position, and having replaced the older, 
 and, in other respects, equally efficient, 
 process of maceration, . the lat- 
 ter may be resorted to in 
 any case, if economy or time is no 
 object, or if for other reasons it is 
 desirable to resort to maceration, pro- 
 vided this "alternative method" is car- 
 ried out as follows : 
 
 Reduce the dm? to the finest practi- 
 cable division, and having weighed out 
 the specified quantity, place it into a 
 stoppered bottle, and add the specified 
 menstruum in quantity equal to the to- 
 tal volume of tincture to be made. Then 
 macerate for at least two weeks, in a 
 moderately warm and shady place. When 
 required for use, decant the clear liquid 
 and filter it through paper; express the 
 
 residual marc, and having filtered the 
 expressed liquid through the same filter, 
 mix the clear filtrates. 
 
 For the preparation of the homeo- 
 pathic tinctures, see Tinctures, Homeo- 
 pathic. 
 
 The above remarks and directions al- 
 lude more particularly to tinctures pre- 
 pared from dry drug with alcohol or 
 water or mixtures consisting essentially 
 of one or both of these substances. For 
 tinctures prepared with mixtures of al- 
 cohol and ether, see Tinctures, Ethereal. 
 For tinctures prepared from fresh or 
 undried drugs, see Tinctures of Fresh 
 Herbs and Tinctures, Homeopathic. 
 Tinctures made with aromatic spirit of 
 ammonia or ammonia mixtures are 
 called ammoniated or volatile tinctures. 
 Examples are the amoniated tinctures 
 of guaiac and valerian.

 Mix the alcohol and water in the pro-

 of the latter. Moisten the drug with 5 
 fluidounces of this menstruum, transfer 
 it to a percolator, and, without pressing 
 the powder, allow it to stand, well cov- 
 ered, for 6 hours; then pack it very 
 firmly and pour on enough menstruum 
 to saturate the drug and leave a strat- 
 um above it. When the liquid begins to 
 drop from the percolator, close the low- 
 er orifice, and having closely covered the 
 percolator, macerate for 48 hours. Then 
 allow percolation to proceed slowly, 
 gradually adding menstruum until 16 
 fluidounces of liquid are obtained. 
 
 The product should contain, when as- 
 sayed, 0.05 ether soluble alkaloids in 100 
 mils.— U. S. P. 
 
 The tincture of the U. S. P. 1890 was 
 3 l / 2 times the strength of the above, 
 which fact may lead to considerable 
 confusion.

 powder with 14 fluidounces of a men- 
 struum composed of 3 volumes of alco- 
 hol and 2 of water, in a glass flask pro- 
 vided with an upright condenser, on a 
 water bath, at a temperature not higher 
 than 150 deg. C. during 12 hours, care- 
 fully avoiding loss of alcohol by vapor- 
 ization. After cooling, strain the liquid 
 by expression, and wash the residue with 
 enough of the same menstruum, again 
 expressing, to make 16 fluidounces of 
 liquid. In this dissolve the quinine sul- 
 fate, by the aid of a gentle heat, if nec- 
 essary. Then filter the tincture through 
 paper. — N. F.

 This preparation (containing aloes) is 
 to be dispensed when "Warburg's Tinc- 
 ture," without further specification, is 
 ordered. 
 
 Dosage. — This depends on the kind 
 of tincture used, whether with aloes or 
 without, and the intended purpose, and 
 varies from 1 to 4 fluidrams. The larg- 
 er quantity is given • when ' Dr. War- 
 burg's original directions are followed 
 for administering the remedy in remit- 
 tent fevers, which were as follows : 
 One-half ounce to be given without di- 
 lution, after the bowels have been evac- 
 uated by any convenient purgative, all 
 drink being withheld. After 3 hours, 
 another half ounce is to be given. 
 
 The original formula directed by Dr. 
 Warburg contained the old Confectio 
 Damocratis as one of the ingredients. 
 This is a very complex preparation, 
 many of the constituents of which are 
 unobtainable at the present day. 
 
 The formula of the Brit. Form, is al- 
 most the same as that of the N. F.,

 but the tincture takes up in solution 
 much of the animal fluids, besides honey 
 from the abdomen and pollen adhering 
 to the antennae. The drug strength of 
 the tincture varies, depending on the 
 season of the year when the bees are 
 secured. When they are dormant, their 
 poison is supposed to be less virulent. 
 
 Dilutions: 2x is to contain I volume 
 of tincture, 4 of distilled water, and 5

 made with dispensing alcohol. See Di-

 II. The Eclectic formula is slightly 
 different from the preceding and is as

 irritate them and then cover them with 
 alcohol ; after a few days, the liquid is 
 ready for use.

 porized by mixing equal parts of tinc- 
 tures of capsicum and of myrrh, but 
 such a mixture has only 80 per cent, of 
 each of the ingredients as given in the 
 above regular formula. 
 
 This was originally a Thomsonian 
 preparation. Thomson (in Guide and 
 the Materia Medica) generally used 1 
 ounce of capsicum and 1 pound of 
 myrrh to 1 gallon of high wines, fourth- 
 proof brandy or other strong spirit. 
 Other substances were somtimes added, 
 such as bayberry, golden seal, camphor, 
 oil of turpentine, etc. For rheumatism, 
 itch, etc., one-fourth part of oil of tur- 
 pentine was to be added ; for sprains 
 and bruises, a small amount of gum 
 camphor was to be added.

 To the ammonia water, diluted with 
 24 fluidounces of water, gradually add 
 the solution of iron, tersulfate, previous- 
 
 ly diluted with 40 fluidounces of water, 
 under constant stirring. Pour this mix- 
 ture, containing ferric hydrate as a pre- 
 cipitate, upon a wet muslin strainer 
 (which has been weighed, after having 
 been wetted and deprived of the excess 
 of water by moderate pressure), and 
 when the liquid has drained off, return 
 the precipitate to the vessel, and mix it 
 intimately with about 64 fluidounces of 
 water. Again drain it on the strainer, 
 transfer it once more to the vessel, and 
 treat it as before. Finally drain and 
 press the precipitate on the strainer until 
 it weighs 8^4 av.ounces. 
 
 Mix the fluid extract of cinchona with 
 8 fluidounces of alcohol, and add the 
 ferric hydrate previously prepared. Agi- 
 tate the mixture frequently, until the 
 tincture is deprived of tannin, which 
 may be known by the absence of a 
 blackish-green color when a small por- 
 tion of the clear tincture is treated with 
 a drop or two of tincture of iron chlo- 
 rid. Insert a plug of absorbent cotton 
 into a suitable percolator, and introduce 
 the mixture. As soon as the liquid 
 has disappeared from the surface, pour 
 on enough diluted alcohol to make the 
 product measure 16 fluidounces. 
 
 This preparation is practically iden- 
 tical, in strength of cinchona (without 
 the tannin), with the official tincture of 
 cinchona.

 Coto bark is derived from an unde- 
 termined tree, probably belonging to the 
 natural order Lauraceae, and is obtained 
 from Bolivia. There are two varieties 
 known, one as coto and the other as 
 paracoto bark. True coto bark is, at 
 
 times, difficult to obtain in the market. 
 and in N. F. IV paracoto bark has been 
 substituted for it. While they possess 
 some useful properties in common, yet 
 they differ materially in other respects. 
 Hence, the paracoto bark should not be 
 substituted for the true coto bark. —

 nient. Then dry the drug, preferably 
 by exposure to both sun and air to en- 
 tirely remove the benzin. Then extract 
 the drug by the U. S. P. process, con- 
 tinuing percolation until 15M fluid- 
 ounces of percolate are obtained. Neu- 
 tralize the latter carefully with ammonia 
 water, which will require about 1^ or 2 
 fluidrams. Then add diluted alcohol to 
 make 16 fluidounces.

 Tinctures of Fresh Herbs. ("Green," 
 "German" or "Specific" Tinc- 
 tures.) 
 
 According to the U. S. P., tinctures 
 of fresh (freshly-gathered) herbs, when 
 not otherwise directed, are to be pre- 
 
 pared by macerating 854 av.ounces of 
 the fresh herb, cut, bruised or crushed 
 with 16 fluidounces of alcohol in a 
 closed vessel, in a moderately warm 
 place, during 14 days, stirring occasion- 
 ally; then express the liquid with strong 
 pressure and filter it through a paper 
 filter. 
 
 The drug may be expressed by means 
 of a tincture press. 
 
 Tinctures of fresh drugs are in con- 
 siderable use and hence the above gen- 
 eral formula serves a useful purpose. 
 The so-called "green" or "German" 
 tinctures, sometimes also called "spe- 
 cific" tinctures, of the market, are tinc- 
 tures of fresh drugs.

 in a stoppered container, in a moderate- 
 ly warm place, with 12 fluidounces of 
 diluted alcohol, during 48 hours, agita- 
 ting frequently. Then filter through 
 absorbent cotton or a plain paper filter, 
 and, when the liquid has drained off 
 completely, pass enough diluted alcohol 
 through the residue to make the filtrate 
 measure 16 fluidounces. — U. S. P. 
 
 Gamber is the so-called pale catechu 
 and this tincture is intended as a sub- 
 stitute for the compound tincture of 
 catechu of former editions of the U.

 ing the drug, allow it to stand, well 
 covered, for 12 hours, then pack it 
 moderately and pour on enough men- 
 struum to saturate the powder and leave- 
 a stratum above it. When the liquid 
 begins to drop from the percolator, 
 close the lower orifice, and, having 
 closely covered the percolator, macerate 
 for 12 hours; then allow percolation to 
 proceed slowly, pouring on enough men- 
 struum to make 48 fluidounces of per- 
 colate.— U. S. P.

 II. The preparation of the Brit. Pharm. 
 differs from that of the U. S. P. only 
 in being made with one-half the pro- 
 portion of drug. 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. 1885 recognized 
 two tinctures of ginger; one was made 
 with somewhat more than 2 av.ounces 
 of drug to the pint of tincture (one- 
 fourth stronger than that of the present 
 Brit. Pharm.) ; the other, called "strong 
 tincture of ginger" (tinctura zingiberis 
 fortior), was made with %Va av.ounces 
 of drug to the pint of tincture. The 
 latter is now recognized by the Brit.

 Tincture, Homeopathic. 
 
 Tinctures (or alcoholic solutions of 
 solids and semi-solids) of homeopathic 
 pharmacy are made from a variety of 
 substances which are wholly or par- 
 tially soluble in alcohol. Such sub- 
 stances comprise all plants and parts of 
 plants, such as barks, roots, woods, 
 fruits and seeds, resins, gums, and bal- 
 sams. This list should also include min- 
 erals and chemicals which dissolve more 
 readily in alcohol than in water. 
 
 Substances such as phosphorus, and 
 also volatile salts, are better prepared 
 as solutions (tinctures, as they are also 
 called by homeopathists), than as tritu- 
 rations, in the making of which they are 
 volatilized. Such solutions are to be 
 often freshly prepared. 
 
 Most of the tinctures of homeopathic 
 pharmacy are made from fresh plant 
 parts and hence the method of prepara- 
 tion deserves especial treatment. All 
 fresh plant parts contain water, which 
 varies in amount, and in order to secure 
 uniformity of product, the dry crude 
 drug is taken as the starting point from 
 whence to calculate the strength of the 
 tincture. Hence the first thing to do is 
 to calculate the proportion of moisture 
 taking a small quantity of the fresh 
 plant part, weighing it, then drying it 
 by gentle heat on a water bath until 
 there is no further loss of weight, and 
 weighing again. The difference between 
 the weight of the fresh drug and that 
 of the dry drug is the weight of the 
 

 PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS.

 water contained in the fresh drug, and 
 for this allowance must be made in the 
 preparation of the menstruum. The 
 finished tincture is to contain in every 
 10 parts an amount of fresh drug equiv- 
 alent to i part of dry drug. 
 
 In giving the formula for homeopathic 
 tinctures, the amount of moisture or 
 water which should be present is stated. 
 If more is present, deduct the excess 
 present from the water directed in the 
 menstruum. If this cannot be done 
 (because of use of strong alcohol, or 
 for other reasons), the drug must be 
 cautiously dried until it is reduced to 
 the required weight. If the drug weighs 
 less than the required weight, add 
 enough water to bring it up to the re- 
 quired amount. It will be observed, 
 therefore, that the finished tincture con- 
 tains alcohol with the proportion of 
 water used with it in the menstrum 
 as well as with the water present in the 
 plant substance. 
 
 To illustrate the method of making 
 of tinctures, the following formula is 
 given : 
 
 Fresh drug containing sol- 
 ids gm. ioo 
 
 (plant moisture, cc. 185) 
 
 Distilled water cc. 200 
 
 Alcohol cc. 650 
 
 To make 1000 cc. 
 
 This means that if the drug used for 
 1000 cc. of tincture were dried, it would 
 weigh 100 gm. The water present in 
 the drug should weigh 185 gm. ; if it is 
 more the drug should be dried some- 
 what or proportionately less water 
 should be used in the menstruum; if it 
 is less, sufficient water should be added 
 to the drug to bring it up to this 
 amount. - 
 
 This formula translated into equiva- 
 lent ordinary terms is as follows : 
 
 Fresh drug containing solids.gr. 730 
 (plant moisture, av.oz. 3) 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 2> l A 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. ioj^ 
 
 To make 16 fluidounces.. 
 
 These tinctures are made by macera- 
 tion or by percolation of the drug with 
 the menstruum. Gummy or viscid sub- 
 
 stances, or such as are not readily pene- 
 trated by alcohol, are best extracted by 
 maceration. If the drug can be finely 
 sliced or bruised to pulp before adding 
 menstruum, this should be done; other- 
 wise it may be used whole. The drug 
 and menstruum should be placed to- 
 gether in a well-closed jar and macer- 
 ated for a period varying from 2 to 4 
 weeks, according to the nature of the 
 drug. Then decant the clear liquid and 
 express the residue. The product should 
 measure the total amount indicated in 
 the formula. 
 
 Sometimes it may be advantageous 
 to pour on only one-half of the men- 
 struum, to macerate for some time, ex- 
 press as before, triturate the residue 
 with twice its weight of powdered glass, 
 and to complete the extraction by per- 
 colation. 
 
 As a rule, maceration is employed in 
 the extraction of fresh drugs because of 
 the difficulty of extracting them by per- 
 colation. If the method of percolation 
 is used, the drug should be reduced 
 to a pulp in a mincing machine (meat 
 chopper). The drug is then to be packed 
 in a suitably-sized percolator in thin lay- 
 ers with alternating layers of moderate- 
 ly fine glass or fine white sand, then 
 adding menstruum to saturate the drug, 
 covering the percolator closely, macera- 
 ting for 24 hours or longer, according 
 to the nature of the drug, then allowing 
 the percolate to drop at the rate of 10 
 to 30 drops per minute, and continuing 
 the addition of menstruum (which 
 should be added frequently so as to 
 keep the drug covered) until the re- 
 quired amount of tincture is obtained. 
 
 In making a tincture by percolation, 
 a certain required amount of moisture 
 must be present in the drug exactly as 
 when making a tincture by maceration. 
 If more is present, less water must be 
 used in the menstruum or a portion of 
 it must be evaporated ; if less,«some wa- 
 ter must be added to the drug. 
 
 Tinctures of dry drugs are to be made 
 according to the above method of per-

 eolation, but the regular U. S. P. method 
 may be substituted for it, as it is not in-

 Distilled water only should be used 
 for these preparations. 
 
 Homeopathic tinctures are now usu- 
 ally made of the strength of the first 
 decimal dilution (ix or I in 10). In 
 making the dilutions, the diluent or ve- 
 hicle is described under each tincture.

 then pack it firmly in a cylindrical per- 
 colator, and gradually pour menstruum 
 upon it, until the drug is exhausted. 
 Reserve the first 9 av.ounces, evaporate 
 the remainder to 1 av. ounce, and mix 
 with the reserved portion. Of this tinc- 
 ture, take any convenient quantity, and, 
 by means of a water bath, evaporate it 
 to dryness. Weigh the resulting extract, 
 and from its weight calculate the quan- 
 tity of extract contained in the 100 parts 
 of tincture obtained ; then dissolve the 
 dried extract in the remainder of the 
 tincture, and add enough of the above 
 menstruum to make the product weigh 
 so many parts that each 100 parts by 
 weight of tincture shall contain 1 part 
 of dry extract. Lastly, mix thoroughly, 
 and filter through paper.

 bottle, add the iodine and shake until 
 dissolved. Then add sufficient alcohol 
 to make 16 fluid ounces. — U. S. P. 
 
 This formula differs from the U. S. P. 
 1900, which did not contain water, the 
 iodin and potassium iodid being trit- 
 urated together in a mortar. 
 
 This, as well as the 1900 formula, dif- 
 fers from that of previous editions, in 
 containing potassium iodid and is there- 
 fore similar to the tincture of iodin of 
 the B. P. and the compound tincture of 
 iodin of U. S. P. 1870. 
 
 The iodin and potassium iodid might 
 be dissolved in the alcohol, but solution 
 of the potassium iodid in the water has-

 of sufficient recently boiled water. Then 
 add the alcohol, mix well. Stopper the 
 flask, set it aside in a cool place for 
 twenty- four hours and then decant the

 mixture through cheesecloth. Preserve 
 it in small bottles, tightly corked, in a 
 cool place. — U. S. P. 
 
 It is believed that, in the present prep- 
 aration, the tendency to gelatinize is 
 largely eliminated. In any case this is 
 largely due to the introduction of air, 
 hence the directions to keep in small 
 bottles, so that the loss from this cause 
 may be slight. 
 
 The heating on the water bath is for 
 the purpose of destroying the oxydases 
 which are believed to cause the subse- 
 quent gelatinization of the tincture. 
 
 II. The Brit. Pharm. preparation dif- 
 fers from that of the U. S. P. 
 only in using 4 fluidounces of water 
 instead of z l A, in mixing the glycerin 
 and water with 8 fluidounces of alcohol, 
 instead of 10^4, in macerating for 12 
 hours instead of 24, and in straining 
 through cotton instead of filtering.

 and put into a suitable bottle ; add 32 
 fluidounces of benzin, cork the bottle 
 tightly, and set it aside for 48 hours, 
 frequently agitating the mixture. Pour 
 the mixture on a double filter, and allow 
 it to drain. Wash the residue by gradu- 
 ally adding 24 fluidounces of benzin. Al- 
 low the lacturcarium to dry by exposing 
 it to a current of air. When it is dry, 
 and free from the odor of benzin, reduce 
 it to powder, using more sand, if neces- 
 sary, and pack it moderately in a conical 
 percolator. Mix the glycerin with 2> X A 
 fluidounces of water and 8 fluidounces 
 of alcohol, and moisten the drug with 8 
 fluidounces of this mixture. When the 
 liquid begins to drop from the percola- 
 tor, close the lower orifice, and having 
 closely covered the percolator, macerate 
 for 24 hours. Then allow percolation 
 to proceed very slowly, gradually add- 
 in, first, the remainder of the men- 
 struum, and then diluted alcohol, until 
 the drug is exhausted. Reserve the first

 Tinctures, Normal. 
 
 The use of the term "normal" as ap- 
 plied to tinctures is confined to Eclectic 
 pharmacy, and it signifies that the prod- 
 uct, the "normal tincture," represents 
 the dry drug weight for weight. They 
 may be prepared from fresh or from 
 dry drugs or by the use of a greater or 
 less proportion of alcohol in the men- 
 struum, but the strength of the product 
 is always based upon the drug in a dry 
 condition. In the case of the tinctures 
 prepared from dry drugs, the menstruum 
 varies according to the nature of the 
 drug, but in the case of the tinctures 
 of fresh drugs, the drug is dried par- 
 tially, if necessary, and alcohol and wa- 
 ter added in such proportions that the 
 product will contain 50 p. c. of alcohol. 
 Good fluid extracts may always be dis- 
 pensed in place of the corresponding 
 "normal tinctures." 
 
 Normal tinctures are designated by 
 Eclectics for brevity's sake, as "tinc- 
 tures — ." Tinctures one-half the 
 strength of normal tinctures are called 
 semi-normal — ; one-fifth as quinti-

 fer the mixture to a percolator, return 
 the first portion of the percolate until it 
 runs through clear, and, when the liquid 
 ceases to drop, continue the percolation 
 with water until the opium is exhausted. 
 Concentrate the percolate by evaporation 
 on a water bath until it measures 2^/2 
 fluidounces, and, when cooled, shake it 
 frequently and vigorously for ro minutes 
 with 1 fluidounce of purified ben- 
 zin. Separate the benzin, repeat the 
 shaking out for a few minutes 
 with the remainder of the benzin, and, 
 having carefully and completely separa-

 drug strength about 1 part in 667. To 
 compensate for loss by oxidation, and 
 so retain the full strength of the solu-

 be kept in each bottle containing the 
 tincture, the same to be renewed when- 
 ever it becomes coated with the amor- 
 phous variety.

 Tincture of Podophyllin. 
 
 There are several formulas. Martin-

 the following: 
 
 I. Dobell's : 
 
 Podophyllin gr. 1 
 
 Tincture of ginger fl.dr. 1 
 
 Alcohol, to make fl.oz. 1 
 
 The dose is a teaspoonful in water at 
 bed-time, every night or every second, 
 third, or fourth night, as required. This 
 is reputed to act more satisfactorily 
 than podophyllin in pills. 
 
 II. Ringer's : 
 
 Podophyllin gr. 1 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 1 
 
 This dose is 2 to 4 drops in tea or 
 coffee, taken night and morning, and is 
 useful in sick headache and biliousness, 
 where the bowels and liver are sluggish, 
 in worried and overworked patients, 
 and in chronic diarrhea with cutting 
 pains and high-colored stools. The taste 
 is acrid and disagreeable. 
 
 III. Ammoniated Tincture: 
 
 Podophyllin gr. 1 
 
 Aromatic spirit of ammonia, .fl.dr. 1 
 The dose is 2 to 6 minims as an altera- 
 tive, 10 to 20 minims as a purgative and 
 cholagogue, taken in a wineglassful of 
 water or milk. Podophyllin will dis- 
 solve perfectly in the spirit. This tinc- 
 ture has the advantage that it can be 
 mixed with water, without causing the 
 resin to separate. The vehicle also acts 
 as a corrective.

 II. Homeopathic formula (from the 
 American Homeopathic Pharmaco- 
 peia) : 
 The fresh, plant, gathered when in 
 flower, is chopped and pounded to a 
 pulp and weighed. Then two parts by 
 weight of alcohol are taken, the pulp 
 mixed thoroughly with one-sixth part of 
 it. and the rest of the alcohol added. 
 After having stirred the whole, pour it 
 into a well-stoppered bottle, and let it 
 stand 8 days in a dark, cool place. The 
 tincture is then separated by decanting, 
 straining and filtering.

 allow it to stand, well covered, for 6 
 hours; then pack it firmly and pour on 
 enough of the same menstruum to sat- 
 urate the drug and leave a stratum 
 above it. When the liquid begins to 
 drop from the percolator, close the low-

 This tincture heretofore has been of 
 the strength of 5 per cent, but is now 
 10 per. cent. Also in nearly all the 
 other processes, such as that of the 1st

 stronger ether to remove oil, then dried, 
 and subsequently extracted with alcohol 
 to prepare the tincture, the ethereal ex- 
 tract being rejected. The extraction

 avoiding loss by evaporation. Next add 
 6 fluidounces of water, and allow the 
 mixture to become cold. Pour off the 
 milky liquid from the resinous precipi- 
 tate (which latter is to be rejected), 
 mix it with the magnesium carbonate, by 
 trituration, and filter. Lastly, pass 
 enough of a mixture of I volume of 
 alcohol and 2 of water through the

 Triturations. 
 
 The U. S. P. gives a general process 
 for making a class of preparations 
 known as triturations, as follows : 
 
 Weigh 1 part of the substance and 9 
 parts of sugar of milk in moderately 
 fine powder, separately. Place the sub- 
 stance, previously reduced if necessary 
 
 to a moderately fine powder, in a 
 mortar; add about an equal measure 
 of sugar of milk, mix well 
 by means of a spatula, and tritu- 
 rate the powders thoroughly together. 
 Then add fresh portions of sugar of 
 milk, from time to time, until the whole 
 is added, and continue the trituration 
 until the substance is intimately mixed 
 with all the sugar and the whole is re- 
 duced to fine powder. 
 
 These preparations are intended to be 
 dilutions in powder form of potent me- 
 dicinal substances. 
 
 For the triturations of homeopathy, 
 see Triturations, Homeopathic. 
 Trituration of Calcium Sulfid.

 The first decimal trituration may be 
 made by mixing 1 part of calcium sulfid 
 with 9 parts of milk sugar. 
 Trituration of (Wood) Charcoal. 
 
 Wood charcoal part 1 
 
 Milk sugar parts 99

 Triturations, Homeopathic. 
 
 Triturations of homeopathic phar- 
 macy are made by triturating solid sub- 
 stances with milk sugar, preferably in- 
 soluble solid substances, and reserving 
 soluble substances for making dilutions 
 (see Dilutions, Homeopathic). 
 
 To make the first decimal trituration, 
 rub together i part by weight of drug 
 with 9 parts by weight of finely pow- 
 dered milk sugar, and triturate until 
 the largest drug particles do not exceed 
 i/ioo of an inch in diameter. This rule 
 is inapplicable to moist and soluble sub- 
 stances, and relates chiefly to those 
 which are hard and practically insoluble, 
 such as metals and minerals. It will 
 be found difficult to reach the desired 
 reduction in any specified time, and 
 therefore the old one-hour time limit is 
 not to be depended upon, some sub- 
 stances being reducible in less time, while 
 most of the metals require more time. 
 
 The trituration obtained is the first 
 decimal trituration, which is designated 
 as ix. 
 
 The second decimal (2x) trituration 
 is made by triturating I part by weight 
 of the first decimal trituration with 9 
 parts of finely powdered milk sugar un- 
 til the largest drug particles do not ex- 
 ceed 1/2000 of an inch in diameter. 
 
 The third decimal (3x) trituration is 
 made from the second by rubbing with 
 9 times its weight of milk sugar until 
 the largest drug particles measure not 
 to exceed 1/4000 inch in diameter. 
 
 Higher triturations are made from the 
 next weaker trituration by incorporating 
 with it 9 times its weight of milk sugar. 
 
 Hahnemann's original method of ma- 
 king triturations was as follows : Take 
 100 grains of fine milk sugar and divide 
 it into three equal parts. Then add 1 
 grain of the drug to one of the three 
 parts of milk sugar in a mortar, mix 
 well with a spatula, then rub for 6 
 minutes with a moderate degree of 
 force. The trituration is then to be 
 scraped together during 4 minutes. An- 
 
 other third of milk sugar is then added 
 and treated exactly like the first third ; 
 then the last third is added and treated 
 in exactly the same manner. This pro- 
 duces the first centesimal (1 or ic) trit- 
 uration. The second (2 or 2c) is made 
 from the first by trituration of the first 
 with 100 times its weight of milk sugar, 
 and so on for the third and succeeding 
 triturations. 
 
 The centesimal trituration is no long- 
 er recognized by the standard homeo- 
 pathic work, the Pharmacopeia of the 
 American Institute of Homeopathy. 
 
 Tincture triturations are a class of 
 preparations different from the prece- 
 ding triturations in that they are made 
 from the strong tinctures, and conse- 
 quently contain the soluble constituents 
 only of the drug, and should be dis- 
 tinguished from triturations made from 
 the entire drug substance. 
 
 In making, add 10 cc. of the strong 
 tincture to 10 gm. of milk -sugar (or 
 90 minims to 85 grains), mix carefully 
 in a mortar with pestle and spatula, and 
 cover with a paper until the powder is 
 very nearly dry; then triturate gently 
 until quite dry, and preserve in glass or 
 porcelain jars tightly closed, in a cool, 
 dry place. 
 
 Succeeding triturations are to be made 
 by adding to each part of the next low- 
 er trituration 9 parts of milk sugar, and 
 triturating thoroughly. 
 
 These tincture triturations are akin to 
 medicated powders. See Medications, 
 Homeopathic. 
 
 Trituration of Iron (Ferrous) Car- 
 bonate. 
 
 A mixture of equal weights of sac- 
 charated iron carbonate, U. S. P., and 
 milk sugar makes the Homeopathic ix 
 trituration. See Triturations, Homeo- 
 pathic.

 This is an excellent remedy against

 der night and morning. 
 Trituration of Sepia. 
 
 Sepia is used in Homeopathic ix and 
 higher triturations. See Triturations, 
 Homeopathic. The lower triturations 
 require much time and labor in their 
 preparation, as sepia is difficult to re- 
 duce. 
 
 Sepia is a brownish-black substance 
 which is the dried inky secretion of the 
 cuttle fish. As it appears commercially, 
 it consists of a brittle solid mass, almost 
 tasteless, and having a faint smell of 
 sea fish. It breaks with a conchoidal, 
 shining fracture. The article prepared 
 for artists is unfit for medicinal use. 
 Triturations, Tincture. 
 
 See under Triturations, Homeopathic. 
 Troches. (Lozenges — Tablets— Pas- 
 tilles— Zeltchen— Trochisci.) 
 A number of troches are recognized 
 by the U. S. P. These consist, as a rule, 
 of medicinal solid substances mixed with 
 tragacanth or acacia and then made into 
 a mass with some water or syrup, or 
 else they are directly made into a mass 
 by the addition of mucilage, the mass 
 then being rolled out into sheets, and 
 cut into lozenges by means of a suitable 
 punch. After being cut, the lozenges 
 should be put into a warm place to dry. 
 The sugar used for making troches 
 should be of the very fine kind known 
 as "confectioners' sugar." 
 
 The Brit. Pharm. recognizes four 
 kinds of vehicles for troches, known re- 
 spectively as "fruit vehicle," "rose ve- 
 
 hicle," "simple vehicle" and "tolu ve- 
 hicle," and for preparing the troches, 
 the following general directions are 
 given : 
 
 Troches with Fruit Vehicle. — Take 
 100 times the quantity of drug ordered 
 for one troche and mix it intimately 
 with 3 av.ounces and 90 grains of finely 
 powdered sugar and 60 grains of pow- 
 dered acacia. Make the mixture into a 
 suitable mass with 2 fluidrams of mu- 
 cilage of acacia and 175 grains of black- 
 currant paste previously softened with 
 boiling distilled water, adding any addi- 
 tional water that may be necessary to 
 make the mass. Divide the latter into 
 100 equal troches, and dry them in a 
 hot-air chamber or other warm place 
 at a moderate temperature. 
 
 The mass may be rolled out like a 
 dough and cut with a punch. 
 
 The currant paste may be the article 
 of commerce or it may be prepared ac- 
 cording to the directions given under 
 Paste, Currant, which see. 
 
 Troches with Rose Vehicle. — Take 10a 
 times the quantity of drug ordered for 
 one troche and mix it intimately with 
 S T A av.ounces of finely powdered sugar 
 and 60 grains of powdered acacia. Make 
 the mixture into a suitable mass with 
 1 fluidram of mucilage of acacia and 
 sufficient rose water, and divide into 
 100 troches in the usual manner. Dry 
 them in a hot-air chamber or other 
 warm place at a moderate temperature. 
 
 Troches with Simple Vehicle. — These 
 differ from the preceding only in the 
 use of 2 instead of 1 fluidram of mu- 
 cilage and of distilled water instead of 
 water. 
 
 Troches with Tolu Vehicle. — Take 
 100 times the quantity of drug ordered 
 for one troche, dissolve what alkaloidal 
 salts may be ordered in 35 minims of 
 distilled water, and mix the solution in- 
 timately with 3 av.ounces and 175 grains 
 of finely powdered sugar and 60 grains 
 of powdered acacia. Thoroughly in- 
 corporate with this mixture any other 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 515 
 
 drugs ordered for the troches, and 35 
 minims of tincture of tolu. Make into 
 a suitable mass with 2 fluidrams of mu- 
 cilage of acacia and sufficient distilled 
 wat»?r, and divide into 100 equal troches. 
 Dry in a hot-air chamber or other warm 
 place at a moderate temperature. 
 
 The Germ. Pharm. states that the 
 troches (pastilles) are to be made by 
 compression or by massing with a suit- 
 able excipient, and forming into troches. 
 The 2nd Germ. Pharm. was more defi- 
 nite, stating that the medicinal sub- 
 stances should be mixed with sugar, 
 made into a plastic mass with diluted 
 alcohol and divided into troches which 
 should weigh 15 grains. 
 
 The Germ. Pharm. directs that choco- 
 late troches are to be prepared from the 
 drug, cocoa and sugar. The whole is 
 to be melted at a gentle heat and al- 
 lowed to cool partially when it is to be 
 divided into troches weighing 15 grains 
 each, unless otherwise specified. The 
 older Germ. Pharm. stated that equal 
 parts of cocoa and sugar are to be used. 
 
 In making sugar troches, confectioners 
 have other ways of preparing them be- 
 sides those given above. It is probable 
 that they use little or no acacia or trag- 
 acanth but rely mainly on syrupy glu- 
 cose as a binding agent. 
 
 For another form of troches, see Pas- 
 tilles, Glyco-Gelatin, which are prepared 
 from gelatin and glycerin. 
 
 The pastilles of the former Germ. 
 Pharm. were different from the troches. 
 They are directed to be prepared by 
 mixing the ingredients in powder form, 
 binding these with excipients and form- 
 ing into pastilles. Water is to be used 
 as an excipient for mixtures containing 
 sugar, acacia or tragacanth, and alcohol 
 for effervescent mixtures. Each pastille 
 is to weigh 15 grains unless otherwise 
 directed.

 Varnishes, Skin or Dermatic. 
 
 Unna has recommended the following 
 dermatic varnishes, which are intended 
 to form a smooth, adherent, artificial 
 skin, that may be medicated by various 
 substances. These, have been worked 
 out with the assistance of Beiersdorf. 
 Some of these varnishes are aqueous in 
 character, others are alcoholic. 
 Bassorin Varnish. 
 Unna recommends bassorin as a basis 
 for these varnishes, which is to be ob- 
 tained from tragacanth. 2*4 av. ounces 
 of powdered gum are to be rubbed with 
 water to a thin magma, and the mix- 
 ture filtered through a filter heated by 
 
 steam which retains cellulose, etc., and 
 permits the mucilage to pass through. 
 The latter is then evaporated so as to 
 weigh 15 av.ounces, and finally mixed 
 with glycerin. 
 
 The same kind of varnish may also 
 be obtained from salep. 384 grains of 
 this, in very fine powder, triturated with 
 16 fluidounces of cold water to a 
 smooth mixture, and then heated for 
 half an hour in a steam bath, yield a 
 preparation similar to the preceding. 
 Glycerin should be added to this like- 
 wise. 
 
 Both of these bassorin varnishes form 
 admirable vehicles for zinc oxid. 
 Casein Varnish. 
 The casein required for these prep- 
 arations may be obtained in the follow- 
 ing manner : 
 
 Milk deprived of fat (skim-milk) is 
 warmed at a temperature of 35 to 40 
 deg. C. with a small amount of rennet 
 or rennet essence until it coagulates, 
 and is then placed on a strainer. The 
 coagulated mass is washed, first with 
 common, then with distilled, water, un- 
 til the washings no longer have an acid 
 reaction, finally dried and reduced to 
 powder. This powder has a yellowish- 
 white color, is quite hard, feeling like 
 sand, insoluble in water, but soluble in 
 all alkaline liquids, forming a limpid 
 liquid. Glacial acetic acid as well as 
 lactic acid causes it to swell. The alka- 
 line solutions, though they pass when 
 highly diluted completely through filter 
 paper, are not clear, but milky. 
 
 The best alkali for dissolving the 
 casein is borax. The largest proportion 
 of borax which can be added without 
 crystallizing out is stated to be I part 
 for every 1 part of casein and 25 parts 
 of water. But casein is dissolved in 
 presence of much smaller quantities of 
 borax. The best varnish was obtained 
 by using the following proportions: 
 Casein, dried as above. .. .av.oz. 3 
 
 Borax gr. 160 
 
 Water fl.oz. 14^ 
 
 This solution dries rapidly and yields 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 521 
 
 a handsome, homogeneous, firm coating, 
 very suitable for holding such medicinal 
 agents as resorcin, pyrogallic acid, 
 chrysarobin, etc. 
 
 It has one drawback, namely, that 
 it does, not long hold substances like 
 zinc oxid, bismuth salts, white precipi- 
 tate, etc., in suspension, and that by 
 their precipitation the adhesiveness of 
 the varnish is injured. This was found 
 to be particularly the case with zinc 
 oxid. 
 
 Beiersdorf, however, ascertained that 
 this may be prevented by glycerin. Ca- 
 sein is retained by glycerin in form of 
 emulsion, if it has previously been dis- 
 solved in ammonia and the latter has 
 been allowed to evaporate completely. 
 This does not injure the adhesive prop- 
 erty of the casein. The mode of pro- 
 cedure is as follows: 
 
 Casein .- av.oz. I 
 
 Ammonia water, strongest 
 
 (28 p. c.) av.oz. 3 or y/ 2 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 1 
 
 Water, boiling sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the casein, in the cold, in the 
 ammonia water, add the glycerin, and 
 apply a gentle heat until the ammonia 
 is all dissipated. Then dissolve the 
 residual mass in twice its weight of 
 boiling water on a bath. 
 
 This Glycerin-Casein Varnish is very 
 elastic, dries well, forms an excellent 
 coating, and can be combined with a 
 great variety of remedies. Zinc oxid 
 does not separate so quickly from it. 
 
 All of the before-mentioned varnishes, 
 after being applied to the skin, may be 
 easily removed by washing with water — 
 most easily the last-mentioned one. 
 
 Alcoholic Balsam and Resin Varnishes. 
 1. Amber Varnish, for which the or- 
 dinary or commercial amber varnish 
 may be used after diluting it if neces- 
 sary with alcohol to suitable consist- 
 ence; or it may be prepared by dissolv- 
 ing amber in a mixture of alcohol and 
 oil of turpentine. It must not be used 
 for zinc oxid, but is very suitable for 
 chrysarobin and pyrogallic acid. 
 
 2. Castor Oil and Shellac Varnish, 
 prepared from 5 av.ounces of shellac, 1 
 av.ounce of castor oil, and 17^2 fluid- 
 ounces of alcohol. 
 
 3. Balsam Fir and Collodion Varnish, 
 prepared from 1 part by weight of bal- 
 sam of fir and 16 parts of collodion. 
 This is excellent for chrysarobin, not 
 so good for pyrogallic acid, very poor 
 for mercuric oxid. 
 
 4. Castor Oil and Collodion Varnish, 
 prepared from 1 part by weight of cas- 
 tor oil and 8 parts of collodion. This is 
 very good for zinc oxid, as it may be 
 made to hold one-ninth its weight of 
 this compound. 
 
 5. Lead Rccinoleate Varnish, pre- 
 pared by heating 1 part by weight of 
 lead oxid with V/t parts of castor oil 
 until saponified, lead ricinoleate beings 
 formed. This is then almost entirely 
 dissolved upon the addition of 2 parts 
 by weight of absolute alcohol. Large 
 quantities of zinc oxid may be incor- 
 porated with this varnish.

 Water (Aqua). 
 
 The U. S. P. VIII defined "aqua" as 
 "potable water in its purest obtainable 
 state" and describes it as "a colorless, 
 limpid liquid, without odor or taste at 
 ordinary temperatures, and odorless 
 when heated." It should be perfectly 
 neutral to litmus paper and must be 
 free from metallic impurities and not 
 possess more than the "limit" of am- 
 monia, soluble salts, sulfates, chlorids, 
 nitrates and organic or other oxidizable 
 
 matters, which "limits" are determined 
 by certain chemical tests. 
 
 Obviously therefore not every natural 
 or even potable water is suitable for 
 pharmaceutical purposes, and when the 
 matter is studied closely it will be found 
 that but few, if any, natural waters are 
 suitable. All natural waters contain im- 
 purities, the latter being sometimes so 
 abundant as to preclude the use of the 
 water for any purpose, pharmaceutical 
 or domestic, until it has undergone some 
 form of purification. The question of 
 a pure water supply is almost always an 
 urgent as well as vital one, especially to 
 densely populated cities. 
 
 The impurities of natural water are 
 mineral and organic, the former inclu- 
 ding various salts, such as chlorids, sul- 
 fates, nitrates and phosphates, the latter 
 free and albuminoid ammonia, other 
 sewage contaminations, and germs. Of 
 these, the germs, including among them 
 those causing typhoid fever, cholera, 
 diphtheria, and other infectious diseases, 
 are the only really dangerous or fatal 
 ones, the other impurities being danger- 
 ous only in so far as they furnish pabu- 
 lum for the germs. The harmfulness 
 Dr harmlessness of the impurities present 
 in water can not be judged by the pres- 
 ence or lack of odor, taste, clearness, 
 etc., as a bad-smelling, bad-tasting, tur- 
 bid water may be practically harmless, 
 whereas a clear, odorless, and tasteless 
 water may be reeking with germs. 
 
 Natural water may be purified in va- 
 rious ways as by subsidence, by filtra- 
 tion, by boiling, by precipitation or by 
 distillation. 
 
 1. Subsidence. — Some waters may be 
 purified, partially at least, by allowing 
 the water to stand until solid matter has 
 subsided, when the clear liquid may be 
 decanted and used. This method is 
 practical only for waters containing large 
 quantities of mud or clay; it would not 
 suffice to remove germs. 
 
 2. Filtration. — The filtration referred 
 to is through one of the numerous 
 charcoal or earthenware filters of the 
 
524 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 market. It is true that water filtered 
 through such an apparatus is of unusual 
 clearness and brightness, but this should 
 not be considered a guaranty of free- 
 dom from impurities, either organic or 
 mineral. The filter merely intercepts 
 the larger particles of suspended matter 
 but permits the smaller particles, in- 
 cluding the germs to pass through. 
 Water filtered in this manner therefore 
 contains practically all the original min- 
 eral and organic impurities. It is true 
 that the first portions of water which have 
 passed may be deprived of some of the 
 organisms, but, unless the interior of 
 the filter is thoroughly cleansed, this 
 very stoppage of germs and a portion of 
 other organic matter will cause a rapid 
 multiplication of germs with the result 
 that the filtered water will be even 
 more tainted than the unfiltered water. 
 
 3. Boiling. — This method of purifica- 
 tion is the best one mentioned so far, 
 provided the boiling has been continued 
 sufficiently long. Boiling effects several 
 changes in water; it expels gases; it 
 causes precipitation of the calcium car- 
 bonate if this has been held in solution 
 by carbonic acid gas ; and it will cause 
 destruction of all germs. A well-boiled 
 water (if boiled for about 5 to 10 min- 
 utes) is therefore perfectly safe for do- 
 mestic purposes, but may not be satis- 
 factory for pharmaceutical or chemical 
 purposes. 
 
 After boiling and cooling, the water 
 should be filtered, either through paper 
 or an eahthenware filter. 
 
 4. Precipitation. — The simplest, old- 
 est and best known method of purifica- 
 tion of water by precipitation is by 
 means of alum ; 15 to 30 grains of alum 
 are to be added to a gallon of water, 
 agitating until the salt is dissolved, then 
 setting aside. The amount of alum to 
 be used depends on the degree of im- 
 purity of the water, very impure waters 
 requiring more alum than those less im- 
 pure. After standing for some time 
 (from 15 minutes to several hours, al- 
 though over night is better), depending 
 
 also on the degree of impurity, the clear 
 water may be decanted from the sedi- 
 ment or it may be filtered. 
 
 Instead of adding alum itself to the 
 water, a ready-prepared solution of 
 alum, about 1 av.ounce to 1 pint, may 
 be used instead. 
 
 This is said to make a quite pure 
 water almost free from germs, but 
 whether absolutely free from the latter 
 is still a question. 
 
 Instead of the alum, nascent calcium 
 sulfate may be used, as follows: Add 
 60 grains of precipitated chalk to a 
 gallon of water, agitate, then add 6 l / 2 
 fluidrams of diluted sulfuric acid, agi- 
 tate, set aside for 12 or 24 hours, and 
 then use the clear liquid. 
 
 Keletzinsky's (Vienna, Austr.) meth- 
 od of purification of water has been 
 highly recommended. It is as follows: 
 
 Aluminum phosphate part 1 
 
 Ferrous phosphate parts 2 
 
 Magnesium phosphate parts 2 
 
 Phosphoric acid, 
 
 Distilled water, each sufficient 
 
 Mix the acid and water in the pro- 
 portion of 1 part of 85 p. c. acid with 4 
 parts of water or 1 part of 50 p. c. acid 
 with 2 parts of water. The freshly 
 prepared phosphates of aluminum, iron 
 and magnesium are to be dissolved in 
 sufficient of a mixture of the phosphoric 
 acid and water, solution being aided by 
 a gentle heat. This solution should be 
 filtered through paper. When finished 
 the solution can be kept on hand for any 
 length of time. 
 
 When required as a purifying agent 
 for water, the solution is to be added in 
 small quantities at a time to the water 
 until no further cloudiness is produced; 
 let the mixture stand to allow the pre- 
 cipitate to subside, and use the clear 
 water. 
 
 The mixture acts thus: The lime 
 salts usually contained in water will 
 abstract from the phosphates of alu- 
 minum, iron and magnesium a portion 
 of the phosphoric acid to form calcium 
 phosphate, and the compounds now 
 
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 525 
 
 formed will be at once thrown out of 
 solution. The magnesium will absorb 
 all the free ammonia, the ferrous oxid 
 will combine with the sulphuretted hy- 
 drogen and other gases of decomposi- 
 tion, while the alumina and calcium 
 phosphate will carry the suspended par- 
 ticles of impurity with them. A slight 
 excess of the phosphatic solution is in 
 no way objectionable. 
 
 Hager uses this so-called "tincture of 
 tannin" to make impure water potable : 
 
 Tannic acid gr. 120 
 
 Sugar gr. 60 
 
 Distilled water fl.dr. 3 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 6 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 Use 10, 15 or 20 drops to a glassful 
 of water. 
 
 A method which has been recom- 
 mended of purifying water with bromin 
 is as follows: 
 
 Bromin gr. 90 
 
 Potassium bromid gr. 90 
 
 Distilled water, to make fl.oz 1 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 Add 12 drops of this solution to 1 
 gallon of water, shake, and after 5 
 minutes, add 12 drops of 10 p. c. am- 
 monia water. When the water is very 
 impure and strongly calcareous, so 
 much bromin solution should be used 
 as will impart a yellowish tint to the 
 water which will persist for one-half 
 minute. 
 
 The product is a limpid, tasteless 
 liquid, practically free from germs. 
 
 A method of purification of water 
 which has been recommended when the 
 water is intended for making hypoder- 
 mic solutions and which is said to make 
 a product even superior to that pre- 
 pared by distillation, is as follows: 
 
 Treat one gallon of boiled water with 
 small portions, at a time, of potassium 
 permanganate solution (1 gr. to 8 fl.oz.) 
 until after .standing for an hour it re- 
 tains its pink color. Then add 5 grains 
 of alum, shake until the pink color dis- 
 appears, and filter three times through 
 iouble filters which have previously 
 
 been scalded to render them sterile. 
 The process should be conducted in 
 well-closed glass containers. 
 
 5. Distillation. — Distilled water is 
 the only water really suitable for phar- 
 maceutical and chemical purposes, but 
 still not all distilled water is 'good 
 water. In selecting the apparatus, there 
 is considerable choice. There are many 
 distilling apparatuses on the market, 
 and anyone may also arrange his own 
 distilling apparatus by connecting a ves- 
 sel suitable for a still with a condenser, 
 preferably using a Liebig condenser. 
 
 No continuous process of distillation 
 should be used but the U. S. P. method 
 should strictly be followed, viz.: 
 
 Water volumes 1000 
 
 To make volumes 800 
 
 Distil the water from a suitable ap- 
 paratus provided with a block-tin or 
 glass condenser. Collect the first 100 
 volumes, and throw this portion away. 
 Then collect 800 volumes and keep the 
 distilled water in glass-stoppered bottles 
 which have been rinsed with hot dis- 
 tilled water immediately before being 
 filled. 
 
 The still is then to be cleansed and 
 refilled if more distilled water is de- 
 sired, the process of distillation being 
 conducted as before. 
 
 The first 100 volumes contain the 
 volatile gases, including the free am- 
 monia ; the remaining 100 volumes con- 
 tain the solid matter. 
 
 A fairly pure natural water should be 
 used for making distilled water. 
 
 Distilled water, no matter how care- 
 fully prepared, may have a peculiar dis- 
 agreeable odor and taste. This may be 
 due to the use of a tin distilling appara- 
 tus, to the use of rubber connections, 
 or to the use of the distilling apparatus 
 for distilling all kinds of substances. 
 Only glass, block tin or heavy tinned 
 copper distilling apparatus should be 
 used, rubber connections should be 
 avoided as much as possible, and the 
 still should be reserved for the making 
 of distilled water only. 
 
526 
 
 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 Even with the utmost care, distilled 
 water is not absolutely pure water. Dis- 
 tilled water may be further purified by 
 adding to it enough potassium perman- 
 ganate to imoart a pink tinge, then 
 making it alkaline with caustic potash, 
 and then heating in an open vessel until 
 about 1/20 of the water has evaporated, 
 when all the ammonia will have been 
 dissipated ; the remaining water is then 
 to be redistilled. If the water still con- 
 tains ammonia add enough potassium or 
 sodium acid sulfate to "fix" the latter, 
 and redistil. 
 
 Waters. (Medicated Waters.) 
 
 The U. S. P. states that the medi- 
 cated waters, when prepared from vola- 
 tile oils are intended to be, as nearly as 
 practicable, saturated solutions which 
 must be clear, and free from solid im- 
 purities. In the processes which follow, 
 the solution of the volatile oils is facili- 
 tated by the use of purified talc (the 
 U. S. P. 1890 directed precipitated cal- 
 cium phosphate) ; but the solution may, 
 if preferred, be aided by replacing the 
 talc by pulped or shredded filter paper; 
 waters may also be made by the addi- 
 tion of volatile oils to hot water and 
 separation of the excess of the former, 
 or by distillation of the drug or vola- 
 tile oil with water, if by either of these 
 methods the finished product corres- 
 ponds in all respects with official re- 
 quirements.

 Water, Chlorin. 
 
 I. The U. S. Pharm. VIII discarded 
 the old-time chlorin water made by dis- 
 tillation of black oxid of manganese 
 with hydrochloric acid and in its stead 
 recognizes a "compound solution of 
 chlorin," which is transferred now from 
 the U. S. P. VIII to the N. F. Its for- 
 mula is as follows:

 Add the acid, diluted with 2.y 2 flui-

 :apacity of about 32 fluidounces. Insert 
 in the flask a stopper perforated to ad- 
 mit a funnel of the capacity of about 2 
 fluidounces containing about 75 grains 
 of absorbent cotton well wetted with 
 cold water; place the flask on a water 
 bath containing boiling water, for a 
 period of from 2 to 3 minutes; when 
 the flask is completely filled with a 
 greenish-yellow gas, remove it from the 
 bath and add cold distilled water 
 through the cotton in the funnel in two 
 separate portions of 8 fluidounces each. 
 After the addition of each separate por- 
 tion of cold distilled water, stopper the 
 flask securely, invert it, and thoroughly 
 agitate the contents. 
 
 The hydrochloric acid used in making 
 this preparation should be of U. S. P.

 If weaker, proportionately more of it 
 must be used. 
 
 This solution should be freshly made 
 when wanted. Even when preserved 
 from light and air, it deteriorates.

 I. 
 
 This is a saturated aqueous solution 
 of calcium hydrate prepared by slaking 
 90 grains of lime by the very gradual 
 addition of 6^2 fluidounces of distilled 
 water, and agitate occasionally during 
 one-half hour. Allow the mixture to 
 settle, decant the liquid, throw the lat- 
 ter away, to the residue add 58 fluid- 
 ounces of distilled water, agitate thor- 
 oughly, let the mixture stand for 24 
 hours, agitate again, then let the coarser 
 particles of solid matter subside, and 
 pour the liquid, holding the undissolved 
 lime in suspension, into a glass-stop- 
 pered bottle. From time to time shake 
 the bottle so as to keep the solution sat- 
 urated. Pour off the clear liquid when 
 it is wanted for use. 
 
 The lime for this purpose should not 
 be common building lime, but should be 
 prepared from marble or chalk. Lime 
 
 or calcium oxid made from marble may 
 be purchased in the market. 
 
 The product should contain not less 
 than 0.14 per cent, of pure calcium 
 hydroxid. The percentage of the latter 
 present varies with the temperature at 
 which the solution is prepared, being 
 about 0.17 per cent, at 15 deg. C, the 
 percentage diminishing as the tempera- 
 ture rises.

 Of course, rose water may be pre- 
 pared from oil of rose, but the product 
 is not so good, does not have the pleas- 
 ant, fragrant odor of the water prepared

 Some of them have been transferred to 
 the N. F., but the "red" and "white" 
 wines have been dropped altogether, di- 
 luted alcohol being used instead. One 
 reason for the deletion of the wines as 
 a menstruum was that they were of such 
 variable alcoholic strengths, and another 
 reason, perhaps the principal one, was 
 that they had to go, along with the other 
 alcoholic "beverages."

 STANDARD FORMULARY OF 
 
 Wine, White, Stronger. 
 
 White (sherry) wine fl.oz. 7 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. i 
 
 When tested for alcohol, stronger 
 white wine should contain not less than 
 20 nor more than 25 per cent, of absolute 
 alcohol by weight, and hence* the white 
 wine should contain from 10 to 12 p. c. 
 of absolute alcohol. If a weaker wine

 Mix 2 fl. ozs. alcohol with 14 fl. ozs. 
 sherry wine and macerate for 3 days, in 
 a covered vessel; then transfer to a per- 
 colator prepared for percolation and 
 allow the liquid to drain. When com- 
 pletely drained, pack the residue firmly, 
 and gradually pour on the menstruum 
 until the total percolate measures 16 
 fluidounces. Finally, filter the product, 
 if necessary, and keep it in well-stop- 
 pered bottles, which should be com- 
 pletely filled, and stored in a cool place.

 pared for percolation. Allow the per- 
 colator to remain well covered for 3 or 
 4 hours, then pack the moistened drug- 
 moderately firm, and pour on enough of 
 a mixture of V/2 fluidounces of alcohol 
 and 10 fluidounces of the wine to leave 
 
 a stratum above the drug. When the 
 liquid begins to drop, close the lower 
 orifice, and continue the maceration for 
 12 hours. Then allow percolation to 
 proceed slowly, gradually adding the 
 remainder of the mixture of alcohol and 
 wine, followed by enough wine to make 
 14^ fluidounces of percolate. In this 
 dissolve the sugar, add the talc, mix 
 thoroughly, then filter, returning the 
 first portions of filtrate to the filter un- 
 til it runs through clear, and finally add 
 enough angelica wine to make the fil- 
 trate measure 16 fluidounces. — N. F.

 Wood Wool. 
 
 Wood wool is used to some extent in 
 surgical practice in the plain and anti- 
 septic forms. It is a light woolly mass 
 which is capable of absorbing a large 
 quantity of liquid and has the further 
 advantage of cheapness.

 Wool Fat. (Adeps Lanse.) 
 
 Wool fat for pharmaceutical and cos- 
 metic purposes is the highly purified fat 
 of sheep's wool. The commercial brands 
 vary considerably in quality, but an al- 
 most odorless, yellowish white product 
 is now obtainable. 
 
 It appears in the market in the anhy- 
 drous and hydrous forms, the former 
 containing little or no water, the latter 
 containing 30 per cent, of water. Either 
 of these may be prepared from the other. 
 The anhydrous variety may be prepared 
 from the hydrous by heating the latter 
 on a water bath to expel the water. The 
 hydrous kind is to be used in making 
 
 preparations, compounding prescriptions, 
 etc., unless the hydrous is specified. 
 Both hydrous and anhydrous kinds are. 
 recognized by the U. S., Brit, and Germ. 
 Pharms. In each work the anhydrous 
 kind is known simply as "wool fat," 
 while the other is called "hydrous wool 
 fat." In the Brit. Pharm. it is directed 
 to make the hydrous kind by mixing 3 
 fluidounces of distilled water with 7 av.- 
 ounces of the anhydrous; the Germ. 
 Pharm. directs mixing 1 part by weight 
 of distilled with 3 parts of anhydrous 
 wool fat ; the U. S. P. does not make 
 mention of such procedure. 
 
Part II. 
 DOMESTIC AND VETERINARY REMEDIES. 
 
 DRUGGISTS' DOMESTIC PREPA- 
 RATIONS. 
 
 While this Part is not intended in any 
 sense as a treatise upon the manufacture 
 of proprietary medicines, it is proposed 
 to impart to the pharmacist such infor- 
 mation as he requires in preparing rem- 
 edies for ordinary ailments, for popular 
 use and sale. These remedies may be 
 offered by the pharmacist for sale under 
 his own name or that of a pseudonym, 
 if the latter be preferred. 
 
 Strictly toilet preparations, such as 
 freckle, tan and sunburn removers, hair 
 growers, etc., are mentioned in another 
 Part under "Perfumes and Toilet Arti- 
 cles." 
 
 Ague Cures. 
 
 Remedies for the relief and cure of 
 fever, ague, and chills, or, more proper- 
 ly, malaria, are not of such frequent use 
 as they were some years ago; however, 
 there is still a demand in some sections, 
 and the pharmacist must be prepared to 
 supply the want. Most of these rem- 
 edies are made to contain cinchona or 
 one or more of its alkaloids, sometimes 
 also arsenic and frequently some iron or 
 a cathartic. 
 
 These preparations may assume the 
 form of liquid or pills, or even some 
 other form, but the two mentioned are 
 the most common. They may be en- 
 titled Peruvian Ague Cure, Ague Tonic, 
 Ague Tonic Syrup, Ague Tonic Cure, 
 Chill Cure, Chill Tonic, Ague Pills, Anti- 
 Chill Pills, Cholagogue, Ague Remedy, 
 Ague Bitters, Ague Specific, Fever and 
 Ague Tonic, Febrifuge, Ague Specific, 
 etc. 
 
 Liquids. 
 
 The dose of these mentioned here is 
 one or two teaspoon fuls 3 times a day.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Ague Cures (Cont'd). 
 
 Powder the chinoidin, mix with the 
 other ingredients, warm gently to make 
 a mass and divide into ioo pills. 
 
 For chills and fever, take I to 4 pills, 
 according as they are intended for chil- 
 dren or adults, the dose being repeated 
 every 3 or 4 hours between the chills. 
 
 These pills are also recommended for 
 neuralgia when the dose for adults is 1 
 or 2 pills every 2 hours until relieved. 
 These pills are also useful, used as a 
 liver and laxative pill, as may be noted 
 from the ingredients. 
 Asthma Remedies. 
 
 The number of titles employed to des- 
 ignate asthma remedies is comparatively 
 small ; the following are appropriate : 
 Asthma Remedy, Asthma Elixir, Ant- 
 asthmatic Powder, Antasthmatic Rem- 
 edy, Asthma Cure, Asthma Mixture, etc. 
 Asthma remedies are of about three 
 kinds, one for internal administration, 
 one for inhalation, and one to be ignited, 
 the vapor to be inhaled. Favorite in- 
 gredients of the first kind are the alkali 
 iodids, ammonium salts, grindelia, wild 
 cherry, lobelia, belladonna, Hoffman's 
 anodyne, etc. 
 
 The liquid preparations for inhalation 
 contain amyl nitrite and oil of mustard. 
 Asthma remedies to be used by ignition 
 are usually composed of stramonium, 
 potassium nitrate, belladonna, etc.

 Reduce all to powder and pass through 
 a No. 30 sieve; then dry thoroughly. If 
 the potassium nitrate be fixed with 3 
 ounces of water, and the vegetable pow- 
 der be moistened with the solution, and 
 then thoroughly dried, it burns better; 
 but if all the ingredients are well dried, 
 and the niter is thoroughly mixed, this is 
 not necessary. 
 
 Papers. 
 
 IX. The Paper of Potassium Nitrate, 
 U. S. P., 1890, may be used. It is pre- 
 pared by immersing strips of white un- 
 sized paper in a solution of potassium 
 nitrate in 4 parts of water, and then dry- 
 ing them. 
 
 In using they are to be ignited and 
 the vapor inhaled. 
 
 Cigarettes. 
 
 X. Cigarettes may be prepared from 
 a mixture of equal parts of stramonium, 
 lobelia and belladonna leaves. These 
 may be cut to a very fine condition, then 
 rolled in suitable paper, and sealing the 
 ends to prevent the drug from falling 
 out by turning up the ends of the paper. 
 
 XL Another form of cigarette use- 
 ful for asthma is the following: 
 
 Sodium arsenate gr. 4 
 
 Extract of belladonna .gr. 10 
 
 Extract of stramonium gr. 10 
 
 Mix and dissolve in a small quantity 
 of water or diluted alcohol, with this so- 
 lution saturate a piece of blotting or 
 other bibulous paper large enough to ab- 
 sorb all of the liquid, then dry the paper 
 and cut it into 32 parts. Each of these 
 rolled into cigarette paper makes one 
 cigarette. 
 
 One of these may be smoked 3 or 4 
 times a day.

 Bitters. 
 
 The preparations known as "bitters" 
 were very much more common some 
 years ago than they are now. To a 
 large extent they are obsolete except in 
 some prohibition districts where they 
 are merely disguised tipples. These bit- 
 ters were recommended for a great va- 
 riety of disorders, including stomach af- 
 fections such as indigestion and dyspep- 
 sia, also malaria, liver and kidney com- 
 plaints, and constipation ; they were also 
 recommended as tonics in enfeebled con- 
 ditions and alteratives in diseased states 
 of the blood. They therefore contained 
 such ingredients as columbo, gentian, 
 cinchona, calamus, aloes, senna, man- 
 drake, culver's root, bitter orange peel, 
 juniper berries, buchu, hops, iron torn- 
 pounds, chamomile, wahoo, cardamom, 
 dandelion, burdock, cinnamon, prickly 
 ash, etc.

 saparilla, Compound Sarsaparilla with 
 Burdock and Iodid of Potassium, Com- 
 pound Syrup of Red Clover Blossoms, 
 Blood Purifying Tea, Alterative Mix- 
 ture, Blood Cleanser, or whatever other 
 title may seem appropriate or desirable. 
 The ingredients of these mixtures are 
 sarsaparilla, stillingia, burdock, yellow 
 dock, red clover, any one or more of 
 these combined, sometimes with potas- 
 sium iodid, often with some laxative. 
 Blood purifying mixtures are in fact 
 mainly cathartics. Sometimes the ca- 
 thartic principle present is a saline like 
 sodium sulfate or rochelle salt, some- 
 
 times it is senna, mandrake, buckthorn, 
 cascara sagrada, etc. 
 
 Formerly all blood purifiers were pre- 
 pared in the liquid form: latterly some 
 are prepared in the form of "teas," or 
 species. Examples of both kinds are 
 given among the recipes that follow. The 
 "teas" may be termed Blood Purifying

 Boils and Carbuncles, Treatment for. 
 A boil is an acute inflammation of the 
 deeper layers of the skin and adjacent 
 connective tissues and is due to staphy- 
 lococcus infection by way of the hair 
 follicles. A carbuncle is similar, but is 
 larger and more serious. The method of 
 treatment is very much the same. The 
 old-time method of treatment for boils 
 was to "bring them to a head" by means 
 of repeated applications of hot linseed 
 poultice. However, any hot applications 
 continuously applied will serve the same 
 purpose ; cloths wrung with hot water or, 
 better, hot boric acid solution, will serve 
 well. Instead of any of these, the so- 
 called mother or Hamburg plaster (see 
 formula in Part I) may be used. If the 
 boil is not too far advanced it may pos- 
 sibly be aborted. Various methods of 
 treatment are outlined below.

 Melt the plasters and incorporate the 
 other ingredients.. 
 
 These are intended to be applied once 
 or twice daily on a cloth. 
 
 II. This is another method of treat- 
 ment:

DOMESTIC PREPARATIONS. 
 
 551 
 
 Use, locally, camphorated carbolic acid 
 and poultice of linseed meal when there 
 is much inflammation. Also advise small 
 doses of epsom salts to prevent constipa- 
 tion. 
 
 III. The following formulas are for 
 what is called the modern treatment of 
 boils and carbuncles : 
 A. 
 
 Chloroform fl.oz. I 
 
 Oil of clove fl.dr. i^ to 5 
 
 Creosote m. 15 to 30 
 
 Liniment of camphor fl.oz. 2 
 
 B. 
 
 Mercury salicylate gr. 2 to 5 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 15 to 30 
 
 Alcohol av.oz. 1 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 4 
 
 Dissolve the solids in the alcohol and 
 add the water. 
 
 These are to be used externally only. 
 The affected part is covered with com- 
 presses saturated with either of the 
 above liquids. At the same time one of 
 the following preparations is to be in- 
 jected into the boil or carbuncle. 
 
 C. 
 
 Carbolic acid gr. 1 to 3 
 
 Sodium salicylate gr. 15 
 
 Sodium borate gr. 15 
 
 Glycerin m. 30 
 
 Chloroform water fl.dr. 2

 Carbolic acid gr. 2 
 
 Ether fl.dr. ^ to I 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 1 y 2 or 1 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 This treatment is said to give excellent 
 results and to do away with a more radi- 
 cal surgical operation even in cases of 
 carbuncle. 
 Bunion Cures. 
 
 The remedies recommended for the re- 
 lief and cure of corns are usually also 
 recommended for the removal of bun- 
 ions. While these remedies often do af- 
 ford relief, the two maladies are almost 
 as distinct as they could possibly be. 
 Corns are inflammations of the skin, 
 
 whereas bunions are inflammations of 
 the synovial membrane, which connects 
 the great toe with the foot proper. Noth- 
 ing less than surgical operation will ab- 
 solutely and permanently cure bunions. 
 
 Relief to bunions is often afforded as 
 stated by the application of corn cures, 
 assisted by frequent bathing in hot wa- 
 ter. Frequently anointing with petrola- 
 tum, the application of tincture of iodin 
 or of iodin ointment, or the wearing of 
 a rubber protector will prove beneficial. 
 A warm flaxseed-meal poultice at night 
 often eases a great deal. 
 
 Shoemaker recommends the following 
 paint : 
 
 Carbolic acid fl.dr. 2 
 
 Tincture of iodin fl.dr. 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.dr. 2 
 
 To be applied with a camel's hair pen- 
 cil every day. Copper oleate plaster is 
 also advised by the same authority. 
 
 Painting on of tincture iodin may help 
 by promoting absorption of the exu- 
 dates; 50 per cent ointment of ichthyol 
 with hydrous wool-fat is useful. In case 
 the inflammation becomes too severe, ap- 
 ply Lotion of Lead and Opium (see for- 
 mula in Part I). 
 
 Burns and Scalds, Applications for. 
 I. In burns and scalds it is of first 
 importance for the relief of pain to pro- 
 tect the part from the air. A great 
 many remedies have been used for this 
 purpose. Besides being protective, they 
 should also be antiseptic, or at least asep- 
 tic. One of the most popular applica- 
 tions is carron oil, made of equal parts 
 of lime water and linseed oil. The ad- 
 dition of carbolic acid, salol or thymol 
 is suggested as in the following : 
 
 Thymol gr. 75 
 
 Raw linseed oil fl.oz. 8 
 
 Lime water fl.oz. 8 
 
 Dissolve the thymol in the oil, add the 
 water, and shake well. 
 
 Olive oil or other bland fixed oil may 
 
 be substituted for the linseed oil, but the 
 
 latter has the best reputation for this 
 
 purpose. 
 
 This mixture is to be applied freely.

 ■with or without cloths or by means of a 
 cotton pad, whichever may be most con- 
 venient. After a few days, apply zinc 
 oxid ointment or else use the following : 
 Bismuth subnitrate av.oz. I 
 
 Boric acid 
 
 .av.oz. 
 
 Olive oil fl.oz. 2 
 
 Wool-fat, hydrous av.oz. 6 
 
 II. A saturated solution of picric acid 
 in water applied continuously on cloths 
 has proved of great efficacy in relieving 
 the pain caused by burns and in promot- 
 ing healing. A proprietary preparation 
 now on the market highly advocated for 
 burns is said to be nothing more than 
 an aqueous solution of picric acid. The 
 solution may be applied on thick cloths 
 or a pad of cotton. 
 
 III. The following preparation, de- 
 vised by the late Charles Rice, is said to 
 be popular in New York: 
 
 Gelatin av.oz. 15 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 2 
 
 Carbolic acid fl.dr. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 32 
 
 Soak the gelatin in the cold water un- 
 til it is soft, then heat on a water bath 
 until it is dissolved. Add the glycerin 
 and continue heating until a firm, glossy 
 skin begins to form on the surface of 
 the mixture during the intervals between 
 stirring. Now add the carbolic acid and 
 mix well. 
 
 The mixture may be kept ready pre- 
 pared, and is best preserved in well- 
 closed glass or porcelain jars. When it 
 is wanted for use it is heated on a water 
 bath until just melted and applied with a 
 soft, flat brush over the burned part, 
 where it will form a strong, flexible 
 skin. 
 
 This preparation is said to be very ef- 
 fective, being superior to carron oil and 
 similar preparations ordinarily used. 
 
 IV. Unna's burn salve is composed 
 of: 
 
 Wool-fat, anhydrous part 1 
 
 Benzoinated lard parts 2 
 
 Lime water parts 3 
 
 V. Some of the preparations under 
 
 the heading Ointments or Salves, may 
 also be utilized. Liniment of Turpen- 
 tine (see formula in Part I) is also used 
 for burns. 
 Canker Sore-Mouth. 
 
 Canker, also called thrush and spruce, 
 is a disease of infanc3 r , and is due to im- 
 proper feeding and poor digestion. It 
 appears as white spots, of greater or less 
 size, in the mouth and throat. These 
 spots are due to micro-organisms. Can- 
 ker is more common in infants fed on 
 artificial food than in those fed or 
 breast-milk, and in such cases may be 
 accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, fev- 
 erishness, etc. It will be surmised that 
 the local treatment should be supple- 
 mented by treatment directed towards 
 the removal of the cause. Castor oil to 
 cleanse the intestinal tract and antifer- 
 mentative preparations to prevent fer- 
 mentation of food are in order, also 
 change of diet. 
 
 For local application the most popular 
 remedy is honey and borax, which is 
 smeared on with a soft cloth or with the 
 ringers or by means of a camel-hair pen- 
 cil, 3 or 4 times a day. A solution of 
 borax in glycerin may also be used as 
 in the following : 
 
 Borax av.oz. 1 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 2 
 
 Distilled water, to make fl.oz. 8 
 
 Infusion of gold thread is also a pop- 
 ular and effective application, though not 
 so pleasant to the child as either of the 
 preceding. 
 
 If the disease still persists, the spots 
 should be touched occasionally with 
 burnt alum or a piece of copper sulfate 
 or the mouth washed with a weak solu- 
 tion of silver nitrate or zinc sulfate, as 
 follows : 
 
 Zinc sulfate gr. 5 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Cancer, Local Treatment of. 
 
 Arsenic is the chief ingredient of most 
 of the local applications recommended 
 for the cure of cancer. Zinc chlorid in 
 solution is also used, as is also a com-

 bination of this with arsenic. One of 
 the best known preparations is Mars- 
 den's Cancer Paste. This consists of 
 arsenous acid, two parts, and mucilage 
 of acacia, one part, made into a paste. 
 Its application causes considerable pain 
 and is sometimes replaced by Bougard's 
 paste, which is less painful, forms a 
 more dry and friable slough, can be 
 safely applied to a larger surface and 
 can be kept ready for instant use. With 
 both pastes the surfaces must be denud- 
 ed, if not already ulcerated, by caustic 
 potash, to render the action prompt and 
 effective in the shortest possible time. 
 Bougard's formula is as follows : 
 
 Wheat flour av.oz. I 
 
 Starch av.oz. I 
 
 Arsenic gr. 7 
 
 Mercuric sulfid gr. 36 
 
 Ammonium chlorid gr. 36 
 
 Mercuric chlorid gr. 4 
 
 Solution of zinc chlorid. . . .av.oz. 4 
 The first six substances are separately 
 reduced to fine powder. They are then 
 mixed in a porcelain or glass mortar, 
 and the solution of zinc chlorid slowly 
 poured in, while the contents are kept 
 rapidly rotated with the pestle so that no 
 lump will be formed. A thick layer of 
 this is spread on cotton and left in po- 
 sition 24 hours, and then managed in 
 every way as is Marsden's paste. Few 
 cases require a second application. The 
 ulcer may be dressed with peru balsam 
 or aristol ointment of varying strengths, 
 according to the stimulation required, 
 and all exuberant granulations are to be 
 kept in check by the usual methods. 
 
 Another local preparation for cancer 
 is Esmarch's Painless Cancer Powder, 
 which is said to contain arsenous acid 10 
 grains, morphine hydrochlorid 10 grains, 
 calomel 80 grains, acacia 480 grains. 
 
 Applications of this character should 
 never be made under the direction of in- 
 competent persons. Arsenic as a caustic 
 is not only in its action difficult to regu- 
 late, but dangerous symptoms of poison- 
 ing have resulted from the very ready 
 way in which it is absorbed by the skin. 
 
 The same remarks apply with equal 
 force to mixtures containing zinc chlorid, 
 tartar emetic and other escharotics. It 
 is the physician's duty to recommend 
 how they shall be used. 
 Catarrh and Cold-in-the-Head, Eem- 
 edies for. 
 
 The acute form of inflammation of the 
 mucous membrane of the nose is known 
 as coryza or acute rhinitis, the chronic 
 form is called chronic rhinitis or chronic 
 nasal catarrh. In popular parlance the 
 latter is called catarrh, the former cold- 
 in-the-head. Acute rhinitis may lead to 
 bronchitis or to catarrh. Both of these 
 disorders are very common in various 
 parts of the United States. Catarrh, 
 when it has acquired a firm hold on the 
 individual, requires practically constant 
 treatment. 
 
 The remedies for catarrh are multi- 
 form. Some are snuffs, others are to be 
 used by inhalation, some by spraying, 
 others by insufflation or by injection 
 with syringe or a douche. Others again 
 are in the form of an ointment, which 
 is to be applied to the interior of the 
 nostrils, then to be snuffed up ; and fin- 
 ally* others again are to be taken intern- 
 ally, the latter containing tonics com- 
 bined with some agent which diffuses it- 
 self through the system and thus at- 
 tacks the local manifestations of the dis- 
 ease. 
 
 The snuffs contain various agents, the 
 most conspicuous being cocaine, the in- 
 discriminate or careless use of which 
 cannot be too severely condemned. Pur- 
 chasers of such snuffs should invariably 
 be warned that the cocaine habit is, of 
 all forms, probably the most horrible, 
 and that great danger attends its use in 
 catarrh snuffs. It should never be rec- 
 ommended in cases of chronic catarrh 
 where its use would be liable to prove 
 continuous. The sale of cocaine snuffs 
 is prohibited by law in many States. 
 
 The catarrh remedies used by inhala- 
 tion contain either menthol or iodin com- 
 bined with carbolic acid. Those used by

 Catarrh Remedies (Cont'd). 
 
 spraying (with nasal atomizers) contain 
 liquid petrolatum, having in solution 
 menthol, thymol and various antiseptic 
 volatile oils. The catarrh ointments con- 
 tain ingredients similar to those of the 
 preceding. They are usually made with 
 thymol or menthol with some oil, to- 
 gether with boric acid or bismuth salt 
 and petrolatum. Alkaline and antiseptic 
 washes or sprays are also used. 
 
 Besides the ordinary cold in the head, 
 there is also the similar disorder influ- 
 enza or la grippe. This is a disease of 
 microbic origin, but in its milder forms 
 it seems to the patient nothing more 
 than a cold in the head and is treated 
 similarly. In its severer forms it is so 
 depressing and prostrating that the pa- 
 tient is compelled to go to bed and must 
 have suitable attention from a physician. 
 The preparations for cold-in-the-head 
 are generally in the form of tablets or 
 capsules, sometimes cachets. Usually 
 they are called "cold cures," "anti-grip 
 cures," "coryza tablets," etc. The use of 
 a nose wash like Dobell's or Seiler's So- 
 lution in conjunction with a "cold cure" 
 gives a great deal of relief and comfort. 
 
 Good titles for catarrh remedies are 
 Catarrh Remedy, Catarrh Cure, Catarrh 
 Snuff, Catarrh Jelly, Cream Balm, Ca- 
 tarrh Balm, Catarrhine, Menthol Snuff, 
 Mentholin, etc. 
 
 Snuffs. 
 
 Besides being used for catarrh, it is 
 said that if these preparations are used 
 in the early stages of colds and influenza 
 it will "break them up."

 This is a specimen of a snuff contain- 
 ing cocaine, but its use is not advised. It 
 is beneficial when used in moderation 
 for a short period of time, but its con- 
 tinued use will result in the dreaded co- 
 caine habit. 
 
 The above mentioned all contain and 
 may be sold as "menthol snuff" or "men- 
 tholin." 
 
 Some snuffs are intended to produce 
 sneezing. A well-known proprietary ar- 
 ticle of this kind is said to be merely 
 powdered bayberry bark. Other sneeze 
 producing mixtures are the following : 
 
 IV. A specimen of a bismuth powder 
 is the Anticatarrhal Powder of the N. F. 
 (see formula in Part I). 
 
 V. Other catarrh snuffs are men- 
 tioned in Volume I under Snuffs. 
 
 Oil Sprays. 
 These mixtures are intended for 
 spraying into the nose by means of a 
 nasal atomizer. They consist usually of 
 combinations of menthol, thymol, anti- 
 septic volatile oils, etc., dissolved in li- 
 quid petrolatum (paraffin oil). The lat- 
 ter should be of a high grade of purity, 
 such as is now easily obtainable in the 
 market. The menthol, thymol or other 
 solid should be perfectly dissolved as 
 otherwise it will clog the atomizer.

 Aqueous Sprays. 
 These are usually of an alkaline char- 
 acter, sometimes with an antiseptic vola- 
 tile oil or with menthol, dissolved in 
 water with or without alcohol or with 
 glycerin ; or the spray may contain iodin. 
 They are to be used in a nasal atomizer. 
 
 IX. Examples of this class of sprays 
 are Dobell's or Seller's Solution (see 
 formula in Part I), or Sajou's formula 
 may be used, which is as follows:

 Use this without dilution. 
 
 Ointments. 
 
 Preparations in ointment form for use 
 
 in nasal catarrh are quite popular. They 
 
 have the same medicinal ingredients as 
 
 the ©il sprays which are made into a 
 
 soft ointment with white petrolatum. 
 They may be dispensed in tin boxes or 
 in collapsible tubes. 
 
 In using these ointments, introduce a 
 small amount into the nostrils and snuff 
 it up as far as possible. These are ap- 
 plied several times daily. Customary 
 names for these preparations are "ca- 
 tarrh jelly, "catarrh cream," "cream 
 balm" and "catarrh balm."

 Bor acid gr. 80

 Melt the petrolatum at a gentle heat 
 and incorporate the other ingredients. 
 Douches. 
 Various combinations in aqueous form 
 are used either by insufflation (snuffing 
 into the nose from the palm of the 
 hand) or preferably by means of a 
 douche. The latter may be the old-style 
 glass or tin vessel hung on the wall with 
 a rubber tube attached or the more mod- 
 ern all-glass affair of the shape of a 
 wide tube closed at one end, the other 
 end bent and terminating in a stubbed tip 
 with a perforation through which the li- 
 quid flows into the nostrils. In using the 
 former a large amount of liquid is al- 
 lowed to flow through the nostrils, hence 
 greater dilution of the medicating sub- 
 stance is required and, on account of its 
 volume, the liquid must be used luke- 
 warm. The resultant cleansing of the 
 mucous membrane is as beneficial as the 
 contact of the medicating substances. 
 
 The more modern style of glass 
 douche described above has the advan- 
 tage of being small and readily carried 
 about, and it may be used at any time or 
 place, only a small volume of liquid be- 
 ing required. When used, the requisite 
 amount of medicating solution (usually 
 one or two teaspoonfuls) is put into the 
 douche, and the latter filled about three-

 fourths with water (about one ounce), 
 which is preferably, though not necessar- 
 ily, lukewarm; the open end of the 
 douche is then applied to one of the nos- 
 trils, the head is tipped back when the 
 liquid runs through the nasal cavity; 
 after a minute or two the head to be 
 thrown forward when the excess of li- 
 quid will run back into the douche. 
 
 The liquids used as douches are any 
 of the preparations mentioned under 
 Aqueous Sprays, or Lister's or Seiler's 
 Antiseptic Solution, Dobell's Solution or 
 Alkaline Antiseptic Solution (see formu- 
 las in Part I), or Sajou's Solution, or

 Powders. 
 Preparations in powder form for the 
 treatment of catarrh are nearly obso- 
 lete. They were designed to be made 
 into an infusion (extracted) by the 
 patient with water, and the liquid used 
 in a douche. They are composed of 
 such ingredients as golden seal, sodium 
 chlorid, sodium bicarbonate, potassium 
 chlorate, carbolic acid, etc. The follow- 
 ing is an example : 
 XV. 
 
 Sodium chlorid gr. 240 
 
 Potassium chlorate gr. 100 
 
 Ammonium iodid gr. 4 
 
 Carbolic acid drops 20 
 
 Camphor, powder gr. 16 
 
 Golden seal, powder gr. 40 
 
 Mix well. 
 
 This is to be treated with water to 
 make an infusion, which latter is then 
 to be used by insufflation or in a douche. 
 
 Tablets. 
 
 Tablets for use in nasal catarrh are 
 used to some extent. They are made 
 to contain similar ingredients to the 
 alkaline aqueous sprays or to Seiler's 
 
 Antiseptic Solution (the so-called Seil- 
 er's Tablets), the sodium bicarbonate, 
 sodium borate, volatile oils, menthol, 
 thymol, eucalyptol, carbolic acid, and 
 other medicating ingredients being 
 mixed and formed into compressed tab- 
 lets. Manufacturing pharmaceutical 
 houses list various combinations of this 
 kind in their catalogues. The follow- 
 ing is also an excellent combination:

 Sugar of milk powder to make a 5-gr. 
 tablet. 
 
 Dissolve one in about one-half fluid- 
 ounce of water and use in a nasal 
 douche. 
 
 XVII. The following is the com- 
 position of the tablet known as Mur- 
 ray McFarlane's Plasma Nasal Tablet: 
 
 Sodium chlorid gr. 5 1/2 
 
 Sodium sulfate gr. 1 1/2 
 
 Sodium phosphate gr. 1/4 
 
 Potassium chlorid gr. 2/5 
 
 Potassium sulfate gr. 1/4 
 
 Potassium phosphate gr. 1/3 
 
 Menthol gr. 1/15 
 
 This formula is based upon the com- 
 position of the blood. One tablet dis- 
 solved in 2 fluidounces of distilled water 
 has approximately the same composi- 
 tion (except the menthol) and specific 
 gravity as blood serum and hence it is 
 entirely unirritating to the mucous mem- 
 brane and is perfectly adapted for use 
 as a douche or a spray. The menthol 
 is used for its soothing effect. 
 
 Inhalants. 
 
 XVIII. Menthol is an excellent agent 
 for treatment of catarrh by inhalation. 
 It is commonly put up in vessels more 
 or less resembling tubes, which may 
 be opened at both ends to permit free 
 circulation of air through the tube when 
 in use, and which may be closed tightly 
 when not in use.

 This solution is to be dropped upon 
 absorbent cotton contained in a wide- 
 mouth bottle. The vapor is to be in- 
 haled frequently. 
 
 Internal Treatment. 
 Remedies for the internal treatment 
 of catarrh are intended to contain such 
 ingredients as will diffuse themselves 
 through the system and thus in this 
 indirect way are supposed to attack the 
 disease. The following two formulas 
 are preparations of this kind. However, 
 the internal treatment should always be 
 supplemented by the use of a douche 
 or spray.

 Grip and Cold Bemedies. 
 
 The number of preparations offered 
 for the cure of "cold-in-the-head" and 
 la grippe, and the number of formulas 
 to make such preparations, are now le- 
 gion. They always contain various 
 antipyretic agents, sometimes also caf- 
 feine, camphor, opium, ipecac, dover's 
 powder, aloin, podophyllin, etc. The 
 mixtures are commonly put up in the 
 form of tablets or capsules, but may 
 also be dispensed in cachets or as pills. 
 
 XXII. At the onset, a severe cold 
 may usually be aborted by giving a 
 purgative and inducing free perspira- 
 tion. A large dose of castor oil is a 
 suitable purge for children, while a 
 bottle of solution of magnesium citrate 
 acts nicely in adults. 
 
 To produce -free perspiration the pa- 
 tient should be given a hot foot-bath 
 and well dosed with hot lemonade or 
 ginger tea. He should then be put into 
 a warm bed and well covered with 
 woolen blankets. 
 
 If the patient is a child the chest 
 should be thoroughly rubbed with hot 
 camphorated oil and enclosed in a warm 
 woolen jacket or covered with layers 
 of heated flannel. Adults require some- 
 thing more stimulating as 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. I 
 
 Camphorated oil fl.oz. 2 
 
 A big mustard or linseed meal poul- 
 tice applied to the chest is still more 
 effective. 
 
 These measures often suffice, but are 
 made more certain in their results by 
 suitable internal remedies. In children 
 who are feverish and restless a simple 
 fever mixture is best, as the follow- 
 ing: 
 
 Tincture of aconite drops 2 
 
 Potassium citrate gn 60 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether fl.oz. 2 
 
 Syrup of ipecac .fl.oz. 2 
 
 Syrup of orange, to make. . .fl.oz. 2 
 Give one teaspoonful every hour for 
 four doses to child two years old, then 
 every two hours for several doses or 
 until better. Children of other ages 
 in the same proportion. 
 
 To abort a cold in an adult, quinine 
 and dover's powder are probably" the 
 most popular remedies. Either of these 
 may be used in connection with the 
 preliminary measures already described 
 in a single 5-grain dose at bedtime. They 
 may often be combined with benefit, as 
 in the following :

 Other combinations are mentioned in 
 the succeeding formulas. 
 
 In conjunction with a preparation of 
 this kind, it is advisable to use a cleans- 
 ing wash or spray for the nostrils, 
 such as Dobell's, Seiler's or Lister's or 
 Alkaline Antiseptic Solution.

 The dose is one every hour or two 
 until relieved, then one every 3 hours. 
 This is useful in the early stages of 
 a bad cold, it serving to check the secre- 
 tion from the nose. 
 Cathartics. 
 
 The class of remedial substances most 
 commonly in demand partake of the 
 form of cathartics; also called purga- 
 tives, laxatives and aperients. In offer- 
 ing a preparation of this kind for sale, 
 it is customary, as well as advisable, 
 to recommend it for chronic constipa- 
 tion or as a liver invigorator, a blood 
 purifier, a remedy against biliousness or 
 headache, an anti-dyspeptic, etc. 
 
 This class of pharmacal remedies may 
 take the form of an elixir, syrup, tablet, 
 lozenge, effervescent salt, pill, confection, 
 powder, species, or solution. 
 Elixir or Syrup. 
 These preparations may be known by 
 such titles as Laxative Elixir, Laxative 
 Syrup, Cathartic Elixir, Elixir Cathartic 
 Compound, Cathartic Syrup, etc.; if con- 
 taining figs, they may be called Fig 
 
 Syrup, Fig Laxative or Fig Laxative 
 Syrup. 
 
 I. Compound Cathartic Elixir, Com- 
 pound Elixir of Cascara Sagrada, Syrup 
 of Senna, or Aromatic Syrup of Senna 
 may be sold and dispensed as a cathartic 
 preparation if desired. See formulas

 Saccharin gr. 5 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 1 
 
 Dissolve the oils of wintergreen and 
 cinnamon and saccharin in the alco- 
 hol and add to the castor oil. 
 
 This preparation may be kept bot- 
 tled and sold especially as a laxative 
 for children. It is an excellent method 
 of administering castor oil. This prep- 
 aration is better than an emulsion as 
 castor oil is less purgative in the emul- 
 sified form. 
 
 Lozenges or Tablets. . 
 
 IX. Wash some dried prunes (a 
 pound, for instance), place them in 
 a saucepan over a dull fire or on a 
 sand-bath, with just sufficient water to 
 nearly cover them; when they have 
 boiled long enough to become quite 
 soft, and the greater part of the water 
 has been evaporated, allow them to 
 cool, and rub them in a large mortar 
 so as to crush the fruit, but not the 
 kernels. Transfer them to a coarse 
 straining cloth and squeeze the pulp 
 through it. This should be about the 
 consistence of honey. If not, it can 
 be made so by evaporating it over a 
 water bath. Now make a mixture of: 
 
 Senna, powder av.oz. 4 
 
 Sugar, powder av.oz. 4 
 
 Jalap, powder av.oz. y 2 
 
 Gum arabic, powder av.oz. % 
 
 Aromatic powder av.oz. % 
 
 Add sufficient quantity of the prune 
 paste to make a mass and divide into 
 lozenges of convenient size. These may 
 be sprinkled with powdered sugar or 
 else coated with melted chocolate, then 
 sprinkled with sugar. Tamarind pulp 
 may be used instead of the prune pulp, 
 which would probably be an advantage; 
 and the aromatic powder may be omitted 
 if desired.

 Pills and Tablets. 
 Formulas for cathartic pills might be 
 given by the score. Every pharmaceu- 
 tical manufacturer lists a great variety 
 of cathartic pills and tablets, some of 
 which are coated with gelatin, chocolate, 
 white sugar, pink sugar, or possibly lav- 
 ender-colored sugar. The formulas for 
 compound cathartic pills, compound lax- 
 ative pills, vegetable cathartic pills, and 
 others are given in Part I. Other form- 
 ulas are given below. 
 
 Suitable names to use for these pills 
 and tablets when put up for sale are 
 "liver pills (or tablets)," "cathartic pills 
 (or tablets)," "laxative pills," "antibil- 
 ious pills," "vegetable liver pills," "im- 
 proved liver pills," "improved cathartic 
 pills," etc. If the pills are small they 
 may be known as "liver pellets," "little 
 giant liver pills," "little liver granules," 
 "little cathartic pills," "cathartic gran- 
 ules." or some similar title. The dose 
 is generally from one to three at bed- 
 time. One acts as an aperient, two 
 as a laxative, and three as a purgative 
 and chologogue.

 Species (Teas). 
 
 These are mixtures of cathartic drugs 
 such as senna leaves and buckthorn 
 bark with licorice root, coriander, anise, 
 fennel, etc., which make the mixture 
 palatable and act as a corrective to the 
 griping action of senna. Manna is some- 
 times added; it adds to the palatability 
 and effectiveness of the mixture. Ro- 
 chelle salt and cream of tartar are also 
 used with the view of increasing the 
 effectiveness of the mixture and also 
 to modify the griping action of the 
 senna. Other substances added are dan- 
 delion, couch grass, elder flowers, juni- 
 per berries, sassafras bark, etc. 
 
 The ingredients of these "teas" are 
 to be used in a cut or coarsely powdered 
 condition. Senna is used in a cut con- 
 dition; so are licorice root, couch grass, 
 buckthorn bark, etc.; seeds like fennel, 
 anise, coriander, etc., are to be bruised 
 by contusion in a mortar. 
 
 Names used for these mixtures are 
 "laxative tea," "cathartic tea," "herb 
 tea," "German herb tea," and "blood- 
 purifying tea."

 Salts. 
 
 Salts of various kinds, or mixtures 
 of saline substances, are quite popular 
 laxatives, especially when they are in 
 the effervescent form. 
 
 Names used for these preparations 
 are Grape Salt, Fruit Salt, Fruit Laxa- 
 tive, Fruit Saline, Effervescent Saline, 
 Saline Laxative, Laxative Salt, Aperient

 Chilblains and Frost-Bites, Remedies 
 for 
 Frost-bites are common in cold 
 weather, and especially when it is damp, 
 and attack the portions of the body 
 not well supplied by the circulation, 
 such as the ears, nose, fingers and toes. 
 The acute form of inflammation di- 
 rectly following severe exposure is com- 
 monly known as frost bite and may 
 be so severe as to result in gangrene 
 of the parts; the sub-acute form which 
 persists and appears upon chilling of the 
 surface is called a chilblain. The toes 
 and feet are the portions of the body 
 most commonly attacked by chilblains. 
 The symptons are intense itching after 
 exposure to cold, the part becoming 
 swollen and dark red; in the severer 
 cases, blisters and sometimes ulcers 
 form. 
 
562 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Cathartics (Cont'd). 
 
 Those individuals who are subject to 
 chilblains should be especially careful 
 of their feet and of the hosiery and 
 shoes they wear. The feet should not 
 be exposed to sudden changes of tem- 
 perature. The hosiery should be woolen, 
 not too thick; it should be thoroughly 
 dry when put on, and changed as soon 
 as damp either from perspiration or 
 from moisture leaking through the shoes. 
 The same pair should not be worn 
 two days in succession without wash- 
 ing or at least without thorough dry- 
 ing. On no account is the hosiery to 
 be allowed to dry on the feet and the 
 practice of putting the feet before the 
 fire is to be condemned. The shoes 
 should not be too light, especially around 
 the ankles. 
 
 Remedies for chilblains should be both 
 internal and external. Persons sub- 
 ject to chilblains are frequently poorly 
 nourished and malt extract with cod 
 liver oil, iron iodid, hypophospites and 
 other tonics should be used. 
 
 The proper treatment of frost-bites 
 consists in applying snow or cold water 
 with friction. Under no circumstances 
 should the patient "thaw out" before 
 a fire. Warm drinks may be adminis- 
 tered and if the sensation of cold is 
 severe a mild stimulant may be given 
 such as half a teaspoonful of aromatic 
 spirit of ammonia or a little whisky 
 or brandy. 
 
 For the immediate relief of the itch- 
 ing chilblains, the best application is 
 warm water. A great variety of local 
 remedies have been recommended for 
 chilblains. The following prescriptions 
 are all highly recommended by their 
 authors : 
 I. 
 
 Liniment of belladonna fl.dr. 2 
 
 Liniment of aconite fl.dr. 1 
 
 Carbolic acid m. 6 
 
 Flexible collodion fl.dr. 5 
 
 This is to be applied with a camel's 
 hair pencil every night. 
 
 II. 
 
 Castor oil; 
 
 Oil of turpentine; 
 
 Flexible collodion, equal volumes of 
 each. 
 
 Paint on 2 or 3 times daily. This 
 is said to be effective even when the 
 chilblains are broken. 
 III. 
 
 Compound tincture of iodin ; 
 
 Collodion, equal volumes of each. 
 
 Paint on several times daily. 
 
 IV. 
 
 Camphor av.oz. 1^2 
 
 Carbolic acid, crystal av.oz. ]/ 2 
 
 Tincture of aconite fl.dr. 1 
 
 Triturate together until a liquid is 
 obtained, or place the ingredients in 
 a bottle and agitate until solution oc- 
 curs. 
 
 Direction : Paint with camel's hair 
 pencil or by moistening cloths and apply- 
 ing morning and evening to the affected 
 parts. 
 
 The above liquid can also be incor- 
 porated with 4 parts of simple cerate 
 so as to form a salve, and this spread 
 on cloth and applied night and morn- 
 ing.

 Resorcin gr. 120 
 
 Ichthyol gr. 120 
 
 Tannin gr. 120 
 
 Water fl.dr. 10 
 
 Mix and dissolve. Affix a "shake" 
 label to the bottle. 
 
 This liquid is to be applied with 
 a camel's hair pencil every night on 
 retiring. In a few minutes the liquid 
 dries into a kind of varnish. This 
 application is highly recommended but 
 its objection is that it causes blacken- 
 ing of the parts which does not go away 
 for some time and in very delicate skins 
 it sometimes produces cracks or fissures 
 which may cause pain. In such cases 
 the author of the above formula recom- 
 mends to use the following which while 
 not so promptly effective, still gives good 
 results :

 Cholera Remedies. 
 
 See Diarrhea and Dysentery Reme- 
 dies. 
 Corn Eradicators. 
 
 Remedies for the removal of corns 
 are very numerous and assume divers 
 forms such as liquid, salve, plasters, 
 etc. One of the most common and 
 most popular is a preparation of col- 
 lodion containing extract of cannabis 
 indica and salicylic acid, sometimes also 
 strong lactic or glacial acetic acid. An- 
 other popular preparation is an ointment 
 or cerate containing about 10 per cent, 
 of salicylic acid. These are usually to 
 be applied for from 3 to 5 nights con- 
 secutively, followed by a hot foot bath, 
 when the corn can be picked out. If 
 this first treatment does not produce 
 satisfactory results, it should be re- 
 peated. Better results are obtained if 
 a hot foot bath be taken preferably 
 with some sodium bicarbonate in the 
 water, before application of the remedy, 
 then scraping or cutting off the cal- 
 loused tissues as far as possible. 
 
 The variety of corn referred to is 
 what is called a "hard" corn which 
 attacks the top of the toes. "Soft" corns 
 are the kind occurring between the toes 
 and require different treatment. 
 Liquids. 
 « I. Compound Salicylated Collodion is 
 an excellent preparation. See formula 
 in Part I under Collodions. 
 
 This is to be painted on the corn 
 every night for 3 or 4 nights with a 
 camel's hair pencil, followed by a hot 
 foot bath when the corn can be picked 
 out. If the first treatment does not 
 entirely extract the corn it should be 
 repeated. 
 
 This and similar preparations should 
 be dispensed in small vials, and the top 
 of the bottle and cork should receive 
 a coating of melted paraffin to prevent 
 evaporation of the ether and alcohol.

 Rub the alkali with the water to a 
 smooth and uniform paste, and grad- 
 ually incorporate the glycerite. 
 
 In using, spread a little of the salve 
 on the corn, taking care not to get 
 any on the surrounding parts. Cover 
 with a small piece of cloth and allow 
 to remain for from 2 to 4 hours; then 
 soak the foot in warm water. The 
 corn may be extracted after one or two 
 such applications. 
 
 Plasters. 
 
 VIII. Dissolve a mixture of 2 drams 
 each of salicylic acid and ordinary or 
 white rosin in 1 fluidounce of ether and 
 pour this solution upon belladonna or 
 opium plaster spread upon moleskin. 
 This may then be cut up into suitable 
 sizes and dispensed in small envelopes. 
 
 Directions : Apply a small piece of 
 the plaster to the corn, and after 3 or 
 4 days follow with a hot foot bath. 
 Repeat this treatment one or more 
 times as may be necessary to extract 
 the corn.

 or any material suitable for a plaster. 
 
 This is to be used like the preced- 
 ing. 
 
 For Soft Corns. 
 
 X. The remedies previously men- 
 tioned will prove of more benefit to 
 "hard" corns than to "soft" corns. It 
 has been recommended to treat the lat- 
 ter by painting with a solution of silver 
 nitrate in 8 parts of distilled water 
 every fourth or fifth day, in the mean- 
 time keeping the toes apart by means 
 of a pledget of cotton smeared with 
 petrolatum, zinc ointment or other bland 
 fatty substance. 
 
 The cure or removal of corns is facili- 
 tated by frequent washing of the feet, 
 followed by removal of all dead tissue. 
 
 Dry tannin placed between the toes 
 where the corn is located is also rec- 
 ommended as a cure for "soft" corns. 
 Coughs and Colds, Remedies for. 
 
 Suggested titles for these remedies 
 are Cough Remedy, Cough Mixture, 
 Cough Syrup, Syrup of Tar and Wild 
 Cherrv. Children's Cough Cure, or Baby 
 or Infant Cough Syrup (if intended for 
 small children exclusively), White Pine 
 Syrup, Honey of Hoarhound and Tar, 
 Tar, Tolu and Wild Cherry, Tar and 
 Hoarhound Cough Syrup, Lung Balsam, 
 Expectorant,. Cough Cordial, Cough Bal- 
 sam, etc. 
 
 Opium in some form or a salt cr 
 derivative of morphine are constitu- 
 ents of almost every cough mixture. 
 This should not be administered to 
 small children or infants and hence it 
 may be advisable to have two prepara- 
 tions, one without morphine, codeine, 
 heroin or opium, or with only paregoric. 
 Other remedies are noticed under the 
 head of Remedies for Throat Affections 
 and under Gargles. 
 
 The dose of all these preparations 
 is a teaspoonful every 2 or 3 hours, 
 children in proportion, unless the ar- 
 ticle is made for small children ex- 
 clusively. 
 
 Brown Mixture. 
 This is an excellent preparation for 
 coughs and colds. The formula is in 
 Part I under Mixtures, or the fol- 
 lowing, known as Improved Brown 
 Mixture, may be used : 
 I. 
 
 Extract of licorice, puri- 
 fied av.oz. 2 
 
 Ammonium chlorid av.oz. 2 
 
 Paregoric fl.oz. 2

 orice may be used for the extract and 
 
DOMESTIC PREPARATIONS. 
 
 565 
 
 
 the glucose may be replaced by simple 
 syrup. 
 
 Compound . Elixir of Licorice is a 
 similar preparation in elixir form. See 
 formula in Part I under Elixirs. 
 II. Compound Syrup of White Pine: 
 
 This preparation is also known as 
 White Pine Expectorant and White 
 Pine Balsam. The excellent formula 
 of the N. F. is in Part I under Syrups. 
 This preparation contains 4 grains of 
 morphine sulfate in a pint (1/32 gr.) to 
 the fluidram. The preparations of the 
 market usually contain 3 grains of mor- 
 phine, in the form of acetate, to the pint. 
 The morphine may be omitted or it may 
 be replaced by 3 grains of codeine sul- 
 fate or phosphate to the pint or 2 or 
 4 grains of heroin hydrochlorid to the 
 pint (1/64 or 1/32 gr. to the fluidram) ; 
 or a small amount of ammonium chlorid 
 or syrup or glycerite of tar may be 
 added. 
 
 The N. F. menstruum for extraction 
 of the drugs is a mixture of 1 volume 
 of alcohol and 3 of water but it has 
 been claimed that an equally effective 
 menstruum is a mixture of 1 volume 
 of glycerin and 2 of water. 
 
 Another method of making compound 
 syrup of white pine is the following : 
 
 Tincture of pine gum fl.oz 8

 mortar with tincture and fluid extract 
 until well mixed, then triturate with 
 24 fluidounces of water, gradually added, 
 filter, and through the filter add enough 
 water to make 34 fluidounces of filtrate. 
 To the latter add the chloroform, mor- 
 phine and sugar, dissolve by agitation, 
 and strain. 
 
 The tincture of pine gum is made 
 from 1 av. ounce of gum turpentine 
 and 7 fluidounces of alcohol, agitating 
 occasionally till the gum is dissolved.

 Cough and Cold Mixtures for Small 
 Children. 
 
 Many of the above mentioned cough 
 and cold mixtures contain morphine, 
 cannabis indica or other substance that 
 would forbid their administration to 
 infants and small children and hence it 
 is customary, or at least advisable, to 
 have a cough and cold remedy for adults 
 and older children and another one for 
 infants and small children. Of the 
 above mentioned formulas, Nos. I, II 
 (if made without opiates), VI, VII, 
 VIII, X or XI may be recommended for 
 small children. The following prep- 
 arations may be called Children's Cough 
 Cure, Baby Cough Syrup, Infant Cough 
 Mixture or other similar appropriate 
 name. The usual dose for a child 2 
 or 3 years old is one teaspoonful every 
 2 or 3 hours.

 Place the mucilage in the bottle, add 
 an equal volume of syrup, then the 
 bromoform and tincture in portions, 
 shaking well after each addition. Then 
 add the remainder of the syrup and the 
 water, shaking thoroughly meanwhile. 
 Bromoform is a very heavy liquid 
 and from any ordinary mixture it sepa- 
 rates very quickly. The above is a thin 
 emulsion which separates but retains 
 the bromoform in suspension. It should 
 be shaken before use. 
 
 The dose for a child one year old 
 is one teaspoonful 3 to 5 times daily. 
 Cider chilren require larger doses or 
 the amount of bromoform and mucilage 
 in the mixture may be increased. 
 
 III. Formaldehyde in 1 per cent, 
 solution as a spray or as direct applica- 
 tion in 5 per cent, solution to the 
 pharynx is highly recommended. For- 
 maldehyde in vapor form is recom- 
 mended by the Health Department of 
 Chicago.

 Croup (Catarrhal Laryngitis) Reme- 
 dies. 
 
 I. The spasmodic attacks of croup 
 occur at night. The usual method of 
 treatment is to give an emetic such 
 as wine of antimony, syrup of ipecac, 
 or turpeth mineral. Another method 
 of treatment is by means of sedatives, 
 such as the following: 
 
 Chloral hydrate gr. 80 
 
 Potassium bromid gr. 40 
 
 Ammonium bromid gr. 32 
 
 Cinnamon water, to make. . .fl.oz. 2 
 This may be made more palatable 
 by substituting syrup of cinnamon for 
 a portion of the water, or else adding 
 a few drops of chloroform. 
 
DOMESTIC PREPARATIONS. 
 
 569 
 
 One tea'spoonful is the dose, to be 
 repeated in 20 minutes, if not relieved. 
 This is intended for a child about 
 5 years old. Older children require 
 larger doses, younger children smaller 
 ones. 
 
 The chloral relieves the spasms of 
 the larynx, and the bromid allays the 
 nervousness so that the patient is soon 
 asleep, awakening in the morning as 
 well as usual; there is also little dan- 
 ger of an attack the next night. 
 
 II. This is for a so-called "croupy" 
 cough :

 IV. An excellent external applica- 
 tion for croup is Compound Liniment 
 of Stillingia. For the formula see Lini- 
 ments in Part I. 
 
 Diarrhea and Dysentery, Bemedies 
 for. 
 These preparations may be put un- 
 der the title Blackberry Balsam, Black- 
 berry Cordial, Blackberry Elixir, Diar- 
 rhea Cordial, Diarrhea Cure, Carmina- 
 tive, etc. 
 
 The ingredients of these preparations 
 number among the following: Black- 
 berry root bark, blackberry juice, rhu- 
 barb, nutgall, witchhazel bark, catechu, 
 kino, peppermint, opium, capsicum, gin- 
 ger, aromatics and syrups. The black- 
 berry juice and syrup are introduced for 
 the purpose of disguising the styptic 
 taste of the blackberry root bark, nut- 
 gall or other astringent. This is also 
 one object of employing the aromatics, 
 these latter also serving as carminatives. 
 Capsicum is introduced with the view of 
 utilizing its stimulant properties. Opium 
 should be introduced with some N misgiv- 
 ings, for, as a rule, these "cordials" or 
 "balsams" are given to children. In fact, 
 it may be advisable to have two prepara- 
 tions, one containing opium and intend- 
 
 ed for older children and adults, the 
 other, without opium, for infants and 
 younger children. 
 
 I. Among the preparations mentioned 
 in Part I which are excellent remedies 
 for the treatment of cholera and diar- 
 rhea are Compound Elixir of Blackberry

 Extract or Essence of Jamaica Ginger 
 This preparation has been and is to 
 some extent a popular favorite for mild 
 forms of diarrhea and summer com- 
 plaint. It is also used as a quick stimu- 
 lant for cramps due to any cause, colic, 
 chills, etc., and for flatulency and dys- 
 pepsia. It is advised to put a few drops 
 into the drinking water in summer time 
 to prevent bowel complaints. The fol- 
 lowing are excellent formulas. The first 
 is a plain tincture, the second is aroma- 
 tized. Both are stronger than the U. S. 
 P. tincture.

 Diarrhea Mixtures for Infants. 
 Infantile diarrhea occurs in children 
 between 6 months and 2 years of age. 
 It is due generally to teething and im- 
 proper feeding. Poor or partly decom- 
 posed milk, unclean dishes, nursing bot- 
 tles with long tubes and unhygienic sur- 
 roundings will, in summer time, quickly 
 cause diarrhea in infants, popularly call- 
 ed "summer complaint." The best treat- 
 ment consists of combinations of mild 
 alkalies, like prepared chalk, combined 
 with bismuth subnitrate or subcarbonate, 
 mild antiseptics like Lister's Antiseptic 
 Solution, benzonaphthol, zinc sufocarbo- 
 late, etc., and usually also with rhubarb 
 and with astringents like kino, catechu or 
 rhatany. Chalk Mixture is used (see 
 formula in Part I), but is usually com- 
 bined with other substances, or use the 
 following :

 according to the severity of the symp- 
 toms.

 For Dysentery. 
 Dysentery is an inflammatory disease 
 of the large intestine, characterized by 
 the frequent passage of stools containing 
 blood and mucus. It frequently follows 
 ordinary diarrhea. 
 
 In cases of a catarrhal type that tend 
 to linger, an excellent remedy is Acid 
 Camphor Mixture, better known as 
 Hope's Camphor Mixture (see formula 
 in Part I under Mixtures). The dose is 
 a tablespoonful or two every 2 hours. 
 The intense pains may be relieved by 
 Chlorodyne. Other useful combinations 
 are the following:

 gent cases every half hour, until the 
 character of the discharge is improved. 
 
 Carminative or "Gripe" Mixtures for 
 Infants. 
 
