 TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. 
 
 I N presenting this revised edition of our Catalogue, 
 we desire to express our thanks to our numerous 
 medical friends for their kind and liberal patronage 
 during the past thirty years, which, whilst it has 
 encouraged us, and has contributed much to our suc- 
 cess, has also convinced us that our efforts to pro- 
 duce preparations of uniform and reliable quality 
 only have been appreciated. As it will be our con- 
 stant aim in the future to pursue the same course, 
 keeping pace with the advance of science, we hope 
 to merit the continuance of the confidence and favors 
 of the Medical Profession. 
 
 We desire to call attention to numerous additions 
 to our list of Fluid, Solid and Powdered Extracts, 
 and other pharmaceutical preparations, and specially 
 to our complete list of 
 
 Soluble Hypodermic Tablets, 
 
 Granular Effervescent Salts, 
 
 Compressed Lozenges and Tablets, 
 Soluble Gelatin-Coated and 
 
 Sugar-Coated Pills and Granules, 
 
 comprising all the officinal and many other well- 
 known favorite formulse.i

PREFACE. 
 
 F LUID EXTRACTS, many of which are officinal, 
 are universally acknowledged to be most de- 
 sirable preparations, presenting, when properly pre- 
 pared, the active principles of the various #drugs in 
 a concentrated form, avoiding the contamination of 
 much of the inert vegetable matter on the one hand, 
 and too much menstruum on the other. Our long 
 and extensive experience, and the scrupulous care 
 we take in the selection of genuine drugs of prime 
 quality, as well as in every step of the process of 
 preparing the Extracts from these materials, are a 
 guarantee of the efficacy and reliability of our Fluid 
 Extracts. 
 
 Among the Fluid Extracts will be found a number 
 of new remedies which have lately attracted consid- 
 erable attention, their properties having been ex- 
 tolled in the most emphatic manner by various 
 writers in the medical journals. They will appear, 
 with statement of their medical properties and doses, 
 in the regular alphabetical list of Fluid Extracts. 
 
 It is scarcely necessary to state that the same care 
 is bestowed upon the manufacture of Solid and Pow- 
 dered Extracts and all other preparations manufac- 
 tured by us. 
 
6 PREFACE. 
 
 We call particular attention to the various Elixirs 
 prepared by us, which have become quite favorite 
 remedies with the Medical Profession, and are in very 
 extensive use. These Elixirs have the advantage 
 of presenting the medicinal agent they contain in a 
 most palatable form, whilst we have the testimony 
 of many eminent physicians of their efficacy. The 
 exact quantities of the remedial agents contained 
 in each of them will be found under their several 
 heads, and although their composition will no doubt 
 suggest to the physician a varied application, we 
 have not deemed it forestalling his judgment in 
 naming some of the diseases in which they have 
 been found especially useful. 
 
 Gelatin-Coated and Sugar-Coated Pills 
 and Granules, of which we prepare a full line, 
 are another elegant form of administering medicines. 
 These pills are prepared under our own immediate 
 supervision with the utmost care, and, considering 
 the many years they have been prescribed by phy- 
 sicians in all parts of the country with great efficacy, 
 it is almost superfluous to say that their component 
 drugs are of the best quality, while the dose and 
 subdivision is perfectly accurate. The coating of 
 white sugar, or that of gelatin, which dissolves in a 
 few minutes, is not only unobjectionable, but both 
 enables the patient to swallow nauseous medicines 
 without tasting them, and at the same time effectually 
 protects the pills from deterioration on being kept, 
 by excluding the air from the mass. This fact is

 forcibly demonstrated, for instance, in the various 
 pills containing Phosphorus, which, even after being 
 kept for a long time, will, on being cut open, at once 
 show the unchanged Phosphorus in a fine state of 
 division, whilst the same pills, unprotected by a 
 sugar-coating or gelatin-coating, will soon have all 
 their Phosphorus converted into Phosphorus Acid 
 by oxidation. 
 
 Our Soluble Hypodermic Tablets contain the 
 purest alkaloids, are of accurate strength, and com- 
 bined with a neutral and unirritating base which 
 renders them instantly soluble. 
 
 Our Granular Effervescing- Salts will be 
 found a delightful addition to the resources of the 
 physician. Aside from their medicinal properties, 
 they are a pleasant beverage, and will be found of 
 great service where the remedy, in its ordinary state, 
 could not be tolerated by the patient.

 Fluid Extracts. 
 
 The following list comprises all the Officinal and other Stand- 
 ard Fluid Extracts , including also many new remedies recently 
 brought before the medical profession in the various medical 
 journals. 
 
 We are confident that a trial of our Extracts will convince 
 our patrons of their perfect reliability, the utmost care being 
 observed in selecting drugs of the best quality , and every detail 
 of their manufacture being conducted with skill and care by 
 the most approved methods , so as to secure a thorough repre- 
 sentation of all medicinal properties of the respective drugs in 
 an unchanged condition.

 employed in dropsy and heart disease. Dr. Bubnow, of 
 St. Petersburg, who experimented with the drug, pre-

STANDARD 
 
 Assayed Fluid Extracts, 
 
 REPRESENTING 
 
 One Gramme of the Drug* of Assayed Standard 
 Quality in Each Cubic Centimeter. 
 
 This Special List of Assayed Fluid Extracts includes notably 
 those which owe their activity mainly to the presence of an 
 alkaloid or alkaloids , and can be standardized by assay to a 
 definite percentage of this alkaloid. We also include in this 
 list a few fluid extracts depending on the presence of a definite 
 quantity of Resin as their active constituent. 
 
 The assaying of these drugs is by no means a new feature 
 with us , as we have for many years resorted to assays of the 
 alkaloidal strength of the more important ones , at least , as one 
 of the most reliable means of determining their quality in se- 
 lecting the drugs, and thus securing efficacy and uniformity of 
 strength in our Extracts. 
 
 We omit such fluid extracts as of Rhubarb, Ergot, and of 
 other drugs , the active properties of which are not known to 
 reside in any special proximate principle or principles , and as 
 an arbitrary standard , such as the determination of the per- 
 centage of solid residuum obtained from the extract by evapo- 
 ration, would not indicate the quality of the drug from which 
 the fluid extract is made ; for instance, a very poor article of 
 Rhubarb would furnish as much solid residuum as the finest 
 quality of the drug. In the selection of these drugs, however, 
 the well-known physical properties of a standard article as 
 described in the Pharmacopoeia and other authorities on 
 Materia Medica furnish equally good and reliable criterions 
 to judge of their quality, and drugs selected with care and 
 judgment in this respect cannot fail to produce efficacious and 
 reliable extracts. 
 
 As long experience and a thorough knowledge of our calling 
 enable us to judge intelligently of the quality of drugs, and as 
 we conscientiously use and have always used the most scrupu- 
 lous care in the selection of drugs of standard quality for our 
 preparations, as well as in every step in the manufacture of 
 these preparations, we feel confident our Extracts cannot be 
 excelled for efficacy and reliability, which fact is no doubt 
 known to all who have tried them. 
 
50 ASSAYED FLUID EXTRACTS. 
 
 ACONITE ROOT. 
 
 Standard, 0.75 alkaloid. 10 cc. of this Fluid Extract re- 
 quire for complete precipitation of alkaloid 5.6 cc. of 
 Mayer’s Solution, Normal 1-20. The Extract also answers 
 to the physiological test of Dr. Squibb. 
 
 BELLADONNA LEAVES. 
 
 Standard, 0.4 per cent. Atropine. 10 cc. of the Fluid Ex- 
 tract require 6.2 cc. of Mayer’s Solution N. 1-20 for com- 
 plete precipitation. The alkaloid may also be separated 
 by agitating 10 cc. of the Extract, after addition of a little 
 Ammonia, with successive portions of Chloroform, re- 
 moving the alkaloid from this Chloroform solution by 
 shaking with 5 per cent. Sulphuric Acid, rendering this 
 acid solution again alkaline by addition of Aqua Ammo- 
 nia, and treating this with successive portions of Chloro- 
 form. On evaporating the Chloroform solution, the alka- 
 loid, weighing 0.04 gramme, is obtained. 
 
 BELLADONNA ROOT. 
 
 Standard, 0.5 per cent. Atropine. 10 cc. of the Fluid Ex- 
 tract require for complete precipitation 7.8 cc. of Mayer’s 
 Solution N. 1-20. The alkaloid, obtained from 10 cc. of 
 the Fluid Extract in the same manner as in Belladonna 
 Leaves, should weigh 0.05 gramme. 
 
 BLOODROOT. 
 
 Standard, 1 per cent. Sanguinarina. 10 cc. of this Fluid 
 Extract require for complete precipitation 9 cc. of 
 Mayer’s Solution N. 1-20. To separate the alkaloid, 10 cc. 
 of the extract evaporated to expel the Alcohol after ad- 
 dition of a little HC1 and 10 cc. water, are precipitated 
 with Ammonia. The precipitate redissolved in Hydro- 
 chloric Acid, and reprecipitated with Ammonia, is treated 
 with successive portions of Ether to dissolve the alkaloid, 
 which latter is then obtained on evaporation of the 
 Ethereal Solution, weighing 0.10 gramme. 
 
 CANNABIS INDICA. 
 
 Standard, 10 per cent. Besin. 10 cc. of this Fluid Extract, 
 when concentrated and poured into 20 cc. of water, will

 lution, and agitate with successive portions of 20 cc. each 
 of 5 per cent. Sulphuric Acid. After rendering the mixed 
 acid solutions strongly alkaline with Ammonia, shake 
 with successive portions of 20 cc. of a mixture of Ether 
 3 vol., Chloroform 1 vol. On evaporation of this Ether- 
 Chloroform solution, the total alkaloids are obtained, 
 from which the Quinine may be separated by the process 
 given in the U. S. P. 
 
 * Prollius’ fluid is a mixture consisting of 325 cc. of Stronger 
 
 Ether, 25 cc. Alcohol, 10 cc. Stronger Water of Ammonia.

 addition of Carbonate of Sodium, then transferring it 
 from the Benzine solution into a 1 per cent, solution of 
 Hydrochloric Acid by agitation, and titrating this with a 
 standard solution of Sodium Phosphomolybdate. 
 
