No book is of such profit-making value in a drug store as a good formulary—a truly practical work which tells not only what to make, but how to make it. Such a book must be more than a mere compilation of formulas drawn from miscellaneous sources, many of them untried and untrustworthy. A score of carefully selected and thoroughly tested formulas are worth a thousand of the kind embodied in most formularies, which usually consist in great part of mere clippings from current journals or of random and untested selections from prior publications. Pharmacists who possess formulas of merit cling to them with the greatest tenacity; this being one feature which has assisted in fostering the creation of monopoly preparations—the bane of pharmacy of to-day. This formulary contains a vast collection of formulas, covering everything the pharmacist may desire to make, and every one, it is believed, thoroughly trustworthy. A large proportion have been collected in years past, as the outgrowth of practical experience, and are now offered to American pharmacists for the first time. Dieterich’s and Hager’s celebrated manuals—the great German authorities—are, by discriminating translations and adaptations, for the first time made accessible to the pharmacists of this country. The British, German, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Belgian, Austrian, and Italian pharma- copoeias, Farrish’s Pharmacy, the Eclectic Dispensatory, and the National Formulary have contributed their best and most useful formulas, while completeness has been assured by selections of the best from other authorities. While the policy has been not to burden the book with references to the sources of all formulas, due credit has been given in each case as opportunity permitted or equity required. Attention is called here to the various divisions of the work. Part I embraces what are commonly known as pharmaceutical preparations, containing selections from the various pharmacopoeias, the Eclectic Dispensatory, the National Formulary, and other authoritative works. Part III is designed to give the ingredients and quantities of prepa- rations similar to the leading proprietary medicines of the market in order that druggists may know what they are called upon to dispense or sell. The introductory note to the chapter more fully explains its purpose. Part VII embraces such formulas as could not properly be included in the remaining division. It is believed that the quantities of all formulas have been adapted to the usual need's of pharmacists. Preparations which are usually required in amounts of one pint or one pound bear formulas indicating this amount. If they are commonly prepared in smaller or in larger amounts, the quantities have been duly decreased or increased. Quantities of a formula are usually even amounts, such as 4 ounces, 8 ounces, 16 ounces, one-half gallon, etc. Due consideration has been given the fact that foreign preparations frequently differ in strength and specific gravity from similar preparations as made in this country; INTRODUCTORY. for example, solution of iron chloride of the German pharmacopoeia represents 10 per cent, of metallic iron, and has a specific gravity of 1.28, whereas the similar preparation of the United States pharmacopoeia represents 18 per cent, of metallic iron, and has a specific gravity of 1.887. This fact has necessitated almost constant recalculation of formulas taken from foreign sources, and sometimes even the entire recasting of formulas, in order that the product made by the use of American preparations shall be the same as that designed by the original formula. It is the design of this Formulary that all liquids be measured and all solids be weighed. Hence, foreign formulas usually required the conversion of parts of liquids into volume, and this again necessitated consideration of specific gravities. Owing to the greater familiarity of American pharmacists with the old system of grains, ounces, etc., quantities are all expressed in these in preference to the metric system. Troy ounces and pounds being now practically obsolete, these weights are replaced by equivalent quantities in the avoirdupois system. Liquid quantities are expressed in the apothecaries’ system. Frequently it was considered advisable to alter working directions for making foreign preparations; for example, by the substitution of percolation for maceration. It is especially advised that pharmacists carefully peruse the introductories to the various chapters or divisions. Failure to produce satisfactory results may be caused by neglect of this precaution. The introductories in Part V are especially complete. Taken all in all, this volume can not fail, it is believed, to be of incalculable service to every pharmacist who sees in a properly utilized laboratory a means of asserting his persona] independence of other’s preparations and for expending his business and professional reputation while adding in an important measure to his profits. THE EDITORS. NOTE TO SECOND AND REVISED EDITION. The editors desire to express their sincere appreciation of