 The mixtures mentioned under this 
 heading are used for griping (wind colic 
 or flatulence) and for mild cases of 
 diarrhea in infants. The dose of these 
 is about a teaspoonful for a child one 
 year old. The carminatives mentioned 
 in Part I are Dewee's Carminative 
 (see Mixture of Magnesia and Asafe- 
 tida) and Dalby's Carminative (see Mix- 
 ture, Carminative) ; also Compound 
 Powder of Rhubarb and Anisated Pow- 
 der of Rhubarb and Magnesia (see for- 
 mulas under Powders in Part I). The 
 dose of these powders is also about 
 half a teaspoonful to a child one year 
 old, Compound Syrup of Rhubarb and 
 Potassium or Neutralizing Cordial (see 
 
 formula in Part I under Syrups) is 
 good for the same purpose, as is also 
 the following:

 Dyspepsia and Indigestion, Remedies 
 for. 
 Owing to the prevalence of dyspepsia, 
 remedies for this complaint are in con- 
 siderable demand. Most of the "bitters" 
 and the liver remedies, and many of the 
 blood purifiers are usually recommended 
 for dyspepsia. 
 
 The remedies recommended especially 
 for dyspepsia contain some stomachic 
 tonic like golden seal, columbo, gentian 
 bitter orange, etc., combined with a lax- 
 ative like aloes, sodium phosphate, rhu- 
 barb, etc.; sometimes an alkali like so- 
 dium bicarbonate, as well as a carmina- 
 tive or stimulant like peppermint, capsi- 
 cum, elixir, etc.

 Ear Medicines. 
 
 Medicines for the ear are of two 
 kinds, one for earache, which may be 
 called Earache Drops, Earache Reme- 
 dies, or Earache Oils, the other being in- 
 tended for the improvement of the hear- 
 ing, the latter kind being known as Ear 
 Oils or Acoustic Oils. Of course no 
 medicine will actually improve the hear- 
 ing when impaired, unless it be due to a 
 waxy concretion present, which may be 
 softened and dissolved.

 Eczema or Salt Rheum, Remedies for. 
 
 Eczema is a very common skin disease 
 which manifests itself in a great variety 
 of forms, all of which require different 
 treatment. The formulas given below 
 are used. Sometimes a lotion or pow- 
 der acts best, at other times an oint- 
 ment is to be preferred.

 Sometimes, on account of the intense 
 pruritis or itching, it is necessary to ap- 
 ply a cooling application; a solution of 
 thymol, 1 to 1,000, is very good. Sali- 
 cylic acid and menthol are also useful.

 The public demand for preparations 
 for the eye is not large, but it is quite 
 steady, and the formulas here given will 
 suffice for the ordinary affections. If 
 the condition of the eye seems at all

 Feet, Preparations for the. 
 
 The preparations here mentioned are 
 used for tenderness or soreness of the 
 feet, also for excessive perspiration and 
 fetor. These affections are tolerably 
 common, but do not appear to the pub- 
 lic to be of sufficient importance to 
 make it necessary to consult a physician. 
 Most remedies recommended by phar- 
 macists are in powder, by reason of the 
 
 majority of them containing talcum with 
 salicylic acid. These powders should al-

 Gonorrhea and Gleet, Remedies for. 
 
 Remedies for gonorrhea may be used 
 externally (so-called) or may be exhib- 
 ited internally. The external remedies 
 are usually in the form of "injections," 
 or "washes," as they are also termed. 
 These usually contain a zinc sulfate or 
 acetate combined with hydrastis or one 
 of its alkaloids, lead acetate, opium, car- 
 bolic acid, or other substance. The rem- 
 edies for internal use contain copaiba or 
 santal oil or both combined with cubeb, 
 matico, spirit of nitrous ether, gum tur- 
 pentine, eucalyptus, etc. These internal 
 medicines may take the form of paste, 
 capsules, pills or emulsions. The "ex- 
 ternal" and "internal" remedies may be 
 used simultaneously, although there is 
 no benefit to be gained by their conjoint 
 use. 
 
 The "external" remedies usually are 
 known by some fanciful or odd title, or 
 by a number such as "55," "400," etc. 
 The "internal" remedies are usually 
 known by such titles as Sandalwood 
 Pills, Paste of Copaiba, Cubeb and San- 
 tal, Paste of Copaiba and Santal, Paste 
 of Copaiba, Cubeb and Matico, Gonor- 
 rhea Paste, Confection of Cubeb and 
 Copaiba, Mass of Copaiba, etc. 
 
 Remedies for external use may also be 
 in the form of bougies; one example of 
 these is given among the following for- 
 mulas. 
 
 Every patient suffering with gonorrhea 
 should be advised to keep the bowels 
 well open and also to refrain from the 
 use of any stimulants during the course 
 of the disease. 
 
 Gleet is simply a chronic form of gon- 
 orrhea.

 VI. The newer silver salts such as 
 protargol and nargol are regarded with 
 favor by physicians in the treatment of 
 gonorrhea. Aqueous solutions contain- 
 ing 54 to 1 per cent may be used for 
 acute cases, while chronic cases may be 
 treated with solutions containing 1 to 5 
 per cent. These compounds are easiest 
 dissolved by triturating them in a mor- 
 tar with a small amount of glycerin to a 
 smooth paste, then adding the water. 
 
 These injections are to be used sev- 
 eral times daily.

 internally, such as elixir of iron, quinine 
 and strychnine ; a preparation containing 
 arsenic is also excellent. 
 
 Headache Remedies. 
 
 Headache remedies are now quite nu- 
 merous and almost every pharmacist 
 prepares a remedy to replace the "pat- 
 ented" articles. These remedies are us- 
 ually put up in the form of powders, 
 capsules, wafers, pills and tablets, but 
 the ingredients are practically alike. The 
 common ingredients of these prepara- 
 tions are acetanilid, phenacetin, caffeine, 
 bromids, sodium bicarbonate (to correct 
 acidity of the stomach), etc. 
 
 Some of the headache remedies appear 
 in the form of effervescent salts ; the in- 
 
 gredients are, however, similar to those 
 of the other remedies. 
 
 Headache powders (or pills, capsules 
 or tablets) are usually directed to be 
 taken 15 or 20 minutes apart, but owing 
 to the presence of acetanilid in most of 
 them it is not safe to take more than 
 two doses. If two fail to cure the head- 
 ache, some external application should 
 be tried. The dose of the effervescent 
 salts is a heaping teaspoonful in a third 
 of a tumblerful of water.

 Hives, Remedies for. 
 
 Hives, called urticaria in medical par- 
 lance, is an affection most common in 
 summer time and is more common in 
 children than in adults. It appears as 
 large, reddened, elevated patches on the 
 skin and itches intensely. It is caused 
 by some gastro-intestinal derangement. 
 Some persons cannot eat certain articles 
 of food without getting an attack of 
 hives. 
 
 The best internal treatment is full 
 doses of sodium phosphate given sev- 
 eral times daily to keep the bowels open. 
 Externally apply some cooling lotion to 
 relieve itching, such as a weak carbolic 
 acid solution (1 dr. to 1 pint of water), 
 an alkaline solution like sodium bicar- 
 bonate in water, menthol (5 or 10 grains 
 to the ounce of solution or ointment), or 
 vinegar or acetic acid (to contain about 
 4 or 5 per cent of acetic acid). Or use 
 the following: 
 
 Sodium borate av.oz. y 2 
 
 Carbolic acid fl.dr. 1 
 
 Glycerin fl.dr. 2

 skin. 
 Insect Stings, Application for. 
 
 See Stings and Bites, Treatment for. 
 
 Itch, Remedies for. 
 
 The disease known as itch, or, more 
 properly, scabies, is a very annoying and 
 tolerably common complaint. It is a 
 parasitic skin disease, caused by a min- 
 ute insect called itch-mite or acarus, 
 which burrows under the skin. The 
 mode of treatment is practically the 
 same as for the other skin diseases. 
 
 The remedies mentioned below are all 
 to be applied several times daily. 
 
 I. Compound Sulfur Ointment (see 
 formula in Part I under Ointments), 
 also known as Wilkinson's Ointment or 
 Hebra's Itch Ointment, is an excellent 
 remedy for the itch.

 porate the balsam with this solution. 
 Kidney Remedies. 
 
 Some years ago preparations for the 
 kidneys were marketed under the name 
 of Buchus; there have also been Diure- 
 tic Elixirs, and now these preparations 
 are usually termed Kidney and Liver 
 Remedies. The latter are therefore to 
 be recommended for affections of the 
 liver, kidney and urinary organs. Many 
 of the remedies for liver complaints 
 may consequently be recommended for 
 kidney affections and conversely many 
 remedies for the kidney may be recom- 
 mended for the liver. 
 
 Kidney remedies need not necessarily 
 be of the liquid form ; they may be in 
 the form of coarse powder or species 
 which should be infused with water be-

 Lice, Application for. 
 
 Pharmacists are frequently called upon 
 to recommend something for lousiness 
 (pediculosis is the medical term). Head 
 lice are most frequent in children, body 
 and crab lice in adults, but the method 
 of treatment is the same. Mercurial 
 ointment is a favorite application, but is 
 objectionable on account of its greasi- 
 ness. Insect powder, powdered sabadilla 
 seed, powdered sulfur, sulfur ointment, 
 and solution of carbolic acid are also 
 used. To remove the "nits," dilute acetic 
 acid, dilute alcohol, or mild alkaline so- 
 lutions should be frequently used. These 
 may be combined with parasiticides as in 
 the following: 
 I. 
 
 Fluid ext. of stavesacre fl.oz. 1

 utes, and allow to cool. Dissolve the 
 oils and tincture in the alcohol, add this 
 to the decoction, stir well, let stand a 
 few hours, strain with expression, add 
 enough water through the strainer to 
 make 32 fluidounces of liquid and finally 
 filter. 
 
 These preparations are to be applied 
 twice daily.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Liniments. 
 
 Liniments are in considerable demand 
 and every pharmacists should have such 
 a preparation ready to offer for sale. 
 Some of these liniments may also be 
 taken internally for cramps, cholera, di- 
 arrhea, etc., and these may be known by 
 such titles as Pain Cure, Pain Dispeller, 
 Pain Relief, Rapid Relief, etc. Other 
 names which may be employed are Stim- 
 ulant Liniment, Electric Liniment, Kero- 
 sene Liniment, Embrocation, Nerve and 
 Bone Liniment, Arnica Liniment, Rheu- 
 matic Oil, Rheumatic Liniment, Univer- 
 sal Liniment, Rocky Mountain Liniment, 
 Family Liniment, Magic Liniment, Home 
 Liniment, Penetrating Liniment, Red Oil, 
 Indian Liniment, Wizard Liniment, Wiz- 
 ard Balm, Golden Oil, Knickerbocker 
 Liniment, Bicycle Liniment, etc. If it be 
 white, it might be known as White Lini- 
 ment or Cream Liniment. The word 
 "oil" is rather more popular as a name 
 for an external application than the 
 word "liniment." 
 
 These liniments are recommended for 
 rheumatism, neuralgia, bruises, chil- 
 blains, frost bites, sprains, stings and 
 bites of insects, lameness, etc. Many of 
 the preparations may also be employed 
 for veterinary purposes.

 Liver Medicines. 
 
 Medicines for the liver are usually 
 termed Liver Invigorators or Liver 
 Regulators, very frequently Kidney and 
 Liver Remedies ; in fact most medicines 
 for liver complaints are. also recom- 
 mended for derangements of the kid- 
 neys. Some of the liver medicines as- 
 sume the liquid form, some are in the 
 form of species, some in pill form, etc. 
 In addition to the formulas here men- 
 tioned, some of the blood purifiers, "bit- 
 ters," cathartics, and kidney remedies 
 may be recommended for assisting the 
 liver in its functions.

 Nervous Debility, Remedies for. 
 
 Of late it has become quite the fashion 
 for the public in general to believe they 
 are suffering from nervous disorders, 
 and many so-called "nervines" have ap- 
 peared upon the market. Some of these 
 
 contain celery, others phosphorous and 
 damiana, the latter also frequently con- 
 taining kola, nux vomica, gentian, cin- 
 chona, or columbo. 
 
 These preparations may, according to 
 their form or composition, be known as 
 Celery Compound, Celery Nervine, Cel- 
 ery Tonic, Celery and Kola, Celery, Cor- 
 dial, Nerve Tonic, Vitalizer, Vitalizing 
 Tonic, Damiana Compound, Nervous 
 Debility Pills, Aphrodisiac Pills, Com 
 pound Damiana Pills, etc. 
 
 Liquids Containing Celery. 
 
 Most of the preparations mentioned 
 under this heading are excellent tonics; 
 the celery is added merely in deference 
 to popular notion. Only one contains 
 kola, but a small amount, about 4 
 ounces to the gallon, may be added if 
 desired; the preparation may then be 
 known as "celery and kola" or "celery 
 and kola nerve tonic." The dose of 
 these preparations is one or two tea- 
 spoonfuls after each meal.

 Neuralgia Remedies. 
 
 Neuralgia may be treated externally 
 or internally or both. Very often one 
 of the headache remedies will afford 
 relief (see formulas under Headache 
 Remedies). Or a neuralgia pill may be 
 used (see formulas for Gross's and 
 Brown-Sequard's pills under Pills in 
 Part I). Very frequently an external 
 application will afford relief such as 
 Neuralgia Liniment mentioned under 
 Liniments in this part or the ointment 
 (No. Ill) mentioned under Rheuma- 
 
 tism and Gout Remedies, or Liniment 
 of Aconite and Chloroform in Part I. 
 under Liniments. The preparations men- 
 tioned under Rheumatism and Gow 
 Remedies will often give relief in neu- 
 ralgia. Other preparations to use are 
 the following:

 Pile Remedies. 
 
 Piles, or hemorrhoids, as they are 
 more correctly termed, are a very com- 
 mon and very annoying affection. They 
 are termed "internal" piles when they 
 exist within the sphincter controlling 
 the muscles of the anus, and "external" 
 piles when existing outside of this 
 sphincter. Other terms also are used in 
 describing them: Blind piles which are 
 simply a varicose state of the veins 
 without bleeding; itching piles, which 
 are accompanied by itching; bleeding 
 piles, which are accompanied by loss of 
 blood at every evacuation ; and mucous 
 piles, when pus or mucus only is dis- 
 charged. 
 
 Treatment of piles should be both 
 constitutional and locd. The constitu- 
 tional treatment should consist of the 
 taking of compound licorice powder or 
 one of the "bitter waters" at night. For 
 local treatment, a mixture of an astrin- 
 gent like nutgall, tannin, extract of 
 witchhazel, extract of rhatany, lead ace- 
 tate or iron subsulfate, with an anodyne 
 like opium, belladonna, conium, tobacco, 
 stramonium, ergot, or morphine is con- 
 sidered advisable. Other agents some- 
 times added to this mixture are anti- 
 septics like iodoform, tar, peru balsam, 
 carbolic acid, betanaphthol or salol. This 
 mixture may assume the form of an 
 ointment or of suppositories. The for- 
 mer should be preferred for external, 
 the latter for internal, piles. When the 
 piles are only tolerably severe, these 
 remedies afford prompt relief, but when 
 quite severe, only surgical intervention 
 will effect a cure. 
 
 Ointments. 
 
 These ointments are to be applied 
 about twice daily. In cases of itching 
 or external piles, they are to be ap- 
 plied with the finger, but in bleeding and 
 ulcerated piles the remedy should be 
 pushed up into the rectum. This may 
 also be done by means of the finger but 
 the best way is by the use of a pile pipe. 
 I. 
 
 Ointment of Gall and Opium in Part 
 I (see formula under Ointments) is an 
 excellent ointment for piles.

 should consist in removing unnecessary 
 clothing, keeping in a cocl place and 
 avoiding violent exercise. Food should 
 be easily digestible and non-stimulating. 
 Drinks should also be unstimulating — 
 alcoholic drinks should sedulously be 
 avoided — and should be cool but not ice- 
 cold as the latter excites perspiration. 
 If there is constipation a saline laxa- 
 tive like rochelle or epsom salt or solu- 
 tion of magnesium citrate should be giv- 
 en. Local applications may consist of 
 borated talcum, salicylated powder of 
 talcum (see formula under Feet, Prep- 
 arations for the), aqueous solution of 
 sodium bicarbonate, borax or boric acid, 
 or a solution of copper sulfate (10 
 grains to the ounce), preferably with a 
 little carbonic acid will be found highly 
 efficacious. The following has also been 
 recommended :

 Rheumatism and Gout. 
 
 Rheumatism may consist of remedies 
 for internal or for external use. Those 
 for internal use are to be preferred as 
 affording better results, but the effects 
 are still more marked if accompanied 
 by the use of a suitable application (lini- 
 ment). 
 
 Rheumatism remedies are usually 
 also recommended for gout. The rem- 
 edies for the external treatment of gout 
 may consist of liniments or ointments; 
 an example of a suitable gout ointment 
 is mentioned below. See also Liniments 
 for suitable external applications.

 Ringworm Applications. 
 
 This is a skin disease caused by in- 
 fection with a vegetable parasite. This 
 attacks the epidermis, the hair and hair 
 follicle. Its characteristic feature is the 
 circular patches which gradually increase 
 in size. Any parasiticide remedies will 
 cure the disease. These preparations 
 should be rubbed in well several times 
 a day.

 preparations in the form of round sticks 
 which soften upon the application of 
 heat. They are recommended for burns, 
 scalds, chilblains, frost-bites, boils, 
 wounds, corns, ulcers, all kinds of sores 
 and many other complaints. In using 
 the salve cut into thin pieces and spread 
 upon cloth or leather with a warm 
 knife; or the end of the stick may be 
 softened by warming over a lighted gas 
 jet or a warm stove and then spread 
 upon cloth or leather. Most of these 
 "sticks" contain burgundy pitch, like the 
 following :

 Soothing (Teething) Remedies. 
 
 These preparations usually have a title 
 like Baby Soothing Syrup, Anise Sooth- 
 ing Drops, Infant Teething Syrup, Baby 
 Soother, Teething Powders, etc. Most 
 of the proprietary preparations of this 
 kind depend for their "soothing" effect 
 upon opium ; others are simply carmina- 
 tive in cases of infantile colic, depend- 
 ing for their value upon anise, some- 
 times combined with fennel, ginger, lac- 
 tucarium, lupulin, etc. The latter two 
 have been credited with sedative (sooth- 
 ing) properties. Inasmuch as the effects 
 of opium are so pernicious, especially 
 upon infants, it is best to refrain from 
 giving formulas containing this agent 
 or its chief alkaloid. There is also the 
 disadvantage with the use of opium, that 
 it obscures the real difficulty; the in- 
 fant may be suffering from a vital or 
 dangerous disease which will result fa- 
 tally if not properly treated by a com- 
 petent physician.

 Stings and Bites, Treatment for. 
 
 Dog Bites. 
 The bite of a dog is often dreaded on 
 account of the possible danger of rabies. 
 This fear is usually ungrounded, but 
 nevertheless the wound should be cleans- 
 ed, first with soap and water, then with 
 antiseptics, such as carbolic acid water, 
 dilute solution of mercuric chlorid or 
 solution of potassium permanganate. 
 During this cleansing operation,, the 
 wound should be exposed as much as 
 possible. If there is any suspicion that 
 the animal is rabid, the wound should 
 be cauterized. The animal should not be 
 killed, but should be closely confined 
 and be watched to see if it develops 
 symptoms of rabies. If this occurs and

 it should show within ten days or there 
 is other proof of hydrophobia, the pa- 
 tient should be sent to a Pasteur insti- 
 tute. 
 
 Insect Stings. 
 The stings of mosquitoes, wasps, bees, 
 spiders and other insects are common in 
 summer time. Apply ammonia water, 
 spirit of camphor, or lead water and op- 
 ium. Camphorated chloral will usually 
 stop the pain. The following, if applied 
 at once, will often prevent inflammation :

 Sunstroke or Heat-Stroke. 
 
 There are two forms of sunstroke 
 (properly called heat-stroke or insola- 
 tion), one a mild form called heat ex- 
 haustion, the other being true sunstroke 
 or thermic fever. Sunstroke may not 
 necessarily be caused by direct exposure 
 to the rays of the sun, but may be due 
 to high atmospheric or artificial temper- 
 ature, especially if this be aggravated by 
 much humidity. Stokers, glass-blowers, 
 bakers, etc., often suffer from it. Pre- 
 disposing causes are ill-health, debility, 
 fatigue, lack of drinking water, intem- 
 perance, improper food, excitement or a 
 previous attack of sunstroke. 
 
 Heat exhaustion is a mild form of the 
 attack and is not necessarily caused by 
 exposure to the sun. The skin is pale, 
 cold and clammy, the pulse is feeble, and 
 the respiration shallow. While death 
 sometimes results, the patients usually 
 will recover under good treatment. The 
 
 affected person should be removed to a 
 shady spot and laid on his back, his head 
 should be lowered, his clothes loosened, 
 and cool water lightly sprinkled on his 
 head and chest. Ammonia should be ap- 
 plied to the nostrils and small quantities 
 of stimulants, such as whisky, brandy, 
 aromatic spirit of ammonia, nitroglyce- 
 rin, strychnine, etc., should be adminis- 
 tered. 
 
 True sunstroke or heatstroke (ther- 
 mic fever) is the serious form of this 
 complaint and may be caused by direct 
 exposure to the sun's rays or to a high 
 artificial temperature. The face becomes 
 purple, the eyes bloodshot, and the veins 
 swollen and corded; the skin is dry and 
 burning, hot to the touch, and the res- 
 piration is rapid and stertorous. Delir- 
 ium is common and the temperature is 
 usually very high, reaching from 105 to 
 115 deg. F. The danger to the patient 
 is great, death occurring in from 15 to 
 50 per cent of the cases affected, while 
 those whose lives are saved are with 
 rare exceptions ever afterwards invalids 
 with impaired brain power. 
 
 While waiting the arrival of a physi- 
 cian, the stricken person should be re- 
 moved to a cool, shady place, laid on the 
 floor or ground, his clothing loosened 
 and ice or ice-water applied, particularly 
 to his head, back of his neck and spinal 
 column. Rubbing the extremities with 
 alcohol and applying 1. ustard poultices 
 to the feet are also recommended. When 
 the temperature of the patient drops to 
 102 deg. F. (taken by the rectum), he 
 should be rubbed dry, placed in bed, 
 lightly covered, with ice to the head. 
 Excessive dropping of the temperature 
 (collapse or below normal) should be 
 carefully watched for, in which event 
 proper stimulants should be used and 
 applications of hot water bags made to 
 the body. 
 
 Symptoms of threatened heatstrokes 
 may appear hours or even days before 
 the attack. There is frequently more or 
 less depression, uneasiness or irritability. 
 The respiration may be hurried and the

 skin hot and feverish, there is great 
 thirst, headache and dizziness are com- 
 mon, and the sight is affected, sometimes 
 a mere intolerance of light, but often 
 everything seems of a purplish or red- 
 dish color. Later there is a sinking sen- 
 sation at the pit of the stomach, some- 
 times nausea and vomiting and a sense 
 of tightness around the chest. 
 
 As long as perspiration is free, it is 
 possible to bear a high degree of heat, 
 as the evaporation of the excretion from 
 the surface of the body tends to cool the 
 person. But in very humid weather, 
 both perspiration and evaporation are 
 checked, and if the atmospheric temper- 
 ature reaches or even approaches. 98^ 
 deg. F. there is grave danger of numer- 
 ous cases of heatstroke. It is at such 
 times that people, especially those not in 
 robust health, should exercise the great- 
 est care about exposure, over-exertion, 
 manner of dressing, eating and drink- 
 ing; above all they should avoid alco- 
 holics in any form and everything tend- 
 ing toward depressing physical energy. 
 The food should be light, but nutritious, 
 and meats, fats and heavy pastries 
 should be eschewed. Overloading the 
 stomach with food and drink, especially 
 iced liquids, is harmful. A sponge bath 
 morning and night is better than a pro- 
 longed cold bath, and this applies par- 
 ticularly to infants and children. Con- 
 finement in close rooms is depressing, 
 and if this be unavoidable the rooms, 
 working, living and sleeping rooms, 
 should be well ventilated. The clothing 
 should not be unnecessarily heavy; the 
 hat especially should be light and well- 
 ventilated. 
 
 Syphilis Remedies. 
 
 The recommending of remedies for 
 the use of syphilitics does not come 
 within the province of the pharmacist. 
 The formula below, known as Hot 
 Springs Prescription, is given merely be- 
 cause of its more or less extended use. 
 Other remedies which may prove useful 
 
 are the "blood purifiers" containing po- 
 tassium iodid.

 Under this heading are classed such 
 preparations as could not conveniently 
 be placed under the Cough and Cold 
 Remedies. These include tablets or loz- 
 enges and gargles. The former may be 
 called Bronchial Lozenges (or Troches 
 or Tablets), Throat Troches, Voice Loz- 
 enges, etc.

 and convert into a lozenge mass by add- 
 ing a small amount of mucilage of aca- 
 cia or of gum tragacanth, and then suf- 
 ficient water. Roll the mass out and di- 
 vide into lozenges of suitable size, spread 
 these out on boards or trays in a warm 
 place and when nearly dry turn them 
 over and allow them to dry on the other 
 side.

 Throat Affections (Cont'd). 
 
 These lozenges have enjoyed some 
 reputation under the name of Pine Tree 
 Tar Lozenges. The licorice, cubeb and 
 tar act as an expectorant and the potas- 
 sium chlorate is intended to relieve sore- 
 ness of the throat.

 This is sufficient for one lozenge, 
 which should be prepared like the pre- 
 ceding. 
 
 These lozenges give great relief from 
 the uncomfortable sensations of heat 
 and dryness which characterize many 
 acute and chronic affections of the mu- 
 cous membrane of the mouth and 
 and throat. The lozenge should be al- 
 lowed to dissolve in the mouth, and one 
 used every two, three or four hours as 
 necessary. The addition of 2 grains of 
 ammonium chlorid will often be benefi- 
 cial in sub-acute inflammatory conditions 
 of the mucous lining of the respiratory 
 tract, while in more chronic affections 2 
 or 3 minims of the oleoresin of cubebs 
 will serve a good purpose.

 Tonics. 
 
 The pharmacist will find it to his ad- 
 vantage to put up for sale some tonic 
 preparation for "building up the system" 
 and promoting appetite. There are a 
 number of such preparations in Part 
 I, such as Beef, Iron and Wine (see for- 
 mula under Wines), the various syrups 
 and elixirs of hypcphosphites (see for- 
 mulas under Syrups and Elixirs), and 
 also under Tonics (Hamilton's, Hensel's 
 and Wood's, in Part I). The prepa- 
 rations mentioned under Bitters in this 
 volume may be offered as tonics, also

 Toothache Remedies. 
 
 Formerly all toothache remedies were 
 prepared in the liquid form — "toothache 
 drops" they were termed. Several years 
 ago, pills or pellets, each for one inser- 
 tion into the cavity of the tooth, came 
 into use. These have been succeeded 
 lately by pencils or sticks, called "tooth- 
 ache wax" or "toothache gum," which 
 have become very ponular. These con- 
 sist of a fatty body like yellow or white 
 wax or spermaceti with which is incor-

 parated carbolic acid, creosote, chloral 
 hydrate, camphor, etc. This is then 
 formed into small sticks or pencils, or 
 else absorbent cotton is saturated with 
 this mixture, and this is then cut into 
 suitable pieces and formed into similar 
 sticks. Several formulas are also given 
 for liquids containing resinous sub- 
 stances which act as a temporary filling 
 or stopping for the tooth while at the 
 same time the pain is eased. 
 
 Inasmuch as the public rarely asks for 
 a proprietary toothache remedy, the 
 pharmacist can always "push" his own 
 article ; he may even find it advantage- 
 ous to have several kinds of toothache 
 remedies prepared ready for sale. 
 
 Drops. 
 The following toothache drops are to 
 
 be applied on a pledget of cotton. More 
 
 effective results will follow if the cavity 
 
 of the tooth be first dried out with a 
 
 piece of dry cotton.

 Temporary Fillers. 
 These liquids are similar to the 
 "drops" and act as anodynes (ease pain), 
 and also contain resinous substances 
 which form a temporary filling or stop- 
 ping for the tooth. Mastic is the favor- 
 
 ite resin. The "fillers" are used like the 
 "drops" ; applied to the cavity on a 
 pledget of cotton. 
 
 Wax or Gum. 
 
 Toothache "wax" or "gum" is a fa- 
 vorite form of toothache remedy. It 
 consists of waxy substance (usually yel- 
 low or white beeswax), sometimes col- 
 ored red by keeping in a melted condi- 
 tion with alkanet root and then straining 
 off the excess of root, mixed with ano- 
 dyne substances like opium, oil of clove, 
 chloral hydrate, etc., then rolled into pen- 
 cils, cut into appropriate lengths, wrap- 
 ped in thin waxed paper, and preserved 
 in small vials (1 or 2-dram size). Or a 
 better way is to immerse cotton in the 
 fatty mixture, then cut and wrap the 
 mass as before. In using cut or pinch 
 off a piece of the pencil, warm gently by 
 rolling between the fingers and insert 
 into the cavity of the tooth, previously 
 drying the latter with a pledget of cot- 
 ton.

 These are of similar composition to 
 the "wax." The mass is divided into 
 small pills, one of which is to be insert- 
 ed into the cavity of the tooth to relieve 
 pain.

 Vermifuges. 
 
 Pharmacists are very frequently asked 
 to recommend some remedy for the ex- 
 pulsion of worms in children. The vari- 
 ous vermifuges are of different forms, 
 such as syrup, solution, lozenge, powder 
 and species. These may be entitled 
 Pleasant Worm Syrup, Santonin Worm 
 Lozenges, Chocolate Worm Syrup, Ton- 
 ic Vermifuge, Ideal Worm Powders, etc. 
 A very common ingredient of these 
 preparations is santonin; other common 
 ingredients are oil or fluid extract of 
 wormseed and pink root. These are us- 
 ually combined with some purgative, 
 such as castor oil, buckthorn, rhubarb, 
 calomel, podophyllin, senna and jalap 
 resin. Another addition sometimes made 
 is some carminative like anise or fennel 
 or the volatile oils of either of these. 
 
 The above described remedies are in- 
 tended only for pin worms and lumbri- 
 coid worms. Tapeworms usually infest 
 adult persons and reauire much different 
 treatment. Formulas serviceable against 
 the latter are also appended. 
 
 Inasmuch as worms (except tape- 
 worms) infest children almost exclu- 
 sively, these preparations are made ra- 
 ther weak so that the dose will be rela- 
 tively large. 
 
 The so-called seat-worms or pin- 
 worms infest the rectal region mostly, 
 and in endeavoring to expel these from 
 children, reliance should not be placed 
 exclusively upon internal remedies but 
 should be assisted by lukeworm injec- 
 tions of infusion of quassia, thymol so- 
 lution, vinegar and water, etc.

 See Part I (under Troches) for 
 formula for an excellent worm lozenge, 
 frequently called santonin lozenge. The 
 santonin is mixed with sugar and made

 Schafhirt's Tapeworm Remedy. 
 X. 
 
 This remedy was proposed in 1874 by 
 A. J. Schafhirt, a pharmacist of Wash ■ 
 ington, D. C, who claimed great effi- 
 cacy for it. The formula and direc- 
 tions for use are as follows : 
 
 Pomegranate root bark dr. 4 
 
 Pumpkin seed gr. 30 
 
 Ergot gr. 30 
 
 Oleoresin of male fern dr. 1 
 
 Croton oil drops 2 
 
 Acacia, powder dr. 2 
 
 Bruise the first three substances to- 
 gether thoroughly and boil with 8 fluid- 
 ounces of water for 15 minutes, then 
 strain through coarse cloth. Now rub 
 together the last three ingredients and 
 form into an emulsion with the decoc- 
 tion after it has cooled. 
 
 The patient may take a light supper, 
 but before going to bed he should purge 
 himself with a large dose (one ounce) 
 of rochelle salt. On the following morn- 
 
DOMESTIC PREPARATIONS. 
 
 595 
 
 ing the mixture is taken at one dose on 
 an empty stomach. In about 2 hours 
 the worm will be voided, but it is best 
 for the patient to sit in a bucket half 
 filled with lukewarm water. Care must 
 be taken not to tear the worm should it 
 be slow in passing, lest the head reat- 
 tach itself. If necessary an ounce of 
 rochelle salt may be taken to hasten ex- 
 pulsion. No bad results are said to fol- 
 low this treatment. 
 
 The addition to the foregoing mixture 
 of 1 fluidram of chloroform will add to 
 its efficacy. 
 
 Oleoresin of male fern and mixtures 
 containing it must always be well shaken 
 before using.

 ing, the child is to drink a glass of milk ; 
 follow this in 1 hour by one-half of the

 and follow in another 15 minutes with 
 almost a tablespoonful of castor oil.

 Wart Eradicators. 
 
 Pharmacists are frequently called upon 
 to recommend or offer some remedy for 
 the eradication of the peculiar excres- 
 cences known as warts. These are pecu- 
 liar in that sometimes a very simple 
 remedy applied but once or twice will 
 cause them to disappear and at other 
 times thev persist indefinitely in spite of 
 all treatment. * 
 
 Everyone is probably familiar with the 
 application of silver nitrate in sticks, 
 concentrated nitric acid, creosote, car- 
 bolic acid, or salicylic acid in any of the 
 
 38 
 
 forms of corn cures. Glacial, acetic and 
 dichloracetic acid are frequently employ- 
 ed, while some add salicylic acid in the 
 proportion of 1 in 16 to concentrated 
 acetic acid. Another escharotic solution 
 consists of chromic acid 1 part, water 5 
 parts. Unna recommends mercurial 
 plaster containing 5 per cent of arsenic. 
 It is also recommended to shave off the 
 wart to the quick and then to apply a 
 compress wet with a saturated solution 
 of ammonium chlorid. A corrosive col- 
 lodion for warts consists of 1 part of 
 mercuric chlorid dissolved in 20 parts of 
 collodion. Other apolications are : Con- 
 centrated hydrochloric acid, solution of 
 antimony chlorid, solution of mercuric 
 nitrate, potassium bichromate, arsenic 
 oleate, copper oleate and formaldehyde. 
 Castor oil and oil of cinnamon are also 
 useful. All of these remedies must be 
 applied once or twice daily until the 
 wart disappears. The outer hard, thick 
 layer of cuticle should always be re- 
 moved before applying anything what- 
 ever. 
 
 An ointment sometimes recommended 
 is the following: 
 
 Verdigris gr. 50 
 
 Savin, powder .gr. 50 
 
 Soap cerate av.oz. 1 
 
 The following powder is said to be 
 very effective : 
 
 Calomel gr. 30 
 
 Boric acid gr. 15 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 5 
 
 Cinnabar gr. 3 
 
 Rub into the wart 2 or 3 times a day. 
 Or use the following: 
 
 Mercuric chlorid gr. 5 
 
 Salicylic acid dr. 1 
 
 Collodion rl.oz. 1 
 
 In the case of multiple warts, where 
 a large number appear within a short 
 time, there is some constitutional de- 
 rangement, and the patients are usually 
 advised to take Fowler's solution in very 
 small doses, or magnesium sulfate in 5 
 gr. doses 3 times daily. 
 
 Children's warts, appearing principally 
 on the hands, may be removed by apply-

 ing during several days solution of soda 
 or potassa, and then covering them with 
 collodion containing tannin. The same 
 treatment applies for common warts. 
 
 Erasmus Wilson considers the appli- 
 cation of caustic potassa in stick form 
 to be the quickest and most reliable 
 
 eradicator, one treatment being all that 
 is usually required. 
 
 Warts appearing on the skin of elder- 
 ly persons must be looked upon as sus- 
 picious (cancer) and should be shown to 
 a reliable surgeon.

VETERINARY PREPARATIONS 
 
 Many of the formulas here offered, 
 such as those for condition powders, lin- 
 iments, poultry powders, etc., may be 
 kept on hand in convenient form for 
 counter sale. 
 
 Many of the prescriptions in this Part 
 are taken from Dieterich's Manual, in 
 which the division dealing with remedies 
 for animals was written by a competent 
 veterinarian. Others are from the ex- 
 cellent works published by the Bureau 
 
 of Animal Industry of the U. S. Depart- 
 ment of Agriculture. 
 
 This Part has been divided into the 
 following divisions: Division I — Horse 
 Medicines; Division II— Cattle Medi- 
 cines; Division III — Sheep Medicines; 
 Division IV — Swine Medicines; Divi- 
 sion V — Dog and Cat Medicines ; Divi- 
 sion VI— Poultry Medicines; Division 
 VII— Bird Medicines. 
 
 DIVISION I— HORSE MEDICINES. 
 
 The doses mentioned in the following 
 recipes are intended for grown horses, 
 since foals generally require treatment 
 only for those diseases which are pecu- 
 liar to foals. As a general rule the 
 quantities ordered may be adjusted to 
 suit the age of the animal, according to 
 the following proportions : For a colt I 
 year old, 2$ per cent of the full dose; 
 for a 2-year-old, 50 per cent, and for a 
 3 or 4-year-old, 75 per cent of the full 
 dose. 
 
 Administering Medicines. 
 
 Medicines may be administered to 
 horses by mouth or subcutaneously, or 
 injected into the rectum, bladder or va- 
 gina, or insufflated into the nostrils, or 
 they may be applied externally to the 
 skin. Of these, all but the first two are 
 intended to produce local effects only. 
 
 Substances given by the mouth may 
 be in the form of powders, pills, pastes, 
 or liquids. 
 
 Powders may be coarse or fine, vary- 
 ing according to the manner in which 
 they are given. Condition powders, for 
 example, need not necessarily be in fine 
 powder; the same applies to other insol- 
 uble powders mixed with the feed, al- 
 though the action of the medicine is 
 
 more prompt if the powder is very finely 
 divided. Soluble powders may be dis- 
 solved in water and then mixed with the 
 feed or with the drinking water. If they 
 are without disagreeable odor or taste, 
 they are readily taken in this manner. 
 These powders may also be put into cap^ 
 sules and then administered in the same 
 manner as boluses. Large gelatin cap- 
 sules intended for veterinary use are 
 now obtainable from any capsule manu- 
 facturer. 
 
 Pills ("balls" or boluses), when prop- 
 erly made, are cylindrical in shape, 2 
 inches in length and about % inch in 
 diameter. They should be soft, so as to 
 be easily compressible. They should pre- 
 ferably be fresh, but, if necessary to 
 keep them for some time, they should be 
 made up with glycerin or some such 
 agent to prevent them from becoming 
 too hard. 
 
 Boluses are preferred to drenches 
 when the medicine is extremely dis- 
 agreeable or nauseating, when the dose 
 is not too large, when it is difficult to 
 administer liquid to the horse, or when 
 the medicine is intended to act slowly. 
 Some substances cannot or should not 
 be made into boluses, such as those 
 
598 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Giving Medicine (Cont'd). 
 
 given in large doses, or oils, or caustic 
 substances, unless the latter be in small 
 dose and diluted and thoroughly mixed 
 with the vehicle. 
 
 Substances suitable for making into 
 boluses can be made into a mass by 
 means of glycerin, glucose, syrup, honey, 
 powdered soap and a small amount of 
 water, etc. Paper is sometimes wrapped 
 around boluses when given, but this is 
 necessarv only when they are so sticky 
 as to adhere to the fingers, and no well- 
 made bolus should have this fault. Pa- 
 per used for this purpose should be thin 
 but tough. 
 
 In giving a bolus, untie the animal, 
 open his mouth, grasp his tongue firmly, 
 pull it forward gently, and lay the bolus, 
 previously slightly moistened, as far 
 back on the tongue as possible. On re- 
 leasing the tongue, it is drawn back into 
 the mouth and carries the bolus with it. 
 The mouth should be kept closed for a 
 minute or two. There should always be 
 a pail of water at hand to offer the 
 horse after administering a bolus. This 
 precaution will prevent the bolus from 
 being coughed out or becoming lodged 
 in the gullet. 
 
 Pastes, or electuaries, are soft solids 
 made by mixing liquid medicines with 
 nowdered licorice root or ground flax- 
 seed, or solid medicines with honey, syr- 
 up, molasses, or water, as may be neces- 
 sary. In using they are spread on the 
 tongue, teeth or gums by means of a 
 wooden saddle or a long-handled spoon. 
 
 Liquids may be given as drenches 
 when the dose is large, or they may, 
 when but a small quantity is adminis- 
 tered, be injected into the back of the 
 mouth with a hard-rubber syringe or be 
 poured on the tongue from a small vial. 
 When giving a drench, care must be 
 taken to use the proper amount of oil or 
 water as a diluent, as more makes the 
 drench bulky and is unnecessary. 
 
 Insoluble medicines, if not irritant or 
 corrosive, may be given simply suspend- 
 
 ed in water, the bottle to be well shaken 
 just before administering the drench. 
 The bottle used for this purpose should 
 be clean, strong, taoering (without 
 shoulders), and of a size to suit the 
 amount given. 
 Anaemia Medicines. 
 
 Anaemia is often due to lack of exer- 
 cise in the open air; this condition is 
 most marked in young animals. It may 
 also be due to improper food. Treat- 
 ment consists in iron and arsenic, giving 
 green food if possible, and indulging in 
 light exercise in the open air. The horse 
 should be sent to pasture for a time, if i 
 possible.

 Appetite, Loss of, For. 
 
 Loss of appetite is often the result of 
 disorders of digestion and may be the 
 accompaniment or precursor of other 
 more serious affections. The appetite 
 may be improved by giving bitter or aro- 
 matic substances, or else saline sub- 
 stances. 
 
 The Condition Powders mentioned in 
 this division are useful for improving 
 the appetite.

 Bee, Wasp, Hornet Stings. 
 
 These are more irritating than the 
 bites of flies, partly because the barbed 
 sting is left in the wound and partly be- 
 cause of the character of the venom. 
 When a swarm attacks an animal the 
 result may be fatal. Treatment consists 
 in the application of ammonia water; a 
 solution of sodium bicarbonate; a solu- 
 tion of potassium permanganate, 2 
 grains to the ounce; or lead acetate, 2 
 drams, tincture of opium, 1 fluidounce, 
 and water, 1 pint. The imbedded sting 
 should be extracted. 
 
 Bladder Inflammation, or Cystitis. 
 
 Cystitis may be caused by abuse of 
 irritant diuretics, such as cantharides, 
 turpentine, resin, etc., by the presence of 
 stone in the bladder, by the introduction 
 into the bladder, of an uncleaned cathe- 
 ter, by the presence of acrid plants in 
 the fodder, etc. Treatment consists first 
 in the removal of the cause, such as the 
 cantharides or other blistering agent 
 from the skin, or the extraction of stone 
 or gravel. If the urine has been re- 
 tained and decomposed, it must be com- 
 pletely evacuated through a clean cathe- 
 ter and the bladder thoroughly washed 
 out with a solution of one dram of 
 borax to a quart of tepid water. This 
 must be repeated twice daily until the 
 urine no longer decomposes. The diet 
 must be light, such as bran mashes, 
 roots and fresh grass, and the drink im- 
 
 pregnated with linseed or slippery elm 
 tea. When the acute symptoms have 
 subsided, a daily dose of 1 fluidram of 
 fluid extract of buchu and V* fluidram 
 of fluid extract of nux vomica will serve 
 to restore lost tone.

 dissolved in the water, and, lastly, the 
 carbolic acid. Shake the whole well for 
 half an hour, and after a week's macera- 
 tion in a cool place decant the clear 
 liquid. 
 
 For use shake well with twice its bulk 
 of water, and add 100 to 120 times its 
 bulk of water, stirring thoroughly. For 
 scab and itch, dilution with only 30 or 
 40 times its bulk is necessary. 
 Catarrh, Bronchial, For. 
 
 Bronchial catarrh usually begins with 
 fever and is generally accompanied by 
 coughing, and the discharge of purulent 
 matter from the nose. If the dry cough 
 does not soon loosen, and there is no 
 nasal discharge, the fomentations rec- 
 ommended under "Glanders" should be 
 employed. These fomentations should 
 not be continued longer than necessary 
 to induce the discharge, as otherwise 
 harm may result to the nasal mucous 
 membrane. In addition to using the 
 medicines mentioned below, warm appli- 
 cations should be bound around the 
 throat and warm drinks should be ad- 
 ministered

 Catarrh, Nasal, Remedies for. 
 
 Nasal catarrh may be an ordinary 
 "cold in the head" or it may develop 
 into a chronic catarrh. The former is 
 not serious except in so far as it may 
 lead to something worse or become 
 chronic. An ordinary catarrh requires 
 simply rest for a few days and the in- 
 halation of the vapors of boiling water. 
 The latter treatment is to be repeated 
 several times daily. 
 
 When the disease becomes chronic, it 
 requires persistent medical treatment. 
 Mineral tonics and local medications are 
 of the most value. For eight days give 
 the following mixture : 
 
 Reduced iron av.oz. 3 
 
 Xux vomica av.oz. 1 
 
 Divide into 16 powders. 
 Give one powder mixed with the food 
 twice a day. 
 
 Arsenous acid (or ordinary white 
 arsenic) in doses of 3 to 6 grains three 
 times daily is a good tonic for such 
 cases. Sulfur burnt in the stable is a 
 valuable adjunct, care being taken that 
 the gas is well diluted with air so -as not 
 to suffocate the animal. Chlorinated 
 lime sprinkled around the stall will also 
 be beneficial. It is advisable to keep a 
 quantity of it under the manger so that 
 the horse inhales the odor when eating 
 ha". The horse may be made to inhale 
 the vapor of creolin or compound tinc- 
 ture of benzoin by adding 2 ounces of 
 either of these liquids to some hot water 
 contained in a pail and holding to the 
 horse's nose. 
 
 The animal's nose should be kept

 washed, and the discharge cleaned from 
 the manger and stalls. 
 Cathartic Medicines. 
 
 It is frequently necessary to give a 
 cathartic to a horse, as this animal can- 
 not, like some others, remain constipated 
 long without serious consequences.

 To be given at one dose. In cases of 
 unusual weakness or prostration of the 
 animal, the croton oil may be omitted. 
 
 In putting up this formula in large 
 quantity for general sale, it would be 
 better to substitute powdered gamboge 
 for croton oil, using in the prescription 
 above named 60 grains. 
 
 III. See also Colic Remedies and 
 Constipation Cure. 
 Colic Bemedies. 
 
 Colic is probably the most common 
 ailment of horses. It is usually due to 
 obstinate constipation and retention of 
 urine; occasionally it is caused by diar- 
 rhea. In the former instance, purgative 
 and carminative remedies should be ad- 
 ministered and warm applications should 
 be made. 
 
 If the colic is due to diarrhea, alum 
 and similar substances with carminatives 
 are employed. 
 
 The usual treatment is by warm ap- 
 plications to the back, abdomen and 
 legs, also frictions with a turpentine 
 mixture, until perspiration ensues. Then 
 fasten blankets to the back and abdo- 
 men to allow the horse to remain per- 
 spiring for a time. In the meantime, 
 one of the remedies mentioned below is 
 to be used. 
 
 In case there is constipation, the 
 bowels should be emptied by means of 
 the hand, previously well oiled; in 15 
 minutes give an enema of warm chamo- 
 mile tea. As soon as the bowels and 
 bladder are emptied, the colic will dis- 
 appear. 
 
 If the abdomen of the horse is dis- 
 tended with gas, the animal should be 
 taken out for a short trot. 
 
 I. This is an application for the body 
 as directed above: 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 4 
 
 Ammonia water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 15 
 
 II. The usual remedy for colic is a 
 mixture of one fluidounce each of lauda- 
 num and sweet spirit of nitre. This 
 is best given with a pint of raw linseed 
 oil which acts as a cathartic. 
 
 III. 
 
 Chlorodyne fl.oz. 1 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether fl.oz. 2 
 
 Linseed oil, raw fl.oz. 13 
 
 Give at one dose, repeating in 2 hours 
 if necessary. 
 
 IV. Hypodermic injections containing 
 eserine may be employed, instead of in- 
 ternal remedies, to relieve colic due to 
 constipation ; these produce more prompt 
 results.

 IX. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry recommends chloral hydrate in 
 both "cramp" ( spasmodic j and "wind" 
 (flatulent) colic, the dose being one av. 
 ounce dissolved in a pint of water. For 
 
 cramp colic, use a mixture of 2 fluid- 
 ounces each of sulfuric ether and lauda- 
 num with 8 fluidounces of raw linseed 
 oil. Another mixture for this purpose 
 is 2 fluidounces each of sulfuric ether 
 and alcohol with 8 fluidounces of water. 
 It is important to give a purgative, 
 either a "horse ball" of aloes or else a 
 full dose, say a pound, of epsom or 
 glauber's salt, dissolved in water. Ene- 
 mas of warm water, or in wind colic, 1 
 to 2 fluidounces of oil of turpentine with 
 8 fluidounces of raw linseed oil are rec- 
 ommended. 
 
 In wind colic, diluted alcohol or whis- 
 ky may be given, or aromatic spirit of 
 ammonia in 1 -ounce doses at short inter- 
 vals. 
 
 Condition Powders. 
 
 These preparations are also known as 
 "Horse Powders," "Horse and Cattle 
 Food" and "Stock Food." Pharmacists 
 frenuently dispense preparations of this 
 character made by themselves ; as titles, 
 they may select those given above, also 
 such as "Maud S. Condition Powder," 
 "Prairie Condition Powder," "Farmer's 
 Condition Powder," "Arabian Condition

 Constipation Cures. 
 
 Constipation is usually caused by im- 
 proper feeding, but may be the result of 
 other conditions ; it may also be the 
 cause of colic (see Colic Remedies). In 
 ordinary constipation cathartic remedies 
 and enemas are indicated.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Cough Remedies. 
 
 Coughs should be treated by binding 
 warm applications about the throat or 
 making fomentations as described under 
 "Glanders." If the nasal secretion is 
 too copious, it may be checked by giving 
 a powder containing some lead acetate. 
 In addition, the following remedies may 
 be employed : 
 
 I. 
 
 Antimony sulfid av.oz. I 
 
 Licorice root av.oz. 2 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 5 
 
 Mix all in powder form.

 Divide into 8 powders and give one of 
 
 these in a mucilaginous or starchy drink 
 
 twice a day. 
 
 III. 
 
 Ipecac av.oz. 1 
 
 Squill av.oz. 1

 This remedy is useful in chronic 
 cough. 
 
 V. For poultice : 
 
 Mustard, ground or powder. av.oz. 3 
 
 Wheat bran av.oz. 9 
 
 Mix well. 
 
 In using, mix this powder with water 
 warmed to about 75 deg. C. and apply it 
 in the usual manner for poultices. 
 
 The addition of the mustard makes 
 the poultice somewhat of a counter-irri- 
 tant but without being as irritating as a 
 mustard plaster. 
 
 Diarrhea Remedies. 
 
 Diarrhea is often the result of "catch- 
 ing cold/' but may also be the precursor 
 or accompaniment of other disorders. 
 Mild cases may be cured by giving dry 
 fodder and warm drinks or adding flour 
 to them. In severer cases, aromatic and 
 bitter substances may be administered 
 and in some cases astringents may be 
 required. Applications should be made 
 to the entire abdomen ; the whole body 
 should be rubbed vigorously and then 
 covered with blankets so as to retain the 
 perspiration produced by the rubbing. 
 This rubbing of the entire body should 
 be repeated every 3 hours.

HORSE MEDICINES 
 
 605 
 
 V. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry recommends giving an oleaginous 
 purge, such as castor oil or raw linseed 
 oil, the former preferred. If the diar- 
 rhea still continues after the medicine 
 has acted, give half-dram doses of sul- 
 furic acid in 8 fluidounces of water 2 or 
 3 times daily. Good results often fol- 
 low the use of powdered opium, 2 drams, 
 bismuth subnitrate, 1 ounce, 3 times 
 daily. But by all means the water and 
 feed the horse is getting should receive 
 attention, as these are usually at fault. 
 Distemper Remedies. 
 
 See Strangles, Remedies for. 
 Diuretics. 
 
 See Urinary Diseases, Remedies for. 
 The following may also be recom- 
 mended : 
 
 Potassium acetate av.oz. y 2 
 
 Fluid extract of buchu fl.oz. 1 
 
 Fluid extract of uva ursi. .. .fl.oz. 1 
 
 Gin fl.oz. 1 
 
 Tincture of opium fl.oz. 1 
 
 Sweet spirit of nitre fl.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. i l / 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 8 
 
 Give 1 to 2 fluidounces at a dose. 
 It sometimes happens that the animal 
 is simply afflicted with a slight disturb- 
 ance of the kidneys, producing what is 
 termed by horsemen and veterinary sur- 
 geons yellow water; for this ailment a 
 simpler remedy is demanded, and the 
 following will prove of service: 
 
 Potassium nitrate av.oz. 1 
 
 Fluid extract of buchu fl.oz. 2 
 
 Sweet spirit of nitre fl.oz. 4 
 
 Anise water fl.oz. 9 
 
 Give 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls at a dose, 
 night and morning, for 3 days, and then 
 in the morning only, for one week. 
 Dysentery Remedies. 
 
 Dysentery, sometimes called "bloody 
 flux," is more common in colts than in 
 full-grown animals. In colts, unless 
 given prompt attention, it often proves 
 fatal in a few days. Opium is given in- 
 ternally and may be combined with calo- 
 mel. Externally the animal should be 
 rubbed frequently and warm applications 
 made. 
 
 Opium gr. 75 
 
 Althaea av.oz %

 III. For external use : 
 
 Tincture of capsicum fl.oz. 1 
 
 Spirit of mustard fl.oz. i l / 2 
 
 Spirit of camphor fl.oz. 8 
 
 Apply a tablespoon ful to the abdomen 
 3 times daily, rubbing for 5 minutes 
 with a woolen cloth. 
 Dyspepsia and Indigestion Remedies. 
 Dyspepsia may be due to loss of ap- 
 petite or to too hasty eating, causing im- 
 perfect mastication. The affected ani- 
 mal will become emaciated, it will be 
 flatulent ("wind on the stomach"), and 
 the dung will have a fetid odor ; in the 
 latter undigested oats will be observed. 
 If the animal is addicted to too hasty 
 eating, the oats should be mixed with 
 chopped hay before feeding. The fol- 
 lowing recipes will be found valuable : 
 I. 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 5 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 2 
 
 Calamus root, powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Reduced iron gr. 90 
 
 Give I tablespoonful with each meal. 
 II. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry states that if the indigestion is 
 accompanied by distention of the stom- 
 ach and bowels with gas, the following 
 is to be used: 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate, 
 Ginger, powder, 
 
 Gentian, powder, each, equal parts. 
 This mixture is to be given in heaping 
 tablespoonful doses twice a day. before 
 feeding. Or the powder may be mixed 
 with half a pint of water and given as a 
 drench. 
 
 As a digestive tonic, the following is 
 good: 
 
606 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Indigestion (Cont'd). 
 
 Sodium sulfate av.oz. 8 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 4 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 2 
 
 Give a heaping tablespoonful with each 
 feed. 
 
 Other things should be looked after. 
 For example, if the teeth are sharp and 
 irregular, they should be filed down; if 
 any are decayed, they should be extract- 
 ed; if the horse is addicted to ravenous 
 eating or to bolting of food, the feed 
 should then be given from a large man- 
 ger so that the grain may be spread out 
 and the horse thus compelled to eat 
 more slowly. 
 
 Epizooty Remedies. 
 
 See Influenza Remedies. 
 Eyes, Inflammation of the, For. 
 
 Inflammation of the eyes may be due 
 to mechanical injury or to a cold. If 
 the conjunctiva is affected, the inflam- 
 mation is of catarrhal character; if the 
 cornea is affected, it is of rheumatic ori- 
 gin. 
 
 The eye must strictly be protected 
 from bright light; it should be bathed 
 three times daily with water not too cold 
 and covered with cloths moistened with 
 lead water. In severe cases, aloes pills 
 should be given sufficient to produce 
 purgation, the cheeks should be rubbed 
 with a counter-irritant ointment, and in- 
 stead of using lead water, apply the fol- 
 lowing solutions : 
 I. 
 
 Zinc sulfate gr. 16 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 Fold a cloth so as to form four thick- 
 nesses, lay over the inflamed eye and 
 moisten with the solution; repeat the 
 moistening every 2 hours.

 Infusion of elder flowers. . .fl.oz. 16 
 Mix and dissolve. Tincture of opium 
 
 may be substituted for the crocated tinc- 
 
 ture. The infusion may be prepared 
 from I av. ounce of drug; plain water 
 may be substituted, if desired, for the 
 infusion. 
 
 This preparation is to be applied like 
 the preceding.

 Fever Medicines. 
 
 Fever is usually the result of other 
 diseases; it is frequently accompanied 
 by increase in the pulse rate. The nor- 
 mal temperature of the horse is Z7 to 
 38 deg. C. (97 to 98 deg. F.), but may 
 rise in fevers to 40 deg. C. (104 deg. 
 F.), or even to 41 (106 F.). 
 
 Fever generally begins in the horse 
 with a chill, the hair stands erect, the 
 muscles shiver, the feet and ears feel 
 cold while the rump feels hot.

 Flies, Treatment for. 
 
 See the formula under Mosquito Oil, 
 which makes an excellent preparation 
 for warding off the attacks of flies. 
 Some species of flies attack horses and 
 suck their blood, producing great annoy- 
 ance. These insects not only suck the 
 blood, but also instil an acid poison into 
 the skin, and may transfer infectious 
 germs from one animal to another. Va- 
 rious means are used to prevent these 
 attacks such as applying the above-men- 
 tioned "mosquito oil," sponging with a 
 decoction of tobacco leaves, dusting with 
 insect powder, removing all manure 
 heaps, mixing the manure with chlori- 
 nated lime, etc. For the poisoned bites 
 apply ammonia water, or a solution of 1 
 part of carbolic acid in 20 of glycerin or 
 sweet oil, or 2 drams of sodium bicar- 
 
 bonate and 1 dram of carbolic acid in a 
 
 quart of water may be used. 
 See also Gnat Oil.

 Founder or Laminitis, Remedies for. 
 
 This disorder of horses is very com- 
 mon. Usually the soft parts of the hoof 
 are affected; the animal then steps with 
 exceeding caution; it lies down mostly 
 in the stall, and groans frequently; the 
 pulse-rate is increased, and sometimes 
 there is fever. Usually either front feet 
 or hind feet only are affected. 
 
 Mild cathartics should be given and 
 care should be taken that there is a nor- 
 mal flow of urine; antifebrile remedies 
 should be administered. As there is us- 
 ually constipation, the bowels should be 
 emptied by means of salt water ene- 
 mata; when these are used, cathartics 
 should, of course, be omitted. External 
 stimulating liniments or counter-irritant 
 ointments should be applied. The ani- 
 mal should be fed only on half rations 
 and the food should be of an easily di- 
 gestible character.

oos 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Pounder (Cont'd). 
 
 cording to the U. S. Bureau of Animal 
 Industry), what has been called the 
 "American treatment" is simple and ef- 
 ficient. It consists solely in the exhibi- 
 tion of large doses of ootassium nitrate 
 (4 ounces in a pint of water every 6 
 hours) and the continued application of 
 cold water to the ankles and feet. The 
 disease frequently subsides in a week. 
 In subacute forms, smaller doses, say H 
 to 1 ounce, of potassium nitrate- should 
 be given. 
 
 The water used for bathing should 
 have a temperature of 4*5 to 50 deg. F. 
 The water may be in a tub in which the 
 animal can stand, or if the animal is ly- 
 ing down, swabs may be used which 
 should be wet every half hour with the 
 water. Tincture of aconite may be given 
 in conjunction with the nitre when the 
 heart is excited and beats stronglv, in 
 10-drop doses every 2 hours. 
 
 Galls or Blisters, For. 
 
 Blisters or galls are brought about by 
 badly fitting harness or saddles, which 
 produce local sores very difficult to cure. 
 The sores should be washed two or 
 three times a day with soap and water ; 
 the ointment should then be applied two 
 or three times daily on clean soft cloths.

 IV. A most valuable remedy in vet- 
 erinary practice for all kinds of sores, 
 bruises, cuts, or whenever the skin is 
 broken is i-he application of Friar's Bal- 
 sam, the compound tincture of benzoin 
 of the U. S. P., and may be profitably 
 put up under some appropriate name 
 and sold by pharmacists. 
 
 V. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry mentions other remedies, such as 
 a solution of 10 grains of silver nitrate 
 in a fluidounce of water; 20 grains of 
 lead acetate or zinc sulfate to an ounce 
 of water; or 1 part of carbolic acid with 
 15 parts of glycerin. Saddles or other 
 parts of the harness should be made to 
 fit properly, and should be cleaned and 
 oiled to remove all dirt and made soft 
 and pliable. Any simple astringent wash 
 or powder will effect a cure provided 
 the sores are not irritated by friction. 
 
 Glanders and Farcy, Remedies for. 
 
 This is a rather common disease and 
 may result from contracting cold as well 
 as from infection. The two forms are 
 distinguished as a benign and a malig- 
 nant form ; the remedies mentioned be- 
 low apply only to the former. The malig- 
 nant form of glanders is a highly danger- 
 ous and infectious disease and should be 
 treated only by those well versed in its 
 treatment. Mallein, a serum, is used to 
 determine the presence of the disease. 
 
 The diseased horse is languid, per- 
 spires easily, has diminished aopetite and 
 a cough. From the inflamed nostrils 
 flows a discharge, watery at first, later 
 becoming thick and mucous. When the 
 secretion assumes the latter character, a 
 swelling appears in the throat, which in- 
 terferes with mastication. This swelling 
 will become purulent, break open and 
 discharge, and subsequently will heal, 
 after which the horse appears quite well. 
 
 Farcy and glanders are the same dis- 
 ease but different manifestations. Glan- 
 ders refers to the general character of 
 the disease while farcy refers to the 
 nodules and eruptions on the face. 
 
HORSE MEDICINES 
 
 GOO 
 
 Treatment consists in keeping the ani- 
 mal warm by covering with a woolen 
 blanket, also binding a cloth about the 
 throat. Internally give mild cathartics, 
 and assist the process of the swelling in 
 the throat by the application of stimulat- 
 ing ointments or even by means of poul- 
 tices. In feeding the animal, grind the 
 oats and mix with warm water.

 contents thoroughly, so as to facilitate 
 the liberation of the steam. Keep this 
 up for a quarter of an hour. Repeat the 
 treatment once each day.

 IV. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry states that arsenic is effective for 
 palliating the symptoms. It may be 
 given as Fowler's solution or solution of 
 arsenous acid in doses of 1 fluidounce 
 in the drinking water, or as powdered 
 arsenous acid in 3-grain doses with the 
 feed, each to be given 3 times a day. 
 The dose may be cautiously increased as 
 the animal becomes accustomed to the 
 drug. If the bowels do not act regular- 
 ly, a pint of raw linseed oil may be 
 given once or twice a month, or a hand- 
 ful of glauber's salt may be given in the 
 feed twice daily, as long as may be nec- 
 essary. However, all medical treatment 
 is of secondary importance; most atten- 
 tion should be paid to the diet. 
 Heels, For Cracked. 
 
 If there is much heat but the skin is 
 unbroken, a lotion of 1 dram of lead 
 acetate to a pint of water may be ap- 
 plied on a thin bandage, covered in cold 
 weather with a dry one. This same lo- 
 tion may be used after the cracks ap- 
 pear, or a mixture of equal parts of sul- 
 furous acid, glycerin and water, applied 
 on cotton and well covered by a band- 
 age. In case these should prove unsuita- 
 ble, the following may be used : 
 
 Lead acetate, fine powder dr. 4 
 
 Carbolic acid drops 40 
 
 Petrolatum av.oz. 4 
 
 Herpes, Remedies for. 
 
 Herpes consists of minute vesicles 
 that appear in circular groups or clus- 
 ters, with little tendency to burst but 
 rather to dry up into thin scabs. It 
 sometimes accompanies or follows speci- 
 fic fevers, and is, on the whole, most 
 frequent at the seasons of changing the 
 coat — spring and autumn. It is seen on 
 the lips and pastern but may occur on 
 any part of the body. The duration of 
 the eruption is two weeks or more, the 
 tendency being to spontaneous recovery. 
 The affected part is very irritable, the 
 disease causing a sensitiveness and a 
 disposition to rub out of proportion to 
 the extent of the eruption. 
 
 It may be treated with zinc ointment. 
 The irritation may be allayed by apply- 
 ing an aqueous mixture containing op- 
 ium, belladonna, or lead acetate. A 
 course of bitters, such as half an ounce 
 of cinchona once daily for a week may 
 strengthen the system and thereby coun- 
 teract the disposition to the eruption. 
 Hoofs, Preparation for the. 
 
 Aside from the appearance which it 
 gives a horse's hoofs, the occasional use 
 of a good hoof-dressing really promotes 
 the comfort of the animal and prevents 
 brittleness of the hoof. The following 
 are simple and useful formulas for this 
 purpose : 
 I. 
 
 Oil of origanum fl.oz. 1 
 
 Camphor av.oz. 1 
 
 Lard av.oz. 16 
 
 Apply twice every week or two. 
 II.

 IV. The following cement is useful 
 for cracked hoofs : 
 
 Gum turpentine av.oz. I 
 
 Gum ammoniac av.oz. 3 
 
 Gutta percha av.oz. 6 
 
 The first two are melted together by 
 means of a water bath, then added to 
 the gutta percha, previously melted, with 
 constant agitation. If a black color is 
 desired lampblack may be added. 
 
 When it is to be used the cement 
 should be softened in hot water and 
 pressed in the hoof crack, which has 
 previously been well cleaned. 
 Indigestion, Remedies for. 
 
 See Dyspepsia and Indigestion, Rem-

 are languor and loss of appetite. After 
 one or two days there is fever and an 
 increased pulse-rate, the mucous mem- 
 branes become yellowish, and the thirst 
 increases while the appetite is diminish- 
 ing. Internal and external remedies are 
 used, the latter being usually ointments 
 of a stimulant character.

 Industry recommends injecting large 
 quantities of cold water into the rectum 
 as the safest antipyretic. Antipyrine 
 may be used with alcohol and strychnine. 
 Quinine and salicylic acid may be given 
 in i-dram doses, but the continuous use 
 of quinine may increase the after-de- 
 pression. 
 
 Jaundice Remedies. 
 
 Jaundice, or "the yellows," causes a 
 yellow discoloration of the mucous mem- 
 branes of the eyes, nose and mouth. The 
 urine is saffron-colored, the dung is of 
 a dirty gray color, and there is usually 
 constipation. It is caused by the reten- 
 tion and absorption of bile into the 
 blood. It may be an accompaniment of 
 any inflammatory disease. 
 
 Treatment consists in ridding the sys- 
 tem of the excess of bile and this is best 
 accomplished by giving purgatives that 
 act on the liver, such as calomel, 2 
 drams, aloes, 7 drams. Glauber's salt in 
 handful doses once or twice a day for a 
 week is also effective. Mandrake, rhu- 
 barb, castor oil and other cathartics that.

 Mange or Scabies Remedies. 
 
 Scabies is most apt to affect old or 
 ill-fed horses and generally appears on 
 the side of the neck, on the shoulder, 
 the back, the hips, at the root of the tail 
 and on the feet. 
 
 In all cases the first thing to be done 
 is to wash the affected parts with a 
 warm solution of green soap. The ani- 
 mal must also be separated from the 
 others, and special care taken in feeding 
 and grooming it. It must be curried 
 and brushed with implements not used 
 on the other animals, and the harness 
 must be reserved strictly for it to pre- 
 vent infecting the other animals. 
 
 Mange is always caused by a minute 
 animal, called an acarus or mite. This 
 animal burrows in the skin, a scab being 
 formed, in which the mite may be dis- 
 covered by the aid of a magnifying 
 glass. The symptoms are, of course, an 
 incessant and intolerable itching with the 
 formation of scab, the size of the scab 
 constantly increasing.

 IV. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry directs the removal of the scabs 
 by soapsuds, and, if necessary, with a 
 brush, and the thorough application of a 
 decoction of tobacco leaves, 3 av. ounces 
 to a half gallon. This may be applied 
 more than once and should always be 
 repeated after 15 days to destroy the 
 new brood of acari that may have been 
 hatched in the meantime. All harness 
 and stable utensils should be similarly 
 treated; blankets and rubbers may be 
 boiled, and the stalls should be covered 
 with a whitewash of lime containing 4 
 av. ounces of chlorinated lime to the 
 gallon.

 Peritonitis, Treatment for. 
 
 The U. S. Department of Agriculture 
 recommends opium, in powder, 1 or 2 
 drams, with calomel, 30 grains, every 2, 
 3 or 4 hours. Extensive counter-irri- 
 tants are to be applied to the abdomen, 
 consisting of mustard plasters, mercurial 
 ointment, turpentine stupes, or even mild 
 blisters. Purgation should never be re- 
 sorted to. If it is desired to empty the 
 bowels, do so with gentle enemas, but 
 usually this is not necessary. 
 Pinkeye, Remedies for. 
 
 See Influenza Remedies. 
 Poisoning of Horses. 
 
 In cases where it is necessary to kill 
 a horse and it is impossible to shoot him, 
 as, for example, when he is in a stall, a 
 German veterinarian recommends inject- 
 ing a solution of strychnine (sulfate or 
 nitrate) into the jugular vein. 
 
 Quittor, Remedies for. 
 
 Quittor is a term applied to various 
 affections of the foot wherein the tis- 
 sues which are involved undergo a proc- 
 ess of degeneration that results in the 
 formation of a slough followed by the 
 elimination of the diseased structures by 
 means of a more or less extensive sup- 
 puration. The disease may attack the 
 cutaneous tissues or it may strike deep- 
 er. In any event, the parts must be kept 
 clean and free from pus. The proper 
 kind of application to make is one of 
 antiseptic character. A solution of mer- 
 curic chlorid, 1 in 500, with some am- 
 monium chlorid, is excellent. Balls of 
 oakum arc to be wet with this solution

 and applied to the wound, being retained 
 in place by means of a bandage. Other 
 remedies are a i% solution of copper or 
 zinc sulfate or zinc chlorid, 4% carbolic 
 acid solution, 2% solution of silver ni- 
 trate, or creolin, pure or diluted. The 
 following is also recommended: 
 Ointment of mercury

 Bingbone Cures. 
 
 See Spavin and Ringbone Cures. 
 Bingworm, Bemedies for. 
 
 There are two kinds of ringworm, the 
 circinate (tinea tonsurans) and the hon- 
 eycomb (favus). In the circinate form 
 the symptoms are the formation of a 
 circular scurfy patch where the fungus 
 has established itself, the hairs of the 
 affected spot being erect, broken, or 
 split up and dropping off. Later the 
 spot first affected becomes bald and 
 there is around it a circular row of hairs 
 which are erect, bristly, broken and split. 
 These in turn are shed and a new row 
 outside passes through the same process, 
 so that the extension is made in more or 
 less circular outline. 
 
 Treatment consists in applying tinc- 
 ture of iodin twice a week for 2 weeks, 
 first shaving or extracting the hairs of 
 the affected part. Whitewash the stable 
 and stall to destroy the germs, wash the 
 brushes and harness with caustic soda 
 solution and apply a solution of corro- 
 sive sublimate, 1 dram to a quart of 
 water, and treat the blankets and such 
 covering with boiling water. 
 
 The honeycomb ringworm forms close- 
 ly aggregated, dry, yellowish crusts on 
 the trunk, shoulders, flanks or thighs, 
 and is accompanied by severe itching. 
 Treatment is the same as for the preced- 
 ing.

 Screw-Worm, Bemedies for. 
 
 Screw-worm and other flies deposit 
 their eggs in sores and wet, filthy spots 
 in the horse's skin and the grub which 
 hatches out gives rise to serious trouble. 
 The wet, dirty hair should be removed 
 and the wounds kept clean and rendered 
 antiseptic by a lotion of 2% carbolic 
 acid water, or a mixture of 1 part of oil 
 of tar in 20 ounces of sweet oil, or other 
 antiseptic application. The grubs that 
 are present should be picked off.

 ness of the shoulder of rheumatic origin : 
 
 Veratrine gr. 9 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 1 
 
 About 2^2 fluidrams are to be injected 
 once daily into the affected part. 
 Sinews, For Strained. 
 
 Inflammation of the sinews in the rear 
 part of the leg between the knee and 
 hoof may result from injury or may be 
 due to rheumatism, influenza, etc. The 
 affected animal must not be worked, but 
 should be walked about slowly for a 
 half an hour every day. If the affection 
 is a recent one, apply one of the below 
 mentioned lotions. If there is no im- 
 provement in the course of a week, 
 apply the salve of mercurial ointment 
 with potassium iodid.

 possibly be dispersed by means of hot 
 poultices of linseed or bran. If the 
 swelling is tolerably large, make an open- 
 ing on the lower side to allow the fluid 
 to escape, cleanse the cavity by injecting 
 2% carbolic acid water, and then apply 
 a counter-irritant ointment, such as the 
 following : 
 
 Green soap av.oz. 4 
 
 Ammonia water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Crude petroleum fl.dr. 5 
 
 Tincture of cantharides fl.dr. 5 
 
 Rub daily for 1 or 2 days, then omit 
 for 2 days and repeat the application. 
 Continue this intermittent application 
 until the ointment is all used. 
 
 Staggers, Remedies for. 
 
 Staggers are of two kinds, the first 
 being known as "blind, sleepy or mad 
 staggers," and called technically phre- 
 nitis. It is an inflammation of the brain, 
 in which the animal practically loses his 
 senses, plunges in the stall till loose, and 
 then dashes madly about, regardless of 
 
GIG

 Staggers (Cont'd). 
 
 all obstructions, striking or biting at 
 anything in his way. It usually proves 
 fatal, and if not the animal only par- 
 tially recovers. The method of treatment 
 formerly advised was copious bleeding, 
 but this, even if successful in saving the 
 animal, leaves him in such a weakened 
 state that he is practically valueless. A 
 better method of treatment is to give I 
 or 2-dram doses of tincture of gelsem- 
 ium every 4 hours, also a dose of 8 av. 
 ounces of glauber's salt in thin bran 
 mashes. The head should be bathed in 
 cold water. 
 
 The other kind of staggers is called 
 "stomach staggers," and is due to disten- 
 tion of the stomach from overfeeding, 
 which results in cerebral symptoms man- 
 ifested first by drowsiness and sleepi- 
 ness, followed by a sudden awakening 
 of the animal, when he throws himself 
 about violently and his eyes take on a 
 wild, unmeaning stare. This form of 
 staggers, if not properly treated, may 
 also prove fatal. The following treat- 
 ment will prove effective : 
 
 Fluid extract of ginger fl.oz. 6 
 
 Sodium hyposulfite av.oz. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 4 
 
 Dissolve the sodium salt in the water 
 and add the fluid extract. The dose is a 
 wineglass ful every 4 hours. A stimulat- 
 ing injection of a handful of salt in 4 
 quarts of water should also be used. As 
 soon as the medicine arouses the diges- 
 tive functions and the food passes the 
 pylorus into the intestines, the animal 
 will obtain relief. Both food and water 
 should be withheld until there is marked 
 improvement. 
 
 Stomach Catarrh, Remedies for. 
 
 Gastric catarrh is frequently accom- 
 panied by constipation or diarrhea. In 
 either case, the appropriate remedy must 
 be given. See under Constipation Cures 
 or Diarrhea Remedies. 
 I. For chronic cases : 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 4 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 4 
 
 Sodium sulfate av.oz. 4 
 
 Juniper berries av.oz. 2 
 
 Reduce to coarse powder and mix 
 well. 
 
 Give 1 tablespoonful with each meal. 
 II. For acute cases: 
 
 Precipitated chalk av.oz. 3 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 3 
 
 Gentian av.oz. 1 
 
 Fennel av.oz. 1 
 
 Reduce all to powder and mix well. 
 One tablespoonful is to be given with 
 each meal. 
 Strangles, Remedies for. 
 
 Strangles, also called distemper and 
 colt-ill, is an infectious disease, seen 
 mostly in young animals, and usually 
 leaving an animal which has had one at- 
 tack protected from future attacks. It 
 appears as a fever, lasting a few days, 
 with the formation of matter or pus in 
 the air tubes and lungs, and frequently 
 the formation of abscesses in various 
 parts of the body, both near the surface 
 and in the internal organs. It usually 
 leaves the animal after convalescence 
 perfectly healthy and as good as it was 
 before but sometimes leaves it a "roar- 
 er," or is followed by the development 
 of deep-seated abscesses, which mav 
 prove fatal. 
 
 Ordinary light cases require but little 
 treatment beyond warm mashes, mois- 
 tened hay, warm coverings, and protec- 
 tion from exposure to cold. The latter 
 is especially required, as lung complica- 
 tions, severe bronchitis and laryngitis 
 often result as a neglect of this precau- 
 tion. If the fever is excessive the ani- 
 mal may be given a handful of glauber's 
 salt three times a day as a laxative, also 
 sodium bicarbonate or nitrate in i-dram 
 doses every few hours, and small doses 
 of black antimony, potassium iodid, aco- 
 nite or quinine. Steaming the head with 
 vapors of warm water ooured over a 
 bucket of bran and hay, in which bella- 
 donna leaves and tar have been placed, 
 will allay the inflammation of the mu- 
 cous membranes and greatly ease the 
 cough. 
 
 The swelling of the glands should be 
 promptly treated with hot linseed poul- 
 
 
 
HORSE MEDICINES

 tices, and as soon as pus h?is formed the 
 swelling should' be opened. Blisters and 
 irritants should not be applied to the 
 throat. When convalescence begins care 
 should be taken not to expose the ani- 
 mal to cold, which may bring on a re- 
 lapse, and while exercise is of advan- 
 tage, it must not be carried to excess un- 
 til the animal has entirely regained its 
 strength. 
 
 Sunstroke, Treatment for. 
 
 The term sunstroke is applied to affec- 
 tions occasioned not exclusively by ex- 
 posure to the sun's rays, but also by the 
 action of great heat combined generally 
 with humid atmosphere. Exhaustion 
 produced by a long-continued heat is 
 often the essential factor, and is called 
 heat exhaustion. Horses on the race- 
 track undergoing protracted and severe 
 work in hot weather often succumb to 
 heat exhaustion. Draft horses, which 
 are exposed to the direct rays of the sun 
 for many hours and do not receive prop- 
 er care in watering, feeding and rest in 
 shady places, suffer very frequently from 
 sunstroke. 
 
 Sunstroke is manifested suddenly. The 
 animal stops, drops his head, begins to 
 stagger and soon falls to the ground un- 
 conscious. The breathing is marked 
 with great stertor, the pulse is very slow 
 and irregular, cold sweat breaks out in 
 patches on the body, and the animal oft- 
 en dies without recovering conscious- 
 ness. The temperature rises very high, 
 reaching 105 to 109 deg. F. 
 
 In heat exhaustion the animal usually 
 requires urging for some time previous 
 to the appearance of any other symp- 
 toms, generally perspiration is checked, 
 and then he becomes weak in his gait, 
 che breathing hurried or panting, the 
 eyes watery or bloodshot, the pulse rapid 
 or weak, followed by unconsciousness 
 and death. If recovery takes place, con- 
 valescence extends over a long period of 
 time, during which there is lack of co- 
 ordination of movements of the limbs. 
 
 Blood-letting is absolutely not to be 
 permitted in sunstroke. Ice or very cold 
 water should be applied to the head and 
 along the spine, and half an ounce of 
 ammonium carbonate or 6 fluidounces of 
 whiskey should be given in a pint of 
 water. Cold water should be showered 
 upon the body of the horse from a hose 
 or otherwise. This should be continued 
 until the temperature is down to 103 deg. 
 F. Brisk friction of the limbs and the 
 application of spirit of camphor often 
 yield good results. The administration of 
 the stimulants should be repeated in an 
 hour if the pulse has not become slower 
 and stronger. In either case, when reac- 
 tion has occurred, preparations of iron 
 and general tonics are to be given dur- 
 ing convalescence.

 Thoroughpin, Remedies for. 
 
 This is an enlargement above the hock 
 and is an inflammation of the synovial 
 sac. Formerly the sac was lanced, but 
 this is not now thought to be good treat- 
 ment. A better plan is to puncture the 
 sac by means of small needles and to 
 empty the fluid through these holes. 
 After this apply an ointment of iodin 
 consisting of 1 dram of iodin to 7 drams 
 simple ointment. Then apply a spring 
 truss so constructed as to press on both 
 sides of the hock. By this means the 
 internal parts of the sac are kept in con- 
 tact and they finally unite. 
 
 The following application is also rec- 
 ommended :

 Urinary Disease, Remedies for. 
 
 Urinary diseases are usually manifest- 
 ed by conditions known as polyuria, or 
 the voiding of a large amount of pale 
 urine, and anuria, or retention of urine. 
 The former is usually caused by feeding 
 with decomposed fodder. The latter may 
 be due to "colds," or it may be an ac- 
 companiment of other conditions, such 
 as colic. 
 
 I. For polyuria : 
 
 Camphor, powder av.oz. Yi 
 
 Ginger av.oz. V/2 
 
 Rye flour av.oz. 8 
 
 Water to form a mass 
 
 Give one-eighth of this mass mornings 
 and evenings. If the disease still lingers 
 on the fifth day, the following is recom- 
 mended: 
 
 Camphor av.oz. ^2 
 
 Alum av.oz. 1 
 
 Dippel's oil fl.oz. 1 
 
 White oak bark av.oz. 1 
 
 Angelica root av.oz. 3 
 
 Rye flour av.oz. i}/£ 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Reduce all the solid drugs to powder, 
 mix well and add enough water to form 
 a soft mass or paste. 
 
 Give a piece the size of a hen's egg 3 
 times daily spread upon the tongue. 
 II. For anuria : 
 
 Juniper berries, crushed av.oz. 5 
 
 Chamomile av.oz. 1 
 
 Make an infusion by pouring on 6 
 pints of hot water, allow to stand 15 
 minutes, and strain through cloth, ex- 
 pressing the residue in the strainer. 
 
 Administer one-third of this infusion 
 and use the remainder as an enema. 
 
 III. The urine may also become 
 bloody, due usually to mechanical injury, 
 such as sprains or fractures of the loins, 
 or to stone in the bladder, kidney, etc. 
 If the disease is due to mechanical in- 
 jury, treatment should consist first in 
 removing the cause whenever possible, 
 and then in applying general and local 
 styptics. Irritants in the food must be 
 avoided and stones in the bladder or 
 uretha removed. Then mucilagenous 
 drinks should be given freely, such as 
 slippery elm or linseed tea, and styptics, 
 such as tincture of iron chlorid, 3 fluid- 
 drams; lead acetate, 30 grains; tannic 
 acid, 30 grains, or oil of turpentine, 1 
 fluidounce. 
 
 IV. See also Bladder Inflammation 
 and Diuretic Remedies. 
 
 Worms, Treatment for. 
 
 Poorly-fed animals are more subject 
 to these parasites than well-fed animals.

 III. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry states that among the best worm 
 medicines may be mentioned santonin, 
 oil of turpentine, tartar emetic, creolin, 
 infusion of tobacco and bitter tonics. To 
 destroy tape-worms, areca nut, male fern 
 and pumpkin seeds are the best. 
 
 If a horse is passing the long, round 
 worms, the plan of treatment is to give 
 
 twice daily for 3 or 4* days a drench com- 
 posed of oil of turpentine or creolin, I 
 fluidounce, and raw linseed oil, 2 or 3 
 fluidounces, to be followed on the fourth 
 day by a purge of 1 ounce of aloes. Or 
 the treatment may consist of 2 drams of 
 santonin with 1 or 2 drams of calomel. 
 This dose should not be repeated, but 
 should be followed in 6 hours by a quart 
 of raw linseed oil. 
 
 If pinworms are present (the ones 
 that infest the large bowels), injections 
 into the rectum of infusions of tobacco 
 or quassia chips, 4 ounces to the gallon, 
 once or twice daily for a few days, and 
 followed by a purge are beneficial. 
 
 DIVISION II— CATTLE MEDICINES. 
 
 The doses in the following formulas, 
 when not otherwise specified, are intend- 
 ed for a full-grown animal, consequently 
 when the medicines are to be adminis- 
 tered to young, small or weak animals 
 a corresponding reduction must be made 
 in the size of the dose, while for unus- 
 ually large and strong cattle the doses 
 may be increased. For young cattle the 
 following will serve as a general guide. 
 
 Dose Required at Different Ages. 
 
 At I year, 25% of the adult dose. 
 
 At 2 years, 50*% of the adult dose. 
 
 At 3 to 4 years, 75% of the adult dose. 
 Administering Medicines. 
 
 Medicines may be administered to cat- 
 tle by the mouth, by injection into the 
 rectum, vagina, udder, veins, trachea, or 
 under the skin, by insufflation into the 
 nostrils, or they may be applied exter- 
 nally. 
 
 When systemic effects are desired, they 
 are administered by the mouth or subcu- 
 taneously, or, very occasionally, by the 
 rectum. 
 
 The simplest way to give medicines by 
 the mouth is to mix them with the food 
 or water. This can be done when the 
 medicine is in the form of a powder or 
 liquid, if but a small quantity is to be 
 given, or if it does not have a taste that 
 is: disagreeable to the animal and is not 
 
 so irritant as to injure the lining mem- 
 branes of the mouth and throat. 
 
 The usual method of administering 
 bulky or unpalatable doses is to mix 
 them with a liquid vehicle, such as water, 
 milk, molasses or beer, and to give them 
 from a bottle. In administering a drench 
 of this kind the head of the animal 
 should be elevated a little by an assist- 
 ant. This is best accomplished by stand- 
 ing on the left side of the animal's head 
 and grasping the nose with the thumb 
 and fingers of the right hand inserted in 
 the nostrils, and with the left hand be- 
 neath the chin; the head is still further 
 elevated and supported. If the animal is 
 unruly it may be tied in a stall or placed 
 in a stanchion. 
 
 The medicine can now be poured into 
 the mouth by inserting the neck of the 
 bottle between the lips on the right side. 
 Care must be taken to avoid getting the 
 bottle between the back teeth. The 
 mouth of the bottle should be inserted as 
 far as the middle of the tongue and the 
 liquid poured slowly. 
 
 If the cow coughs the head must be 
 lowered at once to permit the liquid to 
 escape from the larynx. If pouring of 
 the medicine is continued while the ani- 
 mal is coughing, some oi the drench 
 may pass down the windpipe to the 
 

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 lungs and cause a severe or even fatal 
 pneumonia. The bottle used must be 
 large and strong with a sloping neck, 
 without any sharp corners. 
 
 The amount of liquid to be given in a 
 drench depends on the effect sought and 
 upon the nature of the medicine. In im- 
 paction of the stomach very large quan- 
 tities of liquid may be given, as much as 
 a gallon, or several gallons at a time. 
 Usually, however, it is not customary or 
 desirable to give more than from I to 2 
 quarts at a dose, and not more than a 
 pint unless required by the irritant prop- 
 erties of the medicine. 
 
 Medicines that are soluble should be 
 completely dissolved before they are 
 given. Medicines that are insoluble should 
 be finely powdered and be well shaken 
 with the vehicle just before administra- 
 tion. In the latter case a menstruum 
 with considerable body, such as molasses, 
 flaxseed tea, or milk, will help to hold 
 solids or oils in suspension. 
 
 Boluses are sometimes given to larger 
 animals, but they are not so well adapted 
 to the medication of cattle as of horses. 
 Solution is much slower in the paunch 
 of the cow than in the stomach of the 
 horse, and if the cow is so sick as to 
 have stopped ruminating, the bolus may 
 become covered up and lost in the mass 
 of material in the paunch and remain 
 there for days without producing any 
 effect. 
 
 The large size or veterinary gelatine 
 capsules are convenient for administer- 
 ing boluses or even liquid medicines. 
 Capsules and boluses are administered 
 by being placed (previously moistened) 
 on the tongue, well back in the mouth 
 while the tongue is drawn forward and 
 the mouth is held open by means of a 
 block of wood placed between the back 
 teeth. The bolus or capsule should be 
 dropped, the tongue released, and the 
 block removed as nearly simultaneously 
 as possible, ^o that the backward move- 
 ment of the tongue will carry the bolus 
 or capsule into the throat and lead to its 
 
 being swallowed. Care must be taken to 
 avoid having the hand cut or crushed 
 while introducing the bolus or capsule. 
 
 Medicines are usually administered by 
 the rectum for the purpose of controll- 
 ing the bowels and for the treatment of 
 local diseases. Sometimes, however, 
 medicines that have a general effect are 
 given in this way when it is not possible 
 to give them through the mouth. Only 
 drugs that are readily absorbed should 
 be given per rectum for a general effect, 
 and they should be in somewhat larger 
 doses or used more frequently than when 
 given by the mouth. Such stimulants as 
 ether, alcohol or aromatic spirit of am- 
 monia, diluted with four to six times 
 their bulk of warm water, may be used 
 in this way. 
 
 Rectal injections, or enemata, are used 
 in the treatment of constipation. If it is 
 the purpose of the injection to soften 
 hardened fecal masses, the water should 
 be lukew T arm and it may have some soap 
 dissolved in it. If it is the purpose of 
 the injection to stimulate sluggish bow- 
 els to contraction, the water may be cold. 
 
 Actinomycosis, For. 
 
 Actinomycosis, commonly called "lumpy 
 jaw," or "big jaw," is caused by the 
 "ray fungus," scientifically known as ac- 
 tinomyces. It begins as a swelling or 
 enlargement of the jawbone. It may af- 
 fect either the upper or lower jawbone, 
 or both sides at the same time. The 
 swelling is painful under pressure and is 
 attached to the bone and skin. Finally 
 soft areas appear beneath the skin, which 
 break, forming ulcers or the openings of 
 fistulous tracts extending back into the 
 bone and discharging a yellowish, sticky 
 pus, which sometimes contains hard, yel- 
 low granules or fragments of bone. The 
 jaws become distorted, the teeth drop 
 out, and the destructive process becomes 
 greater and greater. 
 
 From what has been stated it will 
 readily be understood that early treat- 
 ment is necessary. When there is an 
 external opening on the surface of the 
 
CATTLE MEDICINES. 
 
 621 
 
 swelling, it should be injected with tinc- 
 ture of iodin. When there is no exter- 
 nal opening, the skin over the swelling 
 should be painted with the same liquid. 
 The treatment should be applied once 
 daily and should be continued until it is 
 apparent that the growth of the swell- 
 ing has been checked. 
 
 Internally potassium iodid should be 
 given in doses of 2 or 3 drams daily, di- 
 vided into 2 doses, and given morning 
 and evening in a pint of warm water. 
 This should be continued for 2 weeks, 
 then stopped for 10 days, to be recontin- 
 ued if found necessary. 
 Appetite, Loss of, For. 
 
 Unless the loss of appetite is the pre- 
 cursor of more serious affection, it may 
 be treated as a simple disturbance of di- 
 gestion. Any of the mixtures mentioned 
 under Condition Powders in the division 
 of Horse Medicines are supposed to pro- 
 duce an improvement in the appetite.

 Gentian, powder av.oz. 2 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 2

 Give 2 tablespoonfulb to a large ani- 
 mal, 1 tablespoon ful to a small animal, 
 once a day, stirred with some water to 
 make a paste. If this be continued for 8 
 days, it is said to produce a wonderful 
 improvement in the appetite. 
 
 II. 
 
 Gentian, powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Magnesium sulfate av.oz. 10 
 
 Mix with 1 quart of warm water and 
 
 give at 1 dose.

 Sodium bicarbonate gr. 300 
 
 Rhubarb, powder gr. 75 
 
 Divide into 2 doses and give each in a 
 
 cup of chamomile tea. 
 
 Appetite, Depraved, Remedies. 
 
 Cattle affected with this disease have 
 a variable and capricious appetite in re- 
 gard to their regular food, but are liable 
 to lick and eat substances for which 
 healthy cattle show no inclination. They 
 
 frequently lick lime, coal, earth, gravel, 
 and even the dung of other animals. 
 
 The aim in such cases should be to im- 
 prove the process of digestion and to 
 supply the animal with a sufficiency of 
 wholesome food. The following should 
 also be given : 
 
 Iron carbonate av.oz. 4 
 
 Gentian av.oz. 4 
 
 Fenugreek av.oz. 4 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 8 
 
 Finely ground bone ("bone 
 flour") 16 
 
 Reduce all to fine powder and mix 
 well. 
 
 Give a heaping tablespoonful 3 times a 
 day. In addition to this, 3 tablespoon- 
 fuls of powdered charcoal may be mixed 
 with the animal's food 3 times a day, 
 and a piece of rock salt should be placed 
 where the animal can lick it at will. 
 Blisters. 
 
 If a blister for cattle, use one of those 
 mentioned under Blisters in the division 
 on Horses. 
 Bowels, Inflammation of. 
 
 See Stomach and Bowels, Remedies 
 for Inflammation of the. 
 
 Bronchitis, Remedies for. 
 
 Bronchitis is an inflammation of the 
 mucous membrane of the bronchial 
 tubes. When a primary disease it is 
 generally the result of what is known as 
 "catching cold." It may be secondary to 
 or complicated with many of the dis- 
 eases of the respiratory system. It may 
 also be caused by breathing irritating 
 gases, or by the introduction of foreign 
 bodies into the bronchial tubes, which 
 sometimes results from injudicious or 
 careless drenching when the larynx is in 
 a temporarily relaxed state. It may be 
 acute or chronic, and is divided, accord- 
 ing to the seat of the inflammation, into 
 bronchitis proper when the large tubes 
 are affected, and capillary bronchitis 
 when the smaller tubes are affected. 
 
 The animal should be placed in a 
 light, well-ventilated box and kept warm 
 with blankets. The bowels should be 
 kept in a soft condition by means of 
 

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Bronchitis (Cont'd). 
 enemas, etc., but avoiding violent purga- 
 tives. The food should be light and nu- 
 tritious. 
 
 In the early stages of the disease give 
 the following mixture 3 times daily: 
 Fluid extract of belladonna .. n. dr. 2 
 Solution of ammonium 
 
 acetate- fl.oz. 4 
 
 Mix when giving with a half pint of 
 water. 
 
 In the later stages of the disease use 
 this twice daily : 
 
 Ammonium carbonate dr. 3 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether fl.oz. 1 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 3 
 
 Mix this also with a half pint of water 
 before administering. At the same time 
 give 1 grain of strychnine, preferably in 
 the form of pills or tablets containing 
 nearly this amount. 
 
 In some cases the following is prefer- 
 able to either of the above and may be 
 given with a pint of linseed tea every 4 
 hours : 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether fl.oz. lYi 
 
 Aromatic spirit of ammonia. fl.oz. 2 
 
 Gum camphor dr. 2 
 
 Bronchitis is liable to assume a chron- 
 ic form if not properly treated in its 
 early stages. Remedial. treatment is of 
 little avail when the disease becomes 
 chronic. 
 
 Burns and Scalds, Treatment. 
 
 For superficial burns, use carron oil 
 (equal parts of lime water and linseed 
 oil). This will exclude the atmosphere 
 and protect the inflamed skin. The blis- 
 ters should be opened to let the fluid es- 
 cape, but the cuticle raised by the blister 
 should be allowed to remain. When the 
 burn is extensive and deep sloughing oc- 
 curs, the parts should be treated like 
 other deep wounds, by poulticing, astrin- 
 gent washes, etc. When the system has 
 sustained much shock, internal stimu- 
 lants may be required, such as 4 fluid- 
 ounces of whisky or 2 drams of am- 
 monium carbonate, every hour until the 
 animal rallies. When the pain is very 
 great, hypodermic injections of 6 grains 
 
 of morphine may be administered every 
 
 6 hours. 
 
 Carbolic Composition. 
 
 See under Horse Medicine. This will 
 I be found equally valuable for cattle. 
 Colic Remedies. 
 
 Colic is usually the result of too great 
 indulgence in indigestible food; if not 
 properly attended to may cause death. 
 As a rule, the animal is constipated, eats 
 nothing, but drinks a great deal, groans, 
 etc. If there is no movement of the 
 bowels within 3 days, the affection is 
 likely to prove fatal. 
 
 Treatment consists in emptying the 
 bowels by means of the w r ell-oiled hand, 
 after which enemas are to be given every 
 hour. Internally oleaginous cathartics 
 are to be given, to be followed, when 
 the bowels have had a movement, with 
 stomachic remedies. 
 
 I. For enema : 
 
 Green soap av.oz. 4 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 4 
 
 Linseed oil, raw fl.oz. 8

 II. Cathartic drench : 
 
 Magnesium sulfate av.oz. 8 
 
 Linseed oil fl.oz. 32 
 
 Chamomile infusion (1 to 
 
 20) . : fl.oz. 96 
 
 Give 1 quart every 4 hours, until all is 
 given, or until the bowels act. If the 
 bowels act before all is administered, 
 the medicine is to be discontinued. 
 
 III. Stomachic: 
 
 Ginger dr. 2}/ 2 
 
 Mustard dr. 2 l / 2 
 
 Gentian dr. 2y 2 
 
 Reduce all to powder and mix well. 
 Give 1 such powder in a pint of warm 
 water when the bowels have acted and 
 the colic has passed off. 
 
 IV. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry directs walking the animal about 
 for 10 minutes before administering any 
 remedy, as this allows time for a por- 
 tion of the contents of the stomach to 
 pass into the bowel, and renders it safe 
 to give medicine. In many cases the 
 walking exercise and the evacuation of

 the bowel result in a cure of the disor- 
 der. If the pains still persist, give a 
 mixture of i fluidounce each of ether 
 and tincture of opium, shaken up with a 
 pint of warm water, and repeat the dose 
 in half an hour if the animal is not re- 
 lieved. 
 Condition Powders. 
 
 The "condition powders" mentioned 
 under Horse Medicines are equally suit- 
 able for cattle. 
 Constipation Remedies. 
 
 Constipation may result from unsuita- 
 ble food, but may also be the accom- 
 paniment of other diseases. 
 
 Treatment consists in giving purga- 
 tives and enemas and in emptying the 
 bowels by means of the hands, previous- 
 ly w T ell oiled. 
 I. 
 
 Black antimony dr. 3 
 
 Argols (crude tartar) av.oz. %

 IV. For subcutaneous use: 
 
 Eserine sulfate gr. 2 l / 2 
 
 Distilled water m. 90 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 This may be injected subcutaneously 
 to produce an evacuation of the bowels. 
 Dehorning of Cattle. 
 
 The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry 
 states that a 2 or 3-days-old calf may be 
 dehorned, or more properly speaking, 
 the development of the horns may be 
 
 prevented, by the use of a stick of caus- 
 tic potash. The operation is performed 
 as follows, and is uniformly successful 
 if the calf is not more than 3 days old : 
 The animal is gently laid over on its 
 side, in which position it is easily held 
 by an assistant, while the operator clips 
 the hair off the little prominence on the 
 frontal bone which marks the spot on 
 the uppermost side of the head where 
 the horn would be developed. Then dip 
 the stick of caustic potash in water and 
 carefully rub it over the spot just clip- 
 ped for about 10 seconds. The calf is 
 now to be turned over and the corre- 
 sponding portion of the frontal bone on 
 the other side is to be clipped and cau- 
 terized in the same manner. By this 
 time the side first treated is dry and 
 should receive a second application of 
 potash. Give the other side a second 
 treatment of potash, and if the matrix 
 of the horn has been located and the 
 caustic has been properly applied no 
 horns will ever make their appearance. 
 
 Diarrhea, Remedies for. 
 
 Diarrhea may arise from a "cold" or 
 may be an accompaniment of other dis- 
 orders. 
 
 The remedies used are usually efficient, 
 but it is also necessary to cause the ani- 
 mal to perspire by rubbing and then to 
 cover it warmly. It is also essential to 
 put the sick animal in a warm and 
 roomy stall, free from drafts. 
 
 The food should be restricted to a lit- 
 tle dry feed (good hay, etc.), no green 
 food being permissible and in place of 
 cold water, warm starchy or mucilagin- 
 ous water should be given.

 mainder in the evening, in i pint of 
 warm water. 
 
 III. The U. S. Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry states that when the disease de- 
 pends on irritating properties of the 
 food which has been supplied to the ani- 
 mal, it is advisable to give a mild purga- 
 tive such as a pint of castor or linseed 
 oil. When the secretions of the bowels 
 are irritating, an ounce of magnesium 
 carbonate and half an ounce of tincture 
 of opium should be shaken up in a quart 
 of linseed tea and given to the animal 
 3 times a day until the stools present a 
 normal appearance. When there is de- 
 bility, want of appetite, no fever, but a 
 continuance of the watery discharges 
 from the bowels, then an astringent may 
 be given, such as tannic acid, i av. ounce, 
 powdered gentian, 2 av. ounces ; mix and 
 divide into 12 powders. One powder is 
 to be given 3 times daily until the stools 
 present a normal appearance. Each pow- 
 der may be mixed with 8 fluidounces of 
 whisky or blackberry brandy and a pint 
 of water. 
 Diarrhea in Sucking Calves, For. 
 
 Diarrhea in young calves is a rather 
 common as well as serious complaint. It 
 may be due to catching "cold" or it may 
 be caused by a fault in the milk. 
 
 Wrap up the animal warmly and ad- 
 minister internal medicines as below and 
 also use suppositories to avoid irritation 
 of the bowels.

 Cocoa butter gr. 180 
 
 Mix and form into 4 suppositories; 
 insert 1 morning and evening after a 
 passage of the bowels, inserting it as far 
 up as can be done with the oiled finger. 
 
 Dysentery, Remedies for. 
 
 Dysentery may arise from a "cold" or 
 from eating damaged food. Spring and 
 autumn are the times when the affection 
 is most common, owing to sudden and 
 rapid changes in temperature. This dis- 
 order is due to inflammation of the gas- 
 trointestinal tract, and results in fre- 
 quent stools of an offensive odor, and is 
 often accompanied by fever. At first the 
 stools contain undigested food, later, 
 clots of blood, and subsequently they 
 may be almost entirely bloody in charac- 
 ter. Treatment must be started early in 
 the course of the disease, as otherwise it 
 may prove fatal. 
 
 Treatment consists in energetic fric- 
 tion of the abdomen with turpentine oil 
 and wrapping in warm blankets, this to 
 be repeated every 2 hours. Internally 
 give opium or astringents but always in 
 combination with mucilaginous drinks 
 and oil. To alleviate the painful strain- 
 ing incident to the frequent defecation, 
 it is advisable to use one of the below- 
 mentioned enemas. 
 I. 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 75 
 
 Alum, powder av.oz. 1

 straining at defecation ceases, or better, 
 inject after each evacuation of the bow- 
 els. 
 Dysentery in Sucking Calves. 
 
 Dysentery in sucking calves sets in 
 soon after birth and usually proves fatal. 
 The disorder is infectious and the ut- 
 most cleanliness is required to guard 
 against it. Treatment must be begun as 
 early as possible if the animal is to be 
 saved. The animal is to be wrapped up 
 in woolen blankets, and given internal 
 remedies and rectal suppositories to re- 
 lieve the painful straining due to fre- 
 quent defecation.

 After every evacuation of the bowels, 
 wash the anus with lead water, and in- 
 sert a suppository as far as possible into 
 the rectum by means of the oiled finger. 
 Eczema Remedies. 
 
 Eczema is not so common among cat- 
 tle as in horses and dogs', in which it is 
 the most common of all skin diseases. 
 It is occasionally observed under sys- 
 tems of bad hygiene, filthiness, lousiness, 
 overcrowding, overfeeding, excessively 
 damp or too warm stables. It is found 
 to develop now and then in cattle that 
 are fed upon sour substances, distillery 
 swills, house and garden garbage, etc. 
 
 There is no one method of treatment 
 which will always prove successful, no 
 matter how early it is begun or how 
 small an area is involved. Special at- 
 tention should be given to the general 
 health of the animal and its environ- 
 ment. Feeding should be moderate in* 
 quantity and not too stimulating in char- 
 acter — green feed, bran mashes, ground 
 oats, clean hay, and plenty of salt. If 
 the animal has been fed too high, give 
 an active purgative, epsom salt prefer- 
 red, once a week if necessary, and half 
 an ounce of potassium acetate or nitrate 
 may be given in the feed twice a day. If 
 the animal is in poor condition and de- 
 bilitated, give a tablespoonful of the fol- 
 lowing mixture in the feed twice a day : 
 
 Ferrous sulfate, 
 
 Gentian, 
 
 Sulfur, 
 
 Sassafras bark, each, equal parts. 
 
 If the animal is lousy, the parasite 
 must be destroyed before the animal can 
 be cured. The external treatment must 
 vary with the character of the lesions; 
 no irritating applications should be made 
 while the disease is in its acute vesicular, 
 or pustular stage, and in the chronic 
 stage, active stimulants must be used. 
 Much washing is harmful, yet crusts 
 and scales must be removed in order to 
 obtain satisfactory results from external 
 applications. Both objects can be ob- 
 tained by judiciously combining the cur- 
 ative agents with such agents as will at 
 the same time cleanse the skin. 
 
 In the vesicular stage, when the 'skin 
 is feverish and the skin is peeling off, 
 exposing the moist dermis, an applica- 
 tion of boric acid solution, 1 ounce to 
 a quart of water, will often relieve the 
 smarting or itching, and also serves to 
 check the exudation and dry the surface. 
 If it fails to have the desired effect, use 
 creolin, 1 ounce to a quart of water, as 
 a wash. Either of these washes may be 
 used several times a day until incrusta- 
 tion is well established. Then use creo- 
 lin, 1 ounce to a pint of sweet oil, or

 zinc salve, giving the affected surface a 
 thorough application once a day. 
 
 In chronic eczema, when there is a 
 succession of scabs, or scales, or indo- 
 lent sores, or fissures, ointment of am- 
 moniated mercury, citrin ointment, or 
 mercurial ointment, each diluted with an 
 equal amount of petrolatum, may be ap- 
 plied every second day, taking care so 
 that the animal can not lick the parts. 
 
 In some cases the following mixture 
 will act beneficially : 
 
 Oil of tar fl.oz. I 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 2 
 
 Alcohol, to make fl.oz. 2> 2 
 
 Rub this in after cleansing the parts 
 with warm water and soap. 
 
 The internal administration of arsenic 
 often gives excellent results in chronic 
 eczema. It may be given in the form of 
 Fowler's solution, i ounce twice a day 
 in water after feeding. - 
 
 An alkali internally may be of service. 
 As such give 2 ounces of sodium bicar- 
 bonate twice daily. Sulfur may also be 
 tried in ounce doses twice daily. 
 
 Eye, Inflammation of. 
 
 Inflammation of the eye is usually of 
 a catarrhal character caused by catching 
 "cold." The eye first appears reddened, 
 then tears begin to flow, and a mucous 
 substance appears which has a tendency 
 to stick the eyelids together. 
 
 Treatment consists in washing with 
 warm milk and applying this solution 
 every hour :

 Fever Medicines. 
 
 Fever is usually an accompaniment of 
 various diseases, but in the absence of 
 knowledge of what the disease is the 
 fever should be treated directly by ad- 
 ministering purgatives with saltpeter; 
 cold water enemas may also be used. 
 The following will prove useful :

 Flies, Treatment for. 
 
 The remedies mentioned under Horse 
 Medicines are recommended for cattle. 
 
 Foot-Rot, Remedies for. 
 
 In the earlier stages of the disease, be- 
 fore pus forms beneath the horn, a thor- 
 ough cleansing and an application of a 
 5% carbolic acid solution, clean stabling 
 and laxative food will usually remedy 
 the evil. Solution of cresol U. S. P. is 
 also an excellent application. It should 
 be applied to the suppurating tissue be- 
 tween the claws in undiluted state. Care 
 must be taken to avoid contact of this 
 liquid with the skin about the coronary 
 band or heels. If deep sloughing has 
 taken place the carbolic or cresol solu- 
 tion should be used and a wad of oakum 
 or cotton smeared with pine tar should 
 be secured firmly in the cleft. Some- 
 times warm poulticing with flaxseed 
 meal or bran becomes necessary to re- 
 lieve excessive fever and pain. If the 
 pus burrows under the horn, its channel 
 must be followed by paring away the 
 horn until the bottom is reached. The 
 after-treatment should be the same as 
 that already recommended. 
 
 The following ointment is also good : 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 1 
 
 Rosin av.oz. 1 
 
 Linseed oil, raw .fl.oz. 2

 mixture. 
 Founder, Remedies for. 
 
 Founder or laminitis does not usually 
 occur in such a severe form in the cow 
 as in the horse, but a mild form, denom- 
 inated "foot soreness," is fairly common. 
 It may be caused by overfeeding, over-

 Keating, continued standing without ex- 
 ercise on a stone or cement floor with- 
 out sufficient bedding, or by driving long 
 distances over rough or stony soil. 
 
 The inflammation is usually relieved 
 by applying cold packs to the feet, or 
 standing the animal on a soft floor in a 
 stream of running water. It may be 
 well to give a full dose of epsom salt, i 
 to iY 2 pounds, followed by l / 2 ounce 
 doses of saltpeter 2 or 3 times a day.

 Indigestion Remedies. 
 
 Indigestion is generally produced by 
 irregular feeding or indigestible food, 
 without taking sufficient exercise, or 
 from eating large quantities of non-nu- 
 tritious food. 
 
 The symptoms are irregular passage 
 of feces of an offensive cdor, the mouth 
 is slimy, the tongue is coated, the appe- 
 tite is much diminished, and the animal 
 chews its cud but little. 
 
 The treatment consists in the adminis- 
 tration of mild laxatives combined with 
 bitter tonics, and of hydrochloric acid. 
 
 During the illness the animal should 
 be fed only with very easily digestible 
 food.

 Indigestion in Young Calves. 
 