 GELSEMIUM. 
 
 The alkaloid contained in 10 cc. of the Fluid Extract 
 requires for complete precipitation 6 cc. of Mayer’s 
 Solution N. 1-20, the precipitate, when dried at 100° C., 
 weighing .113 gramme. 
 
 HENBANE 
 
 Standard, 0.18 per cent, alkaloid. 10 cc. of the Fluid Ex- 
 tract, heated to expel the Alcohol, after the addition of 
 5 cc. of acidulated water, washed with Chloroform to re- 
 move Resin, etc., rendered slightly alkaline with Ammo- 
 nia, and then treated with successive portions of Chloro- 
 form, will yield, on evaporation of the latter, 0.018 gramme 
 of alkaloid. 
 
 IPECAC. 
 
 Standard, 1.75 per cent. Emetine. 10 cc. of this Fluid 
 Extract require for complete precipitation 18.5 cc. of 
 Mayer’s Solution N. 1-20. 
 
 JALAP. 
 
 Standard, 12 per cent, of Resin. 10 cc. of this Fluid Ex- 
 tract, when concentrated and poured into 20 cc. of water, 
 will yield a precipitate which, when washed with water 
 and dried at 100° C., weighs 1.2 grammes. 
 
52 ASSAYED FLUID EXTRACTS. 
 
 MANDRAKE. 
 
 Standard, 4 per cent. Podophyllin. 10 cc. of this Fluid 
 Extract, when concentrated and poured into 20 cc. of 
 water, acidulated with Hydrochloric Acid, will yield a 
 precipitate which, when carefully dried at 100° C., weighs 
 0.4 gramme. 
 
 NUX VOMICA. 
 
 Standard, 1.5 per cent, alkaloid. 10 cc. of this Extract 
 require for complete precipitation 15 cc. of Mayer’s Solu- 
 tion N. 1-20, the precipitate, dried at 100° C., weighing 
 .365 gramme ; or 10 cc. of the Fluid Extract, heated to 
 expel Alcohol, after the addition of a few drops of dil. 
 Sulphuric Acid and 10 cc. of water, washed with Ether, 
 then rendered alkaline with Caustic Soda, and shaken 
 with successive portions of a mixture of Ether 3 vol., 
 Chloroform 1 vol., yield, on evaporation of the latter, 
 0.150 gramme alkaloid. 
 
 STRAMONIUM LEAVES. 
 
 Standard, 0.375 per cent, alkaloid. 10 cc. of this Fluid 
 Extract require 6 cc. of Mayer’s Solution N. 1-20 for com- 
 plete precipitation. By shaking 10 cc. of the Fluid Ex- 
 tract, after addition of a little Ammonia, with successive 
 portions of Chloroform, removing the alkaloid from this 
 Chloroform solution by agitating with 5 per cent. Sul- 
 phuric Acid, rendering this acid solution again alkaline 
 by addition of Aqua Ammonia, shaking this with succes- 
 sive portions of Chloroform, and finally evaporating the 
 Chloroform solution, the alkaloid is obtained, weighing 
 0.0375 gramme. 
 
 STRAMONIUM SEED. 
 
 Standard, 0.375 per cent, alkaloid. 10 cc. require for com- 
 plete precipitation 6 cc. of Mayer’s Solution N. 1-20. 
 Process for separating the alkaloid same as above. 
 
 VERATRUM VIRIDE. 
 
 T The alkaloids contained in this Fluid Extract require for 
 complete precipitation 6 cc. of Mayer’s Solution N. 1-20. 
 
 1 should be borne in mind that the Alcohol contained 
 in Fluid Extracts should be driven off on a water-bath , after 
 the addition of a little dilute acid , before Mayer's reagent is 
 applied. 
 
Solid Extracts. 
 
 The following embraces a list of the most important Solid 
 
 Extracts , with the doses attached, 
 
 , their medical properties 
 
 being enumerated under the head of Fluid Extracts. In the 
 
 manufacture of these Extracts the concentration is effected at 
 
 a very low temperature to avoid any injury to the active con- 
 
 stituents, and their quality will be found unexceptional.

Powdered Extracts. 
 
 These powdered Extracts are fully equal in strength to the 
 pilular Extracts , and are prepared by drying the latter at a 
 low temperature and compensating for the loss of weight, caused 
 by the evaporation of moisture, with the respective powdered 
 drugs and in some instances with powdered Sugar of Milk, thus 
 bringing the powdered Extract again up to the original weight 
 of the pilular Extract. 
 
 As these powdered Extracts readily absorb moisture , they 
 should invariably be kept securely corked.

 U. S. Pharmacopoeia of 1880, and are in fact powdered Ex- 
 tracts , representing in all cases two parts of the respective 
 drug in one part of the Abstract. 
 
 The following comprises a list of the officinal abstracts only , 
 but we can furnish those of other drugs , prepared in the same 
 manner and proportion , when wanted, As the abstracts are 
 liable to absorb moisture , they should be Kept in well-corked

 Resinoids. 
 
 The following comprises a list of the proximate medicinal 
 principles commonly known as Resinoids or Concentrations. 
 Whilst some of these represent a pure resin and others an im- 
 pure alkaloid , by far the greater number are a combination 
 of the various active proximate principles contained in the 
 drug which they represent. 
 
 Owing to the liability of these preparations to absorb 
 moisture , they should be kept securely closed and in a cool 
 place.

 SOLUBIiE 
 
 SUGAR-COATED PILLS and GRANULES, 
 
 These Pills, comprising all the officinal and other well-known 
 favorite formulae, are all prepared with the utmost care, 
 under our immediate supervision. The drugs entering 
 into their composition being of the hest quality, the quan- 
 tities and proportions being invariably as represented 
 on the labels, and the excipients used to make the masses 
 having been carefully chosen, in each case, to make the Pill 
 perfectly soluble in the fluids of the stomach and 
 bowels, we feel confident that the full medicinal effect will 
 always be produced by them when administered, whilst the 
 coating will be found very soluble and not excelled by 
 any other in point of beauty and finish. 
 
 Gelatin-Coated Pills are furnished oval only. 
 
 Sugar-Coated Pills are furnished round only. 
 
 Special Recipes for Sugar-Coated Pills are made and 
 coated to order when not less than 3000 Pills are 
 ordered at one time. 
 
 Gelatin-Coated Pills can be prepared in lots of 1000 
 or more. 
 
 In ordering please specify Sharp & Dohme’s (or S.

 A combination introduced by us and found in practice to 
 possess superior advantages over other similar formulae. 
 The well-known mild action of Aloin on the lower portion 
 of the intestinal canal, and its power of stimulating the 
 hepatic functions (Rutherford & Vignal), is supplemented 
 by the action of Ipecac as a stomachic tonic and by in- 
 creasing tlje gastric secretions (Bartholow) ; the Belladonna 
 
GELATIN-COATED AND SUGAR-COATED PILLS.

 acts specially upon the involuntary muscular fibres of the 
 bowels, increasing peristalsis, diminishing the harshness and 
 at the same time increasing the effectiveness of the laxative. 
 The general tonic effect of Strychnine upon the stomach 
 and bowels and its direct action upon the sympathetic make 
 it a valuable addition in the permanent cure of habitual con- 
 stipation and atonic dyspepsia. 
 
 This brief statement of the physiological action of the in- 
 gredients of these pills is amply borne out by practical 
 experience. They have been found to act most kindly and 
 effectively by thousands of practitioners. So remarkable 
 and uniform has been the efficacy of these pills, that we feel 
 assured that they will continue to sustain the high reputa- 
 tion now established. 
 
 They recommend themselves to the patient by their minute 
 size and their tastelessness, being coated with gelatin or 
 with pure sugar, while they are perfectly soluble. 
 
 We guarantee the quality of the ingredients and their 
 proper subdivision, and can safely recommend the Lapactic 
 Pills as an efficient agent. 
 
 Since we first called attention to our Lapactic Pills — 
 some four years ago — publishing the composition of 
 the same, a number of manufacturers have adopted 
 the same formula and have furnished these pills under 
 the same name. Should Physicians fail to obtain satis- 
 factory results from Lapactic Pills not of our make 
 (and we have received a large number of such com- 
 plaints from physicians by letter), we shall be glad to 
 furnish a sample of our Lapactic Pills on application. 
 We feel confident that they will fully substantiate 
 our claims. 
 
 Please use the term “LAPACTIC PILLS, S. & D.’s,” 
 when prescribing these pills. Dose One to two pills on 
 going to bed.

GRANULAR EFFERVESCENT SALTS. 
 
 Ill 
 
 GEANULAE EFFEEVESCENT SALTS. 
 
 Among the many improvements and advances in the beauty 
 andpalatability of pharmaceutical preparations, these delight- 
 ful effervescent salts stand pre-eminent. Not only is the 
 remedy presented in a form that will not offend the most 
 fastidious palate , but it is given in a perfectly soluble state , so 
 as to develop its peculiar properties and virtues in the shortest 
 possible time. 
 
 AMMONIUM BROMIDE. 
 
 This salt resembles the Potassium Bromide in its physio- 
 logical powers, except that it is less depressing- and, it is 
 claimed, will not produce bromism. Each drachm or 
 heaping teaspoonful contains 2 grains of Ammonium 
 Bromide. Dose, heaping tea- or tablespoonful. 
 
 BISMUTH CITRATE. 
 
 Combining the sedative qualities of the Bismuth upon 
 the gastric surface with solubility. Each drachm con- 
 tains 2 grains Ammon. Citrate of Bismuth. Dose, 1 to 2 
 teaspoonfuls. 
 
 CAFFEINE CITRATE.

 drachm contains 1 grain Caffeine Citrate. Dose, dessert- 
 spoonful. 
 
 CAFFEINE HYDROBROMATE. 
 
