STEARNS DETROIT.'’ NOTES of information.

such products as may be desired in bulk, or in large 
quantities-. 
Funds in settlement must be at par in Detroit, New 
York, Chicago or Windsor. 
All claims will have prompt attention if made 
immediately on receipt of goods; but if such are 
delayed until an account is due, or until too late to 
trace, they cannot be entertained. 
Breakage, leakage or other damage by careless 
handling, and all risks by fire, water, collision, 
explosion, robbery, or otherwise, while goods are in 
transit, are at risk of buyer. 
We cannot supply loose labels for preparations ot

Detroit, Mich., U. S. A. ASSAYED FLUID EXTRACTS. 
The advantages of Assayed Fluid Extracts over 
those which are not standardized are so apparent 
that special mention seems unnecessary. Our line 
of these preparations, listed in the following pages, 
we believe to be the most complete offered by any 
American house, while the methods employed in their 
manufacture, from the selection of the crude drugs to 
the final assay of the finished products, are such as to 
justify us in the claim that our Assayed Fluid Ex- 
tracts are unsurpassed for therapeutic activity, uni- 
formity of strength and pharmaceutical elegance. For 
further information see note 49. 
This list will be found to contain several novel 
features, chief among which is the statement of medic- 
al properties and dose of each fluid extract. The 
botanical titles are given in italics in all cases, but as 
there has seemed to be no good reason for appending 
the authors’ names, these have been omitted. The 
descriptions of medical properties, dose and botanical 
origin of the drug have been compiled from the most 
authentic sources, and this list may be consulted for 
information on any of these points with the certainty 
that it is thoroughly reliable. 
As a matter of convenience, a number of tinctures, 
half-strength fluids and compound fluids are listed 
along with the fluid extracts ; in every case, however, 
these are appropriately designated. The formula 01 
each compound fluid is given in statements of metric 
and ordinary measures. 
The list price is ten cents per pound less when five- 
pound bottles are ordered ; ten cents per pound more 
when half-pound bottles are ordered ; and twenty 
cents per pound more when quarter-pound bottles are 
ordered. Unless otherwise directed, we will supply 
pound bottles on all orders. The word pound is here 
used in the ordinary commercial acceptation of the 
term, meaning one (wine) pint of sixteen fluidounces. 
An exhaustive list of synonyms, both botanical and 
popular, will be found in the last pages of this

SOLID EXTRACTS. 
We invite special attention to our line of solid ex- 
tracts listed in the following pages. They are pre- 
pared from prime drugs by methods especially adapted 
to their requirements. In the cases of those drugs 
containing volatile principles or those which may be 
otherwise injured by heat, vacuum apparatus is used 
so that concentration may be effected without detri- 
ment to the resulting product. 
Alkaloidal extracts are made to conform to a fixed 
standard, thereby assuring their therapeutic activity and 
uniformity of strength. Our solid extracts are unsur- 
passed by any now on the market, and have always 
given entire satisfaction.

POWDERED EXTRACTS. 
Powdered extracts possess certain advantages over 
those of pilular consistency, the greatest of which is 
the facility with which they may be dispensed. At 
the same time, as they are somewhat hygroscopic, it is 
necessary to keep the containers tightly stoppered in 
order to preserve them in the powdered condition. 
Our line of these goods includes all that have been 
found meritorious, and may be employed with the 
certainty that none are better. Those containing 
alkaloids are adjusted to a fixed standard, thereby 
insuring uniformity of strength.

Frederick Stearns & Co.’s 
SUGAR-COATED AND GELATIN- 
COATED PILLS. 
Next to the activity of the ingredients, the prime 
requisite of pills is ready solubility. There is no more 
crucial test to which they may be subjected. Com- 
mon sense teaches that the friability of' a pill has but 
little if anything more to do with its solubility than its 
color has. An exhaustive series of experiments 
recently performed in our laboratory shows con- 
clusively that mass pills when properly made satisfy 
all the requirements as to solubility, being far superior 
to friable pills in that respect. For further informa- 
tion see note 88. 
The solubility of our pills has never been ques- 
tioned. Nearly half a century of pill-making has giv- 
en us a more extended experience than most other 
manufacturers possess, and we have endeavored to 
use this to good advantage. Consequently it was no 
surprise to us when in the rigid tests already men- 
tioned (over three thousand in number) the solubility 
of our pills was shown to be absolutely unsurpassed. 
In deference to the general custom, we have for 
many years made all sugar-coated pills round and gel- 
atin-coated pills oval. Believing, however, that the 
oval is the more acceptable shape, we intend to make 
all our pills in that form hereafter, both sugar-coated 
and gelatin-coated. At the same time we reserve the 
right to supply either round or oval sugar-coated pills 
on orders which do not specify the shape desired. 
We will be pleased to quote special figures on pills 
made up from private formula, in lots of not less than 
three thousand. Our pills are made by machinery of 
the most approved design and cannot be excelled for 
elegant appearance and accuracy of dose, while our 
name is sufficient guaranty of the purity and high qual- 
ity of the ingredients used in their preparation. PILLS.

The principal difference between pills and tinted 
granules is that the latter have a pink coating and 
contain much smaller amounts of the active ingre- 
dients. For this reason they are well suited for 
administration to children and in cases where it is 
desired to exhibit the medicine in minute, frequently 
repeated doses.

DOSIMETRIC GRANULES. 
There is much to be said in favor of administering 
the isolated active principles of drugs instead of the 
more bulky and less palatable forms, such as tinctures, 
extracts, powders, etc. In many cases, and particu- 
larly where it has been shown that the activity of a 
drug is due to the presence of a definite chemical 
compound, the results are much more prompt and 
satisfactory, and are obtained with a certainty that has 
won for this system the name," Positive Medication.” 
The fact that there are many drugs whose medicinal 
effects cannot be traced to any proximate principle 
does not in the least affect the rationale of administer- 
ing true active principles, and this is all that is claimed 
for positive medication by its advocates. The alka- 
loids and other organic drugs used in the preparation 
of the following named granules are of the best 
grades obtainable in the markets. In addition to 
the organic drugs we have included in the following 
list some of the more active inorganic remedial agents.

COMPRESSED TABLETS, 
The use of compressed tablets has grown to such an 
extent that comment upon them seems superfluous. 
We list the most staple of these goods at prices as low 
as is consistent with the best grade of materials and 
skilled manufacture. It is a not uncommon ruse 
among some manufacturers who quote extremely low 
prices to either omit or greatly reduce the quantities of 
the more expensive ingredients in combinations, while 
retaining the names established by common custom 
and long usage. This practice is wholly reprehensi- 
ble and should be discouraged. Therefore we request 
comparisons of our formulas with those of other houses 
whenever comparisons of prices are made.

FILLED CAPSULES. 
Capsules afford a very convenient and satisfactory 
means of administering disagreeable medicines. The 
ready solubility of the gelatin in the fluids of the stom- 
ach liberates the contents of the capsule very quickly 
and permits the assimilative processes to begin without 
delay, thereby conducing to prompt action of the 
medicine. 
Our filled capsules are strictly true to formula and 
are not offered in competition with those which are 
prepared from inferior materials, and are of short 
measure. 
Unless otherwise directed, we shall send all filled 
capsules in boxes of 12, except Extra Sized Soft 
Elastic, which will be sent in boxes of 6 capsules.

MEDICINAL ELIXIRS. 
Although elixirs have received but scant recognition 
in the Pharmacopoeias, they are, when properly pre- 
pared, valuable additions to the list of pharmaceutical 
preparations. While we have ever taken pride in 
the elegance and palatability of our elixirs, we have 
not suffered their medicinal value to be made second- 
ary to less important requirements. With these as 
with all other remedial agents, therapeutic worth is 
the great desideratum and should not be sacrificed to 
palatability or appearance. We feel, therefore, that 
we may justly claim that our elixirs are unsurpassed 
for therapeutic effectiveness, and that no others which 
are true to formula will be found more pleasing in 
appearance and taste. 
They are put up in full measure 16 ounce and half- 
gallon bottles, no extra charge being made for con- 
tainers. Unless otherwise specified, the medicinal 
ingredients are stated in grains per fluidounce.

CONCENTRATIONS. 
(RESINOIDS) 
In the following list we offer only such concentra- 
tions (or resinoids) as have been proven trustworthy 
remedial agents. The experience of the past few 
years has shown that of the many which were origin- 
ally placed on the market but few possessed any ther- 
apeutic value, therefore we have revised our list care- 
fully from time to time and have eliminated those 
which have not seemed to merit a place therein.

LACTINATED PEPSIN AND ITS 
PREPARATIONS. 
The combination of digestive ferments which we 
have designated as Lactinated Pepsin, and which is 
more fully described in Note 71 a, is one that has been 
found of considerable value in medicine. In the fol- 
lowing list are named the various preparations of it 
that have come into general use, including certain 
combinations with other medicinal agents whose action 
is assisted by its influence on digestion and nutrition. 
Some of these preparations are quoted elsewhere un- 
der appropriate headings, but for the sake of conven- 
ience we present herewith the complete list. 
Each fluidounce contains the specified quantity oi 
medicinal ingredients.

OLEATES. 
These preparations are in most cases true chemical 
combinations either with or without an excess of oleic 
acid. The metallic oleates are waxy solids or unc- 
tuous powders and may be diluted to any desired ex- 
tent. The “oleates of the alkaloids” are oleic acid 
solutions of the true oleates. The facility with which 
oleates are absorbed by the skin renders them an im- 
portant and valuable class of medicaments. For

KASAGRA. 
The original and only genuine Cascara Aromatic. 
A fluid extract of prime Cascara Sagrada, aromatized 
and sweetened, 
thus being ren- 
dered extremely 
palatable. 
Kasagra con- 
tains all the active 
principles of the 
best selected bark 
of Rhamnus Pur- 
shiana, and owes 
its laxative prop- 
erties to this drug 
alone. 
It does not gripe, 
as does the ordi- 
nary U. S. P. fluid 
extract. In pre- 
paring Kasagra 
bark two years old 
or older is used, 
which lessens its 
griping tendencies 
and improves its 
taste. 
Dose: The best 
results are ob- 
tained by adminis- 
tering Kasagra 
in small doses (15 
to 60 minims ac- 
cording to whether 
tonic or laxative effects are desired) well diluted with 
water, four times a day, half an hour before each 
meal, and again at bedtime.