 The treatment must vary with the 
 cause. If there is any irritant matter in 
 the bowels, give 1 or 2 ounces of castor 
 oil with 20 drops of tincture of opium. 
 If the sour eructations are marked, a 
 tablespoonful of lime water or 2 drams 
 of calcined magnesia may be given 2 or 
 3 times a day. If the disorder continues 
 after the removal of the irritant, give 30 
 grains of pepsin with a teaspoonful of 
 tincture of gentian at each meal time. 
 Any return of constipation must be 
 treated by injections of warm water and 
 soap. 
 Insect Bites and Stings. 
 
 See following heading under Horse 
 Medicines: Bee, Wasp and Hornet 
 Stings; Flies, Treatment for; and Mos- 
 quito Oil. 
 Itching, Remedies for. 
 
 Itching is not a disease, only a sensa- 
 tion. It is an affection produced by 
 slight irritation from without or by an 
 internal cause acting upon the sensory 
 nerves of the skin. Nothing character- 
 istic is seen except the secondary lesions 
 produced mechanically by scratching or 
 rubbing. 
 
 A common cause of itching is dirt on 
 the skin, due to insufficient care. If the 
 ceiling of the stable is open so that dust 
 and straw may fall down, the skin is ir- 
 ritated and itching may result. It also 
 occurs in some forms of indigestion. It 
 may be due to affections of the liver or 
 kidneys when an increase of effete ma- 
 terial has to be thrown off by the skin. 
 Some irritating substances when eaten 
 may be excreted by the skin and thus 
 coming in direct contact with the sen- 
 sory nerves produce itching. In another 
 class of cases the itching may be due to 
 an atrophy, contraction or hardening of 
 the skin when the nerves become irri- 
 tated by the pressure. 
 
 The chief reliance in treating this 
 symptom must be change of food, plen- 
 ty of exercise, and in most cases the ad- 
 ministration of a cathartic, 1 to V/2 
 
f>?S 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Itching (Cont'd). 
 
 pounds of epsom salt mixed with a 
 handful of salt, a tablespoonful of gin- 
 ger or black pepper, and about 2 quarts 
 of water. Afterwards a half ounce of 
 sodium hyposulfite may be given twice a 
 day for a week, mixed with the feed. 
 For external application when the skin 
 is abraded or thickened from rubbing, a 
 solution of borax, 2 ounces to a quart 
 of water, may be used. A solution of 
 carbolic acid, a half-ounce to a quart of 
 water, may give relief in some cases. 
 Jaundice, Treatment for. 
 
 Jaundice may emanate from the liver 
 or may result from intestinal catarrh. As 
 in the human subject, it is manifested by 
 yellow discoloration of the mucous mem- 
 brane of the mouth, of the white of the 
 eye, etc. The urine becomes dark and 
 the feces light colored; the appetite is 
 diminished and the animal becomes 
 emaciated. 
 
 Treatment consists in giving calomel 
 and sodium sulfate and applying coun- 
 ter-irritant ointments in the region of 
 the liver. If no benefit results from this 
 treatment, then the sodium sulfate should 
 be given with aloes, rhubarb and juniper 
 berries.

 Lice Exterminators. 
 
 Lice are most apt to trouble young 
 animals, only troubling old ones when 
 
 they are very dirty. Green soap and to- 
 bacco are the agents usually employed.

 Rub the places infested by lice thor- 
 oughly with the above, and wash off the 
 next day with warm soda solution. When 
 the animal is again dry repeat this oper- 
 ation twice. The lice generally die after 
 the second application.

 Mange, Treatment for. 
 
 Mange or scabies in cattle is like 
 mange in other animals a contagious dis- 
 ease caused by an acarus or mite. There 
 are two kinds of these acari in cattle, 
 the psoroptes and symbiotes. The for- 
 mer are the ones which most frequently 
 affect cattle. The U. S. Bureau of Ani- 
 mal Industry advises dipping mangy cat- 
 tle in dipping tanks in the same manner 
 as sheep are dipped (see Scab, Treat- 
 ment for, in Division III). The follow- 
 ing dipping solution is recommended : 
 
 Sulfur av.lb. 24 
 
 Unslaked lime av.lb. 12 
 
 Water .gal. 100 
 
 Both lime and sulfur should be weigh- 
 ed, not guessed at. Slake the lime with 
 enough water to form a paste, and into 
 this sift the sulfur and mix well. Then 
 add this mixture to 25 or 30 gallons of 
 boiling water contained in a kettle or 
 boiler and boil the mixture for 2 hours 
 at least, frequently stirring the liquid 
 and sediment. The boiling should be

 continued until the sulfur disappears, or 
 almost disappears from the surface of 
 the liquid, when the latter will have a 
 chocolate or liver color. Water must be 
 added from time to time to replace that 
 lost by evaporation. Finally add enough 
 water to make about ioo gallons of li- 
 quid. The liquid only should be used 
 for dipping. 
 
 During the dipping of the cattle if the 
 liquid becomes filthy it should be chang- 
 ed, regardless of the number of cattle 
 dipped. It should never be used when 
 more than 10 days old. The tempera- 
 ture of the liquid when used for dipping 
 should be from 102 to no deg. F.

 Milk, For Rapid Curdling of. 
 
 There are conditions of cows when 
 the milk soon becomes curdled in spite 
 of the utmost cleanliness. The follow- 
 ing mixtures may remove the difficulty. 
 Of course foods containing the least 
 amount of acid should be given the ani- 
 mal.

 Milk, Red and Blue, Remedies. 
 Red Milk. 
 Blood may escape with the milk when 
 the udder has been injured by blows, or 
 when it is congested or inflamed or when 
 the circulation has been suddenly in- 
 creased by richer or more abundant 
 food. The milk frothing up and assum- 
 ing a pink tinge is often the first sign of 
 "red water" and it may result from eat- 
 ing acrid, or irritant plants like the ra- 
 nunculacae, resinous plants, etc. Depos- 
 its of tubercle or tumors in the udder, or 
 induration of the gland may be causes, 
 irritation due to milking contributing to 
 draw the blood. There may also be a 
 reddish tinge or sediment in milk when 
 madder or logwood has been eaten. If 
 milk becomes red after it is drawn, this 
 may be due to presence in it of the Mic- 
 rococcus prodigiosus. 
 See also Udder, Inflammation of. 
 The treatment must vary with the 
 cause. In congested glands give 1 pound 
 of epsom salt and daily thereafter ^2 
 ounce of saltpeter with a dram of potas- 
 sium chlorate, also bathe the bag with 
 hot or cold water and rub with cam- 
 phorated oil. If the food is too rich or 
 too abundant it must be reduced. If the 
 disorder is due to acrid plants these 
 
(!30

 Milk Diseases (Cont'd). 
 
 must be removed from the pasture or 
 fodder. If there is induration of the 
 udder, this may be overcome by rubbing 
 with a mixture of iodin ointment i part, 
 green soap, 2 parts, or a mixture of 
 mercurial ointment and green soap may 
 be used. Of course, care should be ex- 
 ercised in milking. 
 
 Blue Milk. 
 Watery milk is always bluish, but the 
 presence of the germ Bacillus cyanogens 
 causes a distinct blue shade even in rich 
 milk and cream. It may reach the milk- 
 after it has been drawn, or it may find 
 its way into the opening of the milk 
 ducts and enter the milk as it is drawn. 
 In the latter case, frequent milking and 
 the injection into the teats of a solution 
 of 60 grams of sodium hyposulfite in 8 
 fluidounces of water will serve to de- 
 stroy them. 
 
 If the milk is bluish simply because it 
 is watery, the following remedy should 
 be administered: 
 
 Caraway seed av.oz. 1 
 
 Gentian av.oz. 1 
 
 Calamus av.oz. 1 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.oz. 4 
 
 Reduce all to powder and mix well. 
 Give a tablespoonful with each meal. 
 Mosquito Oil. 
 
 See same heading under Horse Medi- 
 cines. This preparation is also useful 
 for cattle. 
 Ointments. 
 
 The ointments mentioned under Horse 
 Medicines are also suitable for cattle. 
 Parturition Fever (Milk Fever). 
 
 Parturition fever usually occurs sev- 
 eral days after calving. The animal re- 
 fuses to eat food, is very restless, trem- 
 bles violently, and then lies down with- 
 out being able to get up again. Sub- 
 sequently the animal lies on its side, 
 gnashes its teeth, etc. The symptoms 
 follow each other rapidly, and if the ani- 
 mal is not treated so as to be on the 
 road to recovery in 5 days, the disease 
 will prove fatal. The animal must be 
 
 kept in a warm stall, free from drafts, 
 having a thick, high bed of dry straw. 
 It should be kept covered with woolen 
 blankets. Give saline purgatives and in- 
 ject cool enemas with soap water. If 
 the bowels have operated, give carmina- 
 tives containing ether. Rub the small of 
 the back with counter-irritant ointments. 
 For the fever, give salicylic acid which 
 may be added to the purgative as well 
 as to the carminative. When the animal 
 begins to eat again, give it warm, soft 
 foods (bran mashes with linseed meal, 
 etc.). The udder should be carefully 
 emptied every hour during the course of 
 the disease. 
 
 I. Purgative : 
 
 Camphor dr. 5 
 
 Salicylic acid av.oz. 1% 
 
 Sodium sulfate av.oz. 14 
 
 Mix well and divide into 4 powders. 
 Give 1 powder every 4 hours in a pint 
 
 of warm chamomile tea. If purgation 
 ensues before all the powders are given, 
 the latter are to be discontinued. 
 
 II. For the fever : 
 
 Valerian root, cut av.oz. 4 
 
 Sodium salicylate av.oz. 1 
 
 Spirit of ether fl.dr. 5 
 
 Water pints 5 
 
 Pour 5 pints of boiling water on the 
 valerian, let stand for x / 2 hour, then 
 strain, adding warm water through the 
 strainer to make the liquid measure 5 
 pints. To the colature add the other in- 
 gredients. 
 
 Give 1 pint of this mixture every hour. 
 Rheumatism Remedies. 
 
 In most cases, rheumatism is the re- 
 sult of catching "cold/' It may be ac- 
 companied with fever or there may be 
 none. The febrile form usually lasts 8 
 to 10 days, the other may persist for 
 several weeks. The treatment for the 
 first kind consists in first bleeding a vein, 
 then giving purgatives containing salt- 
 peter. The second kind requires diuretic 
 and purgative treatment.

 Reduce to powder, mix, and divide 
 into 4 portions. 
 
 This is used as a purgative, I powder 
 being given every 3 hours in a quart of 
 warm water. 
 II. 
 
 When there is fever, sodium salicylate 
 in about i-ounce doses may be adminis- 
 tered every 3 hours in a pint of warm 
 water. It is not well to continue this 
 treatment indefinitely on account of the 
 danger of weakening the heart. The 
 drug may be given continuously for a 
 day as directed, after which 1 or 2 doses 
 only per day should be given. 
 III. 
 
 When there is no fever the following 
 may be recommended: 
 
 Arnica flowers av.oz. 3J/2 
 
 Juniper berries, crushed av.oz. 2> l / 2 
 
 Ammonium chlorid av.oz. 1 
 
 Aloes av.oz. 1 
 
 Water, boiling pints 7 
 
 Pour the water upon the arnica and 
 juniper, let stand X A hour, strain, and in 
 the colature dissolve the remaining in- 
 gredients. 
 
 Warm I quart of this mixture and 
 give every 5 hours. 
 IV. Application : 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.dr. 6 
 
 Spirit of camphor fl.oz. yy 2 
 
 This mixture should be applied to the 
 swollen joints every 6 hours. 
 Rickets of Calves. 
 
 This is caused by improper feeding, 
 together with a "cold." The joints of 
 the legs become swollen, feverish and 
 painful, the animals suckle less and less, 
 finally get cramps, and then die. A pre- 
 ventive of this disease is to mix some 
 bone ash daily with the mother cow's 
 feed, and it is also advisable to admin- 
 ister about 80 grains once daily to the 
 calf. 
 
 If the disease is advanced, rub the 
 joints with alcoholic liniments, and give 
 bone ash or oyster shell in milk; if 
 there is diarrhea treat it by the usual 
 methods. See Diarrhea in Sucking 
 Calves, For. 
 
 I. This powder is to be given to 
 
 build up the bony system : 
 
 Levigated oyster shell av.oz. 4 
 
 Give as much as will lie on the point 
 
 of a small knife 3 times daily in milk. 
 
 II. For diarrhea: 
 
 Opium gr. 8 
 
 Magnesium carbonate gr. 40 
 
 Give this powder in 4 fluidounces of 
 
 warm chamomile tea. 
 
 III. If there is constipation, give 2 
 
 fluidounces of castor oil every 3 hours 
 
 in warm milk. 
 
 IV. For application :

 a misstep, bruise, or a fall, or it may be 
 
 due to a "cold," in which case it is of 
 
 rheumatic character. Treatment should 
 
 consist in applying mild counter-irritants 
 
 and in keeping the part warm.

 Stomach and Bowels, Inflammation 
 of the. 
 
 It is generally presumed that inflam- 
 mation of the stomach and bowels is the 
 result either of a "cold" or of eating- 
 some poisonous weed. 
 
632 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Stomach, Inflammation (Cont'd). 
 
 The affection is manifested by loss of 
 both appetite and thirst, restlessness, 
 swollen abdomen, constipation, etc. 
 
 Warm mashes should be given as food 
 and warm linseed meal water be given 
 in place of cold water to drink. Purga- 
 tives containing oil should be given, also 
 enemas, and the belly should be rubbed 
 with stimulant applications. The animal 
 should also be bled. 
 
 The following may also be adminis- 
 tered : 
 
 I. 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 90 
 
 Infusion of chamomile 
 
 (1 in 10) fl.oz. 32 
 
 Sodium sulfate av.oz. 10 
 
 Linseed oil fl.oz. 26 
 
 Administer 1 pint every hour until 
 constipation is overcome. 
 
 II. As an enema, mix i l / 2 ounces of 
 salt and 3 fluidounces of raw linseed oil 
 with a quart of soap water and inject 
 every 3 hours until the bowels are re- 
 lieved. 
 III. Application : 
 
 Linseed oil, raw fl.oz. 4 
 
 Ammonia water fl.oz. 4 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 4 
 
 Rub the abdomen with this every 3 
 hours. 
 Tetter or Ringworm. 
 
 Tetter usually attacks old, underfed 
 animals where stalls are poorly venti- 
 lated and unclean. 
 
 The stalls must first of all be thor- 
 oughly cleaned, aired and whitewashed 
 with lime, and the affected parts of the 
 animal treated with the following : 
 
 Green soap av.o" 10 
 
 Water fl.oz. 10 
 
 Pine tar av.oz. 5 
 
 Heat in a water bath until of a uni- 
 form consistency. 
 
 Wash the entire body of the animal 
 every 2 days with warm green soap solu- 
 tion (1 to 20), rinse with warm water 
 and when the animal is dry rub the 
 above ointment well in under the hair. 
 The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry 
 
 directs this treatment : Remove all crusts 
 by washing with soap and water, then 
 apply acetic acid, sulfur ointment, tinc- 
 ture of iodin or citrin ointment once a 
 day. Cleanse the stable and whitewash 
 it to destroy the spores scattered by the 
 crusts. 
 
 Texas or Tick Fever. 
 
 When the disease has broken out, all 
 animals, the sick as well as the healthy, 
 should at once be removed to another 
 non-infected pasture. While this may 
 not cut short the disease, it may save the 
 lives of some animals by removing them 
 from the possibility of being attacked 
 by more young ticks. Removal from in- 
 fected pastures likewise prevents a sec- 
 ond later attack in October or early in 
 November, which is caused by another 
 generation of ticks. It is true that sick 
 native animals infect with a new gener- 
 ation of ticks the pasture to which they 
 are removed, but these usually appear so 
 late that they have but little chance to 
 do any damage. 
 
 Medical treatment of the sick has gen- 
 erally been unsatisfactory except in 
 chronic cases and those occurring late in 
 the fall. . If the animal is constipated, a 
 drench consisting of 1 pound of epsom 
 salt in a quart of water may be admin- 
 istered, followed by 30 to 90-grain doses 
 of quinine sulfate, according to the size 
 of the animal, 4 times a day, until the 
 system is well saturated with it. Tinc- 
 ture of digitalis, 4 fluidrams, and whis- 
 key or alcohol, 2 fluidounces, may be 
 combined with the quinine, according to 
 indications of individual cases. The fol- 
 lowing tonic should be used in the con- 
 valescent stage when the fever has run 
 its course : 
 
 Reduced iron av.oz. 2 
 
 Nux vomica av.oz. 2 
 
 Rhubarb av.oz. 2 
 
 Gentian av.oz. 2 
 
 Potassium nitrate av.oz. 6 
 
 Reduce all to powder and mix well. 
 Give a heaping tablespoon ful in the 
 feed 3 times a day. 
 
CATTLE MEDICINES. 
 
 633 
 
 The animal should be given a nutri- 
 tious laxative diet with plenty of clean 
 and cool drinking water. 
 
 Experiments have been made by the 
 U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry with 
 regard to freeing cattle from ticks. 
 When the herd is small, a very effective 
 but laborious method is to pick off these 
 parasites by hand or to scrape them off 
 with a dull knife or currycomb. This 
 should be done at least three times a 
 week in order to find all the adults be- 
 fore they mature and drop off. After 
 removing the ticks, they should be de- 
 stroyed, preferably by burning. 
 
 Greasing the legs and sides of cattle 
 with cotton-seed oil, fish oil or crude 
 petroleum will assist in preventing the 
 ticks from crawling up on the body. In 
 small herds, smearing the cattle with a 
 mixture of I gallon of cotton-seed oil, 
 i gallon of kerosene and i pound of sul- 
 fur, or with a mixture of equal parts of 
 cotton-seed oil and crude petroleum has 
 proved efficacious when applied to the 
 skin 2 or 3 times a week during the tick 
 season. 
 Throat, Inflamamtion of. 
 
 Inflammation of the throat usually re- 
 sults from a "cold." The affected ani- 
 mal does not swallow readily, liquids 
 flowing out again through the nostrils, it 
 coughs a great deal, and respiration is 
 short and labored. The affection usually 
 lasts 6 to 8 days. Treatment consists in 
 making stimulating applications, such as 
 liniments or baths or ointments. 
 I. 
 
 Ammonia liniment fl.oz. 8 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 8 
 
 Rub the throat 3 times daily with this 
 mixture and then bind with flannel.

 Warm the solution and inject into the 
 mouth every half hour. Or a linen 
 
 cloth moistened with this solution may 
 be employed to wash out the mouth. 
 Thrush in Calves. 
 
 It will be observed that the calf is dis- 
 inclined to suckle its mother's teats. 
 Upon examination of the mouth, the 
 canker spots will be noticed. Treatment 
 consists in washing out the mouth every 
 2 hours with fresh water, then applying 
 the below mentioned lotion and giving 
 the powder.

 Tympanitis Remedies. 
 
 Tympanitis is the sudden production 
 of a large amount of gas in the first 
 stomach of the cow, which causes enor- 
 mous distention of the abdomen, owing 
 to failure of the gas to be discharged by 
 the mouth or anus. It appears most fre- 
 quently in animals which have just been 
 turned out to green pasture in conse- 
 quence of which they eat too greedily 
 and hastily. The disorder comes on rap- 
 idly and if not quickly relieved may 
 prove fatal. If the gas has accumulated 
 within the course of half an hour the 
 speediest and surest way to gain relief is 
 to puncture the rumen with a trochar. 
 Evacuation of gas through the oeso- 
 phagus is accomplished by pulling the 
 tongue out of the mouth or by traction 
 upon the commissures of the lips by 
 means of a knotted straw rope; this 
 gives rise to involuntary movements of 
 the tongue which produce eructations 
 and sometimes vomiting. The rectum 
 should be emptied by means of the oiled

 hand, after which enemas of soap water 
 should be injected and one of the fol- 
 lowing drenches administered : 
 
 I. 
 
 Potassium sulfid av.oz. 2 
 
 Rye flour av.oz. 2 
 
 Lime water pints 4 
 
 Give 1 pint at a dose every y 2 half. 
 II.

 III. 
 
 Aromatic spirit of 
 
 ammonia fl.oz. 2 
 
 Tincture of capsicum fl.dr. 2 
 
 Tincture of ginger fl.oz. 1 
 
 Water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Give at 1 dose. This may be repeated 
 in half an hour if no relief is obtained, 
 and if failing to relieve in another half 
 hour, resort should be had to the tro- 
 char. 
 
 IV. Tympanitis may become chronic 
 so that the animal bloats up after each 
 feeding but not enough to cause alarm. 
 Treatment should be commenced by giv- 
 ing this cathartic mixture: 
 
 Epsom or glauber's salt av.lb. 1 
 
 Ginger, powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Barbadoes aloes av.oz. l /z 
 
 Molasses pint 1 . 
 
 Water, lukewarm quarts 2 
 
 Mix the solids with the water and add 
 the molasses. 
 
 After purgation, the following tonic 
 and antacid should be given to promote 
 digestion : 
 
 Gentian av.oz. 3 
 
 Potassium bicarbonate av.oz. 3 
 
 Ginger av.oz. 3 
 
 Capsicum av.oz. 1 
 
 Reduce all to powder, mix well and 
 divide into 12 powders. 
 
 Give 1 powder 3 times a day before 
 feeding, mixed with a half pint of whis- 
 key and a pint of water. It is also of 
 advantage in such cases to give two 
 heaping teaspoonfuls of wood charcoal, 
 mixed with the animal's food, 3 times a 
 day. If the dung is hard, the constipa- 
 
 tion should be overcome by feeding a 
 
 little flaxseed twice daily or giving a 
 
 handful of glauber's salt in the feed 
 
 once or twice a day. Roots, silage and 
 
 other succulent foods should also be 
 
 given. 
 
 Udder, Inflammation of. 
 
 Inflamed udder may result from in- 
 jury or from cold, or as a result of 
 other diseases. In the first stages, the 
 milk appears normal, subsequently be- 
 coming thick and even purulent or 
 bloody. 
 
 Treatment consists in gently evacuat- 
 ing the udder mornings and evenings, 
 and limiting the animal to half rations, 
 which should consist of easily digestible 
 food. The udder should be bathed in 
 warm water after milking, and after 
 drying an antiseptic application should 
 be made. If the udder is hot and fever- 
 ish, the application should contain mer- 
 curial ointment. Saline purgatives should 
 be administered internally. 
 
 I. This is for use in the early stages : 
 
 Salicylic acid dr. 1 
 
 Camphorated oil fl.oz. 4 
 
 Rub the udder carefully twice daily. 
 
 II. To use when the udder is fever- 
 ish : 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 40 
 
 Mercurial ointment av.oz. 1 
 
 Camphorated oil fl.oz. 3 
 
 Apply like the preceding. 
 Urine Bloody. 
 
 This is generally brought about by 
 eating sour food or such as contain oxa- 
 lates, either fresh or dried, which is 
 generally the cause to be looked for. 
 
 Treatment consists in changing the 
 food. If the disease has been contracted 
 while grazing, change to hay, or if it 
 has been contracted from hay, place the 
 animal at pasture or give it green food. 
 If the change of food alone proves in- 
 sufficient then use the following: 
 
 Lead carbonate gr. 45 
 
 Sodium acetate dr. 2 l /x 
 
 Camphor, powder dr. 4 
 
 Precipitated chalk av.oz. 4 
 
 Mix and divide into 6 powders. 
 
CATTLE MEDICINES. 
 
 635 
 
 Give i powder in a quart of bran 
 mash morning and evening. 
 
 The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry 
 states that treatment must vary accord- 
 ing to the cause. If due to an irritant, a 
 saline purgative, say i to i^ pounds of 
 glauber's salt, will clear the irritants 
 from the bowels and allay the fever. It 
 will also serve to divert to the bowels 
 much of the irritant products already ab- 
 sorbed into the blood and will thus pro- 
 tect the kidneys. In many such cases a 
 liberal supply of wholesome, easily di- 
 gestible food will be all the additional 
 treatment required. Demulcent food, 
 such as boiled flaxseed or wheat bran, is 
 especially good. If much blood has been 
 lost, bitters and iron, such as gentian, 4 
 drams, ferrous sulfate, 2 drams, should 
 be given every day for a week. 
 
 For cases in which excess of diuretic 
 plants have been taken, the "salts" should 
 be replaced by a pint or two of olive oil, 
 adding 1 ounce of tincture of opium and 
 2 drams of gum camphor. In cases due 
 to sprained or fractured loins, to in- 
 flamed kidneys, or to stone or gravel, 
 the treatment will be as far as possible 
 for the particular ailment. 
 Worm Remedies. 
 
 Worms are readily produced by in- 
 sufficient feeding, and are expelled by 
 purgative worm medicines. It is impor- 
 tant to give the animal but little food on 
 the day previous, and to administer the 
 worm medicine and the purgative at the 
 same time. 
 
 Wormwood, powder 
 
 Tansy, powder 
 
 Aloes, powder 
 
 Dippel's oil 
 
 Linseed oil, raw . . . 
 
 Give in 2 doses, with an interval of 5 
 hours. 
 
 The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry 
 recommends as treatment for the twist- 
 ed wireworm a drench of a 1% solution 
 of coal-tar creosote in water, of which 
 1 dose will usually be sufficient, or gaso- 
 line of whieh 4 to 6 doses will be re- 
 quired. The doses will vary according 
 to the age of the animal, of the creosote

 solution from 8 ounces to a quart, of the 
 gasoline, y 2 to i l / 2 fluidounces. 
 
 For the encysted stomach worm there 
 appears to be no successful treatment. 
 Tape worms are frequent in cattle, but 
 they appear to do no particular harm. 
 
 If in addition to the twisted wire 
 worms, the animals are suffering from a 
 severe infection of bowel worms, such 
 as hookworms, to each dose of creosote 
 solution should be added 30 to 80 grains, 
 or even 100 grains, of thymol. The 
 above remedies, creosote solution and 
 gasoline, are equally suitable for sheep, 
 but using smaller doses. 
 
 Wounds, Treatment of. 
 
 Animals may be wounded in various 
 ways, as by barb-wire fences, by blows, 
 by being gored by other animals, etc. If 
 the wound is large and open it must be 
 sewed up. After-treatment of the wound 
 is of great importance. Formulas are 
 given in this Division under Ointments 
 and Liniments for preparations that may 
 be used as dressings or applications. 
 
 The first treatment of every wound is 
 a thorough cleansing. This may be ac- 
 complished by allowing water containing 
 2% of carbolic acid to flow over it and 
 picking out all foreign matter, dirt, 
 straw, oats, etc. When the wound and 
 adjacent parts are cleansed, dress with 
 "white lotion" (Lotio Alba — see formula 
 in Part I), or with a solution of 1 
 ounce of zinc chlorid to a quart of wa- 
 ter. In cold weather the parts may be 
 dressed with zinc salve. 
 
 In superficial excoriated wounds, a 
 good dressing after the cleansing is iodo- 
 form in dry powder. This should be 
 followed by a second dressing of pow- 
 dered aloes, which not only forms an 
 artificial scab but also keeps flies away, 
 an important consideration in the treat- 
 ment of wounds on animals. 
 
 There are several other applications 
 which are efficacious, such as 1 in 800 
 corrosive sublimate solution, saturated 
 solution of boracic acid, or 3% carbolic 
 acid solution.

 DIVISION III.— SHEEP MEDICINES. 
 
 Most of the remedies described under 
 the preceding two sections are equally 
 well adapted for sheep, providing they 
 be full-grown animals. Lambs frequent- 
 ly require somewhat different treatment. 
 Anemia Remedies. 
 
 Anemia may be cured if the animal is 
 promptly treated in the early stages of 
 the disease. Good feeding and care is 
 as essential as medicine. The animal 
 should be kept in a w r arm stall except in 
 pleasant days when it may go out to pas- 
 ture. It should receive the best of food 
 and drink, and also be given one of the 
 following : 
 
 I. 
 
 Juniper berries, crushed av.lb. 2 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.lb. 2 
 
 Ferrous sulfate av.oz. 1 
 
 This is to be mixed with 12 gallons of 
 
 the animal's mashes, and the dose is to 
 
 be repeated once a week for at least 12 
 
 weeks. 
 
 II. 
 
 Juniper berries, crushed. .. .av.lb. 2 
 
 Calamus, powder av.lb. 2 
 
 Sodium chlorid av.lb. 2 
 
 To be mixed with the animal's fodder 
 once a week. 
 Colic Remedies. 
 
 Colic may result from exposure to 
 cold, from constipation, from overfeed- 
 ing, or from worms. It is generally ac- 
 companied by retention of urine and us- 
 ually by constipation. 
 
 If the ailment is due to cold, warming 
 or stimulant remedies should be given, 
 if due to overfeeding or constipation, 
 give a purgative. In either case, keep 
 the animal warm, make stimulant appli- 
 cations, and give an enema.

 Eye Inflammation. 
 
 Inflammation of the eyes in both 
 lambs and sheep may be of catarrhal- 
 rheumatic character or be due to me- 
 chanical injury. The eye should be pro- 
 tected from drafts and should be bathed 
 twice daily with water after which one 
 of the liquids mentioned below should 
 be used. It is also advisable to admin- 
 ister a mild cathartic.

 Foot Rot, Treatment for. 
 
 Foot rot in sheep is very common. In 
 treating it the dead loosened portions of 
 the hoof should be pared away with a 
 sharp knife, and all dirt should be care- 
 fully removed before making any appli- 
 cations. 
 
 A mixture of equal parts of solution 
 of antimony chlorid and tincture of 
 myrrh is recommended as a daily dress- 
 ing; also a solution of 1 av. ounce each 
 of alum and iron sulfate in a pint of 
 water. Dip tow in this liquid, place it in 
 the wound and then cover with dry tow. 
 
 The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry 
 directs that the foot be carefully cleaned 
 and every portion of detached horn be 
 cut away. Should there be fungoid 
 granulations, these should be removed 
 with a knife or a pair of curved scis- 
 sors. All clippings and trimmings that 
 are removed from diseased feet, whether 
 composed of bits of horn, shreds of tis- 
 sue or fungoid growths, should be care- 
 fully gathered up and burned or disin- 
 fected, as they may serve to spread the 
 disease further if left where other sheep 
 may come in contact with them. After 
 

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Foot Rot, Treatment for (Cont'd). 
 
 trimming the feet, stand the sheep for 
 10 minutes in a solution of copper sul- 
 fate made from 3 pounds of this salt to 
 5 gallons of water. The solution when 
 used should be as warm as can be borne 
 by the hand. The bath should be re- 
 peated if necessary. 
 
 It sometimes happens that the disease 
 assumes an aggravated form in several 
 of the sheep, involving the deeper tis- 
 sues and necessitating the application of 
 dressings. In such cases all the loose 
 and diseased tissues should be cut away 
 and the affected parts washed thorough- 
 ly with a 5% solution of carbolic acid, 
 then the below-mentioned antiseptic as- 
 tringent powder should be dusted on 
 and a bandage applied. 
 
 Tannic acid gr. 75

 Insects, To Prevent Attacks of. 
 
 Sheep are annoyed a great deal with 
 insects, especially flies. Mercurial oint- 
 ment is an excellent repellent for in- 
 sects but, on account of its poisonous 
 character is not to be recommended. 
 The following is useful: 
 
 Xaphthalin av.oz. 1

 Scab, Treatment for. 
 
 Scab is one of the most dangerous of 
 the parasitic diseases of sheep. It is due 
 to a minute insect called acarus, about 
 the size of a pin head, which bores into 
 the skin, hatches and multiplies, the 
 young spreading to other portions of 
 the animal's skin, there to continue the 
 same process. 
 
 Treatment consists of either rubbing 
 poisonous ointments into the fleece by 
 hand or by immersing the sheep in 
 aqueous mixtures containing some in- 
 gredient which will kill the parasites. 
 When any of the flock are infected, all 
 should be dipped, preferably being first 
 sheared if the season permits it. 
 
 Instead of treating the scab by one 
 application, some authorities advise the 
 use of a preliminary dip of alkaline wa- 
 ter to soften, the scabs, or of oil or 
 glycerin well rubbed in for the same 
 purpose. This is to be followed in 2 or 
 3 days by a poisonous dip. Nearly all 
 advise that the scabs be rubbed with a 
 stiff brush while the sheep is being 
 dipped. 
 
 The quantity of dip required for each 
 sheep is variously estimated at from 1 
 quart to 1 gallon, For small numbers 
 of sheep, say, 50 to 100, the larger 
 amount is necessary, while for large 
 flocks, 1 quart for shorn or 2 quarts for 
 unshorn sheep may be allowed. The dip 
 should be kept while in use at a temper- 
 ature of from 100 to no F. The sheep 
 should be dipped again within some 6 
 or 10 days of the first dipping in order 
 to kill before their maturity any para- 
 sites which may have developed from 
 eggs which were left upon the animal at 
 the time of the first treatment, as the 
 
 dip does not destroy the vitality of the 
 eggs. 
 
 The chief poisons used in the dip are 
 tobacco, arsenic and carbolic acid. Of 
 these, tobacco is the favorite, because its 
 use has not been followed by the fatal- 
 ity that has in times past followed the 
 use of arsenic. Carbolic acid is too ex- 
 pensive to be used in large quantities, 
 but is an excellent ingredient when only 
 a few sheep are to be treated. The ad- 
 dition of tar to the dips serves a good 
 purpose, as it is not only healing, but 
 serves an excellent purpose in driving 
 away flies. 
 
 The following three formulas are rec- 
 ommended by the U. S. Department of 
 Agriculture. They are stated to be rath- 
 er prophylactic in character and are used 
 generally after shearing. 
 
 Carbolic Acid Dip. 
 
 Soap av.lb. 1 
 
 Crude carbolic acid fl.oz. 16 
 
 Water gal. 50 
 
 Dissolve the soap in a gallon or more

 ing and do not let it get into the mouth, 
 nostrils or eyes of the sheep. Hold 
 each sheep in the bath not less than half 
 a minute.

 Kerosene gal. 2 
 
 Churn together till emulsified, or mix 
 and put into the mixture a force pump 
 and direct the stream from the pump 
 back into the mixture. The emulsion 
 will take place more rapidly if the milk 
 be added while boiling hot. Use 1 gal- 
 lon of this emulsion to each 10 gallons 
 of water required.

 The following arsenical preparations 
 
 are in favor in England: 
 
 Arsenical Sheep-Dip Paste. 
 (Finlay Dunn.) 
 
 Arsenic av.lb. 2 
 
 Pearlash av.lb. 2 
 
 Soft soap av.lb. 2

 Water gal. 4 
 
 Boil the arsenic and potash together 
 in half the water, and dissolve the soap 
 in the other half. This is sufficient for 
 20 sheep. It should be used warm. 
 
 While the last two preparations are 
 efficacious they are not recommended on 
 account of their poisonous nature and 
 unless special precautions can be taken 
 to. avoid contaminating the pastures or 
 otherwise poisoning the animals. 
 Lime and Sulfur Dip. 
 The following three formulas for 
 sheep dips have been approved by the 
 British Board of Agriculture: 
 
 Mix 25 pounds of sulfur with l2 l / 2 
 pounds of good quicklime. Triturate the 
 mixture with water to a smooth cream 
 and transfer this to a boiler of 20 gal- 
 lons capacity. Make up the volume with 
 water to 20 gallons, boil and stir during 
 half an hour, when the liquid should 
 have a dark red color. If yellowish, 
 continue the boiling until the dark red 
 color is obtained, keeping the volume at 
 20 gallons. When the liquid has cooled 
 decant off from any small quantity of 
 insoluble residue and make up the vol- 
 ume to 100 gallons with water. 
 
 Carbolic Acid and Soft Soap Dip. 
 
 Dissolve 5 pounds of good soft soap, 
 with gentle warming, in 3 quarts of 
 good crude carbolic acid. Mix the liquid 
 with sufficient water to make 100 gal- 
 lons. 
 
 Tobacco and Sulfur Dip. 
 
 Steep 35 pounds of finely ground offal 
 tobacco in 21 gallons of water for 4 
 days. Strain off the liquid and remove 
 the last portions of extract by pressing 
 the residual tobacco. Mix the whole ex- 
 tract and to it add 10 pounds of sulfur. 
 Stir the mixture well to secure an even 
 admixture and make up the total bulk to 
 100 gallons with water.

 Scurvy, Remedies for. 
 
 This frequently affects young merino 
 lambs and is due to some deficiency in 
 the mother's milk. The lamb refuses to 
 take nourishment, white canker spots 
 appear both internally and externally 
 and the gums become blue. Treatment 
 consists first in proper feeding of the 
 mother sheep, such as going out to green 
 pasture and giving the lamb the follow- 
 ing mixture : 
 
 Hydrochloric acid fl.dr. 3 
 
 Infusion of angelica (1:- 
 20) to make fl.oz. 8 
 
 Give a tablespoonful twice daily. 
 
 The sick animals must be fed by pour- 
 ing the milk into their mouths. The 
 canker spots should be treated as de- 
 scribed under Thrush, Remedies for, 
 No. III. 
 Tape Worm Remedies. 
 
 See Worm Remedies. 
 Thrush, Remedies for. 
 
 Thrush in lambs is due to some dis- 
 turbance of nutrition. The treatment 
 consists in giving the mother sheep a 
 purgative, and to the lamb a mild alka- 
 line laxative, also washing its mouth 
 with water containing a small amount of 
 vinegar and subsequently applying the 
 lotion mentioned below.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Womb, for Inflammation of. 
 
 Inflammation of the womb of sheep is 
 infectious and affects sheep either be- 
 fore or after giving birth. If the for- 
 mer, the foetus dies and quickly decom- 
 poses. The vaginal orifice then becomes 
 red and inflamed and from it oozes a 
 foul-smelling fluid. To avoid this con- 
 dition it is recommended to apply the 
 salve (No. I) to the mouth of the womb 
 to remove the foetus, and then use anti- 
 septic douches for the vagina. Internal- 
 ly give the preparation mentioned below 
 (No. II).

 Naphthalin gr. 3 
 
 Make into a mass with spirit of soap 
 and divide into 2 pills. 
 
 The dose for a lamb, 4 to 8 months, is 
 1 pill given in the morning without giv- 
 ing food; the other pill should be given 
 8 days thereafter. The dose for lambs 
 only is given, as full-grown animals are 
 rarely affected.

 ment of pigs. 
 Appetite, Loss of, Tor. 
 
 Loss of appetite may be indicative of 
 other diseases, but may also be the re- 
 sult of overfeeding or due to the pres- 
 ence of undigested food. 
 
 Treatment consists in changing the 
 food, giving an emetic, and subsequently 
 the powder mentioned below.

 Catarrh Remedies. 
 
 Catarrh in pigs is usually due to 
 "cold" caused by rapid changes of tem- 
 perature such as occur in the spring or 
 autumn. The animals have diminished 
 appetite but increased thirst, and the 
 eyes and mucous membrane of the 
 mouth are inflamed. From - the nose 
 flows a secretion, watery at first, later 
 becoming mucous, and the animals 
 cough violently. Generally the affection 
 subsides of itself. If there is an accom- 
 paniment of fever, cathartics containing 
 antifebrile agents, or emetics, should be 
 administered.

 avoid the attacks of colic. See Worm 
 Medicine. 
 Diarrhea Remedies. 
 
 Diarrhea may result from exposure to 
 cold or from disorders of digestion. If 
 it continues more than 24 hours, treat- 
 ment is urgently demanded, as it may 
 become severe. The animal should be

 Hog Cholera Remedies. 
 
 Hog cholera, swine fever and swine 
 plague are the names applied to a group 
 of symptoms produced by three distinct 
 types of disease, namely, charbon, con- 
 tagious pneumo-enteritis and epizootic 
 catarrh, all, however, dependent upon 
 recognized specific germs. The second 
 form, pneumo-enteritis, probably is the 
 one most commonly understood, and it 
 is characterized by an inflamed, ulcerat- 
 ed condition of the alimentary tract, and 
 fetid, bloody discharges — these having 
 determined the popular designation of 
 "cholera." 
 
 As soon as an animal develops symp- 
 toms of the plague it must be isolated 
 from the herd and surrounded by abso- 
 lutely antiseptic conditions. Constipa- 
 tion, if present, should be relieved by 
 castor oil or rhubarb. The bowels should 
 be frequently irrigated with warm wa- 
 ter; one of the below-mentioned pre- 
 scriptions should be administered; the 
 food should be restricted to well-cooked 
 oat or barley meal gruel, or, if this is 
 not borne, boiled corn starch. Some ad- 
 vise putting a trace of sulfuric acid into 
 the drinking water. For the fever po- 
 tassium nitrate usually is resorted to. 
 
 In the convalescent stages tonics must 
 be administered. 
 
 When the disease is fully developed 
 there is little hope and the animal should 
 be killed and buried with quicklime. In 
 England swine fever comes under the 
 contagious diseases act, and treatment is 
 not permitted. The public health au- 
 thorities must be advised, who destroy 
 the infected animal. 
 
 Prophylaxis consists in keeping the 
 animal in perfect health by insuring 
 proper hygienic food and surroundings. 
 One of the principal, if not the main, 
 cause of the disease is excessive feeding 
 of corn. Corn-fattened animals are not 
 in a physiological condition, as is well 
 understood, and corn, principally con- 
 sisting of starch, being particularly 
 prone to fermentation, naturally must 
 favor development of fermentative dis- 
 eases in debilitated organisms. Hence 
 corn should largely be replaced by the 
 grains, bran, peas, beans and other ni- 
 trogenous foods, which will produce 
 more muscle and less unhealthv fat. De- 
 caying and fermenting food should not 
 be offered under any condition. Clean, 
 ventilated stalls that will afford protec- 
 tion against inclement weather, but also 
 plenty of exercise in the open air, are 
 prerequisites. 
 
 Prophylactic treatment consists in the 
 daily administration of wood or animal 
 charcoal or iron sulfate. Potassium 
 chlorate is also recommended. In fact, 
 experience teaches that the two latter 
 agents are the only ones which proved 
 effective for this purpose or in treating 
 the initial stages of the disturbance. A 
 few methods of treatment are here 
 given.

 This has been highly recommended 
 
 for this particular disease. It is said 
 
 even to be a preventive of hog cholera. 
 
 V. The following are the U. S. Pat- 
 ent Office specifications for a medicine 
 for the cure of hog and chicken cholera, 
 the patent being granted in 1871 : 
 
 To 5 gallons of water add 5 pounds 
 of blackberry root. Let this boil thor- 
 oughly for 1 hour, after which take out 
 the roots, and while the water is boiling 
 add Yz pound of bruised allspice, 1 
 ounce of tincture of iron, I ounce of 
 asafetida, and y 2 ounce of gum cam- 
 phor. Let it continue to boil about 20 
 minutes, then strain through a fine sieve, 
 and then reduce the liquid by boiling to 
 I gallon, which when cooled, may be 
 bottled for use. 
 
 In administering to hogs, for every 
 dozen hogs, take 5 gallons of scalded 
 
 bran slop and add 4 ounces of the medi- 
 cine. This should be given every morn- 
 ing while threatened with the disease or 
 while actually sick. 
 
 In administering to chickens or other 
 fowl, for every dozen taken 2 quarts of. 
 corn meal, y 2 pint of lard and 3 table- 
 spoonfuls of medicine. 
 Mange Remedies. 
 
 Pigs are occasionally affected by 
 mange, the site of the affection being on 
 the inner surface of the thighs and be- 
 low the eyes. The animal tries to rub 
 itself and then loses its bristles. The 
 following application is advised : 
 
 Sulfurated potash, powder, .av.oz. 1 
 
 Cottonseed oil av.oz. 1 
 
 Soft (or green) soap av.oz. 9 
 
 Mix well. 
 
 Apply this mixture to the affected 
 spots, wash the animal in 2 days with 
 warm water, and again apply this paste. 
 Milk Fever, Treatment for. 
 
 Milk fever is often caused by expo- 
 sure to cold, but may be produced by 
 other as yet unknown causes. The com- 
 plaint is a serious one and must be 
 treated in its early stages, otherwise it 
 proves fatal. 
 
 Treatment consists in vigorous rub- 
 bing of the animal, giving enemas, and 
 internally administering mild laxative 
 and antifebrile remedies. The suckling 
 pigs should be applied to the teats as 
 frequently as possible. 
 I. 
 
 Magnesium sulfate ... .av.oz. 2

 use. If there is no improvement in the 
 condition of the animals, the enemas 
 should be repeated. 
 Rickets, Treatment for. 
 
 Rickets may be due to deficiency of 
 lime salts in the food, but may also be 
 of congenital origin. If the animal is 
 still suckling, calcium phosphate should 
 be administered to the mother sow. If 
 it has been weaned, the calcium phos- 
 phate should be mixed with its food. 
 Under all circumstances, the animals 
 should, whenever the weather permits, 
 be in the open air as much as possible. 
 Swine Fever Remedies. 
 
 This disease, which is exceedingly con- 
 tagious and is prevalent in many locali- 
 ties, is indicated by an increase in the 
 temperature of the hog from 37 C, the 
 normal temperature in health, to 40 C, 
 sometimes rising as high as 41 ° C. The 
 other symptoms are highly colored urine, 
 cold extremities, loss of appetite and 
 constipation. The following treatment 
 is recommended : 
 
 A cathartic and diuretic should first 
 be given, consisting of : 
 
 Potassium nitrate av.oz. yi 
 
 Sulfur av.oz. 1 
 
 Magnesium sulfate av.oz. 5 
 
 Molasses av.oz. 2 
 
 Water, to make fl.cz. 20 
 
 Mix the sulphur with the molasses, 
 then add the water gradually, in which 
 the salts have previously been dissolved. 
 Shake the mixture, and give 1 ounce 
 every morning until relieved. This is 
 the dose for hogs of average size ; for 
 larger animals the dose should be in- 
 creased. 
 
 For diarrhea and weakness usually re- 
 sulting from subsidence of the fever, 
 the following mixture is administered: 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 4 
 
 Gentian av.oz. 4 
 
 Catechu av.oz. 4 
 
 Cinchona av.oz. 4 
 
 Reduce all to powder and mix well. 
 From K to 1 av. ounce of this pow- 
 der should be given in food. Condition 
 powders should be administered.

 DIVISION V— DOG AND CAT MEDICINES. 
 
 The doses and quantities mentioned in 
 the succeeding formulas are intended 
 for dogs of medium weight — about 50 
 pounds. Larger animals will require 
 proportionately larger doses and smaller 
 ones smaller doses. 
 
 Many of the following remedies are 
 
 adapted for ailments of cats, the dose 
 being somewhat less than for dogs. 
 Pills and liquids are the best forms of 
 medicines to administer to dogs, while 
 powders and liquids are more suitable 
 for cats. 
 In giving medicines to dogs, open the

 mouth of the animal and place in it 
 crosswise a small stick of wood, then 
 thrust the pill, capsule or bolus down the 
 throat with the finger; if a liquid, insert 
 the neck of the bottle in the side of the 
 mouth and hold the head back so as to 
 compel the dog to swallow. When ad- 
 ministering to cats, the powder is best 
 blown through a glass or rubber tube 
 onto the roof of the mouth; the liquid 
 medicine is best poured upon the front 
 paws, which the animal will lick off to 
 clean them. 
 Appetite, Loss of. 
 
 Dogs are liable to overeating, and this 
 may result in loss of appetite. Treat- 
 ment consists in giving an emetic and 
 following this with a purgative and 
 stomachic mixture. 
 
 I. Emetic : 
 
 Tartar emetic gr. 5 
 
 White hellebore gr. 2 
 
 Give this powder at one dose by plac- 
 ing it upon the tongue. 
 
 II. Stomachic and purgative : 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate gr. 30 
 
 Rhubarb gr. 30 
 
 Calamus gr. 90 
 
 Sodium sulfate, dried gr. 90 
 
 Mix all in powder, make into a mass 
 
 with syrup and divide into 6 pills. 
 One pill should be given twice daily. 
 
 Brain, Inflammation of. 
 
 Inflammation of the brain in dogs us- 
 ually is caused by difficult teething, par- 
 ticularly the eruption of the back teeth, 
 but may also be produced by external 
 causes such as wearing a collar too tight 
 which interferes with the circulation of 
 the blood to the brain. Well-fed dogs 
 which have little exercise, such as house 
 dogs, are most subject to it. The strick- 
 en animal either lies in a stupor on its 
 bed, has twitching of the limbs, inflamed 
 eyes, feverish nostrils, little or no ap- 
 petite, or it runs about hoarsely yelping, 
 falls down in a fit, is inclined to bite, 
 and has other symptoms of madness. 
 
 A veterinarian should be called in, as 
 the treatment should begin with vene- 
 
 section. Applications of ice should be 
 made to the head, a purgative should be 
 given, also a hypodermic injection of 
 morphine. Inasmuch as there is usually 
 constipation an enema should be given 
 every 2 hours. The disease is usually 
 fatal, although there are some hopes of 
 recovery. 
 
 I. Purgative : 
 
 Calomel gr. 3 
 
 Sugar gr. 15 
 
 Mix well and divide into 2 powders. 
 Give 1 powder at once and the other 
 in 3 hours. 
 
 II. Hypodermic injection : 
 
 Inject daily a solution of 1 grain of 
 morphine sulfate or hydrochlorid until 
 the paroxysms no longer occur. 
 
 III. For enema : 
 
 Green soap gr. 70 
 
 Spirit of camphor fl.dr. 3 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 8 
 
 Inject two fluidounces (cold) into the 
 
 rectum every hour until the bowels are 
 
 evacuated. 
 
 Canker of the Ear, Treatment of. 
 To effect a cure, treatment must be 
 
 begun in the early stages of the disease. 
 
 During treatment, the animal must be 
 
 prevented from scratching the ear. 
 
 Treatment consists in the use of lo- 
 tions, or, in later stages of the affection, 
 
 ointments. 
 
 I. 
 
 Copper sulfate gr. 36

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Catarrh Remedies. 
 
 Catarrh in dogs generally occurs from 
 exposure to cold. A secretion flows 
 from the nose, the breathing is labored, 
 and there is fever. Treatment consists 
 in keeping the animal warm, giving it 
 hot inhalations (holding cloths wrung 
 with hot water before its nose), and 
 giving one of the remedies mentioned 
 below. 
 
 I. 
 
 Potassium nitrate gr. 30

 exercise and may also be caused by eat- 
 ing indigestible foods, bones for exam- 
 ple. 
 
 Treatment consists in giving an enema 
 containing soap, and purgatives inter- 
 nally. 
 
 I. 
 
 Green soap dr. 2^2

 Consumption in Cats. 
 
 Cats are much afflicted with phthisis 
 and the best remedy is cod liver oil in 
 the form of emulsion. It is best given 
 mixed with warmed milk, and should 
 the animal refuse to lap it, administer it 
 with a teaspoon, grasping the cat by the 
 back of the neck, pulling the head up, 
 and inserting the spoon in the mouth. 
 
 Cough Medicines. 
 
 Sometimes coughs occur by themselves, 
 often they are the result of other dis- 
 eases. Expectorants are to be adminis- 
 tered to loosen the cough, also sedatives 
 to quiet the nerves. 
 I.

 mal warm, rubbing the abdomen with 
 alcoholic liniments, and giving opium, 
 astringents and chalk; suppositories of 
 cocoa butter with opium may also be of 
 value. In feeding give meat, cooked 
 rice stirred with yolk of egg, and meat 
 broth.

 Some other astringent extract may re- 
 place the extract of rhatany. 
 Distemper Remedies. 
 
 Distemper is an infectious disease of 
 dogs, usually of young animals, and only 
 too frequently proves fatal. Dogs that 
 are usually about in the open air are 
 not subject to so severe attacks of the 
 disease as are house dogs. The disease 
 attacks the eyes, reddening them, causes 
 inflammation of the nose, depresses the 
 appetite, often there are cramps, and 
 nervous disturbances. It is best to give 
 cathartics, such as act slowly, like calo- 
 mel. If the appetite is diminished, al- 
 low the animal to vomit. If the animal's 
 head feels feverish, apply cold com- 
 presses (ice water). In the absence of 
 ice, use diluted alcohol with some cam- 
 phor. To the back apply mildly stimu- 
 lating liniments. For the nervous dis- 
 turbances, use valerian and ether.

 Simple syrup fl.dr. 4 
 
 Infusion of valerian (1:10). fl.oz. 3 
 Give a tablespoonful 3 times a day. 
 
 Eczema Remedies. 
 
 Eczema is the most common skin dis- 
 ease of dogs. It is usually mistaken for 
 mange, but is an entirely different dis- 
 ease. Eczema in dogs is usually due to 
 lack of exercise in the open air, accom- 
 panied by too generous feeding. It is a 
 most troublesome disease to treat. 
 
 Treatment consists in regulating the 
 diet, allowing outdoor exercise, giving 
 mild cathartics, and applying the reme- 
 dies mentioned below. The disease dees 
 not readily yield to treatment, requiring 
 a long time to effect a cure. 
 
 I. For bathing: 
 
 Sulfurated potassa, pow- 
 dered av.oz. 1 
 
 Pine tar av.oz. 1 
 
 Green soap av.oz. 8 
 
 Mix by the aid of a gentle heat. 
 This is sufficient for three baths. 
 Wash the animal with this mixture 
 every other day, then apply this salve :

 Creosote, beechwood m. 80 
 
 Water fl.dr. 2 l / 2 
 
 Zinc ointment '.av.oz. 3 
 
 III. Another authority on veterinary 
 medicine states that epsom salt in suffi- 
 ciently large doses to produce a laxative 
 effect, giving a dose every other day for 
 2 or 3 weeks, will cure many cases, espe- 
 cially those that are of but a few weeks 
 or months' standing. When the affec- 
 tion is of long standing and more or

 Eczema (Cont'd). 
 
 less extensive, the following external 
 application should also be used : 
 
 Sulfur iodid gr. 60 
 
 Sulfur, sublimed av.oz. 1 
 
 Cod liver oil fl.oz. 1 
 
 Or in place of the oil, V2 ounce each 
 of petrolatum and hydrous wool-fat may 
 be used. Every portion of the body 
 should be anointed whether diseased or 
 not. One application usually cures, but 
 if not another may be made in ten days. 
 No special precautions need be taken to 
 prevent the animals from licking them- 
 selves even though the ointment may 
 make them somewhat sick, as the iodin 
 present is apt to hasten the cure. 
 
 IV. Very bad and chronic cases are 
 said to have been cured by the persistent 
 use of the following ointment: 
 
 Carbolic acid m. 40 
 
 Zinc ointment av.oz. 4 
 
 Epilepsy Bemedies. 
 
 I. 
 
 Zinc oxid gr. 20 
 
 Sulfur gr. 75

 Extract of gentian or dan- 
 delion, enough to form a mass. 
 Divide into 60 pills. 
 Give 1 pill 3 times daily. 
 
 II. 
 
 Fluid extract of valerian fl.dr. 1 
 
 Syrup of buckthorn fl.dr. 3 
 
 For cats, 15 to 20 drops every hour or 
 
 two, with little milk or other food, or 
 
 on some herbage like catnip. 
 
 Eye Inflammation, For

 Flea and Tick Powder. 
 
 Naphthalin av.oz. 4 
 
 Starch av.oz. 12 
 
 Reduce to fine powder and mix well. 
 A few grains of lampblack added will 
 impart a light gray color — and if desired 
 a few drops of oil of pennyroyal may be 
 added to disguise the naphthalin odor. 
 This is an excellent powder for the re- 
 moval of fleas from cats or dogs, by 
 rubbing it into the skin of the animal 
 and letting it remain for a day or two, 
 when it can be removed by combing or 
 giving a bath to which some infusion of 
 quassia has been added. This treatment 
 is equally efficient for lice and ticks, 
 with which dogs as well as cats are af- 
 flicted. 
 Goitre Remedy. 
 
 As in other animals, goitre is an in- 
 flammation of the thyroid glands and is 
 treated with iodids, as in the following :

 Bitter almond water fl.oz. 4' 
 
 Give 10 to 20 drops every 4 to 6 hours. 
 Lice Exterminators. 
 
 Lice occur on very young and on old 
 dogs, especially if they are not properly 
 fed or are not kept clean. The follow- 
 ing remedies are among the best; insect 
 powder may also be used.

 In using, apply this liquid to the en- 
 tire body of the animal, allowing it to 
 dry into the skin. Reapply the liquid in 
 2 days, wait another 2 days, and wash 
 the animal with warm water and finally 
 rub on some green soap. 
 
 II. Benzine emulsion : 
 
 Cocoanut oil gr. 80 
 
 Green soap gr. 200 
 
 Benzine fl.dr. 7 
 
 Water fl.oz. 7 
 
 Warm the oil, soap and water to- 
 gether in a bottle until melted together, 
 then add the benzine and shake thor- 
 oughly. 
 
 Apply this mixture twice daily to the 
 infected spots. Every fourth day the 
 animal is to be washed with soap and 
 water. 
 
 III. Other remedies recommended 
 are a 3% solution of cresol in water 
 (dilute the U. S. P. solution of cresol), 
 5% solution of carbolic acid, 1 part- of 
 oil of anise mixed with 9 parts of sweet 
 oil, and powdered white hellebore, 1 
 part, mixed with 2 parts of powdered 
 anise seed. 
 
 Mange Remedies. 
 
 Mange in dogs is of two varieties, 
 sarcoptic and follicular. The sarcoptic 
 is very infectious ; it is caused by an 
 acarus which burrows in the skin and' 
 multiplies there. The follicular variety 
 is caused by a parasite and is less infec- 
 tious than the sarcoptic variety, but is 
 less amenable to treatment, lasting a 
 number of months. The animal affected 
 with this kind of mange becomes cov- 
 ered with scabs which emit an offensive 
 odor. Both kinds of mange are due 
 mainly to lack of cleanliness. 
 
 Follicular mange usually begins in the 
 vicinity of the eyes and ears and from 
 there extends backward to the remaining 
 
 portions of the body. The hair of the 
 affected parts falls out and there is in- 
 tense itching, so much so that the animal 
 tries to rub himself continually against 
 furniture, walls, etc. Both forms of 
 mange are frequently confounded with 
 eczema. 
 
 Treatment should be commenced as 
 early as possible, before the disease has 
 gained much headway. The affected 
 spots should be washed with a soap con- 
 taining sulfur and tar. Near the eyes it 
 may be advisable to apply a salicylic 
 acid salve to avoid the risk of getting 
 the soapy liquid into them. 
 I. 
 
 Sulfurated potassa, pow- 
 dered dr. 1 
 
 Creosote fl.dr. 1 
 
 Pine tar dr. 2 
 
 Cocoanut oil av.oz. 2 
 
 Mix thoroughly. 
 
 Wash the affected part with green 
 soap and warm water, dry it, and apply 
 this salve. Repeat this treatment every 
 2 days until a cure is effected. 
 II. 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 24 
 
 Lard av.oz. 1 
 
 ' This ointment is recommended for ap- 
 plication to the head because soap can- 
 not very well be used in the vicinity of 
 the eyes. It is to be applied once daily. 
 
 III. The following is highly recom- 
 mended for sarcoptic mange: 
 
 Sulfur dr. 1 
 
 Peru balsam dr. 1 
 
 White precipitate ointment dr. 1 
 
 Lard or petrolatum av.oz. 2 
 
 Use this after washing the dog thor- 
 oughly with an antiseptic soap and dry- 
 ing him. 
 
 If something cheaper is desired, use 
 the ordinary sulfur ointment. This 
 treatment, if well managed, is stated to 
 effect a cure in a week or two. If there 
 is eczema as an accompaniment, use also 
 tar ointment. 
 
 IV. The follicular variety of mange 
 is treated by using the following oint- 
 ment : 
 
652

 mended for mange, as in the following : 
 
 Cresol fl.oz. i l / 2 
 
 Green soap av.oz. 1^2 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 14 
 
 This preparation may be made strong- 
 er, depending on the intensity of the dis- 
 ease and its extension. A daily applica- 
 tion is to be made with this mixture un- 
 til a cure is effected. 
 
 VI. The following was very highly 
 recommended by Prof. Simonds : 
 
 Oil of tar, 
 
 Oil of turpentine, 
 
 Sweet oil, each, equal parts. 
 
 Two thorough inunctions, 3 days 
 apart, are said to destroy sarcoptic 
 mange. The animal should afterwards 
 be washed with a neutral soap and 
 rinsed with a quart or two of warm wa- 
 ter containing 5% of glycerin. 
 
 Pneumonia in Cats. 
 
 Good treatment is to apply turpentine

 by exposure to cold. The animal be- 
 comes stiff in its legs, is unable to go 
 up stairways, and whines with pain. 
 
 Treatment consists in giving sodium 
 
 salicylate and mild cathartics and apply- 
 ing stimulant liniments.

 Rickets, Remedies for. 
 
 Rickets occurs sometimes in very 
 young dogs, and as in other animals is 
 due to deficiency of calcareous matter 
 in the food. Treatment consists in giv- 
 ing calcium salts, e. g., calcium phos- 
 phate to the puppies and to the mother 
 bitch.

 Poultry Powders. 
 
 Various mixtures of powdery sub- 
 stances are dispensed under the names 
 Poultry Powder, Poultry Food, Egg 
 Food, and Egg-Making Food. The lat- 
 ter two names are used because of the 
 alleged property of these mixtures, of 
 increasing the egg-laying power of hens 
 and other fowl. 
 
 Such mixtures as contain strong 
 spices like capsicum are supposed to 
 stimulate the egg-laying power of fowl.

 DIVISION VII.— BIRD MEDICINES 
 
 General Directions for Care of Birds. 
 
 When ailing, the first thing is to 
 keep the bird as quiet as possible; 
 this is best accomplished by covering 
 the cage closely. Most ailments of 
 birds are due to a cold, the cause of 
 which is generally owing to exposure 
 to a draft of air or keeping the bird 
 in an overheated room. 
 
 To cure a cold, add to the regular 
 food equal parts of a paste consisting 
 of hard-boiled eggs, corn meal and 
 grated apple, the whole well spiced with 
 capsicum. 
 
 Sometimes the bird seems hoarse and 
 has apparently lost his voice; this is 
 frequently occasioned by over-singing, 
 and is remedied by dissolving a small 
 amount of rock candy in the drinking 
 water. 
 
 Birds troubled with diarrhea can us- 
 ually be relieved by placing a rusty nail 
 in their drinking water; if this is not 
 effective, recommend Diarrhea Remedy. 
 
 Should the bird be troubled with cos- 
 tiveness, mix an additional quantity of 
 green fruit to the regular food; if this 
 does not relieve, recommend Consti- 
 pation Remedy. 
 
 When moulting, special attention 
 should be paid to the birds, as any 
 disease to which they are predisposed 
 will show itself then. Give warming, 
 nourishing food, keep the bird and cage 
 clean, place in the warm sunlight and 
 keep it out of drafts. Should this not 
 be effective to recuperate them, recom- 
 mend Tonic Elixir. 
 
 The feet are often the seat of dis- 
 ease. To remove accumulations of dirt 
 from the feet, hold them in lukewarm 
 water for three or four minutes each 
 day till the dirt drops off. If the feet 
 are warty and seem to be sore, bathe 
 them as above and grease them with 
 fresh cream, or, still better, with a 
 "cold cream." 
 
 Obstruction of the rump gland is 
 
656 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 caused by the bird not using the gland. 
 
 Open the gland with a fine needle and 
 
 apply "cold cream." 
 
 For lice, supply the cage daily with 
 
 clean, fresh sand mixed with some 
 
 insect powder.

 NOTE 
 
 The Preparations in this part having 
 titles followed by a number are Proprie- 
 tary or controlled by a single manufac- 
 turer, the number indicating the name 
 and address of the manufacturer as 
 given in the reference list at the end of 
 the Part. 
 
 It is believed this information as to 
 the makers of the various proprietaries 
 will prove valuable to all desiring to re- 
 quest further information from the orig- 
 inal sources. 
 
 In this department the attempt is 
 made to include as many as possible 
 of the synthetic; and pseudo-synthetic 
 remedies, most of the so-called pharma- 
 ceutical specialties, and some of the 
 "patent" medicines. The reason for com- 
 bining these dissimilar classes together 
 is that many of the pharmaceutical spe- 
 cialties and some of the "patent" medi- 
 cines bear names similar to the synthetic 
 remedies. The pharmaceutical special- 
 ties and "patent" medicines are them- 
 
 42 
 
 selves frequently indistinguishable, due 
 to similarity of titles. 
 
 In describing synthetic remedies, the 
 plan generally followed is to mention 
 the chemical names or synonymns, physi- 
 cal, chemical and medicinal properties, 
 incompatibilities and doses. In describ- 
 ing pharmaceutical specialties, physical 
 and medicinal properties and doses are 
 mentioned as well as composition. In- 
 formation regarding the composition is 
 taken from manufacturers' catalogs or 
 from the statement on the label (in 
 compliance with the provisions of the 
 federal food and drugs act) or from the 
 booklets published under the auspices of 
 the American Medical Association. In- 
 formation regarding "patent" medicines 
 is also taken whenever possible from 
 the manufacturer's statement on the 
 label and at other times from other 
 sources of information which are sup- 
 posed to be credible. The formulas giv- 
 en in the latter instances are quoted 
 simply for what they are worth, con- 
 sidering the fact that chemistry has not 
 advanced sufficiently to make possible 
 an analysis of a complex organic mix- 
 ture and also considering that manufac- 
 turers are at liberty to change their 
 formulas at any time. 
 
 The source of information is given 
 in most cases and is believed to be re- 
 liable, but, should any formula, by rea- 
 son of any incorrect statement or in- 
 ference, be regarded as unjust to the 
 original preparation or as impairing its 
 reputation, the correction will be cheer- 
 fully made upon receipt of the requi- 
 site information.

 uble in 18 parts of water and in all 
 proportions of alcohol and ether. 
 
 It is used as a hypnotic and sedative, 
 where chloral would be contraindicated. 
 The dose is 2 or 3 fluidrams, usually 
 given in the form of emulsion. 
 
 Acetanilid — (Phenylacetamide.) 
 
 This is in white, shining scales or 
 white powder, odorless, and of a slightly 
 burning taste. 
 
 It is used as an antipyretic, anal- 
 gesic and antirheumatic, also now largely 
 used externally as an antiseptic in place 
 of iodoform. It is used in headache, 
 neuralgia, and in injection mixtures for 
 gonorrhea. 
 
 Dose : 3 to 10 grains, the maximum 
 single dose being about 20 grains, pref- 
 erably used in powders, tablets, cap- 
 sules or cachets. 
 Acetanilid Comp. 
 
 The combination usuauy put up under 
 this name is a mixture of 7 parts of

 made with the same menstruum. 
 Acetocaustin. 
 
 This is a 50% solution of trichlora- 
 cetic acid, which is used as a caustic 
 for warts, corns, etc. 
 Acetopyrin. 
 
 This is a combination of antipyrin 
 and aspirin. It is in the form of a 
 colorless, crystalline powder, insoluble 
 in cold water but readily soluble in 
 warm water and alcohol. It has an odor 
 of acetic acid which would indicate a 
 rather unstable product. It is recom- 
 mended not only as an efficient anti- 
 pyretic but is said to have proved bene- 
 ■fkial in acute rheumatism and neural- 
 gia. 
 
 Acetozone (Benzozone). (159) 
 
 Chemically, this is benzoylacetyl per- 
 oxid, which belongs to a class of com- 
 pounds known as organic peroxids in 
 which an excess of oxygen is combined 
 in such a way that it is slowly given off 
 m a nascent condition. On contact with 
 water it hydrolyzes, forming benzo-per- 
 acid and aceto-peracid which exert mark- 
 ed oxidizing and germicidal properties. 
 These compounds decompose later with 
 the formation of hydrogen peroxid and 
 then of oxygen. It is a grayish white 
 substance appearing in the form of a 
 micaceous powder, which is marketed 
 as a mixture consisting of equal parts 
 of pure acetozone and an inert soluble 
 powder. It is very readily decomposed 
 and must not be kept in a hot location 
 such as near a window where the rays 
 of the sun can strike it, or near a steam 
 pipe or radiator. If it be heated to the 
 boiling point of water, an explosion 
 may result. Contact with moisture 
 should be avoided except when neces- 
 sary in dispensing. In the pure state it 
 dissolves in 1,000 to 10,000 parts of 
 water, 20 of oil, is slightly soluble in 
 alcohol, more so in ether and chloro- 
 form, but slowly decomposing in all 
 these solutions except in petrolatum oil. 
 It is decomposed by contact with alka- 
 
 lies and organic matter of all kinds (e.g. 
 glycerin). 
 
 It is a powerful antiseptic and is used 
 chiefly internally in typhoid fever, and 
 externally to some extent in surgery; it 
 is also used as a vaginal or urethal in- 
 jection in gonorrhea. In typhoid fever 
 it is added to water in the proportion of 
 1 to 1,000 of warm water, shaken vigor- 
 ously for 5 minutes, allowed to stand 
 for 2 hours, and then solution is drank 
 freely, say 2 quarts or more in 24 hours. 
 
 Acetozone Inhalant. 
 
 This contains 1%. of acetozone, J/2% 
 of chloretone and 98^% of colorless 
 liquid petrolatum. 
 
 Acet-Theocin-Sodium. 
 
 See Theocin-Sodium Acetate. 
 Acidol (Betaine Hydrochloride 
 
 This is in white crystals of a sour 
 taste, readily soluble in water. It con- 
 tains 24% of hydrochloric acid and is 
 used as a substitute for the latter usu- 
 ally in combination with pepsin in gas- 
 tric affections. The dose is 2 to 10 
 grains. 
 
 Acodine. 
 
 This is a dental preparation said to 
 consist of aconite, iodin, tannic acid and 
 glycerin. 
 
 Acoin. 
 
 This is one of the newer local an- 
 esthetics. It is a white, ordorless, very 
 bitter powder, soluble in 17 parts of 
 water, freely soluble in alcohol. It is 
 very readily affected by alkalies and is 
 also sensitive to light. It has been 
 recommended for Schleich's infiltration 
 anesthesia method in 1/10% solutions 
 containing 8/10 % of sodium chlorid.

 or albuminous fluids; an external and 
 internal antiseptic in chronic and acute 
 infectious diseases, sore throat, etc. It 
 is used as a gargle and wash. Mix a 
 teaspoonful of 2% solution with a glass 
 of water, or use a solution of 1 1500 to 
 1 :20O for disinfecting wounds, abscess 
 cavities, etc. The dose by injection Y\ 
 to 3 grains, singly or divided. The solu- 
 tions should be prepared fresh with 
 boiled, distilled water and should be 
 kept in the dark. 
 Addison's Granules of Arsenate of 
 
 Gold. 
 
 These are stated to contain about 
 1/120 grain of gold arsenate. This salt 
 is not introduced directly but is obtained 
 in the finished pill by using gold and 
 sodium chlorid and sodium arsenate in 
 the proposition of 2.7 grains of the for- 
 mer and 8 of the latter to make 15 
 grains of gold arsenate. — H.

 of a U, S, patent. According to Chit- 
 
 tenden's analysis it contains 51.38% of 
 codliver oil, 11.02%. of proteid matter, 
 5.11% of mineral acids, and 0.57% of 
 phosphoric acid. It is a paste of pleas- 
 ant fishy odor. The dose is a teaspoon- 
 ful 3 or 4 times a day. It may be eaten 
 by spreading it on bread like butter. 
 Adnephrin Emollient. (187) 
 
 This is described as an ointment com- 
 posed of the adrenal (suprarenal) active 
 principle and a neutral base, represent- 
 ing in each 1,000 parts, 1 part of the 
 active principle. 
 Adnephrin Oil Spray. 
 
 This is a 1 in 1,000 solution, aroma- 
 tized, of the active principle of the su- 
 prarenal glands in a neutral oil. It is 
 used as a nasal and throat spray, pref- 
 erably after cleansing with Dobell's solu- 
 tion. 
 Adnephrin Solution. 
 
 This is described as a liquid, each 
 1,000 parts of which contains 1 part of 
 adnephrin, the active principle of the 
 suprarenal glands, dissolved in a sterile, 
 physiologic salt solution containing l / 2 % 
 of methaform as a preservative. It is 
 practically neutral in reaction, non-irri- 
 tating, and stable in character. It is said 
 not to turn pink. It is of value in minor 
 surgical operations by checking the 
 hemorrhage and affording a clear view 
 of the field of operation. 
 
 Adonidin. 
 
 A glucoside obtained from Adonis 
 vernalis. It is a hygroscopic, yellowish- 
 white, odorless, bitter powder. It is eas- 
 ily soluble in water and alcohol; insol- 
 uble in ether and chloroform. It is a 
 heart-tonic and diuretic, particularly in 
 aortic and mitral insufficiencies. 
 
 Dose : 1/12 to % grain several times 
 daily, in pill, or in solution in chloro- 
 form water with ammonium carbonate. 
 The maximum dose is l / 2 grain.

 This is a powder used to prevent per- 
 spiration of the hands, feet, etc. It is 
 stated to contain formaldehyde. 
 
.;»;! 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Adrenalin. (159) 
 
 This occurs as tiny, white crystals 
 which are soluble in water slightly acid- 
 ulated with hydrochloric acid and yields 
 solutions that assume a pink color on 
 standing. Solutions should therefore not 
 be kept for any great length of time; 
 preferably they should be made fresh 
 as needed. 
 
 So powerful is this substance that 
 a drop of a solution of I part in 10,000 
 when instilled into the eye will blanch 
 the conjunctiva in from 30 seconds to 1 
 minute. Bloodless operations have been 
 performed after the application of the 
 weak solution. Internally adrenalin may 
 be used as a cardiac stimulant. 
 
 Adrenalin is also marketed in the 
 form of adrenalin inhalant, adrenalin 
 ointment, adrenalin suppositories and 
 adrenalin tablets. 
 
 Adrenalin Chlorid Solution. 
 
 This is a solution containing 1 part 
 of adrenalin chlorid in 1,000 parts. Each 
 fluidounce is stated to contain % grain 
 of adrenalin chlorid, 2 l /\ grains of 
 chloretone (equal to l A%) and physi- 
 ological salt solution, q. s. It is used 
 generally in the form of a spray, the 
 solution varying in strength from 1 to 
 1,000 to 1 to 15,000, or internally in 
 doses of 5 to 30 minims. It causes con- 
 traction of the arterioles, rendering the 
 parts it affects bloodless. Mucous mem- 
 branes are blanched by its application ; 
 this is particularly noticeable when it 
 is instilled into the eye. 
 
 Adrin (Epinephrin Hydrate). (141) 
 
 This is the active principle of the su- 
 prarenal glands which is said to be pre- 
 pared according to the method of Prof. 
 J. J. Abel, M. D. 
 
 Adrin solution is said to be more 
 stable and retain its physiologic proper- 
 ties longer than any other preparation 
 of the suprarenal glands because it is 
 free from hydrochloric acid, the solvent 
 generally used. 
 
 The following are prepared : 
 
 Adrin, in powder; it is almost white, 
 stable, and non-hydroscopic. 
 
 Adrin Tablets, each containing 1/65 
 grain. For the extemporaneous prepara- 
 tion of the solution. 1 tablet dissolved 
 in 15 minims of sterile water makes 
 a 1 to 1,000 solution of adrin in normal 
 saline solution. 
 
 Adrin Solution, 1 in 1,000. 
 
 Adrin Inhalant, containing 1/10% of 
 adrin. 
 
 Adrin Ointment, containing 1/10% of 
 adrin. 
 
 Also suppositories of various kinds 1 
 and other kinds of tablets. 
 Aesculus Cones. (83) 
 
 Each suppository is stated to contain 
 belladonna, gr. % ; hamamelis, gr. x / 2 ; 
 calomel, gr. I ; "bismuth," gr. 2 ; ich- 
 thyol, gr. 2; combined with the active 
 principle of Aesculus hippocastanum. 
 Used for piles and kindred rectal dis- 
 eases. 
 
 Agaricin. (Agaric, Agaricinic, Aga- 
 ricic or Laricic Acid.) 
 
 A resinous acid derived from white 
 agaric. It is a white, almost odorless, 
 tasteless powder, melting at 140° C, 
 slightly soluble in water, in 130 parts 
 cold and 10 parts boiling alcohol ; slight- 
 ly soluble in ether, insoluble in chloro- 
 form. 
 
 It is used in treatment of night sweats 
 in consumption. Dose: % grain to 1 
 grain at night in pills. 
 
 Agathin. (Salicylaldehydemethyl- 
 
 phenylhydrazine.) 
 
 It occurs in white or greenish, odor- 
 less, tasteless flakes, melting at 74 C, 
 insoluble in water, but soluble in alco- 
 hol and ether. It is antineuralgic in 
 rheumatic neuralgias, sciatica, etc. 
 
 Dose : 2 to 8 grains two or three times 
 daily. 
 
 It should be kept in the dark. 
 
 Agurin. (Theobromine-Sodmm-Ace- 
 tate.) 
 
 This is a double salt of sodium ace- 
 tate and theobromine-sodium, and is 
 therefore similar to diuretin. It is a 
 

 PROPRIETARY AND SYNTHETIC REMEDIES. 
 
 665 
 
 white, finely crystalline powder, con- 
 taining 60% of theobromine, is hygro- 
 scopic, and freely soluble in water, not 
 readily in cold, but more freely in hot, 
 alcohol. Aqueous solutions gradually 
 split it up into its components. It is 
 precipitated and decomposed by carbon 
 dioxid and by acids; it is also incom- 
 patible with mucilaginous and saccharine 
 liquids. 
 
 It is used as a diuretic in dropsy of 
 cardiac origin; it is said to be without 
 action on the heart. 
 
 The dose is 5 to 15 grains, preferably 
 in wafers or capsules. If dispensed in 
 solution, this should be freshly prepared, 
 without sugar or mucilage. 
 
 Aiken's Tonic Pills. 
 
 Each is made to contain : 
 
 Quinine sulfate gr. 1 
 
 Reduced iron gr. % 
 
 Arsenous acid gr. 1/50 
 
 Strychnine gr. 1/50 
 
 Airol, Airform, Airogen. (Bismuth 
 Oxyiodogallate), (Bismuth Iodo- 
 subgallate.) 
 
 This is called an odorless substitute 
 for iodoform. # 
 
 It forms a grayish-green, voluminous, 
 odorless, tasteless powder. It is soluble 
 in alkalies and diluted mineral acids ; in- 
 soluble in water, alcohol, ether and 
 chloroform. Water or moist air (but 
 not light) decomposes it. It is a surgical 
 antiseptic, like iodoform, and anti-gon- 
 orrheal. It contains 20% of iodin. 
 
 In contact with wounds, iodin is 
 slowly liberated while the bismuth sub- 
 gallate exerts an astringent and siccative 
 action.

 Chemically this is succinic dioxid or 
 peroxid. It occurs as a white, fluffy 
 powder. It melts at 115 C. and does 
 not decompose until about a temperature 
 of 128 C. is reached. It is therefore 
 not affected by any temperature below 
 that of boiling water, but it should not 
 be subjected to direct heat, such as ex- 
 posure to the rays of the sun or heated 
 steam radiators. When brought into a 
 flame it explodes, but it does not ex- 
 plode on percussion or friction. It dis- 
 solves readily in 60 parts of water and 
 on agitation for a short time will dis- 
 solve in 30 parts. When dissolved in 
 water, it slowly undergoes change, suc- 
 cinic peracid being formed, which is also 
 a powerful germicide. • 
 
 It is a powerful, non-toxic germicide 
 and antiseptic. It is useful internally in 
 typhoid fever, 4 grains being dissolved 
 in a tumblerful of water, the patient be- 
 ing advised to drink freely of this solu- 
 tion. It may also be used in tonsilitis, 
 leucorrhea and gonorrhea, as a dusting 
 powder in skin diseases of an infectious 
 nature, or as a spray for the nose. The 
 usual proportion in solution as a douche 
 or spray is one part of alphozone to 
 1,000, 1,500 or 2,000 parts of water.

 Anesthesin. 
 
 Chemically this is the ethyl ester of 
 paramidobenzoic acid and is closely re- 
 lated to orthoform. It is a white, cry- 
 stalline powder, odorless and tasteless, 
 but producing a sensation of numbness 
 when placed on the tongue. It is almost 
 insoluble in cold, difficultly soluble in 
 hot water, soluble in 6 parts of alcohol, 
 and to the extent of 2 or 3% in fatty 
 oils. In oil solutions it may be sterilized 
 without decomposition, but by prolonged 
 heating with water or by warming with 
 alkalies it is decomposed. 
 
 It was introduced as a substitute for 
 cocaine and is a local anesthetic similar 
 to orthoform. The anesthetic action is 
 purely local, does not penetrate the mu- 
 
 cous membrane, and on account of its 
 insolubility it cannot be used hypodermi- 
 cally. 
 
 It is used in gastralgia, in ulcer and 
 cancer of the stomach, and is recom- 
 mended for anesthetizing wounds, burns, 
 etc.

 ber of sharp-pointed needles set in a 
 bed of hard rubber. By means of a 
 spiral-spring arrangement these needles 
 are driven into the skin over the seat 
 of pain, not deep enough to draw blood, 
 while into the wounds produced is 
 rubbed the "Baunscheidt oil." This is 
 an irritating substance and produces 
 papular eruptions similar to those pro- 
 duced by croton oil. The effect is that 
 of a powerful counter-irritant. In medi- 
 cine this treatment is known as acu- 
 puncture. Formulas for the oil are

 Bismuth Salicylate. 
 
 There are two salicylates of bismuth, 
 one being basic, the other acid. The 
 former should always be used when 
 "bismuth salicylate" is specified. It con- 
 tains 65% bismuth oxid and 35% salicy- 
 lic acid. It is a whitish, odorless, taste- 
 less, permanent, microcrystalline pow- 
 der which is soluble in acids and alkalies 
 with decomposition ; insoluble in water, 
 alcohol and ether. 
 
 It is recommended in gastric and in- 
 testinal affections in doses of 5 to 15 
 grains, administered several times daily ; 
 in typhoid fever, in 10 to 20 grain doses, 
 repeated every hour for about 10 hours. 
 The good results are attributable to the 
 fact that the combination is readily 
 borne by the stomach. 
 
 Bismuth Subgallate. 
 
 See Dermatol. 
 Bismuth Subiodid or Oxyiodid. 
 
 This is a brownish-red, amorphous, 
 inodorous, insoluble powder. It is used

 This is a combination of bismuth with 
 albumen containing 22% of metallic bis- 
 muth. It is prepared by treating a solu- 
 tion of the albumen of eggs with a pure 
 solution of bismuth nitrate in a solution 
 of sodium chlorid. The coagulated com- 
 pound is washed, dried and powdered. 
 It is a greenish-yellow, odorless, taste- 
 less powder, insoluble in water and alco- 
 hol, but soluble in solutions of the alka- 
 lies. It is of value as an intestinal as- 
 tringent in the diarrheas of children.

 pared by heating 100 parts of tartrate 
 of iron and potassium with 20 parts of 
 distilled water and 1 part of powdered 
 gum arabic on a water bath until the 
 mass may be formed into balls on cool- 
 ing. This is then made into balls weigh- 
 ing 35 to 36 g. which are to be dried in 
 a moderately warm place when they 
 should weigh about 30 g. They may 
 then be coated with mucilage of acacia 
 to which a small amount of tincture of

 Bracelin Remedy for Diphtheria. 
 
 The remedy consists essentially of 
 chlorin deprived of its suffocating, irri- 
 tating qualities by an emollient correc- 
 tive. The value of the "corrective" 
 is not so much due to the agents used 
 as to the process of manufacture in 
 making the combination. Properly 
 
 made, the results will be satisfactory, 
 if improperly combined the results will 
 be disappointing. This is the result 
 of my repeated trials and clinical experi- 
 ments carried on during a period of 
 over two years. Two liquids are used, 
 which are for convenience named 
 "Bracelin Chlorin Bactericide," "No. 
 One" and "No. Two." "B. C. B. No. 1" 
 is set free by the corrected chlorin in 
 "B. C. B. No. 2." "B. C. B. No. 2" is 
 added to "B. C. B. No. 1" in the pro- 
 portion of 1 to 5 parts slightly warmed 
 and the vapor inhaled as directed. Some 
 diseases, such as diphtheria and pneu- 
 monia, require its use once each hour, 
 others but 4 or 5 times a day. I am 
 now prepared to give my formula to 
 the profession for trial in the treatment 
 of diphtheria and throat and lung dis- 
 eases, viz. :

 insoluble in water. It has no free bromin 
 and only traces of hydrobromic acid. 
 
 It is marketed in the powder form, 
 also as a wine, each tablespoonful of 
 which contains I grain of bromin in 
 combination. 
 Bromelin. 
 
 This is the digestive principle of 
 fresh pineapple juice. It is said to 
 act like pepsin, and papain digesting pro- 
 teids. Heat destroys it. It may be iso- 
 lated by adding an excess of common 
 salt to pineapple juice. Do not con- 
 found this with bormalin. 
 
 Brometone. (Acetone-Bromoform.) 
 (159) 
 
 This is in fine, white, prismatic cry- 
 stals, of camphoraceous odor and taste. 
 It is slightly soluble in water, soluble 
 in alcohol and ether. It contains JJ% 
 of bromin. 
 
 It is claimed to have the anodyne and 
 sedative action of the bromids without 
 the disadvantage of producing bromism. 
 The dose is 5 grains, dry or in capsules, 
 2 or 3 times a day. 
 Bromidine. (215) 
 
 A hypnotic, each fluidram of which 
 is stated to contain 7% grains each of

 Brominol. (128) 
 
 This is a combination of iodin and 
 oil of sesame, similar to bromipin. It is 
 recommended for epilepsy. 
 Bromipin. (130) 
 
 This is a bromin addition product of 
 sesame (benne), oil containing 10% of 
 bromin in organic combination. It is 
 prepared by action of bromin chlorid 
 on sesame oil, in sufficient quantities, 
 theoretically calculated to produce the 
 required brominization. 
 
 It is a yellow, oily liquid, of a purely 
 
 44 
 
 oleaginous taste, and having a sp. gr. of 
 about 0.995. 
 
 It acts like the bromids, but as it 
 yields bromin more slowly it is thought 
 to have less tendency to produce brom- 
 ism. The combination is not broken up 
 in the stomach but a portion of the 
 bromin is split off when it enters the in- 
 testine. The oil with the remaining 
 bromin is easily absorbed, and similarly 
 to other fats it is largely deposited in 
 the tissues where it is slowly split up. 
 It is given in doses of 1 teaspoonful, 
 increased in cases of epilepsy to 2 to 8 
 teaspoonfuls. It may be given pure, 
 flavored with oil of peppermint or in 
 emulsion with syrup and peppermint. 
 It is also sold as a (diluted) zzVz% 
 brominized oil, in capsules each con- 
 taining 2 grams, and in tablets each con- 
 taining 20 grains of the 33Vs% of oil.

 Bromocoll. 
 
 This is a combination of bromin, tan- 
 nin and gelatin containing 20% of 
 bromin. It is a yellowish, odorless, 
 tasteless powder, insoluble in water and 
 alcohol, soluble in alkaline liquids. It 
 is used as a substitute for the bromids 
 in epilepsy and other nervous disorders.

 Bromoform. 
 
 This is a volatile liquid which decom- 
 poses readily on exposure to light and 
 air and must consequently be kept in 
 dark or amber bottles, and be well stop- 
 pered; is almost insoluble in water, and 
 has a pleasant taste. It is very heavy, 
 having the sp. gr. 2.83. 
 
 It is used only in whooping cough. 
 The dose depends on the severity of the 
 case. For children of 1 year of age 
 and under, 2 to 3 drops 3 times a day; 
 children from 2 to 4 years of age, 3 to 
 4 drops 3 to 4 times daily; choldren up 
 to 8 years of age, 4 to 6 drops 3 or 4 
 times a day. The doses should be cau- 
 tiously increased by 1 drop the third 
 day, in severe cases the second day. 
 Scoville recommends the following 
 mixture of bromoform which contains 
 but little (or no) alcohol, is very palat- 
 able, admits of accurate dosage, and is 
 susceptible to change in dosage without 
 altering the proportion of the other in- 
 gredients : 
 
 Bromoform fl.dr. 1 
 
 Tincture of tolu fl.dr. 2 
 
 Mucilage of acacia fl.dr. 4 
 
 Simple syrup fl.oz. 1 
 
 Spearmint water, to make. . .fl.oz. 4 
 
 Place the mucilage in the bottle, add 
 
 an equal volume of syrup, then the 
 
 bromoform and tincture in portions, 
 
 shaking well after each addition. A thin 
 
 emulsion results, to which the rest of 
 the water and syrup are to be added with 
 agitation. 
 
 This emulsion slowly deposits but 
 without separation of bromoform or 
 tolu, and can be quickly made homogen- 
 eous again by slight agitation. 
 
 This mixture contains 2 minims of 
 bromoform in 1 fluidram, and the 
 amount may be increased or diminished 
 if desired. Alcohol may be omitted al- 
 together from the mixture by using 
 syrup of tolu instead of the simple 
 syrup and tincture of tolu.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Calcalith. (Calcium Carbonate Com- 
 pound with Colchicine.) (1) 
 This is the formula given : Repurified 
 calcium carbonate, 10 grains; lithium 
 carbonate, I grain; colchicine, 1/500 
 grain; in aromatic combination. This 
 is used as a remedy in various forms 
 of uric acid diathesis. 
 
 Calcidin. (1) 
 
 This is described as "calx iodata" or 
 "iodized calcium" and is stated to con- 
 tain 15% of iodin. 
 Calcium Eosolate. 
 
 Chemically this is calcium trisulfoace- 
 tylcreosote. It is a gray powder of 
 slightly pungent odor and acrid taste. 
 It is soluble in about 10 parts of water, 
 very slightly soluble in alcohol, and is 
 readily dissolved with the aid of hydro- 
 cloric or citric acid. It contains about 
 25% of creosote. It is used in diabetes 
 and some cases of phthisis. The dose 
 is 5 to 20 grains 3 times a day. 
 Calcium Glycerophosphate. 
 
 This is a white crystalline powder, sol- 
 ble in 40 parts cold water but almost 
 insoluble in boiling water or alcohol. 
 According to the investigations of Dr. 
 de Pasqualis, lecithin, the chief phos- 
 phorus constituent of blood, is decom- 
 posed during digestion into chlorin and 
 glycero-phosphoric acid; the latter thus 
 represents the form in which phosphorus 
 is assimilated and is indicated when 
 it is desired to augment the amount of 
 phosphorus in the system. 
 
 The glycero-phosphates are therefore 
 rational substitutes for phosphorus and 
 may be given whenever the latter is in- 
 dicated. They give striking results in 
 exhaustion of the nervous system, 
 whether due to metabolic loss or to in- 
 sufficient assimilation. In various forms 
 of phosphaturia and in many cases of 
 neurasthenia, and in muscular atrophy, 
 the treatment has been found beneficial, 
 also in the pains of locomotor ataxia, in 
 sciatica, lumbago, Addison's disease, 
 rickets, osteomalacia, etc. The dose is 
 2 to 5 grains 3 times daily. 
 
 Calcium Ichthyol. 
 
 This is a calcium salt of sulfichthyolic 
 acid, and is therefore the calcium

 Calomelol. (Soluble or Colloidal Cal- 
 omel.) 
 According to the patent process, this 
 is made by acting on a solution of so- 
 dium chlorid in the presence of a pro- 
 teid with mercurous nitrate and precipi- 
 tating the water-soluble colloidal salo- 
 mel by means of alcohol. The precipi- 
 tate is washed with alcohol, redissolved 
 in water with the aid of a small amount 
 of alkali, and from this solution the 
 colloidal calomel is obtained either by 
 evaporation of by precipitation with 
 alcohol. 
 
 It is a grayish-white, odorless and 
 tasteless powder; it is soluble in water, 
 forming an opalescent solution, and is 
 insoluble in alcohol. It is precipitated 
 from its aqueous solutions by acids, the 
 precipitate being redissolved by alka- 
 lies. It should be protected from light

 It contains 80% of calomel and 20% al- 
 buminoids. 
 
 Its action on the system is the same 
 as that of calomel, but it is claimed ta 
 be superior because of its solubility in 
 water, acting more rapidly and effi- 
 ciently. The dose is the same as that 
 of calomel. Externally it is used as a 
 dusting powder, mixed with an equal 
 quantity of starch, or starch and zinc 
 oxid, or in the form of ointment.

 Chloralimid (not Chloral-amid). 
 
 This is in colorless, inodorous insipid 
 crystals which are readily soluble in al- 
 cohol, ether, chloroform and oils, but is 
 insoluble in water. Used as a hypnotic 
 in doses of 15 grains. 
 Chloralose. 
 
 This is a compound of grape sugar 
 and chloral It is in fine, colorless nee- 
 dles, rather readily soluble in hot water 
 and in alcohol, but is sparingly in cold 
 water. It is used as a hypnotic.

 Chloralum. 
 
 Prof. Fleck made an examination, on 
 behalf of the Saxon Government, of 
 chloralum solution, chloralum powder 
 and chloralum wool and wadding. 
 The liquid contained 
 
 Aluminum chlorid 13-90% 
 
 Calcium chlorid and sulfate. 3.11% 
 
 Iron chlorid 0.42% 
 
 Lead chlorid 0.15% 
 
 Copper chlorid 0.10% 
 
 Water, to mak 100.00% 
 
 The powder, in addition to the above 
 salt, contained 0.72% of chlorid of ar- 
 senic and 32.15% of clay and sand. 
 Fleck suggested that the solution was 
 made as follows: 
 
 "A calcareous clay, containing but lit- 
 tle iron, is dissolved as far as possible, 
 in fuming hydrochloric acid. The clear 
 concentrated liquid above the undis- 
 solved clay is drawn off in bottles and 
 sold as chloralum." The name refers 
 to its containing chlorid of aluminum. 
 The residue with the liquid adhering, 
 is evaporated in leaden pans, dried and 
 sold as "chloralum powder." Cotton 
 or wadding, soaked in the chloralum 
 itself, wrung out and dried, furnishes 
 the "chloralum wool and wadding." The 
 arsenic, lead and copper found in it are 
 impurities contained in the hydrochloric 
 acid used as a solvent or they come 
 from the vessels in which they are made.

 Collargoi. (Soluble or Colloidal Sil- 
 ver — Argentum-Crede.) 
 
 This is a water-soluble, allotropic 
 form of metallic silver, said to contain 
 
710 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 $5 to 87% of metallic silver and a small 
 percentage of albumin with products of 
 its oxidation. It occurs in small, hard, 
 brittle, bluish-black, scale-like pieces, sol- 
 uble in 20 parts of distilled water, pro- 
 ducing a dark, olive-brown solution 
 which remains stable for months. Xo 
 separate silver particles can be distin- 
 guished in the solution even when mag- 
 nified to the highest degree under the 
 microscope, and it has all the character- 
 istics of a solution. The addition of al- 
 bumin to collargol prevents or delays its 
 precipitation by acids and salts. A suf- 
 ficient amount of albumin to prevent its 
 precipitation under ordinary conditions 
 is therefore added to collargol during its 
 manufacture. Hence, collargol, even 
 when dissolved in well or spring water 
 containing salts, undergoes no change, 
 and it remains unaffected by boiling, 
 whereas colloidal silver containing no 
 albumin precipitates on being boiled. A 
 solution of collargol does not respond 
 directly to the tests for silver ; it should 
 not be exposed to light or air; it is in- 
 compatible with the usual silver reagents. 
 
 Collargol is a general antiseptic and 
 germicide which can be used externally 
 or internally; it can be introduced into 
 the system without causing either local 
 reaction or general poisonous effects. In 
 most cases it is best employed locally in 
 the form of a 15% ointment, 30 to 60 
 grains being thoroughly rubbed into the 
 skin. It is also used in 2 to 5% aqueous 
 solutions for intravenous injections (in 
 septicemia and pyemia), /> to 1% glyce- 
 rin solutions for parenchymatous injec- 
 tions; also in 1/50 to 1% solutions for 
 washes, in 5% dusting powder, in bougies 
 containing 3 grains, and in vaginal sup- 
 positories containing 24 grain. Internal- 
 ly a solution of 1:500 to 1:100 is given 
 freely in teaspoonful doses; it is also 
 given in pills or tablets containing J/3 to 
 1 grain. 
 
 To prepare a solution of collargol, put 
 the latter into a perfectly clean, amber- 
 
 colored bottle, add the required amount 
 of distilled water, and allow to stand 
 until the collargol has softened, then 
 shake vigorously until complete solution 
 is effected. The solution should have a 
 clear, brown color; if gray and turbid it 
 is decomposed. 
 
 Collargol Ointment. (Unguentum 
 Crede.) 
 
 This contains 15% of collargol. It is 
 prepared by incorporating 15 parts of 
 collargol with 5 parts of water, 10 parts 
 of white wax and 70 parts of benzoin- 
 ated lard, observing care that the soluble 
 silver shall not be transformed into or- 
 dinary metallic silver, which it is prone 
 to do unless great care be exercised. 
 
 The natural color of this ointment is 
 dark bluish-gray. The addition of water 
 may change the color to a brownish 
 shade, which does not, however, impair 
 its efficiency: The ointment is good as 
 long as it colors the skin black. 
 
 This ointment is used for inunction, 
 from 30 to 60 grains being rubbed into 
 the skin for 15 to 30 minutes. For chil- 
 dren about one-half as much should be 
 used.

 mended by Dr. Kaposi for many skin 
 affections. It forms colorless or yellow- 
 ish needles, sparingly soluble in water, 
 readily in alcohol, ether, acetone and 
 soaps. It has the character of a strong 
 acid, forming well crystallized salts, 
 which, however, are sparingly soluble in 
 water, particularly the sodium salt. On 
 exposure to air, it acquires a reddish 
 color, due to oxidation. Being a strong 
 acid it is incompatible with alkaline hy- 
 droxids or carbonates, especially those 
 of sodium with which it forms an al- 
 most insoluble salt.

 trated and aseptic extract of ergot, cor- 
 responding in strength to the U. S. F. 
 fluid extract. It is said not to contain 
 ergotinic or sclerotic acid or other irri- 
 tating substances. 
 Ergot Aseptic. 
 
 This is a preparation of ergot of dou- 
 ble the strength of the U. S. P. fluid ex- 
 tract of ergot. Ergotinic acid is stated 
 to be eliminated and the finished prod- 
 uct is sterilized. No preservative is add- 
 ed. It is put up in glass bulbs of 1 cc. 
 each and is intended for hypodermic 
 administration. 
 
 Ergotin. 
 
 This is a name now commonly applied 
 to soft solid extract of ergot, such as 
 the U. S. P. extract of ergot. 
 
 Ergotin-Styptic. 
 
 This is stated to be fluid extract of 
 ergot combined with 5% of stypticin. It 
 is administered in from 10 to 15 drop 
 doses in cerebral disturbances and in the 
 neuroses accompanying menstrual dis- 
 orders. 
 
 Ergotole. (182a.)

 minims of apiol (green), 3 grains of 
 gossypin (resinoid) and 1 grain of er- 
 gotin (Bonjean's process). 
 Erythrol. 
 
 This is a double salt of bismuth iodid 
 and cinchonidine hydroiodid. It is a 
 brown-red powder, insoluble in water or 
 alcohol. It is recommended for some 
 forms of dyspepsia as a digestive and 
 anodyne in doses of % to 1 grain 3

 Erythrol Tetranitrate. 
 Nitrate — Tetranitrol 
 rin.) (130) 
 
 This is obtained by the nitration of 
 the tetratomic alcohol erythrite. It 
 forms colorless crystalline scales, insol- 
 uble in cold water, readily soluble in al- 
 cohol. On percussion it explodes much 
 like nitroglycerin. 
 
 It is a vasodilator and antispasmodic 
 like nitroglycerin. Its action is slower 
 and more lasting; it begins in 15 min- 
 utes and persists for 3 or 4 hours. It is 
 recommended in angina pectoris and 
 vascular diseases. Because of its ex- 
 plosiveness it is marketed in the form 
 of an alcoholic solution and as tablets, 
 the later containing l / 2 grain each. One 
 or two tablest are given every 4 to 6 
 hours.

 Ethyl Bromid. (Brom-Ethyl — Hy- 
 drobromic Ether.) 
 
 This must not be confounded with 
 ethylene bromid. It is a clear, colorless, 
 volatile, inflammable liquid, of an odor 
 and taste like chloroform, sp. gr. 1.45 
 and boiling at about 102 F. It is spar- 
 ingly soluble in water, freely so in alco- 
 hol, ether and oils. It should be kept 
 from light and air as it becomes brown 
 from liberation of bromin and should 
 then not be used. It is employed as an 
 anesthetic in minor surgery, anesthesia 
 occurring within 1 minute and lasting 
 only a few minutes unless*- repeated; 1 
 to 6 fluidrams is used by inhalation. In- 
 ternally it is used as a nerve sedative in 
 epilepsy, hysteria, etc., the dose being 5 
 to 10 drops. 
 Ethyl Carbamate. 
 
 See Urethane. 
 Ethyl Chlorid. (Monochlorethane.) 
 
 This is ordinarily a gas, but appears 
 on the market as a compressed liquid 
 contained in closed tubes. In these tubes 
 it is a colorless liquid, boiling at 54' C, 
 and very inflammable. It is used for 
 local anesthesia in minor and dental sur- 
 gery, the liquid being allowed to spray 
 upon the parts when it soon produces 
 intense local refrigeration. The tube 
 from which the spray issues should be 
 held at a distance of from 6 to 10 inches 
 from the part to be anesthetized. 
 Ethyl Iodid. (Hydriodic Ether.) 
 
 This is a clear, colorless, non-inflam- 
 mable liquid, sp. gr. 1.93, boiling at 158 
 C. It is nearly insoluble in water but 
 freely soluble in alcohol and ether. It 
 should be kept from light and air. It 
 is used by inhalation, 10 to 15 drops sev- 
 eral times daily, for asthma, chronic 
 bronchitis, chronic laryngitis, etc., also 
 internally in chronic rheumatism, scro- 
 fula, secondary syphilis, etc., in doses of 
 3 to 9 m.

 Ethylene Bromid. (Dibromethane.) 
 
 This should not be confounded with 
 the relatively non-poisonous ethyl bro- 
 mid. It is a slightly brownish, volatile 
 liquid, very heavy (sp. gr. 2.189) of a 
 chloroformic odor, insoluble in water; 
 soluble in alcohol. It should be pro- 
 tected from light. It is used as a nerve 
 sedative, as in epilepsy, in doses of I or 
 2 minims 2 or 3 times daily, in capsules 
 or emulsion. 
 Ethylenediamine. (178) 
 
 This is a substitution compound of 
 ethylene and ammonia. It is a clear, 
 colorless, thick liquid, sp. gr. 0.97, boil- 
 ing at 117 C. without decomposition, 
 and having a strong alkaline reaction, an 
 ammoniacal odor, and a caustic taste. It 
 is freely soluble in water; it dissolves 
 albumin, even when boiled, very readily. 
 Being a strong base, its incompatibilities 
 are about the same as those -of sodium 
 hydrate. 
 
 It is said to be non-corrosive. It is 
 recommended as an albumin solvent for 
 the solution of false membranes in diph- 
 theria and similar affections of the mu- 
 cous membranes. It is said that this 
 substance can dissolve pus corpuscles. It 
 is recommended for use in the form of 
 kresamine, which see.

 Eubiol. 
 
 This is a hemoglobin preparation oc- 
 curring as a powder and a 50% solution. 
 The powder is odorless, tasteless and 
 soluble in cold water. 
 Eucaine. 
 
 Eucaine B, beta-eucaine, or more 
 properly beta-eucaine hydrochlorid, is 
 chemically benzoyl-vinyl-diacetonalka- 
 mine hydrochlorid. It forms a white, 
 
 crystalline powder, soluble in 20 to 30 
 parts of water at the ordinary tempera- 
 ture, but more soluble in warm water, 
 soluble in 25 to 30 parts of alcohol, pro- 
 ducing neutral solutions which can be 
 sterilized by boiling without change. 
 The saturated aqueous solution gives no 
 precipitate with mercuric chlorid, which 
 distinguishes it from the alpha-eucaine 
 salt. It is incompatible with alkalies 
 and their carbonates. 
 
 Beta-eucaine is a local anesthetic like 
 cocaine, but weaker and devoid of the 
 stimulant properties of the latter. It 
 does not dilate the pupil of the eye nor 
 does it contract the blood vessels as 
 does cocaine. It has the advantage of 
 stability, even on prolonged boiling. It 
 may be used in all cases in which co- 
 caine is indicated as a local anesthetic, 
 especially in ophthalmology. It may be 
 applied in a 2 or 3% solution to the eye, 
 5 to 10% solution to the nose and 
 throat, and 5 to 10% ointment for hem- 
 orrhoids. It is used frequently instead 
 of cocaine in Schleich's method of in- 
 filtration anesthesia. 
 
 Eucaine A (alpha-eucaine), or more 
 correctly alpha-eucaine hydrochlorid, is 
 a different compound chemically from 
 beta-eucaine; it is more toxic and more 
 irritant than beta-eucaine and is used 
 but little. It is used as a substitute for 
 eucaine in general and minor surgery. 
 It is soluble in 10 parts of water. 
 
 Eucaine Lactate. 
 
 This is a salt similar to beta-eucaine 
 hydrochlorid; 119 parts of the lactate 
 contain as much eucaine as 100 parts of 
 the hydrochlorid. It is a white powder, 
 very soluble in water. It is very effec- 
 tive as a local anesthetic and is said to 
 be non-irritating, hence it is preferred 
 for the eye, ear, nose, throat, and in 
 dentistry, and also in infiltration anes- 
 thesia. 
 
 Eucaloids. (23) 
 
 This is a name given to gelatin cap- 
 sules, each containing q minims of pure 
 oil of eucalyptus.

 the equivalent of 90 parts of atropine 
 sulfate. It is incompatible with alkalies 
 and their carbonates. 
 
 Eumydrin is a mydriatic and antihy- 
 drotic, replacing atropine sulfate both 
 internally and externally in correspond- 
 ing doses. It is claimed that it dilates 
 the pupil more rapidly than atropine and 
 the dilatation is of shorter duration — be- 
 ing intermediate in these respects be- 
 tween atropine and homatropine. It is 
 said to be much less toxic than atropine 
 so that larger doses may be given to se- 
 cure the effect. It is particularly recom- 
 mended for the treatment of night 
 sweats, whooping cough and enuresis. 
 Internally as an antihydrotic the dose is 
 1/60 to 1/24 grain. Externally it is used

 der, having a faint aromatic odor and 
 clove-like taste. It is almost insoluble 
 in water, readily soluble in diluted al- 
 cohol, alcohol or ether. It is an ano- 
 dyne, antipyretic and antiseptic. It is 
 recomended in rheumatism, sciatica, 
 headache, etc. It is recommended ex- 
 ternally as a dusting powder in venereal 
 and skin diseases, ulcers, burns, etc. The

 produce vomiting in case of an over- 
 dose. Its solutions are more permanent 
 to light and air 
 Eupyrine. 
 
 This is a compound of paraphenetidin 
 with vanillin ethyl-carbonate. It occurs 
 as light yellow, needle-shaped crystals, 
 tasteless, having a faint odor of vanillin, 
 insoluble in cold water, sparingly soluble 
 in warm water and in cold alcohol, read- 
 ily soluble in warm alcohol, ether and 
 chloroform. It is claimed to be a mild 
 stimulating antipyretic, especially for 
 patients with a weak stomach or other- 
 wise sensitive. Dose, 8 to 15 grains. 
 
 Euquinine. (Euchinin — Quinine 
 Ethyl-Carbonate.) 
 
 This is a light, fleecy conglomeration 
 of delicate, white needles which are 
 practically tasteless. It is sparingly sol- 
 uble in water but readily soluble in alco- 
 hol, ether and chloroform. It forms 
 bitter salts with acids and should there- 
 fore not be prescribed with acids as 
 these develop the bitter taste. It is used 
 in place of quinine on account of its 
 tastelessness. It is said not to cause 
 cinchonism nor to derange the stomach. 
 The dose is the same as that of quinine.

 This contains 2>Va% of cocaine hydro- 
 chlorid with some carbolic acid and oil 
 of rose. — Sadtler. 
 
 Euresol. (Resorcin Monacetate.) 
 
 This is a thick, yellowish, oily liquid, 
 of an agreeable odor and soluble in ace- 
 tone. Its action is similar to that of 
 resorcin but milder and more lasting be- 
 cause of the gradual liberation of phenol. 
 It is recommended for acne, sycosis, 
 seborrhea and particularly in the treat- 
 ment of chilblains. It is applied as a 5 
 to 20% ointment or as an acetone solu- 
 tion.

 plied by moistening the adhesive surface 
 and pressing gently upon the skin, and 
 is removed with a minimum of irrita- 
 tion to the affected parts by gently 
 sponging the outer layer with water, 
 which causes the tough covering to sepa-

 Glutol. (Dr. Schleich.) (Formalin- 
 Gelatin.) (178) 
 
 This is a chemical combination of 
 gelatin and formaldehyde. It is pre- 
 pared by dissolving 20 g. of gelatin in 
 15 g. of water, adding 1 drop of formal- 
 dehyde solution, exposing the mass so 
 obtained, in a covered box over lime, to 
 the vapor of formaldehyde by the aid of 
 a layer of cotton wool saturated with it 
 until a dry mass is produced, and re- 
 ducing this to powder. It is a white, 
 odorless powder, insoluble in water un- 
 der ordinary conditions, but it is dis- 
 solved when heated with water under 
 pressure, the solution thus produced 
 gelatinizing on cooling. It is not chang- 
 ed by acids, alkalies or saline com- 
 pounds, but is slowly decomposed on 
 contact with living tissue, formaldehyde 
 being slowly liberated. It may be steril- 
 ized without decomposition. 
 