 A most valuable remedy and potent addition to the re- 
 sources of the practitioner. Caffeine, the active principle 
 of coffee, tea and guarana, is one of the best of nervous 
 stimulants, producing a sense of mental and bodily vigor. 
 Bromine, combined as hydrobromic acid, allays undue 
 excitement of the nervous system. In practice the com- 
 bination of the two has produced most beneficial results. 
 Headache from various causes, such as fatigue, over- 
 exertion of mind, disordered stomach, nervous depression 
 or anxiety, and the periodical headaches of ladies, are all 
 promptly relieved by its use. Sick headache is relieved

 The very important improvements consist of the movable 
 cap a, which opens the entire calibre of the barrel and aHows 
 the easy introduction of our soluble tablets, and a solution 
 for immediate use is readily made by adding 10 m. water. 
 Then the solid and securely fastened wing-plate affords a 
 firm hold and perfect command of the syringe, and a simple 
 but effectual arrangement for expanding and tightening the 
 plunger, which will prevent it from ever becoming loose. 
 
 In the syringe furnished in the Morocco Case No. 1, Metal 
 Case No. 2, and Flexible Case No. 4, the plunger is expanded 
 by turning the piston rod to the left. The reverse takes 
 place on turning to the right. 
 
 In the syringe furnished in the Metal Case No. 3, explicit 
 directions regarding the plunger-expanding arrangement 
 (which is different from the syringes furnished in Nos. 1, 2 
 and 4 Cases) accompany each syringe. 
 
 Our syringes are packed either in an oblong leather-covered 
 case — (Fig. 1)— 3M inches long, 1 % inches wide, containing, 
 besides the syringe and two needles, two tubes of our 
 soluble tablets ; or in a flat nickel-plated metal case— (Fig.

HYPODERMIC MEDICATION.

 A BRIEF SUMMARY OF HYPODERMIC MEDI- 
 CATION, AND ITS ADVANTAGES. 
 
 Hypodermic medication has been used now for about 
 twenty-five years— a period sufficient to thoroughly test its 
 value and uses, and to bring the performance of it to a high 
 state of efficiency and accuracy. The following very brief 
 and condensed account is offered in the hope that it will be 
 found of use to the busy practitioner, and may prove sugges- 
 tive in some emergency when time does not allow the con- 
 sultation of some more elaborate treatise. To those who 
 desire more fully to enter into this subject, the full and 
 comprehensive work of Prof. Roberts Bartholow, 4 edit. 1882, 
 will give information up to that date. 
 
 The advantages of administering remedies by this method 
 are : 1st. A more prompt and speedy effect is produced ; in- 
 deed, the effects of active remedies thrown into the connec- 
 tive tissue under the skin are perceived almost instanta- 
 neously. (In this connection , it would be well to bear in mind 
 the advice of Prof. Dujardin-Beaumetz, of Paris , France. 
 He states that in cases of nephritic disease , all medicines given 
 by the mouth , and much more so when given hypodermically , 
 are apt to show greater activity than usual , and that the phy- 
 sician should be on his guard in using powerful agents where 
 nephritic disability is suspected or ascertained.) 2d. The re- 
 sults are more permanent and curative. In the case of 
 neuralgia, for example, remedies are often given without 
 effect, and for some time, when their hypodermic use has 
 promptly wrought a cure. A very simple explanation of 
 this is found in the fact that many remedies themselves 
 undergo changes when brought in contact with the gastric 
 juice, and even if not altered, their absorption is necessarily 
 slow ; consequently they do not make that forcible impres- 
 sion which is made when they are given hypodermically. 3d. 
 Gastric disturbances are avoided. Remedies do not interfere 
 with a digestion often already enfeebled. 4th, and finally, 
 remedies can be administered to persons unable or unwilling 
 to swallow— as in the case of unconsciousness from narcotic 
 poisons, persons with suicidal intent, or the mentally de- 
 ranged. 
 
HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 
 
 127 
 
 Various objections have been made to this method ; but 
 when these are examined they will be found to depend on 
 imperfect instruments, badly prepared medicinal agents, or 
 an improper introduction of the medicinal agent. 1st. The 
 instrument should be kept clean and in good working order ; 
 the needle-points sharp and free from rust. 2d. The solution 
 for injection should be freshly prepared, and of medicinal 
 agents of undoubted purity and strength. 3d. The injection 
 must be made under the skin into the connective tissue. A 
 failure to observe one or all of these conditions may involve 
 the formation of abscesses, or even serious systemic effects. 
 Dangerous results have followed the injection of some pow- 
 erful remedy into a vein, but a little care on the part of the 
 operator will avoid any such accident. 
 
 The instrument itself has been made of various materials 
 and modified in many ways since its first use. There is no 
 one substance presenting all the qualities needed to form an 
 ideally perfect hypodermic syringe ; the one combining- 
 most of these qualities is glass, and its single disadvantage 
 of fragility has been successfully overcome by enclosing the 
 glass barrel in a bi-fenestrated cylinder of metal. An in- 
 strument thus made has the advantage of not being acted 
 upon by any agents likely to be used subcutaneously ; of 
 being transparent to allow of the inspection of its contents, 
 and of being easily kept clean. The needles should be of 
 finely tempered steel, with needle-point and sharp cutting 
 edges, so as readily to pierce the integument without any 
 bruising. Care should be taken that they are kept free from 
 rust, and that the entire syringe is regularly cleansed after 
 use and before being placed in its case. This can be done by 
 drawing in and forcing out several times a little clean water ; 
 unscrewing the needle and carefully wiping the point dry 
 between the fingers ; the small quantity of sebaceous matter 
 from the skin being sufficient to prevent it from rusting. A 
 fine wire should then be inserted to keep the tube of the 
 needle open. Very great improvements have lately been 
 added in furnishing what are called wings to the syringe, 
 giving a firm hold and complete control of the instrument ; 
 and in making the lower cap movable, exposing the whole 
 calibre of the barrel and allowing the introduction of a tab- 
 let, thus making a solution in the syringe. 
 
 The operation of injection is a very simple one. The place 
 chosen for its performance is usually the outer side of the 
 arm, but any convenient place will answer. Some authorities 
 prefer injecting at or near the seat of pain, rnflamed tissues 
 
HYPODERMIC MEDICATION.

 and bony prominences should be avoided. The place' being- 
 determined, a fold of loose skin is pinched up between the 
 thumb and finger of the left hand. The syringe being charged, 
 the needle is thrust in promptly, penetrating the skin. This 
 will be recognized by the cessation of resistance, and the 
 point of the needle will now move freely in the connective 
 tissue. The needle should pass in an inch or more. The 
 piston is now slowly pushed home, making the injection 
 drop by drop, so that the fluid may diffuse itself in the 
 areolar tissue without rupturing any small vessels or the 
 fibres of the areolar tissue. When all has been injected, 
 withdraw the needle slowly and press the puncture with the 
 tip of a finger for a few moments to prevent the escape of the 
 fluid. Gentle friction with the tips of the fingers disperses 
 the injected fluid in the cellular tissue and aids its prompt 
 absorption, and also tends to prevent local irritation. In 
 cases of paralysis, some inject directly into a muscle. Prof. 
 Bartholow, “Hypodermatic Medication,” p. 44, says: “In 
 practising the hypodermatic injection it is important to avoid 
 puncturing a vein. Serious depression of the powers of life, 
 fainting, and sudden and profound narcotism have been pro- 
 duced by injecting a solution of morphia directly into a 
 vein.* Fatal collapse might be induced by injecting air into 
 a large vein along with the solution.” This latter may be 
 avoided by driving all the air out of the syringe, after charg- 
 ing it, by holding the syringe with the needle-point up and 
 gently pushing the piston until a drop of fluid exudes. 
 
 The active agent to be injected subcutaneously should be 
 in perfect solution. The solution itself should be neutral 
 (4. e. neither acid nor alkaline), clear and free from foreign 
 matter, and not too concentrated. The difficulty of fulfilling 
 these conditions has in the past very materially hindered 
 the more general use of this method of treatment. But com- 
 paratively a very few years ago many of the alkaloids were 
 to be had only as bases, and were more or less insoluble with- 
 out the addition of some acid, and the slightest excess of the 
 latter caused intense local irritation. When this had been 
 overcome, after a clear, neutral solution had been made, it 
 
 * Mr. J. Craig Balfour, in the London Lancet for November 1(M, 
 1888, gives a test of the occurrence of penetration of a vein, which if 
 borne in mind may prevent serious consequences. It is the instanta- 
 neous supervention of a prickling sensation in all parts of the patient" 1 s 
 surface . Remembering this fact and making the injection slowly, the 
 needle may be withdrawn on its occurrence before any serious harm 
 ensues . 
 
HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 129 
 
 was found impossible to preserve it in this state for even a 
 short time. It was found that even after a few days a solu- 
 tion of morphine which had been carefully filtered and was 
 perfectly clear had become cloudy. This was owing to the 
 growth of a microscopic organism, the Penicilium ; and ex- 
 perience proved that this not only grew at the expense of 
 the alkaloid, thus weakening the strength of the solution, 
 but that it proved also to be a local irritant when injected 
 into the tissues, resulting frequently in abscess. From time 
 to time various means were devised to obviate this difficulty, 
 but none proved effectual until the soluble hypodermic 
 tablets were made. These, when properly prepared, solve 
 the problem most satisfactorily. They should be quickly 
 and entirely soluble, perfectly neutral, and the excipient 
 combined with the alkaloid should be bland and unirritating. 
 Made in this manner they are a great boon to the profession, 
 since they reduce the dose to a mathematical accuracy, 
 which was formerly very often a matter of conjecture, when 
 a solution had to be carried about. The alkaloid is effectually 
 preserved in the tablet from deterioration, and the latter 
 presents an accurate and definite dose, of which a solution 
 can be made fresh, and almost instantaneously, when needed. 
 Their portability and compactness are not the least among 
 their good qualities. The practitioner can now go armed 
 with a dozen hypodermic remedies, which will not deteri- 
 orate by keeping, and which do not occupy any more space 
 than formerly the vial containing a solution of morphine 
 alone did. 
 