the very flattering reception accorded this work by pharmacists and others in all parts of the country. It is believed that with the additions and other changes embodied in this Second and Revised Edition, the book will be fcund in even closer harmony with the demands, not only of scientific pharmacy, but of the retail drug trade in its relations to the ever vital problem of profit and loss. The Index to the volume has been adjudged by several critics not sufficiently extensive to facilitate ready reference, d his possible objection has, it is believed, been answered in the rigid alphabetical arrangement adopted for the chief classes of preparations, including the Elixirs, Extracts, Fluid Extracts, Liniments, Ointments, Powders, Solutions, Syrups, Tinctures, Wines, etc. V ith this fact in mind, reference to any desired preparation will be attended with little difficulty. The work is undergoing constant revision, in order that the successive editions may be kept fully up to date in every department. Suggestions or contributions to this end will be highly appreciated. Chicago, January 2, 1897, THE EDITORS. PART I. PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. Abstracts. These preparations were first introduced into the United States Pharmacopoeia of 1880, and were dropped from the edition of 1890. They are used to some extent; the following is a general process for their man- ufacture: Drug, No. 60 powder av.oz. 8 Menstruum, Powdered sugar of milk of each, sufficient Moisten the drug with menstruum, and pack, macerate, and extract in the usual way for making fluid extracts, reserving the first fluidounces of percolate obtained and continuing percolation until the drug is exhausted. Evaporate the second percolate, at a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees C., to iy fluidounces ; mix this with the re- served percolate, place the whole in a broad evaporating dish or other suitable vessel; add 4 av. ounces of milk sugar, mix well, cover the vessel with a piece of thin muslin gauze to exclude dust, and set the whole aside in a warm place, where the temperature will not rise above 50 degrees C., until the mixture is dry. Then add enough milk sugar to make the whole weigh 4 av. ounces, reduce the whole to a uniform fine powder, and keep in a well-stopped bottle. Essentially, therefore, the process of man- ufacture consists in making a fluid extract, evaporating this to a dry solid extract, and adding enough milk sugar to make up a quantity of one-half of the weight of the original drug. Eleven abstracts were official, viz., aconite, belladonna (root), conium (fruit), digitalis, henbane (leaves), ignatia, jalap, nux vomica, podophyllum, senega and valerian. The menstruum usually employed in extracting the drugs was alcohol, the exceptions being nux vomica and ignatia, in which the men- struum was a mixture of alcohol and water in the proportion of eight of the former to one of the latter, and conium, in which the first four fluidounces of alcohol used as men- struum [is mixed with three fluidrams of diluted hydrochloric acid.

This is a dilution of carbolic acid recom- mended as more convenient and safe to use than liquefied carbolic acid, i.e., crystal car- bolic acid melted and maintained in a liquid state by the addition of 5 per cent of water. It is prepared as follows: Carbolic acid, crystal.av.oz. 2 or fl.oz. 2 Glycerin av.oz. 5 or fl.oz. 4 Melt the acid and add the glycerin. This No. 33 acid mixes readily with water in all proportions, and, not being as caustic as the ordinary liquefied acid, cannot result in as much mischief or fatality if used im- properly, or if taken accidentally or purposely.

Many methods for deodorizing alcohol have been recommended, but the following will be found satisfactory: A convenient amount of alcohol is shaken with powdered potassium permanganate until it assumes a decided color. Then allow to stand for several hours until the perman- ganate has become decomposed, and brown manganese dioxide has deposited. A pinch of pulverized calcium carbonate should tjien be added, and the whole subjected to distilla- tion, using a well-cooled receiver. Distil very slowly at first, testing the distillate fre- quently, until a mixture of the distillate and a strong (syrupy) solution of pure caustic soda or potassa, in the proportion of 10 of the for- mer to 1 of the latter, gives no perceptible yellow coloration, on standing for 20 minutes or half an hour. The first portion of distil- late that yields this coloration should be re- jected ; the last one-eighth of liquid should not be distilled, and should also be rejected. The remaining portion only is adapted for use. This alcohol is adapted to all chemical pur- poses and for use in the manufacture of per- fumes. Alcoolats. These are a class of French preparations produced by distillation of drugs with alco- hol. Balsamam (or baume de) fioravanti is an example. Alcoolatures. A class of French preparations produced by the action of alcohol upon fresh plant parts. They correspond to the tinctures of fresh herbs of our pharmacopoeia. Alcooles.