STEARNS’ WINE OF COD LIVER OIL 
WITH PEPTONATE OF IRON. 
Stearns’ Wine of Cod Liver Oil with Peptonate of 
Iron is an original and elegant preparation, which 
contains the alkaloids and 
curative active principles to 
be found in one-fourth its 
volume of pure Cod Liver 
Oil, as well as four grains of 
Peptonate of Iron to each 
fluidounce. This prepara- 
tion is entirely free from the 
oily or fatty matter of Cod 
Liver Oil, and is therefore 
pleasant to the taste, thus 
making it a valuable com- 
pound wherever Cod Liver 
Oil and Iron are indicated. 
Modern investigation has 
proved that the value of Cod 
Liver Oil as a medicinal 
agent is due not simply to 
the fact of its being an oil, 
but to the valuable active 
principles which it contains

TRITIPALM. 
A highly concentrated compound fluid extract of 
fresh Saw Palmetto and Triticum, of which each 
fluidrachm represents 30 
grains of fresh Saw Palmetto 
berries and 60 grains of 
Triticum repens. 
This compound fluid ex- 
tract has been devised by 
us for the convenience of 
physicians who may desire 
to prescribe Saw Palmetto 
and Triticum in combina- 
tion. It has an advantage 
over extemporaneous pre- 
scriptions in that the pro- 
portions and vehicle have 
been so nicely adjusted that 
what in themselves are dis- 
agreeable medicines, now be- 
come agreeable and accept- 
able to patients. 
Dose.—The dose of Tritipalm is a teaspoonful, 
taken alone or mixed with water, as the case may 
demand. The dose may be repeated four times a day, 
or as the exigencies may require.

LIQUID H/EMOFERRUM. 
A delicious cordial, each teaspoonful of which con- 
tains six grains of Hsemoferrum. 
Hsemoferrum repre- 
sents in a natural condi- 
tion all the necessary con- 
stituents of the healthy, 
red-blood corpuscle, and 
in their normal propor- 
tions. It is nature’s own 
compound for supplying 
the blood its characteris- 
tic o x y g e n-c a r r y i n g 
power. 
Hsemoferrum contains 
from 0.4 X to 0.45 per 
cent, of iron. A small 
amount of absorbed iron 
is far more beneficial to 
the blood and system than 
large quantities of iron 
which traverse the ali- 
mentary tract in a form 
useless to the system. The entire amount of iron in 
the blood of a man weighing 145 pounds is only about 
45 grains. Then, why give enormous doses of iron 
to make up a deficiency in this amount ?

VIBUTERO. 
A Palatable and Effective Combination of the Two Viburnums with 
Saw Palmetto and other Valuable Adjuvants. 
A TRUE UTERINE TONIC 
The idea of combining 
synergetic uterine tonics and 
restoratives in order to obtain 
a more effective action and a 
wider field of usefulness is 
not a new one. A number 
of such combinations have 
been before the profession 
for years. These possess 
more or less merit and have 
a large and growing demand. 
Yet there has been a chance 
for improvement, as every 
physician conversant with 
such preparations will readily 
admit. In appreciation of 
this fact and realizing the 
opportunity, a thorough study 
of the subject has been made, 
including much experimenta- 
tion, and Vibutero is the re-

DIASTASE-STEARNS. 
Diastase is a name given to a number of substances, derived 
from various sources, that have the power of converting 
starches into sugars. There are 
a number of diastasic prepara- 
tions on the market made from 
malted grain, and although these 
transform starches in test-tube 
experiments, the question arises : 
“Can their action replace that of 
the natural pancreatic diastase ?" 
Upon thoughtful consideration, 
h there is some doubt that they can. 
||The structure, life and needs of 
I) a plant are so different from 
I those of the animal the inference 
j|| is that a peculiarly adapted dias- 
I tasic ferment would be applied to 
II each. If the ultimate result of the 
| jl action of diastase was alone to be 
j considered it would not be a mat- 
|! ter of much moment as to what 
|l| diastase to use. But the diges- 
;l|j tion of starches is marked by a 
j”| series of different steps and the 
l|| intermediate products so formed 
ij| are variant in character. This 
j| gradual transformation is not 
ij without its usefulness. Nature 
| never does anything haphazard. 
I Does it not then stand to reason 
I that Sthe intermediate products 
I formed by the action of an animal 
i diastase are better suited to the 
i animal economy than those so 
7 formed by a vegetable diastase ?

PANZYME. 
A new combination of Diastase-Stearns with other digestive fer- 
ments for treatment of indigestion and allied disorders. 
In Panzyme, we have effected a happy union of 
digestive principles which differentiates it from all 
similar compounds and, when its virtues are properly 
appreciated by the practician, will place it easily pre- 
eminent in its class of digestive remedial agents. 
Other preparations are generally presented singly 
and will act upon only one class of food, or if com- 
bined, although sometimes theoretically correct in 
physiologic proportions, are generally not satisfactory 
in results since malt or vegetable diastase (a substance 
foreign to the animal body) is used to supply the 
deficiency of the true pancreatic diastase. Another 
reason of their inefficiency is, the proportions of in- 
gredients are generally too small since the alimentary 
canal requires larger amounts of digestants introduced 
from without than of those secreted in the system in a 
nascent state and just at the moment when needed. 
We have given the subject a large amount of 
chemical, physiologic and clinical research and 
devoted much time to the careful study of digest- 
ants and their relations to each other and of their 
various combinations, before fully deciding to manu- 
facture and offer to the profession our Panzyme, 
which is the culmination of our work in this line, and 
is a preparation of which we are justly proud. 
Panzyme is not a secret-nostrum proprietary. It is 
composed of Diastase-Stearns, pancreatin, pepsin and 
rennin, combined in proper proportions and represents 
the entire digestive functions of the alimentary tract. 
These constituents are of the highest and purest qual- 
ity, and are presented in the most easily soluble and 
most active condition. To these digestive enzymes 
are added grateful carminatives and aromatics.

NOTES OF REFERENCE. 
2. Aconitine, crystalline. In view of the fact that a 
number of preparations from aconite are sold as aconitine, and 
as there is a great variation in strength, we desire to call atten- 
tion to the fact that we employ only the best grade of crystal- 
lized aconitine in our preparations. The crystalline alkaloids 
of aconite are extremely sensitive and are apt to become con- 
verted into the amorphous alkaloids which are in no way com- 
parable to them as regards activity, being in fact considered 
inert by many authorities. The crystalline alkaloid when pure 
will be easily detected by the physiological test when dissolved 
in from 100,000 to 200,000 parts of water, and is therefore from 
two hundred to four hundred times as strong as the root. 
3. Adhatoda Vasica, Malabarnut. An Indian plant which 
is alleged to possess a powerful bactericidal influence, but to 
be non-toxic to the higher forms of animal life. It is said to 
contain an alkaloid, vasicine, but has not been studied to any 
extent and consequently very little is known of its real value as 
a medicinal agent. For price of fluid extract see page 4. 
4. Adonis vernalis. One of the Ranunculacese native to 
Northern Europe and Asia, which is being widely recognized 
as a cardiac tonic. It contains a glucoside, adonidin, to which its

in action, but is considered more prompt and possesses the 
further advantage of having no cumulative effect. It is usually 
exhibited as fluid extract. For price see page 4.

each about 1-24 gr.; and is intended to he dissolved in two 
ounces of water. A solution of this strength has been found 
very beneficial in nasal catarrh, being sufficiently alkaline to 
dissolve the thickened secretions adhering to the nasal mucous 
membrane, and, by its antiseptic properties, destroying the 
odor and bringing about a healthy condition of the passages.

in the claim that our concentrated Bay Laurel is unequalled by 
any other similar preparation now on the market. The addition 
of one and one-half fluidounces to one gallon of dilute alcohol 
produces a Bay Rum fully equal to the imported article, and at a 
much smaller cost, and, if this be again diluted one-half, the re- NOTES

JO. Beef, Preparations of. Most liquid preparations of 
beef, such as Beef, Iron and Wine, and its various combina- 
tions, are prepared from the ordinary commercial extract of 
beef. The popular impression that beef extract is highly 
nutritious and fully represents the heef from which it is made is 
wholly fallacious and is repudiated by the best authorities. 
Beef extract consists of the soluble salts and flavoring matters 
of beef and these are slightly stimulating but not nutritious. 
The nutritious portion of beef is its proteid matter, which is 
for the most part insoluble and consequently is almost entirely 
lacking in commercial beef extracts; therefore, while these lat- 
ter may have an agreeable flavor, though even this is not often 
the case, their properties are only those of a condiment. 
The preparations of beef which we offer differ from others of 
similar name because ours have nutritive properties and are 
true foods. Instead of using beef extract, which is worth- 
less, we employ beef peptone which is made by peptonizing 
choice selected lean beef, thus obtaining its proteid, nutritious 
matter, including fibrin, in a soluble and acceptable form. Our 
preparations, therefore, have not only the agreeable flavor ot 
beef but its nutritive properties as well. This point is well 
worthy the attention of both physicians and pharmacists who 
wish to supply a reliable and satisfactory preparation. For 
prices see page 177. 
11. Berberis Aquifoliutn, This drug has become known 
as a valuable tonic and alterative and occupies a very 
important place in modem materia medica. Its principal 
active constituent is berberine, which is the yellow alkaloid 
occuring in hydrastis and numerous other drugs. Our 
fluid extract is assayed and warranted to contain not less 
than 3.25 per cent, berberine, and should therefore he given 
the preference over preparations which are not standardized, as 
the yield of alkaloid in Berberis Aquifolium often runs as low 
as one per cent. Obviously a fluid extract prepared from such 
a sample would have to be given in doses three times as large NOTES.