 Prof. Bartholow, p. 59, says : “A 4 hypodermic tablet ’ . . . . 
 is conveniently carried, and, as regards liability to accident, 
 is much superior to any permanent solution. Since I have 
 adopted the method of extemporaneous solutions, I have not 
 had occur the hard nodules and the points of suppuration 
 * and sloughing which were not infrequent when permanent 
 solutions were employed.” 
 
 Remedies used hypodermically are much more active 
 than when given by the mouth. 
 
 The general rule is to give one-tliird less than given by 
 the mouth to produce the same impression. As some persons 
 exhibit peculiar susceptibilities to certain remedies, it would 
 be well to inject a small dose tentatively where the idiosyn- 
 crasy of the patient is not known. 
 
130 HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 
 
 APOMORPHEVE used hypodermically is indispensable 
 as an emetic in cases of narcotic poisoning. It acts 
 freely when all emetics given by the mouth fail. It has 
 also been used in capillary bronchitis to free the tubes 
 of secretion, and in croup to dislodge the false membrane. 
 
 AMYL NITRITE is usually best given by inhalation, but 
 where respiration is about ceasing, as in cases of angina 
 pectoris , chloroform narcosis , surgical shock , cholera as- 
 phyxia , etc., etc., it may prove of immense utility when 
 injected hypodermically. 
 
 ARSENIC has been successfully used in chorea , lympha- 
 denoma , enlarged spleen and in splenic leucocythemia. 
 Excellent results have also been obtained in chronic skin 
 diseases, as psoriasis and eczema. The best form is 
 sodium arseniate, which is less likely to produce the 
 toxic effects of arsenic than any other, and is less 
 irritant locally. 
 
 ATROPINE is principally used in combination with mor- 
 phine, and as its physiological antagonist. It has been 
 used to advantage by hypodermic injection in acute 
 rheumatism near the painful joint, in epilepsy , and asthma 
 with marked results. Seasickness and vomiting of preg- 
 nancy are relieved by it; the algid state of cholera; 
 diseases of the bladder. Atropine is also the antagonist 
 to pilocarpine, muscarine and eserine, and may be used 
 to combat the toxic effects of these, as well as of mor- 
 phine or opium. In treating a case of poisoning by 
 atropine, it should be remembered that its effects on 
 the economy last longer than those of morphine, so that, 
 in giving the latter as an antidote, it may be necessary 
 to repeat the dose of morphine. 
 
 CAFFEINE has been used in neuralgia , hysterical head- 
 ache , and migraine. Dr. Anstie relieved by it the in- 
 somnia attendant upon chronic alcoholism without 
 delirium. It has also been used with success against 
 opium narcosis. 
 
 CARBOLIC ACID used hypodermically as a 2 per cent, 
 solution has produced excellent results in erysipelas , 
 and in other diseases supposed to depend on morbific^ 
 ferments. It has also been used in pleuro-pneumonia, 
 in synovitis , white swelling , adenoma , bubo , fibroma, etc. 
 It has afforded great relief in acute rheumatism , in 
 chronic rheumatism , myalgia , superficial neuralgia, etc. 
 
 CHLORAL HYDRATE causes much local irritation and 
 pain when injected under the skin — so much so that its 
 use is restricted to cases in which the stomach cannot 
 bear the remedy, or where the patient is unable or 
 unwilling to swallow. It has proved useful in poisoning 
 by strychnine, uncontrollable vomiting , obstinate hiccough , 
 in violent cholera morbus , and in true cholera. In the 
 latter Prof. Bartholow had the best results from its use. 
 It has also proved beneficial in asthma and other neuroses 
 of the chest, but care must be exercised lest a fatal result 
 is produced by paralysis of a weak heart. 
 
HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 
 
 131 
 
 CHLOROFORM is not adapted for ordinary hypodermic 
 use, but has been used with great success in many cases 
 of obstinate neuralgia , sciaticti, etc., by a deep injection, 
 by Prof. Bartholow. For details, see his work on “ Hypo- 
 dermatic Medication,” fourth edition, 1882, p. 288, etc. 
 
 COCAINE is principally used subcutaneously for producing 
 local anaesthesia in minor surgical operations, etc. For 
 this purpose it is injected into the areolar tissue as near 
 to the seat of operation as possible. Also injected into 
 the gum for drawing teeth. Recently Bignon found that 
 animals poisoned by strychnine can be saved by the 
 hypodermic injection of cocaine pushed to the point of 
 delirium, and the elfect maintained for some time. He 
 found they could be saved by this means even after the 
 occurrence of tetanic spasms. See Medical News , De- 
 cember 25th, 1886. 
 
 CODEINE may be used hypodermically as a substitute 
 for morphine, but has no advantages except where a 
 special hypnotic action is desired, as in mama, hypo- 
 chondria , and delirium tremens. It has proved of great 
 use in diabetes. 
 
 CONINE has been used in asthma , emphysema , angina pec- 
 toris, tetanus , and in acute mania. 
 
 CURARINE or WOORARINE has been used in tetanus 
 with some success. It has also been used in epilepsy and 
 in hydrophobia with reported success. 
 
 DUBOISINE maybe substituted for atropine in all diseases 
 where the latter is now used. Prof. Bartholow is of 
 opinion that it is to be preferred to atropine, and gives 
 it as his experience that it is much more effective in 
 psychical disorders. 
 
 ERGOT hypodermically is available for hemorrhages in 
 general; especially useful in haemoptysis, subinvolution 
 of the uterus, chronic metritis, intramural fibroids, polypi 
 and hydatid mole of uterus, hypertrophied prostate, vari- 
 cocele, aneurism, varicose veins,enlarged spleen, leukaemia, 
 exophthalmic goitre, acute affections of the meninges of 
 the brain and spinal cord, cerebro-spinal meningitis , con- 
 gestive form of migraine and headache, sunstroke, tic dou- 
 loureux, hemicrania, and sometimes in sciatica. 
 
 In all these various diseases. Ergot has been used hypo- 
 dermically either in the form of Fluid Extract or tablets 
 of Ergotin. To both of these there are objections. The 
 Fluid Extract as ordinarily prepared contains much inert 
 and irritating extractive, and this in the comparatively 
 large dose required is apt to cause pain and local irri- 
 tation. The Ergotin Tablets cannot be made stronger 
 than 1-10 gr. if they are to be readily soluble, and this 
 amount is too small to produce enough therapeutic 
 effect. These objections have been altogether overcome 
 by Ergotole, our new preparation of Ergot of Rye 
 specially made for hypodermic use by a new process; 
 representing all the active principles of Ergot in a very 
 concentrated form, and entirely free from all inert and 
 irritating constituents. 
 
132 HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 
 
 ERGOTOLE used hypodermically causes neither pain nor 
 abscess, and keeps perfectly without precipitation for 
 any length of time. Tt has -been extensively tried in 
 hospital and private practice, hypodermically and ad- 
 ministered by the mouth, proving uniformly efficacious, 
 and it has been pronounced the most efficient preparation 
 of Ergot in use. 
 
 Each minim will produce the full therapeutic effects 
 of about 2 % grains of the best Spanish Ergot. 
 
 Dose, 5 to 20 minims hypodermically. 
 
 (See page 180.) 
 
 ESERINE or PHYSOSTIGMI^E has been of great 
 utility in tetanus , the proportion of recoveries to deaths 
 being one-half. It should be given hypodermically and 
 in quantities sufficient to keep the spasms in check, and 
 sufficient nourishment must be given. It has also been 
 used in hydrophobia , in bronchitis , pulmonary congestion 
 and pneumonia. 
 
 ETHER may be employed subcutaneously with great ad- 
 vantage in cases of sudden depression of the powers of 
 life, as in the bites of venomous snakes , surgical shock , 
 Asiatic cholera , the passage of biliary or renal calculi ; in 
 the action of arterial sedatives, as aconite, veratrum 
 viride. etc. Also in cardiac failure from hemorrhage. It 
 has proved of great benefit in cases of severe adynamic 
 pneumonia , and in variola It should never be used in 
 the chloroform narcosis. Whiskey or brandy may be 
 used hypodermically in cases of sudden depression of 
 the powers of life, but not in the chloroform narcosis. 
 They are more likely to be conveniently at hand in 
 sudden emergencies than ether, but are more apt to be 
 followed by local inflammation and abscess. 
 
 HYDROCYANIC ACID may be given subcutaneously with 
 advantage in mental disorders , gastralgia , nausea and 
 vomiting. 
 
 HYOSCINE (Merck’s) is derived from the decomposition of 
 Hyoscyamine, and is said to possess the sedative and 
 hypnotic properties of Hyoscyamine in a much higher 
 degree, and may be used in its stead. Erb (Centralblatt 
 fur die ges. Ther.), January, 1888, states that this is a 
 powerful hypnotic, frequently producing immediate 
 sleep and when all other remedies had failed. He found 
 it especially useful in irritable conditions of the motor 
 system. It had a decided effect in the tremor of paralysis 
 agitans, and afforded relief in cases of severe and obsti- 
 nate spasm of single- or groups of muscles. 
 
 HYOSCYAMINE is of high value in mental disorders , 
 paralysis agitans , chorea , mercurial trembling , senile 
 trembling , spasmodic cough , laryngismus , hiccough.

 133 
 
 MERCURY, in the form of corrosive chloride, by the 
 
 hypodermic method is used in syphilis , and with the 
 greatest advantage ; also in some forms of chronic Skin 
 diseases. Corrosive chloride of mercury generally causes 
 some pain when used subcutaneously, but with a solution 
 not too concentrated, with a clean syringe and sharp 
 cutting needle without rust, there is no danger of an 
 abscess. 
 