Under the above title, many kinds of prep- arations are offered, but the formula given is believed to be the most sensible and will fur- nish as good a product as any.—D. Bandages, Plaster of Paris. These are made by taking gauze of suita- ble kind and of the width desired, and rolling it up just as in making roller bandages, and while doing so, sprinkling over it freshly burned plaster of Paris sufficient to fill the pores. The bandage is then to be wrapped in waxed paper and put into a tin box, or it is put directly into the box, which latter should then be well closed.—D. Benzin, Deodorized. Mix together 8 fluidounces sulphuric acid and 56 fluidounces of water and when cold pour it into a two-gallon bottle; add 1 av. ounce potassium permanganate and agi- tate until dissolved; then add 1 gallon of benzin and thoroughly agitate, and allow the mixture to remain in contact for twenty- four hours, frequently agitating. Separate the benzin and wash in a similar bottle with a mixture of 120 grains of potassium per- manganate, 240 grains of caustic soda, and 32 fluidounces of water, agitating frequently during several hours. Then separate the benzin and wash it thoroughly with water. On agitating the benzin with the acid per- manganate solution, an emulsion-like mixture is produced which separates in a few seconds, the permanganate solution slowly subsiding and showing considerable reduction. The quantity of permanganate necessary is in direct proportion to the impurities existing in the benzin. The quantity ordered in the formula is sufficient for a very crude article and may be reduced when manipulating with a purer distillate. Bitters,Thompsonian. (“Number Four’ ’) Barberry bark, Balmony, Poplar bark of each, equal parts. Other Bitters will be mentioned in Parts II and III. Blood, Dried, Defibrinated. (Sanguis Bovinus Inspissatus or Exsiccatus.) This may be prepared by evaporating fresh defibrinated bullock’s blood on a water bath, stirring constantly, until it assumes a granu- lar condition; then spread on glass plates and keep at a temperature of 35 to 40 de- grees C. (in a drying oven) until perfectly dry, after which it is powdered and put into well-stopped bottles.—D. The defibrinated blood may be prepared by vigorously beating fresh blood in a broad dish with a stick or twig until there is no further separation of fibrin. Bougies. (Urethral Suppositories.) These are prepared from three different kinds of materials, the first kind being pre- pared with cacao butter, and are known as ‘ ‘ cacao butter ’ ’ bougies; the second with gelatin and glycerin, and are known as ‘ ‘ gel- atin ” bougies, and the last with mucilage, and are known as ‘ ‘ gum bougies. ’ ’ Bougies, Cacao Butter. The mass for these is prepared by mixing the medicating substance with grated cacao butter, adding a little petrolatum or bland fixed oil. To form the bougies from this, the mass is put into a bougie syringe made of metal, having an opening below like an ordinary syringe, and having a piston which PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. screws down instead of simply pushing down. When the mass is prepared, it is packed into the syringe after removing the piston; the latter is replaced and is slowly screwed down- ward. As the piston moves forward, the mass begins to make its exit at the opening below in the form of a slender cylinder. This cylinder may subsequently be cut into suitable lengths. In the absence of a syringe, the bougies may be fashioned by rolling them out on a board just as a pill mass is rolled into a ‘ ‘ pipe. ’ ’ Providing the medicating substance is not in powder form, and cannot conveniently or advantageously be reduced to this form, the method of mixing is not so simple 'as out- lined above. If something like an extract is to be incorporated, this must first be softened with water, glycerin, diluted alcohol, or alco- hol, after which it may be mixed with the cacao butter as before; or it may be that some fixed oil or other substance will be a more suitable softening agent. Possibly the substance is soluble in the cacao butter in a melted condition; it should, of course, be so dissolved, and after cooling and hardening, the mass should be reduced to powder by grating or otherwise, mixed possibly with a little petrolatum or fixed oil, and be fash- ioned into bougies as before. Large quanti- ties of liquids cannot, of course, be incorpo- rated with bougie masses; in many instances, however, it will be possible to concentrate the liquid by evaporation without injury to its medicinal principles ; then, subsequently, the concentrated residue may be mixed with the cacao butter as before. These bougies have the disadvantage of being brittle, and hence are used but little. Bougies, Gelatin. The best kind of gelatin to use in this process is the purest white of the kind known as “ French.” The mass employed is made from gelatin, glycerin and water, but the pro- portion cannot be the same in all cases, as the nature of the medicating substance to be combined may require a modification; also the gelatin may vary to some extent, and modification of the proportions may be re- quired on this account. Where gelatin bougies are regularly or- dered, it is best to keep a supply of several suitable gelatin masses. These should pref- erably be kept in glass vessels, and be cov- ered with a thin layer of alcohol to prevent moulding, the whole, of course, being well covered. When wanted for use, the alcohol should be poured from the surface of the mass and the adhering alcohol removed by wiping with a tuft of absorbent cotton, after which the mass may be removed either by cutting out a piece with a knife or by melt- ing in a water bath and pouring out the lique- fied mixture. To prepare the mass the following plan