diarrhea and dysentery is well met by this combination. For 
price see page 9. 
13. Black Cohosh Compound. This compound fluid 
affords a convenient means for the extemporaneous prepara- 
tion of Compound Syrup (or Elixir) of Cimicifuga. The com- 
bination is a valuable one, having sedative, expectorant and 
antispasmodic properties. Although it is used chiefly as an 
expectorant, it has been found valuable in the treatment of 
uterine colic, locomotor ataxia, and in short, as a general 
antispasmodic. For price see page 9. 
14. Black Willow. The bark of this tree contains 
about fifty per cent, more salicin and about twenty-five 
per cent, less tannin than that of the white willow. It , is, 
therefore, more decidedly antiperiodic, and somewhat less 
astringent than white willow bark. Both bark and buds ot 
black willow are considered useful in spermatorrhea and vari- 
ous forms of uterine and ovarian neuralgia, and recently they 
have come into favor as anaphrodisiacs. For price of fluid ex-

20. Caffeine citrate is a chemical possibility, but is 
difficult to prepare and is easily decomposed. In the presence 
of water it splits up into caffeine and citric acid, therefore it 
cannot be formed by mixing aqueous solutions of the acid and 
the alkaloid, as was formerly supposed. The Pharmacopoeia 
recognizes this fact, and adopts the title Citrated Caffeine for 
a mixture of equal parts of caffeine and citric acid, which is 
to be dispensed whenever “caffeine citrate” is specified.

diuretic and diaphoretic. For price see page 14. NOTES.

syphilitic eruptions, gummatous tumors, chronic eczema, etc. 
For price of fluid extract see page 14. 
24. Cascara Sagradu. According to Prof. J. U. Lloyd, 
in a paper read before the A. Ph. A. in 1896, the credit for in- 
troducing Cascara Sagrada to the medical profession is due to 
Dr. J. H. Bundy, of Calusa, Cal., in 1877. Although the drug 
was received with somewhat doubtful favor at first, its value 
has heen so thoroughly demonstrated that it occupies a place 
in modern materia medica among the most important drugs. 
Inasmuch as it did not become very popular with the medical 
profession before a palatable fluid extract was placed on 
the market, and as we were the originators of the first and 
only fluid extract of it which is not bitter and does not gripe, 
we feel that much of its success as a remedial agent is due to 
our own efforts. We publish several pamphlets on this 
important drug which we shall be pleased to send to 
any physician or pharmacist on request. In addition to the 
preparations hereafter mentioned, we make the ordinary 
bitter fluid extract for those who for any reason may prefer it 
to the more palatable preparations. Our cascara bark is 
aged by storing it fully two years before using, by which means 
the griping property is considerably lessened. We wish to reit- 
erate that cascara should be used only as a tonic laxative, and 
when in the treatment of chronic constipation cathartic effects 
are desired, some more active purgative should be employed, 
followed by small doses of cascara. See page 14. 
Kasagra. This is a preparation of which we are justly 
proud. Its success has been almost phenomenal from its very 
introduction, and each year its sale has been largely in- 
creased. This could not have happened if it were not all we 
claim, for we have not expended much money in advertising it. 
For several years we listed this preparation under the name 
of Cascara Aromatic, but several other manufacturers, see- 
ing the remarkable success it was achieving, adopted the same 
and similar titles for preparations of their own, which were not 
the same as ours, and none of which is of full fluid extract Notes of Reference. 
NOTES 
strength. In this way they did injustice to the medical pro- 
fession and to us, and we do not believe that they have profited 
greatly hy such a course. Therefore, in order that the medi- 
cal profession, as well as ourselves, may be protected when 
they prescribe our preparation, we have adopted for it the 
name Kasagra, which is a fanciful word coined by us to mean 
Cascara Aromatic-Steams’. Prof. JohnUri Lloyd, in a recent 
letter to us, said : 
“To Frederick Steams & Co., of Detroit, Mich. (1889), is 
due the credit of producing and bringing before the medical 
and pharmaceutical professions the first palatable fluid extract 
(Cascara Aromatic) of Cascara Sagrada. I consider this intro- 
duction so marked that out of credit to that house I refused to 
make a Cascara Aromatic, and when the house of Lloyd Bros, 
has orders for it, leaving the selection to us, the preparation of 
Frederick Stearns & Co. is invariably supplied, for to us the 
name of “ Cascara Aromatic ’’ means their preparation. When 
the history of the preparations of this drag is written, I believe 
full credit must be given to Frederick Stearns & Co. for that 
conspicuous discovery.” For price see page 195. 
25. Cascara Improved. The regular fluid extract of cas- 
cara is precipitated by the addition of water, and as it is fre- 
quently prescribed in combination with aqueous liquids an 
unsightly mixture is the result. To obviate this difficulty, 
which is one of pharmaceutical importance only, we have pre- 
pared Cascara Sagrada, Improved, which differs from the regu- 
lar chiefly in being soluble in aqueous liquids. It is somewhat 
more agreeable to the taste than the regular fluid extract, but 
less so than Kasagra. For price see page 14. 
26. Cedron. The seeds of Simaba Cedron, a tree growing 
in Central and South America, have a considerable reputa- 
tion there as a remedy for the bites of snakes, poisonous in- 
sects, etc. Whether or not this reputation is deserved is as yet 
undecided, but the drug appears to possess valuable tonic, 
antiperiodic and antispasmodic properties. It is also a griping 
purgative if given in excessively large doses. For price of 
fluid extract see page 15.

ence has shown that Cactus Bonplandii and Cactus McDon- MOTES.

aldii have therapeutic properties identical with Cereus (or 
Cactus) grandiflorus, and as the medical profession seem to 
prefer it, we list only the latter named variety. Sharp and 
Hoseason did not succeed in finding either alkaloids or glu- 
cosides in this plant, although they examined a considerable 
number of specimens. They established the presence of several 
resins, however, all soluble in absolute alcohol, to which they 
are inclined to ascribe such activity as the drug may possess.

28. Chapparro Atnargoso. A reputed antiseptic, astrin- 
gent and antiperiodic, much esteemed in diarrhea and dysen- 
tery. Its activity is supposed to be partly due to a resinous 
principle known as amargosin. The plant is of South Ameri- 
can origin. For price of fluid extract see page 16. 
29. Chekan. This evergreen shrub is indigenous to Chile: 
its leaves are considered efficacious in chronic respiratory 
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, and are also said to possess anti- 
septic, diuretic and expectorant properties. It is said to con- 
tain chekenon, chekenin and chekenetin, which are crystalline 
bodies ; a volatile oil and an amorphous bitter principle. For 
price of fluid extract see page 16. 
30. Cinchona. Our fluid extract of cinchona is made 
to conform to the official requirements, namely, 5.$ total alka- 
loids, of which not less than one-half is quinine. For red 
cinchona our standard is 5.$ total alkaloids, and for pale 
cinchona, 3.$ total alkaloids. We list also Detannated Cin- 
chona, for use in mixtures containing iron salts; also Fluid 
Cinchona Compound for preparing U. S. P. Tincture, and 
Liquid Cinchona Compound for preparing B. P. Tincture. 
Both of these latter contain red cinchona. We offer also Fluid 
Cinchona Aromatic, which will be found a convenient combina- 
tion for preparing aromatic wines, elixirs and tinctures of cin- 
chona. See pages 16, 17. 
31. Coca. The properties of coca leaves are by this time 
so well known as hardly to need any special mention. The 
drug has been shown to be of remarkable value in conserving 
energy and retarding tissue waste. It is a useful stimulant to 
the brain and nervous system in neurasthenia, melancholia, 
protracted mental depression, etc. Our fluid extract is made Notes of Reference. 
NOTES 
to conform to a standard of .$% cocaine, and is therefore uni- 
form in strength. This is of importance, as there is a wide 
range of variation in the alkaloidal strength of coca leaves as 
found in the market, and a fluid extract which is not standard- 
ized is an uncertain factor in the treatment of disease. In 
addition to the regular fluid extract we offer a soluble fluid ex- 
tract, for the preparation of elixir or wine of coca. For prices 
see page xB. See also “Cocavin,” page 204. 
32. Cocillana. A Bolivian drug which has been found to 
possess expectorant properties of considerable value, it being 
held by some to be fully as efficacious as ipecac in this respect. 
In large doses it acts as an emetic, producing considerable de- 
pression, dull headache, and sneezing. In acute and subacute 
bronchitis, and bronchial pneumonia, it has been employed 
with some success. The active principle is thought to be a 
glucoside, but has not been thoroughly investigated. For 
price of fluid extract see page 18. 
34. Corn Ergot. This drug has given fair promise ot 
rivaling ergot as an oxytocic, but as yet its use has not been 
very extensive. Its contracting action on the uterus is said to 
be intermittent, differing in that respect from the ordinary (or 
rye) ergot. It is said also to be useful in eczema and psoriasis. 
For price of fluid extract see page 19. 
35. Corn-silk. Though this drug is now officially known 
as Zea we list it as corn-silk, that being the name by which it 
is almost universally called. It is a mild, stimulant diuretic, 
which has been found to be quite valuable in acute and chronic 
cystitis, and in irritation of the bladder due to uric acid and 
phosphatic gravel. It has also been employed in the treatment 
of gonorrhea. For price of fluid extract see page ig. 
36. Coto. The botanical origin of this Bolivian drug is 
as yet undetermined. Our fluid extract is made from true 
coto, instead of false or para-coto, and as para-coto prob- 
ably is less active, this is an item which should be remem- 
bered in prescribing and dispensing. Coto is an intestinal 
antiseptic and astringent and is highly recommended in diar- 
rheas of various forms particularly those of phthisis, typhoid 
fever and cholera. It is also said to be useful in rheumatism.