 MORPH I1VE alone or combined with Atropine has proved 
 useful in diseases of the brain and nervous system , delirium 
 tremens , cerebro-spinal meningitis , sunstroke , hysteria , 
 epilepsy , eclampsia , uraemic convulsions , chorea , tetanus , 
 hydrophobia , muscular cramp and spasm , neuralgia. Also 
 in asthma , emphysema , hiccough , acwie inflammatory 
 affections of the respiratory organs , angina pectoris , dys- 
 pepsia, schirrus, cholera , vomiting of pregnancy , colic , 
 peritonitis , affections of the bladder and urethra , after- 
 pains in childbirth , the nocturnal pains in acute rheu- 
 matism and tertiary syphilis ; in certain surgical diseases , 
 especially fractures and dislocations , strangulated hernia ; 
 as an aid to chloroform narcosis , and in poisoning by bella- 
 donna or atropine, by gelsemium, and by veratrum viride. 
 
 As Morphine is by far the most frequently used sub- 
 cutaneously of the alkaloids, and its range of usefulness 
 is very large, it is well to bear in mind that a larger dose 
 can be given combined with atropine, since the latter is a 
 powerful excitant of the centre of respiration, which is 
 depressed by large doses of morphine, and a fatal issue 
 may result in consequence of paralysis of this centre. 
 The desirable effects of morphine are increased by the 
 addition of atropine, while the toxic effects are counter- 
 acted. 
 
 Should toxic symptoms be induced by the use of mor- 
 phine, they should be met with a subcutaneous injection 
 of atropine. The head of the patient should be low, all 
 restrictions to free respiration removed, ammonia placed 
 to the nostrils. Subsequently caffeine may be given 
 hypodermically. Artificial respiration and the faradic 
 current to the muscles of the chest may be used. The 
 injection of ammonia into the veins, and the inhalation 
 of amyl nitrite or its injection subcutaneously, have 
 proved of benefit. 
 
 NICOTINE has been successful in tetanus. About one half 
 the traumatic cases treated with it recover. The officinal 
 wine of tobacco may be substituted for the alkaloid. 
 
 NITROGLYCERIN. — This powerful agent gives imme- 
 diate relief in angina pectoris , asthma , threatening death 
 in chloroform narcosis , all cases of heart failure , in abort- 
 ing incipient chills, cases of collapse, surgical shock, 
 and may prove of great benefit in threatening gangrene 
 of the extremities. (See our special circular on Nitro- 
 glycerin.) 
 
 Nitroglycerin in doses of 1-50 gr. hypodermically has 
 lately been successfully used in poisoning by illumi- 
 nating gas. Four moribund cases are known to have been 
 quickly relieved. The injection should be repeated 
 every hour or two until an impression is made on the 
 pulse. 
 
134 HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 
 
 PIIiOCARPIJVE has been advantageously used in mumps 
 and acute affections of the parotid , submaxillary and sub- 
 lingual glands , acute tonsilitis. Has afforded relief in the 
 metastasis of mumps, obstinate hiccough , hoarseness , bron- 
 chitis, bronchorrhoea , asthma, emphysema , cardiac dropsy, 
 dropsy of acute albuminuria, eclampsia, effusion into cavi- 
 ties . To cut short an ague chill. 
 
 It may be administered either as nitrate or muriate. 
 
 Q,UINI]YE has been used subcutaneously with great advan- 
 tage in pernicious fever, in malarial fevers attended with 
 gastric irritation, in chronic malarial poisoning, to abort 
 recent malarial fevers ; combined with a small dose of 
 morphine it has proved very useful in typhoid fever. It 
 has also been used very successfully in India in the 
 treatment of sunstroke. Finally, some cases of neuralgia 
 have been cured by its means. The form best adapted to 
 hypodermic use is the quinma bi-muriatica carbamidata, 
 which produces no local irritation. (See our special cir- 
 cular on Bimuriate of Quinine and Urea.) 
 
 STRYCHNINE injected under the skin has proved highly 
 beneficial in the treatment of paralysis, especially in 
 hemiplegia, paraplegia, infantile paralysis, local paraly- 
 sis , progressive muscular atrophy, progressive locomotor 
 ataxia, facial paralysis, gastralgia, cardiac neuralgia , 
 amaurosis, amblyopia. In the misty vision produced by 
 the abusive use of tobacco, strychnine has been found 
 to be of the greatest advantage in restoring strength to 
 the optic nerve. 
 
 Dr. Echeverria remarks : “ The effects of strychnia are 
 widely different when administered hypodermically or 
 by the mouth. A smaller dose exhibited hypodermically 
 may be capable of regenerating at once the lost muscular 
 power.” 
 
 A Russian physician states that hypodermic injections 
 of 1-40 gr. strychnine given at intervals of 24 hours for 
 8 or 10 days consecutively will cure alcoholism, producing 
 an absolute disgust for the taste or smell of alcoholic 
 liquids. 
 
 Prof. Thos. J. Mays, in a lecture at Philadelphia Poly- 
 clinic, recommends strychnine combined with atropine 
 for the cure of asthma. He says : “ It must not be for- 
 gotten, however, that a general lowering of the nerve 
 tone of the body is often as much the cause of disease in 
 other organs as it is of asthma in the lungs, and hence by 
 invigorating the nervous system the asthma as well as 
 its concomitants disappear.” He begins by injecting 1-50 
 gr. strychnine and 1-150 gr. atropine daily, gradually in- 
 creasing the former to 1-20 gr. and the latter to 1-100 gr. 
 After a thorough impression is made the drugs are only 
 injected every other day, and then gradually abandoned. 
 He says : “ I have been using it daily in treating asthma 
 during the last six months, and I believe with more 
 prompt and more definite results than can be obtained 
 from any other drugs.”— N. Y. Med. Journ., April 12, 1890.

 * These Tablets consist of the pure drug compressed. The 
 ready decomposition of the Permanganate of Potassium 
 renders it necessary to be exceedingly careful in its prepa- 
 ration. In this form it is best preserved unchanged and 
 most readily administered. A solution, if desired, can be 
 made with pure water. 
 
ANTISEPTIC DISKS. 137 
 
 SHARP & DOHME’S 
 
 ANTISEPTIC DISKS. 
 
 (FOR EXTERNAL USE.) 
 
 Convenient for quickly making; Solutions of Corrosive 
 Sublimate of known and accurate strength, for 
 Antiseptic and Disinfectant Purposes. 
 
 The attention of the medical profession is called to these 
 Compressed Antiseptic Disks, each composed of 7.3 grains 
 Corrosive Sublimate and 7.7 grains Ammonium Chloride, 
 which, when dissolved in 1 pint of water, will give a solution 
 of 1 part Corrosive Sublimate to 1000 parts water. Sufficient 
 green coloring matter of neutral and innocuous properties 
 is added to render them distinctive and prevent mistake. 
 The Ammonium Chloride is added to facilitate solution and 
 prevent decomposition of the Corrosive Sublimate when dis- 
 solved in ordinary well or spring water. Their use was first 
 suggested by Dr , Charles Meigs Wilson, in the Medical News 
 of December 27th, 1884, who says : “ To those medical men 
 who desire to use this, the safest and best antiseptic agent, 
 the tablets [disks] will prove of great use ; they save the 
 carrying about of bulky solutions; they make a solution 
 which is mathematically correct as to its strength ; they 
 eliminate an element of danger, because the physician can 
 carry the tablets about with him, making and using the 
 solution when required, and throwing the unused portion 
 away, thus avoiding the necessity of leaving a dangerous 
 poison in the hands of irresponsible and ignorant people, or 
 the necessity of bringing his solution at each visit ; they will 
 also be of use as a means of preparing disinfectant solutions, 
 as a large amount of disinfecting material can be obtained 
 in this way in a compact form.” 
 
MEDICINAL LOZENGES.

 Solutions of any desired strength can be made by varying 
 the number of disks or the quantity of water. Thus, 
 
 1 disk to % pint water gives a proportion of 1 to 500. 
 
 1 disk to 1 pint water, 1 to 1000. 
 
 1 disk to 1% pints water, 1 to 1500. 
 
 1 disk to 2 pints water, 1 to 2000. 
 
 It is generally conceded that Corrosive Sublimate is the 
 most efficient and powerful germicide known, and, when 
 kept convenient in this portable and eligible form, many 
 occasions for its use will suggest themselves. The accou- 
 cheur will find them indispensable, both during childbirth 
 and in the puerperal state. The general practitioner will 
 use them for disinfecting the stools of typhoid fever, the 
 secretions from cases of diphtheria, etc. 
 
 They are put up in bottles of 25 each.

 ALKALINE AND ANTISEPTIC 
 TABLETS 
 
 As suggested by Dr. CARL SEILER. 
 
 Each tablet containing Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Sali- 
 cylate, Sodium Biborate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Benzo- 
 ate, Thymol, Menthol, Eucalyptol, Oil Gaultheria. 
 
 Useful in nasal catarrh and inflamed mucous membranes, 
 as an antiseptic spray and mouth wash. For nasal applica- 
 tions, dissolve one tablet in two fluidounces of water, and 
 use as a spray or wash, to be sniifed up the nose morning 
 and night. 
 
 As a mouth wash, use a solution of the same strength, and 
 apply with a soft tooth brush, or rinse the mouth thoroughly 
 several times a day. It is a valuable antiseptic and deter- 
 gent ; especially in stomatitis and retraction of the gums, it 
 will prove an excellent remedy. 
 
TABLET TRITURATES. 
 
 146 
 
 Tablet Triturates. 
 
 PREPARED ACCORDING TO DR. ROBT. M. FULLER’S METHOD. 
 
 (See Medical Record , March 9, 1878.) 
 
 “An easy, economical and accurate method of dispensing 
 medicines in a compact and palatable form.” 
 
 These tablets consist of the respective medicinal ingredient 
 and pure Sugar of Milk , thoroughly mixed and incorporated 
 together by trituration. 
 
 Only the purest materials are used in their manufacture. 
 
 The obvious advantages of this mode of dispensing medicines 
 are: 
 
 The thoroughness of the subdivision of the medicinal ingre- 
 dient attained by protracted trituration with pure Sugar of 
 Milk , and the consequent accuracy of dose. 
 
 The ready solubility or diffusibility of the tablets in water 
 and in the fluids of the stomach. 
 
 The elegance of this form of tablet and the convenience 
 afforded for readily and accurately dispensing small doses of 
 potent remedies. 
 
 The usual dose of Tablet Triturates is one , repeated as 
 often as the judgment of the physician deems necessary. 
 