 It is claimed that while it is in itself 
 non-antiseptic, non-irritant, and non- 
 toxic, it becomes antiseptic and bacteri- 
 cidal on contact with living cells, in con- 
 sequence of the gradual elimination of 
 formaldehyde. It is used in the undi- 
 luted form as an antiseptic dusting pow- 
 der and is applied to burns, scalds, ulc- 
 ers, wounds, etc.

 glycerophosphate remains in solution. 
 From the calcium salt the other salts 
 can be prepared by precipitating calcium 
 by the appropriate salt of the metal 
 whose glycerophosphate is desired. Po- 
 tassium and sodium glycerophosphates 
 are in the form of dense, syrupy liquids 
 which are exceedingly soluble in water 
 and representing 75% of the respective 
 salts in a dry condition. Calcium, iron, 
 lithium, magnesium, and manganese 
 glycerophosphates are pulverulent salts, 
 moderately soluble in water. The aque- 
 ous solutions of glycerophosphates de- 
 compose in a short time. They should 
 be made with sterilized water, but hot 
 liquids should not be used. 
 
 These salts were introduced as "nerve 
 foods" and tonics on the theory that 
 their phosphorus, being a step nearer 
 lecithin, is assimilated more readily than 
 the hypophosphites. The potassium and 
 sodium salts may be given hypodermi- 
 cally in doses of 3 to 4 grains in normal 
 salt solution, or per mouth in doses of 
 4 to 10 grains in water or syrup. Cal- 
 cium, iron, lithium, magnesium and man- 
 ganese glycerophosphates are given in 
 doses of 10 grains each; the quinine 
 salt in doses of i l / 2 to 5 grains; and the 
 strychnine salt in doses of 1/60 to 1/20 
 grain.

 also readily soluble in alcohol. On 
 warming with mineral acids, both com- 
 pounds are decomposed, morphine being 
 reformed. These substances are directed 
 to be kept in a cool, dry place, in well- 
 corked bottles. They are used as sub- 
 stitutes for opiates \n mixtures for 
 coughs, asthma, phthisis, bronchitis, etc. 
 The dose is 1/24 to 1/12 grain 3 times 
 daily. On account of its solubility, the 
 hydrochlorid is generally preferred.

 tained from balsam of tolu or ma}' be 
 produced synthetically by heating to- 
 gether benzaldehyde, sodium acetate and 
 acetic anhydride. Sodium cinnamate is 
 a white crystalline powder, soluble in 20 
 parts of water, the solution being faint- 
 ly alkaline. On boiling, the alkalinity be- 
 comes stronger on account of the de- 
 composition of the cinnamate to form 
 carbonate. It is incompatible with acids 
 and with oxidizing agents, such as po- 
 tassium permanganate. 
 
 Balsam of peru, cinnamic acid and 
 sodium cinnamate are recommended by 
 Prof. Landerer for the treatment of

 placed in a jacketed kettle and the heat 
 gradually raised to 150 F., and kept 
 agitated for half an hour; the starch is 
 thus transformed into dextrin and grape 
 sugar by the diastase of the malt. The

 with chlorid and hypochlorites and is a 
 colorless powder having a slight anise- 
 like odor. It is soluble with difficulty 
 in water and practically insoluble in al- 
 cohol and ether. It may be heated in 
 the dry state to about 200 C. without 
 decomposition. It contains over 47% ot 
 iodin and liberates iodin from a solution

 of potassium iodid and acetic acid. It is 
 liable to explode if heated or triturated, 
 hence it is marketed in a mixture with 
 an equal weight of calcium phosphate, 
 which is designated "isoform powder." 
 It is incompatible with acids and with 
 reducing agents, such as iodids and with 
 the substances generally which are in- 
 compatible with iodids. 
 
 It is a germicide and antiseptic in 
 consequence of its oxidizing power, and 
 is recommended as a substitute for iodo- 
 form. It is claimed to be non-toxic in 
 comparatively large doses. The dose in- 
 ternally is 10 to 30 grains per day. Ex- 
 ternally it is used as a dusting powder, 
 as a paste with glycerin, in ointments, 
 gauzes, etc., up to 10% of pure isoform. 
 The manufacturers supply an isoform 
 paste, consisting of equal parts of pure

 Isopral. (Trichlor-Isoproyl Alcohol.) 
 This is obtained by reacting, on chloral 
 with magnesium-methyl iodid and de- 
 composing the compound formed. It is 
 in prismatic crystals of a camphoraceous 
 odor and an aromatic, somewhat pun- 
 gent taste. It volatilizes very readily at 
 the ordinary temperature, forming sub- 
 limates similar to camphor. It is soluble 
 in 35 parts of water but more freely in 
 alcohol or ether. It should not be ex- 
 posed to heat or air. 
 
 Its action resembles that of chloral 
 but is active in smaller doses, being 
 about twice as strong. It may be used 
 as a substitute for chloral, and is ser- 
 viceable as an alternative in cases in 
 which it is necessary to give hypnotics a 
 long time. The dose is 5, 10 or 15 
 
 grains in capsules or wafers, which 
 should be dispensed in a well-stoppered 
 bottle.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 yolk. It is best prepared from egg- 
 yolk (in which it exists as vitellin) by 
 dissolving out the lecithin with strong 
 alcohol. It is a yellowish-brown, waxy 
 solid, of peculiar odor, soluble in 
 an equal volume of cold, abso- 
 lute alcohol, readily soluble in chloro- 
 form, benzin, and fats, less readily in 
 ether. It is insoluble in water but swells 
 and decomposes on prolonged contact. 
 It is hygroscopic on exposure to the 
 air. It is incompatible with alkalies 
 and should be kept in well-stoppered 
 bottles protected from light. 
 
 It acts as a stimulant to nutrition and 
 not as a direct nutrient. The number 
 of red corpuscles and the amount of 
 hemoglobin are increased, and the appe- 
 tite is improved. Even in large doses 
 it is not toxic. The ordinary diet con- 
 tain I to 4 drams and some observers 
 claim that the benefits of lecithin may 
 be obtained by increased consumption of 
 lecithin-containing foods (e. g. eggs). 
 Lecithin is recommended for cases of 
 faulty nutrition and is especially rec- 
 ommended as an addition to cow's milk 
 for artificially fed infants. It may be 
 given by mouth in doses of i l / 2 to 8 
 grains per day, in pill form, before

 tasteless, non-caustic, non-irritating pow- 
 der, insoluble in water, and containing 
 80% of bismuth oxid and 20% of beta- 
 naphthol. It is partly decomposed in the 
 stomach and entirely so in the intestines. 
 It exerts an astringent and antiseptic ac- 
 tion along the intestinal tract, and has 
 the advantage of being entirely non- 
 toxic. It is therefore used for summer 
 diarrheas, typhoid fever, dysentery, gas- 
 tritis, etc. The dose is 5 to 15 grains 3 
 times daily.

 is decomposed by boiling with water or 
 by warming with alkalies or their car- 
 bonates. It is a local anesthetic, resem- 
 bling cocaine in its local action but not 
 penetrating the tissues on account of its 
 insolubility. It is somewhat antiseptic 
 and practically non-toxic in the usual 
 doses. It is used~internally to relieve the 
 pain of gastric ulcer. It has been ap- 
 plied locally as an analgesic to wounds 
 of every kind, including burns and ulcers. 
 It has been used in dentistry, in nasal 
 catarrh, hay fever, etc. Internally the 
 dose is 8 to 15 grains. Externally it is 
 used as a dusting powder, or applied as 
 an ethereal solution or oily mixture or 
 in ointment form.

 stals which are almost tasteless, solu- 
 ble in 11 parts of cold water, 2 of 
 alcohol and also soluble in ether. Its 
 incompatibilities in general are the same 
 as those of antipyrin. Oxidizing agents, 
 also acacia, often produce colored solu- 
 tions. It acts as an antipyretic and anal- 
 gesic like antipyrin but is effective in 
 smaller doses. It is claimed to be de- 
 void of harmful influence on the blood, 
 heart, or kidneys, in fact it is said to

 acid in 20 parts of water or 4 of alco- 
 hol. The salts combine the antipyretic 
 action of pyramidon with the antihy- 
 drotic action of camphoric acid. In 
 the neutral salt the antipyretic action of 
 the pyramidon predominates in the acid 
 salt, the antihydrotic action of the cam- 
 phoric acid. They are particularly rec- 
 ommended in the febrile conditions of

 Specific Medicines. (118) 
 
 The manufacturers state that they 
 have become convinced "that ordinary 
 fluid and solid extracts are crude and 
 imperfect." They began a systematic 
 study of each plant, and the perfected 
 result was named a Specific Medicine 
 (not a specific tincture), to distinguish 
 it from all other preparations, for it 
 specifically represents the active princi- 
 ples of the drug yielding it. 
 
 The process of manufacture is not 
 given, except to state that almost all of 
 them are liquid and are made from 
 crude drugs — i. e., plant parts. Each 
 fluidounce is stated to represent 480 
 grains (1 troy ounce) of crude material 
 (unless otherwise stated). The above 
 remarks apply to most of these medi- 
 cines. The following are exceptions: 
 
 Acid Hydrochloric Dilute. — A solu- 
 tion of chemically pure hydrochloric 
 acid. 
 
 Acid Carbolic— A solution of pure 
 crystallized carbolic acid in glycerin. 
 
 Acid Sulfurous. — This is alcohol, sp. 
 
 gr. 0.820, saturated with sulfurous acid 
 gas. 
 
 Cantharis. — An alcoholic solution of 
 the characteristic principles of cantha- 
 rides. 
 
 Carbo Veg. — A trituration with milk 
 sugar, selected powdered wood charcoal 
 being used. 
 
 Cinnamon. — An alcoholic solution of 
 the oil of Ceylon cinnamon. 
 
 Cuprum. — Made the same as Rade- 
 macher's tincture of acetate of copper. 
 
 Elaterium. — Each pint represents 60 
 grains of elaterin. 
 
 Ferri Aceticus. — Made of the proper 
 salts and pure wine vinegar, according 
 to Rademacher's original formuta. 
 
 Phosphorus. — A saturated solution of 
 phosphorus in alcohol. 
 
 Podophyllin Triturated. — Made of true 
 dark podophyllin (precipitated in pure 
 water) and pure milk sugar. 
 
 Sodium Sulfite and Phosphate. — 
 These are not the commercial crystal- 
 lized salts. Each preparation is mostly 
 free from water, and much stronger 
 than the commercial crystallized salts. 
 
 Tela Araneae. — An alcoholic tincture 
 of house spider web.

 tasteless crystalline needles, insoluble in 
 water but readily soluble in alcohol, ace- 
 tone or chloroform. It contains 55% of 
 guaiacol which is split off by the action 
 of alkalies. It is claimed to be an in- 
 testinal antiseptic and to combine the 
 antituberculous properties of guaiacol 
 and cinnamic acid. It is said to liberate 
 in the intestinal canal as much as 857© 
 of its guaiacol content. It is recom- 
 mended for the initial stage of phthisis, 
 chronic enteritis, and intestinal distur- 
 bances in general. The dose is 15 grains 
 3 or 4 times a day.

 Unger's Cure for Drunkenness. 
 
 Dr. Unger's cure for drunkenness was 
 loudly vaunted about 20 years ago, but 
 its uselessness was subsequently proved. 
 As it is still occasionally asked for, it is 
 here given : 
 
 Take 1 pound of best, fresh, quill red 
 Peruvian bark, powder it, and soak it in 
 1 pint of diluted alcohol. Afterward 
 strain and evaporate it down to half a 
 pint. Dose : A teaspoonful every 3 
 hours the first and second day, and oc- 
 casionally moisten the tongue between 
 the doses. It acts like quinine, and the 
 patient can tell by a headache if he is 
 getting too much. The third day take as 
 previous, but reduce the dose to Yz tea- 
 spoonful. Afterward reduce the dose to 
 15 drops, and then down to 10, and then 
 down to five drops. To make a cure, it 
 takes from 5 to 15 days, and extreme 
 cases 30 days. Seven days are about the 
 average in which a cure was said to be 
 effected. — Pharm.

 PERFUMES AND TOILET ARTICLES 
 
 HISTORICAL NOTES. 
 
 The first perfume was the fragrant 
 flower and it still continues to be the 
 favorite despite all the artificial com- 
 binations that man has designed. The 
 use of perfumes, cosmetics, hair dyes, 
 etc., dates back as far as recorded his- 
 tory. 
 
 The Orient and Egypt were the cradle 
 of the art of perfumery and of the use 
 of cosmetics, etc., although there is ap- 
 parently no record of their use among 
 the Chinese and Japanese. The Egyptians 
 and Phoenicians and earlier peoples em- 
 ployed perfumes and cosmetics. Among 
 these people as among the people of to- 
 day, pleasing odors were used, the face 
 and body were ornamented or beautified 
 or oiled, the hair was colored, frizzed, 
 etc., and similar arts were in vogue. 
 
 The Jews learned these arts from the 
 Egyptians during their stay in Goshen 
 but they never became as extravagant in 
 their use as the latter. The Bible con- 
 tains many references to incense but the 
 Jews employed this mainly for religious 
 purposes, incense being burned in the 
 synagogues in censors, a custom still 
 continued by the Catholics today. 
 
 The Greeks were also adepts in the 
 use of perfumes and cosmetics. The 
 Romans were the pupils of the Greeks in 
 these arts as well as in others and dur- 
 ing the consulates and empire, the use 
 of these substances was carried to ex- 
 tremes, so much so that laws were pass- 
 ed against them. 
 
 When the almost savage Huns and 
 Goths swept down over Rome, the use 
 of perfumes and cosmetics almost ceased 
 in Europe. 
 
 At this time, however, the Arabian 
 empire rose to prominence both as a na- 
 tion and in the arts and sciences. The 
 
 Arabs, the ancient masters of chemistry,, 
 were also versed in the manufacture oi 
 perfumes and cosmetics. A number of 
 books on these subjects were written by 
 Arabians during the tenth and eleventh 
 centuries. 
 
 Intercourse with the Orient brought 
 about by the Crusades again made Euro- 
 peans familiar with the art of perfum- 
 ery. Italy and France, in those days the 
 representatives of culture, were the 
 countries in which the preparation of 
 perfumes and cosmetics was carried on 
 on a large scale. A member of a Ro- 
 man family by the name of Frangipanni 
 invented the perfume bearing this name. 
 
 In England, perfumes and cosmetics 
 were not in general use until the reign 
 of Queen Elizabeth. She apparently used 
 these substances in great abundance, and 
 the people soon followed the example of 
 the. court. In fact to such extent were 
 they used that Parliament passed an act 
 in 1770 that if a woman of whatever age 
 or rank, be she maid or widow, beguile 
 any man and inveigle him into matri- 
 mony by the use of perfumery, false 
 hair, corsets, hooped petticoats, high 
 heels, or false hips, she shall suffer the 
 penalty of the law and the marriage 
 shall be null and void. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 DISTINCTIVELY ODOR PREPA- 
 RATIONS. 
 
 These are preparations used mainly or 
 largely for their odor include Handker- 
 chief Extracts, Sachet Powders, Solid 
 Perfumes, Pot Pourris, Fumigating Pas- 
 tilles, Powders, etc.; Cologne Waters, 
 Toilet Waters, Bay Rum, Toilet Vine- 
 gars, and Smelling Salts. 
 
 Fine perfumes can be prepared only 
 by the use of good material; in fact, the 
 
S83 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 best obtainable is none too good for a 
 discriminating taste. In the following 
 paragraphs will be outlined the requisites 
 of the best materials. 
 EXTRACTION OF FLOWER ODORS. 
 
 Flower odors are extracted in various 
 ways, depending on the volatility or the 
 relative proportion of the particular odor 
 to be captured, and in numerous in- 
 stances more than one method is used 
 for extracting the same odor. Curiously 
 enough, an odorous oil extracted by one 
 method does not always smell the same 
 as when extracted by another method. 
 For example, oil of rose obtained by dis- 
 tillation is not the same as when ex- 
 tracted by the more delicate process of 
 enfleurage or by means of volatile solv- 
 ents. 
 
 The application of heat during distil- 
 lation causes chemical changes such as 
 hydrolysis of various delicate constitu- 
 ents and the water absorbs or dissolves 
 some of the ingredients which are there- 
 fore lost to the oil. 
 
 Oils of rosemary, thyme, lavender, 
 geranium, rose and orange flozi'ers are 
 obtained by distillation of the flowers, 
 or, in the case of roses, of the petals 
 alone, with water, this being the most 
 ancient method of obtaining these prin- 
 ciples. Upon standing, the oil floats out 
 on the surface of the distillate while the 
 water may be used again for distilling 
 more oil or it may be sold in the mar- 
 kets as an aromatic water. 
 
 Process 2. For Extraction of Odors. 
 — If, instead of distilling the flowers 
 with water, they are placed on glass 
 plates in wooden frames (resembling 
 window sashes) with thin layers of pur- 
 ified lard, or lard and suet, the proc- 
 ess is called enfleurage. A number of 
 these frames are also placed on top of 
 one another, and every day fresh flowers 
 arc placed upon the fat until the latter 
 is saturated with perfume. These per- 
 fumed fats, known as pomades (pom- 
 mades in French), are sent into the 
 market in different degrees of saturation 
 
 which are indicated by numbers, viz., 8, 
 12, 16, 30, etc. Rose petals and the flow- 
 ers of the orange, jasmine, tuberose, cas- 
 sie, violet, mimosa, heliotrope, reseda or 
 mignonette, and jonquille are treated in 
 this manner. 
 
 Delicate floral odors are extracted in 
 this manner which would be ruined by 
 the heat of distillation. The odorous 
 principles are subsequently extracted 
 from the pomade with alcohol which 
 dissolves out the perfume from the mix- 
 ture of odor and fat. 
 
 Process 3. — Still another method of 
 extraction of floral odors is that of hot 
 maceration in which the flowers are im- 
 mersed and paddled in purified lard 
 which is kept melted and hot. The flow - 
 ers are separated from the lard by 
 straining and all the fat is removed by 
 subjecting them to pressure. Roses, 
 orange flowers, cassie blossoms and vio- 
 lets are extracted in this manner. 
 
 Process 4. — A German firm extracts 
 these flowers with a purified paraffin oil, 
 from which the perfume is to be ex- 
 tracted by agitation with alcohol. The 
 perfumed oil is of unlimited permanency 
 and entirely free from rancidity, and the 
 residue after extraction with alcohol 
 may be used for making hair oil and for 
 other purposes. Other oils, such as olive 
 oil, are also used for the extraction of 
 flower odors. Such impregnated oils 
 have been known "huiles antiques," lat- 
 terly as "huiles aux fleurs." The per- 
 fume may be extracted, as already stat- 
 ed, by agitation with alcohol and subse- 
 quent decantation of the spirituous li- 
 quid. 
 
 Process 5. — This method is an entirely 
 modern one and consists in extracting 
 the odoriferous principles by means of 
 an inodorous (or nearly so) volatile 
 solvent which is subsequently distilled 
 off in a vacuum and is used over again 
 for the same purpose. The perfume re- 
 mains behind in a solid or semi-solid 
 form known as a "concrete oil" or "solid 
 essence." The idea of this process is 
 credited to the chemist Robiquet as early 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 883 
 
 as the year 1835. Among the solvents 
 used are methyl chlorid, carbon disulfid, 
 chloroform, ether, acetone and petroleum 
 ether. The solvent must leave no resid- 
 uary odor of its own and must there- 
 fore be highly purified for this purpose. 
 In this process the perfume remains be- 
 hind mixed with waxy, fatty and color- 
 ing matters extracted by the solvent. 
 This process of extraction of flower 
 odors has now been improved so that 
 even the waxy and fatty matters are 
 eliminated and the liquid essence, or 
 what is practically the absolute odor of 
 the flower, is now in some cases availa- 
 ble. The particulars of these improved 
 processes are usually either secret or 
 patented. 
 
 These absolute essences are exceed- 
 ingly expensive, a kilogram of absolute 
 essence of violets being quoted at about 
 15,000 francs (nearly $3,000). For con- 
 venience these essences are marketed in 
 the form of alcoholic solutions of such 
 strength as to correspond to the con- 
 crete essence. These essences being so 
 very costly are all usually sold in the 
 form of either solid or liquid dilutions, 
 the former being the usual concrete es- 
 sence of the market. 
 
 Process 6. — This method of extracting 
 flower odors is by what is known as the 
 pneumatic method. Air or carbonic an- 
 hydride is blown over the flowers onto 
 glass plates coated with lard which lat- 
 ter retains the perfume. This method 
 has not, however, proved satisfactory: 
 
 It will be observed that frequently the 
 same flowers are extracted by different 
 processes. The odor is inclined to vary 
 according to the process, that by distilla- 
 tion being the least -fragrant but at the 
 same time the most tenacious or endur- 
 ing. The price of the product also varies 
 in accordance with the fragrance and 
 the yield. The variation in odor very 
 widely, of course, augments the capacity 
 of the perfumer to produce perfumery 
 products. 
 
 56 
 
 ESSENTIAL OILS. 
 
 It is in the case of volatile oils that 
 the greatest difficulty is experienced in 
 securing first-class material. They should 
 not only be free from adulterations but 
 should be of the very best grade as 
 there is the greatest variation in the 
 quality of essential oils. Adulteration 
 of these oils are very frequently prac- 
 ticed and with the utmost ingenuity to 
 defeat attempts at detection. 
 
 In the case of oils containing stearop- 
 tens, spermaceti is used as an adulterant. 
 Purified kerosene is also used, also res- 
 ins, alcohol, rectified oil of turpentine, 
 various other mixtures, and very com- 
 monly cheaper or inferior grades of oil 
 of the same kind. 
 
 The tests for adulteration are usually 
 the polariscope and solubility in alcohol, 
 full strength or diluted. 
 
 The utmost care should be taken to 
 preserve these oils. They should be 
 kept in small, well-stoppered bottles, 
 preferably in a cool and dark place. All 
 of them decompose in time, the odor be- 
 ing altered materially. 
 
 Not all volatile oils used for perfum- 
 ery purposes are obtained from flowers. 
 Some precious and useful oils are ob- 
 tained from herbs, roots, fruit rinds, 
 woods, etc., such as the oils of orris, 
 orange, lemon, cedrat, bergamot, pat- 
 chouly, vetivert, geranium, etc. 
 
 Only such essential oils are here men- 
 tioned as are obtained by such processes 
 as expression and distillation and are 
 placed on the market in the isolated 
 state. Those that are extracted by the 
 process of enfleurage and maceration in 
 oils and require subsequent treatment of 
 the fat with alcohol are referred to un- 
 der the pomades. 
 
 Oil of Bitter Almond is now obtaina- 
 ble deprived of hydrocyanic acid, and 
 owing to the excessively poisonous char- 
 acter of the latter such an oil should be 
 preferred for perfumery purposes. The 
 artificial oil known as benzaldehyde 
 when purified may advantageously re- 
 
S84: 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 place the natural oil. It contains, of 
 course, no hydrocyanic acid. It is now 
 recognized by the U. S. P. This should 
 not be confounded with the so-called oil 
 of mirbane (nitrobenzol or nitroben- 
 zene) which has a resemblance in odor 
 to oil of bitter almonds but is totally 
 unfit for perfumery purposes. 
 
 Oil of Bay is an oil used almost ex- 
 clusively for the manufacture of "bay 
 rum." It contains eugenol which re- 
 minds of oil of cloves and terpenes 
 which remind of oil of pimento. It is 
 soluble in about an equal quantity of 
 alcohol, becoming less soluble on stand- 
 ing, due to oxidation of the terpenes. 
 Concurrently the oil becomes thicker 
 and darker. 
 
 Oil of Bcrgamot can usually be ob- 
 tained of good quality and it is quite 
 permanent. It owes its virtues mainly 
 to linalyl acetate; it also contains lina- 
 lool. It is adulterated with oils of tur- 
 pentine, orange, or inferior grades of 
 bergamot. 
 
 Of the Oils of Lavender Flowers, the 
 English, or so-called "Mitcham," is the 
 most highly esteemed owing to the larger 
 proportion of linalyl acetate present. 
 They also contain linalool and cineol. 
 
 Oil of Lin aloe is obtained by the dis- 
 tillation of the wood of plants growing 
 in Mexico and Guiana. Its main con- 
 stituent is linalool which is readily con- 
 verted into linalyl acetate, the main con- 
 stituent of oil of bergamot. 
 
 Oil of Rose Geranium (or Pelargon- 
 ium) is of considerable importance as it 
 has an odor similar to that of rose and 
 the distillers and dealers in oil of rose 
 have no hesitancy in adding oil of rose 
 geranium to it. Curiously this latter oil 
 is itself notably subject to adulteration, 
 the principal adulterant being "palma- 
 rosa oil" or "oil of ginger-grass," which 
 has a very similar odor. The principal 
 constituent of both palmarosa and rose 
 geranium oils is geraniol or rhodinol 
 which is itself now an article of com- 
 merce. Oil of rose geranium is derived 
 by distillation of the leaves. The best 
 
 kinds are the French and Spanish oils, 
 the so-called African and Algerian being 
 of inferior quality. 
 
 Oil of Neroli or Orange Flowers is of 
 several varieties. What is called Oil of 
 Neroli Bigarade is derived from the 
 flowers of the bitter orange, Oil of 
 Neroli Portugal from the flowers of the 
 sweet orange. The oils are not entirely 
 alike, the Bigarade being much finer in 
 odor and being more expensive. Oil of 
 Neroli Petale is a superior grade of the 
 Bigarade oil. A much inferior oil de- 
 rived by distillation of the leaves, twigs 
 and unripe fruit of the bitter orange 
 tree is known as Oil of Petitgrain. It is 
 too coarse for use in any fine perfum- 
 ery. It is said that hardly any pure arti- 
 cle reaches the market, the so-called 
 "genuine oil" being a mixture of l A real 
 oil, Y% oil of bergamot, and Y& of petit- 
 grain oil. It is used in making cologne 
 water. 
 
 Of the various kinds of Oil of Clove, 
 that known as the Bourbon is most 
 highly esteemed. The main constituent 
 is eugenol, which is now an article of 
 commerce and is recognized by several 
 pharmacopeias. 
 
 Lemon and Orange, the two citrine 
 oils, are very frequently adulterated and 
 are very prone to decomposition. These 
 oils on keeping become thickish and ac- 
 quire a terebenthinate quality which 
 precludes their use from any purpose 
 whatever. They should be preserved 
 like other oils in small, well-stoppered 
 bottles in a cool place. An excellent 
 suggestion is to add 5 or 10% of alcohol 
 to the fresh oil, which assists in keeping 
 the oils in good condition. They are 
 adulterated with alcohol or oil of tur- 
 pentine. The three fruit oils, bergamot, 
 lemon and orange, are obtained from the 
 rinds of the fruits by breaking open the 
 oil cells on the surface of the fruit and 
 absorbing the oil with a sponge. In- 
 ferior grades of oil are obtained by dis- 
 tillation. The main constituent of lemon 
 oil is citral, which is also an article of 
 commerce. For commercial purposes, 
 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 885 
 
 citral is derived from another oil, viz., 
 oil of lemon-grass. 
 
 Oil of Citron, another fruit oil, is 
 more commonly known as Oil of Cedrat, 
 and is derived from the rind of a fruit 
 similar to the lemon. It is similar to 
 oil of lemon but is of a much richer and 
 more fragrant odor. 
 
 Oil of Rose, frequently called otto or 
 attar of roses, is obtained in South- 
 eastern Europe by distillation of rose 
 petals with water. Owing to the small 
 amount of oil they contain, only about 
 one pound to 3,000 pounds of petals, the 
 oil is excessively expensive and this sub- 
 jects it to the grossest adulterations. 
 The main constituent is the stearopten 
 and this accounts for the frequent adul- 
 teration with spermaceti. Oil of rose 
 geranium is also a common adulterant. 
 Rose is a very popular odor and conse- 
 quently there are many varieties of rose 
 perfumes, besides being a constituent of 
 many other combinations of odors. It 
 is often possible to replace rose partially 
 with rose geranium but this must be 
 done judiciously and is more advantage- 
 ous in the case of the weaker perfumes 
 like the toilet waters. 
 
 Oil of Sandalwood is largely adulter- 
 ated, usually with castor and other fixed 
 oils. Various mixtures of other oils 
 have posed as santal oil. The best oil is 
 the so-called "English" or East India oil, 
 which should contain nearly 90% of san- 
 talol. 
 
 Oil of Cedarzvood or Red Cedar is 
 like oil of santal an example of a vola- 
 tile oil derived from a wood. The kind 
 of cedarwood which furnishes this oil 
 is the same as that used for cigar boxes 
 and lead pencils, not the white cedar of 
 the northern regions which furnishes an 
 oil of too great similarity to turpentine 
 to be available for perfumery purposes. 
 The kind known as Florida oil of cedar- 
 wood is to be preferred for the manu- 
 facture of perfumes. 
 
 Oil of Patchouli is a thick, dense oil 
 derived by distillation of the leaves 
 (and, in inferior grades, of the stems) 
 
 of an East Indian plant. Oil of cubeb 
 and cedar are frequent adulterants. In 
 a concentrated state it possesses a dis- 
 agreeable odor, a characteristic of many 
 other essential oils, but in a diluted state 
 is tolerably fragrant. It is added to per- 
 fumes mainly to impart stability to the 
 odor. 
 
 Oil of Vetivert, like oil of patchouli, 
 comes from India., It is derived by dis- 
 tillation of the rhizome of a large grass 
 called vetivert or kus-kus. Also like 
 patchouli oil, it is of a thickish consist- 
 ency and it lacks fragrance in concen- 
 tration. When mixed with flower odors 
 it imparts permanence to the latter. 
 
 Oil of Ylang Ylang or Ihland Ihlang 
 is derived from the islands of Luzon 
 and Borneo. This word signifies in 
 Tagal language "flower of flowers." The 
 flowers yield the oil upon distillation. 
 The first portions of distillate are sold 
 as oil of ylang ylang, the later portions 
 as Oil of Cananga (or Kananga). The 
 first has a much finer odor and is much 
 more expensive. 
 
 Oil of Ceylon Cinnamon is the most 
 highly esteemed of the oils of cinnamon. 
 It is stated that a true cinnamon oil sel- 
 dom reaches the market, the commercial 
 oil being derived by distilling the peel- 
 ings of the bark and the leaves. It is 
 usually weak in cinnamic aldehyde, its 
 principal constituent, of which it should 
 contain not less than 75%. 
 
 Oil of Orris is obtained by distillation 
 of orris root with steam. Some claim 
 that the oil does not pre-exist in the 
 root but is developed during distillation. 
 The yield is very small, having been 
 variously stated to be from 1/10 to 
 8/10%. The product obtained is a semi- 
 solid mass which is called "orris butter" 
 or "concrete oil of orris" and contains 
 85% of myristic acid, an odorless sub- 
 stance. When the latter is removed the 
 residue is known as "concentrated or 
 liquid oil of orris," and it consists main- 
 ly of the principle irone, which is the 
 ultimate odorous principle of orris root. 
 Irone is itself an article of commerce. 
 
88G 
 
 HE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 The oil of orris referred to in the for- 
 mulas in this book is the liquid oil. 
 Much of the liquid oil of the market is 
 simply a solution of the concentrated 
 oil in alcohol. Owing to the small yield 
 it is exceedingly expensive and it is used 
 sparingly in mixtures. Its odor is simi- 
 lar to that of violets and it is used in 
 mixtures as a substitute for and for 
 strengthening the natural odor of the 
 latter. 
 
 Some oils of orris of the market are 
 stated to be merely mixtures of cedar 
 and other oils with true oil of orris. 
 
 Oil of Mignonette Flowers, or Reseda, 
 is a dark oil and like concrete oil of 
 orris is solid at ordinary temperatures. 
 
 Oil of Verbena is obtained by distilla- 
 tion of the leaves of the lemon verbena 
 but on account of its scarcity and high 
 price it is almost entirely displaced by 
 Oil of Lemongrass, a very similar oil. 
 
 Oil of Rosemary is of two kinds, 
 French and Italian or, more properly, 
 Dalmation. The former is much finer 
 and is the higher priced. 
 
 Commercial "Oil of Jasmine/' as it 
 has appeared on the market, has been 
 simply the alcoholic washings of jas- 
 mine pomade. True oil of jasmine is 
 also obtainable but it is exceedingly ex- 
 pensive. In its place may be used the 
 artificial or synthetic oil which is now an 
 article of commerce. Another similar 
 synthetic oil is Oil of Cassie. 
 
 TERPENELESS OILS. 
 
 The volatile oils are complex bodies, 
 being composed of a great variety of 
 constituents such as hydrocarbons, alco- 
 hols, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, esters 
 and some sulfur compounds. The hy- 
 drocarbons (bodies consisting of hydro- 
 gen and carbon only) present are of 
 the class known as terpenes, consisting 
 of the terpenes proper, the sesquiter- 
 penes, diterpenes, triterpenes, etc. These 
 terpenes are characterized by lack of 
 aroma and very sparing solubility in di- 
 luted alcohol and the ease with which 
 they become oxidized and resinified in 
 
 the presence of air, light and moisture, 
 while the remaining constituents are 
 (mostly) the true odor carriers. It fol- 
 lows that if terpene-bearing volatile oils, 
 which include practically all essential 
 oils, be deprived of terpenes, the product 
 will be greatly improved. A number of 
 such terpeneless, or so-called concen- 
 trated, volatile oils are now commercial- 
 ly available. 
 
 These terpeneless oils are not readily 
 changed upon exposure, are readily solu- 
 ble in dilute alcohol, and the aroma is 
 purer and more delicate. On account of 
 the lower boiling point of terpenes, 
 these are readily removed by the process 
 of fractional distillation. 
 
 Among the terpeneless oils of the 
 market are oils of lemon, orange, laven- 
 der, caraway, clove, anise,- coriander, 
 peppermint, sassafras, eucalyptus, etc. 
 All volatile oils do not, however, con- 
 tain sufficient terpene to make it an ob- 
 ject to remove it. These terpeneless oils 
 must not be confounded with the iso- 
 lated oxygenated components, such as 
 citral, for instance, which is sometimes 
 sold as "terpeneless lemon oil." 
 
 CONCRETE OILS. 
 
 The so-called "concrete oils," also 
 known as "concrete essences" and "con- 
 centrated flower oils" and less appro- 
 priately as "concrete perfumes," are de- 
 rived, as already explained under Ex- 
 traction of Flower Odors, by extraction 
 of the flowers with a volatile solvent 
 and subsequent evaporation of the solv- 
 ent, except concrete oil of orris, which 
 is obtained by distillation of orris root. 
 One pound of concrete oil will often re- 
 place ioo pounds of pomade made by 
 the enfleurage process. Among the con- 
 crete oils, other than oil of orris, which 
 are now commercially available are those 
 of cassie, rose, tuberose, mignonette, 
 lilac, violet, and heliotrope. Concrete 
 oil of orris is described under Essential 
 Oils. These oils are not entirely soluble 
 in alcohol, owing to the presence of 
 waxy and fatty matters. 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 887 
 
 Owing to the highly concentrated and 
 expensive character of these oils, they 
 are usually placed on the market in the 
 form of alcoholic solutions or of mix- 
 tures with wax. The latter must be 
 treated with alcohol to extract the odor- 
 ous principle. 
 
 CHEMICAL PREPARATIONS AND 
 SYNTHETIC PERFUMES. 
 
 The chemical preparations used in per- 
 fumery manufacture, including the syn- 
 thetics employed for this purpose, may 
 be classed into those extracted .or iso- 
 lated from other substances such as vol- 
 atile oils, and those obtained by syn- 
 thesis. A familiar example of the for- 
 mer is menthol, of the latter, vanillin. 
 This distinction is, however, not accu r 
 rately drawn because many principles 
 formerly obtained by separation from a 
 mother substance are now prepared syn- 
 thetically, vanillin itself being an exam- 
 ple. Even some of the essential oils 
 formerly obtained exclusively by natural 
 means are now prepared artificially. The 
 study of volatile oils in the last decade 
 has given chemists such a knowledge of 
 their constitution that they are able to 
 assemble the constituents, taken from 
 various other source's, and thus produce 
 a duplicate of the natural perfume. 
 Such products are the artificial oils of 
 ylang ylang, cassie, and jasmine. 
 
 The number of synthetic perfumes is 
 now quite great and is constantly in- 
 creasing. Not only are the natural odors 
 imitated but entirely new odor products 
 have been made, thus greatly widening 
 the range of possible combinations of 
 odors. 
 
 These synthetic substances are made 
 by processes which in most instances are 
 secret or patented, and very frequently 
 the same substance is known by a gre'at 
 variety of names, each manufacturer 
 having a different set of names for 
 many of his products from those used 
 by other manufacturers. 
 
 These synthetic products are not used 
 entirely for making perfumery and toilet 
 articles ; they are used also for making 
 
 flavoring extracts, liqueurs or cordials, 
 and soaps. Inferiors or coarser kinds 
 are generally employed for perfuming 
 soap. 
 
 Artificial Musk was one of the earliest 
 synthetic perfume products. It lacks the 
 stability or fixing power of the natural 
 substance, but it serves an excellent pur- 
 pose and is much less expensive than 
 true musk. It is frequently specified in 
 perfume formulas as "musc-Baur." 
 
 Vanillin and Cumarin were also early 
 products of the synthetic chemist's skill. 
 The former is naturally present in va- 
 nilla but L made synthetically from 
 coniferin (from pine wood) and from 
 eugenol. 
 
 Cumarin is the active principle of 
 tonka beans but is also present in many 
 plants, being widely distributed through- 
 out the vegetable kingdom (clover, 
 deer's-tongue, woodruff, etc.). It is pre- 
 pared artificially from salicylic anhy- 
 dride. It has the scent of new-mown 
 hay. 
 
 Foin Coupe, so-called, is a commercial 
 product sold for the preparation of the 
 scent of new-mown hay. It appears to 
 be a mixture consisting mostly of cuma- 
 rin. 
 
 Eugenol is a prominent constituent of 
 oil of clove and is also present in the 
 oils of bay, pimento, and sassafras. It 
 is the starting point in one process for 
 the manufacture of artificial vanillin 
 and various other substances. It is now 
 recognized in the U. S. and German 
 Pharmacopeias. 
 
 Citral is among the best known prod- 
 ucts which are isolated from other sub- 
 stances. It is the active principle of oil 
 of lemon, which for commercial pur- 
 poses is derived from oil of lemon-grass 
 which contains it more abundantly. 
 
 Geronil is a constituent present in 
 several oils, such as oils of citronella, 
 linaloe, verbena, rose, rose geranium, 
 and palmarosa, and in small amounts in 
 many other oils. For commercial pur- 
 poses, it may be separated from the 
 ,chcapest of these, such as oil of citron- 
 
888 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 ella. Artificially it is prepared from cit- 
 ral or linalool. 
 
 Citronellol is also present in the same 
 group of oils but these ingredients are 
 present in different proportions and 
 there are many other modifying con- 
 stituents in the various oils to account 
 for the differences in odor. Citronellol 
 is made artificially from citronellal, still 
 another constituent of oil of citronella. 
 Combinations of geraniol and citronellol 
 have an odor of rose and are used as 
 substitutes for oil of rose under the 
 names Rhodinol and Roseol. 
 
 Linalool is a substance present in oils 
 of linaloe, bergamot, neroli, lavender, 
 thyme, and ylang ylang. It is also made 
 artificially from geraniol and it is the 
 source of Linalyl Acetate, the principle 
 constituent of oil of bergamot. 
 
 What is sold in the market as Berga- 
 miol is linalyl acetate. 
 
 Cinnamic Aldehyde is obtained by 
 separation from oil of cinnamon, of 
 which it is the main constituent. Syn- 
 thetically it is prepared from a mixture 
 of benzoic and acetic aldehydes. It is 
 usually sold as "artificial oil of cassia" 
 and it is purer and more reliable than 
 the commercial oils. 
 
 The corresponding alcohol, Cinnamyl 
 Alcohol, is a synthetic possessing the 
 odor of hyacinths and also of the mea- 
 dowsweet. 
 
 Benzaldchyde or Benzoic Aldehyde is 
 another aldehyde used for perfumery 
 and flavoring purposes. It is a substi- 
 tute for essential oil of bitter almonds. 
 It is now recognized by the U. S. Phar- 
 macopeia. 
 
 Aubcpine or Anisic Aldehyde is an- 
 other aldehydic perfume which is made 
 artificially from phenol and from oil of 
 anise or its constituent anethol. It is in 
 two forms, liquid and crystal ; the for- 
 mer is soluble and is used in liquid per- 
 fumes, the latter is insoluble and is used 
 in sachet powders, etc. The liquid oxi- 
 dizes readily when exposed to air to 
 anisic acid and therefore should be kept 
 in well-closed bottles. It has the odor 
 
 of the hawthorn and may-blossom. A 
 similar synthetic product is known as 
 Crategine. 
 
 lonone is probably the most interest- 
 ing synthetic product used in perfumery. 
 It is made from citral and acetone and 
 is marketed in the form of a 10% solu- 
 tion. It is used as a substitute for oil 
 of orris and its active principle irone. 
 
 Ionarol is a very closely related prod- 
 uct, and irone is also an article of com- 
 merce. These substances are used for 
 making violet perfume but alone they 
 do not possess the requisite "body" and 
 require fortification with violet pomade 
 washings and oil of orris. 
 
 Heliotropin or Piperonal is a crystal- 
 line substance made from piperine, also 
 by oxidation of safrol, which is con- 
 tained in oils of sassafras and camphor. 
 On account of not keeping well, it 
 should be dissolved when fresh in alco- 
 hol and the solution should be kept in a 
 cool, as well as a dark, olace. It has 
 the odor of heliotrope. 
 
 (EUlet is a name applied to Artificial 
 Carnation; it is chemically Isoeugenol, 
 a derivative of eugenol. It is a thick- 
 ish, yellow liquid, and is used for pre- 
 paring carnation scent. 
 
 Perfumes possessing the clover or 
 treile odor have become very popular. 
 These are made with Amyl Salicylate 
 as a base, which is known commercially 
 by such names as Trefol, Orchidol, and 
 Trecarnol. 
 
 Terpineol or Lilacine is prepared by 
 the action of dilute sulfuric acid upon 
 terpin hydrate. It appears in two forms, 
 a liquid and a semi-solid, of which the 
 former is the finer. It has the odor of 
 lilacs and it also recalls the odor of 
 elder flowers and hyacinths. It is fre- 
 quently of poor quality. 
 
 What is sold as Muguet or Oil of 
 Muguet is terpineol mixed with smaller 
 quantities of other ingredients. 
 
 A synthetic of importance is Methyl 
 Anthranilate, which is made by a secret 
 process. It has an odor resembling oil 
 of orange flowers but a real Artificial 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 889 
 
 Oil of Neroli is also obtainable. The 
 component parts are kept secret but 
 probably consist of methyl anthranilate, 
 geraniol, geranyl acetate, linalool, linalyl 
 acetate, limonene, and indol. 
 
 Bromelia and Yara are two similar 
 compounds used in perfumery (mostly 
 for soaps), the former being the ethyl 
 ester, the latter the methyl ester, of 
 betanaphthol. The former has an odor 
 recalling cassie flowers, the latter the 
 odor of orange blossoms. 
 
 Artificial Oil of Jasmin is also a per- 
 fect reproduction of the natural oil. In 
 this case, as in that pf Neroli for 
 Orange Blossoms, it was only necessary 
 for the chemist to discover the com- 
 ponent parts of the natural oil and then 
 to combine these constituents (taken 
 from other sources). For example, oil 
 of jasmine was found to have the fol- 
 lowing percentage composition : 
 
 Benzyl acetate 65.5 
 
 Benzyl alcohol 6.0 
 
 Methyl anthranilate 0.5 
 
 Linalool 15. 5 
 
 Linalyl acetate 7-5 
 
 Jasmone 30 
 
 Indol 2.5 
 
 The chemist has only to make and 
 mix these constituents in his laboratory 
 to reproduce the pure oil. 
 
 Practically this oil is said to be made 
 from the following mixture : 
 
 Benzyl acetate parts 55 
 
 Benzyl alcohol parts 20 
 
 Linalyl acetate parts 15 
 
 Linalool parts 10 
 
 The artificial oil is cheaper than the 
 natural because of the scarcity of the 
 flowers, and is also considered superior 
 because it is always uniform and has 
 not been altered by distillation or any 
 process requiring heat. 
 
 Ylang Ylang, produced artificially in 
 the synthetic form, is considered supe- 
 rior to the natural product because it is 
 always uniform and much less expen- 
 sive. 
 
 What is called Oil of Niobe is chemi- 
 cally Methyl Benzoate. It is described 
 as a liquid of a pleasant odor. 
 
 What has been sold as "artificial oil 
 of lemon" was found to be merely an 
 alcoholic solution of citral obtained 
 from lemongrass oil, sometimes with a 
 little real oil of lemon added to it. On 
 account of the multiplicity of the newer 
 perfume products it has been possible 
 to exploit some fake substances and it 
 behooves the manufacturer of perfumes 
 to be on his guard in purchasing his 
 supplies. What has been sold as "iri- 
 sol" for the manufacture of violet per- 
 fume was found to consist of 2^% of 
 concrete oil of orris and 97^2% of acet- 
 anilid. 
 
 A number of other "fake" perfume 
 products have been exposed, viz.: 
 
 Ambrettaria was found to be a mix- 
 ture of 1 part of musk-seed (ambrette) 
 oil, 19 parts of acetanilid, with traces 
 of artificial musk. 
 
 Oil of Catalpa; terpineol with a little 
 added oil of ylang ylang. 
 
 Oil of Narcissus ; a by-product in the 
 manufacture of terpineol. It was of- 
 fered for making the scent of narcissus. 
 
 Oil of Ylang Ylang was found to be 
 cananga oil with a little added oil of 
 Peru balsam. 
 
 There are also synthetic substitutes 
 for musk, civet and ambergris, which 
 will be referred to later. 
 
 ALCOHOL. 
 
 A vehicle is required to hold the deli- 
 cate floral oils and other odorous prin- 
 ciples and none has proved more satis- 
 factory than ethyl or grain alcohol. It 
 volatilizes readily yet not too rapidly, it 
 is a solvent of a wide range of power 
 and is entirely unalterable or non-de- 
 composable. Its slight odor is its only 
 objection as the ideal vehicle for per- 
 fumery purposes is entirely inodorous. 
 It is sometimes impure, due to the pres- 
 ence of fusel oil, furfurol and other 
 odorous contaminations which would 
 modify or destroy the delicate fragrant 
 odors which are the main ingredients of 
 fine perfumes. The best kind of alcohol 
 is what is known as "deodorized alco- 
 
890 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 hol." Another grade of alcohol which 
 is fairly good is what is sold as "cologne 
 spirit," which is the "middle run" ob- 
 tained in the manufacture of ordinary 
 alcohol, and is fairly free from fusel oil. 
 
 The difference between ordinary alco- 
 hol and purified alcohol can be deter- 
 mined very easily by rubbing a few 
 drops between the hands and allowing 
 the alcohol to evaporate entirely; a re- 
 siduary odor remains in the case of or- 
 dinary alcohol, which is quite marked 
 and very pungent and objectionable. 
 The alcohol should also be of full 
 strength for perfumery purposes as a 
 weak spirit will dissolve oils imperfectly. 
 
 Many methods for deodorizing alco- 
 hol have been recommended but the fol- 
 lowing wiil be found satisfactory : 
 
 A convenient amount of alcohol is 
 shaken with powdered potassium per- 
 manganate until it assumes a decided 
 color. Then allow to stand for several 
 hours until the permanganate has be- 
 come decomposed, and brown manga- 
 nese dioxid has deposited. A pinch of 
 pulverized calcium carbonate should 
 then be added and the whole subjected 
 to distillation, using a well-cooled re- 
 ceiver. Distil very slowly at first, test- 
 ing the distillate frequently, until a mix- 
 ture of the distillate and a strong 
 (syrupy) solution of pure caustic soda 
 or potassa, in the proportion of 10 of 
 the former to I of the latter, gives no 
 perceptible yellow coloration, on stand- 
 ing for 20 minutes or half an hour. 
 The first portion of distillate that yields 
 this coloration should be rejected; the 
 last one-eighth of liquid should not be 
 distilled and should also be rejected. 
 The remaining portion only is adapted 
 for use. 
 
 Another excellent means of deodor- 
 izing is by adding I to i l /> drams of so- 
 dium peroxid to a gallon of alcohol, al- 
 lowing to stand 24 hours, agitating oc- 
 casionally, and then carefully distilling. 
 
 To avoid the dcodorization of alcohol 
 with its consequent bother and loss by 
 distillation, as well as to overcome or 
 
 subdue its natural odor, it has been sug- 
 gested to treat in other ways or to 
 make various additions. The following 
 have been suggested : 
 
 I. 
 
 Alcohol gall. I 
 
 Quicklime, in powder dr. 4 
 
 Alum, powder dr. 2 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether dr. 1 
 
 Mix all together, shake thoroughly, 
 set aside for 7 days, agitating occasion- 
 ally, and filter. 
 
 II. 
 
 Alcohol gall. 1 
 
 Animal charcoal .av.oz. 2 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether m. 30 
 
 Oil of nutmeg m. 30 
 
 Cumarin gr. 20 
 
 Vanillin gr. 10 
 
 Tincture of Siam benzoin, .fl.oz. 1 
 
 Macerate the alcohol with charcoal 
 for at least 7 days, agitating frequently, 
 filter through talcum, and then add the 
 other ingredients. 
 
 The latter combination is said to 
 blend and sweeten the odorous constit- 
 uents of perfumes, and at the same 
 time serves as a "fixing" agent. 
 
 Slightly different is the following, 
 which has also been highly recom- 
 mended : 
 
 Cumarin : gr. 5 
 
 Vanillin gr. 10 
 
 Spirit of nitrous ether fl.dr. 4 
 
 Tincture of benzoin fl.oz. 4 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 8 
 
 Alcohol gall. 1 
 
 Wood or methyl alcohol in a highly 
 purified form has been suggested as a 
 vehicle for perfumes but it has a 
 stronger and more persistent odor than 
 pure ethyl alcohol and its poisonous 
 character renders it entirely unfit for 
 this purpose. 
 
 AROMATIC WATERS. 
 
 Orange flower and rose waters are 
 frequently employed in perfumes as a 
 solvent or diluent. Only the best im- 
 ported full-strength "triple" water 
 should be used for fine handkerchief 
 extracts. If plain water is required, 
 distilled water only should be used. 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 891 
 
 SOLID SUBSTANCES USED IN 
 PERFUMERY. 
 
 A number of interesting and impor- 
 tant solid substances are used in making 
 handkerchief perfumes, toilet waters, 
 sachet powders and fumigating powders. 
 The most important, interesting and 
 valuable of these are the substances of 
 animal origin, Musk, Ambergris and Ci- 
 vet, which are used mainly in the man- 
 ufacture of handkerchief perfumes. All 
 three have an intense and repulsive odor 
 but they are used generally not for their 
 own odor but for their peculiar prop- 
 erty of imparting persistency, i. e., "fix- 
 ing" the fugitive flower-* odors and mak- 
 ing them permanent. For this purpose 
 only very small amounts are required. 
 Owing to their expensive character and 
 the difficulty of detecting impurities, 
 they are subjected to the grossest adul- 
 teration and the utmost care must be 
 exercised to obtain the purest product. 
 
 Musk is the most extensively em- 
 ployed of the three animal substances 
 mentioned. There are two principal va- 
 rieties, the Tonquin, or so-called Thi- 
 betan or Chinese, and the Russian or 
 Siberian. It comes into the market in 
 two forms, pods and "grain," both of 
 which are adulterated sadly and in di- 
 verse ways. The first form is the pods 
 as they are removed from the animal, 
 the musk deer, but it is not practicable 
 for ordinary dealers to buy this form. 
 It is frequently adulterated with lead or 
 pieces of stone to increase the weight. 
 
 "Grain musk" is the dried secretion 
 of ther musk sac in a granular form, 
 whence the name. It is adulterated with 
 pieces of dried liver, dung and other 
 animal matter, and sometimes it con- 
 sists almost entirely of foreign animal 
 matter with a little musk added to im- 
 part an odor. It may be obtained at any 
 price according to the degree of adul- 
 teration. It should be purchased from 
 responsible dealers who are willing to 
 furnish a guaranty. 
 
 The odor of musk is subdued or mod- 
 ified by camphor, acids, various essen- 
 
 tial oils, etc., and is intensified by small 
 amounts of alkali. There are other sub- 
 stances which have a musk-like odor 
 such as the secretion of the musk rat, 
 also musk (or sumbul) root and musk 
 seed. The latter is used in perfumery 
 and will be referred to later ; musk root 
 is employed only for medicinal pur- 
 poses, and the musk rat secretion has 
 been experimented with for perfumery 
 purposes but has never gained favor. 
 
 Ambergris, so-called from its fancied 
 resemblance to amber, is a disease ex- 
 cretory product derived from the intes- 
 tines of the sperm whale. It is found 
 floating on the surface of the ocean. 
 
 Civet is a secretion derived from the 
 civet cat, an animal found in North Af- 
 rica and East India. It is obtained 
 mostly from India, where the animal is 
 kept in captivity to obtain this secre- 
 tion. 
 
 All three animal substances yield their 
 virtues to alcohol. To facilitate extrac- 
 tion they should be first triturated with 
 at least an equal amount of finely granu- 
 lated orris root. 
 
 Musk, ambergris and civet are now 
 frequently replaced by synthetic prod- 
 ucts called Artificial Musk, Ambrol and 
 Artificial Civet (or Civetol), but which 
 are not artificial products in the sense 
 that artificial oils of jasmine and ylang 
 yland are exact substitutes for the nat- 
 ural oils, but are synthetic chemicals 
 having an odor similar to the natural 
 products. 
 
 Artificial Musk, also called Musc- 
 Baur and Tonquinol, is chemically, trini- 
 trobutyl-xylene. It is in white or yel- 
 lowish crystals which are soluble in al- 
 cohol and have a strong musk-like odor. 
 This is sometimes replaced or substitut- 
 ed by inferior substances. 
 
 Musk Seed, also called abelmoschus 
 or ambrette seed, is derived from a plant 
 grown in Egypt and India. It has an 
 appearance similar to flaxseed and is of 
 a strong musk-like odor. It is used in 
 
892 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 the form of an alcoholic tincture. An 
 oil, called Oil of Ambrette, is obtained 
 from it by distillation. 
 
 A number of resinous substances are 
 used in perfumery such as benzoin, 
 storax, myrrh, tolu, and Peru balsam. 
 Only the best kinds should of course be 
 employed. Benzoin and myrrh should 
 be used in the whole form, which is to 
 be reduced to coarse powder as re- 
 quired; the commercial fine powder is 
 unfit for any purpose whatever. The 
 variety of benzoin known as Siam is the 
 kind that should receive preference. In 
 handkerchief perfumes and toilet waters 
 these resinous substances are used in the 
 form of alcoholic tinctures. In the dry 
 form they are used in sachet powders 
 and other solid perfumes. 
 
 Orris Root is a very important sub- 
 stance used in perfumery products. 
 There are two principal kinds, Floren- 
 tine and Verona, the former being pre- 
 ferred. It is generally employed in the 
 granulated form or about No. 40 pow- 
 der for sachet powders, which form is 
 also suitable for making tinctures to use 
 in handkerchief perfumes and toilet 
 powders. 
 
 Tonka and vanilla beans are also used 
 in perfumes in the form of a tincture. 
 As usual, only the best kinds should be 
 employed. Other solid substances, such 
 as lavender flowers, cloves, orange peel, 
 etc., are used mostly in making sachet 
 powders and will be referred to under 
 this latter heading. 
 
 COLORS FOR PERFUMERY. 
 
 In perfumes the appearance next to 
 the odor plays an important part, and 
 hence it is essential to tint this class of 
 articles properly. Any accidental color 
 present is an obstacle as it would cause 
 stains on the fabrics upon which they 
 are used. Hence the aim is to obtain 
 perfumes either colorless or at the most 
 of a very pale tint, pale green, for exam- 
 ple, being common, the latter being of 
 such a character that it disappears on 
 
 drying. Essence of cassie and violet 
 possess this color and in many cases one 
 of these essences is added to perfumes 
 with the view of imparting this desirable 
 color. Sometimes a small amount of an 
 aniline dye is used, but this may be ob- 
 jectionable either because of leaving a 
 stain on the fabric or because of fading 
 out on exposure of the perfume to light. 
 The most usually employed green color 
 is chlorophyll, using the so-called alco- 
 hol-soluble kind. Very little of this is 
 required and it is resistant to light. A 
 mixture of potassium chromate and cop- 
 per sulfate is said to make a satisfactory 
 tint which is very resistant to light. An 
 acceptable green coloring agent for 
 w T hite rose extract is a tincture of pat- 
 chouly made in the proportion of 1 part 
 of the leaves to 4 parts of alcohol. 
 
 Most perfume mixtures are of a pale 
 brownish tint, especially if they contain 
 resinous bodies like benzoin, storax and 
 Peru balsam, but if a somewhat darker 
 brown shade is demanded it may be im- 
 parted by means of rhatany root or the 
 tincture. Red saunders gives a reddish 
 brown color. 
 
 A red color may be imparted by means 
 of carmine in solution, using the solu- 
 tion of carmine of the National For- 
 mulary. Only a very small amount is 
 required. Or use Cochineal Color of 
 the N. F. or a hydroalcoholic tincture of 
 cochineal. 
 
 A yellow color may be imparted by 
 means of saffron or curcuma, only small 
 amounts being required. Essence of 
 jonquille also imparts a yellow tint and 
 may be added to perfume mixtures to 
 obtain this shade. 
 
 As stated, however, the perfume is 
 commonly allowed to retain its natural 
 color which is usually a pale brown or it 
 is colored greenish, and only very small 
 amounts of tinting material should be 
 used to avoid staining the handkerchief 
 or dress upon which the perfume is 
 used. 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 893 
 
 COMPOSING OF PERFUMES. 
 
 Despite the manufacture of the num 
 erous modern perfume products of the 
 chemist's laboratory, the natural odors 
 of the flower garden are still the requi- 
 sites in the making of fine perfumes. 
 
 The eight fundamental odors, accord- 
 ing to an authority, are Rose, Violet, 
 Tuberose, Jasmine, Cassie, Migonette, 
 Jonquille and Orange Flowers. 
 
 This does not exhaust the list of 
 flower odors nor does it take account of 
 other natural odors derived from leaves, 
 roots, woods, etc., nor of those synthetic 
 odors which are not imitative of flower 
 odors. 
 
 With these basic odors it is claimed 
 to be possible to produce the long list of 
 standard perfumes by varying the pro- 
 portions and adding other modifying in- 
 gredients, the necessary balsamic, fruit 
 or spice odors, to impart the individual 
 characteristics. These basic odors con- 
 sist either of pomade washings or of 
 essential oils, or possibly of both, but 
 they are now frequently replaced, in 
 part only as a rule, by the corresponding 
 synthetic compounds or mixtures. The 
 synthetic perfume products have the 
 fault of "thinness," that is, are lacking 
 in "body," so that it is impossible to use 
 them alone in building up or composing 
 a fine perfume. 
 
 It seems a singular fact that it is im- 
 possible to produce satisfactory flower 
 odors by simply extracting the flowers 
 themselves. 
 
 The pomade washings or essential oils 
 derived from these flowers are, like the 
 synthetic perfumes, lacking in "body" 
 and need fortification. The natural prod- 
 ucts and the synthetics are now usually 
 employed in conjunction, each one im- 
 parting strength and stability to the 
 other. 
 
 Flower odors like the rose and violet 
 are made from the oils or pomade wash- 
 ings of these flowers but there are other 
 flowers, such as lilac, crabapple, and 
 heliotrope, of which there are no corre- 
 
 spending oils or pomade washings and 
 the odors must be made or imitated by 
 mixing various oils, pomade washings 
 and synthetics. Very excellent imita- 
 tions indeed have been worked up by 
 skillful perfumers. 
 
 There are also many perfumes man- 
 ufactured which have no counterpart in 
 the flower garden, orchard or spice 
 grove, but are nevertheless pleasing 
 combinations and have achieved great 
 popularity. Such are Jockey Club, Mille- 
 fleurs, Frangipanni, Mousseline, "Ocean 
 Spray," "Upper Ten," "West End," etc. 
 These mixtures are in perfumers' parl- 
 ance designated as "bouquets." Many 
 of the most popular and expensive per- 
 fumes of the present time are bouquet 
 odors. It would not be possible to make 
 the vast array of these new and exqui- 
 site creations without the numerous syn- 
 thetic perfume products. 
 
 A really elegant perfume should have 
 the properties of agreeability, intensity 
 and persistency. 
 
 Agreeability is secured by judicious 
 combination of ingredients, such as mix- 
 ing substances that fortify each other or 
 that are complementary to each other, 
 or modifying excessively sweet odors 
 with aromatics, or toning down aromatic 
 odors with sweet ones. 
 
 Intensity is secured by not adding too 
 great a proportion of the vehicles, alco- 
 hol and water, also by fortification of 
 the "weaker" or "thinner" odors with 
 stronger ones. 
 
 Persistency is usually imparted by 
 adding small amounts of certain sub- 
 stances of a strong odor, known as fixa- 
 teurs or "fixing agents" which hold or 
 "fix" the perfume when exposed on a 
 handkerchief. Intensity is secured by 
 about the same agents as impart per- 
 sistency, musk and civet among animal 
 substances, artificial musk among syn- 
 thetics, and oils of patchouli and santal 
 and balsamic tinctures among vegetable 
 products. 
 
 A satisfactory rose perfume, for ex- 
 ample, cannot be obtained by dissolving

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 oil of rose in alcohol or by washing 
 rose pomade. The perfume would lack 
 intensity and persistency; fortification 
 with other agents is necessary to secure 
 these, and these agents, judiciously se- 
 lected and sparingly added, modify the 
 odor so as to produce the different 
 shades of rose odor which are so famil- 
 iar to us. 
 
 In the case of artificial odors, or 
 "bouquets," an agreeable perfume is 
 made by blending the constituents in 
 such a manner that no special odor is 
 recognized. There should be sweetness 
 and agreeability but not oppressiveness.

 one as showing the relationship between

 blend, after which it may be filtered. 
 
 If the ingredients of handkerchief ex- 
 tracts be classified according to their 
 function, the classification would be as 
 follows: (i) Odorous agents; (2) fix- 
 ing agents, and (3) vehicle. 
 
 The essential odorous agents are the 
 essences, spirits or oils, and chemical 
 substances. 
 
 The "fixing" agents consist of the 
 musk, ambergris, civet, resins, orris, oils 
 of ylang ylang and patchouli, etc. The 
 distinction between the first and second 
 classes is not sharply drawn, for the 
 reason that some of the "fixing" agents 
 are used for their odor as well as 
 for their "fixing" properties. The third

 HANDKERCHIEF EXTRACTS. 
 (General Remarks.) 
 
 Handkerchief extracts, or "extracts," 
 as they are more commonly termed, are 
 produced by incorporating with alcohol 
 one or more essences (see definition of 
 term below), one or more spirits (alco- 
 holic solutions of volatile oil) or possi- 
 bly the oils themselves, and a tincture of 
 some of the animal or resinous sub- 
 stances mentioned above. Most gener- 
 ally now other ingredients are added, 
 such as one of the synthetic perfumes, 
 which really takes the place of the vola- 
 tile oil or spirit. This mixture should 
 be set aside for some time (several 
 
 class practically embraces but one sub- 
 stance, viz., alcohol, although rose and 
 orange flower water are someties added 
 after the alcohol, and may therefore 
 also be considered as vehicles. 
 
 The office of "fixing" agents is chiefly 
 to hold the perfume to, or fix, or fasten 
 it upon, the handkerchief or other 
 fabric to which it is applied, it being 
 understood that the odoriferous mat- 
 ters all being very volatile and exceed- 
 ingly evanescent when exposed to ^the 
 atmosphere. The "fixing" agents also 
 serve to hold or secure the delicate 
 flower odors to the vehicle while the 
 mixture is still present in the container 
 as "extract." These substances there- 
 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 89! 
 
 fore allow the perfume to be exhaled or 
 emitted very slowly, in this wise resem- 
 bling the exhalation of the odor from 
 flowers. 
 
 The "fixing" agents are of five va- 
 rieties, as follows : 
 
 1. Fatty matter derived from pomades 
 during- extraction with alcohol. 
 
 2. Resinous substances, such as Peru 
 balsam, tolu, storax, benzoin, orris, 
 musk-seed, etc., and even myrrh, asa- 
 fetida, etc., have been employed. 
 
 3. Volatile oils of the type like oils 
 of sandalwood, patchouli, ylang ylang, 
 and vetivert. 
 
 4. Animal substances, which include 
 musk, ambergris, and civet. 
 
 5. Synthetics, viz., artificial musk and 
 artificial civet. 
 
 The objection to the first class is that 
 it soon decomposes and imparts a rancid 
 odor to the perfume, hence pains are 
 taken to exclude rather than to retain 
 it. How this may be done is described 
 ander the heading of Essences. 
 
 Milk has been suggested as a "fixing" 
 agent. When used it is to be added, 
 preferably first warmed, in the propor- 
 tion of 1 ounce to a gallon of handker- 
 chief extract. Smaller amounts of milk 
 would be needed when used for weaker 
 perfumes. The butter fat is the con- 
 stituent of milk that acts as the fixa- 
 tive. 
 
 The objection to the resinous class is 
 but an aesthetic one and hence is less 
 serious than in the preceding. The 
 resins impart a high color to the per- 
 fume and when the latter is dropped on 
 a white handkerchief the fabric at once 
 presents a soiled appearance. This is 
 one reason why benzoin is often re- 
 placed by benzoic acid obtained by sub- 
 limation of the resin. Orris does not 
 have the objection of imparting a high 
 color, but the amount of resinous mat- 
 ter is so small that a very concentrated 
 alcoholic tincture must be employed. 
 Of course, all resins are objectionable 
 because of their own odor, which may 
 perceptibly modify the other odors, and 
 
 this is sufficient reason why different 
 resins are selected for different per- 
 fumes. 
 
 The volatile oils used as fixing agents 
 are of the kind having a "heavy," in- 
 stead of a sweet or aromatic odor. They 
 are used in small amounts only. 
 
 The animal class of "fixing" agents is 
 remarkable in that but trifling amounts 
 will serve the purpose, and hence they 
 are the most largely employed. The 
 one objection to their use is their pro- 
 nounced and very persistent odor, which 
 is likely to remain after the other odor- 
 ous substances have dissipated. 
 
 The most modern "fixing" agents 
 are of course artificial musk and arti- 
 ficial civet, the former being quite 
 largely used. These substances have 
 the advantage of being colorless, en- 
 tirely soluble and of uniform compo- 
 sition. 
 
 A convenient and popular, though in- 
 definite, classification of "extracts" is 
 into "delicate odors" and "heavy odors," 
 the former including such as violet, 
 heliotrope, lilac, etc., the latter musk, 
 jockey club, etc. 
 PRESERVATION OF PERFUMES. 
 
 All perfumes, but particularly the "ex- 
 tracts," containing, as they do, readily 
 decomposable essential oils, should be 
 properly cared for if they are to retain 
 their pristine freshness of odor and 
 of color. The most damaging agent is 
 light, especially strong sunlight, caus- 
 ing some colors to fade, others to dark- 
 en, and modifying or destroying odors. 
 
 The stock of perfumery should there- 
 fore be displayed rather at the rear 
 half of the store instead of in front 
 where the sun's rays may have ready 
 access to it. Owing to the deleterious 
 effects of strong light, manufacturing 
 perfumers use large labels on their bot- 
 tles and some even go so far as to have 
 a closely adherent wrapper for the bot- 
 tle, the label being on the outside of 
 this^ wrapper. 
 
 The room for the storing and the 
 location of the display of perfumes 
 
896 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 should be of a moderate and also of 
 a fairly even temperature, not subject at 
 least to extremes of cold and heat. The 
 former is liable to cause temporary 
 separation of essential oils and other 
 ingredients, from the alcoholic solution, 
 the latter hastens oxidation and pro- 
 duces permanent injury. This is another 
 reason for displaying perfumes away 
 from the front part of the store where 
 the heat of the sun's rays may reach 
 them. Locations near heaters or regis- 
 ters should also be avoided. 
 
 Excessive exposure - to air is also 
 prejudicial to perfumes. For this rea- 
 son, they should be displayed in bottles 
 no larger than 8 ounce which should 
 be well-stoppered, preferably with a 
 glass stopper. It may even be advisable 
 to have a number of small bottles in a 
 display rack to avoid using the larger 
 bottles except in cases of a sale. 
 
 Resinous and oily portions of per- 
 fumes prone to collect on the lips of the 
 bottles and on adjacent portions of the 
 stoppers, and these portions oxidize 
 through contact with the air, and in 
 this wise, patrons may get an erroneous 
 impression of the odor. The lips and 
 stoppers of bottles should therefore be 
 cleaned frequently, wiping with a little 
 alcohol on a cloth if necessary. 
 
 DISPLAYING OF PERFUMES. 
 
 From what has been stated in previous 
 paragraphs it may be gathered that in 
 choosing a location in- the store for 
 the effective display of perfumes, more 
 than appearance must be had in mind. 
 While the goods should be effectively 
 and tastily displayed, they should not 
 be subjected to excessive light nor to 
 extremes of temperature. 
 
 The number of odors carried in stock 
 should not be too great but of course 
 sufficiently varied to suit all tastes. 
 Sometimes it may be necessary to carry 
 cheaper as well as higher-priced odors 
 of the same kind to meet the limitations 
 of some purses. 
 
 A common practice in showing these 
 goods to prospective customers is to re- 
 move the stopper from the stock bot- 
 tle, and allow the customer to smell di- 
 rectly from the latter. The vehicle al- 
 cohol being more volatile than the oils 
 and other ingredients which form the 
 real perfume, obtrudes itself upon th? 
 olfactory nerves and crowds away, as 
 it were, the more delicate odors. The 
 proper method of showing the "ex- 
 tracts" and indicating the differences 
 between them is to wet the stopper 
 by inverting the bottle, then to moisten 
 a strip of blotting paper or a piece of 
 rice (cigarette) paper, allowing the lat- 
 ter to become almost dry before handing 
 to the patron. 
 
 Another good suggestion is to have 
 a small sample rack of perfumes con- 
 taining a number of glass-stoppered half 
 or one ounce bottles; this will enable 
 the pharmacist to keep the stock bottles 
 in a dark place to be opened only when 
 an "extract" is to be dispensed. The 
 sample rack may also be kept in a dark 
 place when not in use. If the glass stop- 
 pers of the bottles of the rack are of 
 the elongated kind, so as to reach to 
 the bottom of the bottle, the tissue or 
 rice paper may be dispensed with. 
 
 In showing "extracts," for purposes 
 of sale, the order in which they are 
 shown is also a matter of consequence, 
 especially when the prospective customer 
 does not have any preferences. The 
 finest, most delicate odors should always 
 be shown first ; if the heavy odors be 
 presented first, the olfactory nerves will 
 have become so impressed with the lat- 
 ter that the delicate odors which are 
 shown subsequently will appear to be 
 decidedly lacking in quality, and thus 
 a sale may be lost. 
 
 The sale of "mixed odors," that is, a 
 mixture of two or more "extracts," 
 should be discouraged because each "ex- 
 tract" is a harmonized blending of odors, 
 and mixing "extracts" is liable to de- 
 stroy this harmony. However, this mat- 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 89' 
 
 ter may not be of such great conse- 
 quence, because those that ask for 
 "mixed odors" do not properly appre- 
 ciate the value of a well-made "ex- 
 tract." 
 ESSENCES. 
 
 Essences (extracts, extraits and es- 
 prits, they are also termed) are pre- 
 pared, as already stated, by extraction of 
 the odorous substances from pomades 
 by means of alcohol, this process be- 
 ing known generally as "washing." The 
 best method of washing is as follows : 
 
 Sixteen av. ounces of the pomade, us- 
 ing a No. 24 or 30, are cut into small 
 pieces and placed in a bottle of sufficient 
 capacity, such as a fruit jar, in which 
 is put 16 fluidounces of pure alcohol. 
 Place the bottle, suitably stoppered, in 
 a water bath, and apply heat sufficient 
 to barely melt the pomade, shake well 
 together, and repeat the shaking fre- 
 quently until the fatty matter solidifies. 
 In this way the pomade will be reduced 
 to a finely divided or granular state, 
 permeated thoroughly by the alcohol. 
 Allow this to stand for a week — a month 
 or even longer would be better — giv- 
 ing it an occasional shake, then drain 
 off the liquid into another bottle ; if this 
 fall short of 16 fluidounces, repeat the 
 operation with a sufficient quantity of 
 alcohol to make up to this measure. To 
 remove the fatty matter this liquid 
 should be placed on ice till well chilled 
 after which it is strained. 
 
 By subsequent and similar treatment, 
 a second and even a third quantitv of 
 essence may be made, which, although 
 much weaker, will be found useful in 
 the preparation of colognes and toilet 
 waters. Some operators use the third 
 essence for washing a new quantity of 
 original pomade, thus making a stronger 
 essence or enabling one to use a weaker 
 pomade. The residual pomade may be 
 utilized for making hair pomades or as 
 a diluent for ointments, or for mak- 
 ing fine soaps (by manufacturers). 
 
 Essences prepared by the above 
 method contain some fatty matter and . 
 
 will soon become rancid. This retained 
 fatty matter can be separated by the ap- 
 plication of cold, and in order that it 
 may be adopted in preference to the pre- 
 ceding one: Into an ice cream freezer 
 of a size commensurate with the quan- 
 tity of essence to be prepared, pour 
 the requisite quantity of alcohol, then 
 heat the pomade cautiously upon a 
 water bath until melted, pour this into 
 the freezer, put on the cover, set the 
 apparatus in motion and continue the 
 heating for 15 or 20 minutes, by which 
 time probably all the odorous matter 
 will have been extracted. Now sur- 
 round the can with a freezing mixture, 
 composed of ground rock salt and 
 cracked ice, resume the beating until 
 the liquid is thoroughly chilled and 
 the fat has all adhered to the paddle and 
 the sides of the can. Then open the 
 freezer, pour off the liquid, and pass 
 through a well-covered filter to separate 
 the particles of fat still suspended in 
 the liquid. 
 
 As already stated, the essence used 
 are rose, jonquille, cassie, reseda, jas- 
 mine, violet, tuberose, and orange flower. 
 Formerly the washings of the pomades 
 of these flowers were considered in- 
 dispensable for the making of fine per- 
 fumes, but at the present time the prac- 
 tical manufacturer is quite likely to 
 replace them with alcoholic solutions of 
 the concrete oils. 
 
 The full strength oils must be used, 
 not any dilutions with wax or solutions 
 in alcohol. The proportions used are 
 one ounce of oil to one gallon of alco- 
 hol. The oil should be first triturated 
 with a small amount of alcohol, to break 
 up the lumps then the remainder of 
 the alcohol added, the whole set aside 
 for 24 hours, during which it should 
 be frequently agitated, and finally fil- 
 tered. This has about the same strength 
 as a first pomade washing and may 
 be used in place of the latter. The resi- 
 due on the filter may, like the pomades, 
 be subjected to a second and even a 
 third washing. 
 
898 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 The advantage of using these oil solu- 
 tions are many. The pomade washings 
 can never be entirely freed from fatty 
 matter and there is a great deal of tedi- 
 ous manipulation to thoroughly extract 
 the pomade, as well as considerable loss 
 of alcohol during manipulation. 
 
 SPIRITS. 
 
 The formula here given are for those 
 spirits which are used in the making 
 of perfumes mentioned in this work. 
 Only the very best quality of oil should 
 be used and only the best obtainable al- 
 cohol. A full description of the oils will 
 he found under the heading Essential 
 Oils. It is said that the longer these 
 spirits are allowed to stand, i. e., the 
 older they are, the better they are adapt- 
 ed for perfumery purposes.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 HANDKERCHIEF EXTRACTS 
 
 (Formulas). 
 
 It is quite essential that the amateur 
 manufacturer of "extracts" very care- 
 fully peruse the preceding pages to in- 
 form himself upon the varieties of ma- 
 terials used in perfumes, the method 
 of preservation, etc. 
 
 It may be stated that the "extracts" 
 can be cheapened by the use of weaker 
 pomades or inferior oils, or of a tinc- 
 ture of musk of one-half the strength 
 given, by the substitution of civet for 
 the ambergris, by the addition of larger 
 proportions of alcohol and of some wa- 
 ter, etc.

 THE STANDARD 
 
 FORMULARY 
 
 TOILET WATERS (Perfumed 
 Waters). 
 
 Toilet waters differ from handker- 
 chief extracts in being much weaker ; 
 frequently they also contain water (in 
 small proportion) which it is usually 
 impossible to add to handkerchief ex- 
 tracts without precipitating some of the 
 constituents. These waters are also 
 cheaper than the "extracts" and. are 
 intended to be used freely, as in the 
 bath, for spraying or sprinkling about 
 in a room, for barber's use, etc. They 
 are usually named after the predomin- 
 ating ingredient, viz., lavender water, 
 violet water, etc. 
 
 The most popular of the toilet waters 
 are Cologne Water, Florida Water, Vio- 
 let Water, and Bay Rum. 
 
 The essences, spirits and tinctures 
 used fjor these preparations are the 
 same as those used for making handker- 
 chief extracts. After making these prep- 
 arations, they should be put away for 
 several weeks to allow "ripening" or 
 blending of odors, after which they 
 may be filtered. 
 
 Besides the waters mentioned herein 
 and for which formulas are given, other 
 waters may be made by suitably dilut- 
 ing the corresponding extract with al- 
 cohol, then adding water until the mix- 
 ture becomes milky, and filtering clear 
 through talcum or calcium phosphate. 
 
 adapt itself to the contour of the neck 
 and stopper. The split skin should be 
 merely moistened, not soaked, as soak- 
 ing makes it lose its nice appearance. 
 Gold-beater's skin ma}', however, be 
 wetted quite thoroughly. Then draw 
 the skin taut and very smooth over the 
 stopper and over the mouth of the bot- 
 tle and tie it snugly just below the lips 
 with a piece of fine, strong cord. The 
 excess of skin is then to be cut off close 
 with a sharp knife. Some prefer to cut 
 the skin off with scissors, leaving a 
 slight excess beyond the cord of 1/8 to 
 1/16 inch. Then loop a narrow ribbon 
 of nice color first around the base of 
 the stopper and then around the neck 
 of the bottle and tie the ends in a nice 
 bow. Instead of ribbon, fancy silk cord 
 may be used, this to be tied in a knot, 
 allowing the ends to project a quarter 
 inch or so. These ends should be 
 combed out tassel-like. Very frequently, 
 especially if the stopper is of a fancy 
 design, a piece of narrow split skin is 
 wound once around the base of the stop- 
 per and the lips of the bottle, cutting 
 off the excess as before. Then finish 
 with a piece of ribbon or silk cord. 
 
 Cologne Water (Eau de Cologne). 
 
 Cologne water, or "cologne" as it is 
 so frequently denominated, is really a 
 toilet water but the public frequently 
 
 For example, heliotrope or frangipanni j make it serve as an "extract." Cologne 
 
 water may be made by diluting helio- 
 trope 'or frangipanni extract as de- 
 scribed. These waters are frequently but 
 improperly called colognes (heliotrope 
 cologne, lilac cologne, violet cologne, 
 etc.). 
 
 It is customary to "finish off" bottles 
 of toilet water by capping the stoppers. 
 This is done with either split skin or 
 gold-beater's skin, as they are termed. 
 These should be cut into strips slightly 
 wider than the distance from one side 
 of the neck of the bottle to the other 
 side, measuring over the top of the 
 stopper. Just before using moisten the 
 skin to make it pliable and more readily 
 
 water was first introduced to public no- 
 tice in the 18th century by Johan Maria 
 Farina of the city of Cologne, Germany, 
 whence its name, "Farina" cologne 
 water in sealed bottles is still an article 
 of commerce. The original has been 
 imitated by almost every professional 
 and amateur perfumer but seemingly 
 without success. 
 
 The primary or essential constituent 
 of cologne water is oil of orange flow- 
 ers to which are added other citrine oils 
 (orange, lemon, bergamot, cedrat). 
 Some of the imitations are made with- 
 out oil of* neroli and may have a va- 
 riety of other ingredients such as musk 
 
PERFUMES.

 and clove. The original cologne water 
 is made by distillation. 
 
 As in the case of other perfumes, su- 
 perior ingredients will make a first-class 
 product, inferior ingredients a poor 
 product. 
 
 Cologne water should not be used 
 when freshly made, but should be aged 
 by storing it away in sealed vessels 
 in a dark place for several months, or 
 a year if possible. After being com- 
 pleted it should be preserved in well 
 stoppered bottles, away from strong 
 light and heat. 
 
 The essences, spirits, and tinctures 
 used in the formulas below are the same 
 as those employed in making handker- 
 chief extracts, which see. 
 
 Cologne waters are known by various 
 fanciful appellations such as Newport 
 Cologne, Opera Cologne, German Co- 
 logne, Lafayette Cologne, Farina 
 Cologne, Victoria Cologne, Superior 
 Cologne, Imperial Cologne, Oriental 
 Cologne, Royal Cologne, etc.

 Dissolve the oils and ether in the al- 
 cohol, add the water, set the mixture 
 aside, in a well-closed vessel for 8 days, 
 then filter in a well-covered funnel. 
 
 This formula is inserted not because 
 it is especially good but because it was 
 recognized in the U. S. P. 1880 under 
 the names Spiritus Odoratus, Perfumed 
 Spirit, and Cologne Water. It is now 
 mentioned in the N. F. Appendix.

 III. The following formula was 
 awarded a prize about 20 years ago in 
 London as furnishing the best cologne 
 water among 219 samples submitted : 
 
 Oil of bergamot fl.dr. 2 
 
 Oil of lemon fl.dr. 1 
 
 Oil of neroli drops 20 
 
 Oil of rosemary drops 20 
 
 Oil of origanum, true drops 6

 Orange flower water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Dissolve the oils in the alcohol and 
 add the water. 
 
 IV. This formula won a medal about 
 20 years ago at a Sydney Exhibition :

 This seems to be very weak in oils 
 but the author claims that other co- 
 lognes contain too great a proportion of 
 oils. 
 
 Cologne Water With Musk. 
 A toilet water with musk is not a 
 true cologne water because -the original 
 does not contain this ingredient. How- 
 ever so many formulas do contain musk 
 that the best ones have been selected 
 and are given here:

 Florida Water. 
 This is a toilet water of American 
 origin, but it is now made and used 
 in England, Germany, Japan, and other 
 parts of the world. It is essentially a 
 mixture of citrine oils with lavender 
 to which are added spice oils such as 
 clove, cinnamon, mace and spearmint. 
 Benzoin is the preferred fixative. This 
 ia sometimes replaced by Peru balsam 
 or storax. Musk and similar substances 
 do not belong in this perfume but some 
 formulas do contain it. 
 
 Any of the following preparations 
 may be cheapened by adding water till 
 the mixture becomes slightly but per- 
 manently turbid, then filtering through 
 calcium phosphate or talcum until clear. 
 As in the case of cologne water, Flor- 
 ida water improves with are. It should 
 be allowed to stand for several months 
 •or even a year before it is used.

 This is an article of similar character 
 to those previously mentioned but hav- 
 ing, or at least it should have, the violet 
 odor predominant. Instead of the wash- 
 ings of violet pomade, it is made with 
 oil of orris or ionone. It is usually ex- 
 pected to be a green color. This may 
 be imparted by a trace of chlorophyll. 
 Like all liquid perfumes, violet water 
 should be stored away for some time to 
 allow the odor to develop; this is espe- 
 cially true if it contains ionone.

 Eau vegetals are the same as toilet

 lilac or violet water toilet containing 
 5% of glycerin. The vegetals are largely 
 used by barbers. 
 
 BAY RUM (Spirit of Myrcia). 
 
 This is also a toilet water the dis- 
 tinctive odor of which is oil of bay 
 leaves. The original" "bay rum" was 
 made by distilling bay leaves with rum, 
 and was obtained from different West 
 India islands where the bayberry tree 
 is indigenous. Instead of the distilled 
 product it is customary to make a solu- 
 tion of oil of bay in alcohol, modifying 
 the odor by such additions as rum and 
 various essential oils. Water is added 
 for cheapening purposes and the mix- 
 ture is finally colored yellowish or yel- 
 lowish-green by the addition of borax, 
 ammonia, or other alkalies, saffron, bay 
 leaves, etc. 
 
 Regarding the composition of artificial 
 bay rum, there are almost as many for- 
 mulas as there are manufacturers, the 
 variation extending to the proportion of 
 oil of bay and alcohol, the kind and 
 number of modifying constituents and 
 the coloring agent. This preparation 
 was recognized by the U. S. P., 1890.

 TOILET AROMATIC VINEGARS 
 (Acetic Perfumes). 
 
 These preparations consist of fragrant 
 essential oils and balsams and other 
 pleasantly odorous substances combined 
 with alcohol and acetic acid. The 
 amount of fragrant substances used 
 should not be so large as to disguise 
 the odor of the acid. The acetic acid 
 adds a refreshing quality to these per- 
 fumes which is absent from the toilet 
 waters. These preparations were origin- 
 ally employed as a prophylactic against 
 infectious diseases for which purpose 
 they were of course entirely ineffective. 
 Later on account of their pungent and 
 reviving odor they were used in the 
 form of a small saturated sponge con- 
 tained in ladies' vinaigrettes which are 
 now generally supplanted by the am- 
 moniated "smelling salts" bottles. If 
 wanted for vinaigrettes, these prepara- 
 tions should be made quite strong with 
 acetic acid and the fragrant substances. 
 Now they are employed for washing in 
 baths or hand basins and are sprinkled 
 about sick rooms to impart a pleasant 
 fragrance. They are also applied to the 
 forehead for headache and fainting 
 spells. 
 
 Good vinegar or a pure form of acetic 
 acid may be used for these perfumes. 
 If either of these possess anything of 
 an empyreumatic odor, they are unfit 
 for use. 
 
 The6e preparations may be known 
 simply as toilet or aromatic vinegar, or 
 as lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, CO 
 logne, witch hazel, cosmetic, floral, anti- 
 septic., hygienic, preventive, etc., vine-

 SICK-ROOM PERFUMES. 
 
 These perfumes consist of a volatile 
 disinfectant dissolved in a toilet water 
 and their purpose is to combine the two 
 desirable properties of disinfection and 
 fragrance. An excellent preparation of 
 this kind is that mentioned under Anti- 
 septic Cologne, which see. Any toilet 
 water may be used, to which has been 
 added suitable disinfectants. For this 
 purpose an oil of pine or fir and bornyl 
 acetate may be added to a toilet water; 
 or a mixture of eucalyptus oil or euca- 
 lyptol and formaldehyde, or of eucalyp- 
 tus oil and chinosol may be used. This 
 water should be sprayed about the room 
 with an atomizer or cloths wetted with 
 the liquid may be suspended in the room.

 SOLID OR DRY PERFUMES. 
 
 Perfumes in the dry condition are less 
 popular than liquid perfumes in spire of 
 
 the fact that they are of very ancient use 
 whereas the liquids are quite modern 
 products. The oldest civilized peoples, 
 such as the Egyptians, Babylonians, As- 
 syrians, Persians and Jews, used dried 
 leaves, dried flowers, barks, woods, gum- 
 resins, etc., as perfumes and incense. 
 
 There have been no especial modern 
 improvements in the manufacture of 
 dry perfumes whereas the liquids are 
 constantly undergoing improvement and 
 new combinations of odors are being 
 produced. 
 
 Among the dry perfumes are sachet 
 powders which are in fine powder, pot 
 pourris in coarse powder, and tablet per- 
 fumes. 
 SACHET POWDERS. 
 
 Sachet powders are either in fine pow- 
 der or in a coarse (about No. 40) pow- 
 der. The former is known in the trade 
 as the powder, the latter as the granu- 
 lar form. Sachet powders have been 
 devised to represent in a fair degree all 
 the popular odors but the mixtures soon 
 lose their freshness even if kept in well- 
 stoppered bottles. However, a good sa- 
 chet powder is a very useful and dainty 
 form of perfume as it may be enclosed 
 in fancy little bags (called sachets, 
 whence the name) and put with the 
 linen in bureau drawers, in clothes clos- 
 ets, in handkerchief, glove and jewel 
 boxes, in writing cabinets, and the vari- 
 ous articles of clothing and stationery 
 will for a long time diffuse a delicate 
 fragrance which is really more agreeable 
 and delightful but yet less insistent or 
 pronounced than that imparted by the 
 "extracts." Sachet powders never cause 
 the user to seem "loud" or vulgar as do 
 most of the "extracts" unless the latter 
 are used very sparingly. 
 
 Sachet powders are composed, of such 
 substances as orris root, sandalwood, 
 rose petals, vanilla and tonka beans, lav- 
 ender flowers, vetivert, orange peel, ben- 
 zoin, musk, civet, etc., to which are add- 
 ed vanillin, cumarin and various fra- 
 grant essential oils and liquid synthetic 
 perfumes. Such substances as vanilla 
 
920 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 and tonka may be cut up and then 
 bruised in a mortar with granulated 
 orris root until reduced to a suitable 
 condition. Musk and civet should be 
 triturated with orris root to a proper 
 condition before adding to the other in- 
 gredients. Benzoin may be reduced to 
 the correct degree of fineness in a mor- 
 tar. Lavender flowers, rose petals and 
 some other substances may be ground 
 sufficiently fine in a drug mill. Other 
 solid substances may be reduced to a 
 sufficiently fine condition by means which 
 should readily suggest themselves to the 
 competent pharmacist. After all the 
 solid materials have been reduced to a 
 proper state of division, the liquid in- 
 gredients should be added and thorough- 
 ly incorporated. 
 
 Another way to make sachet powders 
 in the granular form as may be noticed 
 by those who have had occasion to ob- 
 serve the products of perfume houses is 
 to make a body or vehicle of orris root 
 in about No. 40 powder. This is col- 
 ored with alcoholic solutions of aniline 
 dyes, allowing to dry, mixing various 
 colors together and adding some uncol- 
 ored root by way of variety, and finally 
 perfuming. The perfume is to consist 
 of the oils, tinctures, etc., used for mak- 
 ing handkerchief extracts (see Hand- 
 kerchief Extract Formulas), omitting 
 the alcohol from the latter. In this way 
 sachet powders of good appearance and 
 odor may readily be made. Not enough 
 odorous material should be added to 
 cause the powder to leave an oily stain. 
 Similarly sachet powders may be fresh- 
 ened from time to time by the addition 
 of a small amount of the corresponding 
 "extract," viz., violet extract to violet 
 sachet powder, etc. 
 
 To obtain good sachet powders the 
 best materials cnly should be employed, 
 as in no other way can a satisfactory 
 product be obtained. All the solids, or- 
 ris, rose petals, orange peel or flowers, 
 vanilla, etc., should be Perfectly fresh 
 and of good quality ; the volatile oils and 
 
 synthetics should be of superior quality 
 as described in previous paragraphs. 
 
 After being mixed, sachet powders 
 should be allowed to stand a few days 
 to permit the odors to blend thoroughly. 
 They should be preserved in rather small 
 (about 4-ounce), well-stoppered bottles, 
 to prevent both evaporation ,and oxida- 
 tion, in location not exoosed to excessive 
 heat or light.

 Tincture of benzoin fl.oz. 3 
 
 The tincture of benzoin for this pur- 
 pose should be made from 2 av. ounces 
 of Siam benzoin and 5 fluidounces of 
 alcohol. 
 
 Then remove the leather from the 
 liquid, allow it to drain, spread it on a 
 glass plate to dry, and coat one side of 
 the leather (the rough side of the kid) 
 with the following mixture, applying the 
 latter by means of a brush :

 Musk gr. 12 
 
 Civet gr. 12 
 
 Gum arabic dr. 6y 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.dr. 5 
 
 Water fl.oz. iy 2 
 
 Rub up the musk and civet thoroughly 
 with the acid and gum, then incorporate 
 the glycerin and water so as to form a 
 smooth mixture. Fold or double the 
 leather over when the two halves will 
 adhere to each other, and allow to dry. 
 This perfumed skin emits its odor for 
 years. It is used instead of sachet bags 
 to place in trunks, drawers, closets, writ- 
 ing desks, glove and handkerchief boxes, 
 etc. Pieces of this skin are also sewed 
 into ladies' clothing and lingerie. 
 GLOVE PERFUME. 
 
 To overcome the unpleasant natural 
 odor of leather, it is suggested to place 
 sachet bags in the glove boxes. Or a 
 regular glove perfuming powder may be 
 used, made of 2 parts each of powdered 
 orris root and magnesium carbonate and 
 1 part of talcum. Five ounces of this 
 powder may be perfumed with a mix- 
 ture of 
 
 Helitropin dr. 3 
 
 Vanillin gr. 100 
 
 Tincture of civet m. 40 
 
 Tincture of Siam benzoin, .fl.dr. 2 l /i 
 
 This makes a heliotrope odor but 
 
 other odors may be made, using the in- 
 
 gredients of handkerchief extracts and 
 omitting the alcohol from the latter. 
 
 This powder is to be sewed into little 
 bags which are to be put inside in the 
 gloves when the latter are not in use and 
 are kept in the glove boxes. 
 
 PERFUME LOZENGES. 
 
 Solid perfumery in the form of loz- 
 enges are quite a novelty. They may be 
 made by taking a suitable mixture of 
 powders, tinting and perfuming it, mak- 
 ing a soft mass or dough with gum and 
 water, rolling out into sheets about J4 or 
 Yz inch thick, cutting into lozenges with 
 a lozenge cutter, and finally drying. 
 These may be carried about in the purse 
 or hand-bag or distributed about in bu- 
 reau drawers, clothes closets, writing 
 desks, etc., like sachet bags. 
 
 For the basis of the lozenges the fol- 
 lowing will be acceptable : 
 
 Starch av.oz. 10 
 
 Magnesium carbonate av.oz. 5 
 
 Orris root, powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Dextrin av.oz. 1 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 20 
 
 Mix well, acid the tinting and perfum- 
 ing materials, then make a soft dough 
 with water and syrup, and roll out and 
 cut as described before. 
 
 The salicylic acid is added for the 
 purpose of preventing mou!I Boric acid 
 may be used instead. 
 
 For the tinting material any suitable 
 aniline dye may be used, first dissolving 
 it in a little alcohol. Pink or pale blue 
 shades make the most attractive appear- 
 ance. 
 
 For perfuming purposes, to each 8 
 ounces, the following proportions of od- 
 orous material may be added;

 POT POURRIS. 
 
 These are mixtures of odorous sub- 
 stances, in rather coarse condition, to be 
 placed in open jars, called pot pourri 
 jars, and intended for scenting rooms. 
 The individual particles should be of 
 about the size of a snlit pea, and such 
 substances as orris, benzoin, etc., should 
 be reduced to this size by appropriate 
 means. Rose petals are the basic ingre- 
 dient, these forming the body or bulk, of 
 the mixture. In making good pot pourri 
 mixtures the best materials are required. 
 
 Extra perfume, such as an "extract," 
 may be added to these pot po^rris if de- 
 sired.

 SMELLING SALTS (Ammoniated 
 Perfumes). 
 
 Under the name of "smelling salts," 
 "inexhaustible salts," "Preston salts" and 
 "pungent" there are moist, granular 
 preparations which are aromatized and 
 give off a fragrant odor in connection 
 with the pungent odor of ammonia. Or- 
 iginally these consisted of sponge cut 
 into fine pieces, contained in a wide- 
 mouthed bottle or a vinaigrette, which 
 was saturated with a mixture of ammo- 
 nia water or spirit of ammonia and fra- 
 grant material. Only sufficient liquid 
 was used to saturate the sponge so that 
 when the vessel was inverted none of it 
 would exude. To make a neat-looking 
 product, the pieces of sponge were to be 
 of uniform size and of a light and uni- 
 form color. 
 
 Nowadays other substances are used 
 for the sponge such as ammonium car- 
 bonate in a coarsely powdered condi- 
 tion. Fine powder should be removed 
 by means of a sieve. There should also 
 be none of the fine powder with which it 
 becomes covered on exposure to the air. 
 Only the translucent pieces should be 
 used as these make the best "salts" and 
 they make a handsome appearance. In- 
 stead of ammonium carbonate, crystal- 
 line potassium sulfate in small pieces is 
 used, it having apparently been found 
 quite satisfactory. Various porous sub- 
 stances will suggest themselves for this 
 purpose, such as small pieces of white 
 pumice stone but this does not give the 
 handsome appearance of the previously 
 mentioned substances. A cheaper article 
 of smelling salts may be made by making 
 a mixture of ammonium chlorid and po- 
 tassium carbonate or lime which slowly 
 evolves ammonia. However, this is not 
 entirely satisfactory and does not make 
 a nice appearance. 
 
 After the bottle has been filled with 
 sponge, ammonium carbonate, potassium 
 
 sulfate or whatever else is used, a small 
 amount of ammonia water or spirit of 
 ammonia mixed with perfume is poured 
 over the contents of the bottle. Spirit 
 of ammonia is to be preferred as its 
 alcoholic character makes it a perfect 
 solvent for the essential oils, pomade 
 essences, synthetics, etc., used for the 
 perfume. Not all perfuming agents are 
 satisfactory for use in smelling salts ; 
 lavender has become popular, while 
 musk, civet and other "strong" odors 
 are usually avoided. 
 
 These preparations are usually dis- 
 pensed in small wide-mouthed bottles 
 which can be well closed; sometimes or- 
 namental glass containers are used but 
 they are valueless for holding these per- 
 fumes unless they can be securely closed 
 with glass stoppers when not in use. 
 
 These "salts" are used by inhalation 
 in the headaches and fainting spells of 
 ladies. They may be "freshened" or 
 strengthened occasionally by adding a 
 small portion of ammonia water, or, bet- 
 terp-of the original mixture of spirit of 
 ammonia and perfume. 
 
 The following are some of the for- 
 mulas that are in use:

 Fill the smelling bottles with crystal- 
 lized potassium sulfate and pour into 
 each bottle as much of the ammonia 
 mixed with the oils as the salt can re- 
 tain without spilling. This makes a 
 much prettier looking smelling salt than 
 ammonium carbonate, and as it does not 
 cake together like it, the bottle need 
 not be emptied when the ammonia has

 evaporated. All that is necessary is to 
 fill it up again with the aromatized am- 
 monia.

 able bottles with small, translucent 
 pieces of ammonium carbonate and add- 
 ing the required amount of a solution of 
 
 1 fluidram of oil of lavender flowers in 
 
 2 fluidounces of spirit of ammonia. If 
 the spirit is not at hand, use a mixture 
 of y 2 ounce of stronger water of am- 
 monia and V/2 of alcohol.

 Add this liquid to the ammonium car- 
 bonate or potassium sulfate in a suitable 
 container. 
 
 Menthol Smelling Salts. 
 
 This may be made by putting coarsely 
 
 powdered ammonium carbonate into a 
 
 suitable container and then adding a 
 
 sufficient amount of menthol in crystals. 
 
 Violet Smelling Salts. 
 
 This may be prepared by placing 
 crushed translucent pieces of ammonium 
 carbonate into a suitable container and 
 adding a sufficient amount of a mixture 
 of violet extract and stronger water or, 
 better, spirit, of ammonia. The liquid 
 may be tinted green with chlorophyll. 
 
 Other odors may be made, such as 
 heliotrope, by using the corresponding 
 oil or extract. 
 
 FUMIGATING PREPAKATIONS. 
 
 These preparations differ from any of 
 the preceding in that their odor is not 
 developed until they are ignited (except 
 the vinegars). They are perhaps the 
 oldest form of perfume if so they may 
 be called. The burning of fragrant sub- 
 stances or "incense" is one of the oldest 
 practices of mankind and was chiefly of 
 a religious or ceremonial character. In 
 the middle ages these substances were 
 used to prevent or drive away disease 
 and to destroy foul odors caused by dis- 
 ease and otherwise. They are still used 
 to overcome bad odors and to act as dis- 
 infectants but they are probably value- 
 less for the latter purpose. Sandalwood, 
 olibanum, myrrh, benzoin, etc., are com- 
 mon ingredients. The odor they pro- 
 duce is balsamic or spicy, not at all of a 
 flowery character. 
 
 The different kinds of fumigating 
 preparations are pastilles, powders, pa- 
 per, essences and vinegars. 
 
 Fumigating Pastilles. 
 
 These are cone-shaped bodies pro- 
 duced by mixing either red saunders or 
 wood charcoal with potassium nitrate, 
 various odorous and odor-producing 
 substances, and mucilage, and making a 
 mass which may be divided and formed 
 
PERFUMES. 
 
 929 
 
 by hand into cones like a rectal supposi- 
 tory, after which they should be dried. 
 Or the cones may be formed by means 
 of a pastille machine. They should be 
 about 54 to i inch long and should have 
 a flat bottom so they will stand up. 
 When used the apex is ignited. 
 
 Red saunders is used for making the 
 red pastilles while wood charcoal pro- 
 duces the black variety. Potassium ni- 
 trate is added to facilitate the burning. 
 
 They are frequently burned in rooms 
 to keep away insects like mosquitoes and 
 flies.

 Fumigating Powder or Species. 
 
 While being similar to the pastilles, 
 fumigating powder is of more variegat- 
 ed composition than the former. It con- 
 tains various woods, barks, and gum 
 resins, besides various colored flowers 
 which impart a handsome appearance. 
 No powdered charcoal is used and fre- 
 quently no potassium nitrate. The for- 
 
 mer detracts from the appearance of 
 the product while the latter is usually 
 considered not necessary. To the pow- 
 der is added a mixture of aromatic oils 
 and tinctures to make it more fragrant. 
 A still finer appearance may be imparted 
 to the powder by adding orris root in 
 about No. 20 to 40 powder which has 
 been tinted various colors with aniline 
 dyes dissolved in alcohol, also adding 
 some uncolored orris root. 
 
 The mixture should be in the form of 
 a coarse powder, free from any fine 
 powder as well as from large coarse 
 pieces. It should be preserved in well- 
 stoppered bottles. 
 
 Fumigating powder is used for the 
 same purposes as fumigating pastilles. 
 In using it, sprinkle it on a hot stove or 
 on live coals.

 COLD CREAMS. 
 
 (Synonyms: Unguentum Leniens, 
 Emolliens or Refrigerans — Ceratum Ga- 
 leni — Creme Celeste.) 
 
 Preparations known as Cold Creams 
 are mixtures of solid fats like white 
 wax, spermaceti, paraffin wax, petrola- 
 tum, wool- fat, with oils like sweet al- 
 mond, olive, castor, cottonseed, benne, 
 lard, paraffin, etc., and water, rose 
 water, glycerin, distilled extract of witch 
 hazel, etc., the whole being suitably per- 
 fumed. In preparing them the solid fat 
 is first melted at a gentle heat, the oil is 
 added, and then the water, glycerin, etc., 
 previously warmed, is thoroughly incor- 
 porated with the fatty mixture, finally 
 adding the perfume. The incorporation 
 of the water or glycerin is by vigorous 
 and continuous heating in a large mor- 
 tar or similar vessel with a pestle, large 
 spatula or paddle or an egg beater. 
 
 If the fatty mixture has not been 
 heated too much and the mixture is 
 well beaten, a beautifully white and 
 smooth ointment results in a few min- 
 utes. 
 
 To greatly facilitate the incorporation 
 of the water or other aqueous liquid, it 
 is now customary to first dissolve in it a 
 small amount of borax. 
 
 "Cold cream" was originally always 
 made .with sweet almond oil and all 
 pharmacopeias recognizing this prepara- 
 tion specify this oil. However, on ac- 
 count of its costliness, it is frequently 
 replaced by cheaper oils, such as cotton- 
 seed, benne, or lard oil. These oils must 
 be of good quality and light color to 
 produce a white "cold cream." 
 
 When made with vegetable or animal 
 oil, "cold cream" does not keep well, it 
 soon becoming rancid and granular. 
 The presence of castor oil is said to im- 
 prove its keeping qualities besides mak- 
 59 
 
 ing a smoother cream and one more 
 quickly combined with the water. This 
 oil should also be nearly odorless and 
 colorless. However, in recent times, 
 mineral oil is used in all "cold creams" 
 intended for cosmetic purposes. This 
 oil is known also as liquid petrolatum, 
 paraffin oil, glycoline, and by many 
 trade-marked names. 
 
 When used for the purpose of making 
 "cold cream" this oil should be entirely 
 odorless and as nearly colorless as it is 
 possible to obtain it. The "cold cream" 
 made with this oil keeps indefinitely 
 without change, is also very cheap, and 
 appears to be entirely satisfactory for 
 cosmetic purposes. 
 
 The most generally used perfume for 
 "cold cream" is rose in the form of oil 
 of rose. This may be either the natural 
 or synthetic product, the latter being 
 equally as satisfactory as the former 
 and costing much less. Other odorous 
 substances are now also used for per- 
 fuming "cold cream" ; combinations of 
 the various synthetics prove very accept- 
 able. Examples of such combinations 
 are given later on. 
 
 "Cold cream" as made by different 
 formulas varies in consistency, and vari- 
 ous degrees of hardness or softness may 
 be obtained by altering^ the proportions 
 of wax, oil and water. Any "cold cream" 
 may be made softer by adding more oil, 
 even after the cream has solidified. A 
 harder cream may be obtained by using 
 a smaller amount of oil. 
 
 Such a preparation receives a name 
 depending on its constitution or aroma. 
 It may be called simply "cold cream": if 
 flavored with bitter almond oil, "almond 
 cold cream"; if it contain cucumber 
 juice, "cucumber cream, pomade, or 
 ointment"; if witch hazel extract, "witch 
 hazel cold cream"; if glycerin, "glycerin 
 cold cream"; if camphor, "camphor cold 
 cream"; lanolin, "lanolin cold cream": 
 salicylic acid, "salicylic or salicylate^ 
 cold cream" ; petrolatum, "petrolatum 
 (or vaselin) cold cream": violet extract 
 or orris, "violet cold cream"; if Peru

 balsam, "sultana cold cream" ; boric acid 
 and glycerin, 'boroglycerin cold cream," 
 etc. If tinted slightly with methyl violet 
 and perfumed with lilac, it may appro- 
 priately be called "lilac cold cream." 
 Cucumber cold cream may properly be 
 tinted pale green with chlorophyll. Oth- 
 er colors may suggest themselves.

 Borax gr. 35 
 
 Reduce the spermaceti and white wax 
 to fine shavings and melt them at a mod- 
 erate heat, and add the oil and stir, con- 
 tinuing the heat until the mixture is 
 uniform; then gradually add the rose 
 water, previously warmed, and in which 
 the borax has been dissolved, stirring 
 the mixture rapidly and continuously un- 
 til it congeals and becomes of uniform 
 consistence. 
 
 This is the U. S. P. formula for 
 "ointment of rose water." The presence 
 of borax is sometimes objectionable, as 
 when this ointment is used as a vehicle 
 for metallic salts (e. g., when combined 
 in ointments for the eyes with mercuric 
 oxid), hence the U. S. P. directs that 
 when used for such purposes the borax 
 should be omitted. 
 
 This ointment is but seldom used for 
 cosmetic purposes. If used as a skin 
 cream it may be aromatized by adding 
 5 drops of oil of rose to the above quan- 
 tity. Or oil of rose geranium may be 
 used, although this is a coarser odor. 
 Other perfumes or fragrant oils or syn- 
 thetics may be added.

 zinc oxid, and mix this with the fatty 
 liquid, stirring vigorously in a mortar 
 until congealed, finally adding the frag- 
 rant oils. The latter may first be dis- 
 solved in 2 fluidrams of alcohol. 
 
 The zinc oxid assists in making a 
 pure white cream and probably adds to 
 its cosmetic properties. 
 
 Cold Creams with Animal Oil. 
 Any of the cold creams made with 
 vegetable or with mineral oil may have 
 the vegetable or mineral oil replaced 
 with lard oil and an equally satisfactory 
 product will be obtained. One of the 
 preceding formulas contain lard and in 
 this respect differ from other formulas.

 Mineral oil, thereby meaning liquid 
 petrolatum or paraffin oil, and known in 
 the trade by a great variety of names 
 (glycoline and mineral glycerin are also 
 used), some of which are trade-marked, 
 has largely supplanted sweet almond and 
 the other cheaper vegetable oils. The 
 product is cheap and of good consistency 
 and appearance, and it keeps indefinitely 
 without spoiling. The only objection to 
 it is a slight bluish fluorescence. The 
 mineral oil used should be entirely odor- 
 less and as free from color and fluor- 
 escence as it is possible to obtain it. A 
 "crystal white" oil is said to be now 
 available. 
 
 Any of the preceding formulas may 
 be used, substituting mineral oil for the 
 vegetable oil. Below are given other 
 formulas which have proved satisfac- 
 tory.

 Dissolve the wax in the oil at a tem- 
 oerature not exceeding 6o° C. In an- 
 other vessel dissolve the borax in the 
 water raised to about the same tem- 
 perature. Pour the aqueous solution in 
 a continuous stream into the fatty liquid, 
 stir the whole for two minutes, and 
 incorporate the volatile oils.

 mersed in it, add the water containing 
 the borax previously dissolved in it 
 and brought to the same temperature, 
 mix all at once, not stirring longer than 
 is necessary to mix, then incorporate the 
 perfume, and pour into containers while 
 yet warm. When cool it will have a 
 smooth, glossy surface.

 in the water, slightly warming the lat- 
 ter. Then add the aqueous liquid to 
 the melted oil and waxes, in a fine 
 stream, stirring constantly with a pad- 
 dle until the mixture becomes smooth. 
 Finally incorporate the perfume, and 
 pour the cream while still semi-fluid into 
 suitable containers. The product will 
 have a smooth, glossy surface.