Frederick Stearns & Co.’s 
37. Damiana. This drug, which was introduced as a 
powerful aphrodisiac, has not fulfilled the expectations of 
the medical profession, but has nevertheless been found to be 
of some value in atonic impotence. It probably acts princi- 
pally as a bitter tonic. For price of fluid extract see page 20. 
38. Damiana Compound. This preparation, the formula 
for which is given in the fluid extract list (page 20), will be 
found a valuable tonic to the sexual organs. It is a cerebro- 
spinal stimulant and is extensively used in the treatment of 
impotence due to atony. 
39. Diastase=Stearns. Diastase-Stearns is the name we 
have given to our brand of pancreatic diastase to dis- 
tinguish it from other brands of diastase on the market. We 
take great pains in its preparation, having established a labora- 
tory in Chicago, where we obtain a large supply of fresh pan- 
creas. Being at this great central market gives us opportuni- 
ties that cannot be obtained by those who are obliged to ship 
their crude material for long distances. Our laboratory facili- 
ties are all modern, and, we believe, turn out a finer product 
than any other manufacturing establishment in the same line. 
That this is not a mere assertion can be easily demonstrated by 
comparing the physical and chemical properties of Diastase- 
Stearns with other products of a similar nature on the market. 
Ours is perfectly sweet in smell and taste, and possesses a 
starch-digesting power above that of any other diastase on the 
market, animal or vegetable. 
In this connection it is of interest to note the statement made 
in a recent paper of Dr. H. W. Wiley (Chief of the Division of 
Chemistry, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture,) and W. H. Krug, 
read before the American Chemical Society, and published in 
the April Journal of that organization. The paper treats of the 
“Estimation of Starch,” and says concerning our product: 
“We have also tried quite extensively the pancreatic diastase 
prepared by Frederick Stearns & Co., Detroit, and found it 
exceedingly active and free of any reducing matter. The indi- 
cations are that it may prove to be the most desirable form of 
hydrolyser yet used.” 
There are other sources of diastase beside the pancreas of 
animals. Diastase takes an important part in fitting the starch NOTES. 
Notes of Reference. 
of vegetables for vegetable food. That is, vegetables store up 
starch in their tissues as food for future use, and before the 
plant can utilize it, conversion into sugar by the action of vege- 
table diastase must occur. But the needs of plants in this con- 
nection are very different from the needs of animals. Plants 
have plenty of time to digest their food, but one meal rapidly 
succeeds another in animals, especially in man. On this 
account nature has furnished the animal body with a diastase 
which is many times more active than vegetable diastase. 
Animal diastase is, therefore, better fitted for the digestive 
processes in the animal body. Again, as pointed out by Chit- 
tenden, the products of digestion of starch constitute a peculiar 
series, and each one of the series may have an important part 
to play in the nutrition of the body. As the action of diastasic 
ferments still remains, to a great extent, an unexplored field, 
it is impossible to say just what part these different products 
play in nutrition. There are, therefore, abundant reasons wh} 
animal diastase is to be preferred to that derived from plants. 
The latter is fitted to take a part in raising mineral com 
pounds to the plane of vegetable life. The former takes part in 
raising vegetable matter to that higher and infinitely more 
complex plane of existence peculiar to animals. 
40. Digitalis. There are few drugs of greater importance 
to the medical profession than digitalis, which is without doubt 
the most extensively used cardiac tonic, and is perhaps the 
most reliable. It is therefore very necessary that the prepara- 
tions of it should be active and uniform in strength. Our fluid 
extract of digitalis is not excelled in these two important re- 
quirements by any other preparation now on the market. It is 
made from prime, selected digitalis, and carefully adjusted by 
assay to a uniform standard of strength, so that each lot shall 
represent not only the full activity of the drug, but shall be of 
the same strength as every other lot of fluid extract of digitalis 
sent out by us. We commend it to the medical profession with 
the confidence which comes from a knowledge of its high 
therapeutic value and the satisfaction with which it has ever 
been used in the past. For price see page 20.

41. Dover’s Powder, Fluid Extract. This preparation, 
which is often called Fluid Dover’s Powder, is simply the offi- NOTES.

cial Tincture of Ipecac and Opium. Each Cc. represents i-io 
gramme each of ipecac and opium, both of which are assayed 
before being used to make this preparation. The tincture may 
be used wherever Dover’s Powder is indicated. For price see 
page 27. 
42. Duboisia. The alkaloid of this drug, which has been 
called duboisine, has been found to be a mixture of hyoscine 
and atropine. The properties of duboisia are very similar to 
those of hyoscyamus or stramonium, although it is more of a 
cerebral sedative than either. It is said to be of considerable 
value in vesical tenesmus, night-sweats of phthisis, etc. For 
price of fluid extract see page 21. 
43. Echinacea. The root of Echinacea angustifolia, more 
commonly known in the western United States as “Black 
Sampson,” has been recommended as a very powerful altera- 
tive and antisyphilitic. It is also alleged to be useful in the 
treatment of wounds inflicted by snakes and rabid animals. 
For price of fluid extract see page 21. 
44. EtnbeSia. An East Indian drug which is reputed 
to possess valuable tenicidal properties, and to be almost spe- 
cific in rheumatic complaints. According to Worden the active 
principle is embelic acid, and the ammonium salt of this acid was 
found an effective tenifuge. The drug has not been sufficiently 
investigated as yet for a correct estimate of its value to be 
reached. For price of fluid extract see page 21. 
45. Ephedra antisyphilitica. An herb indigenous to 
western United States, particularly Arizona and contiguous 
territory. A somewhat superficial examination made by 
Loew did not reveal the presence of an alkaloid, but a peculiar 
tannin was separated. The drug enjoys a popular reputation 
in Arizona as a specific in venereal diseases, particularly gon- 
orrhea, for which it is employed in the form of a decoction. It 
is probably only alterative and astringent. For price of fluid 
extract see page 21. 
46. Ergot. Few drugs are more extensively employed 
than ergot, and it is therefore of great importance that prepa- 
rations of it shall be of full strength. Our fluid extract is made 
from carefully selected latest crop ergot, and is carefully 
adjusted by assay, so that uniformity of strength as well NOTES 
Notes of Reference. 
as a high degree of therapeutic activity is assured. These 
qualities have won an enviable reputation for our fluid extract 
of ergot in the past, and we shall continue to keep it up to its 
present high standard of excellence. For price see page 21. 
47. Eschscholtzia Californica. This plant, native to 
California and known as “ California Poppy,” is alleged to be a 
harmless calmative, analgesic and soporific. In addition, it is 
said to be free from certain effects which accompany the use 01 
opium, such as constipation and derangement of digestion. It 
is one of the Papaveracese, and was claimed by Bardet and 
Adrian to contain morphine. This, however, failed of confir- 
mation by Konig and Tietz, who could not find morphine in 
specimens of the plant cultivated at Marburg. For price ot 
fluid extract see page 21. 
48. Euphorbia. A tropical plant, said by Dujardin- 
Beaumetz and other clinicians to give excellent results in the 
treatment of asthma and asthmatic bronchitis, also in chronic 
and subacute bronchitis, as well as other affections of the res- 
piration. For price of fluid extract see page 21. 
49. Fluid Extracts, Assayed. Properly speaking, an 
assayed fluid extract is one which has been submitted to 
appropriate tests and made to conform to a certain standard. 
In the cases of those drugs for which the pharmacopoeia speci- 
fies standards the official requirements are taken as the criter- 
ion, but the number so treated by the pharmacopoeia is insig- 
nificient when compared with the total number—more than five 
hundred—listed by us. Therefore we have adopted arbitrary 
standards in the other cases and in this we have been guided by 
our experience of many years in this line, so that our require- 
ments for these are such as to make the finished product in 
every case represent not an average but a prime drug of the 
market. 
It is true that comparatively a small proportion of the drugs 
known to modern pharmaceutical science may be assayed for 
alkaloids, but in the cases of non-alkaloidal drugs we assay for 
glucosides, resins, oleoresins, etc., depending on the nature ot 
the drug, i. e., what its active principle may be. In still other 
cases, and these of course are numerous, we are compelled to 
resort to a standard for dry extractive, inasmuch as scientific NOTES. 
224 
Frederick Stearns & Co.’s 
investigation has not yet disclosed more accurate means of valu- 
ation. Some few drugs also may be more accurately standard- 
ized by physiological tests; conspicuous among these is aconite. 
Our methods of assay are of course varied to meet the re- 
quirements of individual drugs. For alkaloids we employ 
principally volumetric methods of estimation, but in some 
cases gravimetric; of the volumetric methods we resort to titra- 
tion with standard acids in some cases, while in others we find 
titration by Mayer’s reagent to be more satisfactory. 
It will be seen then, that our fluid extracts (and the same 
applies to our extracts) may be relied on to represent the drugs 
they are made from, truly and exactly. There is no haphazard, 
no guesswork about our methods; beginning with an assayed 
drug, assaying the unfinished product and finally assaying the 
finished preparation we obtain a fluid extract which is a model 
of pharmaceutical skill. 
50. Fluids. Among the numerous other new pharmaceuti- 
cal preparations that we have from time to time introduced 
are the fluids (listed among, but not necessarily fluid 
extracts,) which represent concentrated forms of various 
official and unofficial preparations, such as tinctures, syrups, 
elixirs and wines. These are carefully prepared, and on being 
diluted according to directions on the label furnish elegant and 
permanent preparations equal in all respects to those ob- 
tained by following the official processes. We have some- 
times called these preparations “ Druggists’ Conveniences,” 
and we feel sure that the thousands who have used them will 
agree with US that they are conveniences—and necessities 
as well. Since our successful introduction of this line of prepa- 
rations, other houses have followed our example and offer sim- 
ilar goods to the trade. We do not believe, however, that any 
other house in the United States offers so complete a line 
of them. Nearly every compound tincture and compound 
syrup of the U. S. and British Pharmacopoeias, most of the im- 
portant elixirs, tinctures and syrups of the Eclectic Dispensa- 
tory and National Formulary, and many other unofficial but 
widely used preparations may be prepared from these fluids by 
simply diluting with the proper menstruum, be that alcohol, 
elixir, syrup or wine. 
In addition to this line of preparations, several other com- 
pound fluids are offered which are intended for medicinal use NOTES 
Notes of Reference. 
without further manipulation. In most cases they are not true 
fluid extracts, but for the sake of convenience are listed along 
with them. 
51. Fluids, Half=Strength. We list quite a number of 
preparations among our fluid extracts for the sake of con- 
venience, which are not true fluid extracts. Our fluids 
to which reference is made under note No. 50 are exam- 
ples of this, also some tinctures which are given among the 
fluid extracts, and in addition thereto a class of preparations 
known generally as half-strength fluids. As is well known to 
most pharmacists, it is impossible to make permanent, true 
fluid extracts of certain drugs consisting largely or wholly of 
resins, gum-resins, etc. But there is a demand for concen- 
trated liquid preparations of such drugs and this demand we 
supply with our “half-strength” or “semi-normal” fluids. 
In most cases these are just one-half the strength of true fluid 
extracts, i. e. each Cc. of the fluid represents one-half gramme 
of the drug. Among these may be mentioned aloes, asafetida, 
benzoin, catechu, myrrh, and tolu. Besides these we prepare 
a Fluid Guaiac resin, of 60 per cent, strength, and a Concen- 
trated Opium for tincture, of 40 per cent, strength. These 
fluids are very convenient for the druggist’s use in making up 
tinctures, etc., and will be found to answer the purpose com- 
pletely. 
52. Qelsemium. Several years ago we dropped from our 
list the fluid extract of the green root, as clinical investigations 
had failed to demonstrate that there was any advantage pos- 
sessed by it over that of the dried drug. In fact, most of the 
testimony is to the effect that the fluid extract of the green drug 
is less reliable than the other. Our fluid extract of gelsemium 
is assayed carefully several times during its process of manu- 
facture and each lot is made to conform to the same standard, 
viz., .5 per cent, gelsemine. This insures uniformity of strength 
and a high standard of activity. For price see page 23. 
54. Golden Seal, Colorless. This preparation, which 
has been on the market for a number of years, owes most of its 
medicinal value to the white alkaloid of hydrastis which it con- 
tains. It is largely used as an injection or wash in inflamed NOTES.