 Special formulae made to order in lots of 1000 or more.

 TONIC HYPOPHOSPHITES. 
 
 We call particular attention to our Syrup Tonic Hypo- 
 phosphites, prepared according to the formula: Potas- 
 sium Hypophosphite IX grains, Iron Hypophosphite 1 % 
 grains, Manganese Hypophosphite 1 grain, Calcium Hy- 
 pophosphite 1 grain, Quinine Hypophosphite X grain, 
 Strychnine Hypophosphite 1-16 grain in each fluidounce, 
 of which 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls are given at a dose. This 
 combination has proved of immense value in the hands 
 of practitioners in the treatment of atonic and cachectic 
 conditions, as in the tubercular and strumous diatheses, 
 in general debility and nervous exhaustion ; in fine, as a 
 restorative and tonic generally. It is a true constructive 
 or builder-up of the blood, enriching and purifying it, 
 and rendering it suitable for nourishing and building up 
 healthy tissues. Hence it has been found highly useful 
 in the debility of tubercular phthisis with loss of appe- 
 tite, night sweats and general emaciation ; in badly nour- 
 ished and delicate children ; in rickets ; osteomalacia ; 
 chlorosis and anaemia ; scrofulous ulcerations ; tedious 
 convalescence from adynamic fevers and inflammations, 
 as typhoid fever, pneumonia, etc., etc. The Strychnine 
 acts particularly on the nervous centres, beside stimu- 
 lating the appetite and digestion. The Quinine, in small 
 doses, is a gentle excitant of the gastric functions, it in- 
 creases the appetite as well as the digestion. Both of 
 these agents stimulate all the functions of secretion and 
 excretion, thus directly increasing assimilation and tend- 
 ing to the replacement of diseased or feeble tissues by 
 healthy normal growth. The other salts of this prepara- 
 tion are all normal constituents of the human blood and 
 are presented for absorption in a most soluble and ac- 
 ceptable form as Hypophosphites, thus affording abun- 
 dant material for increasing the red corpuscles, Avhich are 
 the oxygen carriers, and the vitality of the protoplasm 
 of the leucocytes or germ cells. The Phosphorus, in- 
 troduced into the system as hypophosphorous acid, also 
 acts an essential part in the restoration of nerve force 
 and tissue. It will thus be seen that this is a truly 
 scientific combination and will commend itself to the 
 notice of the intelligent physician. No precipitation of 
 any of the ingredients occurs in our syrup ; they are so 
 skillfully combined that they form a harmonious and 
 stable compound.

 coating of the stomach of the hog, without the application 
 of heat , and is diluted with sugar of milk in such propor- 
 tion that 1 grain dissolved in % ounce of water, with 
 addition of 5 drops of Muriatic Acid, will dissolve com- 
 pletely 50 grains of coagulated albumen, previously 
 pressed through a sieve of 30 meshes, at a temperature of 
 100° Fahrenheit, in 5 to 6 hours. Our Saccharated Pepsin 
 is uniform in strength, without any unpleasant odor or 
 taste, and can be relied upon to produce the therapeutic 
 effects of Pepsin in the highest degree. 
 
 LIQUID PEPSIN. 
 
 Prepared according to Scheffer’s formula, presenting the 
 Pepsin in its most efficient form, the menstruum being 
 diluted Glycerin acidulated with Muriatic Acid. Dose, 1 
 to 2 fluidrachms. 
 
 LIME JUICE AND PEPSIN. 
 
 A solution of Pepsin in diluted Lime Juice, representing 
 16 grains of Saccharated Pepsin in each fluidounce. This 
 combination of Pepsin with Lime Juice forms a most 
 palatable and at the same time efficient remedy in ordi- 
 nary derangement of the digestive functions and the 
 train of disorders resulting therefrom. The Lime Juice 
 in this preparation does not only greatly increase the 
 efficacy of the Pepsin, but it is itself a grateful refrigerant 
 tonic and powerful antiscorbutic. Dose, 1 to 2 fluidrachms 
 at meal-times. 
 
 We also prepare the following stronger Pepsins : 
 
 CONCENTRATED PEPSIN. (Being neutral, it requires 
 addition of acid to dissolve it in water.) 
 
 Solvent power, 1:500. Dose, 1 to 5 grains. 
 
 PURE PEPSIN, POWD. (Pepsinum purum, pulvis). (Being 
 neutral, it requires addition of acid to dissolve it in water.) 
 Solvent power, 1:2000. Dose, X to 2 grains. 
 
PANCREATIN, DIALYSED IRON. 
 
 173 
 
 PURE PEPSIN, SCALES (Pepsinum purum in lamellis). 
 
 It will keep indefinitely and is soluble in water. Solvent 
 power, 1:2000. Dose, X to 2 grains. 
 
 These Pepsins will dissolve 500 to 2000 times respectively 
 their weight of coagulated egg-albumen by the test of the 
 U. S. Pharmacopoeia or of the National Formulary. 
 
 See combinations of Pepsin with other substances, 
 under heading of Elixirs, Wines, Pills, &c. 
 
 SACCHARATED PANCBEATIN. 
 
 Prepared from the pancreas of the pig, and powdered with 
 a certain proportion of sugar of milk. This preparation pos- 
 sesses all the natural digestive properties of the pancreatic 
 juice, converting starch into glucose and dextrine ; it emul- 
 sifies fats, and exerts a modifying influence upon the pro- 
 teids, changing them into peptones. It will coagulate the 
 casein of milk. It is especially indicated in the gastrointes- 
 tinal diseases of infancy and childhood, and in the dyspepsia 
 of adult life, attended by the formation of butyric and other 
 acid fermentations, due to the imperfect digestion of starch 
 and fats. Dose for adult, 5 to 15 grains ; for infants, 1 grain 
 or more, according to age. 
 
 DIALYSED IRON; 
 
 This preparation has been extensively used by the Medical 
 Profession as a most convenient and elegant form of admin- 
 istering Iron. It is considered preferable to the other prepa- 
 rations of Iron, because it does not irritate the stomach and 
 bowels, producing neither constipation nor diarrhoea, so apt 
 to follow the administration of other ferruginous com- 
 pounds. It is devoid of styptic taste, and does not blacken 
 the teeth. The dose of Dialysed Iron is from 10 to 40 drops, 3 
 times a day, in wine or water.

 OLEATES. 
 
 ' Since the introduction of Oleate of Mercury to the Medical 
 Profession , by Dr. John Marshall in 1872, the demand for other 
 Oleates has rapidly increased. Oleates are much cleaner , more 
 efficient and elegant preparations than ordinary ointments. 
 Whilst the latter are merely mechanical mixtures of fat with 
 Oxide of Mercury , or with some other remedial agent , and are 
 wasteful and uncertain in their action— much of the insoluble 
 remedy remaining on the surface of the shin after the fat has 
 been absorbed— the Oleates, on the contrary, are chemical 
 combinations of the Alkaloid or Metal with Oleic Acid, pene- 
 trating the shin more readily, and every molecule of the Oleate 
 is absorbed, carrying with it its definite proportion of the Al- 
 kaloid or other active ingredient used, effectually reaching 
 even deep-seated parts. 
 
 The term Normal Oleate is applied in this List to the un- 
 diluted combinations. 
 
 The diluted Oleates ( Ointments of Oleates ) are made to repre- 
 sent the most desirable strengths* 
 
 ACONITINE (Solution of Oleate), containing 2 per cent, of 
 ordinary Alkaloid. 
 
 ACONITINE (Solution of Oleate), containing 2 per cent, of 
 Duquesnel’s Aconitine. 
 
 We desire to draw particular attention to the above two 
 Oleates of Aconitine. The former is made from the Aconitine of 
 the common market, whilst the latter is prepared from Duques- 
 neVs Aconitine. The latter is about fourteen times stronger 
 than the former, which accounts for the difference in price. 
 This Oleate should, be used with the greatest precaution and to 
 a very limited extent. It should be carefully applied with the 
 end of the cork. 
 
 ALUMINIUM (Normal Oleate). 
 
 ALUMINIUM (Ointment of Oleate), representing 50 per 
 cent, of the Normal Oleate. 
 
 ATROPINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 2 per cent. 
 Atropine.

 Mercuric Oxide. 
 
 MERCURY AND MORPHINE (Ointment of the Oleates), 
 representing 5 per cent. Mercuric Oxide and 2 per cent. 
 Morphine. 
 
 For many purposes Oleate of Mercury is improved by the 
 addition of Morphine. The above has proven to be a desirable 
 proportion. We also prepare an ointment in the proportion 
 of 20 per cent, of Mercury and 5 per cent, of Morphine. 
 
 MORPHINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 2 percent, 
 pure Morphine. 
 
 MORPHINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 5 per cent,

 COD LIVER OIL PREPARATIONS. 
 
 PURE NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL. 
 
 Made from fresh selected livers by a careful process— at 
 a low temperature— insuring its paleness, sweetness and 
 freedom from unpleasant flavor, and yet retaining all the 
 valuable therapeutical properties of this agent. Dose, 
 for an adult, 1 tablespoonful three times a day. 
 
 AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL. 
 
 Consists of a pure article of Norwegian Cod Liver Oi] 
 pleasantly flavored with aromatics, disguising its dis- 
 agreeable odor and taste almost completely, and making 
 it rather palatable. 
 
 AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOS- 
 PHITES. 
 
 Containing 5 grains of the combined Hypophosphites of 
 Calcium, Sodium and Potassium in each tablespoonful. 
 In this preparation we offer a compound, the ingredients 
 of which are so favorably known as remedies in pulmo- 
 nary consumption and scrofula, that a statement of its 
 accurate composition will, no doubt, be sufficient to re- 
 commend it to the medical profession. It consists of a 
 concentrated solution of the Hypophosphites in pure 
 glycerin, which is very readily and completely miscible 
 with the oil by shaking ; two fluidounces of pure glycerin 
 in each pint bottle of Cod Liver Oil being the quantity of 
 this ingredient used. This preparation is pleasantly 
 flavored like the preceding oil ; the dose for an adult 
 being a tablespoonful three times a day, shaking the 
 bottle before using. 
 