 Cold Creams Containing Wool-Fat. 
 
 The hydrous wool-fat is to be used 
 in these creams and this should be a 
 first-class product as free as possible 
 from odor and color. The cold cream 
 obtained will, of course, not be white 
 but cream-colored. The presence of 
 wool-fat is said to make the cream 
 more readily absorbed by the skin. It 
 is also added to cold creams containing 
 paraffin or petrolatum to counteract the 
 non-absorbent properties of the latter.

 Cold Creams Without Water. 
 
 A true "cold cream" contains water 
 but nevertheless formulas have been of- 
 fered for such preparations without 
 water to avoid the troublesome incor- 
 poration of the latter. The following is 
 one of them :

 Finally add any desired perfume. 
 
 Cold Creams, Greaseless or Non- 
 Greasy. 
 
 (Absorbent, Vanishing or Disappear- 
 ing Cream — Stearin Jelly — Stearin Cold 
 Cream.) 
 
FACE AND SKIN PREPARATIONS. 
 
 935 
 
 This is a novelty of recent introduc- 
 tion which is not strictly a "cold cream" 
 but is a stearin soap containing consid- 
 erable water and usually some glycerin. 
 The stearic acid used for this purpose 
 is what is commercially known as 
 stearin, a hard, white waxy-like solid 
 of an odor resembling tallow. A fairly 
 good grade of stearin should be used; 
 a chemically pure article is not neces- 
 sary and is too expensive, a cheap grade 
 of a rancid odor is, however, unfit for 
 use. The stearin or stearic acid is heat- 
 ed on a water bath (higher tempera- 
 tures decompose it) with distilled water 
 and glycerin containing an alkaline sub- 
 stance in solution such as borax or 
 potassium or sodium carbonate, when 
 the stearin will combine with the alkali 
 and water to form a real soft solution of 
 stearin soap. The heating requires sev- 
 eral hours, so that distilled water must 
 be added from time to time to the mix- 
 ture to make up for that lost by evapor- 
 ation. 
 
 These creams should be kept in well- 
 closed jars or dispensed in collapsible 
 tubes to prevent evaporation of the 
 water and drying out of the prepara- 
 tion. A certain amount of glycerin 
 is necessary to prevent this drying-out 
 property. A mucilage in place of a 
 portion of the water such as mucilage 
 of quince seed, agar-agar or tragacanth, 
 or glycerite of starch in place of gly- 
 cerin, will also obviate the drying-out 
 property. 
 
 When rubbed on the skin, a cream of 
 this kind appears to be entirely absorbed, 
 hence the names "absorbent, vanishing, 
 or disappearing cream" which are ap- 
 plied to it. This property would also 
 make it serviceable as a "skin food," al- 
 though as a real skin food, a lanolin 
 cream is the ideal article. 
 
 These creams may be perfumed in 
 any desired manner. 
 XVI. Cooban's formula :

 Mix all the ingredients together and 
 heat on a water bath until effervescence 
 ceases. Remove the mixture from the 
 source of heat and stir at intervals until 
 it begins to stiffen, then incorporate the 
 aromatic substances dissolved in the al- 
 cohol. Beat this up with' a paddle or 
 an egg beater. It may be made more 
 fluffy and creamy by reheating and 
 beating it up again. 
 
 Several modifications may be made 
 in this formula. Two av. ounces of 
 cocoa butter may be added during the 
 heating but the product will be slightly 
 greasy. The glycerin may be replaced 
 by glycerite of starch. Also half of the 
 water may be replaced by mucilage of 
 tragacanth, quince seed or agar agar. 
 The mucilage of tragacanth may be 
 made according to the U. S. P. Mucilage 
 of quince seed may be made of the 
 proportion of 1 or 2 drams to the pint 
 of water. Mucilage of agar agar may 
 be made by heating 75 grains of agar 
 agar with 4 fluidounces of water until 
 dissolved, straining forcibly through 
 cheese-cloth, and adding this while still 
 warm to the stearin solution. Of course 
 the perfume may also be varied.

 and a clear solution results. Keep this 
 near the boiling point for at least an 
 hour, stirring frequently, and making up 
 for loss through evaporation by the 
 addition of more water, being careful 
 not to add too much. Now add the 
 witch hazel extract, transfer the whole 
 to a hot mortar, and beat with an egg 
 beater until it becomes of the proper 
 consistency. Allow to stand for 12 
 hours, stir well and transfer to jars that 
 may be well closed, wide-mouthed bot- 
 tles, or collapsible tubes.

 Make into an ointment in the usual 
 manner, taking particular precautions 
 to rub the sulfur and zinc oxid thor- 
 oughly smooth. The mixture may be 
 tinted red with alkanet, the latter being 
 heated with the oil to extract the color- 
 ing matter. Other perfume may also 
 be used instead of the violet extract. 
 
 This is recommended as a skin cream 
 instead of "cold cream." It possesses 
 some medicinal properties and is said 
 to be useful for removing tan and 
 freckles.

 CUCUMBER JUICE OR ESSENCE. 
 
 Take cucumbers in the green state, 
 wash them thoroughly, then slice them 
 with the skin on, into small fragments, 
 place in an earthen or porcelain dish, 
 pour upon them hot water to cover and 
 let simmer for half an hour or more, 
 being careful that the heat is not too 
 high or the water too low so as to 
 scorch. Then strain through a colander 
 or muslin, and add to every pint of the 
 juice four fluidounces of alcohol. Let 
 stand over night and filter to remove 
 precipitated albuminous matter. 
 
 The juice can also be preserved some 
 length of time without the addition of 
 alcohol, by the addition of thirty grains 
 of salicylic acid dissolved in half an 
 ounce of alcohol, or one dram of boric 
 acid and sixty grains of borax dissolved 
 in a pint of the juice, or the addition of 
 one fluidram of solution of formalde- 
 hyde to one pint of the juice. 
 
 This juice or essence is suitable for 
 the preparation of cucumber cream, 
 ointment, salve, or milk, and is added 
 in a similar manner as is rose water 
 in preparing "cold cream."

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 first having been rendered, in a water 
 bath. To the fat, strained into a jar 
 of the capacity of one gallon, when it 
 begins to thicken add one-third of the 
 juice obtained, by grating and express- 
 ing 3 av. pounds of green cucumbers 
 and beat the mixture with a spatula until 
 all of the odor of the cucumber has 
 been absorbed by the fat, which will re- 
 quire several hours. The watery fluid 
 should then be rejected and the remain- 
 ing juice added in two consecutive por- 
 tions, incorporated in the previous man- 
 ner and the watery liquid again rejected. 
 The fat should then be heated in a 
 closed vessel on a water bath for one 
 hour, the albuminous coagulum should 
 be skimmed off, the watery matter 
 should be removed on cooling, the oint- 
 ment should again be melted and then 
 strained. Before use, this fat should be 
 trituated with a little rose water until 
 it is of a creamy character. 
 
 This formula was devised many years 
 ago by Prof. Procter. On account of 
 its complicated nature, the same author- 
 ity devised a somewhat simpler method 
 of procedure, as follows : 
 
 Cucumbers av.lb. I© 
 
 Sweet almond oil av.lb. I 
 
 Grate the cucumbers without paring, 
 on a tinned grater, express the juice, 
 and strain it through a close-woven 
 cloth. Put half the juice into a gallon 
 bottle, add the oil, cork the bottle, and 
 agitate the mixture at short intervals 
 during several hours, let the oil rise 
 to the surface, decant the exhausted 
 juice and replace it by the remainder 
 of the juice, again agitate freely and re- 
 peatedly, allowing 2d hours to elapse be- 
 fore setting it aside to separate. Then 
 decant the exhausted juice and throw 
 it away. Finally separate the oily layer 
 as much as possible from water, and 
 filter it through a pleated filter which 
 has previously been dipped in sweet al- 
 mond oil and allowed to drain. A clear, 
 bright, oily filtrate is obtained except 
 towards the last when some water be- 
 gins to come through. All moisture 
 
 must be separated to prevent change 
 in the oil which may be known as "cu- 
 cumber oil." It has a decided odor of 
 cucumber, and is used for preparing 
 cucumber ointment according to for- 
 mulas II and III.

 MASSAGE CREAMS, Casein or 
 Rolling. 
 
 Massage creams are of two varieties, 
 those that "roll up" on the skin and the 
 greasy kind. The latter will be treated 
 in the next article. The former is made 
 with casein as a basis. This is mixed 
 with glycerin, oil, or wool-fat to give 
 it softness, with an antiseptic agent to 
 preserve it, and is usually colored pink. 
 The glycerin also prevents drying out. 
 The casein for this purpose may be 
 purchased in the dr* condition in the 
 market, or it may be precipitated from 
 milk by means of an acid, alum or ren- 
 net. Preferably skimmed milk should 
 be used or the fatty matter shoul 1 first 
 be separated. The presence of any but- 
 ter fat in the product will induce speedy 
 rancidity. The finished cream should 
 be dispensed in well-closed jars. 
 
 This cream is used mostly to smooth 
 out wrinkles and to clear the skin by 
 removing blackheads.

 To the milk add one gallon of water 
 hot enough to raise the temperature of 
 the mixture to about 8o° F. Mix the 
 hydrochloric acid with one pint of water 
 and add this to the diluted milk slowly 
 and with constant stirring. Allow the 
 liquid to stand for an hour, collect the 
 precipitate on cheese-cloth, allow it to 
 drain, return it to the vessel and add 
 2 gallons of water. Agitate the liquid 
 thoroughly, breaking up the masses of 
 coagulum, and again drain as before. 
 Repeat this washing and draining until 
 the casein is free from acid and whey. 
 Finally rub up the casein in a mortar 
 with boric acid until well mixed, again 
 transfer to a cheese-cloth bag and allow 
 to hang suspended for 36 to 48 hours, 
 squeezing the bag occasionally, until the 
 casein is quite dry. Transfer the dried 
 and granular casein to a mortar, tritur- 
 ate it till smooth, adding the diluted 
 alcohol to facilitate the process. When 
 well rubbed out, incorporate the sweet 
 almond and aromatic oils and tint suffi- 
 ciently with carmine solution. Then 
 add water enough to form a soft paste 
 and triturate together until well mixed. 
 It is said a perfectly smooth product 
 will not be obtained until it is ground in 
 a paint mill. It must be bottled at once 
 to prevent drying out in suitable jars, 
 ir it may be put into collapsible tubes.

 MASSAGE CREAMS, Fatty. 
 
 Different fatty or oily substances are 
 used for purposes of massage, such as 
 olive, sweet almond, or cocoanut oil, 
 and professional masseurs have various 
 favorite mixtures of their own. All 
 the "cold creams," except the non-greasy 
 kind, may be used for this purpose, in 
 fact most of the massage creams and 
 "skin foods" are in reality "cold 
 creams." These fatty massage creams 
 are extolled as skin foods; some of 
 the fatty matter is supposed to be ab- 
 sorbed, making the tissues more plum", 
 and the accompanying massage helps to 
 smooth out wrinkles, soften the skin, 
 and fill out the cheeks, neck, and bust. 
 The previously mentioned casein mas- 
 sage creams are really not skin foods 
 but act only as cleansers.

 SKIN FOOD. 
 
 Preparations sailing under this name 
 are usually "cold creams" or fatty mas- 
 sage creams or other bland ointments 
 suitably perfumed and sometimes tinted. 
 Fat forms the basis and gives them their 
 hygienic effect as it imparts fullness and 
 softness to the skin. When applied, 
 these preparations are to be rubbed into 
 the skin abundantly, and the friction as- 
 sists the absorbed fat in developing the 
 muscles. Any of the cold creams may 
 be dispensed under the name of "skin 
 food" or any of the subjoined may be 
 used. The so-called "greaseless cold. 
 cream," which see, is recommended as 
 a skin food because it dries on the skin 
 but apparently it "rubs in."

 BUST DEVELOPERS. 
 
 These are of the same type as the 
 "skin foods," in fact the latter are al- 
 ways mentioned as bust developers. As 
 in the case of other portions of the 
 body, the bust is developed or enlarged 
 when vigorously and frequently mas- 
 saged with the assistance of a suitable 
 fatty body. The directions given with 
 an advertised bust developer were as 
 follows : 
 
 Sponge each breast for 10 minutes 
 with cold water ; follow this sponging 
 with brisk friction with a coarse towel 
 for 5 minutes. After the breast is thor- 
 oughly dried and the skin is in a glow, 
 rub the unction well into the skin. All 
 motions should be made firmly but with- 
 out sufficient force to bruise the ten- 
 der tissues or abrade the skin. The 
 motions are best alternated from circles 
 beginning at the base of the gland and 
 decreasing in size until the nipple is 
 reached, to straight stroking lines con- 
 verging from the base of the breast to 
 the nipple. Repeat this treatment twice 
 daily.

 FACE OR TOILET CREAMS (Non- 
 Greasy Skin Creams). 
 
 These preparations are mucilaginous 
 in character, consisting of tragacanth, 
 quince seed, linseed, Irish moss or agar- 
 agar mucilage combined with water, al- 
 cohol, glycerin, borax, or boric acid, and 
 sometimes other ingredients. The for- 
 mulas do not specify coloring matter, 
 but the preparations may be tinted any 
 desired color; red, for example, by 
 means of solution of carmine; violet by 
 means of violet aniline, etc. These 
 creams may be dispensed in moderately 
 wide-mouthed bottles or in collapsible 
 tubes. 
 
 Such preparations may be dispensed 
 under the names "face cream," "toilet 
 cream," Pooling cream," "skin cream," 
 "cosmetic cream," "glycerin cream." 
 "chappine cream," fragrant cream," or 
 similar titles. If containing menthol, the 
 title "menthol cream" may be used; if 
 containing camphor, "camphor cream"; 
 if containing calendula. "calendula 
 cream," etc. Other titles which are used 
 are "cream of roses," "cream of lilacs." 
 "calendula and glycerin lotion," etc. 
 
 See also "Creams Containing Al- 
 mond." 
 
 These preparations are useful in sum- 
 mertime to remove as well as to prevent 
 
944

 tan or sunburn, and in winter to cure 
 and prevent chapped hands, cracked lips 
 and other roughnesses of the skin. La- 
 dies will also find them useful to apply 
 to the face before using a complexion 
 powder, and gentlemen will find it of 
 advantage to use them on the face after 
 shaving. 
 
 Toilet Creams Containing Traga- 
 canth. 
 
 Either the whole gum or powdered 
 tragacanth may be used for making a 
 toilet cream; the powder is very much 
 more convenient although current for- 
 mulas generally mention the whole gum. 
 The advantage in using the powder is 
 that the preparation may be finished at 
 once while the whole gum requires a 
 lengthy preliminary maceration to soften 
 it. The softening may be accelerated 
 by using the water warm or hot and by 
 frequent beating with a paddle or tritu- 
 ration in a mortar with a nestle. After 
 the gum has softened thoroughly the 
 other ingredients may be added and the 
 whole squeezed through cheese-cloth or 
 muslin, preferably the former, as the 
 texture of the muslin is too dense for 
 this purpose. Or the mixture may be 
 very conveniently run through a hand 
 flour sifter. 
 
 The appearance of a cream made with 
 powdered tragacanth varies according as 
 a commercial or a pure powder is used. 
 Either will make a satisfactory prepara- 
 tion but the pure powder will make a 
 more translucent and cleaner looking 
 product. A very satisfactory way of 
 making a cream with powder of traga- 
 canth is to agitate the powder in a bottle 
 with the alcohol or alcoholic liquid, if 
 such is present in the mixture, until the 
 mixture is free from lumps, then add 
 the water or aqueous liquid, all at once, 
 and shake again until well mixed, then 
 incorporate the other ingredients. If the 
 mixing has been properly done, no 
 straining is required, but if any lumps 
 are present, these may be separated by 
 straining through cheese-cloth or, more 
 quickly and satisfactorily, through a 
 
 small wire tea or coffee strainer. The 
 powder may also be triturated in a mor- 
 tar with glycerin to a smooth paste, and 
 the other ingredients incorporated by 
 continued trituration. 
 
 Any desired perfume rriay be added, 
 such as mixtures of various aromatic 
 volatile oils or synthetic perfumes. The 
 mixtures mentioned under "Perfumes 
 for Cold Cream" may be used. 
 
 These creams may be tinted if de- 
 sired.

 neat the glycerin and starch together 
 carefully, with constant stirring, until a 
 smooth jelly is obtained. To this grad- 
 ually add the tragacanth, incorporating 
 thoroughly together. Now add a mix- 
 ture of the carbolic acid, oils, extract 
 and alcohol, mix well, and finally add 
 the water. If necessary, strain again 
 through the cheese-cloth or flour sifter. 
 
 Toilet Creams Containing Quince 
 Seed. 
 
 Quince seed in the uncrushed form 
 yields considerable mucilage to water 
 and hence it makes a satisfactory toilet 
 cream. To make such a cream with 
 quince seed, the latter is simply macer- 
 ated in water, the liquid being stirred 
 vigorously from time to time. A cleaner 
 looking product is obtained if the quince 
 seed is first washed on a sieve with run- 
 ning water to remove adherent dirt and 
 dust. It is best not to add boric acid or 
 borax to the liquid during maceration of 
 the seed as these substances appear to 
 hinder the solution of the gummy mat- 
 ter. 
 
 If a milky white preparation is de- 
 sired, it may be obtained by adding a 
 small amount of tincture of benzoin, 
 about 1 ounce to the gallon. 
 
 Any kind of desired perfume, such as 
 an "extract," aromatic oil, or synthetic 
 perfume, may be added to the cream.

 Toilet Creams Containing Irish 
 Moss. 
 
 In making a toilet cream with Irish 
 moss as a basis, the latter must be boiled 
 with water to extract the mucilaginous 
 substance. Subsequent treatment is the 
 same as in making the other creams, ad- 
 dition of alcohol, glycerin, perfume, etc.

 Almond Toilet Cream (Almond 
 Cream). 
 
 On account of the variety of creams 
 containing almond in some form, a dis- 
 tinction must be made between the fatty 
 and non-fatty creams and those that are 
 actually made with almonds or sweet 
 almond oil and those that merely con- 
 tain oil of bitter almond or benzaldehyde 
 as the odorous agent. The almond cold 
 creams have already been mentioned 
 (see under Cold Cream), the creams 
 containing almond will be mentioned 
 later, and under the present heading are 
 given formulas for two non-fatty creams 
 of the bitter almond odor. Any of the 
 preceding non-greasy skin creams may 
 be made into almond creams by replac- 
 ing the perfume with oil of bitter al- 
 mond or benzaldehyde.

 Creams Containing Almond (Aman- 
 dine). 
 
 Some toilet creams differ from the 
 preceding kind in containing almond in 
 some form, either as an emulsion of 
 sweet or bitter almond, or sweet almond 
 oil in emulsion or saponaceous form, or 
 the almonds and oil may be combined. 
 The creams containing merely oil of bit- 
 ter almonds for the odor are mentioned 
 under a preceding heading entitled Al- 
 mond Toilet Cream, which see. 
 
 These creams receive such names as 
 "almond cream," "milk of almonds," and 
 "amandine." If a "honey and almond 
 cream" is desired, a portion of the water 
 or glycerin may be replaced with honey. 
 If the preparation is tinted a rose color 
 or is flavored strongly with rose, it may 
 be called "cream of roses." Any of the 
 preparations mentioned below may be so 
 tinted or perfumed. Or any other per- 
 fume may be added. 
 
 These preparations are used for 
 cleansing, softening and whitening the 
 skin, almonds having the reputation of 
 being particularly effective for this pur- 
 pose. In summer time they may be rec- 
 ommended for removing tan or sun- 
 burn, and in winter time for healing 
 "chaps" and roughness of the skin.

 for a similar preparation containing

 TOILET MILKS. 
 
 Some toilet washes are known by the 
 appellation of "milks." These consist of 
 an oily substance combined with borax, 
 powdered soap, and a large quantity of 
 water, and are therefore in a sense an 
 imperfect and thin soap, the whole being 
 suitably flavored. The oily substance 
 may consist of lanolin, cocoa butter, co- 
 coanut oil or a combination of these. 
 According to this fatty constituent, the 
 preparation receives the name of "cocoa 
 milk," "cacao milk" or "lanolin milk." 
 Another "milk" which is also used is 
 "cucumber milk" or "milk of cucum- 
 bers," which also contains borax, some 
 oil or soap, and cucumber juice. 
 
 These preparations are used as a sub- 
 stitute for "cold cream" to be applied to 
 the skin at night and may be applied to 
 the face instead of toilet cream before 
 using powder, to enable the- latter to 
 adhere more readily.

 to 4 fluidounces of glycerin, agitating 
 thoroughly after each addition. Allow 
 the mixture to stand for an hour, and 
 then add, in small amounts and with 
 thorough agitation, enough rose water 
 to make 8 fluidounces. Strain the mix- 
 ture at once through a very finely mesh- 
 ed cloth, rubbing it through with a glass 
 rod or bone spatula. This operation 
 should be repeated 3 or 4 times. Allow 
 the mixture to stand for several hours, 
 add the remainder of the glycerin and 
 shake well, and then add the rose water 
 and again agitate thoroughly. 
 
 This preparation is best not prepared

 TOILET OR COSMETIC JELLIES. 
 
 These are preparations of stiff or 
 thick consistence intended as emollient 
 tcilet applications. The body consists of 
 gelatin, starch, tragacanth or similar 
 substance, but most often gelatin is em- 
 ployed. This should be colorless and 
 odorless and otherwise of good quality, 
 there being many inferior grades of gel- 
 atin. On account of the varying absorp- 
 tive power of different kinds of gelatin 
 for water, the qualities given in these 
 formulas may require slight change to 
 produce a jelly of the requisite firmness, 
 but it is believed that the quantities men- 
 tioned will usually prove satisfactory. 
 
 Starch and tragacanth in the form of 
 the official glycerites are also good 
 bodies for these jellies. 
 
 Other common ingredients are glyce- 
 rin, water and perfume ("extract," es- 
 sence, volatile oil or synthetic). The per- 
 fume should preferably be one that does 
 not cause opalescence, a transparent 
 product being much handsomer in ap- 
 pearance. 
 
 Other additions are boric, carbolic or 
 salicylic acid, fluid extract or tincture of 
 arnica or calendula, and distilled extract 
 
 of witch hazel. These jellies may also 
 be tinted a rose color with cochineal col- 
 oring or solution of carmine, X. F. 
 
 Owing to their thickness, these prepa- 
 rations must be dispensed in wide- 
 mouthed bottles, screw-cap jars, or col- 
 lapsible tubes. 
 
 They are used as applications to the 
 face, hands, lips, etc., to heal chaps, re- 
 move roughnesses, soothe the skin, etc., 
 like the toilet creams, milks and lotions. 
 
 The common appellation for these jel- 
 lies is "glycerin jelly." If containing 
 arnica, they may be known as "arnica 
 jelly"; if containing calendula, "calen- 
 dula jelly"; witch hazel, "witch hazel 
 jelly"; if carbolic acid, "carbolated glyc- 
 erin jelly"; if tinted a rose color and 
 flavored with oil of rose, "rose jelly" or 
 "jelly of roses," etc.

 SOLIDIFIED GLYCERIN (Glycerin 
 Honey). 
 
 Several combinations have received 
 this name, one being glycerite of starch, 
 which is suitably perfumed and dis- 
 pensed in screw-cap jars, wide-mouthed 
 bottles or collapsible tubes. 
 Another is prepared as follows: 
 
 Transparent soap av.oz. 1

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 casionally adding water to restore the 
 original volume, then add the remainder 
 of the glycerin and the perfume, and 
 transfer to suitable containers. 
 
 This is to be used as an application to 
 the skin like the glycerin jellies. 
 
 CAMPHOR ICES. (Compound Cam- 
 phor Cerate.) 
 
 These are solid preparations contain- 
 ing fatty bodies like wax and spermaceti 
 in combination with camphor, and are 
 intended for inunction of the hands and 
 face where there is roughness or crack- 
 ing of the skin. They are prapared by 
 melting the fatty substances, allowing to 
 cool somewhat, stirring in the camphor, 
 allowing to cool, adding aromatic oils, 
 if the latter are used, and pouring into 
 molds. The best material for the latter 
 is block tin. These may be chilled be- 
 fore casting the mixture, as this renders 
 adhesion less likely. Much cheaper, 
 though less elegant, molds may be made 
 of tinned iron. The mixture may be 
 poured into a large mold and the mass 
 may subsequently be cut into smaller ob- 
 long cakes, or the mixture may be at 
 once poured into individual molds. 
 
 The usual way of putting up camphor 
 ice for sale is to wrap it first in thin 
 oiled paper, then in an outer covering of 
 tin-foil, and lastly to enclose it in a 
 paper or ornamental tin box. 
 
 Camphor ice may be known by this 
 title; if it contain glycerin as "glycerin 
 camphor ice"; if containing cocoa butter 
 as "cocoa camphor ice," and if contain- 
 ing petrolatum as "petrolatum camphor 
 ice." 
 
 The quantity of camphor in these for- 
 mulas may be altered within very wide 
 limits. Larger or smaller amounts may 
 be used at the option of the operator.

 ous other detergent agents such as pow- 
 dered orris root, soap, wheat flour, 
 borax, etc., and also with aromatic 
 agents such as oils of bitter almonds, 
 lemon, bergamot, etc., or synthetics. The 
 almonds may be blanched or not, the 
 product in the former case being much 
 lighter in color. 
 
 In some formulas the almonds are

 PASTE OR OINTMENT FOR COS- 
 METIC GLOVES. 
 By cosmetics gloves are meant kid or 
 cotton gloves several sizes too large, 
 which are to be smeared on the inside 
 with any suitable paste, ointment or 
 cream, and then to be worn at night for 
 the purpose of softening the hands or 
 keeping them soft or for healing crack- 
 ed skin. "Cold cream" or any other 
 kind of a cream or emollient may be 
 used on the gloves, and the following 
 are also recommended. 
 I. 
 
 This preparation has been recommend- 
 ed by a "beauty expert" under the name 
 "honey and almond paste for cosmetic 
 gloves" : 
 
 Almond meal av.oz. 4 
 
 Sweet almond oil fl.oz. 8 
 
 Honey fl.oz. 8 
 
 Egg yolk fl. or av.oz. Vi 
 
 Knead the almond meal, honey, and 
 egg-yolk together, then add the oil, and 
 work up into a smooth paste.

 Here is another paste also offered by 
 
 a "beauty expert" : 
 
 Sweet almond oil fl.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 1 
 
 Rice flour av.oz. 1 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 6 
 
 Tincture of benzoin fl.dr. 3 
 
 Yolk of 2 eggs. 
 
 Rub up the oil, glycerin, rice flour, 
 
 and egg yolk together, then incorporate 
 
 the rose water and benzoin. 
 
 COMPLEXION OR FACE POWDERS. 
 
 Complexion powders contain such 
 constituents as talcum, starch, precipi- 
 tated chalk, bismuth subnitrate, oxid, 
 hydrate, subcarbonate or oxychlorid, 
 zinc oxid, magnesium carbonate or oxid, 
 and orris root, together with suitable 
 perfume and with coloring matter if a 
 colored powder be desired. These solids 
 
 must be in the form of fine powder, 
 must be intimately mixed, and then 
 sifted through a fine bolting cloth sieve; 
 whatever fails to pass through the sieve 
 must be returned to the mortar and be 
 still further triturated until all will pass 
 through. If colored powder is to be 
 prepared, the coloring matter should be 
 added to the powder before sifting and 
 should be very thoroughly triturated 
 with a small portion of the powder be- 
 fore adding the remainder of the pow- 
 der. After sifting, the perfume may be 
 added; the whole should be again passed 
 through the sieve to break up any lumps 
 which may have formed by the addition 
 of the moist perfume to the dry pow- 
 der. 
 
 If a flesh-colored powder is desired, 
 carmine is employed as the coloring 
 agent. A so-called pink powder is more 
 reddish than the flesh-colored, and more 
 carmine may be used, or also Armenian 
 bole. Sometimes a brunette powder is 
 desired and then burnt umber or sienna 
 is used as the coloring agent; cream 
 powder is prepared by the use of cad- 
 mium yellow or chrome yellow (lead 
 chromate), a trace of carmine being 
 added sometimes; a rachel tint is im- 
 parted by means of powdered turmeric 
 or yellow ochre. In the formulas given 
 below, no coloring agents are men- 
 tioned, being intended that these should 
 be added only as desired. 
 
 In preparing face powders, the best 
 materials should be employed. For ex- 
 ample, Hubbuck's or other first-class 
 zinc oxid should be used. The best 
 talcum is what is known as Venetian 
 chalk; the best precipitated chalk is th; 
 kind known as the English; the pre- 
 ferred bismuth compounds are the light 
 variety which are now readily obtain- 
 able. Owing to their poisonous nature, 
 lead and mercury compounds such as 
 flake white and calomel should never 
 be used. 
 
 The perfume may be altered at pleas- 
 ure. Various combinations of essential 
 oils, "extracts," and synthetics may be

 used. Essential oils may always be 
 replaced by the corresponding synthetics 
 as oils of rose and ylang ylang by the 
 artificial oils, oil of bergamot by linalyl 
 acetate, and so on. 
 
 It may be mentioned here that the 
 so-called "rice powders" contain little 
 or no rice flour or starch and this sub- 
 stance possesses no particular merit as a 
 cosmetic any way.

 phane." 
 
 Fatty Face Powder. 
 Fat in the form of wool-fat is intro- 
 duced into some face powders, owing to 
 dryness of the skin or to prevent the 
 latter from becoming dry and sca^y. 
 The^ fat imparts to the powder a de- 
 sirable smoothness, increases the power 
 of adherence to the skin, and helps to 
 preserve the latter in a smooth and sup- 
 ple condition. 
 
 To prepare such a powder anhydrous 
 wool-fat is dissolved in some volatile 
 solvent like ether or chloroform, this 
 solution is rapidly and intimately mixed 
 with the powdery ingredients, the mix- 
 ture is spread out and exposed to the 
 air until all the solvent has vaporized, 
 and the residue triturated with the re- 
 maining ingredients of the face powder. 
 Anhydrous wool-fat is soluble in two 
 parts of ether and it has been suggested 
 that this solution be mixed intimately 
 with enough magnesium carbonate to 
 make up three times the weight of the 
 w r ool-fat originally employed. After/ 
 exposure to the air to dry, other ingredi- 
 ents are to be added. The mixture 
 may be perfumed and colored in the 
 usual manner. Instead of magnesium 
 carbonate, any other absorbent powder 
 may be employed. If there be no anhy- 
 drous wool-fat on hand, the hydrous 
 kind may be used by shaking it with the 
 requisite amount of ether and allowing 
 
960 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 the mixture to stand for several days so 
 that the ethereal and aqueous portions 
 may separate. The ethereal portion may 
 then be used in the regular manner. 
 
 COMPLEXION TABLETS. 
 
 Any of the preceding powders may 
 be converted into the tablet or cake 
 form by beating into a stiff paste with 
 water, pressing into suitable molds, and 
 then drying. It may be necessary to add 
 a small amount of powdered tragacanth 
 to hold the powder together while it is 
 being made into the mass form. 
 
 LIQUID COSMETICS. (Liquid Face 
 Paints.) 
 
 Any of the face powders may be con- 
 verted into lotions by mixing with water, 
 which may or may not be perfumed or 
 colored; a small amount of glycerin is 
 frequently added. The powders do not 
 dissolve, but are simply suspended by 
 shaking. These liquids are used instead 
 of face powders. 
 
 Substances suitable for the purpose 
 indicated are : Prepared chalk, magne- 
 sium carbonate, zinc oxid, the oxy- 
 chlorid or subnitrate of bismuth. The 
 last two resemble chalk in density, but 
 much excel it in whiteness. 
 
 Unscrupulous or careless persons 
 sometimes use white lead (flake white) 
 in the preparation of cosmetics, and cal- 
 omel is said to be the chief ingredient 
 of a proprietary cosmetic that has had 
 some reputation. The character of both 
 these substances renders their use for 
 such purposes dangerous, as even exter- 
 nal application may produce the consti- 
 tutional effects of lead or mercury. 
 
 In making these preparations a per- 
 fectly smooth mixture must be made by 
 long trituration, preferably rubbing the 
 powder first with the glycerin. If a 
 white preparation is desired, no color- 
 ing agent is added; but if a flesh-colored 
 preparation, then solution of carmine or 
 an alcoholic solution of eosin must be 
 added. No coloring agent or perfume 
 is mentioned in the formulas below as 
 these may be added as desired.

 BOUGES. 
 
 These are preparations of deep red 
 tint employed usually for heightening 
 the color of the cheeks. They may be 
 in liquid, ointment, or tablet forms. The 
 coloring agent is either carmine, eosin, 
 or rosanilin. The liquid preparations 
 receive a fanciful name like "vinegar 
 rouge," (if a small amount of acetic 
 acid be added) "maiden's blush," or 
 "bloom of roses." The tablet form is 
 usually called "theater rouge." 
 
 Nos. VI and VII are different from 
 the others; they contain alloxan, which 
 turns on exposure.

 This preparation has been called 
 Schnonda or Rose Sympathique.lt con- 
 tains alloxan, a white crystalline sub- 
 stance derived from uric acid which 
 turns red on exposure to the air. It is 
 best mixed with fatty substances to form 
 a white cream, as follows:

 GREASE PAINTS. 
 
 A good basis for grease paints for 
 theatrical purposes, for eye-brow pen- 
 cils, and for stick cosmetics may be 
 made according to the following for- 
 mula: 
 
 Cersin av.oz. 3 
 
 Petrolatum av.oz. 4 
 
 Wool-fat av.oz. 4 
 
 White wax av.oz. 6 
 
 Olive oil av.oz. 12 
 
 Melt the white wax and ceresin to- 
 gether, add the petrolatum and wool- 
 fat, and when all are melted, incor- 
 porate the oil. The coloring substance 
 should be triturated uniformly and to 
 the desired color with a sufficiency of 
 powdered talcum, after which this is in- 
 corporated with the fatty mixture. The 
 whole is then to be cast into suitable 
 molds. 
 
 The coloring substance used depends 
 on the color desired. The following 
 are used : Zinc oxid, sienna, umber, 
 carmine, rhodamin, eosin, animal char- 
 coal, lampblack, and many of the 
 anilines. 
 BLUE PENCILS FOR VEINS. 
 
 These are used to accentuate the 
 course of the veins. They may be made 
 with a basis the same as the grease 
 paints, which see. Prussian blue is used 
 as the coloring agent. 
 FACE BLEACHES. (Skin White- 
 ners.) 
 Under this name arc marketed a 
 number of preparations of which the 
 
 principal or active constituent is corro- 
 sive sublimate. The use of such nrepa- 
 rations is not countenanced, and the 
 following formula is given only because 
 the preparation is in occasional demand : 
 
 Mercury bichlorid gr. 1 
 
 Emulsion of bitter almond, .fl.oz. 12 
 
 Tincture of benzoin fl.dr. 1 
 
 The mercury salt is dissolved in the 
 emulsion and the mixture gradually 
 added to the tincture. This preparation 
 does not keep long; should be kept in 
 small opaque vials and be dispensed only 
 with a "shake well" label. 
 
 The emulsion may be prepared from 
 one av. ounce of bitter almond. 
 
 Other "bleaches" contain from one- 
 half to one grain corrosive sublimate 
 to the fluidounce. 
 
 The above is known as Hebra's Ori- 
 ental Cosmetic Water. 
 
 Another similar preparation is Gow- 
 land's Cosmetic Lotion, which see. 
 
 Another preparation which is said to 
 be used as a face bleach is this : 
 
 Lactic acid, U. S. P fl.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 4 
 
 Tincture of benzoin fl.dr. 2 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 32 
 
 Mix, perfume as desired, and filter 
 clear through kaolin or talcum. It may 
 also be tinted with carmine. 
 
 Hydrogen peroxid is the latest, most 
 useful, and least harmful skin bleach. 
 It is usually applied in a somewhat 
 diluted form or in the form of peroxid 
 cold cream, or peroxid lotion. See for- 
 mulas for latter. 
 
 The following is recommended as a 
 cream containing hydrogen peroxid : 
 
 Hydrogen peroxid fl.oz. 4 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 3^

 Triturate the wool-fat with the oil 
 until well mixed, then thoroughly in- 
 corporate with this a solution of the 
 borax in the glycerin and peroxid. This 
 cream may be perfumed as desired. 
 
 Another cream of a different order, 
 recommended for the same purpose is

 TOILET AND NURSERY POW- 
 DERS. 
 
 (Infant Powders — Baby Powders — 
 Dusting Powders.) 
 These are mixtures of talcum, starch, 
 rice flour, boric acid, orris root, zinc 
 oxid, and similar substances to which 
 perfumes may be added. These powders 
 should be reduced to an impalpable con- 
 dition by sifting through a fine sieve 
 Especially is the fine condition required 
 for nursery purposes. 
 
964 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 These powders are not adapted to take 
 the place of the so-called "face pow- 
 ders" as they are lacking: in what may 
 be termed "coating" quality (Deckkraft 
 in German). They are applied to the 
 face and neck by ladies after washing 
 to overcome the shininess of the skin, 
 and by men after shaving. In the nur- 
 sery they are useful to apply to infant's 
 bodies after bathing. In the summer 
 time they are used to absorb perspira- 
 tion and to apply before exposure to the 
 hot rays of the sun to avoid sunburn. 
 As an absorbent after night-sweats and 
 during fevers, they are especially grate- 
 ful. They are also applied to portions 
 of the body, such as under the arms, to 
 prevent or cure chafing. 
 
 Formulas for miscellaneous toilet 
 powders are given under this heading; 
 other formulas follow under distinctive 
 headings.

 "oxygen talcum powders" is sodium per- 
 borate, which on contact with moisture 
 evolves oxygen. In its simplest form, 
 an oxyp-en talcum powder may be made 
 as follows: 
 
 XL 
 
 Talcum av.oz. 19 
 
 Sodium perborate av.oz. I 
 
 Perfume, to suit. 
 
 The talcum and perborate should be 
 in very fine powder, should be well mix- 
 ed with the perfume, and the mixture 
 should be passed through a fine sieve. 
 
 Any of the other formulas for bor- 
 ated or violet talcum powders may be 
 used, but the mixture should not con- 
 tain more than about 5% of the per- 
 borate. In the case of the borated 
 powders, the perborate should replace 
 the boric acid to make an oxygen pow- 
 der. 
 
 Violet Talcum Powder. 
 
 Any of the borated talcum powders 
 may be converted into a violet talcum 
 powder by substituting powdered orris 
 root for the boric acid and scenting the 
 mixture with violet perfume in some 
 form such as ionone solution, essence of 
 violet, or violet extract. Or the mix- 
 ture, or violet essences, etc., used to 
 make violet extract may be used for 
 perfuming the powder.

 LIP SALVES OR POMADES. 
 
 These are preparations for anointing 
 the lips to cure or prevent "crackine." 
 They consist usually of white or yel- 
 low wax, spermaceti, paraffin, cocoa but- 
 ter, petrolatum, or lard mixed with an 
 oil like olive or sweet almond, the 
 whole being flavored, usually with oil of 
 rose. Frequently they are tinted a rose 
 color by means of carmine, alkannin, 
 or alkanet root. The first mentioned 
 must first be triturated to very fine 
 powder before adding oil or fat, and 
 during cooling the fatty mixture must 
 be frequently stirred to prevent it from 
 subsiding. Alkannin is easier to use be- 
 cause it dissolves in the fats. Alkanet 
 colors the fatty mixture during a rather 
 prolonged maceration assisted by heat. 
 If a colored preparation is to be made, 
 yellow wax should be substituted for 
 white wax, wherever the latter is men- 
 tioned, owing to the better keeping qual- 
 ities of the former. Camphor may be 
 added to these preparations, also sali- 
 cylic acid. 
 
 The preparations are usually known 
 by such titles as "rose lip salve," "tulip 
 salve," "lip pomade," "rose cerate," "lip 
 ointment" and "coral lip salve." 
 
 Lip salve is dispensed in very small 
 jars.

 If used after the hot water applica- 
 tion, the following ointment, thoroughly 
 rubbed in, will be found efficient : 
 
 Resorcin gr. 12 
 
 Cold cream av.oz. 1 
 
 Apply at night also. 
 
 When the comedones are small but in 
 great numbers, the following is a good 
 application :

 carmine may be used 
 
 This and the preceding preparation 
 may be entitled "rose lip cream." 
 
 APPLICATIONS FOR BLACK- 
 HEADS OR COMEDONES. 
 
 Blackheads, or comedones, are due 
 to the solidflcation of the natural fat 
 within the sebaceous glands or ducts. 
 The skin under these circumstances 
 lacks expulsive energy to get rid of the 
 thickened secretion. The application of 
 very hot water and wool-fat soap often 
 suffices to remove the trouble. To keep 
 the skin in a healthy condition, bath- 
 ing and washing must be freely prac- 
 ticed and must be stimulated by friction 
 with crash or Turkish towels. Alka- 
 line soaps should be avoided. Other 
 treatments are given below. 
 
 I. 
 
 Before retiring bathe the parts af- 
 fected with very hot water, dry well, 
 then rub thoroughly with a lotion con- 
 sisting of

 Aromatic spirit of ammonia. fl.dr. 2 
 The object of this, is to dissolve the 
 sebaceous deposits. To further soften 
 and loosen the same, a paste is applied, 
 composed of 
 
 Acetic . acid fl.oz. 1 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 1 ^2 
 
 Kaolin ..''. .av.oz. 2

 This paste is removed by washing the 
 face on the following morning. After a 
 few days the comedones can be easily 
 expressed, if necessary, with the aid of 
 a watch key. 
 
 Friction with a Turkish towel, the 
 use of soap containing tar, resorcin or 
 ichthyol rubbing with resorcin solu- 
 tion in spirit of ether, etc., constitute 
 a good after treatment.

 FRECKLE AND MOTH REMOVERS. 
 
 Freckles consist of deposits of pig- 
 ment in the skin. There are two kinds 
 of freckles, one caused by exposure 
 to the sun and heat of summertime and 
 is therefore akin to tan or sunburn; 
 this kind is called "summer freckles." 
 This kind may fade away by itself and 
 is easily removed by applications. The 
 other is a permanent pigmentation of 
 the skin, the true freckle, also called 
 "cold or winter freckle." 
 
 "Summer freckles" may be removed 
 by the same remedies as are recom- 
 mended for sunburn, while true freckles 
 require more active agents. Most of 
 the preparations recommended for 
 freckles have as a base some agent of 
 an escharotic action like citric acid (or 
 lemon juice) or a mercurial salt like 
 mercuric chlorid or ammoniated mer- 
 cury (white precipitate), the former 
 being usually recommended, the latter 
 more safe. These agents destroy and 
 remove the outside old skin, mercuric 
 chlorid acting most nuickly but also 
 most dangerously. Another agent rec- 
 ommended is zinc sulfocarbolate. Lat- 
 terly hydrogen peroxid is suggested and 
 
 probably sodium perborate would prove 
 useful. 
 
 The same applications are used to 
 eradicate moths. 
 
 Most of the formulas mentioned be- 
 low are highly recommended for the 
 purpose, in many cases having received 
 the approval of medical authority.

 Should the skin become red and irri- 
 tated, the lotion must be suspended for 
 a few days to allow the inflammation 
 to subside.

 REMEDIES FOB PIMPLES OR 
 ACNE. 
 
 Like "blackheads," pimples is a dis- 
 ease of the sebaceous glands, and is 
 characterized by an eruption which us- 
 ually appears on the face but may occur 
 on the back, shoulders and chest. The 
 cause may be local, such as lack of per- 
 fect cleanliness, the use of strong alka- 
 line soaps, but the affection is usually 
 the result of constitutional disturbance 
 and manifests itself mostly during the 
 periods of puberty and adolescence. The 
 most common cause is some form of 
 indigestion and the main reliance for 
 cure should be upon dieting. Greasy 
 foods, sweet stuffs, such as pie, cake, 
 candy, etc., hot bread and biscuits, 
 cheese, highly seasoned foods, etc., 
 should be avoided. 
 
 Internal medication with the view of 
 exercising a direct effect upon the dis- 
 ease consists in the use of calcium sulfid 
 and of arsenic, ichthyol also have been 
 recommended. Calcium sulfid is given 
 in doses of % grain 3 or 4 times a day, 
 arsenic in doses of 1/20 grain 3 times a 
 day, and ichthyol 5 to 8 grains 3 times a 
 day. 
 
 Local treatment should consist, first 
 and foremost, of the frequent use of 
 very hot water and good toilet soap. In 
 mild forms this may be sufficient. In 
 severer forms, tincture of green soap 
 should be used to cleanse the skin. Gen- 
 erally, however, more energetic treat- 
 ment is required. The formulas men- 
 tioned below are all highly recommend- 
 ed for the purpose.

 This lotion should be applied fre- 
 quently. It is best to begin with a 
 weaker preparation, gradually making it 
 stronger so as not to produce irritation 
 of the skin. If there is any irritation, 
 some toilet cream or emollient should 
 be applied for a day or two.

 APPLICATIONS FOR TAN OR 
 SUNBURN. 
 
 "Tan" is a darkening of the skin due 
 to exposure to the sun. When the ex- 
 posure is of such a nature as to cause 
 pain or smarting and peeling of the skin, 
 the result is properly called "sunburn." 
 An excellent remedy to allay the smart- 
 ing of sunburn is lead water. Other 
 soothing and healing remedies for sun- 
 burn are any of the cold creams, toilet 
 creams or jellies, creams containing al- 
 monds, camphor ice, skin emollients or 
 toilet tablets. To bleach a tanned skin, 
 any of the preparations recommended 
 
 for freckles may be used, also the prep- 
 arations enumerated under the heading 
 Face or Skin Bleaches or Whiteners, 
 also Gowland's Cosmetic Lotion. The 
 preparations mentioned below emanate 
 mostly from good authority. 
 
 I. Under the name Albadermine has 
 been devised a foreign process for the 
 removal of tan, sunburn, and summer 
 freckles which requires the use of two 
 solutions : 
 
 Solution A. 
 
 Potassium iodid dr. 2 
 
 Iodin gr. 6 
 
 Glycerin fl.dr. 3 
 
 Infusion of rose fl.oz. 4 
 
 Dissolve the potassium iodid in a 
 small quantity of the infusion and one 
 fluidram of the glycerin; with this fluid 
 moisten the iodin in a glass mortar and 
 rub it down, gradually adding. more li- 
 quid until complete solution has been 
 obtained; then stir in the remainder of 
 the ingredients, and bottle the mixture. 
 Solution B. 
 
 Sodium hyposulfite dr. 4 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Dissolve and filter. 
 
 With a small camel's hair oencil or 
 piece of fine sponge apply a little of "A" 
 to the tanned or freckled surface, until 
 a slight but tolerablv uniform brownish- 
 yellow skin has been produced. At the 
 expiration of fifteen or twenty minutes 
 moisten a oiece of cambric, lint or soft 
 rag with "B" and lay it upon the affect- 
 ed part, removing, squeezing away the 
 liquid, soaking it afresh, and again ap- 
 plying until the iodin stain has disap- 
 peared. Repeat the entire process three 
 times daily, but diminish the frequency 
 of the application if tenderness be pro- 
 duced. In the course of from three or 
 four days to as man}' weeks the discol- 
 oration will either have disappeared en- 
 tirely, or its intensity will be very great- 
 ly diminished. "Summer freckles" are 
 said to yield readily to this treatment.

 Apply twice daily, first washing and 
 drying the skin carefully. 
 FOR MOTH OR LIVER PATCHES. 
 The cause of these pigmentations of 
 the skin is unknown but they are ascrib- 
 ed by the laity to affections of the liver, 
 whence the name. The preparations 
 recommended for freckles and for tan 
 will also be useful for moth patches, es- 
 pecially the preparation known as "alba- 
 dermine." The following is also rec- 
 ommended : 
 
 Zinc oxid dr. 3 
 
 Magnesium carbonate dr. 3 
 
 Kaolin dr. 6 
 
 Glycerin dr. 6 
 
 Wool-fat, hydrous .av.oz. 2 
 
 Apply to the discolored spot as often 
 as convenient. 
 WRINKLE CREAM. 
 
 The following is offered by a beauty 
 expert under the above name: 
 
 White wax av.oz. 2 
 
 Spermaceti av.oz. 2^ 
 
 Wool-fat, hydrous av.oz. 7 
 
 Sweet almond oil fl.oz. 16 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 12 
 
 Borax, powder gr. 80 
 
 Of course this is only a "cold cream" 
 and any other preparation of the same 
 kind containing wool-fat may be used 
 for the same purpose. See also the fatty 
 massage creams and skin foods. 
 
 WRINKLE LOTIONS. 
 
 Washes for preventing the formation 
 of wrinkles are usually of an astringent 
 nature. They ward off the wrinkles but 
 they close the pores of the skin and 
 eventually impart to the latter a dead- 
 ened appearance. The following are 
 used : 
 
 Tannic acid dr. 1 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 1 
 
 Glycerin fl.dr. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 4 
 
 Apply this 3 times a day. 
 
 II. 
 
 Alum dr. 1 
 
 Glycerin fl.dr. 4 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 8 
 
 Use like the preceding. 
 III. It is said that there is nothing 
 better for the skin than wool-fat and if 
 used daily it unquestionably keeps the 
 skin soft. Or any of the "cold creams" 
 or any other toilet preparation contain- 
 ing wool-fat may be used. The follow- 
 ing is also a good lotion for this pur- 
 pose : 
 
 White castile soap dr. 2^ 
 
 Borax dr. iy 2 
 
 Cocoanut oil dr. 3 
 
 Wool-fat, hydrous av.oz. 1 
 
 Water ..fl.oz. 1 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 10 
 
 Rub the soap and borax, both in fine 
 powder, with the oil, fat and water un- 
 til thoroughly mixed, then gradually in- 
 corporate the rose water, which has pre- 
 viously been warmed.

 FOR RED HANDS. 
 
 Liebreich recommended the following 
 
 preparations : 
 
 T. 
 
 Wool-fat, hydrous av.oz. 1 
 
 Vanillin gr. 6 
 
 Oil of rose drops 4 
 
 II. 
 
 Wool-fat, hydrous dr. 2 
 
 Liquid paraffin dr. s J / 2 
 
 Vanillin gr. 2 
 
 Oil of rose drop 1 
 
 These preparations are to be used fre- 
 quently. They coat the skin with a thin 
 layer of fat which prevents Assuring of 
 the cuticle. 1 
 
 FOR "COLD SORES." 
 
 These are a cluster of vesicles which 
 occur at the corners of the mouth or 
 the borders of the lips. There is red- 
 ness, swelling, and a sense of tingling 
 and burning. Various substances rec- 
 ommended are glycerite of tannin, zinc 
 ointment, and preparations containing 
 camphor, such as camphor ice. Lassar's 
 paste is also excellent. A coating of 
 flexible collodion protects the parts and 
 relieves the symptoms. The following 
 dusting powder is good : 
 
 Boric acid gr. 15 
 
 Acctanilid gr. 15 
 
 Starch dr. 4 
 
 "Cold sores" are said to disappear 
 after a mild cathartic taken for 2 or 3 
 days. 
 WART ERADICATORS. 
 
 Pharmacists are frequently called 
 upon to recommend or offer some rem- 
 edy for the eradication of the peculiar 
 excrescences known as warts. These 
 are peculiar in that sometimes a very 
 simple remedy applied but once or twice 
 will cause them to disappear and at 
 other times they persist indefinitely in 
 spite of all treatment. 
 
 Every one is probably familiar with 
 the application of silver nitrate in sticks, 
 concentrated nitric acid, creosote, car- 
 bolic acid, or salicylic acid in any of the 
 forms of corn cures. Glacial acetic and 
 dichloracetic acid are frequently em- 
 ployed, while some add salicylic acid in 
 the proportion of 1 in 16 to concentrated 
 acetic acid. Another escharotic solution 
 consists of chromic acid 1 part, water 
 5 parts. Unna recommends mercurial 
 plaster containing 5% of arsenic. It is 
 also recommended to shave off the wart 
 to the quick and then to apply a com- 
 press wet with a saturated solution of 
 ammonium chlorid. A corrosive collo- 
 dion for warts consists of 1 part of 
 mercuric chlorid dissolved in 20 parts 
 of collodion. Other applications are: 
 Concentrated hydrochloric acid, solu- 
 tion of antimony chlorid, solution of 
 mercuric nitrate, potassium bichromate, 
 arsenic oleate, copper oleate, and for- 
 maldehyde. Castor oil and oil of cinna- 
 mon are also useful. All of these rem- 
 edies must be applied once or twice 
 daily until the wart disappears. The 
 outer hard, thick layer of cuticle should 
 always be removed before applying any- 
 thing whatever. 
 
 An ointment sometimes recommended 
 is the following: 
 
 Verdigris gr. 50 
 
 Savin, powder gr. 50 
 
 Soap cerate av.oz. 1 
 
 The following powder is said to be 
 very effective: 
 
 Calomel gr. 30 
 
 Boric acid gr. 15 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 5 
 
 Cinnabar gr. 3 
 
 Rub into the wart 2 or 3 times a day. 
 Or use the following: 
 
 Mercuric chlorid gr. 5 
 
 Salicylic acid dr. 1 
 
 Collodion fl.oz. 1 
 
 In the case of multiple warts, where 
 a large number appear within a short 
 time, there is some constitutional de- 
 rangement, and the patients are usually 
 advised to take Fowler's solution in very 
 small doses, or magnesium sulfate in 5 
 
HAIR AND SCALP PREPARATIONS. 
 
 973 
 
 gr. doses 3 times daily. The following 
 application has been recommended: 
 
 Sublimed sulfur dr. 2 
 
 Glycerin . , fl.dr. 5 
 
 Acetic acid fl.dr. 1 
 
 Apply repeatedly to each wart, contin- 
 uing the treatment for several days. 
 The warts dry up and then drop off. 
 
 A medical journal recommends the 
 following : 
 
 When warts persist it is well to give 
 about 8 grains of magnesium sulfate 
 each night; and a local application of 
 
 Chloral hydrate dr. i l / 2 
 
 Salicylic acid dr. 1 
 
 Acetic acid fl.dr. V/ 2 
 
 Ether fl.dr. 1^ 
 
 Collodion fl.dr. 4 
 
 Paint on the warty growths once daily. 
 Children's warts, appearing principally 
 on the hands, may be removed by ap- 
 plying during several days solution of 
 soda or potassa, and then covering them 
 with collodion containing tannin. The 
 same treatment applies for common 
 warts. 
 
 Erasmus Wilson considers the appli- 
 cation of caustic potassa in stick form 
 to be the quickest and most reliable 
 eradicator, one treatment being all that 
 is usually required. 
 
 Warts appearing on the skin of elder- 
 ly persons must be looked upon' as sus- 
 picious (cancer) and should be shown 
 to a reliable surgeon.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 PREPARATIONS FOR THE HAIR, 
 SCALP, MUSTACHE AND 
 BEARD. 
 
 LIQUID SOAPS. 
 
 These are solutions of soap in a mix- 
 ture of water and alcohol and are gen- 
 erally prepared by direct combination 
 of fixed oil or oleic acid with alkali 
 in the presence of water and alcohol, 
 the latter facilitating combination. Ex- 
 cess of alkali is necessary but great 
 excess should be avoided. These prepa- 
 ration are used for cleansing the skin 
 for cosmetic and surgical purposes. If 
 used for cleansing the skin prior to per- 
 forming surgical operations they may 
 contain ether or various antiseptics may 
 be added such as carbolic acid or a 
 cresol solution. 
 
 For cosmetic purposes they may be 
 scented with different volatile oils or 
 synthetic perfumes, or rose or orange 
 flower water may be substituted for a 
 
974 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 portion or all of the water. Distilled 
 water should be used instead of ordin- 
 ary hydrant water as the latter usually 
 contains various salts, particularly cal- 
 cium, which will unite with the oil or 
 oleic acid form insoluble oleates. 
 
 These preparations may remain un- 
 colored or they may be tinted reddish 
 with tincture of cudbear or green with 
 alcoholic solution of chlorophyll. 
 
 The soda and potassa (sodium and 
 potassium hydrate or hydroxid) used in 
 these preparations should be of the 
 strength required by the U. S. P.; if 
 not, proportionately more must be used. 
 
 I. Wilbert's formula : 
 
 Cottonseed oil fl.oz. 12 
 
 Sodium hydrate av,oz. 1 
 
 Potassium hydrate av.oz. 1 
 
 Alcohol ..." fl.oz. 6 
 
 Distilled water, to make. .. .fl.oz. 60 
 In a suitable container, preferably a 
 glass-stoppered bottle, dissolve the po- 
 tassium and sodium hydrates in 6 fluid- 
 ounces of distilled water, add the alco- 
 hol, and then add the oil in three or 
 four portions, shaking vigorously after 
 each addition. Continue to agitate the 
 mixture occasionally until saponification 
 is completed. Then add the remainder 
 of the water. 
 
 The two hydrates must be of the 
 strength demanded by the U. S. P. or 
 proportionately more must be used. Dis- 
 tilled water should be used as ordin- 
 ary water contains salts of various 
 kinds. The product may be medicated 
 if desired, or it may be perfumed with 
 volatile oils or synthetic perfumes or 
 orange flower or rose water may be 
 used instead of distilled water.

 The potash may be caustic potassa or 
 any good commercial grade of potash 
 or lye. The excess will remain at the 
 bottom of the bottle and the soap may 
 be decanted. 
 
 Liquid Glycerin Soap. 
 
 Any of the previously mentioned 
 liquid soaps, if made from fixed oil, 
 contain some glycerin, but by a liquid 
 glycerin soap is usually understood a 
 liquid soap containing a fairly large 
 proportion of glycerin. Any of the above 
 liquid soaps may be converted into a 
 glycerin soap by replacing a portion of 
 the water with glycerin. The propor- 
 tion of the latter may be varied to suit 
 different ideas or requirements. 
 
 Liquid Tar Soap. 
 
 This may be prepared by adding oil 
 of tar to the finished soap instead of 
 perfume, in the proportion of about an 
 ounce or two to the gallon or pine tar 
 itself may be added to the fixed oil 
 before saponification. 
 
 SHAMPOO LIQUIDS. 
 
 These are preparations used as appli- 
 cations to the head for the purpose of 
 removing dust, dirt, dandruff, etc., from 
 the hair and scalp. They should be ap- 
 plied freely and rubbed in thoroughly 
 until a copious lather is formed which 
 is to be removed with running water. 
 Any of the previously mentioned linuid 
 soaps may be used as shampoos or 
 any of the preparations mentioned be- 
 low.

 water and tincture of quillaja, add the 
 remaining ingredients, and filter if nec- 
 essary. 
 
 SEA FOAM LIQUIDS. (Dry Sham- 
 poos.) 
 
 The difference between these and the 
 preceding class of preparations is not 
 
 a well defined one, and in fact, the 
 difference is largely in the matter of 
 application or use, the shampoos being 
 employed in liberal quantities and rub- 
 bed in vigorously to produce a copious 
 lather, which will then require a large 
 amount of water for removal. In the 
 case of sea foams, or dry shampoos, a 
 more or less volatile alkali, ammonia, 
 for example, usually forms the prin- 
 cipal ingredient, which foams but slight- 
 ly, and the hair may be cleansed by rub- 
 bing with a wet towel. 
 
 These liquids may be colored yellow 
 with tincture of curcuma, red with tinc- 
 ture of cudbear, or green with alco- 
 holic solution of chlorophyll. They may 
 be perfumed in any desided manner.

 in enough water to make 16 fluidounces, 
 add the potassium carbonate, stir till 
 dissolved, allow to cool somewhat, add 
 the alcohol, oil, and tincture, and finally 
 filter. 
 
 The soap for this preparation may be 
 made like the soft soap of the U. S. P., 
 substituting cocoanut oil for the lin- 
 seed oil of the latter. 
 
 Any other perfume or coloring agent 
 may be used.

 SHAMPOO PASTE, CREAM OR 
 JELLY. 
 
 Many shampoo preparations are now 
 put up in the form of pastes or jellies 
 which are really soft soaps. Many of 
 these are known by the name "egg 
 shampoo," but some of these prepara- 
 tions do not contain any egg, but are 
 merely a perfumed soap. 
 
 I. 
 
 Cocoanut oil av.oz. 16 
 
 Potassium hydrate av.oz. 2 
 
 Potassium carbonate av.oz. 1 
 
 Oil of rose geranium drops 10 
 
 Oil of bergamot drops 30 
 
 Distilled water sufficient 
 
 Melt the cocoanut oil in a porcelain 
 or enameled-iron dish, dissolve the caus- 
 tic potash in 8 fluidounces of distilled 
 water, and add gradually and with con- 
 stant stirring to the hot oil, continuing 
 the heat and stirring until saponification 
 is complete. Discontinue the heat, to the 
 warm soap add the potassium carbonate 
 dissolved in 4 fluidounces of water, stir 
 or beat until the paste is uniformly 
 smooth, and finally incorporate the vo- 
 latile oils. Other volatile oils or syn- 
 thetic perfumes may be used. 
 II. 
 
 Olive oil fl.oz. 16 
 
 Potassium hydrate av.oz. 4 
 
 Alcohol, water, each sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the caustic potash in 8 fluid- 
 ounces of water and warm the solution. 
 Also warm the oil on a water bath, add 
 the solution, and stir until saponification 
 
 is complete, meanwhile continuing the 
 heat. 
 
 The caustic potash for this prepara- 
 tion should be of U. S.. P. strength; if 
 it is weaker, more of it must be used 
 to cause saponification. 
 
 If a transparent preparation is de- 
 sired, add 8 fluidounces of alcohol to 
 the warm soap and continue heating 
 without stirring. 
 
 The soap may be perfumed like No. I. 
 
 III. 
 
 White castile soap av.oz. 16 
 
 Potassium carbonate av.oz. 4 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 8 
 
 Oil of lavender flowers. .. .fl. dr. 2 
 
 Oil of bergamot m. 30 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Cut the soap into fine pieces and 
 heat it with 2 pints of water on a water 
 bath until thoroughly softened, then 
 add the potassium carbonate, and con- 
 tinue the heat until the latter is dis- 
 solved. Occasionally add hot water to 
 make up for that lost by evaporation. 
 Then allow to cool somewhat, incorpor- 
 ate the oils, and then add enough water 
 to reduce to a suitable creamy consist- 
 ence. 
 
 Tar Shampoo Paste.- 
 Nos. I or II may be converted into 
 tar shampoo pastes by adding oil of 
 tar to the fixed oil before saponifica- 
 tion. 
 
 SHAMPOO POWDERS. 
 
 These are powdery mixtures which 
 are used for washing the hair and scalp. 
 They may be perfumed in any desired 
 manner. They may be dispensed in 
 small boxes or in envelopes, each one 
 to be sufficient for one shampoo, or 
 they may also be put up in 2 to 4-ounce 
 perforated screw-cap jars.

 HAIR-DRYING POWDER. 
 
 To dry the hair after washing and 
 to remove oil it is customary to dust 
 the hair with powdered orris root or 
 various mixtures containing orris root 
 which may be applied with a powder 
 puff. The powder may be allowed to 
 remain 10 or 15 minutes or, better, over 
 night, and then brushed out thoroughly. 
 The following are good formulas for 
 these powders : 
 I. 
 
 Orris root. 
 
 White corn meal, equal Darts of each. 
 
 Both should be in fine powder. 
 
 II. 
 
 Orris root av.oz. 2

 The first three ingredients should be 
 in fine powder, and all ingredients 
 should be well mixed. 
 III. 
 
 Wheat flour av.oz. 8 
 
 Orris root, powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Heat the flour without scorching un- 
 til perfectly dry, then mix intimately

 HAIR OILS. (Huiles Philocome.) 
 
 Hair oil may be prepared from any 
 of the bland, fixed, non-drying oils such 
 as olive, mustard, benne, rapeseed or 
 peanut oil, also from liquid petrolatum 
 (paraffin oil), or from a mixture of 
 castor oil and alcohol. These mixtures 
 must be rendered pleasantly odorous 
 by the addition of suitable perfume. 
 See under Perfumes for Hair Oils and 
 Pomades for different combinations of 
 oils suitable for perfuming these oils. 
 
 Frequently hair oil is colored red 
 by the use of alkanet root or its color-

 be colored yellow by means of cur- 
 cuma or brownish with annatto. 
 
 Hair oil in its usual yellow condition 
 is frequently dispensed under the name 
 "bear's oil"; if colored red it is often 
 known as "rose oil." 
 
 Any of the preparations mentioned

 Digest the olive oil or benne oil with 
 the burdock root for about one-half 
 hour at a moderate heat, then decant the 
 clear liquid, add the other oils and color, 
 if desired, with alkannin. Alkanet may 
 be employed instead of the latter and 
 may then be added to the burdock root 
 during digestion. 
 
 Some of the so-called "burdock root 
 hair oils" do not contain any burdock 
 root. 
 
 Macassar Oil. 
 True macassar oil is a fixed oil de- 
 rived from the seeds of an East Indian 
 plant, but this is a very scarce article 
 and probably valueless as a hair oil and 
 tonic. Various mixtures used for oiling 
 the hair have been sold under this name 
 and the following are current formulas 
 for such mixtures.

 COLORS FOR HAIR OILS AND 
 POMATUMS. 
 
 TTair oils and pomatums may be col- 
 ored fine red by digestion with alkanet 
 root which yields its coloring matter 
 readily to hot fats or oils. The degree 
 of color may be varied by using differ- 
 ent amounts of the root. Instead of 
 alkanet root, it is more convenient to 
 
 use alkannin, its coloring principle. It 
 is readily soluble in hot fats. . 
 
 A yellow color may be imparted to 
 hair pomades by digesting them with 
 powdered curcuma root or by adding 
 palm oil. Hair oils are best colored 
 yellow by digestion with curcuma. 
 
 A brown color may be imparted to 
 oils and pomades by digestion with an- 
 natto. 
 
 Besides the coloring substances men- 
 tioned, there are a number of anilines 
 that are suitable for coloring oils and 
 pomades. These are the kind known as 
 "oil-soluble anilines." 
 
 When alkanet, curcuma or annatto are 
 used for coloring, they should be re- 
 duced to coarse powder, then macerated 
 with the warmed or heated oil or pom- 
 ade until the desired tint is obtained, 
 stirring frequently, then straining (or 
 filtering if necessary), and finally adding 
 the perfume. 
 
 HAIR POMADES OR POMATUMS. 
 
 These preparations are made with va- 
 rious substances such as lard, beef mar- 
 row, cocoa butter, wax, cocoanut oil, 
 petrolatum, ceresin, wool-fat, castor oil, 
 olive oil, cottonseed oil, etc. To obtain 
 a good product the various fatty ingre- 
 dients must be in perfectly fresh condi- 
 tion. Most of the hair pomades as now 
 made consist of petrolatum, this being 
 so very cheap. 
 
 These fatty bodies should be rendered 
 pleasantly odorous by the addition of 
 perfumes or mixtures of various oils, 
 synthetic perfumes, etc. In some of the 
 formulas given below, the perfume is 
 mentioned; in such as specify no per- 
 fume, the scents or perfumes under the 
 preceding title may be employed. 
 
 Some formulas for hair pomades 
 mention water as an ingredient. This 
 is employed for cheapening purposes. 
 
 In combining the ingredients of pom- 
 ades, the less fusible fats, like wax or 
 spermaceti, should be melted first, the 
 lard, petrolatum, or fixed oil should then 
 be added, and the whole allowed to be-

 BANDOLINE. 
 
 This is a mucilaginous preparation 
 applied by ladies to the hair before 
 "frizzing" or curling, the object being 
 to cause the hair to remain longer in 
 curl. They may be either in powder or 
 liquid form. 
 
 Powders. 
 I. Bandoline in powder form is us- 
 ually powdered tragacanth perfumed by 
 trituration with suitable aromatic vola- 
 tile oils or synthetic perfume. In using, 
 the powder is mixed with water to a 
 suitably thick liquid, which is then ap- 
 plied to the hair.

 DANDRUFF REMEDIES. 
 
 Dandruff is known to medical men as 
 seborrhea capitis, although other condi- 
 tions produce similar results and are 
 benefited by the same treatment, among 
 these being dry eczema, psoriasis and 
 pityriasis capitis. It is an inflammation 
 of the sweat glands, characterized by 
 
984 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 rapid scaling of the upper layers of the 
 skin. The scales or crusts are so abun- 
 dant as to fill the hair as if with pow- 
 der and also to cover the shoulders. 
 Dandruff is always accompanied by 
 more or less itching or irritation, which 
 is more marked in summer time when 
 the sweat glands are most active. On 
 account of its infectious character, each 
 person should have his own hair brush 
 and comb, both at barber shop and at 
 home, as one member of a family af- 
 flicted with the affection may communi- 
 cate it by means of these implements to 
 all the other members of the family. 
 
 Dandruff urgently requires 'treatment, 
 as it will lead to great loss of hair and 
 permanent baldness. 
 
 Before beginning treatment for dand- 
 ruff, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse 
 the scalp and hair, also all brushes and 
 combs, with castile soap, green soap, 
 liquid soap, shampoo, or other prepara- 
 tion, to remove all the scales. Occa- 
 sionally the washing may have to be re- 
 peated, but too frequent washing of the 
 head is injurious. The use of fine combs 
 to scrape the scalp should not be coun- 
 tenanced, as this irritates the skin and 
 exposes it still more to the ravages of 
 the disease. With the use of some 
 dandruff remedies it is not necessary to 
 wash the head frequently, as they com- 
 bine detergent, or cleansing, and cura- 
 tive properties. 
 
 Favorite remedies for dandruff are 
 resorcin and sulfur, the former being 
 used in lotions, the latter in ointments 
 or pomades. These have the added ad- 
 vantage of being stimulants to the hair. 
 Other common ingredients in dandruff 
 remedies are chloral hydrate, salicylic 
 acid, corrosive sublimate, tannin, and 
 betanaphthol. These preparations may 
 be perfumed to suit, and the lotions may 
 be colored red, greenish, brown or yel- 
 low as may be desired. Red color may 
 be imparted with cudbear or carmine, 
 green with chlorophyll, brown with 
 madder or caramel, and yellow with 
 turmeric or saffron. 
 
 Lotions. 
 
 I. Dr. H. L. Pearson highly recom- 
 mends this treatment : 
 
 Wash the head thoroughly with tere- 
 bene soap (presumably other mild anti- 
 septic soap would serve equally well), 
 rinse well, and dry with a towel ; then 
 rub in a lotion composed of 
 
 Mercuric chlorid gr. 24

 Allow this to evaporate spontaneously, 
 
 and finally rub in a small quantity of an 
 
 application consisting of 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 190 
 
 Comp. tincture of benzoin. fl. dr. 2J/2 
 Olive oil, to make fl.oz. 16 
 
 This treatment should be carried out 
 daily for a month, then on alternate 
 days for 2 weeks. 
 
 The dandruff is said to disappear in 
 a short time, the hair again becoming 
 vigorous.

 If the hair is too dry, a small amount 
 
 of castor oil, about 2 fluidrams, may be 
 
 added to the above. 
 
 This is to be rubbed into the scalp 
 
 once a day. When dandruff ceases to 
 
 form, use once every other day for two 
 
 weeks, then once a week.

 to above the melting point of the wool- 
 fat and shake with the latter until well 
 mixed. Finally add enough of a mix- 
 ture of I part of alcohol and 6 of water 
 to make 64 fluidounces. 
 
 This is a milk-like liquid from which 
 the wool-fat separates as a cream-like 
 layer but which commingles readily with 
 the liquid on agitation.

 FOR BALDNESS AND LOSS OF 
 HAIR. 
 
 Falling-out of hair, technically called 
 alopecia, may be general (not confined 
 to spots), due to various acute diseases 
 such as typhoid fever, scarlet fever or 
 erysipelas. It is frequently congenital 
 (hereditary) and may be due to ad- 
 vancing age; it may be due to physical 
 weakness, nervous debility or severe 
 mental application. It is frequently pro- 
 duced by local causes such as dandruff, 
 pityriasis, etc., also to pressure of tight- 
 fitting hats which deprive the head and 
 hair of proper nutrition. If the loss of 
 hair is due to any local disease, this 
 must be cured first when probably other 
 treatment will not be required. By far 
 the most prolific cause of baldness is 
 dandruff. For dandruff remedies, see 
 article immediately preceding this one. 
 
 There is also a form of baldness 
 known as alopecia areata which mani- 
 fests itself in loss of hair in circular 
 spots, usually being most severe in the 
 central portion of the scalp. This dis- 
 ease is believed also to be of contagious 
 character. 
 
 Various methods of treatment for 
 alopecia or loss of hair have been of- 
 fered and what are believed to be the 
 best among these have been selected. 
 Besides the remedies mentioned, see also 
 those under the heading Hair Tonics. 
 
 I. Lassar's routine treatment for the 
 cure of baldness requires systematic at- 
 tention for a period of at least 6 to 8 
 weeks. The head is lathered thoroughly 
 with soap and hot water, preferably tar 
 soap, rinsing well with warm water and 
 then with cold water. This is to be 
 done daily at first but less often after- 
 wards. For washing long blonde hair, 
 the following mixture is recommended: 
 
 Potassium carbonate gr. 90 
 
 Sodium carbonate gr. 90 
 
 White castile soap, powder. av.oz. 1 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 15 
 
 After thoroughly washing and drying 
 the hair, moisten the roots of the hair 
 with a mixture of 
 
 Mercuric chlorid gr. 10 
 
 Cologne water fl.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 2 
 
 Rose water fl.oz. 12 
 
 Mercuric chlorid itself has the repu- 
 tation of promoting the growth of hair. 
 If there is itching, 15 minims of car- 
 bolic acid may be added to this mix- 
 ture. The following is then applied : 
 
 Thymol gr. 10 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 8 
 
 Or this : 
 
 Betanaphthol gr. 10 
 
 Absolute alcohol fl.oz. 8 
 
 After the hair has dried, this oint- 
 ment is rubbed in the roots of the hair : 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 35 
 
 Tincture of benzoin gr. 70 
 
 Oil of bergamot drops 20 
 
 Petrolatum av.oz. 4 
 
 Formerly a neat's-foot oil mixture 
 was advised, but pure neat's-foot oil is 
 not always obtainable. 
 
 Salicylic acid gr. 75 
 
 Tincture of benzoin fl.dr. 2 
 
 Neat's-foot oil fl.oz. 8 
 
 Every night the hair should be oiled 
 with a mixture of turpentine and wool- 
 fat containing 10% of the former, care 
 being taken to avoid undue irritation of 
 the skin, or with the following pomade: 
 
 Carbolic acid gr. 45 
 
 Peru balsam gr. 90 
 
 Sulfur av.oz. 1 
 
 Oil o f bergamot m. 20 
 
 Wool-fat, anhydrous av.oz. 5 
 
 This is to be diluted with water be- 
 fore use (amount not stated). 
 
 II. A French writer, Dr. Sabourand, 
 says the prime remedy to prevent 
 loss of hair is to avoid greasy accumu- 
 lation on the scalp by frequent washing 
 with soap containing little or no potash, 
 as this is irritating. The hair and scalp 
 should be rinsed thoroughly with warm 
 water, after which it should be dried 
 with a towel, with the aid of heat if

 of cantharides, but thinks pilocarpine,

 VII. Lactic acid has attained some 
 reputation as a hair grower, according 
 to some observers, growing hair even 
 on nearly bald spots. A 25% solution in 
 water is recommended. This is to be 
 rubbed into the scalp until it causes pus- 
 
 tulation. It is then to be discontinued 
 until the pustules disappear, then to be 
 used again. After the hair begins to 
 grow, use the following mixture: 
 
 Lactic acid . - fl.oz. 2 
 
 Quinine sulfate gr. 40 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 1 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 8 
 
 Apply daily to the hair as a dressing. 
 It may be perfumed to suit with essen- 
 tial oils or synthetics. The quinine and 
 glycerin are said to prevent extreme ir- 
 ritation. 
 
 HAIR TONICS. 
 
 The preparations known by the gen- 
 eral title of hair tonics are intended as 
 tonics to hair and scalp to prevent and 
 cure dandruff, baldness, dryness of the 
 hair, etc. 
 
 The preparations under the preceding 
 headings are also real hair tonics. 
 
 Some of these preparations contain 
 cinchona or quinine ; some contain sul- 
 fur and lead salts ; others contain fixed 
 oils like benne or cocoanut oil, and 
 others contain still other ingredients. 
 
 They are known by such titles as 
 "hair restorer," "hair restorative," "hair 
 invigorator," "hair vigor," "hair pro- 
 moter," "hair grower," "hair lotion," 
 "hair renewer," "hair wash," "hair reno- 
 vator," "hair balsam," etc. 
 
 The hair tonics of the market may be 
 divided into three classes : 1. Mixtures 
 of sulfur and glycerin, with or without 
 lead acetate, depending on whether or 
 not the preparation is to act as a dye 
 as well as a tonic. The glycerin serves 
 mainly to hold the sulfur in suspension, 
 which latter is credited with hair-tonic 
 properties and which in conjunction 
 with the lead forms black lead sulfid on 
 exposure to the air and light. (2) Di- 
 lute alcoholic solutions, with or without 
 glycerin or borax, containing" essential 
 oils and some kind of hair stimulant, 
 cantharides being the favorite, but cap- 
 sicum also being employed. (3) A third 
 class contains the constituents of cin- 
 chona and sometimes of nux vomica.

 formula No. IV under Quinine and Cin- 
 chona Hair Tonics, which see.

 Lead and Sulfur Hair-Color 
 Restorers. 
 
 These are the preparations that have 
 been sold in the past under .such names 
 as "hair promoters," "hair vigors," "hair 
 invigorators," "hair restorers (or restor- 
 atives)," etc. The sulfur and lead are 
 not only alleged to be hair tonics, but 
 act also as slow dyes or coloring agents, 
 darkening grayish hair, and in this man- 
 ner restoring its color. 
 
 The sulfur and lead combine upon 
 exposure to air and light to form black 
 lead sulfid. On account of the action 
 of light, these preparations should al- 
 ways be either in dark amber-colored 
 bottles or the container should be cov- 
 ered with a closely-adherent wrapper. 
 
 Lead preparations being all poisonous, 
 it would seem that the public should 
 be apprised of this fact. However, 
 cases of poisoning from the use of these 
 hair preparations are seemingly un- 
 known. 
 
 The lead in these preparations is usu- 
 ally in the form of the acetate but the 
 nitrate is equally serviceable. The sul- 
 fur is employed in the form of precipi- 
 tated or sublimed (or better, washed), 
 sulfur. It may also be in combination 
 with sodium hyposulfite. When this lat- 
 ter is added to the lead salt, a precipi- 
 tate of lead hyposulnte is formed which 
 must be redissolved in an excess of 
 the hyposulfite. The hyposulnte prep- 
 
 arations are therefore clear while the 
 sulfur preparations contain sulfur in 
 suspension and must be agitated befor? 
 use. 
 
 Other ingredients of these prepara- 
 tions are glycerin, which helps to keep 
 the sulfur in suspension, tincture of 
 cantharides, perfume, alcohol, water, 
 bay rum, rose water, etc. 
 
 These preparations should be applied 
 once or twice daily to the hair.

 LIME JUICE AND GLYCERIN. 
 
 This preparation was at one time a 
 popular one for the hair. Very singu- 
 larly it does not contain lime juice and 
 seldom glycerin, but is made with a 
 basis of lime water and oils, with oil of 
 lemon as the perfume. 
 
 The following formulas are offered:

 HAIR GLOSS. 
 
 Hair glosses are for the purpose of 
 giving a gloss and a smooth, soft ap- 
 pearance to the hair, glycerin or castor 
 oil being the main ingredient which is 
 dissolved in alcohol and perfumed with 
 essential oils or synthetic perfumes to 
 
 suit the taste and price. Besides the 
 preparations mention below, the mix- 
 tures known as brilliantines, which see, 
 are also used as hair glosses.

 HAIR DYES. (Mustache Dyes- 
 Whisker Dyes.) 
 
 It is a common practice to dye faded 
 or gray hair, or to, using a more polite 
 expression, "restore" them, by the use 
 of various liquid preparations. These 
 may be made with mineral agents as the 
 base but vegetable substances are used 
 also and latterly synthetic agents have 
 come into vogue. 
 
 Among the metallic substances used 
 are silver, lead, bismuth, copner, nickel, 
 mercury, etc., are used, any in fact 
 which will form a black or brown com- 
 pound in contact with a reagent. Sil- 
 ver is the most popular because it is 
 most effective and most expeditious. 
 Some of the metals are interdicted in. 
 Europe as being poisonous or deleterious, 
 including copper, lead, mercury, nickel, 
 and in some instances silver. Bismuth 
 preparations are, however, entirely non- 
 poisonous and may be used freely. 
 
 The vegetable dyes include walnut 
 shells, henna leaves, and cashew nuts, 
 but they are rather unsatisfactory as 
 compared with the metallic dves. 
 
 All metallic d-es require the use of 
 a second or mordanting agent to "fix" 
 the color such as pyrogallic acid or a 
 sulfite with silver, etc. Sometimes it 
 is possible to combine the dye and mor- 
 dant in one solution which then makes 
 a so-called one-bottle preparation where- 
 
992 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 as when the dye and mordant are sep- 
 arate, a two-bottle preparation is ob- 
 tained. 
 
 All dyes must be renewed from time 
 to time as the new portions of the hair 
 of course, still retain the former color. 
 
 The usual color desired is black, al- 
 though brown is also largely in de- 
 mand. The dyes that produce a black 
 color will produce a brown by appropri- 
 ate weakening or dilution. 
 
 Before using any dye, the hair should 
 be freed from grease by washing with 
 an alkaline carbonate or soap, removing 
 the latter by the abundant use of water, 
 subsequently drying thoroughly. 
 
 The dye should be distributed among 
 the hair by means of a tooth brush and 
 occasional combing with a new comb ; 
 contact with the scalp should be avoided. 
 
 Silver Hair Dyes. 
 
 Silver dyes may be the so-called one- 
 bottle or two-bottle preparations, the 
 latter consisting of a bottle of mor- 
 dant (pyrogallic or gallic acid or other 
 agent) and a bottle of silver solution. 
 The mordant is always applied to the 
 hair first. In the case of one-bottle prep- 
 arations, the single bottle is a solu- 
 tion of the silver salt. The mordanting 
 or darkening effect is obtained by ex- 
 posure of the hair to the sun. One bot- 
 tle preparations do not make so good 
 a color as the two-bottle ones. 
 
 I. Black or brown — 2-bottle : 
 A. 
 
 Silver nitrate dr. 4 
 
 Ammonia water sufficient 
 
 Distilled water, to make fl.oz. 4 
 
 Dissolve the silver nitrate in a por- 
 tion of the water, gradually add am- 
 monia water, stirring constantly, until 
 the brown turbidity produced has van- 
 ished and the liquid appears colorless, 
 then add the remainder of the water. 
 A large excess of ammonia should be 
 avoided as this tends to produce a 
 brownish dye. 
 
 B. 
 
 Pvrogallic acid dr. 1 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 4 
 
 Distilled water, to make. .. .fl.oz. 4 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 Before using this dye the hair should 
 be freed from grease by washing with 
 warm water containing sodium or po- 
 tassium carbonate, borax or soap, then 
 well rinsed with clear water to remove 
 all alkali, and finally dried thoroughly. 
 In using, apply solution B to the hair 
 w T ith a clean tooth brush, going care- 
 fully over every portion of the hair, 
 allow the latter to dry partially, then 
 apply solution A in the same manner, 
 using another clean tooth brush. 
 
 The above makes a black dye. To ob- 
 tain a brown dye the solution of pyro- 
 gallic acid should be made very weak, 
 about 20 grains to 4 ounces, and the 
 solution of silver nitrate should also 
 be reduced to one-half or one-quarter. 
 In fact, any shade of color may be ob- 
 tained by altering the strength of the 
 solutions. 
 
 Care should be taken to avoid stain- 
 ing the scalo. If a stain is made, it may 
 be removed with solution of sodium 
 hyposulfite. 
 
 II. Black or brown — 2-bottle : 
 
 Silver nitrate dr. 4 
 
 Ammonia water sufficient 
 
 Distilled water, to make fl.oz. 4 
 
 Dissolve the silver salt in a portion 
 of the water, add ammonia water, in 
 small amounts, with repeated agitation, 
 to just redissolve the precipitate first 
 formed, then add the remainder of the 
 water. 
 B.

 B. 
 
 Pyrogallic acid dr. 2 
 
 Acetic acid fl.dr. 6 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 4 l / 2 
 
 Apply the pyrogallic solution to the 
 hair with a tooth brush, taking care 
 not to wet the scalp. When partially 
 dry, apply the silver solution in the same 
 manner, using another brush. 
 
 This makes a black dye. For a brown 
 dye, decrease the amount of pyrogallic 
 acid; as little as one-half grain to the 
 fluidram is sometimes used. Sometimes 
 the acetic acid is omitted, and in most 
 of the commercial hair dyes diluted al- 
 cohol is used as a solvent of the acid. 
 Copper sulfate might possibly be sub- 
 stituted for the nitrate. 
 
 The use of the copper salt is to avoid 
 the dull reddish tint imparted to hair 
 by the use of silver nitrate alone. 
 
 IV. Black— 1 -bottle: 
 
 Silver nitrate dr. 2 
 
 Ammonia water fl.oz. 1 
 
 Lard oil fl.dr. 4 
 
 Distilled water, to make fl.oz. 8 
 
 Saponify the oil by shaking it with 
 the ammonia water; dissolve the silver 
 nitrate in the water, and add this to 
 the oil solution. Let the mixture stand 
 for some time with frequent agitation. 
 This liquid is to be applied to the hair 
 by means of a tooth brush, being care- 
 ful to apply it to all the hair and up to 
 the roots, then loosen up or shake out 
 the hair and expose to the sun which 
 brings out the color. Age seems to im- 
 prove the dyeing property of this prep- 
 aration. 
 
 Bismuth Hair Dyes. 
 
 While hair dyes made with silver, 
 copper, lead, mercury, nickel, etc., are 
 considered poisonous and some are for- 
 bidden in European countries, bismuth 
 dyes are known to be entirely harmless. 
 The objection to them is that they do 
 not operate so quickly and that the solu- 
 tions decompose on exposure to light 
 and air. They are also quite expensive. 
 They should therefore be kept in dark 
 bottles, well stoppered. They are pre- 
 ferred to make the light brown or so- 
 called chestnut color. 
 
 V. Brown or blonde — i-bottle:

 Solution of potassa, 10%. 
 
 Citric acid, each sufficient

 Mix the bismuth salt and glycerin 
 intimately by trituration, then heat on 
 a water-bath and gradually add to it 
 solution of potassa, under constant stir- 
 ring, until the bismuth salt is dissolved. 
 Then add concentrated solution of 
 citric acid until only a slight alkanity 
 remains. Now add water to make up 
 the 8 fluidounces. 
 
 This is to be applied by means of a 
 new tooth brush and comb. 
 
 Copper Hair Dyes. 
 
 Copper dyes are considered poison- 
 ous and in Germany and other Euro- 
 pean countries are forbidden for use 
 on living hair. They may be used on 
 wigs, switches, etc.

 gallic acid to 80 grains. 
 
 Iron Hair Dyes. 
 Iron being entirely non-poisonous has 
 been suggested as a basis for hair dyes 
 instead of silver, lead, copper, or mer- 
 cury. Iron dyes are, however, not as 
 satisfactory as those containing silver or 
 bismuth. Examples of iron dyes are 
 here given.

 The hair must be thoroughly washed 
 with solution A, dried and brushed, 
 once daily for three days; then solution 
 B should be applied on a small-toothed 
 comb, but must not be allowed to touch 
 the skin if A has done so, else a tem- 
 porary stain will result. Subsequently 
 both liquids may be used once daily,

 Lead Hair Dyes. 
 The lead dyes are considered poison- 
 ous and are usually not recommended.

 laws forbidding their use on human 
 beings. For formulas for these prepa- 
 rations, see Lead and Sulfur Hair-Color

 comb to evenly distribute the solu- 
 tion. After a short time, sponge the 
 hair with clean water, then brush them 
 with solution B until the manganese 
 color is discharged.

 Walnut Hair Oil and Dye. 
 Oils impregnated with the coloring 
 principles of walnut shells have been 
 recommended for dyeing the hair, thus 
 serving as a combined oil and dye. The 
 oil is to be applied daily, the hair ac- 
 quiring a dark brown tint. The follow- 
 ing are the best formulas :

 Henna Hair Dye. 
 
 The leaves of the henna, a Southern 
 Asiatic plant, have long been used by 
 Oriental women as a dye for the hair 
 and finger nails. One method of using 
 the leaves is to make a decoction with 
 boiling water in about the proportion 
 of 1 in 7, and to apply this uniformly 
 to the hair, after first washing the latter 
 to remove all grease. Owing to the 
 gummy character of the leaves, the hair 
 becomes disagreeably sticky after mak- 
 ing the application. The decoction spoils 
 readily but may be preserved for some 
 time by adding about 20% of alcohol, 
 which also precipitates a portion of the 
 gum. The leaves may also be extracted 
 with diluted alcohol, and this tincture 
 is also suitable as a dye. 
 
 This dye is entirely harmless and 
 may be used in any amount, but must 
 not be used so freely as to stain the 
 skin. It imparts to the hair a dark 
 brown or black color which is quite 
 lasting. 
 
 It is also used in the form of a pow- 
 der which is mixed with water and 
 applied "to the hair in the form of a 
 paste. This is allowed to remain over 
 night, and is washed off the next day 
 with water. 
 
 Oriental women are said to use henna 
 leaves in connection with the leaves 
 of the indigo plant, known as "reng." 
 The color may be varied by using differ- 
 ent proportions of reng and henna, the 
 more of the former that is used, the 
 darker will be the shade produced. 
 Synthetic Hair Dyes. 
 
 A number of substances or combina 
 tions of substances, of synthetic origin. 
 
996 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 most of them similar to photographic 
 developers, have been recommended of 
 late years for dyeing hair. As a rule 
 most of them are irritant to the skin 
 and produce eczemas and other cutane- 
 ous eruptions. They are therefor suit- 
 able only for dyeing furs, wigs, 
 switches, etc. One of the chemicals 
 most frequently mentioned in this con- 
 nection is paraphenylenediamine. Ac- 
 cording to the specifications of a Ger- 
 man patent it is to be used as fol- 
 lows : 
 A. 
 
 Paraphenylenediamine . .parts 20 
 
 Caustic soda -parts 14 
 
 Water parts 1000 
 
 B. 
 
 Hydrogen dioxid parts 3 
 
 Water parts 100 
 
 Cleanse the hair thoroughly so as to 
 remove all fatty matter, then apply solu- 
 tion A, allow the hair to dry partially, 
 and then apply solution B. In the 
 course of the day the hair assumes a 
 dark color, which becomes deeper upon 
 repeated applications of the dye. 
 
 The preparation known as Aureol, 
 also protected by a German patent, con- 
 sists of 
 
 Metol parts 10 
 
 Amidophenol hydro- 
 
 chlorid parts 3 
 
 Monamidophenylamine ..parts 6 
 
 Sodium sulfite parts 5 
 
 Diluted alcohol, to make. parts 1000 
 Dissolve the sulfite in the alcohol 
 and all the other ingredients. • 
 
 In using this dye the hair should 
 first be washed with soda solution or 
 soap, rinse thoroughly with clear water, 
 allowed to dry partially, then with a 
 fine-tooth comb apply this liquid pre- 
 viously mixed with an equal propor- 
 tion of a 3% solution of hydrogen per- 
 oxid. In the course of 2 or 3 hours the 
 hair will assume a dark-brown color 
 which can be increased to black by re- 
 peated applications of the dye. 
 
 A German patent has also been is- 
 sued for a hair dye which is said to be 
 "relatively" non-poisonous and which 
 
 does not irritate the skin. The hair is 
 first treated with a dilute alcoholic, 
 slightly alkaline solution of naphthy- 
 lendiamine, and then washed with an 
 oxidizing solution. The result is a 
 blonde or light brown tint, which re- 
 sists the influence of light, or water and 
 of the substances ordinarily used in 
 washing the hair. 
 
 Golden Hair Coloring. 
 To bleach the hair, hydrogen peroxid 
 only is used at the present time. Be- 
 fore using it the hair should be freed 
 from grease and dirt by washing thor- 
 oughly with soap and water containing 
 a small amount of ammonia water. 
 Dry the hair partially, then apply the 
 peroxid by means of a sponge or in 
 any other convenient manner. Comb 
 the hair out so as to distribute the 
 bleach evenly through the hair and to 
 expose the latter quite thoroughly to the 
 air. If the shade obtained is not light 
 enough, repeat once daily for several 
 days till the desired tint is obtained. 
 The color obtained depends not only 
 upon the frequency with which the 
 bleach is used but also upon the con- 
 stitution of the hair, to which also the 
 natural color of the hair is due. Red 
 hair is but little affected by the bleach 
 because of the small proportion of iron 
 present ; black hair is affected the most. 
 
 Hair Dye in Ointment Form. 
 
 According to Gawaloski, an effective 
 hair dye may be made by washing fresh- 
 ly precipitated silver oxid with alcohol, 
 and making this into an ointment with 
 any suitable vehicle. This ointment is to 
 be rubbed into the hair at night, and 
 in the morning washed out with a weak 
 alcoholic solution of pyrogallic acid and 
 potassa. After a few minutes exposure 
 to the light, wash the hair with water, 
 and apply a little oil. 
 BRILLIANTINES. 
 
 These are preparations intended for 
 application to the mustache, beard or to 
 make them appear glossy. They are 
 therefore similar to the preparations 
 
HAIR AND SCALP PREPARATIONS. 
 
 997 
 
 called Hair Glosses, which see. They 
 consist of a mixture of alcohol, fixed 
 oils or glycerin (or both together), and 
 some perfuming agent. There are two 
 varieties, the separating and the non- 
 separating, the former separating on 
 standing into two layers. The cause 
 of the separation is the presence of fixed 
 oil other than castor oil which is not 
 soluble in alcohol or alcoholic liquids; 
 the presence of glycerin and possibly 
 of water also contribute to the. separa- 
 tion. The non-separating kind consists 
 of castor oil or glycerin in alcoholic 
 solution. 
 
 The perfume is an important con- 
 sideration. It may be any suitable com- 
 bination of essential oils or synthetic 
 perfumes. The formulas under Per- 
 fumes for Hair Oils are excellent for 
 this purpose. Or instead of alcohol and 
 tssential oils in the mixture, a good 
 handkerchief extract may be used. Too 
 much perfume in the mixture is unde- 
 sirable. 
 
 If a colored preparation is desired, it 
 may be tinted yellow with tincture of 
 saffron or curcuma or reddish with al- 
 kanet root of alkannin.

 STICK MUSTACHE POMADE. 
 (Stick Pomatum — Cosmetique.) 
 
 For a formula suitable as a basis for 
 these preparations see under Grease 
 Paints. The fatty combination men- 
 tioned when uncolored forms white 
 cosmetic, when colored with burnt um- 
 ber, brown cosmetics, and when colored 
 with lampblack or animal charcoal, black 
 cosmetic. The coloring matter should 
 be rubbed to a perfectly smooth paste 
 before adding to the remainder of the 
 fatty matter. The mixture may be 
 colored mildly with any suitable essen- 
 tial oil or synthetic perfume, or with 
 any of the combinations mentioned un- 
 der Perfumes for Hair Oils. 
 
 After the mixture has been melted 
 and colored and perfumed if desired- 
 it should be allowed to cool to near the 
 congealing point, and then poured into 
 well-chilled molds of the proper di- 
 mensions. After the sticks have solidi- 
 fied, they should be removed from the 
 molds, and wrapped in oiled paper or 
 tin-foil, after which they may be en- 
 closed in a fancy wrapper. 
 
 Instead of a portion of the fatty mat- 
 ter and then adding perfume, flower 
 pomades may be used as in the fol- 
 lowing: 
 
 White wax av.oz. 8 
 
 Suet av.oz. 8 
 
 Tuberose pomade av.oz. 4 
 
 Jasmine pomade av.oz. 4

 HUNGARIAN MUSTACHE PO- 
 MADE. (Hungarian Mustache 
 Wax — Pommade Hongroise.) 
 
 This is a mixture of gum, soap, wax 
 or spermaceti, and water, with perfume 
 and coloring matter. It is in the form 
 of a sticky or tenacious paste which, 
 when applied to the end of the mus- 
 tache, retains the latter in extended 
 fashion, a la Napoleon III. 
 
 It may be left uncolored, or it may 
 be colored brown with umber or black 
 with lampblack like stick mustache, the 
 coloring matter being first rubbed up 
 with a portion of melted wax or the 
 glycerin or water before adding to the 
 other ingredients. 
 
 Owing to the fact that it will become, 
 hard and dry when exposed to the at- 
 mosphere, it must be preserved and dis- 
 pensed in well-stoppered wide-mouth 
 bottles or in collapsible tubes.

 SHAVING PREPARATIONS. 
 
 Two kinds are described here, shav-

 manufacture of soaps requires special 
 ability and experience and will not be 
 discussed. 
 
 Creams or Pastes. 
 
 These are merely soft soaps and also 
 require the special ability of a soap- 
 maker to prepare them. The follow- 
 ing formulas are well recommended:

 Lard av.oz. 14 
 
 Caustic potassa av.oz. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 6 
 
 Perfume to suit 
 
 Melt the lard in a porcelain vessel 
 over a salt water bath; dissolve the 
 potassa in the water, and run the lye, 
 thus formed, very slowly into the melted 
 grease, stirring thoroughly all the time, 
 until saponification is complete. 
 
 A pearly appearance can be given to 
 the "cream," which is simply a soft 
 soap, by long trituration in a mortar 
 with a little alcohol, say 4 fluidrams to 
 each pound of soap. 
 
 Bitter almond oil may be used as a 
 perfume for the "cream." Only a very 
 minute proportion is required. A few 
 drops dissolved in the alcohol used as 
 above will suffice. 
 
 Glycerin should be added to this 
 cream to retain it in a permanently soft 
 condition.

 DEPILATORIES. (^Hair Removers.) 
 
 Depilatories are preparations for re- 
 moving hair. They are usually in the 
 form of powder, which should be in 
 impalpable condition. The main or ac- 
 tive ingredient is usually sulfid or sulf- 
 hydrate of one of the alkalies or alka- 
 line earths, although the older depila- 
 tories were made with caustic alkalies. 
 In using these depilatories they should 
 be made into thin paste with water, 
 applied in a thin layer to the skin, al- 
 lowed to remain a few minutes and then 
 scraped off with a blunt instrument, 
 when the hair will have softened suf- 
 ficiently to remove without pain. 
 
 All these preparations give out the 
 disagreeable odor of sulfuretted hydro- 
 gen, strontium sulfid least so. These 
 preparations readily lose sulfid and un- 
 less tolerably fresh they are of little 
 value for the removal of hair. 
 
 Too long contact of depilatories with 
 the skin should be avoided, as they are 
 liable to cause erosions and even ugly 
 sores. To avoid any bad after-effect, 
 the skin should be thoroughly cleansed 
 and then anointed with a bland oil. 
 
 These preparations are used mainly 
 for ladies for the removal of hair from 
 the face. In the Orient women use 
 them also to remove hair from other 
 portions of the body as the axillae and 
 pubis. The longer hair should be cut 
 off with a scissors before applying the 
 depilatory. 
 
 Besides the sulfids, other preparations 
 are used as depilatories, such as iodin 
 in combination with collodion or sodium 
 ethylate but the sulfids are the safest 
 and most satisfactory for ordinary use. 
 
 I. Prepare sulfuretted baryta (bar- 
 ium sulfid) by making heavy spar (nat- 
 ural barium sulfate) and charcoal into 
 
 a stiff paste by means of linseed oil, 
 forming this mass into cylindrical rolls 
 and subjecting it in a crucible to the 
 heat of a coal fire. The dark gray coke, 
 after pulverizing, is then made up as 
 follows : 
 
 Crude sulfuretted bartya. .parts 2 
 
 Zinc oxid part 1 
 
 Starch part 1 
 
 With the aid of water this powder 
 is converted into a soft paste and ap- j 
 plied to a hairy skin in a layer as thick 
 as a straw. After drying (about ten 
 minutes), the pellicle is scraped off with 
 a paper knife, or similar blunt instru- 
 ment, and with it the hair. The face 
 should be washed clean and anointed 
 with some bland oil. 
 
 Ordinary barium sulfid may be used 
 in place of the sulfuretted bartya. The 
 zinc oxid may be omitted if desirecA 
 II. Another method of using bariun 
 sulfid is as follows : 
 
 Soap, powder dr. 1 
 
 Talcum dr. 7 
 
 Wheat flour dr. 7 
 
 In using, mix one teaspoonful of the 
 powder into a paste with 3 teaspoon- 
 fuls of water, and apply to the parts 
 with an ordinary shaving brush in a 
 moderately thick and even layer. After 
 four or five minutes the parts should 
 be moistened with a sponge, when after 
 another five minutes, the hair can be 
 removed by washing off the mass. 
 
 For the success of a depilatory pow- 
 der containing barium sulfid it is highly 
 important that the sulfid be as fresh as 
 possible and it must not have become 
 oxidized by exposure to air. 
 
 III. Calcium sulfid, also used as a 
 depilatory, may be made by heating a 
 mixture of 10 parts of finelv powdered 
 lime with 9 parts of sulfur, contained in 
 a crucible, to a low red heat. Then mix 
 as follows: 
 
 Calcium sulfid (prepared 
 
 as above) parts 2 
 
 Zinc oxid part 1 
 
 Starch part 1 
 
 Reduce all to fine powder and mix 
 
HAIR AND SCALP PREPARATIONS. 
 
 1001 
 
 well. A small amount of aromatic 
 oils, such as lemon and peppermint, may- 
 be incorporated with this powder to 
 disguise its odor. This should be kept 
 in well-stoppered bottles, as like other 
 sulfids, it is readily decomposed by 
 the atmosphere. 
 
 In using this make a paste with water, 
 apply lightly to the skin, leave for about 
 10 minutes, then remove with water. 
 
 IV. Calcium sulfhydrate is prepared 
 for use as a depilatory in the following 
 manner: Take 2 parts of freshly- 
 slaked lime from which the gritty parti- 
 cles have been removed and mix it 
 with 3 parts of water. Through this 
 pass a stream of sulfuretted hydrogen 
 which may be made in the usual man- 
 ner, i. e., from iron sulfid and sulfuric 
 acid. A pasty, bluish-green mixture is 
 obtained which is non-caustic and serves 
 well as a depilatory. It should be pre- 
 served in wide-mouthed amber-colored, 
 well-stoppered bottles as the carbon 
 dioxid of the air decomposes it quickly. 
 It is to be applied in a thin layer to 
 the skin by means of a satpula or spoon 
 handle. After 5 minutes, remove it 
 with the aid of tepid water and a towel, 
 using gentle friction. 
 
 This preparation is practically the 
 same as the one known as Boettger's 
 and Martin's depilatory. 
 
 V. According to the specifications of 
 a German patent, sulfuretted calcium 
 may be employed in this form: Make 
 a mixture of hydrated lime with a 5 to 
 25% sugar solution and into this pass 
 a stream of sulfuretted hydrogen. If 
 properly prepared an almost dry mass 
 is obtained which should be mixed with 
 talcum so that the mixture contains 4 
 to 6% of sulfid. In using, make into a 
 paste with water, apply this lightly to 
 the skin, allow to remain for 5 or 10 
 minutes, then remove by washing gently 
 with water. 
 
 VI. Another sulfid used by Oriental 
 
 women is orpiment or arsenic sulfid in 
 
 the following form : 
 
 Quicklime parts 10 
 
 Starch parts 6 
 
 Orpiment part 1 
 
 This is to be mixed into paste with 
 
 water and applied like the preceding 
 
 preparations. 
 
 VII. Another form of depilatory is 
 the following: 
 
 Tincture of turpentine m. 50 
 
 Oil of turpentine m. 100 
 
 Castor oil fl.dr. 2 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 5 
 
 Collodion, to make fl.oz. 4 
 
 In using, apply daily for several days, 
 after which the film is removed, bring- 
 ing the hair with it without causing 
 pain. 
 
 VIII. Sodium ethylate solution is 
 also advised as a depilatory but it is so 
 caustic in action that the greatest care 
 should be exercised in its use and then 
 it had best be used under the direction 
 of a physician. The method of prepar- 
 ing it according to the British Pharma- 
 copoeia is as follows : 
 
 Metallic sodium, clean 
 
 and bright gr. 23 
 
 Absolute alcohol fl.oz. 1 
 
 Cautiously dissolve the sodium in the 
 alcohol contained in a flask, the latter 
 being kept cool by a stream of cold 
 water. 
 
 The sodium must be added in very 
 small bits. 
 
 The solution should be recently pre- 
 pared, as it attracts moisture from the 
 air which decomposes it. 
 
 IX. Still another depilatory is 
 Unna's Depilating Stick which is made 
 by fusing 9 parts of rosin with 1 of 
 beeswax. These are used like seal- 
 ing wax; one end is softened by heat 
 (but not hot enough to burn the skin) 
 and is pressed gently upon the hairy 
 skin and when cooled is jerked away, 
 bringing the hairs with it.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 TOOTH AND MOUTH PREPARA- 
 TIONS. 
 
 Tooth preparations or dentifrices in- 
 clude powders, creams, pastes, soaps and 
 liquids. These will be considered in de- 
 tail under the appropriate headings. 
 
 TOOTH POWDERS. 
 
 The customary ingredients are chalk 
 (usually precipitated, sometimes pre- 
 pared), orris root, myrrh, cuttle-fish 
 bone, pumice stone, sodium bicarbonate, 
 magnesium carbonate, soap, sugar, sac- 
 charin, menthol, eucalyptol, thymol, and 
 other antiseptics, essential oils, coloring 
 matters, etc. All the solids must be re- 
 duced to very fine powder, must be mix- 
 ed intimately together and with the li- 
 quid ingredients (volatile oils, carbolic 
 acid, etc.), and the whole must be sifted 
 through a very fine sieve. It will be of 
 advantage to pass the powder repeatedly 
 through the sieve. 
 
 The principal ingredient, the one that 
 usually forms the bulk of the product, is 
 precipitated chalk. This acts as an abra- 
 sive or cleansing and polishing agent 
 and is assisted in this action by cuttle- 
 fish bone or pumice stone if these are 
 present. These latter two substances 
 are considered too gritty for use in 
 tooth preparations and are now usually 
 omitted. Even precipitated chalk, on 
 account of its crystalline character, is 
 considered by some dentists as being too 
 harsh on the tooth enamel and is fre- 
 quently replaced by prepared chalk, 
 which is soft and amorphous. Other 
 substances now used as substitutes for 
 precipitated chalk are sugar of milk and 
 kieselguhr, as well as other white or 
 light-colored clays. Sugar of milk is 
 the basis of the so-called soluble tooth 
 powders. Kieselguhr and other clays 
 are the most modern ingredients of 
 tooth powders, and when purchased in 
 fairly large quantities are cheapen even 
 than chalk. 
 
 Soap is another important ingredient 
 of tooth powders and may be present to 
 
 the extent of 5 to 20%. It causes the 
 powder to foam during use and adds to 
 the detergent properties of the combina- 
 tion, hence it is seldom omitted. 
 
 Magnesium carbonate is sometimes 
 added to tooth powders in the propor- 
 tion of 1 to 5% to impart lightness and 
 bulk but is not really necessary. 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate is added in small 
 amounts to powders to increase the alka- 
 linity. It is a mild soluble alkali, ren- 
 dering the secretions of the mouth tem- 
 porarily alkaline and thus warding off 
 the deposition of tartar. However, chalk 
 and magnesium carbonate are sufficiently 
 alkaline and sodium bicarbonate does 
 not add to the pleasant taste of the 
 powder. The same remarks will also 
 apply to the use of borax in tooth pow- 
 ders, although this substance is more 
 agreeable to the taste. 
 
 Sugar and saccharin are used as 
 sweetening agents. The former is ob- 
 jected to as being fermentable and if 
 left in the teeth may set up a fermenta- 
 tion. Saccharin is not so pleasant a 
 sweetener but it is strongly antiseptic. 
 It may be used in the proportion of 
 about j/io%. Milk sugar has also been 
 recommended as a sweetening agent in- 
 stead of cane sugar. 
 
 Charcoal was formerly a favorite in- 
 gredient of tooth powders on account 
 of supposed deodorant properties but it 
 acts too harshly on the tooth enamel and 
 is now usually omitted. It frequently 
 lodged between the teeth and discolored 
 them. It was al:o objectionable on ac- 
 count of the color of the powder ob- 
 tained. 
 
 Orris root is a favorite ingredient of 
 tooth powders. It is pleasant in taste 
 and it aids in disguising the taste of the 
 soap and chalk. 
 
 Myrrh was formerly largely used in 
 tooth powders but its taste is not agree- 
 able. 
 
 Acids, except boracic, carbolic or sali- 
 cylic acid, should never be used in tooth 
 powders or other tooth preparations, 
 notwithstanding that formulas for acid 
 
TOOTH AND MOUTH PREPARATIONS. 
 