conditions of the mucous membranes, and being colorless does 
not stain the clothing. For price see page 24. 
55. Golden Seal, Non-alcoholic. To meet the de- 
mand for a fluid aqueous preparation of golden-seal we 
placed this on the market several years ago. It contains both 
the white and yellow alkaloids of golden-seal together with the 
other principles of the root. It is miscible with both aqueous 
and alcoholic liquids without precipitation and is an elegant 
and efficient preparation of the drug. For price see page 24. 
56. Guaco. In Mexico, and Central and South America, 
guaco is considerably employed as a febrifuge and anthelmintic, 
and is also alleged to be of considerable value in rheumatic af- 
fections, epidemic cholera and chronic diarrhea. For price of 
fluid extract see page 24. 
57. Quarana. We have adopted a standard of i,.% 
caffeine for the fluid extract of this drug, although that is 
somewhat above the average yield of caffeine in the 
guarana commonly found in the market. On account of its 
comparatively large alkaloidal content, this drug has come 
into considerable prominence as a remedy for sick head- 
ache and for other nervous complaints in which caffeine is indi- 
cated. For price see page 24. 
58. Helonias Compound. Although other manufacturers 
use the term Helonias Compound as a synonym for Mitch- 
ella Compound (Squaw Vine Compound) of the Ec- 
lectic Dispensatory, we, as introducers of the original 
Helonias Compound, retain the original name for our formula, 
in which helonias predominates. We list also Mitchella 
Compound, of the Eclectic Dispensatory, under its proper title, 
but desire to call special attention to the fact that the medical 
properties of Helonias Compound and Mitchella Compound 
are quite different, the latter being a parturient, emmenagogue 
and antispasmodic, while Helonias Compound is a genito- 
urinary tonic and diuretic. For prices see pages 25, 164. 
59. Horse-nettle. A perennial plant indigenous to 
southern United States, which has come into prominence on 
account of its value in epilepsy. It is also useful in idiopathic 
tetanus and in convulsions accompanied by albuminuria 
during pregnancy. Aphrodisiac properties have also been NOTES

ascribed to it. We offer fluid extracts of the root and berries. 
For prices see page 26. 
60. Hydriodic Acid, Concentrated Solution. This 
solution is ten times as strong as the official syrup, therefore 
the latter may be prepared from it by adding nine parts (by 
weight) of simple syrup to one part of the solution. Occasion- 
ally, also, physicians wish to prescribe two or three per cent, 
syrup of hydriodic acid. With the concentrated solution, a 
syrup of the desired strength can be prepared by altering the 
proportions used. For price see page 156. 
61. Hydriodic Acid, Syrup of. Our syrup of hydri- 
odic acid conforms completely to U. S. P. requirements, and 
is not surpassed in permanency by any other preparation of 
its kind on the market. For price see page 172. 
62. Hysterionica. An herb native to Chile, which is 
said to be of considerable value in flatulent dyspepsia and 
in inflammation of the bowels accompanied by hemorrhage. 
Bailie considers it also a reliable remedy in gonorrhea and 
other complaints involving inflammation of the genito-urinary 
tract. For price of fluid extract see page 26. 
63. Indian Hemp. Four or five different drugs are more 
or less generally known as Indian Hemp, either with or without 
other descriptive titles. This often leads to confusion and 
might possibly cause serious results by the administration 01 
one drug under that name when another was desired. We 
have, therefore, decided to restrict our use of the term Indian 
Hemp to the official Cannabis Indica from Cannabis saliva. 
Apocynum, sometimes called Black Indian Hemp, is listed by 
us under the name Canadian Hemp. Asclepias incarnata, some- 
times called White Indian Hemp, is listed as Swamp Milk- 
weed. Therefore, when we receive orders for fluid extract of 
Indian Hemp, we shall supply the U. S. P. preparation unless 
otherwise requested. 
Indian Hemp, Powdered Extract. We have satisfied 
ourselves by experimentation that powdered extract of Indian 
Hemp cannot he so prepared as to represent more than one- 
third of an equivalent weight of the pilular extract. Our 
preparation, therefore, conforms to that standard, being an ex- NOTES.

64. Jamaica Dogwood. This drug which we introduced 
to the medical profession, has proven a valuable anodyne, 
sedative and hypnotic. The bark of the root is the part em- 
ployed, it being much more active than other portions of the 
tree. For price of fluid extract see page 27. 
65. Jambul seed. The remarkable property of arresting 
the conversion of starch into sugar is attributed to this drug, 
upon somewhat slender evidence it would seem, and it is said 
to have been used with success in diabetes, serving to diminish 
considerably the amount of sugar excreted. In India it is also 
used as a stimulant and astringent in diarrhea. For price of 
fluid extract see page 27. 
66. Jurubeba. This Brazilian drug is alleged to be of 
value in gonorrhea and in syphilis, but its principal use is as a 
deobstruent and tonic. For price of fluid extract see page 28. 
67. Kamala. The value of this most efficient tenicide is 
well known. It acts particularly well in combination with 
male-fern, and we wish to call attention to our No. 49 
soft elastic capsules of male-fern and kamala, page 154, and 
No. 71 extra sized soft elastic capsules of male-fern, kamala 
and castor oil, page 155. For price of fluid extract see page 28.

in the treatment of gonorrhea, vaginitis, leucorrhea, and in 
other inflamed conditions of the genito-urinary tract. For 
price of fluid extract see page 28. 
69. Kino, Tincture. We formerly listed a half-strength 
fluid kino, for the extemporaneous preparation of the tincture, 
but discontinued it as we found it liable to gelatinize, causing 
our customers and ourselves considerable annoyance. We 
now offer the official tincture of kino, which is much more 
permanent and satisfactory than the more concentrated fluid 
preparations of the drug. For price see page 28.

in modern materia medica, has been investigated to a greater NOTES.

extent through our instrumentality than that of any other house 
in the United States, we might almost say, in the world. We 
were the original, and are yet the largest importers cf the 
fresh, undried, true African kola into this country. We have 
published more scientific literature on kola than any other 
house and will be pleased to send to anyone who may desire it, 
our illustrated monograph, also reprints of scientific papers 
describing the recent investigations into the chemistry 
of this interesting drug. Kola has fully justified the claims 
made for it as a cerebro-spinal nerve stimulant and con- 
servator of energy. We are in possession of a great num- 
ber of clinical reports certifying to the value of our prepa- 
rations of kola in nervous exhaustion, lassitude, melancholia, 
mental depression, cardiac weakness, vomiting in preg- 
nancy, etc., etc., indicating that its scope as a remedial 
agent is wide and that it is a trustworthy remedy when em- 
ployed in the form of preparations of the fresh nut, such as 
Kola-Stearns, which is a palatable, full strength fluid 
extract, or Kolavin, which is a pleasantly aromatized 
wine of fresh kola. We also offer Kolacyls, a delicious 
confection of the active medicinal principles of kola as 
they exist in natural combination undisturbed by the 
addition of other chemicals; these are designed for the 
use of bicyclists and athletes, being put up in very con- 
centrated form, convenient to carry in the pocket. 
Final ly let it be said once for all that there is not the slightest 
danger of a “kola habit” being formed. Although the drug has 
been used very extensively in the last few years, almost indis- 
criminately by the laity in some cases, there is not as yet one 
case on record tending to show that a “kola habit” has been 
formed. Furthermore there is no reason whatever to suppose 
that such a habit would be any more deleterious than that ot 
tea or coffee which is admittedly not of a very serious nature.

peutic properties of the various amounts of Lactinated Pepsin 
contained in them. For prices see pages 179, 180. 
72. Licorice Aromatic. We offer three aromatic prepa- 
rations of licorice, viz; the fluid extract, syrup and elixir. The 
fluid extract (see page 29) is itself an excellent vehicle for the 
administration of quinine and other bitter substances, and from 
it, by diluting properly, an aromatic syrup or elixir can be pre- 
pared. The syrup (see page 173) and the elixir (see page 167) 
offered in our list are elegant preparations capable of masking 
25 grains of quinine to the fluidounce. 
As the sweet principle of licorice is precipitated by acids care 
should be taken not to dispense acids or acid salts in combina- 
tion with either of these preparations. 
73. Lily of the Valley. In addition to the official fluid 
extract of the root we list also fluid extracts of the herb and 
flowers. This drug, whose action as a cardiac tonic is very- 
similar to that of digitalis, is coming into extensive use and 
has the advantage over digitalis of having no cumulative action. 
All parts of the plant possess the same medical properties but 
the root seems to contain the largest amount of active principles.