COD LIVER OIL PREPARATIONS. 177 
 
 AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOS- 
 PHITES OF CALCIUM AND SODIUM. (Emulsion.) 
 
 This admirable combination of agents, which we have 
 been preparing for many years, is specially adapted for 
 all forms of disease of adynamic type, as tuberculosis, 
 scrofula, anaemia, caries, rickets, Pott’s disease, etc. 
 Phosphorus, of which so large a percentage enters into 
 the composition of nerve and bone tissues, is furnished 
 in a form that is readily assimilated without irritating 
 the stomach. The efficacy of Phosphorus as a stimulant 
 and regenerator of nerve force is unquestioned. In com- 
 bination with Calcium and Sodium, under the form of 
 Hypophosphites, it has exhibited peculiar virtues in 
 building up the system in the diseases above mentioned. 
 Dr. Churchill, after a most extended experience in their 
 use, has said that “ Phthisis, when not treated with the 
 Hypophosphites, must be regarded as almost always 
 fatal ; whereas, when used in time , every patient may be 
 cured by their use.” He further adds that he expects to 
 see the Hypophosphites as useful and efficacious in tuber- 
 culosis as quinine in malaria. The value of Cod Liver Oil 
 as a remedy in these diseases has been firmly established 
 by the clinical experience of many years. In our prepa- 
 ration they are combined in the form of an elegant and 
 perfect emulsion. Under the microscope the oil globules 
 will be discovered of very minute and very uniform size, 
 rendering it easy of digestion and assimilation. This is of 
 the utmost importance, since, in diseases of low type and 
 in convalescence from most diseases, the stomach is deli- 
 cate and weak, and substances imperfectly prepared and 
 therefore difficult of digestion, do harm instead of good, 
 by becoming sources of irritation. 10 grains of the com- 
 bined Hypophosphites of Calcium and Sodium are con- 
 tained in each fluidounce ; they are not simply suspended 
 in the emulsion, but are dissolved in the menstruum of 
 which 40 percent, consists of the purest Norwegian Cod 
 Liver Oil. Dose, for an adult, one tablespoonful three 
 times a day ; for children, % to 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls, accord- 
 ing to age. 
 
 AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH LACTO-PHOS- 
 PHATE OF CALCIUM. (Emulsion.) 
 
 A combination of Lacto-Phosphate of Calcium with pure 
 Norwegian Cod Liver Oil in the form of a pleasantly 
 flavored emulsion. Each fluidounce contains 8 grains of 
 Lacto-Phosphate of Calcium. Highly recommended as a 
 remedy in consumption, coughs, bronchitis and other 
 pulmonary and scrofulous affections. Dose, for an adult, 
 1 to 2 dessertspoonfuls three times a day, after meals ; 
 children, X to 1 teaspoonful, according to age. 
 
 AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH PHOSPHATE OF 
 CALCIUM. (Emulsion.) 
 
 Consists of pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil combined with 
 freshly precipitated Phosphate of Calcium, in the pro- 
 portion of 20 grains of the latter to the fluidounce of 
 emulsion. Dose, for an adult, 1 tablespoonful three times 
 a day. 
 
GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES.

 GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES. 
 
 Containing 95 per cent. Pure Glycerin. 
 
 A HARMLESS AND CONVENIENT APERIENT. 
 
 The universal prevalence of constipation among all classes 
 and all ages has always engaged the attention of the physician 
 in seeking for a remedy at once simple, harmless and con- 
 venient, yet efficacious. This was found a few years ago in 
 the use of 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls of Glycerin by Enema. It 
 proved quite efficient and was considered a great advance 
 on the means formerly used, yet it had its inconveniences. 
 There must be a bottle of glycerin and a syringe with which 
 to use it. The Suppository, containing 95 per cent, of pure 
 Glycerin, entirely overcomes all objections and inconveni- 
 ences. Now the remedy is dry and compact, is easily carried 
 and just as easily used. It is cleanly, harmless and generally 
 gives an adequate evacuation within a short period of time. 
 
 From the long continued use of Glycerin in Gynaecology it 
 is well established that it is a slight irritant and stimulant 
 to mucous membranes, withdrawing an abundant flow of 
 thin serosity from the blood-vessels. Hence, when intro- 
 duced into the rectum it acts by softening the faecal accu- 
 mulation by the flow of serosity and exciting a reflex peris- 
 talsis by its local irritant action. 
 
 The Suppository will be found to act much more thorough- 
 ly if allowed to remain for 15 to 30 minutes, by resisting the 
 first sensation produced by its presence. To produce the 
 desired effect it is not necessary that the entire Suppository 
 should dissolve ; for immediately after being inserted a flow 
 of pure Glycerin begins from the Suppository, and this at 
 once begins to produce the physiological effect. This any 
 one can demonstrate by suspending a Suppository in a glass 
 of water, when the exosmosis of Glycerin will be observed 
 in a thick stream. 
 
GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES. 179 
 
 Owing- to the powerful affinity of Glycerin for water it was 
 found to be necessary to protect the Suppositories from the 
 air. The air- and water-tight covering of Sharp & Dohme’s 
 Glycerin Suppositories will prove to be the best mode for 
 preserving them from all change in any temperature. The 
 shape of the Suppositories is that of a double cone, which 
 experience shows to be the most useful. 
 
 The air-tight covering is easily removed by grasping both 
 ends of the Suppository with the fingers and giving a slight 
 twisting and pulling motion. 
 
 When intended for small children or infants, the Supposi- 
 tory can readily be cut in two or trimmed to any size desired. 
 
 Physicians will please specify Sharp Sc Dohme's , or S. Sc D.’s. 
 
180 ERGOTOLE. 
 
 kftGOfOLk. 
 
 A new preparation of Ergot of Rye, specially made 
 for hypodermic use, by a new process ; representing 
 all the active principles of Ergot in a very concen- 
 trated form, and entirely freed from all inert and 
 irritating constituents. 
 
 Used hypodermically it causes ifeither pain nor abscess, 
 and keeps perfectly without precipitation for any length of 
 time. It has been extensively tried in hospital and private 
 practice, hypodermically and administered by the mouth, 
 proving- uniformly efficacious, and it has been pronounced 
 the most efficient preparation of Ergot in use, one minim 
 representing the full therapeutic strength of about 2 % grains 
 of the best Spanish Ergot. 
 
 The use of Ergot in practical therapeusis, especially by 
 hypodermic injections, having been largely extended, we 
 have for some time been desirous of providing the medical 
 profession with an efficient and reliable preparation which 
 would be free from the objections which inhere in even the 
 best standard preparations of Ergot at present in use. 
 
 The physiological and therapeutic properties of Ergot, 
 unlike many other potent drugs, e. g. Belladonna, Nux Vom- 
 ica, etc., do not reside in any one definite alkaloid or fixed 
 principle. Ergot is a very complex organism, and its most 
 active constituents are uncrystallizable. Each of these, 
 when obtained in the highest attainable state of purity, 
 produces some one of the special and characteristic effects 
 of Ergot, and some even in an exaggerated form. But they 
 are all prone to decomposition and change when isolated 
 and kept in solution. Hence to obtain the full therapeutic 
 effects of Ergot a preparation must be used which contains 
 all the active principles in the natural combination as we 
 find them in the crude drug. 
 
ERGOTOLE. 181 
 
 In the new preparation which we now have the pleasure 
 of presenting to the profession and for which we have 
 adopted the name “ ERGOTOLE,” to distinguish it from all 
 other preparations of Ergot, we claim to have fully accom- 
 plished this object as the result of several years of careful 
 study and of laboratory work. It contains in solution all 
 the active principles of Ergot in an unchanged condition, 
 whilst the irritating and inert constituents have been elimi- 
 nated from it by our new special method. 
 
 “ Ergotole ” thoroughly represents all the valuable thera- 
 peutic properties of Ergot of Rye in a very concentrated 
 form, and will be found when used by the hypodermic 
 method bland and unirritating, causing no more pain than 
 any ordinary hypodermic injection (if used with clean asep- 
 tic needles). If administered by the mouth it will prove to 
 be divested of all irritating and nauseating properties which 
 are so objectionable in the officinal fluid extract. Finally it 
 will be found to keep perfectly without precipitation in any 
 climate and for any length of time, with the absolute preser- 
 vation of its therapeutic properties. 
 
 Illustrative of this fact we mention that we have just re- 
 ceived a report from an eminent physician of Baltimore, 
 who state&rthat he has had uniform and satisfactory results 
 in over fifty cases of various diseases. These results were 
 obtained from a supply of our Ergotole which was prepared 
 in April, 1888 (over 2 years ago), and kept in a cork-stopped 
 bottle only partially filled. 
 
 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS. The great majority of 
 therapeutists claim that Ergot is a direct stimulant to the 
 vaso-motor nerve centres and increases the general arterial 
 pressure, while the capillary circulation is decreased. Some 
 authorities still believe that it acts peripherally upon the 
 muscular coats of vessels and the nerves connected with 
 them. In either view of its physiological action the thera- 
 peutic indications for its use are the same. 
 
 Prof. Roberts Bartholow, in his work on Materia Medica, 
 states that it has been used with great success in acute 
 dysentery and also in the chronic form which follows the 
 acute . It has proved beneficial in chronic diarrhoea. 
 
 Dr. W. C. Dabney, of Virginia, urges the local application 
 of Ergot in all affections of the mucous membranes character- 
 ized by enlarged vessels, such as conjunctivitis, cervicitis, 
 pharyngitis, etc. It has also been used successfully in 
 
182 ERGOTOLE. 
 
 gonorrhoea and in hyperaemic affections of the skin, as acme 
 rosacea, etc. 
 
 It has been injected with success into hemorrhoids, and 
 into the perineum for relaxation of the sphincter and for 
 prolapsus of the rectum. 
 
 It is undoubtedly beneficial in cases of enlarged heart from 
 dilatation of the cavities without valvular disease, especially 
 when used in conjunction with digitalis. Its value is un- 
 questioned in the treatment of aneurisms. 
 