 1003 
 
 tooth powders have been published and 
 have even been recognized by pharma- 
 copeias. 
 
 Tannin or tannin-containing drugs is 
 sometimes added in small amount to 
 powders for the astringent action on the 
 gums. 
 
 Tooth powders are frequently colored 
 though just as often they are left un- 
 colored, provided they are white or near- 
 ly so. They are often colored a rose 
 tint by the addition of 10 to 20 grains of 
 carmine to the pound. This should be 
 rubbed to a fine powder with the sugar 
 or other gritty ingredient or, in the ab- 
 sence of this, with a small portion of 
 the chalk, before adding the other in- 
 gredients. Or the carmine may be rub- 
 bed to a paste with ammonia water, then 
 incorporated with the remaining ingredi- 
 ents, in the meantime allowing the am- 
 monia to evaporate. Tooth powders may 
 also be colored a rose or pink tint with 
 Armenian bole or rose pink. They may 
 also be colored other tints, such as green 
 with chlorophyll. In the formulas given 
 in this book the coloring matter may be 
 added or it may be omitted, as may be 
 desired. 
 
 Among the antiseptic substances used 
 in tooth powders are boracic acid, thy- 
 mol, menthol, salol, eucalyptol, beta- 
 naphtol, camphor, carbolic acid, and 
 flavoring oils. The boracic acid, thymol, 
 salol, menthol and camphor should be in 
 very fine powder before being incorpor- 
 ated with the other ingredients and they 
 should be mixed intimately with the lat- 
 ter. Intimate mixture will also apply to 
 the carbolic acid and other liquids. 
 
 The substances used for flavoring pur- 
 poses should include the essential oils 
 used for flavoring purposes rather than 
 the ones for perfumes, such as oils of 
 wintergreen, peppermint, cassia, lemon, 
 orange, clove, sassafras, rose, etc. The 
 favorites are wintergreen, peppermint 
 and cassia, but more particularly the 
 first two. Enough of these should be 
 used to leave a pungent, cooling and 
 
 cleanly feeling in the mouth, say about 
 2 to 4 fluidrams of peppermint or win- 
 tergreen oil to the pound or about one- 
 half as much oil of cassia as this is 
 more pungent. Camphor, carbolic acid, 
 menthol, thymol, eucalyptol, orris and 
 myrrh are also to be ranked as flavors. 
 Combinations of different oils are fre- 
 quently used. In the formulas given be- 
 low the flavors may be changed to suit. 
 
 The most modern ingredients of tooth 
 powders are the oxygen-yielding com- 
 pounds including sodium perborate and 
 calcium and magnesium peroxids. Cal- 
 cium peroxid is known by the names 
 calox and gorite. These substances are 
 added to tooth powders in the propor- 
 tion of 2 to 4%, otherwise the tooth 
 powder is compounded in the usual man- 
 ner. These powders when moistened 
 with water yield hydrogen peroxid, 
 which of course readily parts with its 
 oxygen and acts as a bleaching agent 
 and disinfectant. These powders are 
 therefore especially valuable when the 
 teeth are discolored from decay or from 
 smoking, restoring them to their original 
 whitness and stopping the decay. 
 
 The name given varies according to 
 composition and according to the fancy 
 of the maker. It may be called "myrrh 
 tooth powder," "saponaceous tooth pow- 
 der," "camphorated tooth powder," 
 "charcoal tooth powder," "thymol tooth 
 powder," "carbolated tooth powder," 
 "coral tooth powder," "pearl tooth pow- 
 der," "rose tooth powder," "antiseptic 
 tooth powder," "salol tooth powder," 
 "violet tooth powder," "aromatic tooth 
 powder," "Imperial tooth powder," 
 "crown tooth powder," etc. In each 
 case, the word "dentifrice" may be sub- 
 stituted for "tooth powder." 
 
 The name should be one easily re- 
 membered. The container should be at- 
 tractive and of such a form or shape 
 that the preparation is of easy access. 
 The label should be plain, not crowded, 
 as everybody has a knowledge of the 
 uses of a tooth preparation.

 Camphorated Tooth Powder. 
 
 Any of the preceding tooth powders 
 may be converted into a camphorated 
 powder by replacing the oils or other 
 flavoring substances with camphor gum. 
 This should be reduced to fine powder 
 by trituration in a mortar, first moisten- 
 ing with a few drops of alcohol or 
 chloroform, then incorporating the other 
 ingredients, mixing thoroughly, and fi- 
 nally passing through a fine sieve. The 
 following formulas may also be used :

 Carbolated Tooth Powder. 
 
 This may be made like camphorated 
 tooth powder, adding about 2 fluidrams 
 of liquefied carbolic acid to the pound 
 of powder. As an antiseptic in tooth 
 powders, carbolic acid is no longer es- 
 teemed, there being so many other better 
 ones, and its taste is objectionable.

 Myrrh Tooth Powder. 
 XIX. Myrrh is highly esteemed by 
 some as an ingredient in tooth powders 
 but is objected to on account of its 
 after-taste. Ordinary salt disguises the 
 taste and is itself an excellent ingredient 
 of tooth powders.

 Oxygenated Tooth Powder. 
 As stated in the preliminary remarks, 
 oxygen-yielding substances, such as so- 
 dium perborate or calcium or magne- 
 sium peroxid are added to tooth pow- 
 ders for their bleaching and disinfecting 
 properties. On contact with water, hy- 
 
1006 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 drogen dioxid is formed, and then oxy- 
 gen is liberated in the nascent form. 
 These substances may be added to the 
 preceding powders in the proportion of 
 about 4' to 6%, or the following formu- 
 las may be used :

 magnesium peroxid. 
 Potassium Chlorate Tooth Powder. 
 XXII. Unna recommends the use of 
 potassium chlorate for the teeth, espe- 
 cially in the form of paste. The follow- 
 ing powders also contain it : 
 
 Corn meal .« av.oz. 10 
 
 Potassium chlorate av.oz. \Y 2 
 
 Borax av.oz. 1 
 
 Oil of wintergreen m. 20 
 
 Oil of peppermint m. 20 
 
 All the ingredients should be in very 
 fine powder before mixing. Then tritu- 
 rate the borax and the oils with about 
 half the corn meal until well mixed ; on 
 a paper, lightly mix the potassium chlor- 
 ate with the remainder of the corn meal 
 by means of a wooden or horn spatula. 
 Carefully mix the whole together and 
 pass through a fine sieve. 
 
 The silica in the seed-coats of the 
 corn acts as an abrasive. Either white 
 or yellow corn meal may be used but the 
 former is of course to be preferred.

 Saponaceous Tooth Powder. 
 Most of the tooth powders contain 
 soap but a tooth powder properly desig- 
 nated as saponaceous should have a 
 large proportion of soap like the follow- 
 ing: 
 XXVII. 
 White castile soap, powder, .av.oz. 8 
 
 Precipitated chalk av.oz. 4 
 
 Magnesium carbonte av.oz. 2

 Rub the camphor and thymol together 
 in a mortar, and warm gently so as to 
 render the mixture liquid; then add the 
 chalk in small portions at a time, re- 
 serving about 1 av. ounce; next add the 
 other ingredients, the perfumes being 
 first separately rubbed with the remain- 
 der of the chalk.

 CAMPHORATED CHALK. 
 
 This is a refreshing and harmless 
 dentifrice. It should be kept in well- 
 
 stoppered containers to avoid loss of 
 camphor by evaporation. 
 
 Various formulas have been given for 
 it, varying in the proportion of the in- 
 gredients. The following are used : 
 I. 
 
 Camphor av.oz. 1 
 
 Precipitated chalk av.oz. 9 
 
 Triturate the camphor to powder with 
 a small quantity of alcohol, gradually 
 incorporate the chalk, and pass through 
 a fine sieve.

 TOOTH CREAMS AND PASTES. 
 
 These preparations differ in consist- 
 ence, the former being rather thin, the 
 latter being a rather hard mass. The 
 former are dispensed in collapsible 
 tubes, the latter in white or opal jars. 
 Both creams and pastes may be pro- 
 duced from tooth powders by the addi- 
 tion of sufficient glycerin, honey or sim- 
 ple syrup, the first mentioned being pre- 
 ferred on account of its antiseptic prop- 
 erty which prevents the preparation 
 from spoiling. The creams are usually 
 made by the use of glycerin, these re- 
 quiring more of the diluting agent than 
 the pastes. Creams also differ from 
 pastes in almost invariably containing 
 soap, which is usually incorporated in 
 the powdered condition. In practice, 
 these distinctions between tooth creams 
 and pastes are not always strictly fol- 
 lowed out, most of the so-called pastes 
 dispensed in tubes being really creams. 
 
 Most of the remarks made regarding 
 tooth powders will also apply to tooth 
 creams and pastes. Precipitated (or 
 prepared) chalk is the main ingredient, 
 which may be replaced by kieselguhr, 
 though not with milk sugar. Soap is a 
 necessary ingredient, and orris, pumice 
 stone, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium 
 carbonate and other common ingredients 
 of the powders also enter into the com- 
 position of creams and pastes. These 
 
1008 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 may also be made antiseptic, sweetened, 
 flavored and colored like the powders. 
 The oxygen-yielding compounds are not 
 suitable for use in tooth creams and 
 pastes as they decompose in the presence 
 of moisture. 
 
 As in the case of tooth powders, the 
 solid ingredients should be reduced to 
 very fine powder, be well mixed, and 
 then passed through a fine sieve, after 
 which the "massing" substance (glyce- 
 rin, etc.) may be added. The powder 
 must be thoroughly incorporated with 
 the "massing" liquid, which may be ac- 
 complished by beating in a large mortar 
 like making a pill mass. Or, for large 
 quantities a bread mixer, putty" machine 
 or other apparatus may be employed. 
 
 As regards the "massing" agent, glyc- 
 erin is more suitable than honey and the 
 latter more so than simple syrup, but 
 glycerin is objectionable because it is 
 liable to separate from the mixture and 
 ooze out from the container and over 
 the label. A better "massing" agent is 
 glycerite of starch or a glycero-gelatin 
 mixture, to which saccharin may be add- 
 ed to intensify the sweetness produced 
 by the glycerin. The following "mass- 
 ing" fluid may be used with any mix- 
 ture of powders. 
 
 Gelatin dr. i 
 
 Water fl.oz. 2 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 6 
 
 Dissolve the gelatin in the water by 
 the aid of a gentle heat and add the 
 glycerin. 
 
 To make a soft cream more of this 
 liquid must be used than if a hard paste 
 is to be prepared. To fill collapsible 
 tubes with tooth cream, a large glass or 
 hard rubber syringe may be used, or for 
 large quantities, a so-called sausage- 
 stuffing machine may be employed. 
 
 Flavors. 
 The flavoring for tooth creams may 
 be oil of peppermint or of wintergreen 
 or any of the combinations directed for 
 tooth powders. Or the following com- 
 binations will prove acceptable : 
 
 Oil of eucalyptus m. 6o 
 
 Oil of peppermint m. 30 
 
 Oil of rose geranium m. 30 
 
 Oil of clove m. 30

 tifrice" may in each instance be substi- 
 tuted, if desired, for the word "tooth" 
 or for the phrase "tooth cream" or 
 "tooth paste."

 Also soak the gelatin in half the wa- 
 ter, previously heated, until thoroughly 
 softened. Dissolve the soap in the re- 
 mainder of the water by the aid of 
 heat, stirring frequently, and replacing, 
 from time to time, the water lost by 
 evaporation. Mix the gelatin and soap 
 solutions and incorporate with the chalk 
 mixture. If a soft cream for collapsible 
 tubes is desired, use 19 or 20 fluidounces 
 of the "massing" mixture and if a hard 
 paste for jars is wanted, use only 12 
 fluidounces of the "massing" mixture, 
 in which case an especially thorough 
 beating in a mortar will be necessary. 
 
 The preparation may be colored either 
 pink or dark red if desired by the addi- 
 tion of cochineal coloring or solution of 
 carmine of the N. F. 
 
 The soap used should be the fresh 
 (moist) kind, which may be grated from

 TOOTH SOAPS. 
 
 It is not likely that very many phar- 
 macists will care to undertake the man- 
 ufacture of tooth soap as this requires 
 the experience of a professional soap 
 maker. However, a few hints and for- 
 mulas will not be amiss. Tooth soaps 
 partake of the general character of tooth 
 creams and pastes but are much harder. 
 They may be put up in the form of 
 round sticks or flat cakes like camphor

 ice. These may be wrapped in oiled 
 paper or tin-foil. Or the soap may be 
 dispensed in flattened tin boxes. In us- 
 ing, the moistened brush is first rubbed 
 against the stick or cake. 
 
 The composition of tooth soap is 
 largely like that of a tooth paste but 
 must contain at least 20% or soap. Flav- 
 oring, coloring and antiseptic agents 
 must be added as in the case of creams 
 and powders. The "massing" agent had 
 best contain considerable alcohol so that 
 the product will dry harder and more 
 quickly.

 mass into molds, and, after removing 
 the cakes, brush the latter over with 
 tincture of benzoin containing a little 
 oil of peppermint. When dry, cover 
 with tin-foil. The mass may also be 
 pressed into tin boxes and allowed to 
 dry in the latter.

 TOOTH WASHES. (Liquid Denti- 
 frices.) 
 
 These are preparations made from 
 quillaja or soap, and are colored and 
 flavored. They replace the tooth pow- 
 ders, pastes, creams and soaps. 
 
 They may be known by such titles as 
 "eudonto," "quillaja tooth wash," "kal- 
 liodont," "odontine," "saponaceous tooth 
 wash," "aromatic dentifrice," "dento- 
 line," "antiseptic liquid dentifrice," "al- 
 mond tooth essence," "Oriental tooth 
 wash," "carbolated tooth wash," "cam- 
 phorated tooth wash," etc. 
 
 See also under heading Mouth 
 Washes. 
 
 Saponaceous Tooth "Washes. 
 
 These consist of a solution of soap, 
 usually white castile, sometimes soft 
 soap U. S. P., in a mixture of alcohol 
 and water, the whole being flavored like 
 the powders and creams. The prepara- 
 tions should be filtered clear and bright 
 before bottling. Before filtering they 
 should be set aside for several days in 
 a cool place to permit all the excess of 
 stearin and palmitin to precipitate.

 MOUTH WASHES. (Collutories.) 
 
 These are preparations intended for 
 cleansing, purifying and deodorizing the 
 mouth, and frequently also for cleansing 
 the teeth. They serve the purpose of 
 arresting decay, neutralizing bad breath, 
 and relieving inflamed mucous mem- 
 brane. Before use, they are usually di- 
 luted with water, about 1 teaspoonful 
 being added to a cupful of the latter. 
 They always contain antiseptic and flav- 
 
 oring constituents, sometimes also an 
 astringent substance like tannic acid, 
 kino, rhatany, oak bark, etc., and fre- 
 quently also a coloring constituent. 
 
 They are usually dispensed under 
 such names as "prophylactic tooth and 
 mouth wash," "dentifrice elixir," "thy- 
 mol dentifrice," "salol mouth wash," 
 "aromatic mouth wash," "astringent 
 mouth wash," "tooth tincture," "mouth 
 essence," "elixir of roses," "violet mouth 
 wash," "rubicreme," "favorite tooth and 
 mouth wash," "mentholated dentifrice," 
 "mentholine tooth wash," "eau denti- 
 frice," "Imperial mouth wash," "sali- 
 cylic mouth wash," "eau angelique," 
 "carbonated tooth wash," "mouth 
 water," etc.

 may be rolled out into a very thin pill 
 "pipe" about the size of a knitting 
 needle, which may then be cut into short 
 sections. After dividing the mass, the 
 particles may be dried. If desired, the 
 pellets may be silver-coated.

 BATH, FOOT AND MANICURE 
 PREPARATIONS. 
 
 BATH POWDERS. 
 
 Some of the formulas mentioned be- 
 low furnish effervescent preparations, 
 others are non-effervescent. These pow- 
 ders render hard water soft. 
 
 I. 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 10 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 12 
 
 Starch or rice flour av.oz* 6 
 
 A few spoonfuls of this when stirred 
 into a bathtubful of water cause a copi- 
 ous liberation of carbon dioxid, which 
 is thought by some to be "refreshing." 
 The amount of sodium bicarbonate may 
 be increased or some borax or potassium 
 or sodium carbonate may be added if 
 a more alkaline preparation is desired. 
 Perfume may be added to this pow- 
 
 der, volatile oils being a good form. 
 Oil of lavender flowers would be a suit- 
 able addition in the proportion of a 
 fluidram or more to the av. pound of 
 powder. A better but more expensive 
 perfume may be obtained by mixing 1 
 part of oil of rose geranium with 6 
 parts of oil of lavender flowers An- 
 other good mixture is 2 parts of oil 
 of neroli and 1 part of oil of rosemary. 
 A perfume still more desirable may 
 be had by adding a mixture of the oils 
 from which cologne water is made. For 
 an ordinary quality the following will 
 suffice : 
 
 Oil of lavender flower fl.dr. I 
 
 Oil of rosemary fl.dr. 1 
 
 Oil of bergamot fl.dr. 2 
 
 Oil of lemon fl.dr. 4 
 
 Oil of clove drops 8 
 
 For a better quality the following may 
 be used: 
 Oil of neroli fl.dr. 
 
 Oil of cedrat fl.dr. 
 
 Oil of orange fl.dr. 
 
 Oil of rosemary fl.dr. 
 
 Oil of bergamot fl.dr. 
 
 A fluidram or more of either of these

 fore mixing with the salt. 
 
 ARTIFICIAL SULFUR BATHS. 
 
 Sulfur baths ordinarily are made by 
 simply dissolving potassium sulfuret 
 (sulfurated potassa) in water, in the 
 proportion of from ^2 av. ounce to 2 av. 
 ounces for every 40 gallons of water. 
 But, in order to obtain a bath more 
 closely resembling some of the more 
 noted natural sulfurous springs which 
 have proven so effectual in the treat- 
 ment of rheumatism and skin diseases 
 of certain types, the following is ad- 
 vised : 
 
 Sulfurated potassa or soda. av.oz. J A 
 
 Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 1 
 
 Sodium chlorid gr. 60 
 
 Castile soap shavings gr. 30 
 
 Calcium carbonate gr. 30 
 
 Alum gr. 30 
 
 Water gal 1 
 
 These various materials are boiled in 
 a sufficient quantity of the water to 
 dissolve them, and the solution is stir- 
 red about with a wooden or glass rod 
 until an odor of sulfuretted hydrogen 
 
1018 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 becomes manifest. The solution is then 
 poured into the patient's ordinary water 
 bath, previously heated to about 35° C. 
 BATHING SALTS. 
 
 Popular faith in mineral water baths 
 is quite strong and a variety of salt 
 mixtures to make artificial waters for 
 bathing purposes should prove a profit- 
 able addition to the pharmacist's stock. 
 These salts will consist of suitable in- 
 gredients mixed with considerable pro- 
 portion of salt which adds the requisite 
 bulk. These preparations may be put 
 up in one-pound round paper boxes or 
 in cans. On the label are to be printed 
 directions for use, remarks upon tem- 
 perature of the water, hygienic rules, 
 medicinal uses, etc. 
 
 The following variety of bathing salts 
 is advised : 
 
 i. A sea salt as a bracing and in- 
 vigorating bath. 
 
 2. An acid bath for liver, indiges- 
 tion, spleen and bowel troubles, etc. 
 
 3. An alkaline bath for rheumatism, 
 gout, kidney troubles, etc. 
 
 4. An alternative bath for blood dis- 
 eases, etc. 
 
 5. A sulfur bath for skin diseases, 
 etc. 
 
 6. A tonic bath for chlorosis, anaemia, 
 loss of appetite, etc.

 PERFUMED AMMONIA WATER. 
 
 This is a more or less diluted am- 
 monia water which is perfumed and 
 possibly colored; sometimes soap and 
 alkalies are added. Sometimes it con- 
 tains considerable alcohol in which case 
 it is not strictly a "water." It is added 
 to water used for bathing or washing to 
 soften it.

 FOOT PREPARATIONS. 
 
 These consist of powders or liquids, 
 usually the former. They are recom- 
 mended for tender feet, frequently also 
 
 for excessive perspiration of the feet. 
 These two conditions often occur to- 
 gether, though not necessarilv so, and 
 sweatiness is usually accompanied by 
 a bad odor, or bromidrosis (sweatiness 
 being hyperidrosis). 
 
 FOOT POWDERS. 
 
 According to Picken's analysis of 
 commercial foot powders, these usually 
 contain powdered talcum and boric acid, 
 sometimes zinc oxid, starch, orris root, 
 salicylic acid, borax, and alum. The 
 proportion of alum was found to be 3 
 to 20%, of salicylic acid, 3 to 7%, of 
 zinc oxid, about 25%, and of starch, 15 
 to 65%. Foot powders therefore con- 
 sist of talcum and boric acid to which 
 may be added, or which may be par- 
 tially replaced by, zinc oxid and starch ; 
 antiseptics should be added, salicylic 
 acid being especially good for sweaty, 
 ill-smelling feet. Alum may be added 
 for its astringent property. The mix- 
 ture may be perfumed in any desired 
 manner. 
 
 All foot powders should be reduced 
 to a very fine condition by continued 
 trituration and oassing through a fine 
 sieve. They are recommended for ten- 
 der, tired, or sweaty feet, and if con- 
 taining suitable antiseptics are also bene- 
 ficial for bad-smelling feet. The pow- 
 der is to be sprinkled into the shoes 
 and socks. Frequent washing of the 
 feet and daily changes of socks, are 
 also to be recommended. 
 
 These powders may be put up in nice 
 round boxes or cartons and may be 
 known by such names as "foot powder." 
 "foot rest," "easy feet," "foot comfort," 
 etc.

 FOOT LOTIONS. 
 
 Instead of foot powders, lotions may 
 be recommended but they have not 
 proven so popular. They are, however, 
 useful adjuncts to the powders. For 
 example it is advisable to bathe the 
 feet every night in hot water contain- 
 ing an antiseptic such as boric acid, po- 
 tassium permanganate or sodium per- 
 borate. The latter may be used as a 
 2% solution, potassium permanganate 
 as a 1% solution, and boric acid in the 
 saturated form. In case it is not possi- 
 ble to change socks or stockings everv 
 morning, the latter may be soaked at 
 bedtime with the boric acid solution 
 and hung up to dry over night. Other 
 applications that may be used are these :

 This may be applied to the feet night 
 and morning.

 ARM-PIT POWDER AND PASTE. 
 
 Any of the foot powders may be 
 used as an armpit powder to prevent 
 perspiration and to overcome the odor. 
 The following is specially adapted for 
 this purpose:

 tion of carmine may be omitted and the 
 perfume changed. See Chapter II un- 
 der face powders for nice perfume mix- 
 tures for this purpose.

 the finger-nails and finger-tips are now- 
 used a great deal and this work would

 teaspoonful with about i T/ - ounces of 
 lukewarm water, and apply the liquid 
 to the finger nails with a nail brush, rub- 
 bing for a few minutes. The powder 
 may also be sprinkled dry on the nails 
 and then rubbed with a damp brush, 
 but the first-mentioned method is the 
 most satisfactory. 
 
 Sodium perborate is to be preferred 
 to hydrogen peroxid because its alka- 
 line character enables it to dissolve the 
 fatty matter of the nails and thus exert 
 its bleaching agent, while the peroxid 
 is always acid and has but little action 
 on the nails.

 Nail Polishes. 
 
 I. Different preparations of tin have 
 been used successfully for cleansing and 
 polishing finger nails, probably on ac- 
 count of their detergent and astringent 
 qualities. The use of tin oleate has 
 been highly recommended for imparting 
 a luster to the nails, and when colored 
 with a little carmine, gives to them 
 a roseate tint. The oleate is preoared 
 as follows : To a solution of white cas- 
 tile soap in warm water, 1 av. ounce to 
 the pint, gradually add a 10% solution 
 of tin chlorid until it ceases to pro- 
 duce a precipitate. The insoluble sub- 
 stance formed, after being washed and 
 dried, is tin oleate. It is a soft solid, 
 and is used without further preparation, 
 unless, as stated, it be tinted with car- 
 mine. It may be perfumed if desired. 
 
 II. Another polish for finger nails 
 is tin stearate. It is superior to the 
 oleate, being stiffer and thus nicer to 
 use. It may be prepared like the oleate 
 by precipitation, using solutions of so- 
 dium or potassium stearate and tin 
 chlorid. This may be tinted with car- 
 mine if desired. If a cheaper preoara- 
 tion is wanted^ it can be mixed with 
 equal parts of zinc oxid.

 ACID-PROOF COATING. 
 
 The following recipes have been used 
 in the preparations of coatings for acid 
 tanks: (i) Asbestos powder, 2 parts; 
 barium sulfate, 1 part; silicate of so- 
 dium solution (50 B.), 2 parts. This 
 is resistant to the strongest acids. For 
 weak acids use the silicate at 30 B. 
 (2) Silicate of sodium solution, 2 parts; 
 sand, 1 part ; asbestos powder, 1 part. 
 This is better than the first recipe when 
 hot nitric acid has to be tanked. Either 
 of these preparations will resist the ac- 
 tion of sulfuric and nitric acids.

 AMMONIA, Household or Domestic. 
 This is a combination of ammonia 
 water with borax or other alkali, some- 
 times with oleic acid or soap, the object 
 being to fortify the ammonia or to make 
 it less volatile. If the ammonia be 
 combined with oleic acid and hard wa- 
 ter, a cloudy preparation is obtained. 
 
 The preparation may be perfumed, if 
 intended for toilet purposes, with suita- 
 ble essential oils or with a handkerchief 
 extract. If not perfumed it is suitable 
 for detergent purposes.

 ANT EXTERMINATORS AND EX- 
 PELLERS. 
 
 As far as is known at the present 
 time, ants do no harm directly but have 
 the disagreeable habit of "getting into 
 things," such as in the sugar, syrups, 
 
1034 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 sweets, etc., in pantries or on bread ; 
 in drug stores they occur commonly 
 around the soda fountain. 
 
 Gum camphor, which may be in the 
 form of pieces, laid about in different 
 parts of the pantry or refrigerator will 
 expel ants but all articles of food will 
 be spoilt from absorption of the odor of 
 the camphor. The articles of food might 
 be temporarily removed. Another sub- 
 stance which has proved to be a success- 
 ful ant exterminator is powdered borax, 
 which is to be scattered freely on the 
 pantry and refrigerator shelves and 
 floor ; it should also be blown or thrown 
 into all crevices and corners. 
 
 Mustard, sulfur, alum and oil of cedar 
 are also said to drive ants away, but the 
 oil, like camphor, would be objectionable 
 on account of its odor. 
 
 Ants are said to be partial to lard and 
 a tray smeared with it will entangle 
 many of them. Chloroform or gasoline 
 sprayed into crevices or corners, or into 
 their nests if found, will destroy them. 
 Gasoline must be used with caution, ow- 
 ing to its inflammability, and therefore 
 chloroform should be preferred. 
 
 A sponge moistened with weak syrup 
 will entangle many ants which may then 
 be killed by dipping the sponge in hot 
 water. 
 
 Tartar emetic has also been recom- 
 mended, used in a similar manner to 
 borax. Balsam of peru is said to have 
 been successful ; it is to be smeared into 
 all crevices, and on different places on 
 the shelves and across their pathways. 
 It has also been suggested to boil peru 
 balsam with water, about one ounce to 
 the gallon, and to wash the shelves and 
 floor with this liquid while hot. Alum 
 in hot solution may also be used in the 
 same manner. 
 
 Ants at the soda fountain may be ex- 
 pelled by the same means as outlined 
 above, strewing powdered borax about, 
 smearing peru balsam into crevices, or 
 washing shelves or other parts made of 
 wood with the hot balsam water. 
 
 An experienced pharmacist claims to 
 
 have had excellent results in driving 
 ants from the fountain by making a 
 mixture of equal parts of tartar emetic 
 and sugar into a thick paste with glyce- 
 rin and distributing small particles of 
 this where they can get at it. 
 
 Ants in the lawn, garden or field are 
 easily destroyed by digging a sharp stick 
 into the center of the hill and pouring 
 into it from I to 4 ounces of carbon 
 disulfid, then pressing the soil together 
 again. The best time to destroy ants is 
 immediately after a rain when the 
 ground is cool and damp and there is 
 less rapid absorption and volatilization 
 of the sulfid. Chloroform will probably 
 serve as well as carbon disulfid but 
 would be objected to an account of its 
 expensiveness if it has to be used exten- 
 sively. 
 
 A patented ant and gopher extermina- 
 tor (patented in 1880) is directed to be 
 made as follows : 
 
 Alkanet root oz. 2 
 
 Arsenous acid oz. 2 
 
 Gum camphor oz. 4

 vapor, and after a moment cover the 
 opening with the surrounding dirt.

 BAROMETER GLASS, SOLUTION 
 FOR. 
 
 (Chemical Barometer — Baroscope 
 Liquid.) 
 There is a form of "barometer" which 
 is quite common, usually being mounted 
 in a frame with a thermometer, which 
 is variously known as a storm glass, 
 chemical barometer, domestic barometer, 
 weather barometer, and by other catchy 
 but inappropriate titles. The solution in 
 the tube is usually of about the follow- 
 ing composition : 
 
 Ammonium chlorid gr. 30 
 
 Potassium nitrate gr. 30 
 
 Camphor gr. 30 
 
 Alcohol fl.dr. 8 
 
 Distilled water fl.dr. 9 
 
 Dissolve the camphor in the alcohol 
 by agitation, the other solids in the wa- 
 ter, add this solution (warm) to the 
 camphor solution. 
 
 This solution is always contained in a 
 sealed glass tube which is about three- 
 fourths filled. As the weather becomes 
 cooler, a portion of the camphor sepa- 
 rates from the liquid in different crys- 
 talline forms which sometimes go to the 
 bottom of the glass and sometimes re- 
 main partially suspended in the liquid. 
 These changes in the appearance of the 
 liquid are ascribed by the makers of the 
 storm glass to variations in pressure of 
 the atmosphere, the "glass" therefore 
 acting as a weather forecaster. How-

 ever, as indicated above the changes are 
 due to temperature only and storm 
 glasses are therefore entirely valueless 
 for forecasting purposes. 
 
 BAROMETER OR HYGROMETER 
 PAPER. 
 
 Barometer papers differ from the pre- 
 viously mentioned storm glasses in that 
 they actually indicate, though in a crude 
 way, the proportion of moisture in the 
 atmosphere and in this way foretell the 
 possibility of early showers or of con- 
 tinued dry weather. The basic sub- 
 stance of these papers is a soluble salt 
 of cobalt, the chlorid or nitrate, which 
 has the property of changing in color 
 from blue in dry weather to pink in 
 moist weather. 
 
 The following solution is a satisfac- 
 tory one for making these papers : 
 
 Cobalt chlorid 
 Sodium chlorid 
 
 .av.oz. 2 
 av.oz. I 
 
 Calcium chlorid dr. iY 2 to 3 
 
 Water fl.oz. 6 
 
 Mix, dissolve and filter. In very dry 
 regions, a larger amount of calcium 
 chlorid must be employed than in moist- 
 er regions. Glycerin may be substituted 
 for the calcium chlorid, but the latter is 
 to be preferred as the former is gradu- 
 ally dissipated. 
 
 To prepare the paper, soak white blot- 
 ting paper in this liquid and then dry. 
 
 The amount of moisture in the air is 
 indicated by the following colors : 
 
 Rose red rain 
 
 Pale red very moist 
 
 Bluish red moist 
 
 Lavender blue nearly dry 
 
 Blue very dry

 ented in 1871 : 50 pounds of glue, 16 
 pounds of plaster of Paris, 10 ounces of 
 alum, and }£ ounce of potassium iodid. 
 Boil the mixture with sufficient water to 
 give the required thickness. The mix- 
 ture is to be applied hot and may be 
 put on as thickly or thinly as desired. 
 
 BATTERY FLUIDS. 
 
 For bichromate batteries use Nos. I, 
 II, III or IV.

 In the water dissolve first the mer- 
 cury salt and then the bichromate; then 
 add the sulfuric acid very carefully, 
 stirring constantly with a glass rod. 
 When cool the solution is ready for use. 
 The mercury keeps the zincs well amal- 
 gamated. 
 
 Sometimes the mercury salt is omit- 
 ted, and frequently sodium bichromate 
 is substituted for the potassium bi- 
 chromate.

 Pour the acid upon the bichromate, 
 coarsely powdered, stir the mixture oc- 
 casionally during an hour, then slowly 
 add the water with stirring. 
 
 According to the National Formulary, 
 this solution is intended for ordinary 
 use. Sodium bichromate is more soluble 
 than the potassium salt and its products 
 of decomposition, in the battery are also 
 more soluble. As it is much cheaper, it 
 is now preferred in large electric labor- 
 atories. When it cannot be obtained, 
 the potassium salt may be substituted 
 for it, weight for weight.

 BATTERY, STORAGE. 
 
 A very satisfactory storage battery 
 may be constructed in the following 
 manner : After procuring two half- 
 round porous cups and a glass jar suffi- 
 ciently large to hold them both, get two 
 
1038 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 pieces of sheet lead one-sixteenth of an 
 inch thick, wide enough to fit the half- 
 round side of the porous cups, and deep 
 enough to come an inch above the top 
 edge of the cups and jar. Solder a 
 screw post to each lead plate, nearly fill 
 the cup with a paste consisting of red 
 lead and a solution of sodium sulfate 
 thin enough to run like a cement, and 
 put the lead plates in place, one of them 
 being marked with an +. Fill the outer 
 jar to within half an inch from the top 
 with a i :8 solution of sulfuric acid, and 
 the battery is ready for charging. This 
 may be done by attaching for 24 hours 
 to a 12-cell copper sulfate battery, or to 
 a dynamo; but always charge in the 
 same direction. If well charged these 
 storage cells will retain a large volume 
 of electricity for a considerable time, 
 and with a battery consisting of two or 
 more cells small motors, lamps and in- 
 duction coils may be operated, After 
 the first charge a 5-cell battery suffices 
 to recharge. 
 BATTERIES, Filling for Dry. 
 
 In the so-called dry batteries the ex- 
 citing substance is a paste instead of a 
 fluid; moisture is necessary to cause the 
 reaction. These pastes are generally se- 
 cret preparations. One of the earlier 
 "dry" batteries consisted of a contain- 
 ing vessel of zinc, which forms the 
 positive element ; the negative one is a 
 cylinder of carbon; and the space be- 
 tween is filled with a paste, the recipe 
 for which is: 
 
 Zinc oxid part 1 
 
 Ammonium chlorid part 1 
 
 Zinc chlorid part 1 
 
 Plaster of paris parts 3 
 
 Water parts 2 
 
 The usual form of silver chlorid bat- 
 tery is said to consist of a sealed cell 
 containing a zinc electrode, the two be- 
 ing generally separated by some form of 
 porous septum. Around the platinum or 
 silver electrode is cast a quantity of 
 silver chlorid. This is melted and gen- 
 erally poured into molds surrounding 
 the metallic electrode. The exciting 
 
 fluid is either a solution of ammonium 
 chlorid, sodium or potassium hydroxid, 
 or zinc sulfate. As ordinarily construct- 
 ed, these cells contain a paste of the 
 electrolyte, and are sealed hermetically 
 in glass or hard rubber receptacles. 
 
 Another "dry cell" is the following: 
 I'n a containing vessel, generally of 
 cardboard, is placed a zinc cylinder, and 
 in the middle of this stands a carbon 
 plate. The space between the zinc and 
 carbon is filled with a jelly-like compo- 
 sition as mentioned. The zinc is coated 
 on the inner surface to the thickness of 
 *4 inch with a paste made as follows : 
 
 Plaster of paris av.oz. 1 
 
 Sal ammoniac dr. 3 
 
 Water av.oz. 2 
 
 The carbon is then put in, care berig 
 taken that it does not touch the zinc, 
 and the remaining space is filled in with 
 the following mixture: 
 
 Carbon, powdered (or gra- 
 phite) av.oz. 3 
 
 Black oxid of manganese, 
 
 coarsely powdered dr. 3 
 
 Zinc sulfate dr. V/2 
 
 Sal ammoniac dr. 5 
 
 Glycerin gr. 40 
 
 Water, sufficient to make a stiff paste. 
 The cell is afterwards sealed up with 
 melted pitch, ventholes being provided 
 by inserting two pieces of thick wire, 
 and removing them when the pitch is 
 cold. There are many different makes 
 of dry battery, but the compositions 
 used probably do not differ to any great 
 extent from that just given. 
 
 If to be used for producing electric 
 light it may be said that such cells, no 
 matter what size, have each an E. M. F. 
 of about i]/ 2 volt; but taking into ac- 
 count their internal resistance (unless 
 very large), one would not be far out in 
 reckoning the available pressure of each 
 cell as 1 volt, so that to light a 5-volt 
 lamp well one would require 5 cells, and 
 so on. Two or more similar lamps 
 would be arranged in parallel, and 
 would not require any more cells than 
 one lamp : but the cells should be larger 
 in proportion to the number of lamps. 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1039 
 
 In fact, the larger the cells the greater 
 the current that may be taken, and the 
 longer will the current last; but, in any 
 case, such cells are only adapted for 
 lighting lamps for a short time (a few 
 minutes) at comparatively long inter- 
 vals. 
 BAUME'S SCALE. 
 
 To convert Baume's degrees to speci- 
 fic gravity, the following may be em- 
 ployed : 
 I. 
 
 For liquids lighter than water, add 
 the degree Baume to 130 and divide the 
 sum into 140, viz. : 45 ° = 140 -r- (130 + 
 45) = 140 + 175 = 0.80 sp. gr. 
 II. 
 
 For liquids heavier than water, sub- 
 tract the degree Baume from 145 and 
 divide into 145, viz. : 29 B — 145 -r- 
 (145— 29) =145 -7- 116=1.25 sp. gr. 
 BEDBUG EXTERMINATORS. 
 
 The number of "cures" for bedbugs is 
 legion. The following list embraces 
 some of the substances employed for 
 their destruction: Oil of turpentine, 
 kerosene, benzin, mercuric chlorid, mer- 
 cury, Paris green, zinc chlorid, arsenic, 
 insect powder, Scotch snuff, capsicum, 
 naphthalin, camphor, sulfur fumes, am- 
 monia vapor, hydrocyanic acid vapor, 
 soft soap, carbolic acid (both pure and 
 crude), colocynth, wormwood, aloes, 
 pepper, sodium borosalicylate, cimici- 
 fuga root ; also fresh sprays of strongly- 
 scented plants, such as ledum palustre, 
 pennyroyal, tansy, pine, etc., placed be- 
 neath the mattress. 
 
 Bedbug exterminators may be in the 
 powder, the liquid or the paste form. 
 The powder may be the well known in- 
 sect powder, or it may be Paris green, 
 or it may be a mixture of different in- 
 secticides. Sometimes these powders 
 are made into a paste by moistening and 
 are pressed into cracks containing, or 
 suspected of containing, bedbugs or 
 their eggs. 
 
 If the powders are used in the dry 
 form, they may be introduced into the 
 
 crevices by means of an insect powder 
 blower or "gun." 
 
 The liquid exterminators may consist 
 of poisonous solutions like those con- 
 taining corrosive sublimate or carbolic 
 acid, or they may consist of oil of tur- 
 pentine, kerosene, benzin, oil of cedar, 
 etc., or they may consist of tinctures of 
 bitter substances like coloycnth or quas- 
 sia, or they may consist of resinous so- 
 lutions, or they may consist of soapy 
 solutions, or again they may consist of 
 several of these classes of substances in 
 combination. 
 
 Substances like kerosene, benzin, vol- 
 atile oils, etc., act by dissolving the chit- 
 inous coating of insects and thus ob- 
 structing the breathing pores and cause 
 death. The resinous substances act 
 largely by cementing over the eggs and 
 thus prevent their hatching. The bitter 
 substances mentioned are usually de- 
 structive to insect life. 
 
 The objections to these different sub- 
 stances for exterminative purposes are 
 that resins, oil of turpentire, etc., leave 
 stains, benzin, kerosene, etc., are inflam- 
 mable, corrosive sublimate, Paris green, 
 etc., are excessively poisonous, carbolic 
 acid has an unpleasant odor, etc. The 
 evils of the different substances are 
 often mitigated by combining several 
 of them. 
 
 Liquid exterminators may be applied 
 by means of a brush or feather, but a 
 better method is to employ a machinist's 
 oil-can or a bottle containing a perfor- 
 ated cork in which is inserted a quill. 
 Corks which are perforated and are 
 provided with a tin spout are now also 
 to be had. 
 
 I. One of the most commonly-used 
 bedbug exterminators is the following : 
 
 Corrosive sublimate av.oz. 1 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 3-' 
 
 Or some of the alcohol may be re- 
 placed by water. However, inasmuch as 
 it is the alcohol and not the mercury 
 chlorid that is presumed to be the in- 
 secticide, this replacement is not to be 
 recommended. Very frequently a por^ 
 
1040 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 tion of the alcohol, from about 20 to 
 80%, is replaced by oil of turpentine; 
 this reacts with the corrosive sublimate, 
 precipitating the latter. Oil of turpentine 
 alone is an excellent bedbug destroyer. 
 The alcohol may also be replaced by 
 wood alcohol or denatured alcohol. 
 
 A good mixture is the one following 
 this (No. II).

 Dissolve the two salts in a portion of 
 the water, the soap in the remainder of 
 the water and mix the two liquids. 
 Green or soft soap may be used if de- 
 sired. A portion of the water may be 
 replaced by oil of turpentine or kero- 
 sene or it may be entirely replaced by 
 decoction of quassia or of white helle- 
 bore. Paris green or London purple 
 may be added to the mixture if desired. 
 
 V. 
 
 Xaphthalin av.oz. 1 
 
 Gasoline fl.oz. 16 
 
 Mix and dissolve. This is efficacious, 
 is dangerous to use on account of the in- 
 flammability of the gasoline. This mix- 
 ture may be used indiscriminately on 
 bedding, furniture, textiles of all de- 
 scriptions, wall-paper, etc. It may be 
 improved by adding one ounce or so of 
 resin or paraffin wax, which acts by 
 forming a coating over the eggs of the 
 insects and preventing their hatching 
 out 
 
 BENGAL LIGHTS. 
 
 These are the same as "colored fires." 
 See Fires, Colored. 
 
 BENZIN JELLY (Gelatinized Ben- 
 zin.) 
 
 This is benzin made into the form of 
 a soft jelly by combination with soap or 
 soap bark decoction or tincture. The 
 soap, ammonia water, ether, and similar 
 ingredients in the mixture add to the 
 detergent properties of the benzin. The 
 jelly is useful for cleaning gloves, rib- 
 bons, and fabrics generally, for remov- 
 ing greasy, oily, resinous, and other 
 kinds of stains. 
 
 The directions for use are to rub the 
 spot or stain with a sponge or suitable 
 cloth saturated with the jelly, allowing 
 to remain for a few minutes, then rins- 
 ing in warm water. If the stain is not 
 removed, repeat the operation. 
 
 Those who intend using this kind 
 of a preparation should be warned 
 against the inflammability of benzin or 
 any mixture containing any considerable 
 proportion of it. The cleanser should 
 preferably not be used at night nor in 
 proximity to lights or fires.

 tioned under the headings Carpet Clean-

 mixture. — D. 
 VII. 
 
 A co-called "benzin paste" for the re- 
 moval of stains both from the hands 
 and clothing may be made as follows : 
 Melt 100 parts of stearic acid at 30 to 
 50 C, and add to it 40 parts of 15.6% 
 of caustic potash solution, stirring well; 
 then add to the semi-solid mass at the 
 above temperature, 8 to 10 parts of 
 strong ammonia water ; mix well, and 
 stir in 40 parts of melted tallow. Final- 
 ly add benzin enough to convert the 
 whole into a nice, smooth paste. 
 
 VIII. A preparation of an agreeable 
 odor and of equal value as a cleansing 
 agent may be made according to any of 
 the preceding formulas by substituting 
 pure or purified benzole for benzin. 
 BENZINE, Purifying of. 
 
 Benzine, as well as other petroleum 
 distillates, may be purified by the proc- 
 ess of the U. S. P. which is given in 
 Part I. The following is another 
 process : Add to the benzine 1 or 2% 
 of oleic acid, which dissolves, and then 
 Va% of aqueous solution of tannin 
 which incorporate by thorough agitation. 
 A quantity of solution of caustic potash 
 or milk of lime sufficient to combine 
 with the acids is then well shaken with 
 the mixture and the whole allowed to 
 stand. The benzine rises to the top of 
 the aqueous liquid, suffiicently deodor- 
 ized for all practical purposes. 
 
 BENZINE, Disguising- Odor Of. 
 
 The following process has been pat- 
 ented in Germany for disguising the 
 odor of benzine and other petroleum 
 distillates : Add to the liquid a volatile 
 oil containing a terpen such as oil of 
 turpentine, fennel, caraway, lavender, 
 pine needles, eucalyptus, etc., and then 
 an alkali. If the benzine be mixed 
 with 1% of oil of fennel, wanned 
 to 70 C, then agitated with - T 
 solution of soda, sp. gr. about 1.30, and 
 
1042 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 allowed to stand till the benzine sepa- 
 rates from the aqueous liquid, the for- 
 mer will have merely an odor of fennel. 
 
 BENZINE, Non-Inflammaole. 
 
 So-called non-inflammable benzine is 
 a mixture of tetrachlorid of carbon with 
 benzine. A mixture of 7 parts of the 
 tetrachlorid with 3 of benzine have been 
 advised, but even this is considered in- 
 flammable by some so that a still larger 
 proportion of carbon tetrachlorid is ad- 
 vised. 
 BICYCLE CHAIN LUBRICANT. 
 
 The best lubricant for bicycle chains 
 is plain dry powdered graphite, or 
 plumbago. This is brushed over the 
 chain previously cleaned by immersion 
 in kerosene, rubbing with a rag, an- 
 other bath in the kerosene, followed by 
 one in lard or sperm oil, and then rub- 
 bed thoroughly dry. The surplus plum- 
 bago thereupon is also removed by gen- 
 tly wiping the chain with a rag. In 
 order to apply the plumbago more eas- 
 ily, some riders are in the habit of mak- 
 ing it into a stiff paste with oil or 
 grease, while others mix it with kero- 
 sene or oil of turpentine. Mixtures with 
 glycerin also are recommended. Some 
 like a composition of 2 to 3 parts of 
 the powder with 5 parts of petrolatum. 
 However, there is a great demand for 
 stick lubricants. These are made by in- 
 corporating a sufficient amount of plum- 
 bago with a hard fat, such as tallow or 
 tallow with a little wool- fat. 
 
 The white lubricants are crude soaps, 
 of which the following is an example : 
 
 Tallow part 1 
 
 Palm oil, crude parts 2 
 
 Solution of sodium carbon- 
 ate, 15% part 1 
 
 Melt together and pour the mass into 
 tin canisters. 
 
 BICYCLE ENAMEL. 
 
 This enamel is waterproof and wears 
 well; it imitates closely the natural blue 
 of steel, and it can be removed with a 
 cloth soaked in alcohol at any time. It 
 will keep indefinitely when tightly cork- 
 
 ed, and may be used on any metal as it 
 
 will not corrode it. 
 
 Bleached shellac parts 5 
 
 Borax part 1 
 
 Alcohol parts 5 
 
 Water parts 4 
 
 Methylene blue sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the borax in the water and 
 the shellac in the alcohol by maceration, 
 reserving a small portion of the latter 
 to dissolve the methylene blue. Heat 
 the watery solution to boiling and add 
 the alcoholic solution, stirring constant- 
 ly ; starin out any lumps and add the 
 blue solution. 
 
 Paint with a soft brush on the spokes, 
 which have been cleaned bright with 
 emery cloth. The quantity of blue need- 
 ed is very small ; by grading the amount 
 employed any shade from a dark blue 
 to a light steel color may be obtained. 
 
 Orange shellac can be used, but it 
 gives a greenish cast to the enamel. 
 
 BICYCLE OIL, Illuminating. 
 
 Various mixtures are used, such as 
 equal parts of kerosene and lard oil, or 
 equal parts of kerosene and comphor- 
 ated oil; or equal parts of sperm oil, 
 lard oil, and kerosene. 
 
 Kerosene and sperm oil are also used. 
 Formulas with camphor are frequently 
 recommended, such as the following : 
 
 Gum camphor part 1 
 
 Sperm oil parts 8 
 
 Paraffin oil parts 24 
 
 BICYCLE OIL, Lubricating. 
 
 Various combinations are recommend- 
 ed, such as a mixture of equal parts of 
 kerosene and castor oil or 1 part of ker- 
 osene and 2 parts of sperm oil. Ordi- 
 nary yellow paraffin oil may be used as 
 a lubricant. 
 
 Another good combination is a mix- 
 ture of 
 
 Camphorated oil part 1 
 
 Sperm oil parts 3 
 
 Paraffin oil parts 4 
 
 This mixture is equally useful for lub- 
 ricating and illuminating purposes.

 BLACKBOARD SLATING OR 
 PAINT. 
 
 In preparing these paints it is essen- 
 tial that the insoluble substances be re- 
 duced to very fine powder and that they 
 be thoroughly incorporated in the mix- 
 ture, and also that they be kept in a 
 state of suspension, during the process 
 of application, by constant agitation. 
 
 Of course, much depends upon the 
 skill of the painter, for unless he pre- 
 pares the surface of the board or wall 
 well before putting on the paint, the 
 latter cannot be expected to appear to 
 the best advantage. Two coats are us- 
 ually to be preferred to one, and un- 
 even surfaces, after either coat has been 
 applied should be rendered smooth by 
 rubbing with sandpaper or 'emery cloth. 
 On account of the rapid-drying prop- 
 erties of these paints, they should be ap- 
 plied quickly with a broad, flat brush.

 Heat the water to boiling, in it dis- 
 solve the borax and add the shellac 
 which under continued heating will dis- 
 solve. From time to time add water, if 
 necessary, to make up for that lost by 
 evaporation. Now add the pumice stone 
 and the lampblack, first rubbing the lat- 
 ter up with a portion of the liquid to a 
 smooth paste, and stir the whole until 
 well mixed. Pass the mixture through 
 a fine sieve to remove any possible 
 lumps, and add more water to reduce to 
 the proper consistency. 
 
 This liquid may be painted on wood ; 
 metal, pasteboard, or even a plastered 
 wall, providing the surface is sufficiently 
 smooth. It should be applied with a 
 soft, flat brush.

 BLEACHED SPONGES. 
 
 I. The following is the process of 
 the National Formulary for bleaching 
 sponges : 
 
 Free the sponges to be bleached from 
 sand and any other obvious impurities 
 or damaged portions by beating, wash- 
 ing and trimming, then soak for about 
 15 minutes in a sufficient quantity of so- 
 lution of potassium permanganate, con- 
 taining one-half av. ounce to the quart, 
 wringing the sponges out occasionally 
 and replacing in the liquid. Then re- 
 move and wash with water, until the 
 latter runs off colorless. Wring out the 
 
 water and then place the sponges into a 
 solution of sodium hyposulfite, contain- 
 ing 2 av. ounces to the quart. Next add 
 for every quart of the last named solu- 
 tion used, 2 fluidounces of hydrochloric 
 acid mixed with 8 fluidounces of water. 
 Macerate the sponges in this liquid for 
 about 15 minutes, expressing frequently 
 and replacing in the liquid. Then re- 
 move and express, and immerse for a 
 short time in a 10% solution of sodium 
 carbonate, again expressing. Finally, 
 wash the sponge's thoroughly with water 
 and dry them. 
 
 In the case of large and dark-colored 
 sponges it may be necessary to repeat 
 this treatment to bleach them suffici- 
 ently. 
 
 If it is desired to keep the sponges 
 soft, and to prevent them from shrink- 
 ing when dry, they may be dipped, after 
 being finally washed, into a mixture of 
 1 volume of glycerin and 5 volumes of 
 water, after which they may be wrung 
 out and allowed to dry. 
 
 II. Dissolve 1 dram of potassium 
 permanganate in one-half gallon of wa- 
 ter, introduce the sponges into this solu- 
 tion, allow to remain for 24 hours, then 
 remove and express, and introduce into 
 another consisting of 5 drams of sodium 
 sulfite dissolved in one-half gallon of 
 water. While the sponges are soaking 
 in this solution, stir into it one fluid- 
 ounce of crude muriatic acid. Express 
 the sponges frequently, returning to the 
 liquid until well bleached. Then express 
 again and wash thoroughly in warm wa- 
 ter. To make certain that every trace 
 of acid has been removed from the 
 sponges, the latter should be soaked in 
 a solution of 2^ drams of sodium thio- 
 sulfate (hyposulfite) in x /2 gallon of 
 water. The use of alkalies for the lat- 
 ter purpose is not to be recommended, 
 as these have a tendency to produce a 
 brownish discoloration. 
 
 If the sponges are intended for surgi- 
 cal purposes, they should first be freed 
 from sand by beating and shaking, after 
 which they should be macerated for 24 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1045 
 
 hours in a 2% dilution of crude hydro- 
 chloric acid. After thorough expres- 
 sion and washing with warm water, they 
 are ready for the permanganate treat- 
 ment. 
 
 III. The sponges are first immersed 
 for a few minutes in a mixture of 1 
 part muriatic acid and 20 parts of water 
 to remove calcareous matter. Wash out 
 all the acid and treat with a solution of 
 1 part potassium permanganate to 45 of 
 water, allowing the sponges to remain 
 in this until fully saturated. Transfer 
 from this, without rinsing, to the fol- 
 lowing: Oxalic acid, 1 part, sulfuric 
 acid, 1 part, water, 50 parts. Remove 
 from this as soon as the permanganate 
 is decomposed. The sponges are now 
 bleached, but which will not remain so 
 unless treated with a weak alkali. A 
 solution of sodium bicarbonate, 1 to 20, 
 is recommended. 
 
 IV. The bromin process appears to 
 be preferred in Germany. According to 
 this the sponges, first freed from cal- 
 careous portion by trimming with a 
 sharp knife or shears, are immersed in 
 a saturated solution of bromin in water 
 (about 1 in 30), taking care that there 
 is no undissolved bromin. Allow the 
 sponges to soak for several hours when 
 their own color as well as that of the 
 liquid becomes decidedly lighter. If nec- 
 essary, the sponges may be given a sec- 
 ond or even a third bath in bromin 
 water. A final dip in very dilute sul- 
 furic acid improves the sponges. The 
 latter should be well washed in water to 
 remove all the bromin odor, after which 
 they are to be dried. 
 
 BLEACHING OF LINSEED AND 
 POPPY SEED OILS. 
 
 Mix 1 quart of the oil in a bottle with 
 a solution of 5 drams of potassium per- 
 manganate in 1 pint of water, shake 
 thoroughly, set aside for 24 hours in a 
 warm place, and then add 1 av. ounce 
 of sodium sulfite in coarse powder. Agi- 
 tate the whole thoroughly until the lat- 
 ter is dissolved, and incorporate 10 
 
 fluidrams of crude hydrochloric acid. 
 Shake frequently until the brown liquid 
 has become quite light in color, and 
 wash the oil with water containing a 
 small amount of chalk until the wash- 
 ings are no longer acid. After separat- 
 ing all the water, the oil may be filtered 
 through dried sodium sulfate. 
 BLEACHED SHELLAC. 
 
 Mix 1 av. pound of chlorinated lime 
 with 5 gallons of water in a hardwood 
 tub and to this add 5 pounds of orange 
 shellac which has previously been re- 
 duced to coarse powder. After 24 hours 
 stir in a mixture of 5 pints of water and 
 20 minims of sulfuric acid, and then 30 
 pints of boiling hot water. The bleach- 
 ed shellac, which rises to the surface, is 
 to be removed from the liquid, kneaded 
 with hot water till free of lime, chlorin 
 and acid, and then formed into sticks. 
 
 BLUE PRINTING PAPER. 
 
 The mixture which is to be applied to 
 the paper consists of 2 (sometimes 3) 
 solutions which are to be mixed just 
 prior to use.

 citrate should be in scales, free from 
 powder, and should not have been ex- 
 posed to light. The ferrocyanid must also 
 be free from any adherent powder. 
 
 To coat the paper. — This must be 
 done by gas light. Pour some of the 
 solution into a saucer, dip a soft pad of 
 absorbent lint into it and pass quickly 
 across the paper; again dip the pad in 
 solution and pass across the paper from 
 where it was left off. When all the paper 
 has been thus coated take an artist map 
 varnish brush and remove the excess of 
 liquid. 
 
 Keep these solutions in separate well- 
 stoppered bottles, which exlude actinic 
 light. In using, mix equal parts of Nos. 
 I and 2. 
 
 Tn preparing the sensitized paper, take 
 a solid, firm paper, free from impuri- 
 ties, and apply the solution to the sur- 
 face of the paper with a soft sponge or 
 a broad, soft brush, being careful not 
 to have the sponge or brush charged too 
 heavily with the solution, or else the 
 paper will have a streaked appearance, 
 which will show in the finished print. 
 Go over the surface of the paper in two 
 directions at right angles to each other 
 so as to insure an even coating. The 
 paper must be allowed to dry in the 
 dark, and in a horizontal position.

 with a soft, broad brush by artificial 
 light and then dried in the dark. It is 
 exposed under a negative in the ordi- 
 nary way till the half-tones show a dark 
 violet color, and it is then placed face 
 downwards on water for about 10 sec- 
 onds and removed, and exposed to the 
 air for a short time, thoroughly washed 
 in water and then immersed in a bath of 
 
 Javelle water fl.oz. 1

 The liquid is to be applied, as evenly 
 as possible, with a brush to strongly- 
 sized paper, in a subdued light. The 
 paper should be dried rapidly to prevent 
 the solution sinking into its pores. 
 
 In sunlight, one or two minutes is 
 generally sufficient to develop an image, 
 while in dull light as much as an hour 
 may be necessary.

 To develop the print it is floated im- 
 mediately after leaving the printing 
 frame upon a saturated solution of po- 
 tassium ferrocyanid. None of the de- 
 veloping solution should be allowed to 
 reach the back. The development is us- 
 ually complete in less than a minute. 
 The paper may be lifted off the solution 
 when the face is wetted, the develop- 
 ment proceeding with that which ad- 
 heres to the print. A blue coloration of 
 the background shows insufficient expo- 
 sure, and pale-blue over exposure, 
 
 When the development is complete, 
 the print is to be floated on clean water, 
 and after 2 or 3 minutes, placed in a 
 bath, made as follows: 
 
 Sulfuric acid fl.dr. 2^ 
 
 Hydrochloric acid fl.dr. 6 l / 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 10 
 
 In about 10 minutes the acid will have 
 removed all iron salts not turned into 
 the blue compound. It is next thor- 
 oughly washed and dried. Blue spots 
 may be removed by a 4% solution of 
 caustic potash. 
 
 The back of the tracing must be plac- 
 ed in contact with the sensitive surface. 
 BLUING, BALL. 
 
 This is said to be made from a mix- 
 ture of 1 part of borax, 1 part of gum 
 arabic, 2 parts of carbolic acid, 16 parts 
 of Prussian blue, and sufficient water 
 to form a dough; form this into balls 
 of any suitable size, and dry them. 
 BLUING OF COPPER. 
 See Copper, Bluing of. 
 BLUING OF GUN BARRELS. 
 
 For bluing of gun barrels in imita- 
 tion of the blue color imparted by heat, 
 the following process is offered : 
 
 Sodium hyposulfite av.oz. 4 
 
 Lead acetate av.oz. 1 
 
 Water pints 2 
 
 Dissolve the salts each separately in 
 one pint of water then mix the solu- 
 tions, and apply the mixture hot to the 
 gun barrel. The surface of the bar- 
 rel should previously have been entirely 
 freed from oil or grease by wiping the 
 surface with solution of potassa. When 
 
 the color has developed, wipe the metal 
 dry and polish with oil. 
 BLUING, LIQUID. 
 
 Prussian blue av.lb. 1 
 
 Oxalic acid av.oz. 4 
 
 Water gall. y 2 
 
 After solution is effected, dilute as 
 much as desired. 
 
 Soluble blue or blue aniline may also 
 be employed for making this prepara- 
 tion. 
 
 Another preparation which may be 
 employed is a solution of 1 part of indi- 
 go-carmine in 10 parts of water. 
 
 "BOILER COMPOUNDS" for Pre- 
 venting Incrustation. 
 
 A great many substances are recom- 
 mended as useful in preventing the lime 
 and magnesium salts of water from 
 forming hard scales on the interior of 
 steam boilers, and all act by preventing 
 the agglutination of the particles, the 
 salts remaining suspended in the water 
 or being precipitated as soft mud. Sodi- 
 um carbonate, or soda ash, ammonium 
 chlorid, molasses, glucose, spent tan 
 bark, slippery elm bark, lime, terra 
 japonica, sodium fluorid, trisodium 
 phosphate, etc., are other substances 
 which are recommended for this pur- 
 pose. 
 
 There are many secret or proprietary 
 combinations for preventing incrusta- 
 tions on the market for which ex- 
 traordinary claims are made, but gen- 
 erally these are useful for only one 
 kind of water and are totally unfit 
 for every other kind. Some compounds 
 prevent incrustation but cause so much 
 corrosion that more harm is done than 
 if no "compound" were used. Each 
 "boiler compound" should really be 
 specially compounded to fit the water 
 to be treated. Furthermore the proper 
 amount of "compound" should always 
 be used as too little does not prevent 
 the formation of scales and too much 
 may corrode the boiler or it may raise 
 the temperature of the water too high. 
 besides being that much of a waste. 
 
 Sodium fluorid is said to have no ad- 
 
1048 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 vantage over sodium carbonate and is 
 much more costly. It precipitates lime 
 and magnesium salts in a light, floc- 
 culent form. 
 
 Trisodium phosphate has been highly 
 lauded as a "boiler compound" ; it con- 
 verts soluble lime and magnesium salts 
 into insoluble phosphates which remain 
 in suspension for a long time on ac- 
 count of their low specific gravity and 
 then settle as a soft inud. On account 
 of its. alkaline nature, it neutralizes any 
 acids present which may cause cor- 
 rosion. An excess of it is not likely 
 to cause foaming as in the case of 
 sodium carbonate. 
 
 The use of sodium bichromate has 
 been patented in Germany. It precipi- 
 tates the lime and magnesium salts as 
 insoluble, non-scaling chromates. It is 
 said that an excess of this chemical or 
 even of free chromic acid will cause 
 no corrosion. 
 
 Tannin is used to some extent. It 
 precipitates the lime and magnesium 
 salts in a satisfactory form but it has 
 a corrosive action on the iron. Sugar 
 and saccharine substances are also used 
 as these precipitate the salts in a floccu- 
 lent form. 
 
 Such substances as sawdust, starch 
 and potatoes act in a mechanical man- 
 ner. Sawdust furnishes a nucleus or 
 center for the salts as they crystallize 
 to prevent them from uniting together. 
 Starchy substances like potatoes act 
 by forming a coating on the minute 
 scales to prevent them from hardening. 
 These substances have the disadvantage 
 of causing foaming. A substance like 
 tan bark acts both chemically and me- 
 chanically. 
 
 The following mixtures have been 
 offered as "boiler compounds."

 BOTTLE CAPPING OR SEALING 
 MIXTURES. 
 
 These preparations are generally made 
 either a gelatin or a resin basis and re- 
 quire to be heated before they are 
 applied. They may be colored before 
 use to improve their appearance. Gela- 
 tinous mixtures should be preferred for 
 alcoholic liquids, while resinous liquids 
 should be used for aqueous liquids. 
 
 Gelatinous Mixtures. 
 
 These are made with either gelatin 
 or glue in combination with water and 
 other ingredients, frequently contain- 
 ing glycerin. They may be tinted blue, 
 red, purple, or other colors with water- 
 soluble aniline dye. 
 
 Solution of carmine or tincture of 
 cudbear may be used for coloring the 
 mixture. 
 
 Mix the mixture before use by the ap- 
 plication of a gentle heat. The cap

 Select a clear grade of gelatin, add 
 the • water, let stand till the gelatin is 
 softened, liquefy by heating gently, and 
 incorporate the glycerin. Color as may 
 be desired as described above. 
 
 More glycerin may be added if a 
 softer mixture is desired. Glue may 
 be used for a portion of .the gelatin 
 which may be white or brown. 
 
 III. Put a weighed amount of dry 
 glue or gelatin in water, and let it 
 stand over night. In the morning drain 
 and press off all the surplus water, and 
 then dissolve the swollen mass by heat- 
 ing in a water bath. Add while still 
 in the bath about one-half as much gly- 
 cerin as there is liquefied gelatin, and 
 for every av. pound of gelatin employed 
 add 1 av. ounce of tannic acid, and 
 stir until entirely homogeneous. Test 
 the liquid on a piece of glass, and if 
 when cold, it is too hard or brittle add 
 somewhat more glycerin, and if too 
 soft more glue and tannin, preserving 
 the proportions indicated. 
 
 If desired to color the mixture any of 
 the mineral colors (rose pink, ucmenian 
 bole, chrome yellow, etc.) may be added 
 to make an opaque mixture, or an ani- 
 
 line dye may be added to make a semi- 
 transparent mixture. 
 Resinous Mixtures. 
 
 The regular sealing waxes may be 
 employed for sealing bottles. See Seal-

 BOTTLES, Cleaning Greasy. 
 
 The following preparation is an effi- 
 cient solvent for grease in obstinately 
 dirty bottles :

 The soap should be boiled in the 
 water until it is dissolved, and the other 
 ingredients then added. 
 
 Oily and greasy bottles need hardly 
 ever be thrown away if they are prop- 
 erly cleansed. The above mixture will 
 suffice in most instances, although sim- 
 pler or cheaper methods may first be 
 tried. Volatile oils may be removed 
 frequently by rinsing with wood alco-

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 small amounts rather in one larger 
 quantity. If the bottle be an old one 
 and the oil has become resinified, the 
 bottle should be rinsed with strong sul- 
 furic acid, then with clear water. 
 
 Bottles which have contained fixed 
 oils may be cleansed by putting in some 
 lye or salt of tartar, adding a small 
 amount of water to make a concen- 
 trated solution, agitating thoroughly, 
 then rinsing several times with clear 
 water. Another method is to put saw- 
 dust into the bottle, then to add am- 
 monia water several times, shaking out 
 after each addition of ammonia, and 
 finally rinsing with clear water. An- 
 other method of cleaning bottles which 
 have contained fixed oil is to put in a 
 little ground soap bark and shake up 
 with water. If this is not effective use 
 stronger agents such as lye or salt of 
 tartar or the mixture mentioned above. 
 
 Another method of cleaning bottles 
 that have contained various volatile oils 
 is to put in some linseed meal, in about 
 the proportion of one ounce to a 16- 
 ounce bottle, allowing the meal to ab- 
 sorb as much oil as possible, then add a 
 little water, shaking well. Fill the bot- 
 tle with water, shake well, empty, rinse 
 with clear water, and the bottle will 
 be clear and free from odor. This 
 method is said to clear out any oils 
 which are not oxidized on the inside 
 of the bottle.

 II. This method is said to be used 
 
 in the United States arsenals : Dip the 
 article in a mixture of 2 parts of com- 
 mon nitric acid and 1 part of sulfuric 
 acid, contained in a stone jar. The 
 articles, after being dipped in this mix- 
 ture, are thoroughly washed with water 
 and then rubbed with dry sawdust. A 
 solution of oxalic acid is used in the 
 same way, smooth surfaces being 
 rubbed with prepared chalk, or equal 
 parts of the latter (or whiting) and 
 oxalic acid, made into a paste with 
 water, may be applied. A great many 
 other processes are employed, such as 
 rubbing with rotten stone and sweet 
 oil, and then with whiting; this is par- 
 ticularly effective with copper articles.

 Dissolve the wax and acid in the 
 gasoline, add the powders, and shake 
 well. 
 
 The tripoli should be gritty enough 
 to scrub well, but fine enough to leave 
 a smooth, unscratched surface. In fact 
 this is the most important ingredient, 
 and any grit that is hard enough to 
 polish well and fine enough to do it 
 without scratching, can be used. Pow- 
 dered quartz, fine pumice, rouge, fine 
 emery, etc., can all or any of them be 
 used, if carefully selected. The func- 
 tion of the infusorial earth is to aid in

 suspending the grit, and to hinder the 
 evaporation of the benzine, and the 
 lightest and most bulky brands are best. 
 
 BRICK WALLS, Removing Efflores- 
 ence On. 
 
 The usual method of treatment for 
 removal of the white efflorescence on 
 brick walls is by painting with dilute 
 muriatic acid. 
 
 BRONZE PAINTS. 
 
 The bronze colors as furnished in the 
 pharmacy serve for temporary pur- 
 poses ; that is, they are expected, in ad- 
 dition to drying rapidly to be fairly 
 permanent, but not so much importance 
 is laid upon their resisting moisture 
 and atmospheric influences. 
 
 Where these latter qualities are de- 
 sired a copal shellac varnish is the 
 best; though the use of any such varn- 
 ish is objectionable because the fatty 
 or resinous acids, either already pres- 
 ent or liable to develop have a chemical 
 action on the copper of the bronze and 
 are apt to cause it to turn green or 
 to deaden the luster of the bronze. 
 
 The commercial liquid bronzes con- 
 sist for the most part of solutions of 
 resins in turpentine oil and should be 
 rejected on the grounds above indi- 
 cated. Another variety is made of a- 
 mixture of gum dammar, rubber and 
 benzin and this does not present the 
 objectionable features above noted in 
 so marked a degree, but has the dis- 
 advantage that owing to the very rapid 
 evaporation of the benzin it is difficult 
 to work with. 
 
 The following formulas avoid these 
 objections. The liquid bronze is par- 
 ticularly useful for applying to wicker 
 work, plaster figures, frames, leather, 
 etc. With bronze powder no previous 
 coating with varnish is necessary. The 
 bronze paints are used most in the gold, 
 silver and copper colors. 
 
 I. Liquid bronze: 
 
 Bronze powder av.oz. n 
 
 Borax-shellac solution fl.oz. 5 
 
 Alcohol t s , , ."fl.oz. 2 
 
 Rub the powder, adding the liquid 
 very slowly; put in (bottles holding 
 about 1 ounce with not too narrow 
 mouths and label with the following 
 directions : 
 
 Shake before using until the contents 
 are thoroughly mixed. Then apply with 
 a camel's hair pencil, shaking again 
 each time before dipping the pencil in. 
 
 The borax-shellac solution is made 
 by heating together on a water-bath at 
 a temperature not over 6o° C. a mix- 
 ture of l / 2 av. ounce of powdered borax, 
 3 av. ounces of orange shellac, and 20 
 fluidounces of water, stirring frequent- 
 ly, until the shellac is dissolved. 
 
 II. Weather-proof bronzing powder: 
 
 Bronze powder av.oz. 13 
 
 Dextrin av.oz. 8 
 
 Potassium bichromate gr. 10 
 
 Powder the bichromate very fine and 
 
 mix thoroughly with the other powders. 
 
 III. Bronze powder, not weather 
 proof: 
 
 Bronze powder av.oz. 3 
 
 Dextrin . . 3 av.oz. 1 
 
 Dispense in paper parcels of about 
 150 grains each with the following di- 
 rections : 
 
 Mix the contents of this package with 
 2 teaspoonfuls of water, set aside until 
 no lumps are left, and then apply with 
 a camel's hair brush. 
 
 IV. Bronze paint for cheaper work 
 may be prepared by mixing chrome 
 green, 2 av. pounds; ivory black, 1 av. 
 ounce; chrome yellow, 1 av. ounce; 
 japan, 4 av. ounces. Grind together and 
 thin with linseed oil. 
 
 V. Another formula is as follows : 
 Prepare a size consisting of ben- 
 zoin, 50 grains; shellac, 1 av. ounce; 
 alcohol, 4 fluidounces. After dissolving 
 by means of a gentle heat, set aside in 
 a cool place for several days and decant 
 the clear solution. To this size the 
 bronze powder is added in sufficient 
 quantity. This paint is applied with 
 a soft brush to the clean metallic sur- 
 face, a second coat being- given if 
 desirable. Apply varnish over all. 
 
1052 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Sometimes the metal is first ground- 
 ed by painting an orange or scarlet 
 color. 
 
 VI. The following bronzing liquid 
 is quite different from any of the pre- 
 ceding : 
 
 Red aniline av.oz. I 
 
 Violet aniline av.oz. i 
 
 Benzoic acid av.oz. I 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 18 
 
 Dissolve the anilines in the alcohol, 
 in a bottle, by the aid of a water bath, 
 add the acid, then boil the mixture 
 on the water bath for 5 or 10 minutes 
 until the greenish color of the liquid has 
 changed to a light brownish bronze. 
 
 This may be applied to leather, wood, 
 metal, and other surfaces. 
 
 Another formula mentions 2 ounces 
 of red aniline. 
 
 BBONZING OF GUN BARRELS.

 Clean off the gun barrel with emery 
 paper, then by means of a sponge or 
 soft brush, apply solution A, subse- 
 quently drying in a cool place, so that 
 it may occur rather slowly. Repeat this 
 application and drying twice, or often- 
 er if necessary to secure the shade of 
 stain desired, rubbing over thoroughly 
 before each application with a scratch 
 brush. When the metal is stained 
 deeply enough, lay the barrel in solu- 
 tion B for 20 or 30 minutes, then wash 
 with warm water, and finally with soap 
 water. Then dry and rub over with 
 linseed oil varnish. 
 
 Better results will be attained by 
 stoppering closely the gun barrel at 
 both ends by means of corks, and lay- 
 ing for at least 30 minutes in each of 
 the baths, which have previously been 
 warmed. — D.

 cool place, and rub off with a cloth. 
 Repeat this application, drying and rub- 
 bing off until a handsome oxidized sur- 
 face is produced. Then apply solution 
 B repeatedly, with subsequent exposure 
 to light, until the gun barrel is dark 
 enough, and anoint finally with linseed 
 oil varnish. — D.

 closed bottle in a warm place for 12 
 hours, and then add the water. Clean 
 and polish the barrel with emery paper, 
 wash it off with lime water, dry, and 
 apply this mixture uniformly. Allow 
 to dry for 24 hours, brush with a 
 scratch brush and wash off. After 
 repeating this three times polish the 
 barrel with leather moistened with olive 
 oil mixed with some oil of turpentine, 
 dry for 12 hours, and finally polish 
 with oil.

 Heat the mixture in a flask and then 
 brush it uniformly over a barrel, previ- 
 ously cleansed and polished; hold the 
 barrel over a moderate coal fire, when 
 a beautiful brown will soon make its ap- 
 pearance ; then polish with olive oil 
 and finally give it a light coat of good 
 amber lacquer mixed with some shellac. 
 V. The United States Ordnance 
 Manual gives a process as follows : 
 Alcohol, 1^2 ounces; sweet spirit of 
 nitre, i]/ 2 ounces; copper sulfate, 1 
 ounce ; nitric acid, ^4 ounce. Mix and 
 dissolve in 1 quart of warm water and 
 keep it in a glass jar. Clean the barrel 
 well with a solution of caustic soda, 
 to remove grease or oil. Then clean 
 the surface of all stains or marks by 
 emery paper or cloth, so as to produce 
 an even, bright surface for the acid to 
 act upon, and one without finger marks. 
 Stop the bore and vent with wooden 
 plugs. Then apply the mixture to every 
 part with a sponge or rag and expose 
 to the air for 24 hours, when the loose 
 rust should be rubbed off with a steel 
 scratch brush. Use the mixture and 
 the scratch brush twice, and more if 
 necessary, and finally wash in boiling 
 water, dry quickly and wipe with lin- 
 seed oil or varnish with shellac. 
 BUFFALO MOTHS, To Exterminate. 
 This insect which is generally spoken 
 of as the "buffalo moth," "carpet bee- 
 tle," and "carpet bug," is in reality not 
 
 a moth, but a beetle belonging to the 
 order coleoptera, while true moths, such 
 as the ordinary clothes moths, belong 
 to the order lepidoptera. 
 
 Tobacco, pepper, camphor, carbolic 
 acid and oil of turpentine have all been 
 recommended for destroying or driving 
 them off, but none of these remedies 
 seem to be of much avail. 
 
 It is the larva of the insect that 
 works the damage to woolens. When 
 in this condition it is about 3/16 inch 
 long, and is covered by a shaggy coat 
 of black hair, from which the term 
 buffajo moth probably originated. It 
 eventually develops into a beetle about 
 an Y& inch in length, and marked with 
 black, scarlet and white. 
 
 Benzine, kerosene and good insect 
 powder appear to be the most efficacious 
 substances with which to combat this 
 pest. Carpets which are infested may 
 be soaked in gasoline which if of good 
 quality will leave no odor or stain. 
 When the carpets are taken up it is a 
 good plan to pack all the cracks in the 
 floor with cotton, which should then 
 be saturated with gasoline. When the 
 larvae are found to be injuring furs or 
 clothes hung in the closet, it would be 
 best to use insect powder. 
 
 It is stated that the insects in car- 
 pets can be destroyed by laying a wet 
 sheet on top of the carpet and passing 
 hot flat-irons over it, the steam thus 
 produced destroying the grub. In rec- 
 ommending the employment of gasoline 
 the dangerously inflammable nature of 
 the liquid should always be called to 
 the attention of the user and the neces- 
 sary precautions suggested. The late 
 Dr. Riley of the Department of Agri- 
 culture recommended this treatment : 
 
 Bare as many rooms as possible at 
 house-cleaning time, and, after carefully 
 removing all dust, spray benzine by 
 means of an atomizer into all of the 
 floor cracks and under the baseboards 
 until every crevice has been reached. 
 The carpets, after thorough beating, 
 
1054 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 should be slightly sprayed in the same 
 manner. Benzine quickly evaporates 
 and leaves no odor. 
 
 Another method of extermination 
 which has been recommended is fumi- 
 gation with formaldehyde.

 CARPET CLEANERS. 
 
 Use any of the preparations men- 
 tioned under Cleansing Creams or Soap, 
 Ox-Gall, or any of the below-mentioned 
 preparations. About the most satisfac- 
 tory carpet cleaners are those which are 
 of a saponaceous character. 
 
 Liquids. 
 I. Bradford's mixture: 
 
 Ammonia water fl.oz. 2 
 
 Soap solution fl.oz. 4 
 
 Gasoline fl.oz. 4 
 
 Chloroform fl.dr. 5 
 
 Potassium nitrate fl.dr. 2Y2 
 
 Oil of wintergreen fl.dr. 2^ 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 32 
 
 Some kind of soft water must be 
 used. Mix the ammonia and soap solu- 
 tion, add the gasoline, chloroform, and 
 oil, and then the potassium nitrate dis- 
 solved in the water. 
 
 This makes a milky mixture which 
 separates somewhat on standing but 
 unites readily upon shaking. 
 
 The oil of wintergreen may be re- 
 placed by sassafras or other essential 
 oil or it may be omitted altogether. 
 
 The soap solution may be made by 
 mixing 1 fluidounce of olive (or other 
 fixed oil like cottonseed oil) with 4 
 fluidrams of alcohol and i l / 2 drams of 
 caustic potash dissolved in 4 fluidrams 
 of water, heating on a water bath until 
 the oil is entirely saponified, which may 
 be shown by adding a drop to boiling 
 
 water when it should dissolve without 
 any oily separation. Allow the mixture 
 to cool, add 8 fluidounces of alcohol and 
 enough water to make 16 fluidounces, 
 and then filter. Ordinary wood alcohol 
 or the purified kind may be used in- 
 stead of alcohol. 
 
 II. This is called Clark's wash for 
 carpets : Apply first a mixture of 4 
 parts of ammonia water and 3 of alco- 
 hol, which is said to loosen the dirt. 
 Then go over the carpet with a mixture 
 composed of 
 
 Soap av.oz. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 40 
 
 Sal soda av.oz. 7 
 
 Ammonia waier fl.oz. 1 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 1 
 
 This removes the dirt without requir- 
 ing removal of the carpet from the floor. 
 
 Powder. 
 III. 
 
 Sal soda av.oz. 8 
 
 Borax av oz. 4 
 
 Both should be in powder. 
 In using, this amount of material is 
 to be dissolved in a gallon of water, 
 then mix this with a solution of a pound 
 of soap (any good washing soap) in 4 
 gallons of water. Apply this combina- 
 tion, preferably warm, to the carpet with 
 a scrubbing brush, remove the lather 
 with a wooden scraper, and dry the car- 
 pet with a flannel cloth.

 ounces of oil of turpentine and stir fre- 
 quently until solution is complete. Let 
 stand for a day or two, then decant 12 
 ounces of the solution, and add 16 fluid- 
 ounces of the best white copal, varnish, 
 and mix thoroughly. Finally add 12 
 fluidounces of boiled linseed oil, and 
 heat^the whole over a sand-bath, with 
 frequent stirring, until homogeneous. 
 
 This is said to be the formula of the 
 enameled leather dressing of Champag- 
 nat.

 CEMENTS of All Kinds. 
 
 Some of these are frequently entitled 
 "glues" and possibly . some of the for- 
 mulas to be found under Glues, Liquid, 
 will serve the purpose of a cement. 
 AaUARIUM CEMENTS. 
 
 I. This preparation is very highly 
 recommended : 
 
 Litharge parts 3 
 
 Plaster of Paris parts 3 
 
 White sand parts 3 
 
 Rosin part 1 
 
 The ingredients should be in fine pow- 
 
 der and should be made, when wanted 
 for use, into a thick paste with boiled 
 linseed oil to which a little drier has 
 been added. 
 
 The cement cannot be used after it 
 has been mixed for a few hours. It 
 will serve for fresh water and marine 
 aquaria equally well. It is best to let it 
 harden a day or two before using the 
 aquarium. 
 
 II. This formula, also an excellent 
 one, is very similar to the preceding : 
 
 Whiting parts 6 
 
 Plaster of Paris parts 3 
 
 Fine white sand parts 3 
 
 Litharge parts 3 
 
 Rosin, powder .part 1 
 
 All parts are by measure. Mix the 
 ingredients thoroughly, then make into a 
 putty-like mass with the best coach var- 
 nish. Only enough for one glass should 
 be made up at once, as the material har- 
 dens very quickly. In putting in the 
 glass, first scrape away the embedding 
 material first used, then put on a layer 
 of this cement. As soon as the embed- 
 ding is made, place the glass in, and 
 with a firm, slow pressure push it in, 
 leaving a layer of the cement about 1/16 
 inch deep underneath the edges. Fasten 
 the glass to place with brads and imme- 
 diately put on the outside, cementing ex- 
 actly like putty. If the woodwork is 
 new it is best to go around the edges 
 of the glass and the wood next it with 
 a- light layer of coach varnish, applying 
 the "putty" immediately thereafter. Let 
 the apparatus stand for 5 or 6 days to 
 harden, then cover the putty outside and 
 inside with two coats of asphalt varnish, 
 carrying the varnish well over on the 
 glass.

 Plaster of Paris parts 2 
 
 Marble dust parts 2

 ment in layers. Bind up the rubber tire 
 lightly with thread, let dry for 24 to 36 
 hours, cut off the thread and remove the 
 protruding cement with a sharp knife, 
 which must previously have been dipped

 Casein Cement. 
 
 Casein when made into a cement 
 makes a good adhesive for uniting pa- 
 per, cloth, leather, crockery, etc. There 
 are various methods for making such a 
 cement. Freshly precipitated, washed 
 and drained casein is meant in each in- 
 stance. 
 VI. 
 
 Borax part 1 
 
 Water parts 19 
 
 Casein sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the borax in the water and 
 add enough fresh casein to make a prep- 
 aration of about the consistence of 
 honey, stirring vigorously to effect solu- 
 tion.— D. 
 
 VII. This is better adapted for 
 mending crockery, glassware, porcelain, 
 etc. 
 
 Casein, fresh, any desired quantity. 
 
 Solution of sodium silicate, sufficient. 
 
 Triturate the casein in a mortar with 
 enough of the solution to make a honey- 
 like mixture. 
 
 This will keep for some time in well- 
 closed wide-mouthed bottles. 
 
 It is a transparent cement but does 
 not resist the action of water.— D. 
 
 Cement for Crockery, Porcelain, 
 Glassware, Etc. 
 
 Any number of formulas under the 
 general heading of Cements are adapted 
 to the purpose of mending crockery, 
 porcelain, glassware and similar sub- 
 stances, such as some of the Casein Ce- 
 ments, Chromium Cement, Diamond Ce- 
 ment, and others. Here are some others. 
 
 An almost invisible joint may be made, 
 with careful handling, with the follow- 
 ing: 
 VIII. 
 
 India-rubber parts 5 
 
 Mastic parts 3 
 
 Chloroform parts 12 
 
 Cut the rubber into shreds, put into a 
 suitable vial, and pour on the chloro- 
 form. Stopper tightly, and set aside un- 
 til the rubber is dissolved, then add the 
 mastic, and let stand until it is dissolved. 
 Apply the cement to each surface to be 
 united, and let the pieces stand until the 
 greater part of the chloroform is evapo- 
 rated, then unite, press firmly to place, 
 and if possible tie in position. When 
 the cement is apparently thoroughly dry 
 on the surface, scrape off the superfluity, 
 and dust over the line of junction a lit- 
 tle zinc oxid, chalk, or some such ma- 
 terial, and with a clean pencil brush it 
 over the joint. After the cement has 
 become perfectly dry, remove the cords 
 and rub off the superfluous powder. 
 Cement for Celluloid. 
 
 IX. It is stated that if the edges of 
 pieces of celluloid be moistened with 
 glacial acetic acid, they may be fastened 
 together. The parts should be held to- 
 gether with pieces of twine until thor- 
 oughly dried. 
 
 Dental Cements. 
 There are so many of these cements 
 that they are merely referred to here. 
 
 X. Sorel's cement for filling cavities 
 in teeth is made by adding rapidly, deli- 
 quescent zinc chlorid to enough zinc 
 oxid to make a thick paste, and applying 
 it immediately.

 Diamond or Armenian Cement. 
 
 XI. This preparation is an old-fash- 
 ioned but exceedingly good article which 
 is almost a universal cement, as it will 
 stick together the most diverse articles. 
 The formulas differ somewhat from 
 each other.

 Gum mastic dr. 4 
 
 Gum ammoniac or galbanum. .dr. 2

 Soak the isinglass in the water for 24 
 hours, evaporate on a water bath to 4 
 fluidounces, add 4 fluidounces of alcohol, 
 strain, add the mastic dissolved in the 
 remaining alcohol, and add the ammonia 
 or galbanum by trituration, avoiding loss 
 of alcohol as much as possible. 
 
 This cement must be warmed gently 
 in a water-bath before use. 
 
 XII. A slight modification, which is 
 an improvement, is this : 
 
 Isinglass (fish glue) .av.oz. I 
 
 Gum ammoniac gr. 36 
 
 Gum mastic gr. 18 
 
 Alcohol, 95% fl.dr. iY 2 
 
 Water, sufficient. 
 
 Soak the isinglass in cold water for a 
 few hours or over night, until it has 
 swollen and become soft throughout. 
 Then pour off the superfluous water and 
 drain the magma on a towel. Upon the 
 thoroughness of this will depend in a 
 great measure the strength of the ce- 
 ment. Then transfer the gelatin to a 
 water-bath and heat until it becomes 
 fluid. Dissolve the gums in the alcohol 
 and add the solution to the gelatin liquid 
 after the latter has been allowed to cool 
 to about 160 F., stir the whole well or 
 mix by agitation.

 XIII. Litharge, glycerin, each suffi- 
 cient to make a stiff paste. 
 
 For Cementing Glassware. 
 Use any of the preparations mentioned 
 under "cements for crockery, etc.," 
 
 "chromium cement," or "diamond ce-

 The liquid glues are also suitable for 
 mending glassware which does not come 
 in contact with liquids. See Glues, Li-

 Melt together, allow to cool somewhat, 
 but apply in the melted condition. 
 
 In using, apply a plentiful amount of 
 the composition, draw a line around the 
 edges of the label, and when the mix- 
 ture has hardened the excess which has 
 exuded around the label mav be scraped 
 off. 
 
 XVI. A thick mixture of white lead 
 and varnish is also good for this pur-

 Leather Cements. 
 XIX. Cements for leather vary ac- 
 
1058 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 cording to the material to which the 
 leather is to be attached — whether leath- 
 er to wood, or to metals, or to another 
 piece of leather. For the first, any good 
 gelatin cement will answer. One of the 
 best formulas, which also acts as a gen- 
 eral cement for household purposes, is 
 as follows : Soak gelatin in cold water 
 over night. In the morning pour off 
 any water that may remain unabsorbed, 
 throw the gelatin on a towel and press 
 off any superfluous water; then put it in 
 a water-bath and heat until melted. Re- 
 move from the fire, and carefully add 
 sufficient acetic acid to keep the gelatin 
 liquid in moderately warm weather. Ap- 
 ply this plentifully to the leather, and 
 lightly to the wood, join together, and 
 put a weight on to keep in place for 
 a short time. 
 
 XX. A cement for uniting leather 
 to leather, as in the case of bands and 
 pulleys, is made as follows : Soak ioo 
 parts of best white glue in cold water 
 over night, and treat as in No. XIX as 
 regards draining and heating. When the 
 glue becomes liquid add 2 parts of gly- 
 cerin in which has been stirred 2 parts 
 of powdered potassium bichromate. In- 
 crease the heat until the water in the 
 bath boils, then remove and apply at 
 once. Only as much as is necessary for 
 immediate use should be made at one 
 time, as the mixture becomes insoluble 
 after cooling. This may be avoided by 
 reserving the potassium chromate, and 
 adding it only to the portion to be used 
 just before it is applied. 
 
 XXI. A cement for leather to leather, 
 in patching shoes, etc., is made by dis- 
 solving gutta percha in a mixture of 
 io parts of carbon disulfid, and I part 
 of oil of turpentine. Cut up the gutta 
 percha as finely as possible, and add 
 it to the mixture until a solution about 
 as thick as molasses is obtained. Keep 
 in a well stoppered bottle, and if the 
 cement gets too thick add a little of 
 the disulfid mixture. To apply this, the 
 edge of the applied patch must be cham- 
 
 fered down as thinly as possible, and 
 the surface of the shoe leather scraped 
 until it is free from grease, blacking, 
 etc. If the shoes have been oiled the 
 grease must be got rid of by saturat- 
 ing the leather with ether or carbon di- 
 sulfid, and pressing, on blotting paper, 
 or a cloth, with a hot iron. Apply a 
 coating of the cement to each piece (i.e., 
 the patch and the leather to which it is 
 to be joined), leave them for a few 
 moments in order to allow the surplus 
 of solvent to evaporate, then join and 
 press closely together with a hot iron. 
 
 XXII. To join leather to metals, 
 glass, etc., melt together equal parts 
 of asphaltum and gutta percha, and ap- 
 ply hot. 
 
 Mending Mortars. 
 
 XXIII. Broken wedgewood mortars 
 may be united by making a paste of 
 calomel and mucilage of acacia, apply- 
 ing to the broken edges, binding the 
 parts together firmly, and then setting 
 aside for a week or so to "set" firmly. 
 
 XXIII. Fill a bottle one-fourth full 
 of freshly-precipitated, washed and 
 drained casein, fill the bottle with so- 
 dium silicate solution, and shake occa- 
 sionally, until the casein is dissolved. 
 
 Use like the preceding.

 Puncture Cement. 
 
 A patented preparation for the auto- 
 matic repairing of punctures in bicycle 
 tires consists of glycerin holding gela- 
 tinous silica or aluminum hydrate in 
 suspension. Three volumes of glycerin 
 are mixed with one volume of liquid

 1059 
 
 water-glass and an acid is stirred in. 
 The resulting jelly is diluted with three 
 additional volumes of glycerin, and from 
 four to six ounces of this fluid are 
 placed in each tire. In case of punc- 
 ture, the internal pressure of the air 
 forces the fluid into the hole, which it 
 closes.

 This is a good cement for mending 
 sandstone, and is useful in repairing the 
 fronts of houses built of this stone. Any 
 shade of the stone can be obtained by 
 the addition of raw or burnt sienna or 
 umber. It may also be used for mend- 
 ing cracks or chips in mortars and 
 other stoneware.

 Water-Proof Cement. 
 
 XXVII. Cement absolutely water and 
 acid-proof may be made by mixing 6 
 parts of Burgundy pitch, 1 part of shred- 
 ded guta-percha, and 3 parts of pow- 
 dered pumice. Melt the gutta-percha 
 very carefully add the pumice stone, 
 and then the pitch previously melted. 
 This is to be used while hot. It may 
 be used for mending photographic trays, 
 stoneware, woodenware and many other 
 things. 
 
 See also Glue, Waterproof. 
 WinchelPs Paste or Cement. 
 
 XXVIII. These are Prof. Winchell's 
 own directions : Take 4 ounces of clear 
 gum arabic, 3 ounces of fine starch and 
 1 ounce of white sugar. Pulverize the 
 gum arabic, and dissolve it in as much 
 water as the laundress would use for 
 the quantity of starch indicated. Dis- 
 solve the starch and sugar in the gum 
 solution. Then cook in boiling water, 
 until the starch becomes clear. The 
 cement should be as thick as tar, and 
 kept so. It can be kept from spoiling 
 by dropping in a lump of camphor, or 
 a little oil of clove or sassafras. This 
 cement is very strong and will stick 
 to glazed surfaces, and is good to re- 
 pair broken rocks, minerals, or fossils. 
 CHAIR-LEATHER POLISH. 
 
 See Leather Polish. 
 CHAMOIS SKIN, To Clean. 
 
 In a suitable vessel. place a weak solu- 
 tion of sodium hydrate and add to this 
 some soap shavings or soap solution. 
 Throw the chamois into this, let soak 
 for two or three hours, and then rub it 
 clean. Rinse in clean tepid suds, wring 
 out, wrap in a cloth and dry quickly. 
 When dry, rub together or brush with 
 a stiff brush, to restore softness. 
 
 Another method 'highly recommended 
 is to rub the chamois thoroughly with 
 soap, then allow it to remain for 2 hours 
 in a weak, warm solution of sal soda. 
 and rinse until clean. Instead of rins- 
 ing in clean water and removing all 
 traces of soap, rinse in a weak, soapy 
 
1060 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 solution of soda, such as was used for 
 washing in the first place. It is the 
 soap left in the leather by the rinsing 
 solution that keeps it soft and smooth. 
 After rinsing, wring out the leather in 
 a coarse towel and dry quickly; then 
 brush well, and pull and rub it thor- 
 oughly in the hands. If this method 
 is followed carefully the leather is said 
 to come out soft and pliable. 
 
 CHEMICAL, GARDEN. 
 
 This may be prepared as follows : 
 Place a quantity of sand in a wide- 
 mouthed bottle (or better, a half gallon 
 fish-globe) to the depth of 2 or 3 
 inches; in this layer of sand, slightly 
 imbed a few pieces of copper sulfate, 
 aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate, chrome- 
 alum, lead acetate, calcium chlorid, and 
 .magnesium and manganese sulfates; 
 pour over the whole a solution of so- 
 dium silicate (commercial water-glass) 
 one part and water three parts, care be- 
 ing taken not to disarrange the chemi- 
 cals in pouring in the solution. Upon 
 standing a week or so, a dense growth 
 of the silicates of the various bases used 
 will be seen in various colors, and fan- 
 tastic shapes. Now displace the solution 
 of the sodium silicate with clear water, 
 by conveying a small stream of water 
 through a small rubber tube (such as 
 nursing bottle tubing) into the ves- 
 sel, which will gradually displace the 
 silicate of soda solution. Care must be 
 taken not to disarrange or break down 
 the growth with the stream of water. 
 When successful, this produces a very 
 beautiful scene. Other sulfates, such as 
 those of chromium, cobalt, nickel, etc., 
 may also be used. 
 
 The following so-called "metallic 
 trees" are similar to the preceding : For 
 a silver tree, dissolve two ten-cent pieces 
 in 2 fluidrams of concentrated nitric 
 acid, evaporating nearly to dryness to 
 drive off excess of acid, cool, and dis- 
 solve the resulting crystalline salts in 
 sufficient distilled water to make a sat- 
 urated solution. This solution will be 
 
 slightly blue on account of the copper 
 which is alloyed with coin silver. Place 
 the solution in a glass vessel with a 
 curved bottom. Add a drop of mercury 
 the size of a large pea and set aside for 
 24 hours or place in the window. An 
 arborescent growth of mercury and 
 silver amalgam will be produced which 
 may be kept indefinitely. 
 
 To make a lead tree place in a tall 
 jar or wide-mouthed bottle a solution 
 made by dissolving 4 ounces of lead ace- 
 tate in one quart of water. Place the 
 vessel where it will not be subject to 
 vibration, and suspend in it a strip or 
 cylinder of zinc ; battery zinc answers 
 the purpose very well. An abundant 
 growth of crystalline spangles of metal- 
 lic lead will collect on the zinc within 
 48 hours. 
 
 To grow a tin tree dilute commercial 
 tin chlorid solution with 40 times its 
 bulk of water and suspend a strip or 
 pencil of zinc in it as in the case of 
 the lead tree. The growth wall be very 
 similar to that of the lead tree. 
 CHIMNEY CLEANERS. 
 
 A mixture of 2 parts of common salt 
 and 1 part of sulfur has been used 
 for this purpose. A mixture of sal 
 ammoniac and sulfur has also been used 
 for this purpose.

 Creams. 
 
 Under this heading are mentioned 
 those preparations which are of a sapon- 
 aceous character. 
 
 Various names are used for these 
 preparations, such as Electric Cleansing 
 Compound, Lightning Renovator, Jap- 
 anese Cleansing Cream, Excelsior Clean- 
 ing Fluid, Erasine, Detergent Cream, 
 Universal Cleanser, Magic Clothes 
 Cleaner, etc. 
 
 The following would be suitable di- 
 rections for these preparations : 
 
 To remove grease-spots from clothes. 
 — Spread the part with the stains upon 
 a table, putting a folded towel below 
 the spots ; rub in the sream in a circular 
 direction by means of a sponge, then 
 rinse in clear water. 
 
 To brighten black clothes.— Sponge the 
 whole of the garment equally with the 
 cream, first having removed any stains 
 as above directed. Then hang out in 
 the open air to dry, and iron if neces- 
 sary. 
 
 To renovate carpets. — After thorough- 
 ly switching the carpet, or relaying after 
 beating, take a stiff brush, such as a 
 fibre scrubbing brush, and apply the 
 cream over the whole surface, rubbing 
 the stained parts hard. Finish off with 
 a damp washing cloth. 
 
 To clean flannels. — A teacupful of 
 the cream to be mixed with 10 gallons 
 of water. In this mixture steep the 
 flannels all night, and it will be found 
 that they wash with ease next morning. 
 
 For cleaning paint. — Add a teacupful 
 to a pailful of lukewarm water. 
 
 To clean windows. — Mix i part of the 
 cream with 5 parts of plain water. 
 
 Wood or denatured alcohol may be 
 substituted for ordinary alcohol in mak- 
 ing these mixtures.

 CORKS, IMPERVIOUS AND ACID- 
 PROOF. 
 
 The most common method of render- 
 ing corks impervious and acid-proof is 
 to immerse them in melted paraffin. The 
 following process leaves them supple 
 while making them acid-proof and im- 
 pervious : Plunge the corks into a so- 
 lution of gelatin or common glue, 15 
 parts, in 24 parts of glycerin and 500 
 parts of water, heated to 44 or 48 C, 
 and keep them there for several hours. 
 On removing the corks, which should 
 be weighted down in the solution, dry 
 them in the shade until they are free 
 from all surplus moisture. They are 
 now perfectly tight, retaining at the 
 same time the greater portion of their 
 elasticity and suppleness. To render 
 them acid-proof, they should now be 
 treated in a mixture of petrolatum, 2 
 parts, and paraffin, 7 parts, heated to 
 about 40 C. This second operation 
 may be avoided by adding to the gelatin 
 solution a little ammonium or potassium 
 dichromate and afterwards exposing the 
 corks to the light. 
 
 A patented process brought out some 
 years ago consisted in immersing corks 
 in a solution of caoutchouc, 1, in ben- 
 zol, 19, drying the corks thus treated in 
 a vacuum, and freeing from odor by 
 exposure to air. 
 
 Another patented method of treating 
 corks is to soak in a solution of casein 
 
 . . .av.oz. 4 
 . . .av.oz. 2

 and then in formaldehyde solution,

 DENATURED ALCOHOL. 
 
 There are at present two general for- 
 mulas for denatured alcohol in use, eith- 
 er one of which may be used by any 
 manufacturer who can use denatured 
 alcohol. 
 
 The first and most common one is 
 made up as follows: 
 
 Formula No. I. 
 
 Ethyl alcohol gall, ioo 
 
 Methyl alcohol gall. 10 
 
 Benzine gall. Vz 
 
 Where such a formula as this is re- 
 quired in an aqueous solution the ben- 
 zine is of course thrown out, giving the 
 solution a milky appearance. In this 
 case the other general formula may be 
 used. 
 
 Formula Xo. 2. 
 
 Ethyl alcohol gall. 100 
 
 Methyl alcohol gall. 2 
 
 Pyridine bases gall. y 2 
 
 Whenever generally denatured alcohol 
 is ordered, Formula Xo. 1 will be ship- 
 ped unless Formula Xo. 2 is specially 
 ordered. 
 
 In addition to these two general for- 
 mulas for denatured alcohol a number 
 of special formulas have been author- 
 ized to be used in the manufacture of 
 certain classes of goods. In order to 
 buy these specially denatured alcohols it 
 is necessary to obtain a permit first 
 from the Collector of Internal Revenue, 
 as a simple permit to use denatured al- 
 cohol will not suffice. Some of the spe- 
 cial formulas are as follows : 
 
 Formula Xo. 3. 
 For the manufacture of celluloid, py- 
 ralin and similar products. 
 
 Ethyl alcohol gall. 100 
 
 Methyl alcohol gall. 5 
 
 Camphor lb. 7 
 
 Formula Xo. 4. 
 For use in the manufacture of trans- 
 parent soap. 
 
 Ethyl alcohol gall. 100 
 
 Methyl alcohol gall. 5 
 
 Castor oil gall. 1 
 
 36 B. caustic soda solution. gall. V2 
 
 Formula Xo. 5. 
 For the manufacture of shellac var- 
 nish. 
 
 Ethyl alcohol gall. 100 
 
 Methyl alcohol gall. 5 
 
 Formula No. 6. 
 For the manufacture of smoking and

 DISINFECTANTS AND DISINFEC- 
 TION. 
 
 The object of disinfection is to pre- 
 vent the extension of infectious or con- 
 tagious diseases by destroying specific 
 infectious material, commonly known as 
 bacteria, microbes or germs, which give 
 rise to them. This is accomplished by 
 the use of disinfectants. 
 
 Popularly the term disinfection is 
 used in a much broader sense. Any 
 chemical agent which destroys or masks 
 bad odors, or which arrests putrefactive 
 decomposition is spoken of as a "disin- 
 fectant." And in the absence of any in- 
 fectious disease it is common to speak 
 of "disinfecting" a foul cess-pool, or 
 bad smelling stable, or privy vault. 
 
 This popular use of the term has led 
 to much misapprehension, and the agents 
 which have been found to destroy bad 
 odors — deodorizers — or to arrest putre- 
 factive decomposition — antiseptics — have 
 been confidently recommended and ex- 
 tensively used for the destruction of dis-

 ease germs in the excreta of patients 
 with cholera, typhoid fever, etc. 
 
 The various consequences which are 
 likely to result from such misapprehen- 
 sion and misuse of the word "disinfect- 
 ant" will be appreciated when it is 
 known that many of the agents which 
 have been found useful as deodorizers, 
 or as antiseptics, are entirely without 
 value for the destruction of disease 
 germs. This is true, for example, as re- 
 gards the iron sulfate or copperas, a 
 salt which has been extensively used 
 with the idea that it is a valuable disin- 
 fectant. As a matter of fact, iron sul- 
 fate in saturated solution does not de- 
 stroy the vitality of disease germs or 
 the infecting power of material contain- 
 ing them. This salt is, nevertheless, a 
 very valuable antiseptic, and its low 
 price makes it one of the most available 
 agents for the arrest of putrefactive de- 
 composition in privy vaults, etc. 
 
 Antiseptic agents also exercise a re- 
 straining influence upon the develop- 
 ment of disease germs, and their use 
 during epidemics is to be recommended, 
 when masses of organic material in the 
 vicinity of human habitations cannot be 
 completely destroyed, or removed or 
 disinfected. 
 
 While an antiseptic agent is not neces- 
 sarily a disinfectant, all disinfectants are 
 antiseptics, for putrefactive decomposi- 
 tion is due to the development of 
 "germs" of the same class as that to 
 which disease germs belong, and the 
 agents which destroy the latter also de- 
 stroy the bacteria of putrefaction, when 
 brought in contact with them in suffi- 
 cient quantity, or restrain their develop- 
 ment when present in smaller amounts. 
 
 A large number of the proprietary 
 "disinfectants" so-called, which are in 
 the market, are simply deodorizers or 
 antiseptics, of greater or less value, and 
 are entirely untrustworthy for disinfect- 
 ing purposes. 
 
 Antiseptics are to be used at all times 
 
 when it is impracticable to remove filth 
 
 | from the vicinity of human habitations, 
 
 but they are a poor substitute for clean- 
 liness. 
 
 During the prevalence of epidemic 
 diseases, such as yellow fever, cholera, 
 typhoid fever, etc., it is better to use in 
 privy vaults, cess pools, etc., those anti- 
 septics which are also disinfectants — 
 i. e., germicides ; and when the contents 
 of such vessels are known to be infected 
 this becomes imperative. Disease germs 
 exist not only in dejecta, but also in the 
 atmosphere; they may be attached to 
 clothing, the germs of tuberculosis may 
 exist in sputa, etc. 
 
 In the sick room we have disease 
 germs at a disadvantage, for we know 
 fairly well how to find them as well as 
 how to destroy them. Having this 
 knowledge, our efforts should be direct- 
 ed to restrict the dissemination and 
 propagation of these germs. 
 
 The disinfectants that are of the most 
 value depend on the immediate object 
 to be accomplished. Experiments have 
 shown that among the most efficient of 
 all true disinfectants must be ranked 
 corrosive sublimate. But this is poison- 
 ous also to the higher animals, and can- 
 not, therefore, have universal applica- 
 tion. For disinfecting excrementitious 
 products, it must be considered the best 
 agent there is, and it can be employed 
 also in treating articles of clothing, etc., 
 which should also be boiled before they 
 are again used. Potassium permanga- 
 nate, which is far less poisonous, is use- 
 ful, especially from its deodorizing pow- 
 er. While these substances can be em- 
 ployed in the form of a spray, and thus 
 diffused through an apartment, they 
 should be replaced in many cases by 
 gaseous agents, which can more readily 
 pursue the disease germs floating in the 
 air. Of gaseous disinfectants, choice is 
 had between formaldehyde, sulfurous 
 acid, chlorin and bromin, and to this list 
 may be added also iodin. The results of 
 recent researches prove that, of the 
 agents available from their cheapnes 
 disinfectants, corrosive sublimate, po- 
 tassium permanganate, formaldehyde, 
 
1068 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 chlorin, bromin, and perhaps the zinc 
 chlorid, are the only ones having suffi- 
 cient germicidal power to be worthy of 
 consideration. 
 
 Disinfectants and Antiseptics — Prin- 
 ciples to be Regarded in Use of. 
 
 i. Seek to prevent the disease germs 
 from rinding lodgment where they can 
 multiply or long retain life. To this end, 
 houses, and especially hospitals and pest- 
 houses, must be thoroughly ventilated. 
 Scatter these germs where there is plenty 
 of light and air, and they become harm- 
 less ; in damp, dark spots they retain 
 their vitality a long time, but sunlight, 
 thorough desiccation, and the oxidizing 
 action of the air, will speedily destroy 
 them. There must be no neglected places 
 about cellars or basements where they 
 can hide themselves and thrive and mul- 
 tiply. Every part of the house, and, 
 most of all, the drains, privy vaults, 
 etc., whose function is to aid in dispos- 
 ing of refuse material, must be kept 
 scrupulously clean. In the instruction 
 issued by the National Board of Health, 
 these points are emphasized and reiter- 
 ated : "Disinfection cannot compensate 
 for want of cleanliness nor of ventila- 
 tion." "The most available agents in 
 combating infectious diseases are fresh 
 air and cleanliness." 
 
 2. Endeavor to prevent the propaga- 
 tion of these germs by sterilizing the 
 soil on which they fall. Accumulations 
 of refuse 'matter cannot be altogether 
 avoided, but by the free use of antisep- 
 tics they can be kept in such a condi- 
 tion that spores will not readily germi- 
 nate in them. It is well known that de- 
 composing organic matter affords the 
 most favorable possible soil for the 
 growth of the lower forms of vegetable 
 and animal organisms. While foul odors 
 are not, in themselves, an evidence of 
 the presence of contagion, they give 
 warning that there is danger, and it is 
 well to heed the warning. 
 
 3. Attack the germs themselves, and 
 endeavor to lower or destroy their vital- 
 
 ity. This is what is to be accomplished 
 by the use of disinfectants; but the 
 germs are organisms of a very low 
 grade of life, and are therefore not 
 easy to kill. The study of the various 
 disinfectants, with especial reference to 
 their relative value in different diseases 
 or under different circumstances, there- 
 fore becomes an important one. It is 
 also essential to know the best means 
 and modes of using them. 
 