75. Male=fern. There are but few drugs which deterior- 
ate more rapidly than this one in the dried state and therefore 
many of the preparations of male-fern now on the market are 
quite inert and worthless. In preparing our fluid extract, 
the crude drug is first assayed and then the finished fluid ex- 
tract is made to conform to a standard of 10 per cent, oleoresin. 
An active and thoroughly reliable product is thus obtained 
whose results will be found uniform. For price see page 31. 
76. Manaca. This is a Brazilian plant the root of which 
is much employed in that country in the treatment of chronic 
subacute rheumatism and erysipelas. It has also been em- 
ployed in this country to some extent, particularly in the treat- 
ment of rheumatic affections, with fairly satisfactory results. 
On account of its powerful alterative properties it has been 
sometimes called “vegetable mercury,” but this title is more 
commonly understood to belong to mandrake, and to prevent 
confusion its use should be restricted to the latter. For price 
of fluid extract see page 31. 
77. Muirapuatna. A Brazilian drug reputed to be one of 
the most powerful aphrodisiacs known. Very little is known 
of its real value, as it has not yet received a thorough clinical 
investigation. For price of fluid extract see page 32. 
78. Mutisia viciaefolia. A Bolivian drug belonging to

useful in hysteria, also in croup and other affections of the re- 
spiratory apparatus. For price of fluid extract see page 32. 
79. Newbouldia. The root bark of Newbouldia laevis, 
native to tropical Africa, and said to be a valuable astringent 
in diarrhea and dysentery. For price of fluid extract see 
page 33. 
80. Ointments, Ground. There are a number of oint- 
ments in general use which are extremely difficult to prepare in 
the usual way. Conspicuous among these are the ointments of 
zinc oxide, red and yellow mercuric oxides, and ammoniated 
mercury. Our ointments are ground with machinery especially 
constructed for the purpose, and are perfectly smooth and 
homogeneous. They therefore give perfect satisfaction and 
are elegant pharmaceutical preparations. 
Inasmuch as we do not employ the ointment bases prescribed 
by the pharmacopoeia, the designation “U. S. P.” signifies only 
that the official standard of strength is adhered to. For list of 
ointments see page 191. 
81. Oleates. Most oleates are true chemical combinations, 
and not merely solutions of the alkaloid or metal in oleic acid. 
Oleate of arsenic, is however, an exception to this rule, it now 
being considered that the oleic acid acts only as a solvent and 
that the arsenic exists in the “oleate” as arsenous acid. 
Our oleate of mercury is permanent and will keep in any 
climate. This is an item of considerable importance, as 
mercuric oleate is usually unstable. 
It has been thoroughly demonstrated that medicinal agents 
exhibited as oleates, or as oleic acid solutions, are much more 
readily absorbed by the skin than when administered in combi- 
nation with the ordinary ointment bases. For list of oleates 
see page 189. 
82. Opium, Preparations of. In addition to the official 
wine and tinctures of opium, we offer Fluid Opium, Concen- 
trated, assayed, of two-fifths regular fluid extract strength, for 
the extemporaneous preparation of U. S. P. and B. P. tinc- 
tures; Fluid Opium, aqueous and deodorized, of the same 
strength, for preparing Tinct. Deodorized Opium, U. S. P.; 
Fluid Opium, camphorated (eight times the strength of 
“ Paregoric ”), for preparing Camphorated Tincture of Opium, NOTES.

233 
U. S. P.; and Liquid Camphor Compound (eight times as 
strong as Comp. Tinct. Camphor, B. P., which it is used to 
prepare). For prices see pages 33, 34. 
All our preparations of opium are assayed to conform to the 
official requirements, and are strictly reliable. 
- 83. Opium, Crystal. This is an elegant scale or “crys- 
tal” preparation of opium (freed from narcotine and the dis- 
agreeable odorous principle), and is intended for dispensing 
purposes. It is in fine light-brown scales, and is assayed to 
conform to a standard of ro per cent, morphine, 0.25 per cent, 
codeine, and 0.10 per cent, narceine. Prices quoted on appli- 
cation. 
84. Paraguay Tea. A caffeine-bearing drug used in the 
interior of South America as a beverage in much the same way 
as tea and coffee are usually employed. It possesses stimu- 
lant and diuretic properties, and is also mildly astringent. For 
price of fluid extract see page 34. 
85. Passiflora incarnata. Passion flower. This is 
alleged to be a valuable narcotic, useful in neuralgia, insomnia, 
dysmenorrhea* also in diarrhea and dysentery. For price 01 
fluid extract see page 35. 
86. Pepsin, U. S. P. Our pepsin we believe to be un- 
surpassed by any other now on the market. It is in beautiful 
translucent scales, which are free from odor, are readily solu- 
ble and non-hygroscopic. Being absolutely free from mucus, 
it yields a beautifully clear solution, and will be found far 
superior to the ordinary varieties for the preparation of elixirs, 
essences, wines, etc. It is guaranteed strictly 1-3000, and in 
every way fulfills the requirements of the U. S. Pharma- 
copoeia. For price see page 208. 
87. Pichi. A terebinthinate diuretic, reputed also to pos- 
sess cholagogic properties. It is employed with benefit in 
both acute and vesical catarrh and is recommended in the 
treatment of gonorrhea and gonorrheal prostatitis. It is said 
to aid in the expulsion of renal and cystic calculi, but is gen- 
erally considered to be contra-indicated in organic kidney dis- 
eases. For price of fluid extract see page 35. 
88. Pills—Friability and Solubility. That the hardness 
of a substance has nothing to do with its solubility is very evi- NOTES. 
234 
Frederick Stearns & Co.’s 
dent, on reflection. Taking some familiar examples, such as 
rock salt, rock candy (crystallized sugar), fused calcium 
chloride, potassium hydrate, sodium hydrate, and gelatin, we 
find that all are very hard and may be easily driven into a pine 
board without fracture. And these are among the most solu- 
ble substances known, consequently their hardness does not 
affect their solubility, or they would be quite insoluble. 
On the other hand, the mere fact that a substance can be 
easily reduced to a powdered form does not in any way indi- 
cate that it is soluble. Some of the most insoluble substances 
known, such as charcoal, silver chloride, calomel, magnesia, 
prepared chalk, etc., etc., are very friable. We thus have the 
most convincing proof that soluble substances may be very 
hard, and that insoluble substances may be very friable. 
Therefore the assertion that mass pills are insoluble because 
hard, and that other kinds of pills are soluble because friable, 
is not in accordance with the facts. 
Mass pills are usually prepared by massing the medicinal 
constituents with an excipient. If the pills are properly made 
this excipient is very soluble, and is composed chiefly of sugar, 
gelatin, acacia, dextrin, etc., in varying combinations and pro- 
portions to suit the individual requirements of each case. The 
coating also is either of sugar or gelatin. Therefore all the 
non-medicinal ingredients are soluble, and are, furthermore, 
substances whose solubility is not in the least ditninished by 
age, as every pharmacist well knows. There is consequently 
not a shadow of foundation in fact for the assertion (made for 
commercial purposes) that all mass pills deteriorate with age. 
Some mass pills may—but ours, being properly made, will not 
and we are prepared to prove it. Our pills begin to disinte- 
grate soon after reaching the stomach or duodenum (depend- 
ing on the kind of coating, etc.), and produce their medicinal 
effect. This is because they are mass pills, soluble and prop- 
erly made. 
Friable pills, which are coated with a thin, brittle, insoluble 
shell, must be pulverized before they can be digested 
by the stomach. The absurdity of such a scheme is very 
apparent, for while these pills may be crushed to a pow- 
der under the thumb, it must be remembered that the di- NOTES 
Notes of Reference. 
gestive apparatus works, not by grinding like a drug mill, but by 
gentle agitation in the presence of solvent fluids. Therefore, 
insoluble substances which require crushing pass out of the 
alimentary canal with the waste products of the system. 
There is no more familiar example of this than the peanut, which 
if swallowed whole would pass through the alimentary canal in- 
tact. And yet a peanut is friable and may be easily crushed 
to fragments under the thumb. What is true of the peanut is 
true of friable pills, and if friable pills are to be administered 
they should be pulverized before swallowing, if any medicinal 
effect is to be expected. 
Our contention is that mass pills, such as made in our lab- 
oratory, represent the highest development of the pill-makers’ 
art. They are soluble, elegant, permanent, and reliable. We 
will be pleased to send copies of the Pharmacologist or New 
Idea containing Prof. Sherrard’s article entitled “Friability is 
not Solubility,” and describing the result of over 3000 tests of 
the solubility of the various pills of the market, to any physi- 
cian or pharmacist, on application. 
89. Pills, Gelatin=coated only. There are a number of 
pills whose bulk would be so materially increased by sugar- 
coating, that they would be inconveniently large and difficult 
to swallow, while gelatin-coating does not add appreciably to 
their size. For that reason we offer such pills in gelatin coat- 
ing only. 
90. Pills, Sugar=coated only. Gelatin coating is not 
suitable for such pills as undergo variations in consistency or 
volume by reason of changes in temperature, because they are 
liable to lose their shape or burst the coating in warm weather. 
Pills containing salts, either deliquescent or freely soluble in 
aqueous fluids, or ingredients which act unfavorably on the 
gelatin, rendering the coating insoluble, should not be gelatin- 
coated. For these reasons we offer pills belonging to the 
above named classes with sugar coating only. 
91. Podophyllin, soluble. A soluble form of podophyl- 
lin, which, being nearly tasteless, is very satisfactory for dis- 
pensing in liquid preparations. It is incompatible with acids, 
metallic salts, and strongly alcoholic preparations. For price 
see page 176. NOTES.