 In obstetric practice, as is generally known, it is indicated 
 when the parts are fully dilated and the pains are deficient 
 or weak, and when post-partum hemorrhage is threatened, 
 and it is best administered hypodermically. 
 
 It has a wide range of usefulness in diseases of females, as 
 sub-nnvolution, congestive dysmenorrhoea , chronic metritis, etc. 
 
 Probably its most extensive field of usefulness outside of 
 obstetric practice is in the various hemorrhages from internal 
 organs, as in haemoptysis, hcematuria, etc., and in the hemor- 
 rhagic diathesis. 
 
 When vertigo, epistaxis , headache and tinnitus aurium are 
 due to miliary aneurism , of intracranial arterioles , most 
 favorable results are to be expected from the use of Ergot ; 
 also a sluggish circulation of intracranial veins, usually due 
 to chronic arteritis, and accompanied by hebetude of mind, 
 giddiness, etc., is benefited by its use. ( Bartholow .) 
 
 The use of Ergot, especially in connection with the bro- 
 mides, has been more successful than any other treatment 
 in epidemic spinal meningitis , congestion of the meninges and 
 cord, acute myelitis, etc. 
 
 When incontinence of urine, both nocturnal and diurnal, is 
 caused by paralysis of the sphincter vesicce , it is usually 
 relieved by its use. So also spermatorrhoea and paralysis of 
 the bladder from over-distention. 
 
 Da Costa first treated cases of diabetes insipidus success- 
 fully with Ergot, and in these cases the remedy must be 
 given in large doses and continued for a long time. 
 
 Varicocele has been cured by its injection. In this case 
 the hypodermic needle must be inserted among the veins, 
 taking care not to puncture a vein. Varicose veins in other 
 parts have also been relieved by inserting the needle under 
 the skin in close proximity to the vein and injecting the 
 Ergot so as to lie in contact with but not to enter the vein. 
 
ERGOTOLE. 183 
 
 Dr. J. E. Kelly and others highly laud it as giving immediate 
 relief in the first stage of pulmonary congestion , when used 
 hypodermically (77. S. Dispensatory, Ed. 1889). 
 
 “Most recently, Surgeon-Major Comerford, of India, has 
 been using the fluid extract of Ergot with marked success 
 in the first stages of cholera and in severe diarrhoea. The 
 drug was used hypodermically in ten-minim doses. In every 
 instance its use was followed by complete success, the 
 diarrhoea being quickly checked and collapse averted. 
 These results were, however, only obtainable during the 
 first stages of the disease.” ( N . T. Med. Joiirn., Dec. 7th, ’89.) 
 
 It will be found that Ergot when given hypodermically 
 will produce the best results in most of the cases where its 
 use is indicated. 
 
 Dose of Ergotole.— 5 to 20 minims hypodermically. 5 minims 
 to X fluidrachm by the mouth. 
 
 It will make a perfectly clear mixture with water. 
 
 Ergotole is put up in 1-oz. bottles only. Never sold in bulk. 
 
184 PAN-PEPTIC TABLETS. 
 
 PAN-PEPTIC TABLETS. 
 
 Pepsin, Pancreatin, Caffeine, with Acid Lacto- 
 Phosphate of Calcium, and Celery. 
 
 AN EFFICIENT TONIC DIGESTIVE COMBINATION. 
 
 We Leg leave to call the attention of physicians to our new 
 combination of the digestive ferments with Caffeine and 
 Celery, which has proved in practice to be a most efficient 
 and prompt remedy in many cases of impaired digestion or 
 Dyspepsia and its concomitants, slow and painful digestion, 
 heartburn, foul eructations after meals, nausea, acidity and 
 flatulence, promptly relieving that unpleasant feeling of 
 fullness and oppression so commonly experienced after 
 meals. 
 
 Tt is now unnecessary to dwell upon the value of the 
 digestive ferments, Pepsin and Pancreatin. They will ac- 
 complish the primary digestion of food in a glass vessel ; how 
 much more then will they effect in the human stomach. 
 This fact is well established by actual experience. 
 
 But in order to render the action of these digestives more 
 permanent the addition of some tonic is needed. Practical 
 test and observation have shown that Caffeine , as a pure 
 alkaloid, is the best available tonic for combination with the 
 digestive ferments. It does not hinder or retard their action, 
 as, according to recent investigations, the ordinary bitter 
 tonics are said to do, but, as stated in the National Dispen- 
 satory, it exerts a stimulant action not only on the nervous 
 system generally , hut especially upon the stomach and bowels ; 
 “ there can he no doubt that it quickens gastric digestion and 
 relieves the sense of plenitude in the stomach , stimulates the 
 secretion of bile, and augments the peristaltic action of the 
 intestines , thereby promoting defecation 
 
PAN-PEPTIC TABLETS. 185 
 
 Prof. Bartholow, of Philadelphia, in his text-book of Ma- 
 teria Medica, 7th Ed., 1890, says : Caffeine is a useful stomachic 
 tonic. It increases the appetite and the digestive power , and 
 diminishes the tissue waste. 
 
 The Acid Lacto-phosphate of Calcium also contributes to 
 the tonic action of the tablets and aids to build up the 
 general system ; whilst a small quantity of that refreshing 
 aromatic and nerve stimulant, Celery, imparts a pleasant 
 flavor and acts as an appetizer. 
 
 Pan-Peptic Tablets will be found most efficient in all 
 forms of Indigestion and Dyspepsia caused by a deficient 
 secretion of gastric juice. Nausea , headache , indisposition 
 to mental exertion, dullness of spirits, fullness and oppression 
 about the stomach will yield rapidly to a few doses ; especi- 
 ally when these symptoms and others are brought on by 
 excess in diet, either as to quantity or richness, or by alcoholic 
 indulgence, will these tablets prove beneficial. One or two 
 tablets taken an hour before meal-time, instead of an alco- 
 holic stimulant, will produce a keen appetite for food. 
 
 Each tablet contains 1 grain pure Pepsin, 1 grain purePan- 
 creatin, % grain pure Caffeine, with Acid Lacto-phosphate of 
 Calcium and Celery. 
 
 Dose— O ne or two tablets immediately after eating is the 
 usual rule, but they may be taken at any time when feeling 
 oppressed about the stomach, troubled with flatulence or in- 
 clined to headache. For children, the tablets should be 
 crushed and one-fourth to one-half given in water, accord- 
 ing to age.

 ^"Use the Stomach Pump at once whenever poasible. 
 
 Where it is necessary to vomit , it can he induced most quickly 
 and surely by injecting hypodermically Sharp & Dohme's Hypo- 
 dermic Tablets of Apomorphine. 
 
 Inorganic Poisons. 
 
 Acids. 
 
 Acetic. 
 
 Citric. 
 
 Muriatic. 
 
 Sulphuric. 
 
 Antidotes. 
 
 Carbonates of sodium, potassium, cal- 
 cium, and magnesium. Avoid giv- 
 ing water in poisoning by sulphuric 
 acid, as the mixture will produce 
 great heat. Treat subsequent in- 
 flammation in the usual way. 
 
 Nitric. 
 
 Oxalic. 
 
 For these give only carbonate of lime, 
 or magnesia, chalk, whiting, or tea- 
 spoonful of air-slaked lime. 
 
 Prussic. 
 
 Cherry Laurel Water. 
 Nitrobenzole. 
 
 Oil of Bitter Almonds. 
 
 Ammonia, properly diluted, given in- 
 ternally and by the hypodermic 
 method. Liquid chlorine by the 
 mouth has proved useful. Cold 
 douche to the head. 
 
 Carbolic. 
 
 There is no special antidote. Give 
 oil, milk, or white of egg freely ; 
 best done by introducing and with- 
 drawing them by the stomach pump. 
 
 Antimony. 
 Butter of Antimony. 
 Oxide of Antimony. 
 Tartar Emetic. 
 
 Empty stomach as quickly as possible 
 by large draughts of tepid fluids 
 containing or followed by vegetable 
 astringents, as green tea, nut galls, 
 tannic acid, etc. The sedative effects 
 are counteracted by hypodermic in- 
 jection of caffeine, or ether, etc. 
 
 Arsenic. 
 White Arsenic , or 
 Arsenic Acid. 
 Yellow Arsenic. 
 Orpiment. 
 Realgar. 
 
 Scheele's Green.

 Empty stomach by hypodermic injec- 
 tion of apomorphine, then admin- 
 ister very freely the hydrated ses- 
 quioxide of iron, or the precipitated 
 carbonate mixed with water ; repeat 
 every five minutes ; apply hot water 
 to extremities, and give ammonia, 
 brandy, etc., against the depression.

 ginous drinks. Treat inflammation 
 as usual. 
 
POISONS AND ANTIDOTES. - 195 
 
 Acronarcotic and Narcotic Poisons. 
 
 The best and most scientific treatment of these is to 
 administer the physiological antagonist hypodermically. 
 Where this is known it will be given below. Where we have 
 no physiological antagonist, vomiting should be excited ; 
 then strong coffee should be given ; ammonia and ether 
 hypodermically ; the bowels thoroughly cleansed by copious 
 injections of soap and water. The electric battery is often 
 useful, and artificial respiration has often saved life.

 Table for Adjusting Doses to age. 
 
 While giving a general guide, it is well to state that no 
 accurate table can be formed. The following is approximate. 
 Children are more susceptible to the action of Morphine than 
 adults, while they are less so to Belladonna. Representing 
 the ordinary average dose of the adult at 1, the doses for 
 children of different ages are : 
 
 1 to 3 months . . 
 
 1-16 
 
 4 to 12 “ .. 
 
 1-10 
 
 1 to 3 years — 
 
 1-6 
 
 4 to 5 “ .... 
 
 1-4 
 
 6 to 8 “ . .. 
 
 1-3 
 
 9 to 12 “ .... 
 
 1-2 
 
 13 to 18 “ .... 
 
 3-4 
 
 After 60 years of age a gradual diminution of the dose will 
 
 again be required