 Disinfectants, When and Where to 
 Use. 
 
 Disinfection of Excreta. — The infec- 
 tious character of the dejecta of patients 
 suffering from cholera and typhoid fev- 
 er is well established, and this is true of 
 mild cases and of the earliest stages of 
 these diseases as well as of severe and 
 fatal cases. It is probable that epidemic 
 dysentery, summer complaint, diphtheria 
 and other diseases are disseminated by 
 means of the alvine discharges of the 
 sick. These should therefore be thor- 
 oughly disinfected. In cholera, diphthe- 
 ria, yellow fever and scarlet fever, all 
 vomited material should be regarded as 
 infectious and should be disinfected. As 
 in tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever 
 and infectious pneumonia, the sputa 
 should be disinfected or destroyed by 
 fire. 
 
 Disinfection of the Person. — The sur- 
 face of the body of a sick person, or of 
 his attendants, when soiled with infec- 
 tious discharges, should be at once 
 cleansed with a suitable disinfecting 
 agent. For this purpose Labarraque's 
 solution, diluted with five times its vol- 
 ume of water, may be used. After care- 
 fully washing soiled surfaces with this 
 solution, the disinfectant itself is to be 
 washed away with a towel wet with 
 water or with diluted alcohol, 1 part to 
 10. The surface of the body of the 
 dead may be disinfected by the use of 
 the same solution, and cloths wet with 
 this solution should be placed over ori- 
 fices from which infectious material is 
 likely to escape. 
 
 In diseases like small-pox and scarlet

 1069 
 
 fever, in which the infectious agent is 
 given off from the entire surface of the 
 body, occasional ablutions with Labarra- 
 que's solution, diluted with 20 parts of 
 water, will be more suitable than the 
 stronger solution above recommended. 
 
 Disinfection of Clothing. — Boiling for 
 half an hour will destroy the vitality of 
 all known disease germs, and there is 
 no better way of disinfecting clothing 
 and bedding which can be washed, than 
 to put it through the ordinary opera- 
 tions of the laundry. No delay should 
 occur, however, between the time of re- 
 moving soiled clothing from the person 
 or bed of the sick and its immersion 
 into boiling water. If circumstances 
 make it impracticable to do this at once, 
 clothing should be immersed in a suita- 
 ble disinfecting fluid. 
 
 For the complete disinfection of an 
 apartment in which there has been a 
 case of infectious disease, it is necessary 
 to fill the room completely with formal- 
 dehyde vapor, chlorin, bromin or sulfur- 
 ous acid gas, and to keep it shut up for 
 several hours, until every crevice is 
 thoroughly penetrated and permeated by 
 the disinfectant. But this thorough use 
 of disinfectants is only admissible for 
 the prevention of contagion after the re- 
 covery or death of the patient. 
 
 Disinfection of Privy Vaults, Cess- 
 Pools, Etc. — When the excreta — not pre- 
 viously disinfected— of patients with 
 cholera or typhoid fever, have been 
 thrown into a privy vault this should be 
 infected, and disinfection should be re- 
 sorted to as soon as the fact is discov- 
 ered, or whenever there is reasonable 
 suspicion that such is the case. This 
 •may be accomplished with corrosive sub- 
 limate or with chlorinated lime. The 
 amount used must be in proportion to 
 the amount of material to be disin- 
 fected. 
 
 Disinfection of Apartments. — In the 
 sick-room no disinfectant can take the 
 place of free ventilation and cleanliness. 
 It is an axiom in sanitary science that it 
 is impracticable to disinfect an occupied 
 
 apartment; for the reason that disease 
 germs are not destroyed by the presence 
 in the atmosphere of any known disin- 
 fectant in respirable quantity. Bad odors 
 may be neutralized, but this does not 
 constitute disinfection in the proper 
 sense of the term. These bad odors are, 
 for the most part, an indication of want 
 of cleanliness or of proper ventilation ; 
 and it is better to turn contaminated air 
 out of doors than to attempt to purify 
 it by the use of volatile chemical agents, 
 such as carbolic acid, chlorin, etc., which 
 are all more or less offensive to the sick 
 and are useless as far as real disinfec- 
 tion is concerned. 
 
 Use i pound of corrosive sublimate 
 for every 500 pounds — estimated — of 
 fecal matter contained in the vault, or 1 
 pound of chlorinated lime to every 30 
 pounds. 
 
 Disinfection of Ingesta. — It is well es- 
 tablished that cholera and typhoid fever 
 are very frequently and perhaps usually 
 transmitted through the medium of in- 
 fected water or articles of food, and 
 especially milk. Fortunately there is a 
 simple means at hand for disinfecting 
 such infected fluids. This consists in 
 the application of heat. The boiling 
 temperature maintained for half an 
 hour kills all known disease germs. So 
 far as the germs of cholera, yellow fev- 
 er and diphtheria are concerned, there 
 is good reason to believe that a temper- 
 ature considerably below the boiling 
 point of water will destroy them. But 
 in order to keep on the safe side it is 
 best not to trust anything short of the 
 boiling point, ioo° C. (212 F.) when 
 the object in view is to disinfect food 
 or drink which is open to suspicion of 
 containing the germs of any infectious 
 disease. 
 
 During the prevalence of an epidemic 
 of cholera, it is well to boil all water for 
 drinking purposes, unless it comes from 
 a source which is beyond suspicion, and 
 especially if it is obtained from wells, 
 or from rivers receiving the sewage of 
 towns, etc. After boiling, the water may 
 
1070 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 be filtered, if necessary, and then cooled 
 with ice placed around the water ves- 
 sel, not put directly into the water. 
 
 Forms of Disinfectants. — Disinfect- 
 ants may be used in the form of gases, 
 as in chlorin, bromin or sulfur fumiga- 
 tion, or they may be used as liquids to 
 be sprinkled about the sick room or 
 poured upon cloths suspended about the 
 room or poured upon excreta and other 
 infected or infectious matter, or as li- 
 quids to be sprayed about the room by 
 means of an atomizer (so-called aro- 
 matic disinfectants are used in this man- 
 ner) ; they may be used as powders 
 which consist of inert powder mixed 
 with disinfectants; or the latter mix- 
 ture may be formed into cakes; the dis- 
 infectants may also be used as pastilles, 
 to be ignited in the room. The fumi- 
 gating pastilles, powders, etc., of Part 
 IV are also used with the idea of pro- 
 viding disinfection, but their disinfect- 
 ing powers are very weak indeed. The 
 incenses are also used for a similar pur- 
 pose and are similarly inefficacious. 
 
 Formaldehyde as a Disinfectant. 
 
 Perhaps the most popular and most 
 modern substance for room and house 
 disinfection is formaldehyde, which is 
 recognized by the U. S. P. under the 
 name solution of formaldehyde and con- 
 tains 40% of formic aldehyde. The lat- 
 ter substance is formed by the incom- 
 plete oxidation of methyl alcohol. Un- 
 der certain conditions it forms a solid 
 polymeric modification known as para- 
 form. 
 
 Formaldehyde may be applied direct- 
 ly, in the form of a 57c solution, to sub- 
 stances that require disinfection, and in 
 the case of refuse, excreta and similar 
 substances should be thoroughly mixed 
 with them. A 5% solution of formalde- 
 hyde is generally regarded as superior 
 to carbolic acid of the same strength as 
 a general disinfectant. 
 
 In disinfecting with gaseous formal- 
 dehyde it is important that the com- 
 partments to be disinfected be tightly 
 
 closed so that a sufficient concentration 
 of gas may be held in contact with the 
 infected substances a sufficient length of 
 time. The temperature of the air is an 
 important factor in securing efficient ac- 
 tion, formaldehyde being much more 
 energetic in a warm atmosphere than in 
 a cold one. The best authorities state 
 that gaseous formaldehyde disinfection 
 should not be attempted if the tempera- 
 ture of air is below io° C. The gas is 
 most conveniently secured by liberating 
 it from the 40% solution or from the 
 solid paraform. A number of methods 
 of accomplishing this, among which are 
 the following ; 
 
 Heating Under Pressure. — Portable 
 autoclaves specially designed for the 
 purpose are charged with a sufficient 
 amount of formaldehyde, the quantity 
 depending upon the cubic air space to be 
 disinfected. The autoclave is closed and 
 heat is applied until the required pres- 
 sure within the autoclave is attained. 
 The gas which has been liberated from 
 the solution by the heat is allowed to 
 flow through an outlet tube into the 
 room or rooms which are to be disin- 
 fected. The room is then closed for 2 
 to 12 hours, the shorter time if only 
 smooth surfaces are to be acted upon, 
 the longer if penetration into fabrics is 
 desired. Ten ounces of formaldehyde 
 should be used for each 1000 cubic feet 
 of air space. 
 
 Heating Without Pressure. — This 
 method is similar to the preceding. The 
 formaldehyde is placed in a specially de- 
 signed retort and heated with a lamp. 
 The gas is conducted into the compart- 
 ment to be disinfected by means of a 
 small tube which passes through the 
 keyhole or other small aperture. The 
 evolution of gas by this method takes 
 place more slowly than when generated 
 under pressure and a longer time is re- 
 quired for disinfection. The rooms 
 should remain closed for at least 6 
 hours, and for 12 hours if penetration 
 into the interior of fabrics, etc., is de- 
 sired. 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1071 
 
 Spraying Method. — In this, the for- 
 maldehyde is sprayed upon the objects 
 which require disinfection or upon 
 sheets which are hung up in the com- 
 partment containing the infected mate- 
 rials. The gas is liberated by simple 
 evaporation, this evaporation being fa- 
 vored by the wide surface which is ex- 
 posed. 
 
 Chemical Means. — Several methods of 
 liberating formaldehyde from the solu- 
 tion without the use of artificial heat 
 have been proposed. The most impor- 
 tant of these is known as the "perman- 
 ganate method." The formaldehyde is 
 poured on potassium permanganate 
 when a violent chemical reaction takes 
 place immediately, heat is generated, 
 and a rapid liberation of formaldehyde 
 gas takes place. Experiments have 
 shown that when the formaldehyde and 
 permanganate are mixed in the propor- 
 tion of 6 of the former to 5 of the lat- 
 ter, by weight, 50% of the formalde- 
 hyde employed is liberated in the form 
 of gas. Therefore twice as much for- 
 maldehyde will be required for disin- 
 fection as when any of the preceding 
 methods are employed. 
 
 Heating Paraform. — Lamps provided 
 with a pan for holding the paraform 
 are obtainable. Place the paraform on 
 the pan and apply heat by means of an 
 alcohol lamp. The evolution of gas in 
 this manner is slow. Two ounces of 
 paraform are required for the disinfec- 
 tion of 1000 cubic feet of space. 
 
 Burning of Wood Alcohol.— -There are 
 various lamps made which incompletely 
 burn or oxidize wood alcohol, formic 
 aldehyde (formaldehyde) being the 
 product of this oxidation. 
 
 Method of the Health Department of 
 Chicago.— The Health Department of 
 Chicago disinfects rooms and entire 
 dwellings simply by suspending therein 
 sheets thoroughly sprayed with formal- 
 dehyde. Sheets of ordinary size will 
 hold from 5 to 6 ounces of liquid with- 
 out dripping and this quantity has been 
 found to be sufficient for the thorough 
 
 disinfection of 1000 cubic feet of air 
 space, the rooms being sealed and al- 
 lowed to remain closed for 5 hours. 
 More than one sheet may be used if 
 necessary. When the room is opened, 
 the density of the gas is still so great 
 as to preclude respiration until after 
 doors and windows have been opened 
 for some little time. On the other hand, 
 the air is respirable within a very few. 
 minutes after the sheet has been re- 
 moved, and there is no lingering smell 
 of formaldehyde for days after, as is 
 the case when the gas is evolved by the 
 action of heat. This is due to the fact 
 that some paraform is produced by the 
 heat, this being retained in the meshes 
 of the fabric, to be slowly converted 
 into the gaseous form through several 
 succeeding days. 
 
 Disinfectant Liquids of the N. F.

 The U. S. P. recognizes Solution of 
 Zinc Chlorid and Solution of Chlorin- 
 ated Soda, the N. F. mentions Com- 
 pound Solution of Zinc and Aluminum 
 and Compound Solution of Zinc and 
 Iron. For formulas for these, see Part

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Dissolve the alum in y 2 gallon of boil- 
 ing water, then add the soda which pre- 
 cipitates the aluminium hydrate. Muri- 
 atic acid should then be added in suffi- 
 cient quantity to dissolve the precipi- 
 tate. The other salts should then be 
 dissolved in 3 pints of water ; this'should 
 be added to the first solution, and then 
 enough water added to make 1 gallon.

 Cresylic acid av.oz. 40 
 
 Rosin av.oz. 8 
 
 Caustic potash av.oz. 1, dr. 1 
 
 Water, to make gall. Y2 
 
 Place the cresylic acid in a suitable 
 dish, add the rosin, and apply heat until 
 the latter is melted and dissolved. Dis- 
 solve the potassa in about 5 fluidounces 
 of water, add to the previous mixture 
 and boil until the rosin is completely 
 saponified as shown by the liquid be- 
 coming clear and homogeneous. Cool 
 and add enough water to make Yi gal- 
 lon. 
 
 If the caustic potash is less than 85% 
 in strength, more of it will be required. 
 If saponification is not completed after 
 30 minutes boiling, it is an indication 
 that more caustic potash is needed. 
 
 The cresylic acid for this purpose is 
 the crude article, which may be pur- 
 chased cheaply. 
 
 DOSES, RULES FOR. 
 
 Wiggins' rules for doses are as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 1. The dose of all infusions is 1 to 2 
 fluidounces, except digitalis, which is 2 
 to 4 fluidrams. 
 
 2. All poisonous tinctures, 5 to 20 
 minims, except tincture of aconite, which 
 is 1 to 10 minims. 
 
 3. All wines, from Y2 to 1 fluidram, 
 except wine of opium, which is 5 to 15 
 minims. 
 
 4. Most solid extracts can be given 
 in doses of Yz to 1 grain; the exceptions 
 are the extracts of poisonous drugs. 
 
 5. All diluted acids, from 5 to 20 
 minims, except hydrocyanic acid, which 
 is from 2 to 5 minims. 
 
 6. All waters, from 1 to 2 fluid- 
 ounces, except chloroform, creosote, 
 cherry-laurel, bitter almond, and am- 
 monia waters. 
 
 7. Medicated syrups, usually from Y2 
 to 2 fluidrams. 
 
 8. Mixtures, from 1 to 4 fluidrams. 
 
 9. Spirits, from ^ to 1 fluidram, ex- 
 cept spirit of glonoin. 
 
 10. Essential oils, 1 to 5 drops. 
 Young's rule to determine the dose of 
 
 a child is to divide the age of the child 
 by the age plus 12; the quotient repre- 
 sents the portion of the adult dose to be 
 given to the child. For example : The 
 age of the child is 6; divide 6 by 6 plus 
 12 = 6/18=^3; a 6-year-old should re- 
 ceive Yi of the dose given to an adult. 
 DRAIN BOARDS, Copper, To Clean. 
 Copper drain boards at bars and soda 
 fountains may be cleaned quickly and 
 satisfactorily with the following mix- 
 ture : 
 
 Whiting parts 4 
 
 Tripoli parts 3 
 
 Oxalic acid, powder part 1 
 
 DRIERS FOR PAINTS AND VAR- 
 NISHES. (Siccatives.) 
 
 Manganese borate alone may be used 
 as a solid drier ; however, its action is 
 usually too powerful, and it is generally 
 mixed with other substances. The fol- 
 lowing mixtures are used : Zinc oxid, 
 4 parts, manganese borate 1 part ; and 
 equal parts zinc oxid and manganese 
 borate. 
 
 The manganese borate may be pre- 
 pared from the residue remaining after 
 the extraction of chlorin from a mix- 
 ture of black oxid of manganese and 
 hydrochloric acid. 
 
 Cobalt borate may be employed in- 
 stead of the manganese borate. 
 
 Liquid drier may be produced by 
 heating 100 parts of linseed oil over the 
 naked flame, stirring constantly until it 
 weighs 85 parts.

 DYES, DOMESTIC. 
 
 The formulas here given are the old- 
 fashioned kind which housewives used 
 before the various coal-tar dyes became 
 so common. The different dyewoods 
 were used, usually in conjunction with a 
 mordant, also various chemicals such as 
 copperas, blue vitriol, oxalic acid, alum, 
 Prussian blue, ferrocyanid and bichrom- 
 ate of potash, sugar of lead, etc. 
 
 All goods should be well washed with 
 soap and water before dyeing, rinsed 
 thoroughly with clean water, and then 
 immersed in the dyeing liquid. In mak- 
 ing the latter, the chemicals and ex- 
 tracts that are used should be thorough- 
 ly dissolved, and the solutions should al- 
 ways be strained to remove insoluble 
 particles or mechanical impurities. 
 
 The dyeing liquid is usually employed 
 in a hot or boiling condition, and the 
 goods dyed in it should be stirred about 
 almost constantly to permit of an even 
 distribution of the dye, that is, to pre- 
 vent spotting. 
 
 Fresh water, such as rain water, should 
 be used whenever possible, as the salts 
 in hard water decompose some of the 
 chemicals used in dyeing. 
 
 The volume of liquid used should al- 
 ways be sufficient to completely cover 
 the goods. If it does not do so, more 
 water must be added and, if necessary, 
 more of the dye. 
 
 The quantities in the formulas here 
 given are usually sufficient for from I 
 to 2 pounds of goods. 
 I. Black (for cotton and wool) : 
 
 Extract of logwood av.oz. 2 
 
 Copper sulfate av.oz. 1 
 
 Dissolve each one separately in hot 
 water. Saturate the goods in the cop- 
 per solution, then pour this liquid into 
 the logwood solution. Keep the mix- 
 ture at almost the boiling point for 20 
 minutes ; if the goods is cotton, boil for 
 10 minutes. The goods should be stirred 
 constantly to prevent spotting. To set 
 the color, dissolve 8 ounces of common 
 salt in a gallon of hot water, dip the 
 goods in this solution, let remain until 
 
 cold, and then hang them up to dry 
 without wringing. 
 
 Instead of the extract of logwood, 1 
 pound of the chips may be used. 
 
 II. Blue (for cotton and wool) : 
 
 Copperas av.oz. 1 
 
 Potassium ferrocyanid ...av.oz. Yz 
 
 Sulfuric acid m. 160, 
 
 Boil the goods in a solution of the 
 
 copperas in water. In a brass or enam- 
 eled kettle, dissolve the ferrocyanid in 
 water, add the acid, then transfer the 
 goods from the copperas solution to the 
 ferrocyanid solution. If the color is 
 not satisfactory, repeat this process sev- 
 eral times. 
 Or use the following: 
 
 Prussian blue av.oz. 1 
 
 Oxalic acid av.oz. Yi 
 
 Dissolve together in hot water, soak 
 the goods in the solution until the de- 
 sired shade is obtained, then wring out, 
 and rinse in alum water. 
 Or the following may be used : 
 
 Red prussiate of potash av.oz. 2 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. Y* 
 
 Oxalic acid av.oz. Y2 
 
 Mordant No. 2 (see below). fl.dr. 3 
 Dissolve the solids in water heated to 
 near the boiling point, add the mordant, 
 soak the goods in the liquid for 1^2 
 hours, then remove them, drain, rinse in 
 clean water, and hang up to dry. 
 
 III. Brown (for cotton and wool) : 
 
 Catechu av.oz. 2 
 
 Copper sulfate av.oz. Ya 
 
 Potassium bichromate av.oz. %. 
 
 Dissolve the catechu in water, im- 
 merse the goods in the liquid, and boil 
 for 20 minutes, stirring constantly mean- 
 while. Also dissolve the two salts in 
 water, remove the goods from the cate- 
 chu solution, allow them to drain fairly 
 well, then transfer them to the second 
 solution, and allow them to remain un- 
 til they have the desired shade. . Finally 
 rinse in clean water and hang up to dry. 
 
 The following is a lighter color for 
 wool only:

 DYEING OF LEATHER. 
 
 I. Black: 
 
 Treat with a solution of ferrous sul- 
 fate or iron acetate. The leather may 
 first be mordanted with a solution of 
 extract of logwood. 
 
 II. Blue: 
 
 Extract 150 grains of nutgall with 32 
 fluidounces of water and brush the 
 leather with this liquid. Then brush 
 over with a solution of 150 grains solu- 
 ble blue aniline and 75 grains of glue in 
 32 fluidounces of water. Use each mix- 
 ture three times, then dry and finish 
 with yelk of egg. 
 
 III. Brown: 
 
 Apply an intimate mixture of 4 av.oz. 
 of umber (raw or burnt), x / 2 av.oz. of 
 lampblack, and 17 fluidounces of oxgall. 
 
 IV. Green : 
 
 Dissolve 1 av. ounce of alum in 1 gal- 
 lon of water which furnishes the mor- 
 dant. 
 
 The dye consists of 4 av. ounces of 
 indigo-carmine dissolved in 7 pints of 
 boiling water, 2 pints of strong decoc- 
 tion of fustic, and 8 fluidounces of log- 
 wood. 
 
 V. Red: 
 
 Apply a tincture made from 1 av. 
 ounce of cochineal and 16 fluidounces of 
 80% alcohol. 
 
 VI. Yellow: 
 
 Extract 1 av. ounce of turmeric and 
 l / 2 av. ounce of gamboge with 24 fluid- 
 ounces. The leather requires mordant-

 DYEING with Tube Paints. 
 
 Another process for dyeing fabrics of 
 all kinds, feathers, etc., is by means of 
 tube paints. Any desired color may be 
 obtained by using the corresponding 
 paint. The latter must always be fresh 
 and soft to obtain a satisfactory result. 
 The immersing liquid is to consist of 
 i ounce of chloroform, i ounce of am- 
 monia water, and I gallon of gasoline, 
 although the latter alone would probably 
 work just as well. To dye the goods 
 rub up the paint with some chloroform 
 to a thin paste and add a sufficient quan- 
 tity of the immersing liquid to dilute 
 properly. Then pass the feathers, fab- 
 ric, or other goods through the liquid, 
 and wave them about in the air for a 
 moment when they will be entirely 
 dried. This is a ver} r expeditious proc- 
 ess. If one dipping does not yield a 
 satisfactor}' color, the article may be 
 redipped. 
 
 EGG COLORS (Liquid). 
 
 Easter egg colors or dyes may be pre- 
 pared in the liquid form by adding a so- 
 lution of any suitable aniline or coal tar 
 dye in wood alcohol to a solution of 
 shellac in wood alcohol. If the odor of 
 wood alcohol be objectionable, a highly 
 purified methyl alcohol (there are vari- 
 ous brands now obtainable) or ordinary 
 alcohol may be used instead. The shel- 
 lac may be replaced with mastic if its 
 color interferes in any way with the 
 beauty of the dyes. 
 
 About 2 av. ounces of the resin should 
 be dissolved in enough alcohol to make 
 a pint of solution. Sufficient of the coal 
 tar dye solution is to be added to im- 
 part the proper tint, the amount re- 
 quired depending upon the coloring 
 power of the dye and upon the concen- 
 tration of the solution. 
 
 This liquid dye may be put up for 
 sale in 2-dram square vials with a brush 
 attached to the stopper, in a manner 
 
 similar to liquid corn cure. In using, 
 boil the eggs for 5 minutes in water, 
 then remove them one by one, dry them 
 well, and paint on the dye. 
 
 EGGS OF PHARAOH'S SERPENTS. 
 
 See Pharaoh's Serpents. 
 
 ELECTRIC LIGHT GLOBES, to 
 
 Color. 
 
 Either of the following two formulas 
 is entirely satisfactory: 
 
 I. Dissolve any desired aniline dye 
 (according to the color wanted) in alco- 
 hol, making a strong solution, then mix 
 this with about twice its volume of col- 
 lodion. The dye used must be perfectly 
 soluble in the alcohol and collodion as 
 otherwise the coloring of the globes will 
 be opaque. 
 
 In using, immerse the globes in the 
 liquid, then withdraw them, and turn 
 them about so that the coating will be 
 even. Then allow to dry, which takes 
 place very quickly. If a heavier coating 
 is desired, the globes must be dipped 
 again in the liquid. 
 
 II. Make a solution of the white of 
 one egg in a pint of soft or distilled 
 water, and filter, taking care that no 
 bubbles remain on the surface of the 
 liquid. The globes should be carefully 
 cleaned and polished, and then dipped 
 in this solution and hung up by a string 
 to dry. After about half an hour, they 
 should be dipped a second time to in- 
 sure a perfect coating. When perfectly 
 dry, dip in the coloring solution which" 
 is to be made by dissolving 10 to 30 
 grains of any suitable coal-tar dye in 4 
 nuidounces of collodion, taking care 
 that the dye is perfectly dissolved, as 
 any undissolved particles will "spot" the 
 globe. If the first coat does not make 
 the globes dark enough, they may be 
 dipped again after they have become 
 dry. A straight-sided graduate or simi- 
 lar vessel with straight sides is the best 
 container for the coloring solution, as 
 less liquid will be required than if some 
 other container were used.

 EMBALMING FLUIDS. 
 
 These preparations contain such sub- 
 stances as arsenic, formaldehyde, thy- 
 mol, boric acid, saltpeter, glycerin and 
 alcohol, arsenic having been in the past

 is the proper amount for a body weigh-

 This may be injected into the aorta, 
 but it is much less trouble to inject into 
 the brachial or femoral artery, or the 
 femoral vein. An anatomical syringe 
 is desirable, but a gravity apparatus 
 that will answer all purposes may be 
 improvised with rubber tubing, stop- 
 cock, etc. A fluidram is sufficient to 
 preserve each ounce of animal weight. 
 For human bodies it is well to calculate 
 2Y 2 flnidounces per pound weight.

 ETCHING OF GLASSWARE. 
 
 Very often the druggist would like 
 to etch glassware such as reagent bot- 
 tles and their stoppers, receiving bottles 
 for percolates and filtrates, etc. The 
 only available method for doing this on 
 the small scale is by means of hydro- 
 fluoric acid gas generated for this pur- 
 pose from calcium fluorid and concen- 
 trated sulfuric acid. 
 
 The glass to be etched is first cleaned 
 with soap and water to remove all 
 traces of grease, then dried, after which 
 it is to be covered with a thin coating 
 of melted wax or paraffin which may 
 be applied by means of a suitable brush 
 or swab, or the article, if small, may 
 be dipped directly into the melted wax 
 or paraffin. The design to be etched 
 on the glass may be traced by means 
 of a needle, knife point or other simi- 
 lar means which will suggest itself. 
 The excess of wax is to be brushed off 
 
 and all the lines' of the design should 
 be clear. As stated a mixture of cal- 
 cium fluorid and concentrated sulfuric 
 acid is used for etching. A lead dish 
 is the only kind suitable for mixing 
 these two substances. This may be 
 made from any available piece of lead 
 like a short section of lead pipe cut open 
 down the side and then hammered out. 
 Fill the dish about one-third full with 
 powdered calcium fluorid, then add 
 enough of the sulfuric acid to make a 
 thin paste, stirring with a stick of wood. 
 The object to be etched is laid over 
 the dish with the engraved side down 
 in such a manner that the two fit quite 
 snugly. Allow the whole to remain for 
 from 2 to 4 hours, after which the 
 wax is to be removed by scraping and 
 washing with gasoline. If it is desired 
 to make the design more visible, a lit- 
 tle black varnish may be rubbed into 
 the etched parts. 
 
 Hydrofluoric acid gas is a very dele- 
 terious substance to inhale and is dan- 
 gerous even when it comes in contact 
 with the skin. Great care should be ex- 
 ercised during this etching process and 
 the operation should be done under a 
 hood or out of doors.

 In using cover the steel first with 
 soap or melted wax, trace the design 
 with some sharp instrument, then apply 
 the solution with a brush, allowing it 
 to etch into the metal. After a few 
 minutes the object can be dipped into 
 hot water and the wax or soap be re- 
 moved. 
 
 FEATHERS, BLEACHING OF. 
 
 Feathers turned yellow are bleached 
 according to one process by soaking 
 them for a few hours in a warm soap 
 bath (78 to 85 ° C.) which should not be 
 too strong, rinsing and exposing them, 
 strung upon a thread, for some time 
 to the sun, frequently moistening them 
 meanwhile. 
 
 According to another process, the 
 feathers, after having been treated 
 in the warm soap bath, should be rinsed 
 off and transferred to water acidulated 
 with sulfurous acid. Here they should 
 be allowed to remain for 20 or 30 hours, 
 then washed, drawn through a weak, 
 lukewarm soap bath, and dried in the 
 sun, or left in the sun for I or 2 days, 
 being frequently moistened. 
 
 According to Dobereiner, a solution 
 of ammonium carbonate is the best 
 means of bleaching feathers as it effects 
 the purpose much quicker than sulfur- 
 ous acid.

 FILTER PAPER TOUGHENED. 
 
 Filter paper may be toughened by 
 immersing in concentrated nitric acid 
 and washing with water. It is then re- 
 markably toughened, the product being 
 pervious to liquids, and quite different 
 to the parchment paper made by means 
 of sulfuric acid. It can be washed 
 like a piece of linen. So treated it con- 
 tracts in size, and the ash is dimin- 
 ished, the weight is slightly reduced, 
 and it contains no nitrogen. The tough- 
 ened paper can be used with the vac- 
 uum-pump in ordinary funnels, without 
 extra support, and fits sufficiently close 
 to prevent undue access of air, which 
 is not the case with parchment paper. 
 
1080 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Another admirable way of preparing fil- 
 ters is this : Dip only the apex of the 
 folded paper into nitric acid, and then 
 wash with water; the weak part is thus 
 effectually toughened. 
 FIRES, COLORED. 
 
 The so-called "colored fires" are com- 
 posed essentially of three kinds of in- 
 gredients, viz,. : a combustible, an oxy- 
 gen producer, and a coloring agent. The 
 cheaper "fires" usually contain sulfur 
 as a combustible, while the better ones 
 contain shellac, sometimes lycopodium. 
 Those containing sulfur are not adapted 
 to indoor use because of the irrespir- 
 able sulfurous acid gas which is pro- 
 duced. It is to be noted, also, that 
 "fires" containing a poison like an ar- 
 senic compound or calomel are also 
 not to be employed for in-door use. 
 
 The second kind of ingredient, the 
 oxygen producer, is usually potassium 
 chlorate or potassium nitrate. 
 
 The coloring agents depends, of 
 course, upon the color desired — a bar- 
 ium salt being used for red, a strontium 
 salt for green, a copper salt for blue, 
 etc. 
 
 The ingredients of "fires" should al- 
 ways be quite dry; in fact, it may be 
 necessary to dry them before mixing. 
 They should also be in moderately fine 
 powder. Shellac, which, as is stated, is 
 a common ingredient of these "fires," 
 may be reduced to requisite fineness by 
 grinding in a drug mill. The ingredi- 
 ents now dried and powdered may be 
 mixed by means of the hand or a wood- 
 en (not steel) spatula. Triturating or 
 rubbing in any way like to cause much 
 friction, must be avoided because of the 
 danger of spontaneous combustion. 
 
 Fireworks manufacturers are said to 
 make these "fires" by melting the shel- 
 lac, stirring in the color-bearing com- 
 pound (barium or strontium nitrate, 
 etc.), allowing the mixture to cool, and 
 granulating. Then potassium chlorate 
 and other ingredients are then added. 
 
 To increase the brilliancy, metallic mag- 
 nesium is sometimes added in the pro- 
 portion of about one dram to the pound. 
 
 So-called "tableau lights" are colored 
 fires, and being then intended almost 
 entirely for indoor use, there should be 
 no sulfur, arsenic, mercury, or other 
 deleterious substances present, as stated 
 above. 
 
 A "quick light" for "touching off" 
 tableau lights may be made by mixing 
 30 grains each of potassium chlorate 
 and sugar. This is about or sufficient 
 quantity for one light. Place it along- 
 side of the tableau light and set fire 
 to it. 
 
 The rapidity .of combustion of these 
 "fires" or "lights" depends upon the 
 proportion of the various ingredients. 
 If, for example, there is a large pro- 
 portion of the combustible ingredient, 
 shellac or sulfur, the mixture burns 
 more rapidly than when a smaller pro- 
 portion is present. The formulas given 
 on these pages may therefore be varied 
 somewhat by increasing or decreasing 
 the- combustible, according as a rapid 
 or slow "fire" is wanted.

 FIREWORKS PAPERS. 
 
 These are sheets of bibulous paper 
 saturated with appropriate solutions 
 which, when ignited, burn for a longer 
 or shorter time, as the case may be, 
 with a brilliant colored flame resembling 
 ''Bengal lights" (see Fires, Colored). 
 
 The formulas here given emanate 
 from a French authority. 
 
 The directions for making these pa- 
 pers are to steep unsized papers in the 
 solutions, suspend the papers on a string 
 stretched across a warm room, and 
 allow to dry. Then roll tightly into 
 rolls of suitable length, according to 
 the length of time they are to burn. By 
 rolling tightly a sheet of paper 12 by 
 16 inches may be made to burn for 
 several minutes. 
 
 In making these papers, every pre- 
 caution against fire should be taken. In 
 making the solutions, water-bath heat 
 should be used. 
 
 Fuses. 
 An igniting paper, for "touching off" 
 fireworks, may be made as follows : 
 
 Potassium nitrate dr. i l / 2 
 
 Lead acetate av.oz. 4 
 
 Water fl.oz. 10 
 
 Mix and dissolve the solids. In this 
 solution place sheets of blotting or 
 
 other unsized paper, heat the liquid 
 nearly to boiling, and keep at this tem- 
 perature for 20 minutes. If the paper 
 is to be "slow," it may be removed 
 from the liquid, hung on strings to dry, 
 cut into strips, and then rolled. If 
 a quick-burning paper is wanted, the 
 heating should be repeated with a fresh 
 charge of the solution.

 VI. The Babcock fire extinguisher is 
 charged with a solution of sodium bi- 
 carbonate in water and sulfuric acid 
 
 contained in a lead bottle which, when 
 required, is turned over by a crank, - 
 spilling the acid into the soda solution. 
 The carbonic acid gas generated creates 
 a pressure sufficient to force the water 
 through the nozzle. About 5 parts of 
 acid to 6 parts of soda, by weight, are 
 considered the proper proportions. Other 
 combinations are used such as ammon- 
 ium carbonate, potash, etc. 
 
 FIREPROOFING FABRICS, WOOD, 
 PAPER, ETC. 
 
 While fireproofing materials are used 
 and formulas are here given, it should 
 not be understood that the articles "fire- 
 proofed" really cannot burn ; the prep- 
 eration will simply hinder the rapid 
 progress of the fire so as to permit of 
 easy and rapid extinction. 
 
 Among the substances used for fire- 
 proofing are the following : Solution of 
 sodium silicate, sodium tungstate, so- 
 dium hyposulfite, boric acid, zinc chlor- 
 id, calcium acetate, iron sulfate, copper 
 sulfate, and common salt, but ammon- 
 ium phosphate, or compounds contain- 
 ing it, are said to be the best of all, 
 and sodium tungstate ranks next in 
 efficiency. 
 
 I. Several years ago the Commis- 
 sioner of Buildings of Chicago recom- 
 mended or approved the following fire- 
 proofing preparation as an application 
 to wood, fabrics, etc., in theaters and 
 other places : 
 
 Dissolve in a suitable vessel one and 
 one-half pounds of acid ammonium 
 phosphate (diammonium phosphate) in 
 a gallon of hot water. In another ves- 
 sel mix three ounces of starch with 
 30 grains salicylic acid. Then add to 
 this powder mixture enough hot water 
 to make a thick paste, stirring the mass. 
 Then add the ammonium phosphate solu- 
 tion, gradually, to the starch paste, so 
 as to obtain a homogeneous liquid. Of 
 this solution not less, or not much less, 
 is to be applied than the material (cloth 
 or wood) is capable of absorbing.

 FLASH-LIGHT POWDERS. 
 
 These powders are employed by pho- 
 tographers for taking negatives in im- 
 perfectly lighted places, or in the absence 
 of good daylight. When blown into an 
 alcohol flame these powders flare up 
 suddenly, producing an intense actinic 
 light. Finely pulverized magnesium 
 (metal) alone may be used for this pur- 
 pose; some claiming for this the best 
 results, but it is also combined with 
 gun cotton in the proportion of 2 parts 
 to 1 of the latter. Other combinations 
 of magnesium are also used. Of late, 
 aluminum metal is displacing magne- 
 sium, it being more economical and 
 comparatively smokeless, while magne- 
 sium produces a dense and persistent 
 smoke. 
 
 It must be remembered that these 
 powders are very explosive and must- 
 be prepared only in small quantities, as 
 wanted. They should be mixed, not by 
 trituration, but on a sheet of pap 
 
 means of a horn or wooden spatula or 
 a card. 
 
 If desired, these powders may be dis- 
 pensed in small capsules or envelopes of 
 paper saturated with sodium or potas- 
 sium nitrate. In this case it is only 
 necessary to apply a match to the en- 
 velope to set off the charge of powder.

 FLEA EXTERMINATORS. 
 
 There are two kinds of fleas, the hu- 
 man flea and the dog and cat flea and 
 either one may infest a house. Practic- 
 ally all cats and dogs are inhabited by 
 fleas and thus easilv become a source 
 of infestation. The eggs of the dog and 
 cat flea are deposited among the hairs 
 of the animals but inasmuch as they 
 are not attached to the hairs, numbers 
 of them drop off whenever the animal 
 moves and wherever he lies down. A 
 rug or piece of carpet should there- 
 fore be provided for the animal to lie 
 upon and this should be shaken out 
 frequently and the dust and dirt thus 
 obtained should be gathered up and 
 burned; or the rug may be treated with 
 hot water which will effectually destroy 
 all eggs.

 expel them it has been recommended 
 to throw or spray benzine or gasoline 
 in the corners and all the crevices. A 
 safer method is to sprinkle the floor 
 thickly with quicklime, or better yet use 
 good insect powder freely. Cleaner 
 methods are to lay sprigs of. pennyroyal 
 herb around the rooms, also to sprinkle 
 or spray with an atomizer the follow- 
 ing combination:

 To Remove from Animals. 
 
 The U. S. Department of Agriculture 
 recommends the free application of 
 good insect powder, then wrapping the 
 dog or cat in a towel for about half 
 an hour, when the- fleas will be found 
 dead in great numbers. 
 
 IV. The New Hampshire Experi- 
 ment Station has found creolin to be 
 the most satisfactory remedy for the 
 pest. For dogs a 3%. solution is recom- 
 mended, and for cats a 2% solution. 
 The animal should be thoroughly wash- 
 ed, and the application will destroy 
 the adult fleas as well as the larvae. The 
 application should be made as soon as 
 any infestation of dogs and cats is ob- 
 served. It may be applied to dogs and 
 cats by washing with the hand or brush 
 or by submerging animals in the pre- 
 pared solution. 
 FLOOR OILS. 
 
 So-called "floor oils" are various oily 
 mixtures, such as the following: 
 
 I. Neatsfoot, cottonseed and yellow 
 paraffin oils, each equal parts. 
 
 II. Paraffin oil, 8 parts, kerosene and 
 lime water, each equal parts. 
 
 III. Fish oil, 8 parts, paraffin oil and 
 lime water, each 1 part. 
 
 These are to be brushed on the floor 
 or they may be applied occasionally by 
 means of a mop. They are supposed to 
 prevent the -dust from rising. 
 
 While these mixtures when applied to 
 floors naturally prevent, to an extent, 
 dust from rising, they have some ob- 
 jectionable qualities. Nos. II and III 
 for example have the odor of kerosene 
 and fish oil. The greasiness or non- 
 drying property is also objectionable as 
 this may do damage to rugs, carpets, 
 clothing, etc. The customary way of 
 oiling floors is apply boiled linseed, pref- 
 erably mixed with some of the turpen- 
 tine or japan dryer. This dries to a 
 tough, resinous coating without any 
 greasiness. Another method of oiling 
 floors is with a solution of wax in oil 
 of turpentine. 
 
 FLOOR WAX in Powder. (Ballroom 
 or Dance-Hall Powder.) 
 
 Floor waxes may be in both liquid 
 and powder forms. The latter are 
 coarse, such as will pass through a No. 
 10 or 20 sieve, and are used by sprink- 
 ling on the floor. The ingredients of 
 these waxes are various waxy matters, 
 sometimes in combination with talcum 
 or boric acid.

 FLOOR WAX OR POLISH, Liquid. 
 
 Instead of sprinkling floor wax in the 
 powder form on dancing floors, which 
 is a crude but simple way of treating 
 floors prior to dancing, floor wax or pol- 
 ish in liquid form should be preferred 
 as this makes a more satisfactory re- 
 sult. The base of these polishes is usu- 
 ally beeswax which is either emulsion- 
 ized with an alkaline solution or is dis- 
 solved in oil of turpentine. 
 
 The floor to be treated should be 
 thoroughly cleaned and thoroughly dry. 
 If not perfectly smooth, it should be 
 made so by sandpapering or scraping 
 followed by sandpapering. If there is 
 any old paint, varnish or polish on the 
 floor it should be removed with lye, 
 then thoroughly washing and drying the 
 floor. 
 
 In using the polish it should be ap- 
 plied in a thin coat, allowed to dry thor- 
 oughly, then rubbed hard with brushes 
 or cloths until a suitable gloss is ob- 
 tained. 
 
 The following preparations have been 
 highly recommended as floor polishes : 
 
 I. Dieterich's formula : 
 
 Yellow wax av.oz. 8 
 
 Potassium carbonate av.oz. 1 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 1 
 
 Water fl.oz. 32 
 
 Heat the wax and water to boiling ; 
 add the potassium carbonate; boil an- 
 other minute or until the wax is emul- 
 sified; remove the vessel from the fire; 
 add the oil, and stir until cold. 
 
 If the floor is well preserved, 16 fluid- 
 ounces more of water may be added. 
 A brown color may be produced by add- 
 ing sienna or umber, and a very dark 
 brown, by the further addition of lamp- 
 black. 
 
 II. Hager's formula : 
 
 Yellow wax av.oz. 8 
 
 Potassium carbonate av.oz. 4 
 
 Water fl.oz. 52 
 
 Heat the wax in an iron vessel with 
 
 40 fluidounces of water until the wax 
 is melted, then add the ootassium car- 
 bonate dissolved in the remainder of the 
 water and boil together until solution 
 is effected. 
 
 If it be desired to color the polish, 
 add ^2 to 1 av. ounce of annatto pre- 
 viously dissolved in a little alcohol. 
 
 III. Hager's formula:

 Benzin fl.oz. 7 
 
 Melt together by a gentle heat (waxes 
 and acid), add a sufficient quantity of 
 burnt sienna thoroughly triturated with 
 linseed oil varnish. Then add with a 
 constant stirring (remote from fire), the 
 oil and benzin. 
 
 IV. 
 
 Yellow wax av.oz. 5 
 
 Soap av.oz. 1

 First dissolve the soap in 10 fluid- 
 ounces of water, heating gently, then 
 add the wax, and boil. When the wax 
 begins to come to the surface, add the 
 potassium carbonate dissolved in 10 
 fluidounces of water; heat for 20 min- 
 utes more, and then add the remainder 
 of the water.

 heat, add the sienna previously tritur- 
 ated to a smooth paste with a small 
 amount of boiled linseed oil, mix well, 
 allow to cool somewhat and then in- 
 corporate the oil of turpentine or as 
 much of it as is required to make a 
 mass of the consistence of an ointment.

 The burnt sienna may be used in 
 larger or smaller quantity, according 
 to the tint desired, or it may be re- 
 placed by raw sienna, etc. 
 
 VI. A simpler preparation than any 
 of the preceding is a solution of i part 
 of yellow wax in 2 parts of oil of 
 turpentine, prepared by melting the wax 
 on a water bath and then incorporating 
 the oil. 
 
 This polish will be as satisfactory as 
 others if applied in a thin coat and 
 the floor be rubbed thoroughly hard, 
 when dry, until a good polish is ob- 
 tained.

 FLY EXTERMINATORS. 
 
 There are several species of flies, the 
 most common being the ordinary house 
 fly. There is also a large blue Bottle 
 fly and a small fly, also a horse or 
 stable fly which latter is the only kind 
 that bites. The U. S. Department of 
 Agriculture determined, by means of a 
 series of experiments that flies are prop- 
 agated in horse manure and that the 
 fly pest might be overcome by treating 
 the manure with chlorid of lime or 
 kerosene or by keeping it in closed 
 screened boxes. 
 
 Fly exterminators are of different 
 kinds, such as papers, powders, pastilles, 
 etc. The papers which are now so large- 
 ly employed are of several varieties, 
 viz. : sticky, poisonous or arsenical, and 
 non-poisonous. Full directions are given 
 below for making these preparations. 
 
 Fly Lime. 
 What is known as "fly lime," which 
 is sold largely in Europe, consists of 
 the mixtures used in the formulas for 
 sticky fly paper. These mixtures are 
 spread upon plates or saucers, which are 
 then set about the room, or are painted 
 upon sticks, which are then hung around 
 in convenient places.

 Dissolve and saturate heavy unsized 
 paper in the solution; afterward hang 
 it- up to dry on strings. The paper 
 should be stamped or printed as pois- 
 onous previous to immersion in the 
 liquid. Potassium arsenate should be 
 employed, or this prepared from arsen- 
 ic acid, instead of the arsenite — the 
 form official in Fowler's Solution. 
 While arsenic acid is more readily par- 
 taken of by flies, it has the further ad- 
 vantage of being non-poisonous to the 
 hands. — D.

 ously been "sized," by applying a coat- 
 ing of a thin solution of white glue by 
 means of a sponge, and hung uo to dry. 
 The sticky compound is put on whilst 
 warm by means of a brush, and the 
 paper is then folded together. The pro- 
 portion of resin must be varied to suit 
 the changes in the temperature. 
 
 IX. A good composition is a mix- 
 ture of 2 parts of rosin to 1 of castor 
 oil, melted together, and applied hot 
 with a flat brush to suitable paper. The 
 proportions may be varied according 
 to the nature of the oil or rosin or the 
 time of the year.

 FREEZING MIXTURES. 
 
 The lowering of temperature pro- 
 duced by the solution of salts has its 
 commonest illustration in the use of 
 a mixture of salt and ice in the freez- 
 ing of ice cream. A temperature of 
 zero is readily obtained. 
 
 In using freezing mixtures, various 
 salts are used which should be in very 
 fine powder and should be perfectly 
 dry. The vessel should previously be 
 cooled, and cool water should be em- 
 ployed. If the mixture be produced 
 from one salt and water, the former 
 may be recovered by evaporation, and 
 after thorough drying and powdering, 
 it may be used over again. A mix- 
 ture of salts may be recovered in the 
 same manner and used over again. 
 
 Lowering of temperature by solution 
 of a salt is promoted in many cases 
 to a considerable degree by the pres- 
 ence of a diluted acid. The freezing 
 mixture should be made in a vessel of 
 low conductivity, such as earthenware, 
 while the container of the mixture to 
 be chilled should be as good a con- 
 ductor of heat as possible.

 FROSTING WINDOWS. 
 
 This is a method used by painters : 
 Put a piece of fresh or soft putty in 
 muslin, twist the fabric tight and tie 
 it in the shape of a pad; clean the glass 
 thoroughly at first, then pat it over with 
 the pad. The putty will exude suffi- 
 ciently through the muslin to. render 
 the stain opaque. Let this stain dry 
 hard and then varnish the glass. If a 
 pattern is required, cut it out in paper 
 as a stencil; place it so as not to slip 
 and proceed as above, removing the 
 stencil when finished. If there should 
 be objection to the clear spaces, they 
 may be covered with slightly opaque 
 varnish. Instead of using a pad, some 
 attach the putty to the tips of their 
 fingers.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Finer effects are obtained by the use 
 of matt varnishes, hut some skill in 
 their application is required when the 
 glass panes are in position. The prop- 
 er way to employ is to float the varnish 
 over the surface of the leveled pane 
 and then decant off one corner, exactly 
 as photographic plates are handled. In 
 order to obtain a fine grain without 
 streaks, the operation must be done 
 quickly. Here is a formula for matt 
 varnish :

 FUNGICIDES FOR PLANTS. 
 
 The term fungicide signifies an agent 
 to destroy fungi or certain lower forms 
 of parasites. The particular parasites 
 referred to in this connection are such 
 as attack plants, especially fruit trees, 
 for example, blights, rots, smuts, mil- 
 dew, etc. Some of the preparations 
 mentioned under the heading Insecticides 
 for Plants, may also be used as fungi- 
 cides. 
 
 The formulas and information herein 
 contained are taken from the pamphlet 
 issued by the Department of Agriculture 
 and from other sources of information 
 which may be considered entirely trust- 
 worthy. 
 
 These fungicides are mostly liouid 
 preparations which are sprayed on the 
 plants. They usually have either cop- 
 per salts or sulfur as a basis. 
 
 Bordeaux Mixture. 
 This is considered the most valuable 
 fungicide for combating plant diseases. 
 It consists of a mixture of copper sul- 
 fate and lime with water. The formula 
 varies somewhat according to the use 
 which is to be made of the spray. What 
 
 is called the standard or 6-4-50 formula 
 is as follows : 
 
 Copper sulfate av.lb. 6 
 
 Fresh lime av.lb. & 
 
 Water, to make gall. 50 
 
 Dissolve the copper sulfate in a wood- 
 en or earthen vessel, using 4 or 5 gal- 
 lons of water, which, if hot, will act 
 quicker. In a separate vessel slake 
 the lime and rub until all lumps are 
 broken. Then strain and stir slowly into 
 the copper solution. This is to be dilut- 
 ed and used as soon as possible. The 
 mixture should not stand over 24 hours, 
 as it tends to spoil. Where a good qual- 
 ity of lime is used, 4 pounds will satisfy 
 6 pounds of copper sulfate. 
 
 Four ounces of Paris green may be 
 added to each 50 gallons of this liquid 
 for all except peach and other stone 
 fruits, when a combined insecticide and 
 fungicide for general use is wanted. 
 Its chief disadvantage is its spotting 
 the fruit and its liability to be washed 
 off the foliage by rains. For peach and 
 other stone fruits, use only 2 ounces of 
 Paris green. London purple, arsenate 
 of lead, and other arsenicals may be 
 added in the same manner. 
 
 The above standard Bordeau mixture 
 is frequently slightly modified, a very 
 common modification being this so- 
 called 5-5-50 mixture: 
 
 Copper sulfate av.lb. 5 
 
 Lime av.lb 5 
 
 Water, to make gall. 50 
 
 This formula is used where it is spe- 
 cially required that there be no excess 
 of the copper salt which will scald the 
 foliage and fruit. For this reason, the 
 5-5-50 formula is now used for orchard 
 spraying. It has almost replaced stand- 
 ard Bordeaux mixture in spraying for 
 the apple scab, bitter-rot, pear, and 
 cherry leaf blight, and similar diseases. 
 The form of Bordeaux mixture most 
 harmless to foliage is the 3-9-50, which 
 has a considerable excess of lime. This 
 is also called "peach Bordeaux mix- 
 ture." 
 
 Xo matter what quantity of Bordeaux 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1091 
 
 mixture is made, it will require strain- 
 ing, which is best accomplished by 
 means of a wire strainer. If the milk 
 of lime is strained before mixing with 
 the copper solution, subsequent straining 
 will not be necessary. 
 
 Various other modifications of the 
 original Bordeaux mixture have been 
 suggested and tried. The principal ones 
 are the "soda Bordeaux mixture" and 
 "potash Bordeaux mixture." The for- 
 mer consists of 6 parts of copper sul- 
 fate, 2 pounds of caustic soda, and 50 
 gallons of water. The latter has the 
 same amount of caustic potash instead 
 of soda. These alkalies take the place 
 of lime to decompose the copper sul- 
 fate. 
 
 Other substances have been added to 
 Bordeaux mixture to increase its spread- 
 ing power, especially when the smooth, 
 glossy surface of the fruit and foliage 
 causes the mixture either to collect in 
 drops or run off entirely. Success has 
 been obtained by the use of ordinary 
 hard soap dissolved in hot water and 
 added at the rate of 4 pounds to the 
 barrel of mixture. This is then known 
 as "soap Bordeaux mixture." 
 
 Instead of hard soap, a saponaceous 
 mixture prepared as follows is also 
 recommended : 
 
 Rosin av.lb. 5 
 
 Potash lye av.lb. 1 
 
 Fish oil fl.oz. 16 
 
 Water gall. 5 
 
 The potash lye is the kind which is 
 ordinarily sold for washing purposes. 
 Dissolve the rosin with the oil in a 
 large iron kettle. Let this cool some- 
 what and then add the potash, slowly 
 stirring the mixture at the same time 
 and watching it carefully to avoid boil- 
 ing over. Then add a portion of the 
 5 gallons of water and continue boil- 
 ing until the mixture will dissolve in 
 cold water. This will require about an 
 hour, when the remainder of the water 
 should be added slowly and the whole 
 thoroughly stirred. 
 
 Two gallons of this soap mixture 
 should be added to each 50 gallons of 
 Bordeaux mixture and the whole then 
 strained through a brass wire-cloth 
 strainer. Instead of soap, molasses has 
 been recommended to make the mixture 
 more adherent to fruit and foliage in 
 the following: 
 
 Copper sulfate av.oz. 6 
 
 Fresh lime (or sodium 
 
 carbonate) av.lb. 4'^ 
 
 Molasses fl.oz. 32 
 
 Water gall. 50 
 
 Dissolve the copper sulfate in suf- 
 ficient water, using a non-metallic ves- 
 sel. Slake the lime or dissolve the 
 soda in 2 gallons of water in a separate 
 vessel. Dilute the molasses with a gal- 
 lon of water, and stir it into the lime 
 wash or soda solution. After these have 
 been thoroughly mixed add the whole, 
 with vigorous stirring, to the copper 
 solution. The mixture thus produced 
 should be diluted to 50 gallons and used 
 soon as it deteriorates on standing. It 
 is very adhesive to the foliage, and 
 fewer treatments will be required than 
 when the plain Bordeaux mixture is 
 used. 
 
 Eau Celeste. 
 
 Copper sulfate av.lb. 11 
 
 Ammonia water pints 11 
 
 Water pints 38 
 
 Dissolve the copper salt in the water 
 and add the ammonia water. 
 
 This is however, generally used in a 
 modified form as follows : 
 
 Copper sulfate av.lb. 4 
 
 Sodium carbonate av.lb. 5 
 
 Ammonia water pints 3 
 
 Water gall. 45 
 
 Dissolve the copper sulfate in suffi- 
 cient water, using a non-metallic ves- 
 sel. Dissolve the soda in sufficient water 
 in a separate vessel. Mix these two 
 and then add the ammonia and dilute 
 to 45 gallons. This preparation docs 
 not keep very well. 
 
 This is a very acrid mixture, and in 
 the hands of careless persons may do 
 much damage to the foliage. It should 
 
1092 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 never be used upon the peach, plum or 
 cherry. It gives best results upon the 
 apple. It does not stain the fruit. Ar- 
 senates cannot be safely added to this 
 mixture. 
 
 Other Copper Solutions. 
 
 Copper sulfate. — 
 
 Copper sulfate av.lb. 3 
 
 Water gall 50 
 
 Dissolve the sulfate in the water. 
 This solution should never be applied 
 to green foliage. Its proper use is as 
 an early spring wash for the trunk 
 and branches of trees and vines to re- 
 move lichens and kill disease spores. 
 4 or 6 ounces of Paris green may be 
 added to each 50 gallons of the above 
 solution. For stone fruits use only 2 
 or 3 ounces of Paris green. 
 Copper acetate. — 
 Dibasic acetate of copper, .av.oz. 6 
 
 Water gall. 50 
 
 Mix and dissolve. 
 
 This is recommended as an applica- 
 tion to ripening fruit when it is desired 
 to avoid the staining effect of Bordeaux 
 mixture, though it is inferior to the lat- 
 ter as a fungicide. The injurious ef- 
 fect of this solution is much greater 
 than that of Bordeaux mixture and to 
 such susceptible foliage as that of the 
 peach it should be applied sparingly 
 if at all. 
 
 Ammoniacal copper carbonate. — 
 
 Copper carbonate av.oz. 5 
 
 Ammonia water, con- 
 centrated pints 2 to 3 
 
 Water gall. 50 
 
 Dilute the ammonia water with about 
 2 gallons of water. Add water to the 
 carbonate to make a thin paste, pour 
 on about half the diluted ammonia and 
 stir vigorously for several minutes, al- 
 low the mixture to settle and pour off 
 the clear solution, leaving the undis- 
 solved portion of the salt behind. Re- 
 peat this operation, using small portions 
 of the remaining diluted ammonia un- 
 til all the carbonate is dissolved, being 
 careful to use no more ammonia than is 
 necessary to complete solution. Then 
 add the remainder of the water. If 
 
 kept well corked, this solution will keep 
 a long time. 
 
 This forms a clear, light-blue solution 
 which, upon drying, leaves little or no 
 stain. As a fungicide it is inferior to 
 Bordeaux mixture and should be used 
 only as a substitute for the latter when 
 the stain of Bordeaux mixture upon 
 ornamental and maturing plants is ob- 
 jectionable. 
 
 Plants likely to be injured by Bor- 
 deaux mixture will be injured still more 
 by this solution. Examples are the 
 peach, plum and cherry. Arsenites should 
 not be added to this solution. 
 
 Sometimes 2 pounds ammonium car- 
 bonate dissolved in Y* gallon of water 
 is used in place of the diluted ammonia 
 water in the above. 
 
 A preparation like this is called 
 "cupram" by the New Jersey Agricul- 
 tural College Experiment Station. 
 
 As copper carbonate when purchased 
 in the market is quite costly it will be 
 more economical to manufacture it 
 from the cheaper sulfate in the follow- 
 ing manner. 
 
 Copper sulfate av.oz. 16 
 
 Sodium carbonate av.oz. 20 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Dissolve each of the salts separately 
 in a gallon of water, pour the two solu- 
 tions together, and stir thoroughly. The 
 precipitate may be collected and then 
 dried or it may be used in the moist 
 condition by being dissolved at once in 
 the ammonia water. The above quanti- 
 ties of salts will make about 8 av. 
 ounces of dried copper carbonate. 
 Corrosive Sublimate Fungicide. 
 
 For the treatment of the potato scab 
 a solution of corrosive sublimate has 
 given the best results. This is to be 
 prepared by dissolving 1Y2 av. ounces 
 of corrosive sublimate in about \Yz gal- 
 lons of hot water and afterwards add- 
 ing enough water to make 10 gallons.

 FURNITURE POLISHES. 
 
 These occur in three forms, liquids, 
 cream and paste, which contain some 
 similar constituents, varying mostly in 
 consistency. They act by removing dust 
 and dissolving the exterior oxidized 
 coating of varnish, while the friction 
 renews or restores the polish. It fol- 
 lows therefore that the longer and 
 harder the woodwork is rubbed, the 
 better gloss will be obtained.

 Any of the preparations mentioned 
 under Glues, Liquid, may also be used. 
 
 GLUE, LIQUID. (Prepared Glue— 
 Syndetikon.) 
 
 The making of so-called 'liquid glue" 
 depends on the fact that when gelatin 
 or glue is mixed with certain substances 
 in the presence of water, the mixture 
 remains permanently semi-liquid. The 
 most common agents used in this lique- 
 fying process are acetic and nitric acids, 
 lime, chloral hydrate, alkalies, and other 
 substances also being used. 
 
 The cheaper kinds are made from 
 glue, the handsomer looking prepara- 
 tions from gelatin, but the former prob- 
 ably possess the greater adhesiveness. 
 These preparations are best dispensed 
 in wide-mou^h bottles which are to be 
 kept well-closed when not in use as 
 they will become dry and hard on ex- 
 posure. 
 I. 
 
 Glue, brown av.oz. 16 
 
 Sodium carbonate av.oz. 5^ 
 
 Water fl.oz. 28 
 
 Oil of clove m. 80 I 
 
 Dissolve the sodium carbonate in the 
 water and add the glue to this solu- 
 tion, allow to stand over night or until 
 the glue has ,become thoroughly soaked 
 and 'swollen, then heat carefully on a 
 water-bath, stirring frequently, until 
 the glue is entirely liquefied, and finally 
 add the oil of clove. 
 
 The sodium carbonate may be the 
 commercial variety ; the solution in 
 water should then be strained to remove 
 mechanical impurities. 
 
 White glue may be used instead of the 
 brown but the latter makes the more 
 adhesive glue. 
 
 The objection to this formula is that 
 in the course of time the alkali will 
 destroy the adhesiveness of the glue.

 HECTOGRAPH MASSES OR PADS. 
 
 Hectographs, also known as copying 
 pads, copygrams, copygraphs, chromo- 
 graphs, collographs, etc., are employed 
 for the purpose of duplicating writing 
 by taking an impression of writing made 
 with a suitable aniline ink on a receiving 
 pad made essentially from gelatin or 
 glue and glycerin and then obtaining 
 copies by laying fresh sheets of paper 
 upon the pad. 
 
 The following formula will make a 
 srood pad. The directions with regard 
 to air bubbles, pouring of the mass, etc., 
 must be followed strictly in the succeed- 
 ing formulas: 
 
 Take a pound, or any convenient 
 quantity of pure white glue, free from 
 whiting or other insoluble matter, and 
 macerate in water, until it becomes soft 
 and pliable. With a little manipulation 
 and turning, this may be accomplished 
 by using a pint of water for each pound 
 of glue. Drain off the excess of water, 
 if there be any, and add glycerin in the 
 quantity of from two to three pints for 
 each pound of glue used. The lesser 
 amount is for summer, and the larger 
 amount for winter use. Heat the mix- 
 ture gently until the glue is dissolved, 
 and the water absorbed by the glue has 
 evaporated. The easiest way of ascer- 
 taining when this is accomplished is to 
 take the weight of the evaporating dish 
 out before commencing; then when the 
 weight of the dish and its contents is 
 
 equal to its tare and the amounts of 
 glue and glycerin used, the operation 
 may be considered completed. If the 
 water is not driven off, the pad is likely 
 to crack in a dry atmosphere by its 
 spontaneous evaporation. 
 
 It will be found somewhat trouble- 
 some to avoid air bubbles in the mass. 
 They may be avoided to an extent by 
 the use of only moderate heat in dis- 
 solving the glue. When bubbles have 
 formed, they may be skimmed off, but it 
 is easier to destroy them by the use of 
 alcohol. The mass when finished is 
 strained into a wide mouthed bottle and 
 allowed to stand in a warm place, or in 
 warm water for an hour or two, when 
 most of the bubbles will have arisen to 
 the top and formed a scum on the sur- 
 face. A small quantity of alcohol is 
 now poured carefully down the side of 
 the bottle, which instantly destroys them 
 all. The gelatin, which is precipitated 
 by the alcohol on the surface, redis- 
 solves as the alcohol evaporates. When 
 this has occurred, the mass may be 
 poured into a suitable shallow tray, 
 holding the mouth of the bottle as near 
 the tray as possible, to avoid the forma- 
 tion of fresh bubbles. The tray may 
 be made by any tinner and should be as 
 large as the largest paper on which 
 copies are to be taken. It should be 
 about V2 inch deep. To secure firmness, 
 it should be fastened to a board. The 
 melted mass may now be poured, as de- 
 scribed, to nearly fill the tray; any air 
 bubble which forms must be removed 
 with a hot wire or other suitable means, 
 and when cold the pad or hectograph is 
 ready for use. 
 
 It is difficult to obtain a pad absolute- 
 ly free from bubbles and one which is 
 not sticky. To avoid the latter, various 
 insoluble powders, sometimes soluble 
 salts, are added to the hectograph mass. 
 The former include clay, chalk, sulfur, 
 barium sulfate, etc. ; the latter potassium 
 and other chromates. The former must 
 be rubbed to a smooth paste with a por- 
 
1100 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 tion of the melted mass before adding 
 to the remainder of the mass ; the lat- 
 ter must be dissolved in the smallest 
 amount of water before adding to the 
 remainder of the mixture. 
 
 The modus operandi of taking copies 
 is as follows : 
 
 Write upon well-glazed paper with a 
 suitable ink, using a new, broad-pointed 
 pen, allow it to remain for a minute or 
 so to dry partially, then invert carefully 
 upon the pad and press evenly and uni- 
 formly. In a minute or two sufficient 
 ink will have been absorbed by the pad 
 from the paper so that new sheets of 
 paper (not so well glazed), pressed 
 upon the pad, will receive duplicates of 
 the original writing. The number of 
 copies that may be taken in this way, as 
 well as their distinctness, varies accord- 
 ing to the pad and the ink. The original 
 writing, if laid upon a fresh pad or a 
 fresh portion of the same pad after tak- 
 ing the first imprint, will furnish still 
 other copies. After all the copies are 
 taken, the pad should be cleansed with 
 a moist sponge, after which it should be 
 dried. A trifling amount of ink will re- 
 main in the* pad, but this will not inter- 
 fere with subsequent operations. The 
 copies are sometimes improved by moist- 
 ening the copying paper with water or 
 strong alcohol, and then absorbing the 
 excess of liquid between folds of bibu- 
 lous paper. 
 
 Hectograph inks are mentioned under 
 heading Inks. 
 
 The hectograph mass, instead of being 
 poured into a tray, may be formed into 
 a roller by casting in a mold. Copies 
 may be taken by passing the roller over 
 the writing and then over the paper to 
 receive the copies. 
 
 The following mixtures may be form- 
 ed into hectograph pads, as described 
 above :

 Glue av.oz. 4 
 
 Glycerin av.oz. 20 
 
 Water fl.oz. 15 
 
 Kaolin or barium sulfate, in 
 
 fine powder av.oz. 1 
 
 Soak the glue in the water until it 
 takes up as much moisture as it will 
 absorb. Drain and press out the sur- 
 plus and place the container with the 
 glue in a water bath. Heat until solu- 
 tion takes place. In the meantime mix 
 the barium sulfate or kaolin with the 
 glycerin and add to the hot solution of 
 glue. Maintain the heat for a few 
 hours, in order to drive off the excess 
 of water, and pour the mixture into a 
 shallow tin or zinc tray. 
 HECTOGRAPH SHEETS. 
 
 A variation of the hectograph pads 
 are the sheets prepared as follows : 
 Macerate 4 parts of good white glue in 
 a mixture of 5 parts of water and 3 
 parts of ammonia water until the glue 
 is soft. Warm the mixture untii the 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1101 
 
 glue is dissolved, add 3 parts of granu- 
 lated sugar and 8 of glycerin, stir well, 
 and let the mixture come to a boil. 
 While hot, paint the liquid upon white 
 blotting paper with a broad brush until 
 the paper is thoroughly soaked and a 
 thin coating remains upon the surface. 
 Allow it to dry for 2 or 3 days, and it 
 is then ready for use. Use the regular 
 hectograph ink for writing and before 
 transferring the latter to the blotting 
 paper, wet the latter with a dampened 
 sponge and wait a minute or two before 
 using. Then proceed to make copies in 
 the ordinary way. If the sheets are laid 
 aside for 2 or 3 days, the writing sinks 
 in and does not require to be washed 
 -off. 
 
 HORN AND IVORY, To Color Black. 
 
 First place the horn in an aqueous 
 solution of a lead salt, with a slight ex- 
 cess of sodium hydrate. The duration 
 of this treatment depends on the char- 
 acter of the horn and the strength of 
 the solution — generally half an hour is 
 sufficient. Then wash well and intro- 
 duce the horn into a solution of 350 
 grains of wool black and 18 grains of 
 naphthol yellow S in 1 pint of water at 
 40 C. A longer subjection to this lat- 
 ter treatment appears to be necessary. 
 
 For bone and ivory, water-soluble 
 nigrosin will answer. It is only neces- 
 sary to lay the pieces, oreviously de- 
 prived of fat and mordanted, in a hot 
 aqueous solution of nigrosin until the 
 desired tone is obtained. On account of 
 its cartilaginous components, ivory can- 
 not be boiled in the nigrosin solution, 
 but the same result can be obtained by 
 allowing it to stand for some hours in 
 a concentrated solution at a temperature 
 of about 30 C. 
 
 To deprive the bones of fat before 
 treatment with aniline colors it is suffi- 
 cient to boil them with frequent changes 
 of water, subsequent treatment with 
 ether being unnecessary. 
 
 Kellermann's method of mordanting 
 is especially recommended. This con- 
 
 sists of placing the defatted bones for 
 15 minutes in the following: 
 
 Nitric acid fl.oz. 1 
 
 Water fl.oz. 21 
 
 Tartaric acid dr. 2 
 
 They are then washed and placed in a 
 solution of 7 grains of zinc chlorid in 1 
 pint of water with a few drops of hy- 
 drochloric acid. 
 
 With ivory it is sufficient to mordant 
 for 15 minutes in 1% hydrochloric acid. 
 
 HYDROGRAPHIC PAPER. 
 
 I. Black: 
 
 Nutgall, very fine powder dr. 4 
 
 Ferrous sulfate, dried, very

 Rub this mixture over the surface of 
 paper with pressure, brushing off the 
 loose portions. 
 
 This writes black with a pen dipped in 
 water. •

 III. Blue (No. 2) : 
 
 Wet paper with a weak (colorless) 
 solution of potassium ferrocyanide and 
 dry. Write upon it with a colorless so- 
 lution of Monsel's salt or a very dilute 
 solution of iron subsulfate. It writes 
 blue. 
 
 IV. Reddish brown: 
 Copper sulfate, very fine 
 
 powder dr. 1

 HYPODERMIC SYRINGES, To 
 Clean. 
 
 The following is from a medical au- 
 thority: If the wire cannot be passed 
 through the canal, hold the needle for a 
 moment over a flame, the foreign sub- 
 stances being rapidly destroyed and 
 driven off, then pass the wire through. 
 If a wire has been rusted into the 
 needle, the latter should be dipped in oil 
 before holding over the flame. To re-

 INKS, Manufacture of. 
 
 The characteristics of a good writing 
 
 ink are as follows : 
 
 1. It must flow easily from the pen, 
 but not drop from it nor spread on the 
 paper. 
 
 2. It should not contain finely sus- 
 pended matter which will subside in the 
 course of time, but should be perfect so- 
 lution. 
 
 3. The color should be dark, and 
 therefore practically saturated, and writ- 
 ing made with it should not fade. 
 
 4. It should not mold, nor be liable to 
 other decomposition. 
 
 5. It should copy or it should not, as 
 may be desired, and, 
 
 6. It should not appreciably attack or 
 corrode steel pens. 
 
 Black writing inks are frequently 
 classed according to their use, as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 1. Office or document inks, which 
 must be prepared from nutgall or tan- 
 nin, should be permanent, and are in- 
 tended for documents which are to be 
 preserved. 
 
 2. Copying inks, which are prepared 
 from nutgall, tannin, logwood, or even 
 coal tar dyes, and which must furnish 
 good copies, and 
 
 3- Ordinary writing inks, such as are 
 employed as house and school inks, and 
 which should be cheap and from which 
 no special permanence is expected. 
 
 According to composition, inks may 
 be classified into 
 
 1. Aniline inks. 
 
 2. Logwood inks. 
 
 3. Xutgall inks. 
 
 4. Tannin inks, and 
 
 5. Miscellaneous inks. 
 
 The first class yields copying and 
 writing inks, as well as the various col- 
 ored inks which are in use for various 
 purposes. The second class yields copy- 
 ing and writing inks, and the third and 
 fourth classes yield document and copy- 
 ing inks. The fifth class embraces hec- 
 tograph inks, indelible inks, sympathetic 
 inks, etc. 
 
 Formerly it was customary to aad 
 acetic acid and acetates, oxalic acid and 
 oxalates, nitric acid and nitrates, tar- 
 trates, sodium chlorid, ammonium chlor- 
 id, potassium chlorate, copper sulfate or 
 acetate, alum, or even logwood to nut- 
 gall inks, but these not only serve no 
 good purpose but are even harmful. 
 
 In order that a good ink may retain 
 its excellent qualities, certain cautions 
 should be observed in its use : Before 
 putting a new ink in an ink-well, the old 
 ink should be entirely removed and the 
 ink-well washed. Also no ink container 
 should be used which cannot be closed, 
 and such ink vessel should always be 
 closed when not in use. If an ink is 
 liable to thickening or other change, the 
 ink-well should be cleansed before re- 
 filling, even if with the same ink. 
 
 Several preparations, which are used 
 in the manufacture of many of the inks 
 which follow, are mentioned here. 
 Xutgall infusion: 
 
 Chinese nutgall av.oz. 6^2 
 
 Talcum, purified av.oz. Y\ 
 
 Water, distilled sufficient 
 
 Reduce the nutgall to coarse powder, 
 moisten (not wet) the powder, and set 
 the latter aside at a temperature of 20 
 to 25 C. until it is thickly covered with 
 mold. In order to hasten this molding, 
 the drug should be moistened daily with 
 water, so that it will always have about 
 the same proportion of moisture. At 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1103 
 
 the end of from 8 to 10 days, fermenta- 
 tion will have advanced sufficiently to 
 admit of extraction of the drug. To the 
 latter should be added 13 fluidounces of 
 water, and the mixture heated for an 
 hour on the water-bath. Then express, 
 treat the residue in the same manner 
 with the same amount of water, and 
 then again with 7 fluidounces of water. 
 Mix the three liquids obtained, add the 
 talcum, shake well, set aside for 24 
 hours, filter, and add enough water, if 
 necessary, through the filter to make the 
 filtrate measure 32 fluidounces. 
 
 The solution will keep for several 
 days. 
 
 The fermentation causes the conver- 
 sion of a portion of the tannin in the 
 galls into gallic acid, which results in an 
 ink superior to one containing tannin 
 only. 
 
 Chinese galls are preferred to oak 
 galls because of the larger amount of 
 extractive matter. 
 
 Tannin solution: 
 
 Tannic acid av.oz. 3 
 
 Muriatic acid, commercial. . .fl.dr. 4 
 
 Distilled water sufficient 
 
 Mix the two acids and -3 fluidounces 
 of water in a flask, and heat on a water 
 bath to a temperature of 80 to 90 C. 
 for 3 hours, adding from time to' time 
 hot water until 27 fluidounces are added. 
 
 This solution should not be kept long- 
 er than 7 days. 
 
 Aniline Inks. — Many of the coal-tar 
 dyes (misnamed "anilines") which are 
 now manufactured, produce excellent 
 copying inks. Compared to nutgall, tan- 
 nin, and logwood inks, they are less per- 
 manent, but they will serve excellently 
 where no especial permanence is re- 
 quired. They are especially useful as 
 hectograph inks. Where permanence of 
 writing is demanded, as in the draught- 
 ing of documents, aniline inks cannot be 
 employed, as they soon become bleached 
 from the action of air and light. 
 
 It is to be noted here that water con- 
 taining lime decomposes many aniline 
 colors, and solutions of these dyes in 
 
 calcareous water may thicken in the 
 course of time, hence only distilled wa- 
 ter should be employed in the manufac- 
 ture of these inks. 
 
 In making, only the best obtainable 
 dye of the kind mentioned should be 
 used, as otherwise good results cannot 
 be obtained. 
 
 Logwood Inks.— These might also be 
 designated as chrome inks, for they al- 
 ways contain potassium bichromate or 
 chrome alum; also some acid, with the 
 object of producing acid salts of the 
 chromium compound. The greater the 
 amount of acid in proportion to the 
 chromium, the paler or redder and thin- 
 ner the product, and, conversely, the. 
 greater the proportion of chromium, the 
 darker and thicker the ink will be. Most 
 logwood inks copy with great facility- 
 writing produced sometimes being copy- 
 able even after weeks and months. 
 
 Logwood inks can be more easily 
 erased from paper than nutgall inks. 
 They have the advantage of furnishing 
 several copies if desired. All inks lose 
 their copying qualities when exposed to 
 air containing even traces of ammonia. 
 In order to facilitate copying with an 
 exposed logwood ink, the copying paper 
 should be moistened with a 1/10% aque- 
 ous solution of potassium chromate. Old 
 writing made with logwood ink may be 
 copied in the same manner, even after 
 the lapse of years. 
 
 Logwood inks may be prepared from 
 the following solution : 
 
 Logwood extract solution: 
 
 Logwood extract, best. .. .av.oz. 4^2 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 20 
 
 Dissolve the extract in the water on a 
 water-bath, set the solution aside for 8 
 days, and decant the clear liquid. 
 
 Nutgall Copying Inks. — Copying inks 
 differ from non-copying in that they re- 
 tain their copying qualities. Inks which 
 are made with ferric salts soon become 
 non-copyable, while those made with 
 ferrous salts, especially ferrous sulfate, 
 copy the best. Hence copying inks are 
 made with ferrous salts, and non-copy- 
 
110-J 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 ing inks with ferric salts. The copying 
 qualities of ink are improved by the ad- 
 dition of pure sugar or of glucose. 
 
 In preparing the different nutgall copy- 
 ing inks, the following mixture, which 
 may be known as Nutgall Ink Body I, 
 forms the basic ingredient : 
 
 Nutgall Ink Body I: 
 
 Xutgall infusion (see 
 above) fl.oz. 30 
 
 Sulfuric acid, concentrated. . . .m. 40

 15 minutes on a water bath, dissolve the 
 iron salt in the mixture, transfer the 
 latter to a bottle, cork well, set aside for 
 2 weeks, filter and add through the filter 
 enough water to make the filtrate meas- 
 ure 32 fluidounces. 
 
 Nutgall Non-Copying Inks. — The fol- 
 lowing mixture, known in these pages 
 as Nutgall Ink Body II, serves as a 
 body for many of the inks mentioned 
 below :

 Solution of chlorid of iron, 
 U. S. P fl.oz. 2^2 
 
 All on this mixture to stand for 2 
 weeks in a closed vessel, and then filter. 
 
 Tannin Copying Inks. — Tannin copy- 
 ing inks, like the nutgall copying inks, 
 are preferably made with ferrous salts 
 and contain an addition of sugar or glu- 
 cose. The following mixture, which 
 may be known as "tannin ink body I," 
 is the basic ingredient of the tannin 
 copying inks : 
 
 Tannin Ink Body I: 
 
 Tannin solution fl.oz. 15 
 
 Ferrous sulfate, pure av.oz. 1^4 
 
 Distilled water sufficient 
 
 Heat the tannin solution to about 70 
 or 8o° C.j also dissolve the iron salt in 
 9 fluidounces of hot water; mix the hot 
 solutions by pouring iron solution grad- 
 ually into the tannin solution, set the 
 mixture aside for 3 weeks, filter and 
 add enough water through the filter to 
 make the filtrate measure 25 fluidounces. 
 
 Tannin Non-Copying Inks. — The tan- 
 nin inks herein mentioned are frequent- 
 ly prepared by the use of the following 
 mixture, which may conveniently be 
 termed "tannin ink body II" :

 paste, then the extract of logwood pre- 
 viously dissolved, in the remainder of 
 the water. Filter and transfer the liquor 
 to a rather large bottle, drop in a few 
 nails or iron filings, and expose the 
 whole to the sunlight for a week, with 
 occasional agitation. Lastly, decant and 
 preserve by incorporating the carbolic 
 acid. 
 
 This ink does not corrode the pen, is 
 not affected by light, and does not gum, 
 but it is not acid proof.

 The galls and cloves, coarsely ground, 
 may be extracted by percolation with 
 water until 40 fluidounces are obtained, 
 or they may be macerated with sufficient 
 water. In either case it is intended to 
 produce 4*0 fluidounces of the fluid, and 
 allowance must be made for the water 
 absorbed by the marc. To this, when 
 filtered, add the iron, and when dis- 
 solved filter again, then add the acid 
 and, after mixing thoroughly, the indigo 
 paste, after which it may be again fil- 
 tered. 
 
 If the ink is intended to be non-copy- 
 ing, only 4>2 ounces of galls should be 
 used. 
 
 This produces a blue-black fluid, not 
 apt to mold. To insure a superior prod- 
 uct, careful attention must be paid to 
 manipulation, details, and to the quality 
 of its ingredients. The galls must be 
 free from insect perforations, and the 
 iron in selected crystals free from efflor- 
 escence or ferric salt, and the indigo be 
 neutral, or nearly so. If the article sold 
 as "indigo paste" is not at hand, it may 
 be prepared by carefully adding to the 
 ordinary sulfate of indigo a solution of 
 potassic or sodic carbonate until effer- 
 vescence ceases. 
 
 This is said to be the formula used by 
 a large firm in England.

 I. This may be prepared by mixing 
 equal parts of potassium iodid and lead 
 acetate, placing them upon a filter, and 
 then pouring on twenty times the quan- 
 tity of boiling distilled water. As the 
 filtrate cools the lead iodid separates in 
 golden scales. After the filtrate has 
 cooled the precipitate should be collected 
 on a filter, washed with a little cold wa- 
 ter, and rubbed up to an ink with muci- 
 lage of acacia. The ink must be shaken 
 before using. 
 
 II. Reduce gold foil to powder by 
 triturating in a mortar with honey or

 A red, inclining to purple may also be

 of about 2 drams to the pint. Solution 
 may be more readily effected by first 
 dissolving the color in a little alcohol 
 (about 5 fluidrams), and then adding 
 the water. A small proportion of gum 
 arabic is sometimes added to give the 
 ink more "body." Two drams to the 
 pint is sufficient.

 Vanadium Ink. 
 
 Vanadium tannate was first proposed 
 for use as a writing ink by Berzelius, 
 because the writing is not affected by 
 acids, but the high price of vanadium 
 salts was a great obstacle to its intro- 
 duction. Since these salts have been 
 more largely prepared for use in the 
 manufacture of aniline black and other 
 dyes, vanadium ink has again been pro- 
 posed. The following formula may 
 be used: 
 
 Tannic acid : . . . . av.oz. 1 
 
 Ammonium vanadium gr. 18 
 
 Water fl.oz. 10 
 
 Dissolve the acid in 9 fluidounces of 
 water and the vanadium in 1 fluidounce 
 of water, and mix the solutions. 
 
 This ink flows with a deep-black color 
 from the pen, without spreading or 
 striking through the paper, although it 
 contains no gum. It has a nice gloss, 
 cannot be copied, dries quickly, and, 
 even if the writing is laid in water 
 for 24 hours, does not change its black 
 color. It is very useful for writing 
 addresses of letters, postal cards, etc., 
 when used fresh. Dilute acids do not 
 alter it, but solutions of chlorinated 
 potassa (or soda) bleach it completely. 
 After a few weeks the tint of the ink 
 begins to change, writing executed with 
 it becomes lighter and somewhat yellow- 
 ish, and in about 3 months the change 
 is completed, when it has a fox-yellow 
 tint. The writing is still plainly legible, 
 
 however, and cannot be removed either 
 
 by water or by acids.

 tated barium sulfate, or starch (all in 
 an impalpable powder) and suspend in 
 a diluted solution of gum arabic, dex- 
 trin, or tragacanth. The mixture re- 
 quires shaking from time to time to 
 keep the pigments from separating. The 
 "ink" may be preserved by addition of 
 oil of clove or other antiseptic to pre- 
 vent decomposition of the mucilage. 
 
 HECTOGRAPH INKS. (Chromogra- 
 phic Inks.) 
 
 These are inks which are used in 
 connection with hectographs (see Hect- 
 ographs Masses or Pads). As will be 
 observed they are made with coal tar, 
 or the so-called aniline dyes. 
 
 Hectograph Ink (Black).

 MARKING INKS. (Laundry Ink.) 
 
 These are the inks intended for mark- 
 ing clothes prior to passing them 
 through the laundry. Most of them are 
 made with silver salts as a basis. 
 
 In order to distinguish from brand- 
 ing inks, read article under Branding 
 Inks. See also Indelible Inks.

 then incorporate the lampblack with this 
 solution by trituration. 
 
 In using, write with a quill pen, allow 
 the writing to dry, then pass a hot iron 
 over it. 
 
 If the quantity of gum be increased 
 to 5 -fluidounces, the ink may be spread 
 on a plate of glass and a rubber stamp 
 may then be used to apply it. When 
 the mark is dry, it should be ironed as 
 in the preceding case.

 In 'using the ink, employ an ordinary 
 
 pen, and if it should be too thick, thin 
 it with a little oil of turpentine. This 
 ink does not spread, and reouires no 
 heating. It never fades, and it is not 
 affected by anything. 
 
 IV. The indelibility of this ink de- 
 pends on the fact that when potassium 
 bichromate and gelatin come together, 
 particularly in the form of a thin film, 
 in the presence of daylight, the film 
 becomes insoluble in hot or cold water.

 If it is found that the ink "gums" 
 in the pen, the quantity of gelatin and 
 bichromate may be somewhat reduced. 
 The ink, when properly made, cannot 
 be entirely removed by hot or cold water, 
 acids or alkalies.

 black or blackish color. 
 
 INKS, MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 A variety of inks and ink products, or 
 preparations known as "inks," but which 
 are not writing inks are mentioned un- 
 der this heading. 
 
 Branding Ink. 
 
 By this is meant a liquid used for 
 marking boxes, bales, packages, etc., by 
 means of a small brush. They are fre- 
 quently termed marking inks, and are 
 also used for stenciling purposes. 
 I. 
 
 Shellac av.oz. 2 
 
 Borax av.oz. 2 
 
 Gum arabic av.oz. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 25 
 
 Pigment sufficient 
 
 Boil the borax and shellac in the 
 water until they are dissolved, add the 
 gum arabic and allow to cool. Add 
 water to complete 25 fluidounces and 
 then stir in the pigment, using either 
 Venetian red, lampblack, ultramarine, or 
 Prussian blue. Black is improved by 
 the addition of blue. Green may be pro- 
 duced from a mixture of blue and 
 chrome yellow. 
 
 II. Rub lampblack, gum arabic, and 
 some fine clay together like pipe clay 
 or fuller's earth, and then mix with 
 water to suitable consistence. Lamp- 
 black imparts the color, clay the body 
 and the gum the adhesiveness. Any 
 other gummy substances such as dex- 
 trin may be used as the adhesive. The 
 color may be varied as in the case 0/

 oil of turpentine, and then adding a 
 small amount of lampblack or other 
 black pigment. 
 
 Chinese Ink. 
 See India Ink. 
 
 Diamond Ink. 
 This is a liquid used for etching 
 glass. Commercial strong hydrofluoric 
 acid often gives negative results, be- 
 cause when applied in its pure state, it 
 produces such a smooth corrosion of 
 the glass that it may elude superficial 
 inspection. The most common method 
 consists in mixing ammonium fluorid 
 with precipitated barium sulfate and 
 decomposing with sulfuric acid, and is 
 as follows: 
 I. 
 
 Ammonium fluorid av.oz. i 
 
 Barium sulfate av.oz. 3 
 
 Sulfuric acid sufficient 
 
 Rub the two solids together, transfer 
 to a platinum, lead or gutta-percha ves 
 sel, and add sufficient sulfuric acid to 
 produce a cream-like paste. Operators 
 must be cautioned against inhaling the 
 exceedingly acrid vapors of hydroflouric 
 acid. Apply with a quill or camel's-hair 
 pencil. 
 II. 
 
 Ammonium fluorid av.oz. 2

 Hydrofluoric acid, fuming. sufficient 
 Mix the two salts in a porcelain mor- 
 tar, transfer to a platinum or lead ves- 
 sel, and by means of a platinum wire 
 stir in enough of the acid to make a 
 thin paste. 
 
 Writing may be performed with a 
 steel pen, allow it to remain for one- 
 half hour, and then wash off with wa- 
 ter. To make etching more visible, rub 
 in a little printer's ink.

 paraffin wax. 
 
 Drawing Ink. 
 Use either Endorsing Ink, Enamel 
 Ink, or Indestructible Ink for Glass, 
 which see. 
 
 Enamel Ink. 
 An ink, or rather varnish, for writing 
 labels which are intended to resist the 
 action of acids, etc., may be prepared 
 as follows : 
 
 Shellac av.oz. 1 
 
 Borax av.oz. 1 ^2 
 
 Xigrosin (water-soluble) . .av.oz. ^2 
 
 Tannic acid ". gr. 15

 Ammonia water .fl.dr. 12 
 
 Water sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the shellac and borax in 15 
 to 20 fluidounces of water by the aid of 
 heat, and filter hot; to the filtrate add 
 the nigrosin, acids and ammonia, and 
 then enough water to reduce the mix- 
 ture to the required dilution. 
 
 The ink should be of such consistence 
 that it will readily flow from the pen. 
 Endorsing Ink. 
 
 Shellac 
 
 Borax 
 
 Water 
 
 Mucilage of acacia.... 
 
 Boil the first three together for a 
 short time, filter, add the mucilage, and 
 to the mixture add enough lampblack or 
 powdered indigo or a mixture of the 
 two to bring it to the required shade. 
 
 The ink dries with a glossy surface 
 and is practically indestructible. 
 Indelible Inks. 
 
 All the inks under the heading of 
 Inks, Marking, are indelible and are in- 
 tended for marking clothes. There are

 are applied with a pen and the latter 
 "with a stamp. 
 
 Indestructible Ink for Deeds, Etc. 
 Use either Endorsing Ink, which see, 
 or the following : 
 
 Oil of lavender fl.oz. i 
 
 Gum copal fl.dr. I 
 
 Lampblack gr. 10 
 
 Indigo gr. 2 
 
 Dissolve the gum in the oil by the aid 
 of a gentle heat, then thoroughly incor- 
 porate the pigments which must have 
 been rubbed to an impalpable powder. 
 
 Indestructible Ink for Writing on 
 Glass. 
 
 Labels on bottles containing solution's 
 of various chemical substances are often 
 attacked by the latter, and in a short 
 time become illegible. In such cases it 
 is advisable to write on the glass direct- 
 ly with an ink that is not affected by 
 chemical substances. Such an ink is 
 made according to the following for- 
 mula: 
 
 Shellac dr. 2^ 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 2>4 
 
 Borax dr 4^ 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 4 
 
 Methyl violet gr. 10 
 
 The shellac is dissolved in the alcohol, 
 and the borax in the water. The alco- 
 holic solution, previously slightly warm- 
 ed, is then added to the borax solution, 
 little by little, and as soon as the two 
 solutions are thoroughly mixed the 
 methyl violet is added. 
 
 Bottles and other vessels marked with 
 this ink can be readily cleaned with a 
 damp cloth without causing the slightest 
 injury to the label.

 India Ink. (Chinese Ink.) 
 The following processes are said to be 
 used: Rub lampblack to a paste with a 
 very weak liquor potassa, and diffuse 
 through water made slightly alkaline 
 with the potassa. Then collect the pig- 
 ment, wash it with water, and dry it. 
 The dry powder is then to be levigated 
 to a smooth stiff paste with a strong fil- 
 tered decoction of Irish moss or quince 
 seed, a few drops of essence of musk 
 and about half as much essence of am- 
 bergris being added towards the end of 
 the process. The moss is then molded, 
 dried, and ornamented with Chinese 
 characters. 
 
 Another process is this : Boil a weak 
 solution of fine gelatin in a Papin's di- 
 gester for 2 hours, then in an open ves- 
 sel for one hour filter the liquid, evapo- 
 rate it to proper consistency, either in a 
 steam or salt water bath, and make into 
 a paste as before with pure lampblack 
 which has previously been heated to 
 dull redness in a crucible. 
 
 Invisible Inks (Sympathetic, Fading, 
 Vanishing or Diplomatic Inks). 
 
 Invisible or sympathetic inks are fluids 
 used for writing purposes, the charac- 
 ters made with them being invisible, but 
 becoming visible upon the application of 
 heat or of some suitable reagent. "Writ- 
 ing made with those inks which becomes 
 visible upon the application of heat, 
 again becomes invisible upon cooling; on 
 the contraiy, writing developed by chem- 
 ical action remains permanent.

 To make the writing or the drawing 
 appear which has been made upon paper 
 with the ink, it is sufficient to dip it into 
 water. On drying, the traces disappear 
 again, and reappear by each succeeding 
 immersion. 
 
 The mixture must be agitated each 
 time before the pen is dipped into it, as 
 a little of the oil may separate and float 
 on top, which would, of course, leave 
 an oily stain upon the paper. 
 
 III. Write with tincture of iron chlor- 
 id diluted with 10 parts of water, and 
 develop with a blotter moistened with a 
 solution of tannin or decoction of nut- 
 galls or strong tea. 
 
 This may be reversed by writing with 
 a decoction of nutgalls and developing 
 with the blotter moistened with tincture 
 of iron.

 ble Ink for Glass, which see.

 mixture. The lampblack and indigo 
 should both be of the very best quality. 
 The mixture is to be thinned to the de- 
 sired consistency with a mixture of 
 equal parts of oil of turpentine and 
 ligroine. 
 
 Persian Ink. 
 This is a lasting ink which is a sort 
 of compromise between Indian or Chi- 
 nese ink and the iron inks of the west- 
 ern world. It is as follows : 
 
 Lampblack part 1 
 
 Iron sulfate part 1 
 
 Xutgall parts 2 
 
 Gum arabic, purest parts 4 
 
 Reduce the substances to the finest 
 powder, mix intimately and then on a 
 tile or stone work up, adding water, at 
 first in small amount at a time, until 
 the mass is homogenous, when it may 
 be added more freely. The amount of 
 water added is according to the use to 
 which the ink is to be put. 
 
 Shading-Pen Ink. 
 
 This may be made by rubbing up solu- 
 ble blue with a thin mucilage of acacia 
 and adding some glycerin. A black ink 
 may be made by rubbing up lampblack 
 in the same manner. Inks of other col- 
 ors may be made by using various ani- 
 lines dyes. The so-called stamping inks 
 may be used as shading-pen inks. 
 
 Shoe-Finisher's Ink. 
 
 See under the regular heading of 
 Shoe-Finisher's Ink. 
 
 Show-Card Ink. 
 
 I. A common method of making an 
 ink for show-card purposes is to dis- 
 solve a teaspoonful of some aniline dye 
 in a pint of water by the aid of heat, 
 in this solution dissolving an ounce of 
 yellow dextrin to give body to the ink. 
 
 II. Another formula is the follow- 
 ing: 
 
 Shellac, bleached av.oz. . 2 
 
 Borax, crystal av.oz. 1 
 
 Water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Rub up the shellac and borax together 
 in a mortar until reduced to a fine pow- 
 der ; then place the mixture in an enam- 
 eled iron vessel and add the water; ap- 
 ply heat, and boil the whole together 
 until the mixture begins to foam when 
 it is removed from the fire and allowed 
 to cool. The boiling process is to be 
 repeated until all of the shellac is finally 
 dissolved. When cold the solution is to 
 be strained through fine cheesecloth, and 
 constitutes the vehicle for the pigment, 
 sufficient Frankfort black or lampblack 
 being stirred in, together with a little 
 finely powdered indigo, to produce a 
 bluish or jet-black color. 
 
 A variety of colored inks may be 
 made by the addition of various pig- 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1117 
 
 ments. A thoroughly smooth mixture 
 should be made of the pigment with the 
 liquid. 
 
 If a glossy ink is desired, yellow dex- 
 trin should be added in the proportion 
 of i to 4 av. ounces of dextrin to 16 
 fluidounces of ink. 
 
 III. This makes a good black show- 
 card ink: 
 
 Asphaltum av.oz. 4 
 
 Venice turpentine av.oz. 2 
 
 Lampblack av.oz. 1 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 16 
 
 Dissolve the asphaltum and Venice 
 turpentine in the oil and with this solu- 
 tion thoroughly incorporate the lamp- 
 black. 
 
 Stamping Inks. (Rubber Stamp 
 Inks.) 
 
 These inks are generally used for 
 stamping impressions (printing, etc.) 
 on paper. They are made with glycerin 
 as a vehicle and a water-soluble coal-tar 
 color (so-called "aniline dye") imparts 
 the color. Dextrin may be added to in- 
 crease the "body" or density of the mix- 
 ture. These inks must be perfectly 
 smooth and the dye thoroughly dis- 
 solved to make a nice, clean impression. 
 These inks are used for rubber stamps, 
 as oily inks speedily decompose rubber. 
 The following is a good example.

 with metal stamps).

 Dissolve the nigrosin in the alcohol, 
 
 add the other ingredients, and make a 
 
 perfectly smooth mixture. 
 
 This ink is thinner than the preceding

 Stamping Ink. (For Use with Metal 
 Stamps.) 
 
 Rubber-stamp inks usually have glyce- 
 rin as a vehicle; metal-stamp inks may 
 have oil or glycerin as a vehicle, and 
 hence the preceding rubber-stamp inks 
 may be used as metal-stamp inks, or the 
 formulas given below may be used. The 
 formulas mentioned are of two varie- 
 ties, one containing the coloring matter 
 in suspension, the other in solution. In 
 either case a perfectly smooth mixture 
 must be made.

 smoothness, then add the oil, little by 
 little, with constant rubbing. After in- 
 corporating all of the oil, heat the mix- 
 ture under constant stirring to about 45 
 C. until the dye is completely dissolved. 
 
 While olive oil is not a drying oil, 
 the oleic acid causes it to be absorbed

 Typewriter Ink. 
 
 Typewriter ink is of two kinds, one 
 being made with petrolatum and lamp- 
 black or similar pigment, the other 
 with glycerin and alcohol and aniline 
 color. The former is to be used if a 
 permanent record is desired. 
 
 In making the first kind, put some 
 best-quality petrolatum into a suitable 
 vessel, and melt it by placing the ve? 
 sel on a fire ; then put as much lamp- 
 black or bone black as the petrolatum 
 will take up without becoming granu- 
 lar. To effect this incorporation the 
 black pigment should be put in a little 
 at a time, and the whole thoroughly 
 stirred while making the additions. Be 
 careful not to let the petrolatum be in 
 excess, as it will cause the print to have 
 a greasy outline ; while on the other 
 hand, if the pigment be in excess, the 
 print will not be clear. Ordinary bone 
 black does not make a good product ; 
 purified animal charcoal will do better. 
 If the petrolatum is too soft, add a 
 small amount of yellow wax. 
 
 When a proper mixture of petrolat- 
 um and pigment has been made, remove 
 the vessel from the fire, and while it is 
 cooling mix equal parts of petrolatum, 
 benzin and oil of turpentine, and in this 
 mixture put the black petrolatum com- 
 pound, mixing in a little of the other, 
 with constant stirring, so as to effect 
 a thorough combination, and the petro-

 latum compound becomes "dissolved. 
 The quantity of the volatile solvent 
 should be sufficient to render the fluid 
 ink of the consistence of oil paint ; the 
 result will be a good, permanent black 
 ink, which will not be rubbed off with 
 water like aniline inks. For colored 
 inks of this class use Prussian blue, red 
 led, chrome yellow ; and for inks of the 
 aniline class use these dyes dissolved 
 in equal parts of alcohol and glycerin; 
 thus, for a black aniline ink dissolve 
 one-half av. ounce of aniline black in 
 13 fluidounces alcohol, and then add 
 the glycerin. Ink the ribbon in the us- 
 ual way. 
 
 Having prepared the ink, proceed to 
 ink the ribbon; the secret of success 
 lies in the proper application of the ink 
 to the ribbon. Thus : wind the ribbon 
 on a piece of cardboard, spread on a 
 table several layers of newspapers, then 
 unwind the ribbon in such lengths as 
 may be most convenient, and lay it flat 
 on the naper ; apply the ink, after well 
 shaking it, by means of a soft brush, 
 and rub it well into the interstices of 
 the ribbon with a toothbrush. Hardlv 
 any ink should remain visible on the 
 surface. 
 
 For inking typewriter ribbons the fol- 
 lowing process is also recommended : 
 Into 2 fluidounces of any aniline writing 
 ink ->ut a teaspoonful of mucilage of 
 acacia, and a teaspoonful of brown su- 
 gar, warm the mixture, and immerse the 
 ribbon from the typewriter long enough 
 for it to become well saturated. When 
 dry, spread the ribbon on a board and 
 brush it well with glycerin. Should 
 there be too much color in the ribbon, 
 press it out between absorbent papers 
 with a warm flatiron; or if too dry, 
 brush it again with glycerin. 
 
 The secret of the ribbon giving out 
 its color is the glycerin, and if there 
 is body enough in the color there is no 
 danger that it cannot be made to work 
 well. A ribbon so prepared is not af- 
 fected by the dryness or humidity of 
 the atmosphere. 
 
 It is necessary that the ribbon should 
 retain a certain degree of moisture, 
 for the gum and sugar make it dry and 
 harsh, so the glycerin coating is put on ; 
 but there is danger of smearing the 
 paper with too much moisture, or caus- 
 ing a wrinkled surface, and the ironing 
 obviates this. 
 
 Users of the typewriter should so set 
 a fresh ribbon as to start at the edge 
 nearest the operator, allowing it to run 
 back and forth with the same adjust- 
 ment until exhausted along that strip; 
 then shift the ribbon forward with the 
 width of one letter, running until ex- 
 hausted, and so on. Finally, when the 
 whole ribbon is exhausted the color will 
 have been equally used up, and on re- 
 inking the work will appear even in 
 color, while it will look patchy if some 
 of the old ink has been left here and 
 there, and fresh ink applied over it. 
 
 The following formula may also be 
 used to make a typewriter ink: 
 
 Transparent soap av.oz. 1 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 4 
 
 Water fl.oz. 12 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 24 
 
 Aniline color sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the soap in the water and 
 glycerin by the aid of heat; dissolve 
 the aniline color in the alcohol and mix 
 the solution. If the ink is too soft, add 
 more soap. 
 
 For' the aniline color, use any suit- 
 able coal tar dye.

 Ink for Writing or Etching en 
 Metals. 
 
 I. The most simple compound for 
 writing on metals such as tin or zinc 
 is a mixture of ordinary shellac-varnish 
 with lampblack. The latter should be 
 rubbed in a mortar with a little of the 
 varnish until the mixture has become 
 perfectly smooth and homogeneous, 
 when it may be diluted with enough 
 of the varnish to make it of the proper 
 consistence. This mixture will produce 
 dead black writing. If lustrous writing 
 is desired, the shellac should be dis- 
 solved in oil of turpentine. 
 
 II. An ink for this purpose may also 
 be made by making a solution of 72 
 grains copper sulfate in 3 fluidounces 
 of distilled water, and adding 9 drops 
 of hydrochloric acid. A little mucilage 
 should also be added. And in order to 
 be able to see the writing at once, a 
 little pyrogallic acid may be added. For 
 writing with this ink, a copper pen must 
 be used. 
 
 INK POWDERS OR EXTRACTS. 
 
 Ink powders or extracts are dr}' prep- 
 arations Intended for the extempora- 
 neous manufacture of ink by treatment 
 with water. Boiling distilled water must 
 be used for solution as this prevents 
 moulding of the ink. These powders 
 are of similar composition to inks, and 
 there are therefore aniline, logwood and 
 nutgall ink powders and these mav 
 make copying or non-copying inks of 
 different colors. 
 
 Aniline Ink Powders. 
 
 In preparing ink from these powders, 
 add to the material mentioned in the 
 formula, 16 fluidounces of boiling dis- 
 tilled water and stir with a wooden 
 soatula until all is dissolved. Avoid 
 metallic vessels in dissolving the pow-

 INK ERASIVES. 
 
 Fresh ink spots are removed with 
 compartive ease; old spots, especially 
 after passing repeatedly through the 
 laundry, are usually extinguished with 
 considerable difficulty. The ink era- 
 sives are intended for the removal of 
 ink spots from paper as well as from 
 fabrics. 
 
 I. The following composition will re- 
 move ink or writing fluids from paper, 
 cloth, etc. : 
 
 No. 1. 
 
 Gtric acid av.oz. 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Saturated aqueous solution of 
 
 borax fl.oz. 3 or 4 
 
 Dissolve the acid in the water and 
 add the borax solution. 
 No. 2. 
 
 Chlorinated lime av.oz. 6 
 
 Water fl.oz. 16 
 
 Saturated aqueous solution of 
 
 borax fl.oz. 3 or 4 
 
 Mix the lime and water, shake well, 
 set aside for 1 week in a well stoppered 
 bottle, decant the clear liquid, and add 
 the borax solution. 
 
 This composition is used by saturat- 
 ing the ink spot with solution No. 1, 
 removing excess of liquid with a blot- 
 ter, and then applying solution No. 2. 
 When the strain has disappeared, ap- 
 ply the blotter, and wash the spot by 
 the alternate use of clear water and 
 blotting paper. 
 
 Ink destroyed in such a manner can- 
 not well be brought to view again by 
 chemicals. 
 
 II. Take of chlorinated lime 4 av. 
 ounces, thoroughly pulverized, and 32 
 fluidounces distilled water. Shake well 
 and set the mixture aside for 24 hours, 
 in order to dissolve the lime, then strain 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES.

 through a cotton cloth, after which 
 add 2 fluidounces of acetic acid to 
 every pint of chlorinated lime water. 
 
 This eraser is used by reversing the 
 penholder in the hand, dipping the end 
 of the reversed penholder into the fluid 
 and applying it without rubbing, to the 
 word, figure or blot required to be 
 erased. When the ink has disappeared 
 absorb the fluid with a blotter, and the 
 paper is immediately ready to write 
 upon again. 
 
 This formula was patented in 1872. 
 
 III. Treat the stain with stannous 
 chlorid to reduce the ferric salt to the 
 ferrous condition and then treat with 
 oxalic acid solution. 
 
 IV. A mixture of equal parts of ox- 
 alic and tartaric acids has been recom- 
 mended. When needed for use dissolve 
 a small amount in water and apply to 
 the spots. 
 
 V. Stretch the goods over a hot 
 dinner plate, moisten with hot water, 
 then rub in with the bowl of a spoon 
 a mixture of equal parts of potassium 
 bitartrate and citric acid, rubbing until 
 the spot disappears. 
 
 VI. Dip the goods in hot water, rub 
 the spots with crystals of oxalic acid; 
 then soak in a 1:16 chlorinated lime 
 solution, and, as soon as the stain dis- 
 appears, rinse repeatedly in plenty of 
 water. This requires great care. 
 
 VII. Rub tallow over the ink spots, 
 then wash in a solution of pyrophos- 
 phate of sodium until both the tallow 
 and ink have disappeared. The result 
 depends on the reducing action of the 
 pyrophosphate, which is perfectly harm- 
 less. 
 
 VIII. Moisten with hydrogen per- 
 oxid solution. This acts similarly to 
 stannous chlorid and iron pyrophos- 
 phate. 
 
 IX. As many black inks of the pres- 
 ent day contain nigrosin, a method for 
 its removal is included. Make a paste 
 of chlorinated lime with cold water, 
 
 71 
 
 and rub a little of this over the ink 
 spot with a wooden paddle. Next pour 
 on a little vinegar or diluted acetic acid 
 and continue to rub with the paddle. 
 Lastly, rinse thoroughly with plenty of 
 clear water. The operation may have 
 to be repeated, provided the fabric and 
 the Color can withstand such treatment.

 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 claimed to be one of the very best ap- 
 plications to ward off biting insects of 
 any kind. — H. 
 
 Hager's method of making sodium 
 borosalicylate is as follows: Triturate 
 together 20 parts of borax, 55 parts of 
 salicylic acid and 9 parts of sodium bi- 
 carbonate until the mixture is convert- 
 ed into a pasty mass. Now incorpor- 
 ate 150 parts of 70% alcohol and evap- 
 orate on a water-bath, with constant 
 stirring to dryness. If for the 70% 
 alcohol specified, 100 parts of 90% al- 
 cohol be used, the product will be 
 whiter and the operation will proceed 
 more rapidly. The product equals 60 
 parts. 
 
 III. The following preparation is 
 known as "tincture of insect flowers." 
 
 Insect powder av.oz. 3 
 
 Alcohol sufficient 
 
 Make 10 fluidounces of tincture. 
 It may be applied as a preventive of 
 insect stings; it may also be used, when 
 mixed with an equal volume of alco- 
 hol, as a spray for the destruction -of 
 flies. — D. modified. 
 
 An ethereal tincture may be prepared 
 in a similar manner, using spirit of 
 ether as a menstruum. It is to be used 
 like the preceding. — D. 
 
 Parasiticide Liquids. 
 The parasiticide liquids may be pre- 
 pared as follows. 
 
 I. Liquor Naphthalini Benzinatus : 
 
 Naphthalin av.oz. 3 
 
 Chloroform fl.oz. 4 
 
 Benzin fl.oz. 1 1 y 2 
 
 Mix at a temperature between 18 and 
 
 20 C, and shake until solution has 
 been effected. 
 
 II. Liquor Naphthalini Sulphocarbon- 
 atus : 
 
 Naphthalin av.oz. 6 
 
 Chloroform fl.oz. 10^2 
 
 Carbon disulfid fl.oz. 7 
 
 Prepare like No. I. 
 
 For use in a more fluid form, either 
 of these liquids is to be properly dilut- 
 ed : the following being a good form- 
 : la . 
 
 Common family soap, dry. av.oz. Vz 
 
 Castile soap, dry av.oz. y 2 
 
 Water fl.oz. 18 
 
 Alcohol fl.oz. 1 1 
 
 Liquor naphthalini benzin- 
 atus fl.oz. 3 
 
 Dissolve the soaps in the water and 
 alcohol, previously mixed, allow the li- 
 quid to become cold, and then add the 
 naphthalin solution. Before using the 
 liquid, shake it thoroughly. 
 
 If an ointment is required, S l A av. 
 ounces of petrolatum and i J / 2 av. 
 ounces of ceresin a.e melted together, 
 and before the mass sets 18 fluidounces 
 of the liquor naphthalini benzinatus are 
 to be mixed with it. 
 