93. Powdered Extracts, Assayed. Our powdered 
extracts are of equivalent medicinal strength with solid ex- 
tracts, except that of Cannabis Indica, which is only one-third 
that strength as mentioned in note 63. 
Powdered extracts of alkaloidal drugs are submitted to assay 
and made to conform to the standards specified in the list. 
The importance of this will he readily appreciated on consider- 
ing the fact that the yield of extractive matter varies widely 
with different samples of the same drug. See page 59. 
93. Quebracho. This drug, although said to be em- 
ployed in Chile as an antiperiodic, is used in this country in 
the treatment of asthmatic affections. It stimulates the res- 
piratory centers, and has been found by various clinicians to 
be a valuable remedy in emphysema, bronchitis, chronic 
pneumonia, etc. For price of fluid extract see page 37. 
93 a. Rhubarb Blocks. Select rhubarb compressed into 
“blocks” or pieces of convenient pocket size. Put up in glass- 
top boxes holding one pound each. For price see page 148. 
94. Rhus aromatica. Highly recommended for noctur- 
nal incontinence of urine, hematuria and uterine hemorrhage. 
Has also been used with success in the treatment of diarrhea 
and dysentery. 
95. Saw Palmetto berries. Although this drug has 
not long been before the medical profession, it has come into 
great prominence. It is a diuretic, tonic and genito-urinary 
vitalizer, and has a special action on the ovaries, testes, pros- 
tate, and mammary glands. Our fluid extract is prepared 
from fresh ripe berries gathered under the direct supervision 
of our own collectors. We will be pleased to send descriptive 
literature on request. For price see page 41. See also Tritf- 
palm, page 197. 
96. Senna. Although both the Alexandria and India 
sennas are official, we find that the preference of both phy- 
sicians and pharmacists is for the Alexandria, and unless 
otherwise specified on the order, the fluid extract we supply is 
prepared from this variety. For price see page 41. 
97. Senna pods. These have the same properties as the 
leaves, but are said to be slightly more active and less apt to 
gripe. For price of fluid extract see page 42. Notes of Reference.

98. Sierra Salvia, Mountain Sage. This drug was intro- 
duced as a substitute for quinine and has a local reputation in 
its habitat, western United States, as an active and efficient 
diuretic, diaphoretic and antiperiodic. For price of fluid ex- 
tract see page 42. 
Solid Extracts. See note 107. 
99. Strophantbus. Professor Fraser introduced this 
drug to the medical profession in 1870, and it is considered a 
most valuable cardiac tonic, acting similarly to digitalis, but 
being non-cumulative. It is exceedingly useful in the treat- 
ment of Bright’s disease, for the dyspnea, orthopnea, dropsy 
and uremia. It is also said to have been used with good re- 
sults in exophthalmic goitre. We list the official tincture, of 
which the dose is 3to 10 minims. For price see page 44. 
100. Tonic Hypophosphites. An elegant syrup of the 
principal tonic hypophosphites, properly prepared, and there- 
tore free from any precipitate. Each fluidounce contains: 
Calcium hypophosphite 1 gr. 
Potassium “ 1 1-2 grs. 
Iron “ 1 1-2 grs. 
Manganese “ x gr. 
Quinine “ 1-4 gr. 
Strychnine “ 8-100 gr. 
Valuable in diseases of the pulmonary organs, such as bron- 
chitis, asthma, coughs, colds and consumption; as a nutritive 
stimulant to the nervous system, stimulating the appetite and 
toning up the system. For price see page 172. 
loi. Trifolitiira Compound. This alterative compound, 
devised by Professor Rush, of Chicago, in 1885, is largely used 
as a tonic and alterative in a variety of skin diseases of venereal 
origin, also in syphilis of all stages, scrofula, eczema, chronic 
ulcers, glandular affections, chronic rheumatism, etc. It may 
he administered either as fluid extract or as syrup; the latter 
may be prepared by mixing a given amount of the fluid extract 
with three times its volume of simple syrup. For price of fluid 
extract see page 46; for price of syrup see page 175. 
103. Viburnum Compound. This compound fluid ex- 
tract, intended to be used in the preparation of the N. F. 
Compound Elixir of Viburnum Opulus, may be administered 
either as a fluid extract or as an elixir. It is a highly satis- 
factory antispasmodic, diuretic and tonic, and exerts a sedative NOTES

influence on the uterus. It is specially useful in nervous dis- 
eases and manifestations of pregnancy, threatened and habit- 
ual abortion, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea due to nervousness 
and cold, after-pains and neurotic conditions of the menopause. 
It has also been used in hysteria. For price of fluid extract see 
page 47. 
104. White Pine Compound. No combination of ex- 
pectorants has given better satisfaction than this one in 
the treatment of chronic pectoral complaints, bronchitis, 
troublesome cough, etc. It is usually administered in the form 
of a syrup, which may be prepared by mixing any given quan- 
tity of the compound fluid white pine with three times its 
volume of simple syrup. For price of fluid extract see page 48; 
for price of syrup see page 176. 
105. Yerba Santa, Aromatic. Aromatic Syrup of Yerba 
Santa is well known as a palatable vehicle for the administra- 
tion of quinine and other bitter substances not acid in their 
nature. Each fluidounce will successfully mask the taste of 
30 grains of quinine, held in suspension. The mixture should 
be dispensed with a shake label. We offer the syrup (see 
page 176) and the fluid extract (see page 50) for preparing the 
syrup extemporaneously. Two ounces of the fluid extract, 
when diluted, are sufficient to make one pint of the syrup. 
106. Zymole. No liquid antiseptic on the market is 
superior to this in effectiveness, and but few approach it in 
elegance. It is adapted to internal and external use, and 
possesses a wide range of application, both as a medicinal and 
sanitary agent and a delightful toilet accessory. For price 
see page 205. 
107. Solid Extracts, Assayed. Our solid extracts 
which contain alkaloids, or are otherwise of determinable 
strength, are carefully assayed and made to conform to speci- 
fied standards. Each lot of extract is therefore of uniform 
medicinal strength with every other lot of the same kind. 
Owing to the very considerable variation in the yield of ex- 
tractive from different samples of the same kind of drug, this 
is an item of great importance and should not be overlooked.

TABLES OF INFORMATION. 
A PRACTICAL SCHEME FOR URINE ANALYSIS. 
The specimen of urine for examination should be 
taken from the whole quantity (well mixed) passed 
in 24 hours—that passed, say, from 7 o’clock one 
morning to the same hour the following morning, and 
should be tested before decomposition sets in. The 
principal points of note are enumerated in the follow- 
ing : 
Quantity.—The amount voided in 24 hours 
varies, normally, within wide limits. The normal 
amount is usually stated as 1500 Cc. (50 fl. ozs.). 
Increased—By excessive ingestion of liquids, as 
water, beer, milk, etc.; by cold and damp weather 
and other conditions interrupting cutaneous transpira- 
tion ; in diabetes, hysteria, in contracted kidney and 
waxy disease of the kidney. 
Decreased—By ingestion of small quantity of 
liquids; in hot, dry weather (excessive perspiration); 
in diarrhea; in febrile conditions; in the earlier stages 
of dropsies; in certain forms of Bright’s disease. 
Color.—The color of normal urine is that of amber 
or slightly reddish-yellow. The color of urine is 
much affected by food and medicine, as well as by 
many morbid conditions. Santonin colors it a bright 
yellow; pyoctanin, a blue; madder, logwood, rhu- 
barb, a red or brownish-red; strong coffee, turpen- 
tine, creosote, carbolic acid, etc., render it dark. A 
red or smoky color may indicate blood; greenish- 
yellow or brown, bile; whitish or turbid, earthy 
phosphates (excess), pus, or mucus. 
Decreased quantity of urine is usually accompanied 
by increase in color, as in febrile conditions, etc., and, 
vice versa, as in diabetes, hysteria, etc. URINALYSIS. 
240 
Reaction.—Determined by the use of litmus- 
paper—acid turns the blue, red; and alkaline, the red, 
blue. The normal reaction of the urine is slightly 
acid, though at times it may be neutral. Nitrogenous 
food increases acidity; vegetable food decreases it. 
Some drugs influence the reaction of the urine, e.g., 
organic acids (citric, tartaric, etc.), and their salts 
with the alkali bases render the urine less acid. 
Mineral acids render the acidity greater. Alkalinity 
is generally due to decomposition of urea into am- 
monium carbonate, seen in retention, cystitis, etc. In 
this case, gentle heat will restore the red color of the 
litmus paper used. 
Odor.—Normally, characteristic, urinous. Con- 
centration increases odor. Many foods, as asparagus, 
and drugs, as cubeb, turpentine, etc., greatly influ- 
ence the odor. Turpentine gives the odor of violets. 
In diabetes mellitus, it is fragrant; in cystitis, reten- 
tion, etc., with decomposition, it is fetid. 
Specific Gravity.—Most conveniently ascer- 
tained by means of a urinometer. The urine should 
be at or very near the temperature at which the 
urinometer was graduated (generally 6o° F.), and in 
a vessel sufficiently large to permit the instrument 
floating free of the sides. Read the sp. gr. from 
the top of the meniscus, on a level with the eye. 
The sp. gr. of normal urine is 1015 to 1025. In 
infants it is low—loo 7 to 10x2. By multiplying the 
last two figures of the sp. gr. by 2,33 (Haser’s 
coefficient) a close approximation to the number 01 
parts, per 1,000, of solids contained maybe obtained, 
and from this the total amount of solids passed in 24 
hours may be easily calculated, which is normally 53 
to 67 grammes (800 to 1,025 grains). 
Increased—ln diabetes mellitus; in cyanotic in- 
duration of the kidney; in acute diffuse nephritis; in 
concentrated urine, etc. 
Decreased—ln diabetes insipidus; in Bright’s dis- 
ease; by fasting; in copious quantity of urine, etc. URINALYSIS

VARIATION IN QUANTITY OF NORMAL 
CONSTITUENTS. 
Uric Acid—Tests.—A roughly approximate test 
of the diminution or increase of uric acid in urine may 
be applied as follows : Place in a test-tube f3 ij ot 
the urine to be examined and the same quantity of 
normal urine in another test-tube. Now acidulate 
each with hydrochloric acid and set aside for 24 
hours. A comparison of the two sediments (uric 
acid) will show the relative amounts. 
Increased—Excess nitrogenous food; excessive tis- 
sue waste; diminished oxidation; gout; rheumatism; 
general malassimilation; diseases of the liver. 
Decreased—By vegetable diet; exercise; in chronic 
Bright’s disease, etc. 
Urea—Tests.—Place f 3 i j of urine in a test-tube, 
add f 3 ss of colorless nitric acid and set the tube in 
ice water. If urea is in excess, the characteristic 
crystals of urea nitrate will be precipitated. Increase 
of urea raises the sp. gr. of the urine. If the sp. gr. 
of the urine is lower than normal and no ppt. is ob- 
tained by the above test, evaporate f 3 i j of the urine URINALYSIS. 
242 
to one-half its bulk, then apply the test as before. It 
no ppt. (precipitate), the urea is below normal. 
If there be no abnormal ingredients present, e.g., 
glucose, albumin, etc., the urea present may be 
approximately estimated by calculating the amount or 
solids present, as given under specific gravity {vide) 
and dividing the result by 2. 
Increased—ln febrile conditions; by excess ot 
nitrogenous foods; in diabetes; epileptic attacks; 
during administration of phosphorus, arsenic and 
alcohol. 
Decreased—ln diseases of the liver, acute yellow 
atrophy, carcinoma, etc.; in faulty excretion due to 
renal disorders, biliary colic, etc. 
Chlorides.—Place in a test-tube f3 i j of the 
urine to be examined, and in a companion tube the 
same quantity of normal urine. Acidulate each with 
nitric acid, add a solution of silver nitrate (1-50), 
enough to ppt. the chlorides, set aside and let settle. 
A comparison of the two ppts. will show variation 
from normal. 
Increased—By abundant drinking of water; in- 
creased ingestion of common salt; immediately fol- 
lowing the crisis of acute febrile diseases, pneu- 
monia, etc., if favorable termination is indicated. 
Decreased—ln diarrhea; in rapid formation of 
large transudations; acute febrile conditions, especially 
iust prior to the crisis; acute and chronic diseases of 
the kidneys with albuminuria; chronic diseases. 
Phosphates.—Put into a test-tube f3 i j of the 
urine; make decidedly alkaline with a few drops of 
solution of caustic potash, boil and set aside for ppt. 
to settle. At the end of 20 to 25 minutes the ppt. 
should be about one-eighth the bulk of the urine, if 
the quantity is normal. 
Increased—By excess of nitrogenous food; in in- 
flammatory diseases; mental strain; traumatic menin- URINALYSIS 
243 
gitis; acute rheumatism; rickets; extensive bone disease. 
Decreased—ln epilepsy; maniacal paroxysm; mel- 
ancholia; general or sexual exhaustion. 
Note.—The above simple tests are not given as yielding sci- 
entifically accurate results, but are only intended for rough 
approximation, which frequently will be of service to the phy- 
sician in his clinical work. More elaborate and accurate 
tests will be found in any of the reliable works on urine an- 
alysis. 
Albumin.—Place in a test-tube f 3 i j of urine and 
heat to boiling. Add 10 or 12 drops of nitric acid. 
A small amount of albumin is shown by a slight 
diffuse cloudiness, a larger amount by a more or less 
flaky deposit, if considerable quantity, a firm mass 
will be formed. 
Heat Test.—Filter the urine if necessary. The 
urine must be slightly acid; if not already so, add a 
drop or two of acetic acid. Now boil some in a test- 
tube. The presence of albumin will be indicated by 
an opalescence, a cloudiness, or a ppt 
TESTS FOR ABNORMAL CONSTITUENTS. 
Note.—Urine containing pus or blood always contains 
albumin. 
Picric Acid Test.—Picric acid has the advantage ot 
being a lest both for albumin and glucose (sugar), 
and its application in both is here given. 
In a test-tube add equal volumes of the urine to be 
tested and a saturated aqueous solution of picric acid. 
The albumin, if present, is coagulated and is shown 
as a turbidity or a flaky precipitate or a heavy mass 
owing to its quantity. 
If there is no albumin, add sufficient solution 01 
caustic potash to make the mixture alkaline and boil. 
If sugar is present, the mixture will be colored a dark 
red or brown, or black, the color dependent on the 
amount of sugar present. 
Glucose (Sugar).—Picric Acid Test.—See under 
albumin. 
Trommer’s Test.—To a small quantity of urine in 
a test-tube, add a small amount of solution of copper URINALYSIS. 
sulphate, being careful not to get an excess of the 
latter; make strongly alkaline with solution of caustic 
potash and boil. A yellow or red ppt. indicates sugar. 
Moore’s Test.—Add to the urine about one-fourth 
its volume of caustic potash solution and apply heat. 
If glucose be present, the color of the mixture will 
become dark yellow or brown, and an odor of molas- 
ses will be evolved. Nitric acid added will more or 
less completely destroy the color. 
Biliary Matters.—Biliary coloring matters occur 
in the urine in different forms of icterus, and color the 
urine yellowish-brown, deep-brown, greenish-yellow, 
or nearly pure green. The foam produced by shaking 
the urine possesses a yellow or greenish tint. 
Gmelin’s Test.— Rosenbach’s Modification.—Filter 
the urine through a very small filter. Apply to the 
filter, after the urine has all passed through, a drop of 
yellow nitric acid. A pale yellow spot will be 
formed, surrounded by a play of colors—red, violet, 
blue and green. 
Pus.—The best means of detecting pus is the 
microscope, but Donne’s pus-test may be applied. 
Let the urine stand in a test-tube, or, better, a conical 
glass, until the sediment is well settled; then carefully 
pour off the supernatant liquid; now add to the sedi- 
ment a few drops of a strong solution of caustic potash 
and stir. A thick, slimy, tough mass will be formed. 
Blood.—Guaiacum Test.—Place in a test-tube 
equal volumes of tinct. guaiacum and old turpentine 
which has been exposed to the action of the air under 
the influence of light for some time, and hence has 
absorbed oxygen. This mixture should not have the 
slightest blue color. Now cautiously add the urine 
to be tested. If blood be present, a ring will be 
formed at the union of the two liquids—changing 
from a bluish green to a blue color. Pus in the urine 
gives the same reaction, but can be differentiated 
from blood in that the former does not require the 
ozonized turpentine to obtain the reaction. The blue 
produced by pus is dissipated by heat, that by blood,not. TABLES.

RULE FOR PROPORTIONING DOSES. 
To arrive at the proportionate dose for a person 
under adult age, add 12 to the age and divide the 
age by the result. Thus, for a child 2 years old the 
dose is 1-7 that of the adult dose : 
(dr. young’s). 
2 1 
2 12 7 
Children do not tolerate narcotics well. Therefore, 
when administering them, only a little more than 
half the proportion indicated by the rule should be 
given. On the other hand, mild cathartics may be 
given in doses two or even three times the proportion. 
For hypodermic injections the dose should be only 
two-thirds to three-fourths of that given by mouth. 
When administered by rectum, about five-fourths of 
the amount can be administered.

OFFICIAL RULES FOR DILUTING ALCOHOL. 
(U.s. pharmacopoeia). 
I. By Volume.—-Designate the volume-percent- 
age of the stronger alcohol by V, and that of the 
weaker alcohol by v. Rule: Mix v volumes of the 
stronger alcohol with pure water to make V volumes 
of product. Allow the mixture to stand until full 
contraction has taken place and until it has cooled; 
then make up any deficiency in the V volumes by 
adding more water. Example: An alcohol of 30 
per cent, by volume is to be made from an alcohol of 
94 per cent, by volume. Take 30 volumes of the 94 
per cent, alcohol and add enough water to produce 
94 volumes. 
11. By Weight.—Designate the weight-percent- 
age of the stronger alcohol by W, and that of the 
weaker by w. Rule: Mix w parts by weight of the 
strong alcohol with pure water to make W parts by 
weight of product. Example :An alcohol of 50 per 
cent, by weight is to be made from an alcohol of 91 
per cent, by weight. Take 50 parts by weight of the 
91 per cent, alcohol and add enough pure water to 
produce 91 parts by weight.

The first table being for the weaker solutions, 
states the quantities of the ingredients to make up one 
pint of solution; the second table being for the 
stronger solutions, usually made up only in small 
amounts, is calculated for (approximately) one ounce 
of the finished solution. In most cases fractions of 
grains are rounded off, as by this means results fully 
accurate enough for all practical purposes can be had;