 If either of these is to be used as a 
 parasiticide upon animals, it should be 
 applied with a stiff brush, in quantity 
 only large enough to moisten the skin 
 or to render the hair or fur slightly 
 glossy. Under all circumstances it is 
 preferable to avoid using these com- 
 pounds at night time, as accidents may 
 occur by approach to or contact with 
 flames. 
 
 IV. A patented insecticide (1885) is 
 composed of carbolic acid, 2 ounces, 
 quassia, i2 l / 2 pounds, Carolina tar, 5 
 pints, zinc sulfate, 10 ounces, and water, 
 25 gallons. This is directed to be 
 sprayed upon carpet linings.

 INSECTS IN BOOKS, To Prevent. 
 
 The following has been recommend- 
 ed: Mix 3 parts of camphor and 1 of 
 carbolic acid, dissolve by gentle heat 
 and add an equal volume of sweet oil.

 of the book. 
 
 INSECTS IN DRUGS. 
 
 According to the U. S. Department of 
 Agriculture, the principal insect found 
 in drug stores is what is called the 
 "drug-store beetle" (Sitodrepa panicea 
 Linne). According to the Department 
 pamphlet "in pharmacies this insect runs 
 nearlv the gamut of everything kept in 
 store, from insipid gluten wafers to 
 such acrid substances as wormword, 
 from the aromatic cardamom and anise 
 to the deadly aconite and belladonna. 
 It is particularly abundant in roots, 
 
 such as orris and flag and sometimes 
 infests cantharides." But not alone 
 does it attack drugs but it invades 
 mills, granaries, tobacco warehouses, 
 etc. It enters the household and is 
 often found in flour, meal, breakfast 
 foods, and condiments. It is partial 
 to red pepper and occurs in ginger, 
 rhubarb, chamomile, boneset, and other 
 roots and herbs that were kept in the 
 farmhouse in olden days. It sometimes 
 gets into dried beans and peas, choco- 
 late, black pepper, powdered coffee, lic- 
 orice, peppermint, almonds, and seeds 
 of every description. 
 
 It must be remembered that it is not 
 the beetle itself that does the harm 
 but it is the larva or grub hatched out 
 from the egg laid by the mature beetle 
 that bores into all manner of roots, 
 herbs, meals, etc., and ruins them for 
 all purposes. 
 
 Through an extended series of invest- 
 igations made at trie University of 
 Kansas, it was ascertained that a num- 
 ber of other insects infest drugs, vari- 
 ous ticks, mites, etc., for example. 
 
 An excellent manner of destroying all 
 insects in drugs is bv means of chloro- 
 form. A small amount is to be poured 
 into the container containing the in- 
 fested drugs. The chloroform, if used 
 prior to infestation, will also prevent 
 the attacks of insects. It is therefore 
 a wise policy to acd a few drops of 
 chloroform to the container for rhu- 
 barb, cantharides, and other drugs 
 which are so frequently worm-eaten. 
 The chloroform does no harm to the 
 drugs as upon a few moments expo- 
 sure to the air, it is entirely dissipated. 
 
 Chloroform poured on pressed herbs 
 in packages and similar articles will 
 destroy all the worms. 
 
 INSECTICIDES FOR PLANTS. 
 
 Under this heading are mentioned 
 various remedies used by farmers, gar- 
 deners, florists, and others against dif- 
 ferent kinds of worms, bugs, and vari- 
 ous insects and fungi which attack and 
 destroy plants and trees. 
 
1126 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 The formulas, directions, hints, etc., 
 here given are taken from the reports 
 of the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
 ture and of various State agricultural 
 experiment stations, and are to be con- 
 sidered as entirely trustworthy. 
 
 For remedies to combat the fungous 
 diseases of trees, see under heading 
 Fungicides. 
 
 Kerosene as an Insecticide. 
 
 Kerosene is an excellent insecticide, 
 destroying all kinds of insects feeding 
 on plants but in an undiluted form it 
 is too caustic, destroying the delicate 
 plant parts. Various mixtures con- 
 taining kerosene in an emulsified form 
 have been used with success, among 
 them the following: 
 
 Riley Hubbard Kerosene Emulsion: 
 
 This insecticide acts by contact, and 
 is applicable to all non-masticating in- 
 sects (sucking insects, such as the true 
 bugs, and especially plant lice and scale 
 insects), and also to many of the man- 
 dibulate insects when the use of arsen- 
 ites is not advisable. Kerosene emul- 
 sion may be made by means of various 
 emulsifying agents, but the most sat- 
 isfactory substances, and those most 
 available to the average farmer and 
 fruit-grower, are milk and soapsuds. 
 In each of these cases the amount of 
 emulsifying agent should be one-half 
 the quantity of kerosene. 
 
 One of the most satisfactory for- 
 mulas is as follows : 
 
 Kerosene gall. 2 
 
 Common soap or whale-oil 
 
 soap av.oz. 8 
 
 Water gall. 1 
 
 Dssolve the soap in the water by the 
 aid of heat, and add the solution boil- 
 ing hot to the kerosone. Churn the 
 mixture by means of a force pump and 
 spray nozzle for 5 to 10 minutes. The 
 emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream 
 which thickens upon cooling, and 
 should adhere without oiliness to the 
 surface of glass. Nof free oil should 
 rise from surface of the liquid, as 
 this would inure the foilage. 
 
 For use against scale insects, dilute 
 one part of the emulsion with 9 parts 
 of water. For most other insects, dilute 
 one part of the emulsion with 15 parts 
 of water. For soft insects, like plant 
 lice, the dilution may be carried to from 
 20 to 25 parts of water. For most in- 
 sects the proper dilution is with 15 parts 
 of water. This liquid should be applied 
 by force, and enough used to thoroughly 
 wet the insects. 
 Kerosene Emulsion (milk formula): 
 
 Kerosene gall. 2 
 
 Sour milk gall. 1 
 
 Heating is unnecessary, the two be- 
 ing churned together. The change is 
 from a watery liquid to a thick, but- 
 tery consistency, which takes place very 
 suddenly after 3 to 5 minutes agitation. 
 With sweet milk, difficultv will be ex- 
 perienced, and if the emulsion does not 
 result in 5 minutes, the addition of 
 a small amount of vinegar will 
 produce the result promptly. It if 
 better to prepare the milk emul- 
 sion from time to time for immed 
 iate use, unless it can be stored in 
 air-tight jars; otherwise it will ferment 
 and spoil within a week or two. 
 
 Instead of kerosene, crude petroleum 
 oil may be used, Beaumont oil being 
 the kind used by the Department. The 
 emulsion is directed to be prepared in 
 this wise : 
 
 Crude petroleum gall. 2 
 
 Water pints 4 
 
 Hard soap av.oz. 8 
 
 Dissolve the soap in the water (soft) 
 with the aid of heat; to this add the 
 petroleum, mix with a spray pump or 
 shake vigorously, and dilute with the 
 desired amount of water. Soap con- 
 taining an amount of free alkali equiv- 
 alent to 9/10% of sodium hydroxid 
 gives the best emulsion. All of the 
 laundry soaps examined by the De- 
 partment were quite satisfactory but 
 toilet soaps were usually not suitable. " 
 Arsenical Insecticides. 
 These poisons (Paris green or Lon- 
 don purple) are of the greatest serv- 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1127 
 
 ice against all mandibulate insects, as 
 larvae and beetles, and they furnish the 
 most satisfactory means of controlling- 
 most leaf-feeders, and the best whole- 
 sale remedy against the codling moth. 
 Caution must be used in applying them 
 on account of the liability of burning- 
 or scalding the foliage. 
 
 The poisons should be thoroughly 
 mixed with water at the rate of from I 
 pound to 100-250 gallons of water, and 
 applied with a force-pump or hand 
 spray-nozzle. In preparing the wash 
 it will be best to first mix the poison 
 with a small quantity of water, making 
 a thick batter, and then dilute the latter 
 and add to the reservoir or spray-tank, 
 mixing the whole thoroughly. When 
 freshly mixed, either London purple 
 or Paris green may be applied to apple, 
 plum and other fruit trees (except the 
 peach) at the rate of 1 pound to 150- 
 200 gallons, the latter amount being 
 recommended for the plum, which is 
 somewhat more susceptible to scalding 
 than the apple. White arsenic does 
 little if any injury at the rate of 1 
 pound to 50 gallons of water. It has 
 been shown, however, that when al- 
 lowed to remain for some time (two 
 weeks or more) in water the white ar- 
 senic acts with wonderful energy, 
 scalding when used at the rate of 1 
 pound to 100 gallons from 10 to 90% 
 of the foliage. The action of the other 
 arsenites remains practically the same, 
 with perhaps a slight increase in the 
 case of London purple. 
 
 With the apple, in spraying for the 
 codling moth, at least two applications 
 should be made — the first on the fall- 
 ing of the blossoms, the apples being 
 about the size of peas, and the second 
 a week or 10 days later — but the poison 
 should never be applied after the fruit 
 turns down on the stem, on account of 
 the danger of the poison collecting and 
 remaining permanently in the stem 
 cavity. 
 
 For the plum curculio on the plum, 
 cherry, peach, etc., two or three appli- 
 cations should be made during the lat- 
 ter part of May and the first half of 
 June. In the case of most leaf-feeders, 
 spray on the first indication of their 
 presence. 
 
 The following formula may also be 
 employed : 
 
 Paris green or London 
 
 purple av.oz. 3 to 4 
 
 Fresh lime." , av.oz. 8 
 
 Flour av.oz. 16 
 
 Water gall. 45 
 
 Shake the lime in a gallon of water 
 and rub till smooth; then strain and 
 stir in the arsenite. Boil the flour 
 to a thin paste. Dilute the arsenite with 
 the necessary water, then add the flour 
 paste and use. This is the standard 
 remedy for all kinds of leaf-gnawing 
 insects. A good sample of London pur- 
 ple is just as effective as Paris green, 
 and usually costs less. The lime is add- 
 ed to neutralize any soluble arsenite 
 compounds, and the flour is used to 
 make the arsenite adhere better to the 
 foliage. 
 
 With the peach, these poisons, when 
 applied alone, even at the rate of 1 
 pound to 300 or more gallons of water, 
 are injurious in their action, causing 
 the loss of much of the foliage. 
 
 By the addition of a little lime to the 
 mixture, London purple and Paris green 
 may be safely applied at the rate of 1 
 pound to 125 to 150 gallons of water 
 to the peach of the tenderest foliage, 
 or in much greater strength to strong 
 foliage, such as that of the aople cr 
 most shade trees. 
 
 Whenever, therefore, the application 
 is made to tender foliage, or when the 
 treating with a strong mixture is de- 
 sirable, lime water, (milky, but not 
 heavy enough to close the nozzle) 
 should be added at the rate of about 
 2 gallons to 100 gallons of the poison. 
 
 Pure arsenic, however, should never 
 be used with lime, as the latter in- 
 creases its action. 
 
1128 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Other arsenicals that may be used 
 are arsenite of lime, arsenate of lead, 
 and copper arsenite. The latter may 
 be used in place of Paris green as it is 
 the pure arsenite whereas Paris green 
 is an indefinite mixture of acetate and 
 arsenite of copper. 
 
 Arsenite of lime may be prepared ac- 
 cording to Kedzie's formula : 
 
 White arsenic av.lb. I 
 
 Sal soda, crystal av.lb. 4 
 
 Water gall. 1 
 
 Boil the arsen. and soda in the water 
 for 20 minutes or until dissolved. Add 
 enoueh water to make up for the loss 
 by evaporation. This stock mixture will 
 keep indefinitely. For ordinary spray- 
 ing operations, add 1 pint of this mix- 
 ture to 40 p-allons of water in which 
 has been previously mixed about 3 
 pounds of freshly slaked lime. The 
 soda is used to hasten the process and 
 to insure the combination of all the 
 arsenic with the lime. 
 
 Arsenate of lead is prepared by com- 
 bining approximately 3 parts of crys- 
 tallized sodium arsenate with 7 parts 
 of crystallized lead acetate in water. 
 It may be used in strength of 3 to 15 
 pounds (meaning the combined weights 
 of the two chemicals) to 100 gallons 
 of water without injury to the foliage 
 and in this respect is much safer on 
 delicate plants than any other arsenical. 
 White Hellebore as an Insecticide. 
 
 Powdered white hellebore (Veratrum 
 album) is often recommended and used 
 as an insecticide, particularly as a sub- 
 stitute for arsenicals. This substance 
 is useful when a few olants only are 
 to be sprayed, as in yards or small gar- 
 dens but it is too expensive for large 
 operations. It kills insects in the same 
 way as the arsenicals, as an internal 
 poison, and is less dangerous to man 
 and the higher animals, but if sufficient 
 be taken it will cause death. It is 
 particularly effective against the larvse 
 of sawflies, such as the cherry slug, 
 rose slug, currant worms, and straw- 
 berry worms. It may be applied as a 
 
 dry powder, preferably diluted with 
 from 5 to 10 parts of flour and dusted 
 on the plants through a muslin cloth or 
 with a powder bellows. The application 
 should be made in the morning when 
 the plants are moist with dew. Used 
 as a wet application, it should be mixed 
 with water in the proportion of one 
 ounce to the gallon of water and ap- 
 plied as a spray.

 IODOFORM, Removing Odor of. 
 
 Various methods of removing the 
 odor of iodoform from hands, mortars, 
 etc., are recommended. To remove from 
 a mortar wash the latter with soap 
 and water, dry it, and then burn some 
 alcohol in it. 
 
 Another method recommended is to 
 rub out the vessel with sawdust, wash 
 it with hot water and soap, then rub 
 out with linseed meal, and finall" re- 
 move the linseed with water. 
 
 Still another method recommended 
 for removing the odor from the hands 
 utensils, etc., is to rub with a small 
 ouantit- of tannic acid, then wash in 
 the usual manner. 
 IVORY, Bleaching of. 
 
 A prominent manufacturing firm rec- 
 ommends the following two methods 
 for bleaching ivory : 
 
 I. Wash the ivory with a 3% solu- 
 tion of sodium perborate, then wipe off 
 with lemon juice or solution of citric 
 acid. 
 
 II. Wash the ivory alternately with 
 a 2% solution of sodium perborate and 
 a 1% solution of oxalic acid, allowing 
 the ivory to remain in each solution 
 about half an hour> Repeat the process 
 a number of times, then rinse with 
 water and wipe dry. 
 
 It may be necessary, after bleaching 
 the ivory, to repolish it. This may be 
 done by applying any white polishing 
 paste with a woolen cloth, washiner with 
 castile soap, drying, and then rubbing 
 with a chamois skin. 
 IVORY, To Color. 
 
 See Horn and Ivory, to Color Black, 
 also the following: 
 
 I. Black: 
 
 Boil first in a decoction of logwood 
 and immerse for a short time in a solu- 
 tion of iron sulfate. Or wash in an al- 
 kaline solution such as ammonia water, 
 then steep in a neutral solution of 
 silver nitrate, and expose to the light. 
 
 II. Blue: 
 
 Steep in a solution of soluble blue. 
 
 III. Green : 
 
 Steep in a solution of verdigris in di- 
 luted acetic acid. 
 
 IV. Purple: 
 
 Boil the ivory in a decoction of log- 
 wood, then for every pint of decoction 
 add Y-2 av. ounce of alum, and boil in 
 this mixture. 
 
 V. Red: 
 
 Dip the ivory in a weak solution of 
 nitric acid and then place in solution 
 of carmine or cochineal coloring N. F. 
 Or, boil the ivory with 3 av. ounces of 
 Brazil wood and 2 pints of water, then 
 add 1 av. ounce of alum, and boil once 
 more. 
 
 VI. Yellow: 
 
 Steep for some hours in a solution of 
 led acetate, then dry, and put into a 
 solution of potassium bichromate. Or 
 boil for one hour in a solution made 
 of 2 av. ounces of alum in 1 pint of 
 water, then steep in a decoction of 4 
 av. ounces of turmeric in 1 pint of 
 water; lastly mix the two solutions and 
 boil therein for one hour.

 JEWELER'S ROUGE. (Colcothar— 
 Crocus Martis.) 
 
 This is usually prepared by heating 
 ferrous sulfate to a high temperature, 
 but a simpler method is this : 
 
 Make a tolerably strong solution of 
 ferrous sulfate, also one of oxalic acid, 
 filter each; add the former to the lat- 
 ter, with constant stirring, let stand a 
 few hours, collect the precipitate, wash 
 it thoroughly with water, dry, and ex- 
 pose to the direct flame until there is 
 no further change of color. 
 KEROSENE, To Mask Odor of. 
 
 The odor of kerosene may be re- 
 moved by purifying in the same as ben- 
 zin is purified in the U. S. P. process. 
 To disguise or mask various strong- 
 smelling substances are recommended 
 but the best is said to be 1% of amyl 
 acetate. This is said to make an aro- 
 matic liquid which burns with a bright, 
 clear light. 
 
 KNIFE HANDLES, To Fasten. 
 
 When the handle of a case knife, 
 spatula or other article of this kind gets 
 loose, it may be made tight again by the 
 following process : Melt together 12 
 parts of rosin and 3 of sulfur and stir 
 in 5 parts of iron filings; pour the 
 mixture while hot into the cavity, insert 
 the tang, and let cool slowly. The tang 
 should be heated slightly as it insures 
 a firmer joint with the molten mass. 
 
 The following cement is also recom- 
 mended :

 These are solutions of resinous sub-

 or denatured alcohol may be used in- 
 stead. They are used generally as pro- 
 tective coatings for metals to prevent

 Lacquers for Brass. 
 
 Before applying any lacquer to brass, 
 it must be well cleaned. This may 
 be done by immersing in a bath of 
 strong solution of caustic potash or 
 lye, followed, after rinsing, by a bath 
 .of dilute nitric acid. Then rinse with 
 water, rub dry, and then place on a 
 hot iron plate or on top of the stove, 
 until warm. Then apply the lacquer 
 with a soft brush (camel's hair or 
 sable), making all the strokes in one 
 direction. Some practice is necessary 
 in order to obtain a nice, even coating.

 cerin, and add gradually to the eggs, 
 using the beater constantly. Transfer 
 to a bottle, and add the alcohol diluted 
 with its own volume of water, adding 
 this gradually, shaking frequently mean- 
 while. Finally add the remainder of the 
 water. 
 
 A dram of birch-tar may be added 
 to this to give it a Russia-leather odor. 
 The directions for use are to pour 
 about a teaspoonful of the polish upon 
 the chair-leather, and rub it gently over 
 with a soft cotton rag until it is dry. 
 A few minutes later polish gently with 
 a clean rag. 
 
 Leather backs of chairs should be 
 reserved until the seats are polished ; 
 then use the wet rag, sprinkling a little 
 of the polish upon it, and finish off with 
 the dry rag. 
 
 This polish keeps the leather soft and 
 preserves it. It should be used about 
 once a week. It is advisable not to 
 color it, because leathers differ so great- 
 ly in color. For green leather the frayed 
 parts should be touched up with, green 
 ink before using the polish: for brown 
 
 leathers a solution of Bismarck brown 
 or liquid annatto may be used; and 
 for crimson leathers red ink is best. 
 The dye-tones are subdued by the pol- 
 ish.

 LEECHES, Keeping of. 
 
 As soon as the leeches arrive from 
 the dealer, they should be at once re- 
 moved from the box and washed thor- 
 oughly in soft water which should be 
 above 15 C. The first washing re- 
 jected, they should then be placed in 
 a jar half-filled with water at about the 
 same temperature, with a piece of clean 
 muslin tied over the mouth of the jar 
 and covered with a perforated lid. Care 
 must be taken that the water replaced 
 be no colder than the water thrown 
 away. The jar should be well cleansed 
 once or twice a week in winter and 
 about every other day in summer, this 
 preventing the accumulation of any for- 
 eign matter along the sides of the jar, 
 and the leeches taken out and gently 
 rubbed between the fingers or between 
 the folds of a soft cloth to free their 
 bodies of the mucous or slum sub- 
 stance which envelopes them. Guard 
 also against the access of acrid vapors 
 which may come in contact with the 
 jar, such as ammonia gas and the va- 
 por of mineral acids which by their 
 density find a ready means of access 
 through the perforated lid to become 
 absorbed by the water in the jar. 
 
 A good authority gives the following 
 information: Leeches secrete a large 
 amount of mucous which absolutely re- 
 quires to be removed and it is for this 
 purpose that gravel should be placed 
 in the leech jar. This mucous decom- 
 poses, giving rise to ammonia and other 
 noxious products so that the water 
 must be changed frequently. The sides 
 of the jar must be kept free from slime 
 by scouring. As a rule, a diseased leech 
 will infect its companions so that as 
 soon as it is observed it should be re- 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1133 
 
 moved to a jar by itself and the orig- 
 inal jar cleansed and disinfected by- 
 rinsing with potassium permanganate 
 solution. 
 
 Leeches must be kept at an even tem- 
 perature ranging between 10 and 20 C. ; 
 fresh water when added should be of 
 the same temperature ; air should have 
 free access ; but light should be ex- 
 cluded. Vapors of ammonia, acids and 
 benzin are injurious to leeches.

 LINOLEUM, Cleaning and Polishing. 
 To give a clean, bright appearance 
 to a linoleum floor, wash it well with 
 warm soapsuds and rinse with clear, 
 warm water until perfectly clean. As 
 soon as the surface is dry apply a coat- 
 ing of equal parts of raw linseed oil 
 and turpentine, using a wide paint brush 
 for the application. It will be found 
 best to apply the mixture of oil and 
 turpentine at night, so as to allow the 
 oil to penetrate to some extent. In the 
 morning any surplus oil may be wiped 
 off with old rags. The linoleum should 
 be treated in this way about once a 
 month. The floor should be swept with 
 a soft floor brush, which is preferable 
 to a broom, which is apt to scratch the 
 surface of the linoleum and is, besides, 
 less efficient for removing fine dust. 
 The linoleum should be washed at least 
 once a day with a lar°-e sponge clamped 
 on a mop stick. Thus treated a lino- 
 leum floor surface will always look well 
 and wear more durably. 
 
 The following is recommended as a 
 polish for linoleum : 
 
 Yellow wax av.oz. I 
 
 Carnauba wax av.oz. 2

 LINSEED, To Keep Free from Bugs. 
 
 To keep flaxseed free from bugs it 
 has been advised to use as a container 
 of a tin can (which may be obtained of 
 anv size up to about 100 lb. capacity) 
 with a closely-fitting cover, and at the 
 bottom of the can placing a small vial 
 of chloroform with a loosely-fitting 
 cover. Then pour in the linseed, whole 
 or ground, into the can, covering the 
 vial. Enough of the chloroform will 
 escape from the bottle to kill what- 
 ever insects infest the flaxseed.

 MATHEMATICS. 
 
 To calculate the area of a circle, 
 square the diameter, and multiply by 
 0.7854 (or n-14) ; or multiply the diam- 
 eter by the circumference, and divide 
 by 4. 
 
 To estimate the capacity of a can or 
 any vessel with straight sides (of the 
 same diameter throughout), multiply 
 the diameter by 0.7S54, and this result 
 by the height or depth of the can. 
 
 Where the vessel is larger at one end 
 than at the other, and the sides are 
 straight, add the ends together and 
 
1134 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 divide by 2 to get the mean diameter, 
 and proceed as before. 
 
 To measure the cubic contents of a 
 barrel or keg with curved staves, add 
 the diameter at the bung and that of the 
 head (both measured from the inner 
 rim of the staves) together; divide by 
 2 to get the mean diameter; multiply 
 as before by 0.7854, and finally multi- 
 ply by the length of the stave, taken 
 from the inside of the heads. This lat- 
 ter process is not absolutely mathe- 
 matically correct, but is so close as to 
 answer for all practical purposes.

 MILDEW SPOTS, To Remove. 
 
 Mildew spots on white goods may 
 in most cases be removed by a bleach- 
 ing process. This may be done in a 
 variety of ways, depending, to some ex- 
 tent, upon the nature and texture of the 
 fabric. The latter should be thoroughly 
 washed, and, while still damp, may be 
 immersed, or touched over, with dilute 
 Javelle water or solution of chlorinated 
 soda or with hydrogen peroxid solu- 
 tion. Dilute bromin water may also be 
 used. Sometimes a treatment similar 
 to that used for removing ink stains 
 is successful, treating the stains with 
 a very concentrated solution of oxalic 
 or citric acids, or both. In most cases 
 it is of advantage to expose the fabric 
 in a damp state, to the rays of the sun.

 Mirrors may be given a frosted effect 
 by applying a coating of a solution of 
 Epsom salt. Water may be used as a 
 solvent but stale beer or ale possess 
 adhesive properties which make it bet- 
 ter for this purpose. The liquid is to be 
 applied with a small, clean sponge, and 
 allowed to dry. The liquid may be tint- 
 ed if desired with whiting, carmine, 
 Prussian blue, or other suitable sub- 
 stance.

 moisture, pressed strongly against the 
 objects to be copied. 
 
 The same can be produced by the use 
 of gelatin or glue, which has been dis- 
 solved in sufficient hot water and pass- 
 ed over the object previously oiled. 
 
 MOLD IN CELLARS, To Prevent. 
 
 For this purpose the cellar walls 
 should be often coated with whitewash. 
 The surfaces of the casks may be paint- 
 ed with borax solution; for cask fauc- 
 ets, buckets and funnels, impregnation 
 Outside with hot paraffin and washing 
 inside with formaldehyde solution are 
 useful. The latter may also be used in 
 place of sulfuring. For cask stands, 
 cellar steps and doors, employ impreg- 
 nation with copperas or bluestone solu- 
 tion. Formaldehyde in the proportion 
 of 1 part of formaldehyde to 40 parts 
 of water is an excellent washing and 
 cleansing medium. 
 
 MOSQUITO EXTERMINATORS. 
 
 Mosquitoes are bred in pools of stag- 
 nant water, consequently the best means 
 of preventing their propagation is by- 
 keeping pools, marshes and other low 
 places well drained. In case this is not 
 possible the next best plan is to throw 
 kerosene on the stagnant pools, which 
 should be done about every 2 weeks. 
 Another substance which destroys mos- 
 quito larvae is potassium permanganate. 
 
 The Daily Telegraph of London in- 
 vited its readers, a few years ago, to 
 send in the names of substances which 
 in their experience had proven service- 
 able as mosquito repellants. The fol- 
 lowing were among the substances rec- 
 ommended : 
 
 Eucalyptol on the skin, with a hand- 
 kerchief saturated with it placed on the 
 pillow at night — the result of South Af- 
 rican experience. 
 
 Carbolated vaseline. 
 
 One drop of oil of lavender on the 
 pillow and one on the head at night. 
 
 Tincture of Ledum palustre. 
 
 Piece of absorbent cotton soaked in 
 oil of clove on each side of the bed 
 curtains. 
 
 Anoint the skin with a mixture of 1 
 part of camphor and 3 of paraffin. 
 
 Oil of eucalyptus. 
 
 Oil of eucalyptus and creosote, each 
 5 drops, mixed with an ounce of glyc- 
 erin. 
 
 Mosquito Pastilles. 
 
 To drive mosquitoes from a room, 
 various articles, such as camphor gum 
 or insect powder, are sometimes burned. 
 Good, salable articles for this purpose 
 may be made in the form of pastilles, 
 such as the following: 
 
 I. 
 
 Carbolic acid fl.oz. 1 
 
 Potassium nitrate, powder, .av.oz. 1^2 
 
 Insect powder av.oz. 3 
 
 Charcoal, powder av.oz. 6

 canth and water and mold into pas- 
 tilles weighing about 2 drams each.

 MOTH DESTROYERS AND PRE- 
 VENTIVES. 
 
 Camphor and naphthalin, the latter 
 usually in the form of "moth balls," 
 have been relied upon mostly as preven- 
 tives against the ravages of moths. As 
 is probably known to nearly everyone, 
 it is not the moth itself that does the 
 harm but its larva, which feeds on and 
 burrows in clothing, especially such as 
 is composed of animal tissue, wool, 
 feathers, fur, etc. Whether or not these 
 substances actually have any deterrent 
 effect upon the moth or its larva is 
 very problematical. Camphor cannot be 
 used abundantly enough on account of 
 its present high price, while naphthalin, 
 though cheap enough, is objectionable 
 to many persons on account of its odor, 
 which clings too persistently to clothing 
 that has been preserved with it. Nu- 
 merous other expedients have been 
 adopted to avoid, or at least mitigate, 
 the ravages of moths. Wrapping the 
 goods in tarred paper or paper treated 
 with naphthalin has been tried. Cotton 
 cloth, not being attacked by these in- 
 sects, has been suggested for wrapping 
 up the more expensive woolen and fur 
 clothing while the latter is not in use 
 during the summer months. Cedarwood 
 chests are also used for storing away 
 clothing to prevent the attack of moths. 
 The most approved method of storing 
 clothing to save them from moths is 
 cold storage. This method is entirely 
 successful, as moths do not breed or 
 hatch at a temperature below 40 F. 
 
 In case none of these methods can be 
 followed, the clothing, upholstered fur- 
 
 niture and other articles attacked by 
 moths or liable to attack should, at 
 frequent intervals, be taken out and ex- 
 posed to the light, strong sunlight if 
 possible, and be well beaten with a 
 stick. Both light and beating are inim- 
 ical to the insects, the beating dislodg- 
 ing the larva from their nests. To com- 
 plete the work of destruction, the in- 
 fested articles should be thoroughly 
 drenched with gasoline or benzine, 
 which absolutely destroys all the re- 
 maining larva. 
 
 Moths in sofas and other forms of 
 furniture may be exterminated by in- 
 jecting full-strength formaldehyde into 
 the crevices. It is said the entire col- 
 ony may be exterminated in a few 
 weeks. The furniture may be used 24 
 hours after treatment. This should be 
 done in the open air, owing to the high- 
 ly irritant nature of the formaldehyde. 
 
 These moths, known also as the 
 clothes moths, should not be confused 
 with what are known as buffalo moths 
 or carpet beetles, which are described 
 under the heading Buffalo Moths. 
 
 Other preparations which are used as 
 moth preventives and destroyers are the 
 following : 
 
 Naphthalin Compounds. 
 
 Naphthalin is a favorite as a moth 
 preventive but is objectionable on ac- 
 count of its odor. Various expedients 
 have been resorted to as shown in these 
 formulas to overcome the odor. Sev- 
 eral other preparations containing naph- 
 thalin are mentioned under "moth pow- 
 ders," "moth species," etc.

 Reduce the solids to powder, mix 
 well, spread out on a sheet of paper and 
 sprinkle the oil evenly over the whole. 
 Then mix again and pass through a 
 fine sieve. It should be put in a tight 
 package, preferably the usual insect 
 powder cans. The "filler" is usually 
 bran, sawdust, corn meal, etc. If de- 
 sired, perfume can be added to this 
 powder, oil of cedarwood being very 
 appropriate, and also adding materially 
 to its efficacy.

 MUCILAGES AND PASTES. 
 
 See also under heading Pastes. 
 
 I. What is a satisfactory adhesive 
 and was the first mucilage used is muci- 
 lage of acacia, which may be made sat- 
 isfactorily according to the U. S. P. 
 process. A preventive must be added 
 such as oil of clove or wintergreen or 
 other suitable antiseptic. 
 
1138 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 On account of the expensiveness of 
 gum arabic, mucilages are made with 
 numberless other substances as may be 
 observed in the succeeding formulas. 
 Gum ghatti may also replace the gum 
 arabic. 
 
 II. Dextrin, being cheap and pos- 
 sessing strongly adhesive properties, is 
 largely employed for making a muci- 
 lage, yellow dextrin being the kind 
 mostly used.

 Water fl.oz. 8 
 
 Heat the water, add the dextrin grad- 
 ually with constant stirring, and con- 
 tinue the heat utnil the dextrin is dis- 
 solved. One fluidounce of acetic acid 
 may be added to the water before heat- 
 ing, and to the solution may be added 
 the same amount of alcohol to insure 
 preservation. However, neither one is 
 necessary if carbolic acid or an essen- 
 tial oil, like oil of clove or wintegreen 
 be added. This mucilage may be thin- 
 ned when it becomes thickened by ex- 
 posure, by dilution with water. A small 
 amount of glycerin added to the muci- 
 lage will prevent curling of the paper.

 and 16 fluidounces of boiling water, all 
 at once, and stir the whole until smooth. 
 Then heat over a hot fire to break up 
 the starch globules which will be indi- 
 cated by the bluish tint on top, stirring 
 thoroughly meanwhile to prevent scorch- 
 ing. Be careful not to heat too long. 
 Allow to cool and incorporate the oil. 
 Transfer to a covered jar and when 
 wanted for use reduce with boiling wa- 
 ter, about 1 part of paste to 2 of water, 
 adding the water slowly and in a boiling 
 condition and beating the mixture till 
 smooth.

 gree to which it is to be cooked will de- 
 pend on the purpose to which it is to be 
 put. If intended for bottling, cook just 
 enough to thicken but not so heavy that 
 it cannot be poured. But if it is to be 
 stored, the heat should be continued un- 
 til the paste takes on a bluish tint and 
 becomes stiff and almost dry. Great 
 care must be taken to prevent scorching 
 or burning. When cooked in this way, 
 it may, when cold, be cut in chunks and 
 carried about in paper. When required 
 for use it is to be thinned with water. 
 If the heat be still further continued 
 cautiously until all the water is driven 
 off, the paste can be reduced to powder, 
 which will keep indefinitely and is ready 
 for use at any time by adding water. 
 
 This paste may be used by paperhang- 
 ers. If the salicylic acid be replaced by 
 2 drams of caustic soda, the product 
 will serve for applying labels to tin.

 MUCILAGE, Stick or Bar. (Mucilage 
 Pencil.) 
 Mucilage, in the form of sticks, is 
 much used in architectural and mechan- 
 ical drawing for attaching the drawing 
 paper to a board, and is generally spok- 
 en of as mouth or lip glue. In making 
 such a glue, only a very pure form of 
 gelatin or glue should be used, as the 
 least taste, would prove disgusting when 
 the glue is moistened with the lips. Su- 
 gar is generally added, not for the pur- 
 pose of sweetening the glue, but in or- 
 der to render it more easily soluble 
 when it is to be used. This probably 
 72 
 
 is brought about by the sugar prevent- 
 ing the glue from becoming too dry and 
 hard. Some even use a good quality of 
 glue without any admixture whatever, 
 but this requires more rubbing when it 
 is applied, although it holds better than 
 that to which sugar has been added. 
 The sugar may be replaced by glycerin.

 PAINT, LUMINOUS. 
 
 The process of making luminous paint 
 depends on the prone, ty, possessed by 
 certain substances, of absorbing light 
 during exposure to sunshine or other 
 very powerful sources of light, and giv- 
 ing it off again in the darkness, a prop- 
 erty which is sometimes, though incor- 
 rectly, called "phosphorescence." The 
 list of substances possessing this prop- 
 erty in a greater or less degree is a 
 long one, and among them the earthy 
 sulfates and sulfids stand preeminent. 
 Numerous processes have been devised 
 for the utilization of this property, many 
 of them covered by patents. One of 
 the first of these was Balmain's process, 
 which consists of a luminiferous sub- 
 stance introduced into ordinary paints. 
 This substance is prepared by heating 
 together certain mixtures of lime and 
 sulfur, and the production of calcium 
 monosulfid. Another French patent 
 rests on the calcination of sea-shells 
 (such as those of the oyster, clam, and 
 other bivalves, cuttlefish bone, etc.) in 
 the presence of sulfur, and the addition 
 to the product of various monosulfids 
 (i. e., calcium, barium, strontium, ura- 
 nium, magnesium, aluminum, etc.). 
 
 The following is a practical method 
 of procedure: Clean a quantity of oy- 
 ster or mussel shells by washing them in 
 warm suds, rinse in running water, then 
 put them in an open fire and beat them 
 for 30 to 35 minutes, then remove and 
 let cool. When cold, pound them up 
 and remove carefully all grey portions, 
 as they are of no use. Put the remain- 
 ing portion in a crucible, making a thin 
 
 layer of the burnt shell, and putting on 
 top of it a layer of sulfur, and thus al- 
 ternating until the crucible is nearly 
 full. Screw on the lid and lute to place 
 tightly with a paste' of sand mixed with 
 beer. When this is thoroughly dry put 
 the crucible in a hot fire and heat for 
 an hour. Withdraw the heat, let the 
 crucible cool down spontaneously and 
 when quite cold, remove the top. If the 
 operation has been properly conducted 
 the contents will be a white powder. 
 All grey bits that are still found should 
 be removed, as they only serve to weak- 
 en the luminosity of the product. Now, 
 sift the powder through a muslin sieve, 
 raking it until only a few coarse bits 
 remain. The sifted powder is mixed 
 with gum water and applied in a thin 
 layer to a cardboard, or other surface. 
 When dry another thin layer, let dry and 
 expose to strong sunlight for several 
 hours. The surface will acquire a 
 strong luminosity which, when fresh, 
 will last all night. 
 Another process is the following: 
 
 Calcined oyster shells or cut- 
 tlefish bone , . . . .parts 4 
 
 Caustic lime parts 4 
 
 Calcined sodium chlorid parti. 
 
 Mix and thoroughly incorporate from 
 20 to 25% of sulfur and from 3 to 7% 
 of calcium, barium, strontium or mag- 
 nesium sulfid. The luminosity may be 
 increased by adding incinerated marine 
 algae. The powder is rendered adhe- 
 sive by means of varnish (alcoholic 
 copal, etc.), collodion, mucilage, etc. 
 
 Still another process for luminous 
 calcium sulfid is this : 
 
 Boil for 1 hour 2% ounces caustic 
 lime, recently prepared by calcining- 
 clean white shells at a strong red heat, 
 with I ounce sulfur and 1 quart soft 
 water. Set aside in a covered vessel 
 for a few days; then pour off the li- 
 quid, collect the clear, orange-colored 
 crystals which have deposited, and let 
 them drain and dry on bibulous paper. 
 Place the dried sulfid in a clean gra- 
 phite crucible provided with a cover. 
 
1142 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 Heat for V2 hour at a temperature just 
 short of redness, then quickly for about 
 5 f teen minutes at a white heat. Remove 
 cover, and pack in clay until perfectly 
 cold. A small quantity of pure calcium 
 fluorid is added to the sulfid before 
 heating it.

 it aside in a moist place, preferably a 
 cellar, then apply B, and put away again 
 for 24 hours. Finally iron with a flat- 
 iron, which should not be too hot. 
 
 Sodium hyposulfite may be used in 
 place of the sulfite. 
 
 See also Straw Hat Cleaners for 
 other preparations to clean Panama 
 hats. 
 
 Sodium perborate has been recom- 
 mended lately for cleaning Panama 
 hats. The steps in the process are: (1) 
 Brush the hat in a solution of Castile 
 soap in warm water to remove any su- 
 perficial dirt, rinse, and (2) dip for 5 
 minutes in a solution of hydrochloric 
 acid in water containing l / 2 ounce of 
 acid to the gallon; (3) transfer to a 
 bath of sodium perborate — 2 ounces to 
 the gallon of lukewarm water — and al- 
 low to remain over night ; (4) rinse out 
 in a solution of oxalic acid of the 
 strength of Yz ounce to a gallon of wa- 
 ter; (5) dry in sunshine or expose to 
 the fumes of burning sulfur in a dry 
 room.

 PAPER, CARBOLIZED. 
 
 Carbolized paper, suitable for the 
 preservation of furs, etc., from moths, 
 can be readily prepared by applying a 
 strong solution of carbolic acid, with a 
 brush or sponge to any unsized paper. 
 A heavy paper will absorb more, and 
 consequently last longer. The paper 
 should be kept in close boxes until 
 wanted, and the consumer directed to 
 place the sheets freely among the arti- 
 cles to be protected, and wrap them 
 tightly in ordinary paper. 
 
 Carbolic paper may also be prepared 
 as follows :

 way is to melt 8 av. ounces of paraffin, 
 remove from the fire, add 16 fluidounces 
 of benzin; draw the paper through this, 
 and then dry. 
 PAPER, Parchment, for Bottles. 
 
 The transparent paper used by manu- 
 facturers for "finishing off" pharmaceu- 
 tical preparations is the kind known as 
 "parchment," though of course it is not 
 the real parchment, which is very rare 
 and expensive. In wrapping the bot- 
 tle, use paper of the proper size, apply 
 flour or other white paste to the edges, 
 roll the paper neatly around the bot- 
 tle, wet the top portion of the paper 
 by dipping in water, allow the excess 
 of water to drain off, then fold the 
 paper over and press it upon the bottle. 
 The paste applied to the edges secures 
 the back seam.

 Heat the water to 160 F., then turn 
 off the heat, add the dextrin and stir 
 until dissolved. When cool, add the oils 
 and stir well. Then pour into bottles, 
 cork and put away in a cool place. After 
 2 to 4 weeks the mixture will alter or 
 "ripen" so that a creamy paste is ob- 
 tained. If the bottles are put into a

 PASTE in Powder Form. 
 A patent was granted some years ago 
 
 for a paste consisting of flour, starch, 
 or other farinaceous substance, with an 
 alkali, preferably caustic soda or pot- 
 ash, or other strongly alkaline sub- 
 stance. If the flour be mixed with any 
 of these substances in the form of pow- 
 der in the proper proportions they form 
 a compound which, when mixed with 
 water, will soon assume the consistence 
 of a paste, and will become soluble in 
 water. The actiorr of the alkali on the 
 flour bursts the starch cells and digests 
 or dissolves it, increasing its bulk and 
 reducing it to a paste, which may be 
 thinned by the addition of water or 
 thickened by the addition of more of 
 the alkali and flour. These compounds 
 are sold as powders, to be mixed with 
 water by the user. 
 
 The following formula has been 
 given : 
 
 Flour parts 21 
 
 Caustic soda in powder. .. .parts 2 
 
 In place of the caustic soda, pulver- 
 ized caustic potash may be used. Other 
 forms of alkali — such as strong soda 
 ash — may also be used, but the quantity 
 must be considerably increased until 
 sufficient to digest the flour. 
 
 A formula said to answer better for 
 all purposes is the following modifica- 
 tion of the above : 
 
 Flour, starch or other farin- 
 aceous substance parts 21 
 
 Caustic soda (or potash), in 
 powder parts 2 
 
 Ammonium sulfate parts 2 
 
 When using this, add water. 
 
 The ammonium sulfate is used as a 
 neutralizing agent and counteracts the 
 strong effects of caustic soda on col- 
 ored or tinted papers. 
 PASTE to Stick Labels on Tin. 
 
 Many expedients have been offered to 
 enable paper labels to adhere to tin con- 
 tainers. A simple plan is to roughen 
 the surface of the tin by rubbing with a 
 piece of sand or emery paper, then ap- 
 plying the label in the usual manner. 
 Or apply to the surface of the tin a 
 slight coating of a resinous tincture, 
 such as tincture of benzoin or myrrh, 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1145 
 
 allowing the tin to dry and then apply- 
 ing the label as before. Or rub the tin 
 with hydrochloric acid or with tincture 
 of iron and then applying the label as 
 before. 
 
 If solution of silicate of sodium be 
 used instead of mucilage or paste, the 
 label will adhere indefinitely, but this 
 preparation has some disadvantages, 
 such as its strong alkalinity and the dif- 
 ficulty of applying it satisfactorily. 
 
 It is also said that labels peel off 
 from the tin surface because of the dry- 
 big of the paste and that if some ingre- 
 dient were present in the paste which 
 would cause it to remain permanently 
 moist, this peeling off would not occur. 
 Such substances are glycerin and cal- 
 cium chlorid. Another substance which 
 has been suggested as a good addition 
 to ordinary paste to make it adhere to 
 tin is solution of antimony chlorid. 
 
 Preparation No. VII under the head- 
 ing Mucilages and Pastes is excellent 
 for applying labels to tin.

 PESTLE HANDLES, To Cement. 
 
 The handles of wedgewood pestles 
 are usually inserted with glue, which 
 soon comes loose. When the handle 
 does come loose, it may be reinserted in 
 various ways. One method is to melt 
 some orange shellac at a gentle heat, 
 pour the melted mass into the cavity, 
 then push in the handle. In a moment 
 or two, the excess of shellac which has 
 exuded will harden and may be scraped 
 off. 
 
 Equal parts of caoutchouc and shellac 
 are used in the same manner. 
 
 Another plan is to make a thick paste 
 of litharge and glycerin, using this in 
 the same manner as the melted shellac. 
 
 Instead of litharge and glycerin, a mix- 
 ture of calomel and mucilage of acacia 
 may be used. 
 
 Before attempting to use any of these 
 substances, the cavity of the pestle and 
 the end of the pestle handle should be 
 freed from glue as much as possible.

 PHARAOH'S SERPENTS. 
 
 This curious chemical toy, also known 
 as "eggs of Pharaoh's serpents," is pre- 
 pared as follows: 
 
 Dissolve mercury in diluted nitric 
 acid, being careful that there shall be an 
 excess of mercury present. When the 
 action of the acid has ceased decant the 
 solution, and pour it into a solution of 
 ammonium or potassium sulfocyanid. 
 A precipitate of mercury sulphocyanid 
 is formed which should be washed, col- 
 lected, and dried. Then for every pound 
 of this substance, take one ounce of 
 gum tragacanth, soak it in water to 
 soften thoroughly, transfer it to a mor- 
 tar, add the dried precipitate, and make 
 the whole into a paste by the addition 
 of sufficient water. The mass is then 
 pressed into molds of conical shape and 
 dried. When these are ignited by the 
 application of a match at the conical 
 end they form an enormous volume of 
 ash which proceeds in great coils from 
 the body of the mass, and which by its 
 serpentine movements as it is formed, 
 has suggested the name. 
 
 This substance is not altogether free 
 from danger- in its use because mercu- 
 rial fumes are formed during combus- 
 tion of the mass. On this account sev- 
 eral substitutes have been suggested. One 
 of these which is almost as good as the 
 original and which is not poisonous is 
 prepared as follows: 
 
 Potassium bichromate av.oz. 2 
 
 Potassium nitrate av.oz. 1 
 
 Sugar av.oz. 3 
 
 Pulverize each of the ingredients sep- 
 arately, and then mix them thoroughly. 
 Make small paper cones of the desired

 size and press the mixture into them. 
 
 When quite dry they are ready for use. 
 
 They should be kept from moisture and 
 
 light. 
 
 PHOSPHORUS PASTES. 
 
 These are used mainly for the exter- 
 mination of rats and roaches, but are 
 equally effective against mice, water 
 bugs, and other vermin. 
 
 The phosphorus is either melted in 
 warm water, liquefied with sulfur, or 
 dissolved in carbon disulfid, then mixed 
 with a fatty substance like lard, suet, or 
 oil, and finally with a floury substance 
 to give the requisite consistency. Ow- 
 ing to the ready combustibility of phos- 
 phorus, great care must be exercised in 
 handling it, especially when it is melted 
 in water by the aid of heat. 
 
 Sometimes these pastes decompose 
 ("sour") easily, especially if they con- 
 tain any saccharine substance like mo- 
 lasses. 
 
 In using these pastes, they are smear- 
 ed into all crevices and corners to com- 
 bat roaches ; for rats they are spread on 
 thin slices of bread and cheese which 
 are then cut up into small pieces and 
 strewed about in appropriate places. 
 I. Rother's formula : 
 
 Phosphorus av.oz. I 
 
 Starch av.oz. 4 
 
 Flour av.oz. 12 
 
 Glycerin fl.oz. 12 
 
 Water . . . . fl.oz. 24 
 
 Make a smooth mixture of the starch, 
 flour, glycerin and 20 fluidounces of 
 water, straining through a No. 60 sieve 
 if necessary, transfer to an enameled- 
 irori evaporating dish, and apply heat, 
 best by means of a sand-bath, until a 
 plasma begins to form, stirring or beat- 
 ing meanwhile with a pestle or paddle ; 
 then take the vessel from the fire and 
 stir as before while the plasma forms, 
 so as to evenly divide it. After a few 
 minutes reapply heat, stirring briskly 
 until the plasma has completely formed, 
 then set aside to cool, stirring occa- 
 sionally. 
 
 Xow place 3 ounces of the plasma, 
 thoroughly mixed with the remaining 4 
 fluidounces of water, into a porcelain 
 measure of the capacity of one pint, 
 set this into nearly boiling hot water, 
 and when the mixture has become suf- 
 ficiently hot, drop in about I dram of 
 the phosphorus. When this has fused, 
 agitate the whole thoroughly with a 
 spatula or pestle, and incorporate the 
 remainder of the phosphorus in the 
 same manner. By this manipulation the 
 phosphorus is effectively extinguished 
 without the risk of coming in contact 
 with the air in an inflammable condi- 
 tion. After this thicken the phosphoric 
 mixture with more of the reserved 
 plasma and finally incorporate it thor- 
 oughly with the remainder of the 
 plasma.

 dough, and incorporate quickly. Finally 
 stir in the barium carbonate and trans- 
 fer to suitable bottles. The mass is lia- 
 ble to take fire while incorporating the 
 phosphorus, which should be done in 
 an open space, the hands being protect- 
 ed meanwhile by wrapping in wet cloths.

 with the liquid. The paper on which 
 the reproduction is required is laid over 
 this, and then a sheet of thicker paper 
 is placed on the top, and the whole rub- 
 bed evenly and hard with a blunt in- 
 strument, such as the bowl of a spoon, 
 until the desired depth of color in the 
 transferrer is obtained. Another and 
 more artistic process is to cover the 
 print with a transparent sheet of mate- 
 rial coated with wax, to trace out the 
 pictures with a point and to take rub- 
 bings of the same after powdering with 
 plumbago.

 PLASTER OF PARIS FORMULAS. 
 
 1. To Make Plaster Set Hard— -Mix 
 best plaster of Paris with about 10% 
 (more or less, according to effect ascer- 
 tained by preliminary experiment) of 
 very fine powdered marble (calcium 
 carbonate). Or add to it about 6% of 
 powdered alum, or about the same 
 amount of ammonium chlorid, before 
 mixing it with water. 
 
 2. To Make Plaster Set Slower.— 
 Mix it with 2 to 4% of powdered al- 
 thaea root before adding the water. This 
 not only retards the hardening of the 
 plaster, but also enables it to be cut, 
 filed, sawed and turned. 
 
 An addition of 8% of althaea powder 
 retards the complete setting of the plas- 
 ter for about one hour, so that the mass 
 can be used for any purpose where it 
 is to remain plastic during at least a 
 portion of that time. The addition of 
 fine slacked lime will also retard the 
 setting of plaster. The time of setting

 tive quantities of lime and plaster of

 PLATING WITH GOLD, SILVER, 
 TIN, ETC. 
 
 A number of processes and formulas 
 are here given, all of which are highly 
 recommended. 
 
 The deposition of one metal upon an- 
 other may be made in several ways. 
 What is now the most common and us- 
 ually most satisfactory method of de- 
 position, generally known as "plating," 
 is by means of the electric current, this 
 method being known as "electroplating." 
 Another method of deposition, which is 
 a very inferior process, is what is tech- 
 nically known as "washing." This con- 
 sists in the application of a solution of 
 a salt of a metal which is to be deposit- 
 ed by means of a cloth. The coating of 
 metal deposited is so infinitely thin that 
 it very quickly wears away, revealing 
 the inferior material beneath. 
 
 I. Gold "washing" : 
 A (liquid form). 
 
 Gold chlorid dr. I 
 
 Potassium cyanid dr. 3 
 
 Distilled water oz. 1 
 
 Precipitated chalk sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the gold chlorid in 1 fluidram 
 of water, and the potassium cyanid in 
 the remainder of the water; mix the 
 two solutions and add enough precipi- 
 tated chalk to make a thin paste. 
 
 After thoroughly cleaning the object 
 to be gilded, and freeing it from grease, 
 etc., apply this paste with a camel's-hair 
 pencil evenly over the surface, keeping 
 the liquid well stirred meanwhile. Let 
 dry slowly at ordinary temperature. 
 When dry, put in an oven and heat to 
 60 or 70 C. Wash off with clean wa- 
 ter, dry and finish by going over the 
 surface with a burnisher. 
 
 B (powder form). 
 
 Gold chlorid gr. 90 
 
 Potassium cyanid gr. 280 
 
 Potassium bitartrate gr. 24

 Mix the ingredients intimately; add 
 
 water to make a moderately thick paste ; 
 rub with a bit of flannel. The surface 
 must, of course, be thoroughly cleaned. 
 
 II. Silver "washing" (for brass only) : 
 A. 
 
 Silver nitrate av.oz. Yi 
 
 Potassium cyanid av.oz. 1 
 
 Precipitated chalk av.oz. 1 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 6 
 
 Dissolve the silver nitrate and potas- 
 sium cyanid each separately in a por- 
 tion of the water, mix the two solu- 
 tions, and add the chalk: 
 
 In iJfeing, clean the article to be coated 
 so as to free it from grease and tar- 
 nish, then rub with the liquid applied 
 on a cloth. 
 
 B.

 Dissolve the silver salt in a portion 
 of the water, the hyposulfite in the re- 
 mainder, mix the two solutions, and add 
 the ammonia and chalk. 
 
 This is to be used like the preced- 
 ing. 
 
 C. 
 
 Silver chlorid dr. 1 
 
 Cream of tartar dr. 6 l / 2 
 
 Sodium chlorid dr. 3 
 
 The powder is made into a cream 
 with water, and the article to be plated 
 is either covered with the paint by 
 means of a brush or immersed in the 
 mixture for a short time; then, after 
 being dried, it is rubbed off and the 
 article polished with prepared chalk. 
 — H. 
 
 The silver chlorid may be made by 
 precipitating a solution of silver nitrate, 
 about 1 in 20, with hydrochloric acid, 
 previously acidulating the solution with 
 nitric acid. Collect the precipitate on 
 a filter, wash it with water, and dry 
 it.

 Powder thoroughly and mix well. 
 
 To use the preparation dip a moist- 
 ened rag in it and apply it to the arti- 
 cle to be silvered, which latter should 
 be thoroughly freed from grease, etc., 
 before applying the powder. 
 
 This powder should be put up in 
 paraffin paper as otherwise it will at- 
 tract moisture from the air and be- 
 come liquid. 
 
 III. Silvering objects by dipping: 
 This is a purely chemical method, 
 the galvanic current not being used 
 for depositing the silver on the objects. 
 It is especially adapted for small ob- 
 jects made of brass and copper, such 
 as buttons, nails, wire, screws, pins 
 and needles, etc. The bath is made l.s 
 follows : 
 
 Silver nitrate gr. 100 
 
 Potassium cyanid dr. 6 
 
 Water, distilled fl.oz. iSy 2 
 
 Dissolve the salts separately in the 
 distilled water, then mix the solutions 
 and warm on a water bath to about 50 
 to 6o° C. The objects to be silvered 
 are placed in a basket, or hung from 
 a wire frame, and dipped in the warm 
 bath. If the objects are perfectly clean, 
 presenting a metallic surface, the sil- 
 ver will be deposited immediately. If 
 the metallic surface of the objects pre- 
 sents a mat surface, a mat silvering 
 results. When the surface to be sil- 
 vered shows a bright metallic surface 
 of high luster, the silvered articles come 
 out with _a polish and bright surface. 
 If the operator finds the bath gives 
 poor results, it is useless to add fresh 
 salts; the liquid must be thrown away 
 and a fresh solution has to be made. 
 This method of silvering depends on the 
 greater solubility of the copper and 
 zinc over silver, and these metals must 
 replace the silver in solution. Unfort- 
 unately, when an object is silvered by 
 this method only a very thin film of 
 metal is deposited. When a heavier 
 plating is desired, the electro-plating 
 
 method must be resorted to, but, for 
 small pins, trinkets and the like, where 
 only a thin deposit is required, this 
 method is advantageous, since so many 
 objects can be treated at one time. 
 
 IV. Nickeling : 
 
 There is no reliable method of de- 
 positing nickel from its cold solution, 
 as in the foregoing cases, but a thin 
 and adhesive coating may be given arti- 
 cles of brass, iron, etc., by the follow- 
 ing process : Boil in a copper vessel 
 a saturated solution of zinc chlorid and 
 an equal quantity of water. While boil- 
 ing add hydrochloric acid, drop by drop, 
 until the precipitate at first thrown down 
 is again completely redissolved. Now 
 add zinc in powder, until the bottom 
 of the kettle is nearly covered with a 
 precipitate of zinc. The bath is now 
 ready for the ' addition of a salt of 
 nickel, and either the sulfate or the 
 nitrate may be used. Add it in suffi- 
 cient quantity to give the bath a strong 
 green color. The articles to be nickeled 
 are now hung in the bath by means of 
 a zinc wire, or a strip of sheet zinc, 
 and a few pieces of the latter are 
 thrown in along with them. Raise the 
 heat to a strong boil and continue it 
 for several minutes, or until the arti- 
 cles are covered with a bright coating 
 of nickel. The articles should be thor- 
 oughly cleaned and freed from grease 
 before being put in the bath. When 
 finished, rinse and then rub well with 
 precipitated chalk. 
 
 V. Platinizing : 
 
 Platinum chlorid, 1 part; sodium 
 chlorid, 8 parts; distilled water, 100 
 parts. Bring to a boil, and put the 
 articles to be platinized, first thoroughly 
 cleaned, in the vessel. Keep at a mod- 
 erate temperature, and in the course 
 of 3 or 4 hours the platinizing will be 
 completed. Polish with chamois. 
 
 There is as yet no known method 
 of depositing aluminium by a process 
 similar to any of the above. 
 
 VI. Brass scale pans, or any other 
 metallic substance capable of taking a 
 
1150 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 deposit of silver may be plated in vari- 
 ous ways. Here is a method recom- 
 mended by Kayser : 
 
 It is absolutely necessary that the 
 article to be plated shall present a 
 perfect metallic surface, free from ox- 
 ids, dirt, grease, etc.; it must be thor- 
 oughly scoured, if necessary, with the 
 intervention of acids, and afterwards 
 carefully washed. It is then to be dip- 
 ped into a solution prepared by mak- 
 ing a saturated aqueous solution of bi- 
 sulfite of sodium, and adding to the lat- 
 ter so much of a solution of nitrate of 
 silver (30 parts in 100) that there are 
 6 parts of the silver salt for every 100 
 of the bisulfite.. The following would 
 be a more simple way to state the pro- 
 portions : 
 
 Sodium bisulfite av.oz. 10 
 
 Distilled water. . .enough to dissolve 
 
 Silver nitrate gr. 264 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 2 
 
 Dissolve and mix the two solutions. 
 Allow the article to remain in the 
 mixture until it is properly coated, then 
 take it out ; wash it with water in which 
 a little sodium carbonate had previ- 
 ously been dissolved ; finally wash with 
 pure water, and dry in sawdust. 
 POLISH FOR STOVES. 
 
 See Stove Polish or Blacking. 
 POLISHING CLOTHS. 
 
 The so-called polishing cloths are 
 made in different ways. The simplest 
 is to dissolve 1 ounce of oxalic acid in 
 a gallon of water, and sift into the solu- 
 tion one pound of whiting. Saturate 
 pieces of canton flannel, about 18 inches 
 in this liquid, which is to be kept well 
 stirred, wring out the cloth somewhat, 
 and allow it to dry. Then smooth out 
 the cloth, fold it, and insert in an en- 
 velope. 
 
 Another plan is to use a mixture of 
 2 parts of white castile soap, 1 part 
 of jeweler's rouge, and 20 of water. 
 Dissolve the soap in the water by the 
 aid of heat, adding water from time to 
 time if necessary; and then incorporate 
 the rouge. Impregnate pieces of woolen 
 
 cloth, which may be red, in the same 
 manner as the preceding. Instead of the 
 cloth, chamois leather may be used 
 which will prove more durable for many 
 purposes. 
 
 Sometimes two kinds of cloths are 
 used in conjunction. The first is im- 
 pregnated with a mixture of flour of 
 emery, 1 part, soap, 2 parts, and water, 
 10 parts, the second with a mixture of 
 tripoli or jeweler's rouge, 1 part, soap, 
 2 parts, and water 10 parts. The first 
 cloth is used as a scourer to remove 
 the oxidized surface while the second 
 cloth is the polisher proper. 
 POLISHING LIQUIDS. 
 
 A patent has been taken out in France 
 for a liquid polish, which, it is claimed, 
 is of wide applicability and great ex- 
 cellence, giving a high polish to varn- 
 ished or polished surfaces of almost 
 every description from floors, oil cloths, 
 linoleum furniture, etc., uo to art mar- 
 bles. The formula is as follows : 
 
 Yellow wax parts 30 
 
 Oil of lavender part 1 
 
 Ammonia water part 1 
 
 Alcohol parts 2 
 
 Benzin, deodorized parts 200 
 
 If a darker color be desired, a very 
 small quantity of aniline brown may 
 be added, dissolve in the alcohol.

 PTTTZ POMADES. 
 
 By this term are signified pasty or 
 fatty mixtures intended especially for 
 polishing copper and brass ; these mix- 
 tures may be used on steel, but should 
 never be used on silver or gold. 
 
 The fatty substance present consists 
 of a fixed oil — oleic acid, lard, petro- 
 latum, palm oil, lard oil, etc., mixed 
 with tripoli, rotten stone, emery, jew- 
 eler's rouge (also called crocus martis), 
 pumice stone, etc. ; the whole being flav- 
 ored, as a rule, with oil of mirbane 
 (nitro-benzol or artifical oil of bitter 
 
 almond). The powders must be in a 
 very finely divided condition ; it is, in 
 fact, advisable to pass the mixture of 
 fat and powder through a paint mill to 
 insure fineness and smoothness.

 RAT EXTERMINATORS. 
 
 Various substances are used for ex- 
 terminating or destroying rats and other 
 rodents. These include arsenic, strych- 
 nine, phosphorus, plaster of Paris, bar- 
 ium, squill, etc. The methods of prep- 
 aration are described below : 
 
 Arsenical Preparations. 
 These may be in the form of a pow- 
 der, paste or pellets. The arsenic need 
 not be the chemically pure arsenous 
 oxid but may be the common powdered 
 arsenic of commerce which is usually 
 known as "white arsenic." Plaster of 
 Paris is added to increase the efficacy 
 of the arsenic and to act as a diluent. 
 Sugar is sometimes added for sweet- 
 ening purposes ; flavoring oils and color- 
 ing substances are also added. 
 I. 
 
 White arsenic av.oz. 8

 Add the water to the resin, bring the 
 mixture to a boil, add the sodium car- 
 bonate and solution of soda and con- 
 tinue heating until the resin is dis- 
 solved. Now strain, and into the cola- 
 ture pass gaseous sulfurous acid until 
 the resin is precipitated, collect the lat- 
 ter, wash it with water, and dry at a 
 moderate heat. — H. modified. 
 
 REDUCING SOLUTION for Photog- 
 raphy. 
 
 I. The best formula is said to be 
 Biletzki's, made as follows:

 Dissolve the ferric salt and sodium 
 sulfite in the water, add the crystal 
 acid to the solution, and shake until the 
 latter changes in color from blood-red 
 to bright green. Decant from any un- 
 dissolved acid, and in this liquid dis- 
 solve the sodium hyposulfite. 
 
 The negative does not require free- 
 ing from hypo before applying this 
 solution. The liquid keeps well in the 
 dark, does not stain, and may be used 
 over and over again until quite yellow. 
 II. Lumiere's solution :

 ROACH EXTERMINATORS. 
 
 Roaches, also known as cockroaches, 
 are of different kinds or species but 
 their habits are practically alike and 
 the methods of destroying them are the 
 same. They are not easily exterminated 
 readily because they are a very wary 
 insect and besides breed prodigiously. 
 
 The Department of Agriculture in the 
 Division of Entomology in making its 
 studies in the readiest means for the 
 extermination of roaches observed that 
 fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas 
 proved very destructive. However, this 
 gas is so very poisonous that its use 
 is not recommended. Burning of insect 
 powder in the infested apartment is also 
 very effective, often destroying the 
 roaches when dusting about of the oow- 
 der proved of no avail. For direct ap- 
 plication, good insect powder is recom- 
 mended; sulfur also proved useful. 
 
 Other roach exterminators are the 
 following :

 Some are killed by eating the bananas 
 and others are driven out. 
 
 Pastes. 
 Many of the roach pastes are "phos- 
 phorus pastes," or so-called "electric 
 pastes." See formulas under Phos- 
 phorus Pastes. Others are made with 
 red lead or other ingredients. These 
 pastes may be distributed on papers in 
 fhe haunting places of the roaches, or 
 they may be fed into cracks or crevices 
 in which the insects hide.

 RUBBER GOODS, To Preserve. 
 
 As a result of extended investiga- 
 tions by the Russian Army Medical 
 Committee in 1893 it was determined 
 that the best medium for preserving 
 caoutchouc articles, hard or soft, is 
 a 3% carbolic acid solution, such 
 articles keeping for as long a pe- 
 riod as ten years without change. The 
 next best was a $% solution of aniline. 
 
 but this lias certain manifest disad- 
 vantages. Lime water, which was 
 strongly recommended, failed in many 
 respects. The solution required fre- 
 quent changing, a deposit of calcium 
 carbonate formed on the immersed ob- 
 jects, mold often developed, and the 
 elasticity of the rubber suffered. In 
 a solution containing 8% of glycerin 
 and the same proportion of alcohol new 
 rubber may be kept fairly well, but de- 
 teriorated tubing recovered none of its 
 original elasticity. A 1% pentasulfld 
 of potassium solution has the special 
 virtue of restoring to hardened rubber 
 some of its former properties, but the 
 offensive odor of the solution would 
 prevent its general employment. The 
 carbolic solution is the most convenient 
 and effective; its antiseptic action, too, 
 is a strong point in its favor for hos- 
 pital use. 
 
 RUBBER PIANO COVERS, To Clean. 
 Spread the covers on any convenient 
 object, and scoured with water, using 
 a liquid soap made of spirit of soap, 
 yolk of eggs and oil of turpentine, after 
 the following formula : 
 
 Spirit of soap fl.oz. 5 
 
 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 1 
 
 Yolk of eggs No. 5 
 
 This is rubbed on the cover with a 
 sponge, warm water is then applied, and 
 the surface scrubbed with a stiff brush. 
 For badly spotted or stained covers, the 
 following is recommended : 
 
 Ox-gall fl.oz. 8 
 
 Alum, powder fl.oz. 1 
 
 Table salt fl.oz. 1 
 
 Mix and boil together for a few min- 
 utes. After cooling, bottle for use. A 
 little essential oil of lavender or lemon 
 may be added to cover the nauseous 
 odor of bile. This may be used in the 
 same manner as the foregoing prepara- 
 tion. 
 RUBBER-STAMP INKS. 
 
 See Inks, Stamping. 
 RUST STAIN Removers. 
 
 The following are recommended: 
 I. 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 1 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES.

 Water, to make fl.oz. 16 
 
 Mix, dissolve and filter. 
 
 II. A mixture of 2 parts of pow- 
 dered cream of tartar with 1 part of 
 powdered oxalic acid will remove stains 
 from cotton and linen. 
 
 Dampen the goods, apply the powder, 
 allow to remain for a short time, and 
 rinse in clear water. This mixture is 
 said to work better than oxalic acid 
 alone. 
 
 III. Rust Stains on White Goods. — 
 Soak the stains in a solution of tin 
 chlorid, and rinse immediately with 
 much water. The tin salt is much more 
 reliable in removing iron rust, and 
 quicker in its action than oxalic acid, 
 unless the stains are soaked in a solu- 
 tion of the latter, contained in a tin 
 spoon, when the stains disappear in a 
 short time. 
 
 SAFETY PAINT. 
 
 See Fireproofing Fabrics, Wood, etc. 
 SCALE PANS, To Clean. 
 
 Nickel or silvered pans may be 
 cleaned with whiting and ammonia. 
 
 To clean brass scale pans, pour suf- 
 ficient ammonia in the pan to cover 
 the bottom, and rub briskly till dry 
 with a handful of dry pine sawdust. 
 For very dirty pans, take about a dram 
 of potassium bichromate, powder it in 
 a mortar, mix it with two or three 
 times its bulk of concentrated sulfuric 
 acid, and add twice as much water. 
 With this rub the pans (having a care 
 for the fingers), rinse well, and polish 
 with a cloth moistened with oil and 
 precipitated chalk or rotten stone.

 SEALING WAXES. 
 
 These consist of resinous substances 
 in combination with coloring agents, the 
 mixture frequently being cheapened by 
 the addition of mineral substances. In 
 preparing these, the less fusible resins, 
 such as rosin and shellac should be 
 melted, then the turpentine, Venice tur- 
 pentine or similar more fusible a^ent 
 should be added, and with this mixture 
 should be incorporated the remaining 
 ingredients. The powdery substances 
 should be added in the very finely di- 
 vided form, and should be added last; 
 if there are several powders, they should 
 be well mixed before adding to the 
 liquefied resins. When the ingredients 
 have been mixed, the heating should 
 be continued for a few moments to per- 
 
 mit the escapt of air bubbles which have 
 been introduced during mixing of the 
 ingredients. 
 
 The mixture may be cast into sticks, 
 if desired, by pouring into suitable 
 molds which have previously been an- 
 ointed with petrolatum. 
 
 To cool off to the consistency re- 
 quired for molding, pour off about one- 
 sixth of the mixture on a piece of 
 wetted parchment paper, and as soon as 
 this mass has hardened it should be re- 
 turned to the vessel and stirred until 
 the cooled portion is dissolved; the 
 mixture may be poured into the molds.

 SEWING MACHINE OIL. 
 
 Sp:rm oil has been used as a sewing 
 machine oil but it is considered too 
 heavy for this purpose and should be 
 thinned with some kerosene. Most 
 sewing machine oils of the present time 
 are the lighter paraffin oils. A patented 
 preparation (1872) was directed to be 
 made from a mixture of 3 gallons of 
 sperm oil, 2 quarts of crude petroleum 
 oil, 1 quart "spirit" of turpentine, and 
 y 2 pound of oil of wintergreen, this 
 to be drained through woolen cloths 
 spread over with powdered charcoal. 
 
 SHELLAC SOLUTION, To Make 
 Clear Alcoholic. 
 
 The milky appearance of alcoholic 
 solution of shellac is due to the pres- 
 ence of a waxy matter in the shellac 
 which is insoluble in alcohol, and mav 
 be separated by shaking the alcoholic 
 solution with benzine, which dissolves 
 the wax, and after the liquids- separate

 pouring off the upper layer. An alco- 
 hol of about 85^0 should be used. An- 
 other method is to triturate with mag- 
 nesia, precipitated chalk or some other 
 finely divided insoluble substance and 
 filtering. This effects the separation me- 
 chanically, but is objectionable on ac- 
 count of the loss of liquid absorbed by 
 the powder.

 SHOE BLACKING, LIQUID. (La- 
 dies' Shoe Dressing.) 
 These preparations are usually resin- 
 ous solutions colored black, and in- 
 tended for application to shoes by 
 means of sponge. They dry quickly, 
 and give a polish without friction with 
 a brush. 
 
 Whenever bone or ivory black is di- 
 rected in a formula, the purified arti- 
 cle should be preferred, as it gives a 
 dead-black color; whereas the unpuri- 
 fied may give but a brownish or gray- 
 ish black. 
 
 All the formulas mentioned herein 
 come well recommended.

 cient to color. Water must be added 
 from time to time to make up for that 
 lost by evaporation. 
 
 Other colored dressings may be ob- 
 tained by adding other dyes; for red, 
 use eosin or fuchsin; for blue, methyl 
 blue • green, malachite or methyl green ;

 SHOE BLACKING, Paste Form. 
 
 There are a variety of formulas here 
 given and as may be observed they are 
 mostly of a crude and unscientific as- 
 pect. They are however, the best that 
 are available and most of them are 
 well vouched for. There are two kinds 
 of blacking, the older kind, made with 
 sulfuric acid, and the more modern, 
 acid-free kind which is suitable for pat- 
 ent leather and the finer grades of 
 shoes. 
 
 The gist of the former kinds is that 
 the calcium phosphate is decomposed by 
 the strong sulfuric acid, calcium sul- 
 fate and acid phosphate being formed, 
 a uniform mixture being thus obtained. 
 Oil and saccharine substances, if pres- 
 ent, are at the same time partially car- 
 bonized by the acid, thereby assisting 
 to make an intimate combination. 
 
 Acid Blackings.

 Sodium carbonate av.oz. 2 
 
 In a porcelain vessel mix the bone 
 black and glucose, then rapidly and 
 evenly stir in the acid. This is the most 
 imoortant part of the proceedings, for, 
 if improperly done, the mass will be 
 granular. When the mixture has ac- 
 quired a shining black surface, when 
 at rest, set aside. Dissolve the soda 
 in the water, add to the oil, and boil, 
 under constant stirring, until a thick 
 mass is formed. Then stir into this the 
 first mixture. What are known as 
 "French"' polishes are based on this 
 process, various degrees of hardness 
 being obtained by altering the propor- 
 tions, using stale beer for thinning.

 Logwood extract av.oz. 3 
 
 Xitric acid m. 45

 Water, each sufficient 
 
 Boil the extract in a porcelain vessel 
 with 16 fluidounces of water until the 
 extract is dissolved, cover with paper 
 to exclude dust, and set aside for 2 
 weeks. Now into a glass-stoppered 
 bottle, put 3 drams of iron sulfate, add 
 just enough water to dissolve the latter, 
 and then the acid, and close the bottle. 
 Mix the ingredients well and then add 
 iron sulfate little by little until no more 
 can be dissolved. Allow this mixture 
 to stand a few hours and decant the 
 clear liquid. To the logwood extract 
 solution add from 2^ to 5% of the 
 iron solution. Stir for 5 or 10 min- 
 | utes when the mixture becomes of a 
 purple hue as will be seen by observ- 
 ing it at the edges. If too much iron 
 is added, the ink assumes a reddish hue. 
 This formula is the result of chemical 
 investigation and should be an excel- 
 lent one.

 Melt the rosin, wax and suet and 
 incorporate the oil. 
 
 Apply the mixture at a temperature of 
 about I40°F., preferably using a brush. 
 On the first application give two coats, 
 being careful to get the preparation 
 well into the seams around the soles, 
 etc. For subsequent applications one 
 coat (applied quite hot) will be suffi- 
 cient. 
 
 This is also recommended: 
 
 Make a 10 or 15% solution of glue 
 or gelatin in water with about 1% of 
 glycerin, and add also a 10% solution 
 of potassium bichromate. The bichrom- 
 ate solution is to be added only when 
 the liquid is needed. Apply this in the 
 dark, with a brush, and then expose 
 the shoes or boots to direct sunlight 
 for an hour or two. 
 
 SHOW GLOBE COLORS. 
 
 Colored liquids for show globes, 
 show globe colors as they are termed, 
 are frequently made of coal tar dyes, 
 and very handsome colors may be pro- 
 duced in this way, but these, as a rule, 
 lack permanency. However, these col- 
 ors are inexpensive ; so very little of 
 the dye being required that they may 
 be "freshened" occasionally, or they 
 may be entirely renewed. Those who 
 do not care to use coal tar dyes may 
 employ the formulas mentioned below. 
 It should be understood, however, that 
 no show bottle colors are absolutely 
 permanent, because they are exposed 
 to one of the most powerful of all 
 chemical agents, viz., light. From time 
 to time they should be filtered or else 
 renewed, and the bottle should be thor- 
 oughly cleansed. 
 
 Show bottle colors are liable to be 
 subjected to considerable cold in winter 
 time and to be frozen. This may be 
 prevented by replacing 20 or 2s9c of the 
 water with alcohol or glycerin. Such 
 replacement cannot always be made, 
 owing to possible chemical change — for 
 example, in purple made with potassium 
 permanganate. 
 
 The colors most commonly employed 
 are red, green, blue and yellow. The 
 formulas given below will yield these 
 colors in several different shades. These 
 shades may in each instance be made 
 lighter or darker by increasing or de- 
 creasing the proportion of water. 
 
 The usual fault in making show-globe 
 colors is that they are too dark. They 
 should always be quite light as then 
 they are more brilliant and lights placed 
 behind them will show to much greater 
 advantage. 
 
 All the solutions must be filtered un- 
 til they are absolutely clear and bright.

 SILVER NITRATE STAINS, To Re- 
 move. 
 
 The preparations mentioned for re- 
 moving silver nitrate are equally effica- 
 cious against indelible (marking) ink 
 stains, the latter usually having a silver 
 salt as the basis. 
 
 The following may be tried: (1) 
 First soak in a solution of common salt, 
 and afterward wash with ammonia; (2) 
 Treat with a solution of potassium cy- 
 anid, 10 grains ; iodin, 5 grains, in one 
 fluidounce of water; (3) Moisten with 
 a solution of iodin in potassium iodid, 
 and afterward wash with water ; (4) 
 Treat with a strong solution of zinc 
 sulfate, and then touch with a piece of 
 metallic zinc, afterward washing; (5) 
 Treat with a solution of chlorinated 
 lime (either Javelle water or Labar- 
 raque's solution) ; (6) alizarine ink 
 stains may be removed by treating with 
 a solution of tartaric acid, the older the 
 stain the more concentrated the solu- 
 tion. 
 
 The following are recommended for 
 removing silver stains from the skin : 
 (1) Potassium cyanid in strong aque- 
 ous solution, but it is so very poisonous 
 that it must be used with extreme cau- 
 tion; (2) A mixture of potassium fer- 
 ricyanid and sodium hyposulfite. A 
 few crystals of the former are dissolved 
 in a solution of hyposulfite, or from 10 
 to 20% solution of the ferricyanid may 
 be added to the hyposulfite solution and 
 applied to the stains; (3) Dip the fin- 
 gers into a strong solution of copper 
 chlorid. In about a minute the silver 
 will be converted into chlorid and may 
 
 then be washed off with a solution of 
 sodium hypophosphite. 
 
 SILVER, To Remove Mercurial 
 Stains from. 
 
 First apply tincture of iodin, then a 
 concentrated solution of potassium 
 iodid. 
 SILVER, "Oxidizing" of 
 
 The so-called "oxidizing" of silver is 
 really a sulfuration or the formation 
 of a superficial layer of sulfid. One 
 process is to immerse the silver in a 
 solution of 40 grains of sulfurated po- 
 tassa and 80 grains of ammonium car- 
 bonate in 16 fluidounces of distilled 
 water warmed to 8o° C. Another 
 process is this : 
 
 To a cup of hot water add about 
 10 grains of sulfurated potassa, and 
 dissolve. Into this dip the article to be 
 "oxidized," after first making it as white 
 as possible with the scratch brush, and 
 allow it to remain for about 2 minutes. 
 Then take it out, rinse off with clear 
 water, polish again with a scratch brush, 
 and again immerse in the solution. Re- 
 peat this rubbing with a scratch brush 
 and dipping in the solution by which 
 time the article will probably be suffi- 
 ciently "oxidized."

 SILVER, To Prevent the Tarnishing 
 of. 
 
 The blackening which silver and sil- 
 ver-plated articles speedily suffer is due 
 principally to the formation of a super- 
 ficial film of silver sulfid by the action 
 of the hydrogen sulfid in the atmo- 
 sphere, especially in cities, where the 
 large consumption of coal and coal-gas 
 charges the atmosphere with sulfur and 
 sulfur compounds. Of all the sugges- 
 tions that have been made, none appear 
 to have given satisfactory results as 
 a varnish of collodion — a solution of 
 gun-cotton in a mixture of alcohol and 
 ether. All other varnishes appear to 
 impart a yellowish tinge to the silver 
 or plated wares, but collodion varnish 
 is quite colorless. The articles should 
 be carefully brushed with the varnish 
 with an elastic brush, making sure that 
 the entire surface is covered. The film 
 of collodion will protect the under- 
 lying metal surface for a long time. 
 SILVERING OF GLASS. (Making 
 of Mirrors.) 
 
 The former process for making mir- 
 rors is by means of an amalgam of 
 mercury. The following is the process 
 ■said to be in use bv mirror manufac- 
 turers some years ago : 
 
 A sheet of pure tin-foil, slightly 
 larger than the glass plate to be sil- 
 vered, is spread evenly on a perfectly 
 plane stone table having a raised edge, 
 and is well cleaned from all dust and 
 impurity. This tin-foil must be free 
 from the slightest flaw or crack. The 
 tin is next covered uniformly to the 
 depth of Y% of an inch with clean mer- 
 cury, preference being given by some 
 to that containing a small proportion 
 of tin from a previous operation. The 
 glass plate, freed from all dust or 
 grease, and repolished if necessary, is 
 then carefully slid over the mercury. 
 This part of the work requires skill and 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1167 
 
 experience to exclude all air bubbles, 
 and even the best workmen are not 
 every time successful. If there is a 
 single bubble or scratch the operation 
 has to be repeated and the tin-foil is 
 lost. When this step has been satis- 
 factorily accomplished the remainder 
 is comparatively easy. The glass nlate 
 is loaded with heavy weights to Dress 
 out the excess of mercury, which is 
 collected and used again. After 24 
 hours the mirror is lifted from the table 
 and placed on edge against a wall, where 
 it is left to drain well for several weeks. 
 At the present time it is customary 
 to make mirrors by causing a deposi- 
 tion of metallic silver on the glass. The 
 latter is first made chemically clean by 
 washing or scrubbing with an alkaline 
 liquid, then rinsing with distilled water. 
 Am- spot or stain, even a momentary 
 touch of a person's finger, is liable to 
 interfere with the uniformity of the de- 
 position of the silver and be the cause 
 of an imperfect mirror. After the glass 
 has been cleaned and drained it is to 
 be laid down flat and over it floated a 
 solution of the silver salt, usually the 
 nitrate with some ammonia added. 
 When the glass is completely wetted, a 
 reducing substance in aqueous solution 
 is added. Various reducing agents are 
 used, such as Rochelle salt, glucose, for- 
 maldehyde, etc. 
 
 I. Edel's process : 
 Solution A. 
 
 Silver nitrate av.oz. 1 
 
 Distilled water. 
 
 Ammonia water, each ..... sufficient 
 
 Dissolve the silver salt in 8 fluid- 
 ounces of distilled water and add am- 
 monia water gradually until the brown 
 precipitate that is thrown down at first 
 is just dissolved, being careful not to 
 add too much ammonia. To make sure 
 that too much ammonia has not been 
 used, drop into the liquid a crystal of 
 silver nitrate and shake; if the solution 
 becomes turbid, no excess of ammonia 
 has been used, and if it does not, more 
 silver must be added till it does be- 
 
 come turbid. . Then filter the liquid 
 through a double paper filter, returning 
 the first portion of the filtrate to the 
 filter until the liquid runs through clear, 
 and add enough distilled water through 
 the filter to make the filtrate measure 
 16 fluidounces. Put this in a clean bot- 
 tle, cork well, and keep in a cool, dark 
 place over night.

 Dissolve the salt in 10 fluidounces of 
 water, and heat the solution to boiling 
 in a porcelain dish. Then add 10 grains 
 of silver nitrate, stir with a glass rod, 
 and boil the liquid gently for 10 or 15 
 minutes or until it becomes of a gray 
 color. Filter this paper until clear and 
 add enough distilled water through the 
 filter to make 16 fluidounces of liauid. 
 Put this into a clean bottle, cork well, 
 and place away for 5 or 6 hours. 
 
 When the preparation is wanted for 
 use, mix 
 
 Solution A .' fl.oz. 1 
 
 Solution B fl.oz. 1 
 
 Distilled water fl.oz. 4 
 
 Immediately pour this mixture over the 
 glass, which has previously been cleaned 
 as described above, and leveled on some 
 firm support. Then allow to stand un- 
 til the solution has deposited its silver, 
 about one hour being required. Then 
 decant the excess of liquid, rinse off 
 with clear water, and stand the glass on 
 edge to dry. Lastly apply a protective 
 coating of asphaltum varnish, using a 
 soft brush to avoid scratching the sil- 
 ver. 
 
 SILVERWARE, To Clean. 
 
 See under Polishing Powders and 
 Silv«r Polish. The following useful 
 points may also be noted here in re- 
 gard to cleaning silverware : 
 
 Make a thin paste of prepared chalk 
 and sodium hyposulfite, in equal parts, 
 rubbed up in distilled water. Apply this 
 paste to the surface rubbing well with 
 
11 f>8 
 
 THE STANDARD FORMULARY 
 
 a soft brush. Rinse in clear water and 
 dry in sawdust. 
 
 Ink Stains. 
 
 Silver articles in domestic use, and 
 especially silver or plated inkstands, fre- 
 quently become badly stained with ink. 
 These stains cannot be removed by or- 
 dinary processes, but readily yield to 
 a paste of chlorinted lime and water. 
 Javelle water, when at hand, may be 
 used instead. 
 
 Egg Stains. 
 These are easily and quickly removed 
 from silver by rubbing with common 
 salt. A pinch taken between the thumb 
 and finger and rubbed on the spot with 
 the end of the finger will usually re- 
 move the darkest egg stain. 
 
 To Clean Silver Ornaments. 
 
 Make a strong solution of soft soap 
 and water, and in this boil the articles 
 for a few minutes — 5 will usually be 
 enough. Take out, pour the soap solu- 
 tion into a basin, and as soon as the 
 liquid has cooled down sufficiently to 
 be borne by the hand, with a soft brush 
 scrub the articles with it. Rinse in 
 boilinq water and place on a porous 
 substance (a bit of tiling, a brick, or 
 unglazed earthenware) to dry. Fin- 
 ally, give a light rubbing with a cham- 
 ois. Articles thus treated look as bright 
 as new. 
 
 To Frost Polished Silver. 
 
 Articles of polished silver may be 
 frosted by putting them into a bath of 
 nitric acid diluted with an equal volume 
 of distilled water, and letting remain 
 for few minutes. A better effect may 
 be given by dipping the article frequent- 
 ly into the bath until the requisite de- 
 gree of frosting has been attained. Then 
 rinse and place for a few moments in a 
 strong bath of potassium cyanid, remove 
 and rinse. The fingers must not be al- 
 lowed to touch the article during either 
 process. It should be held with wooden 
 forceps or clamps.

 SNOW IMITATION for Christmas. 
 
 Ordinary cotton is too dangerous to 
 use for Christmas decorations. The 
 best substance for this purpose is pure 
 white "mineral wool," i. e., asbestos. If 
 this is not available or if it be too ex- 
 pensive, ordinary cotton rendered in- 
 combustible by treatment with a fire- 
 proofing solution may be used. See un- 
 der Fireproofing Fabrics, etc. 
 
 A more highly decorative effect will 
 be obtained if the cotton is strewed 
 with what is known as "diamond dust."

 and Soap, Ox-Gall. 
 
 Before applying any of the cleansers 
 mentioned in this work to colored goods 
 an experiment should be made, either 
 with a sample of the goods or on some 
 portion which will not be seen, to de- 
 termine whether directions given for 
 treating the spot will not affect the 
 color. 
 
 The tables given herein will be useful 
 to determine in just about what manner 
 fabrics must be cleaned. 
 
 Whenever a cleansing liquid is men-

 or similar article. 
 
 The Spot is of Unknown Origin. 
 
 White Goods. — Dissolve some soao in 
 lukewarm water and add 2 dessert- 
 spoonfuls of "cleansing liquid" and 
 dampen the spot with a sponge soaked 
 in this' solution; finally wash out in 
 clear water. 
 
 Colored Woolens. — Dissolve a "cleans- 
 ing pencil" in a bottle of the solution 
 and wash out the spot in the liquid; 
 then rinse in clear water, and dry in the 
 air. See Cleansing Pencil.

 STAINS FROM THE HANDS, To 
 Remove. 
 
 When the hands have been stained by 
 strong alkaline solutions, they should be 
 washed in some dilute acid, nitric, ox- 
 alic, or acetic (i to ioo of water). If 
 soap without water is then immediately 
 applied, fatty acids are deposited in the 
 skin, which thus becomes less liable to 
 crack. The effects of the lime solu- 
 tions and also of strong ammonia may 
 be prevented in the same way. After 
 using mineral acids the hands should 
 be washed with water and rubbed while 
 wet with a piece of soap. If the acid 
 is strong or has affected a large sur- 
 face, the hands should be bathed, after 
 washing, in a weak solution of soda (i 
 to ioo). Strong sulfuric acid is first to 
 be washed off as far as possible with 
 plenty of water, after which soap should 
 be employed as previously directed. If 
 water is used abundantly there is no 
 danger of too much heat being evolved. 
 
 When the acid has caused severe burns, 
 the affected parts may be covered with 
 a paste composed of magnesia, magne- 
 sium carbonate, or sodium bicarbonate 
 with a little water. Nitric acid is re- 
 moved by the same process. Burns by 
 this acid, especially when treated with 
 alkaline agents, are apt to leave behind 
 a yellowness of the affected integument. 
 Nitric acid destroys the epidermis so 
 quickly that it can scarcely ever be re- 
 stored to a normal condition, and this 
 is true also of the fumes of nitric acid, 
 nitromuriatic acid, bromin and chlorin. 
 Iodin stains should be treated with a 
 solution of sodium hyposulfite (i to 10 
 of water). When the hands have been 
 exposed for a long time to the action 
 of carbolic acid, wash them first with 
 alcohol, which may be used several 
 times over for this purpose, and then 
 with soap, after which, without being 
 first dried, they may be rubbed with 
 wool-fat. After working with subli- 
 mate solutions it is best to bathe the 
 hands for some time in a solution of 
 common salt (i to 50 of water), fol- 
 lowed by soap and wool-fat. 
 
 Potassium permanganate stains may 
 be removed by rubbing with a solution 
 of oxalic acid, then washing in water, 
 slightly acidulated with sulfuric acid. 
 
 Potassium bichromate stains may be 
 removed by treating them with a strong 
 solution of sodium hyposulfite, slightly 
 acidulated with sulfuric acid. The same 
 effect may be obtained by touching with 
 sulfurous acid and then washing in rain 
 or distilled water.

 STAINS FOR WOOD. 
 
 By wood stains are understood solu- 
 tions of dyes, etc., used for coloring 
 wood. They are fixed on the wood 
 either direct or through the medium of 
 some mordant. In many cases the 
 color is only developed in the grain 
 after the mordant is applied; sometimes 
 the mordant merely changes the tone of 
 the color. 
 
 The action of the stain is influenced 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1173 
 
 not only by the mordant but also by the 
 natural constituents of the wood, as 
 tannin for instance. Consequently differ- 
 ent woods sometimes give entirely dif- 
 ferent results with a certain stain. All 
 the stains here given have been tried 
 with oak, cherry, white beech, red 
 beech, maple, ash, birch, linden, poplar, 
 fir and pine. Practical utility can best 
 be served by designating the mordants 
 and color solutions with letters and fig- 
 ures respectively and combining them in 
 a tabular form under the colors. 
 
 A more definite nomenclature of the 
 colors is impracticable because of the 
 variations of color and tone produced 
 on the different woods. Moreover the 
 age of the wood to be stained and other 
 circumstances enter into the matter of 
 color. 
 
 Mordants. 
 
 (a) Iron acetate solution. 
 
 The following consists of solutions of 
 the substance and quantity named in ioo 
 parts of water: (b) 2 parts of potas- 
 sium bichromate; (c) 1 part of copper 
 sulfate and 1 part of potassium chlorate ; 
 (d) 1 part of barium chlorid; (e) 1 
 part of calcium chlorid; (/) 2 parts' of 
 magnesium sulfate; (g) 2 J / 2 parts of 
 ^manganese sulfate; (h) 3 parts of 
 chrome alum; (f) 1 part of iron chlorid; 
 (k) 2 parts of iron sulfate; (/) 2 parts 
 of copper sulfate; (m) 2 parts of tin 
 chlorid; (w) 3 parts of alum. 
 Coloring Solutions. 
 
 1. Dissolve 20 parts of logwood ex- 
 tract in 80 of water. 
 
 2. Dissolve 10 parts of logwood ex- 
 tract in 90 parts of water. 
 
 3. Dissolve 20 parts of aniline chlorid 
 in 80 parts of alcohol. 
 
 4. Rub 10 parts of Cassel brown with 
 30 parts of 10% ammonia water, put in 
 a bottle and allow to stand corked for 
 24 hours. Then add 50 parts of water 
 and 10 parts of alcohol. Allow the mix- 
 ture to stand for several days and then 
 filter. 
 
 5. Boil 5 parts of caustic potassa 
 and 10 parts of Cassel brown with 50 
 parts of water for about half an hour, 
 cool, add sufficient water to bring up to 
 90 parts by weight, and then add 10 
 parts of alcohol. 
 
 6. Triturate carefully 5 parts of ali- 
 zarin with 100 parts of water and add 
 sufficient ammonia water to make solu- 
 tion smell strongly of ammonia. 
 
 7. Mix 1 part of alkannin, 10 parts 
 of alcoholic extract of red saunders, 10 
 parts of dragon's blood and 180 parts of 
 alcohol, and filter. 
 
 8. Dissolve 5 parts of alcoholic ex- 
 tract of red saunders and 10 parts of 
 aloes in 85 parts of alcohol and 2 parts 
 of 15% soda solution (sp.gr. 1.17). 
 
 9. Dissolve 1 part of gallic acid in 
 100 parts of water. 
 
 10. Dissolve 1 part of water-soluble 
 nigrosin in 140 parts of water. 
 
 Before applying a stain, the wood 
 should be smoothed by sandpapering. 
 After applying the stain the wood should 
 be polished so as to "bring out" the 
 stain. 
 
 Other formulas are mentioned below. 
 See also the somewhat similar prepara- 
 tions under the heading Varnish Stains. 
 
 Some years ago a patent was issued 
 to a German firm for making wood 
 stains from coal-tar dyes dissolved in 
 benzole, oil of turpentine, and similar 
 solvents. These stains, unlike water and 
 spirit stains, do not raise the grain of 
 the wood, so that the usual subsequent 
 process of smoothing is entirely obvi- 
 ated, and any desired shade of color 
 may be obtained by one or two applica- 
 tions.

 The dry wood is painted three times 
 with the above solutions, applying them 
 alternately; before each application the 
 wood is well dried; finally, it is rubbed 
 with linseed oil or a mixture of tur- 
 pentine and wax, and polished. The 
 color is not affected by acids or alkalies. 
 
 If aniline chlorid be not at hand, use 
 instead 2 av. ounces of aniline oil, 3

 STAMPING PREPARATIONS. 
 
 These are employed for stamping em- 
 broideries, etc. Powders of various col- 
 ors are rendered adhesive by admixture 
 with gum resins, such as resin, copal, 
 damar or sandarac. The substances 
 should be made into the most impalpa- 
 ble power by trituration and sifting. 
 
 The method employed for stamping 
 is to perforate paper according to the 
 pattern desired, then placing this upon 
 the fabric, sprinkling or rubbing the 
 powder into the perforations (carefully 
 removing the pattern), placing a piece 
 of unperforated paper on the cloth, and 
 carefully passing a hot iron over the 
 whole. The iron melts the resin and 
 leaves the design imprinted on the mate- 
 rial. 
 
 I. Mix equal parts powdered resin 
 and a pigment — ultramarine or Prussian 
 Mue for blue; zinc oxid or flake white 
 tor white ; chrome yellow for yellow ; 
 burnt or raw umber, burnt or raw sien- 
 na. Vandyke brown, etc., for brown ; 
 ivory black for black, etc.

 Damar resin, 
 
 Copal resin, 
 
 Sandarac, 
 
 Pigment, each, equal parts. 
 
 Reduce each to very fine powder, and 
 mix well. 
 
 III. For stamping fabrics liable to be 
 injured by heat, it is suggested to mix 
 the above powders with enough alcohol 
 and using this with a brush like a sten- 
 cil ink. It is said that a tinted starch 
 paste is also used for this purpose. 
 
 STARCH OR LAUNDRY GLOSS. 
 
 (Starch Polish or Polishing 
 Starch.) 
 
 Many women impart a suitable polish 
 to the laundry by adding either borax 
 or paraffin to the starch, but in many 
 cases other prepared compounds are 
 used, such as those mentioned here. 
 These may be in the form of cake, pow- 
 der or liquid. 
 
 Cake Form. 
 
 I. Instead of plain paraffin, the fol- 
 lowing may be used: 
 
 Stearin, pure av.oz. 4 . 
 
 Paraffin av.oz. 6 
 
 M^elt together, pour into molds to so- 
 lidify, and then cut into cakes weighing 
 about Y\ ounce each. 
 
 In using, make a starch paste, say 
 from one pound of starch, add one of 
 these pieces and leave in the mass dur- 
 ing a few minutes' boiling. When us- 
 ing unboiled starch paste, a small quan- 
 tity of a hot solution of starch contain- 
 ing the gloss is applied to a rag and the 
 latter gently rubbed over the fabric just 
 before ironing. 
 II. 
 
 Stearic acid (stearin) av.oz. 16 
 
 Absolute alcohol fl.oz. 1 
 
 Melt the acid, add the alcohol, and 
 form into broad rectangular blocks, 
 which may be wrapped in tin-foil and 
 parchment paper. 
 
 In using, starch the goods in the us- 
 ual manner, pass the hot iron over the 
 stearin block, and iron rapidly in the 
 usual manner ; a brilliant polish will be 
 produced. The irons must be well 
 cleaned when the ironing is completed 
 as the acid will eventually rust the metal 
 of the irons. — D.

 STRAW HAT CLEANERS. 
 
 These are now usually put up in the 
 form of powder contained in little en- 
 velopes. This powder is frequently ox- 
 alic or tartaric acid; the latter is to be 
 preferred on account of its non-poison- 
 ous character. One dram is to be put 
 up in each package. Other powdery 
 mixtures for the same purpose are the 
 following : 
 
 Powders. 
 I. 
 
 Sodium bisulfite av.oz. 5 
 
 Tartaric acid av.oz. 1 
 
 Borax av.oz. y 2 
 
 Mix and put up in packages of half 
 an ounce each. The directions for use 
 are to moisten a small quantity of the 
 powder with water and apply this with 
 a wetted tooth brush to the hat. 
 
 II. Potassium oxalate, or a mixture 
 of equal parts of potassium bitartrate 
 and oxalic acid may be used for this 
 purpose. 
 
 III. Sodium perborate is also an ex- 
 cellent hat bleach and cleaner. In us- 
 ing, add about a teaspoonful to 2 fluid- 
 ounces of warm water, spongtf the hat 
 with this liquid, rubbing in thoroughly, 
 then wipe off with a sponge that has 
 been dipped in the solution and then 
 squeezed out. Then apply a weak solu- 
 tion of oxalic or tartaric acid, which is 
 to be allowed to remain for a short 
 time when it is to be washed off and 
 the hat allowed to dry. 
 
 Liquids. 
 See the preparation mentioned under 
 the heading Panama Hats, To Clean, or 
 use the following : 
 
 IV. The simplest method is to brush 
 well with dilute ammonia water or 
 weak solution of potassa, then a liberal 
 application of hydrogen peroxid. This 
 is easier to use and is said to be more 
 satisfactory than bleaching with sulfur. 
 
 V. Sodium dioxid (or peroxid) may 
 also be used as a hat bleach, first wash- 
 ing with a solution in warm water, then 
 wiping repeatedly with the same solu- 
 tion to which more and more oxalic 
 acid has been added until the liquid is 
 decidedly acid. The alkaline solution 
 will make the straw yellow but as acid 
 is added to the liquid the light color 
 will be restored. Finally, rinse the hat 
 with clear water, and dry it. 
 
 STRAW HAT VARNISH. 
 
 If a simple waterproof application is 
 desired, apply one of these varnishes, 
 but if a color or dye is wanted, add 
 some aniline dye, sufficient to give the 
 desired tint. For white straw hats, 
 which are to remain uncolored, white 
 shellac should be used in these for- 
 mulas.

 SULFUR STRIPS. 
 
 These are made by cutting thick paper 
 into strips and passing through melted 
 sulfur. Cloth strips may be substituted 
 for paper. The temperature must not 
 be too high and care must be taken not 
 to allow the sulfur to ignite. If the 
 first coat is not thick enough, the strips 
 may be dipped a second time. 
 
 SWEEPING COMPOUNDS. 
 
 According to a patent issued in 1905, 
 this is composed of sawdust, silicious 
 material, rosin, oil, and tar. Another 
 patent calls for catechu, 1 part, mineral 
 oil, 8 parts, sawdust, 16 parts, bran, ^2 
 parts, sand, 48 parts, and water con- 
 taining a small amount of nitrobenzene, 
 32 parts. 
 
 This is offered as a good formula : 
 
 Paraffin wax av.oz. 1

 TABLE TOPS, To Make Acid-Proof. 
 
 Table and counter tops, such as the 
 tops of laboratory tables and prescrip- 
 tion counters, may be rendered acid- 
 proof by the following treatment: 
 
 Scrape off the old paint and varnish 
 and scrub thoroughly, then brush on a 
 solution composed of 
 
 Iron sulfate av.oz. 1 
 
 Copper sulfate av.oz. 1 
 
 Potassium permanganate .av.oz. 2 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 24 
 
 When the first coat is dry, apply an- 
 other coat, and when this is dry, apply 
 in the same manner two coats of this 
 liquid : 
 
 Anilin fl.oz. 2 
 
 Hydrochloric acid fl.oz. 3 
 
 Water, to make fl.oz. 17 
 
 Or use 2Yz ounces of anilin hydro- 
 chlorid in enough water to make 17 
 fluidounces. 
 
 Finally, when the table top is dry, ap- 
 ply a thin coating of raw linseed oil. 
 
 The wood assumes an ebony black 
 color, which may be objectionable. The 
 table top may also be rendered acid- 
 proof by first cleaning and scrubbing it, 
 allowing it to dry, and then rubbing in 
 melted paraffin, or the paraffin may be 
 dissolved in gasoline and several coats 
 of this solution may be applied with a 
 brush. 
 
 The first mentioned preparation is 
 similar to that mentioned under Xo. 1 
 ebony stain under Stains for Wood. 
 This latter will also render table tops 
 acid-proof.

 of bleached or orange shellac dissolved 
 in 5 parts of alcohol. Wood or dena- 
 tured alcohol may be used instead of 
 alcohol. Allow the liquid to stand and 
 decant the clear portion. 
 
 To make red varnish, use 1 part of 
 eosin to 49 parts of Lleached shellac so- 
 lution. For blue, use 1 part of aniline 
 blue to 24 parts of bleached shellac so- 
 lution. For yellow, use 1 part of gam- 
 boge to 24 of the solution or 1 part of 
 aniline yellow (alcohol-soluble) to 49 
 parts of the solution. For golden yel- 
 low, use 2 parts of p-amboge and 1 part 
 of dragon's blood to 47 parts of orange 
 shellac solution. The gamboge and 
 dragon's blood should first be reduced 
 to coarse powder and shaken with some 
 alcohol before adding to the shellac so- 
 lution. For green, use 1 part of aniline 
 
 green to 49 parts of orange shellac solu- 
 tion.

 WASHING PREPARATIONS. 
 
 The washing preparations mentioned 
 in this connection are such as are rec- 
 ommended and used for washing clothes. 
 These may be in the form of powder 
 or liquid. 
 
 Washing" Fluids. 
 
 I. Oil of turpentine added, in the 
 proportion of about 1 fluidounce to a 
 boilerful of water, will assist in cleans- 
 ing, bleaching and disinfecting clothes. 
 The oil should be added to the water 
 used for boiling. Kerosene is also good 
 but oil of turpentine is to be preferred. 
 This useful property of oil of turpen- 
 tine is taken advantage of in some of 
 these washing fluids. 
 
 II. The most common washing prep- 
 aration in use by housewives is a mix- 
 ture of 1 ounce of powdered borax, 1 
 ounce of salt of tartar, 2 ounces of am- 
 monium carbonate, and a 1 -pound can 
 of concentrated lye or potash, the whole 
 to be dissolved in 2 gallons of water. 
 Very frequently the borax is omitted. 
 A cupful of this solution is to be used 
 to a boilerful of water. 
 
 Washing Powders. 
 Washing powders, usually sold to the 
 consumer as soap powders, may be de- 
 scribed in a general way as mixtures of 
 powdered soap, with about its own 
 weight, more or less, of sodium carbon- 
 ate. Some special brands are also made, 
 which in addition contain other deter- 
 gent agents, such as ammonium car- 
 bonate, sal ammoniac or borax, while 
 still others are found, to which filling, 
 in the form of talc, silex, etc., has been 
 added. The soap itself may have been 
 made by any of the processes known — 
 
DOMESTIC UTILITIES. 
 
 1183 
 
 cold, half-boiled, or boiled, settled, or 
 boiled down — and the stock used may 
 have been any fat, or mixture of fats, 
 according to the grade of washing pow- 
 der to be made. Here are some typical 
 formulas : 
 I. Borax Soap Powder: 
 
 Curd (hard) soap, powder. av.oz. 10 
 
 Soda ash av.oz. 6 
 
 Sodium silicate av.oz. 4 
 
 Borax av.oz. 2

 Borax, powder av.oz. 2 
 
 III. According to Jolle's anaylsis, an- 
 other washing powder was found to 
 contain water, 23.37, sodium carbonate, 
 68.5, sodium sulfate, 1.04, sodium chlor- 
 id, 0.89, iron oxid, etc., 0.47. It is there- 
 fore a mixture of commercial sal soda 
 and sodium hyposulfite.

 Introduce the oil into a vessel of the 
 capacity of 1 quart-, add the tannic acid 
 dissolved in 3^ fluidounces of water, 
 and agitate thoroughly until emulsified. 
 Set the mixture aside for 8 days, agi- 
 tating frequently and thoroughly; then 
 add the talcum, shake well, and next in- 
 corporate the remainder of the water. 
 Allow to stand for 24 hours, decant the 
 lower aqueous layer, and wash the oil 
 repeatedly with fresh water until the 
 washings no longer give a reaction with 
 solution of iron chlorid. Now pour the 
 oil into an evaporating dish, add ^fhe 
 salt (which must have previously been 
 well dried and rubbed to fine powder), 
 
 stir the whole frequently during 24 
 hours,.- and filter through paper. 
 
 This oil should be introduced into 
 amber bottles of a capacity not greater 
 than 1 fluidounce, which should be well 
 closed and preserved in a cool place. — D. 
 WATER FOR MARINE AQUARIA. 
 
 See under Sea Salt, Artificial. 
 WATERPROOFING CLOTH. 
 
 I. Immerse the cloth in a solution of 
 water glass (made by mixing solution 
 of sodium silicate with an equal volume 
 of water) and before quite dry, im- 
 merse in a solution of alum and copper 
 sulfate, each 1 part, in 10 parts water. 
 Dry slowly in the air. 
 
 II. Make a weak solution by dissolv- 
 ing equal parts gutta percha and paraf- 
 fin in benzol or carbon disulfid, in 
 which the cloth is bathed. Care must 
 of course be exercised in regard to fire 
 during this operation, as well as while 
 drying. A weak solution of wax in 
 benzine is said to be used for the same 
 purpose. Both should be used in suffi- 
 ciently dilute solutions so that the inter- 
 stices of the cloth will not be filled with 
 the compound. 
 
 III. Dissolve 1 part alum in 5 parts 
 boiling water and make a similar solu- 
 tion with lead acetate. Immerse the 
 cloth first in the alum bath, and, after 
 wringing slightly, in the solution of lead 
 acetate ; a double decomposition takes 
 place, the insoluble lead sulfate and 
 basic acetate of aluminum being formed 
 in the fibers of the cloth. This treat- 
 ment renders the cloth perfectly water- 
 proof, and to a certain extent fire-proof, 
 while it does not render the cloth air 
 tight, a particular advantage in the case 
 of garments. 
 
 Waterproofing Canvas. 
 
 IV. Dissolve soft soap in hot water 
 and add to it a solution of iron sulfate. 
 An insoluble precipitate is thrown down 
 which must be collected, washed, dried, 
 and finally mixed with linseed oil, thus 
 forming a paint, which may be applied 
 in the usual manner.

 WEDGEWOOD MORTARS, To Re- 
 pair. 
 
 Pieces of a wedgewood may be united 
 by melting together equal parts of gutta 
 percha and shellac and applying this, 
 melted, to the edges of the broken parts 
 before uniting them. The pieces of the 
 mortar ought to be warmed before ap- 
 plying the cement. 
 
 WEED KILLERS. 
 
 To destroy weeds and grass growing 
 in walks and similar places, sprinkle a 
 solution of 1 pound of arsenate of soda 
 in a gallon of water along the path. 
 The commercial arsenate is cheap and is 
 said to form the basis of most of the 
 weed killers of the market.

 WINDOWS, FROSTING AND 
 STEAMING OF, To Prevent. 
 
 Frosting of windows is best prevented 
 by some system whereby cold air is 
 caused to circulate near the glass. When 
 the construction of the window does 
 not permit openings to be made at its 
 top and bottom into the outer air, holes 
 should be bored through the floor of 
 the window. Under these holes a box 
 should be built with openings into the 
 cellar. In the box should be placed an 
 electric fan so set as to create a current 
 of cold air along the window glass 
 when in action. 
 
 Frosting and steaming may to some 
 extent be prevented with the following 
 mixture applied to the glass : 
 
 Soft soap av.lb. 2 
 
 Glycerin av.lb. 1 
 
 Oil of turpentine sufficient 
 
 Melt the soft soap in the glycerin 
 with the aid of a gentle heat, and add 
 enough oil of turpentine to give the 
 mixture the consistency of a heavy 
 syrup. 
 
 This should be applied to the entire 
 inner surface of the glass by using 
 cloths saturated with it. A thin film 
 should be left on the glass, and rubbed 
 off and renewed as needed. 
 
 Another plan is to apply diluted alco- 
 hol containing 5 or 10% of glycerin. 
 This will prevent steaming and subse- 
 quent frosting of show windows.