should be adopted: Soak the requisite quantity of gelatin in a portion of the distilled water contained in a porcelain vessel for several hours, or until it is thoroughly softened; add enough water to make 3, 4 or 5 times the weight of original gelatin; add the prescribed quantity of glyc- erin ; heat on a water bath with frequent stirring until dissolved, and then continue heating to remove excess of water. Medicaments added to gelatin bougie masses may be (1) without any influence upon the latter, or they may (2) cause it to become tenacious, or they may (3) render it thin or unctuous. Examples of the different kinds are appended, also of the different mixtures of glycerin, gelatin and water for use in various cases. Hard Glycerin-Gelatin Mass. Gelatin av.oz. 3 Water fl.oz. 9 Glycerin fl.oz. 5 This mass is to be prepared as directed, and is then to be evaporated until it weighs 12 av. ounces. Soft Glycerin—Gelatin Mass. 1 Gelatin av.oz 1)^ Water fl.oz. 4^ Glycerin fl.oz. 4 Evaporate this also until it weighs 10 av.- ounces. In preparing the bougies, the medicating substance must be added either in the form of fine powder, or in the form of a concen- trated solution. If it be an extract or similar substance, it is to be softened with water, glycerin, etc., just as in the case of the cacao butter bougies. As in making the latter, no 16 THE STANDARD FORMULARY. it a small quantity of olive oil or liquid petrolatum and allowing this to run out again. Now place the tube into the gelatin mass, suck up the latter to the desired height, cover the upper end quickly with the finger, and place the lower end on ice until the lower portion of the mass has solidified; now remove the finger and lay the tube down on the ice in an inclined position. When the bougie has hardened it may be removed by pushing it out with a smaller glass tube or a rod of some kind. Examples of the three kinds of mixture in which the consistency of the bougie mass is either unaltered or altered: 1. —The consistency is unaltered: Bougies, Silver Nitrate. Silver nitrate gr. 7 Distilled water sufficient. Hard glycerin-gelatin mass av.oz. 8 Dissolve the silver nitrate in a few drops of water, add this solution to the melted gel- atin mass, and form into bougies in the pre- scribed manner. These bougies contain one-half per cent of the silver salt. They soon become dis- colored and must be made fresh.—D. Bougies, Chloral Hydrate. Chloral hydrate gr. 23 Hard glycerin-gelatin mass... .av.oz. 1 Pulverize the chloral hydrate, add to the melted gelatin mass, stir until dissolved, and pour into bougies.

A larger volume, however, can be incorporated with the gelatin mass than with the cacao butter mass. If neces- sary, after adding liquid, the consistence of the mass may be restored by a little pow- dered tragacanth. Having melted the gelatin mass by aid of a water bath and added the medicaments, the whole may be poured into molds. Be- fore doing so, it may frequently be of advan- tage to heat the mixture for a few moments carefully over a naked flame so as to render it still more fluid. During heating, the mix- ture is stirred carefully to liberate all air bub- bles. This prepared mixture is now poured quickly into molds. The molds used are of the hinged kind, so that they may be opened and the bougies taken out; they are constructed of brass, block tin, or nickel-plated iron. Before using, the interior of the molds must be rubbed with petrolatum or oil to prevent ad- hesion of the mass ; then they must be made quite warm or, in the case of rather hard masses, even quite hot. This warming is necessary to permit escape of air bubbles. The hot mass may then be poured into the molds. The only time an exception is made to pouring the mass in a hot condition into the molds, is when the medicament is an entirely insoluble solid; then the latter must be triturated to an exceedingly fine powder and added to the mass. Before pouring the latter into molds it should be allowed to cool sufficiently, so that when dropped upon a cold stone it will congeal almost immediate- ly. This mass should be poured into the cold molds. After pouring the mixture into molds, the latter are placed upon ice. After cooling, the mold should be opened and the bougies taken out and exposed to the air for several hours, that they may harden on the surface, after which they should be wrapped in waxed paper and laid horizontally in boxes. The bougies may also be kept in a box rolled in lycopodium. In the absence of a mold, gelatin bougies may be formed by means of a glass tube of suitable size.

These may be prepared from mixtures of powdered tragacanth, starch, dextrin, sugar and medicament, rubbed to a paste with wa- ter and glycerin, or they may be prepared by massing the medicating ingredient with muci- lage of acacia, glycerin and water, and rolling into the proper form. If the bougies con- tain too large a proportion of medicating in- gredient, the latter may be diluted with some inert or harmless body; powdered boric acid will serve acceptably. Camphor Cream.

Catgut. This is prepared from the intestines of dif- ferent animals, but usually the sheep. To prepare the gut, the intestines are cleaned, freed from fat, and steeped for some time in water, after which the external membrane is scraped off with a blunt tool like the back of a knife. The membrane is then cut into strips, bleached possibly and washed in water, dried, twisted or rolled, and then smoothed, the two last-named operations being done by machinery only. In the absence of catgut ligatures, one may prepare suitable sizes of violin or banjo strings for surgical purposes. The catgut after being prepared as above, must be freed from contained fat, a con- venient method being by maceration in ether or chloroform. The gut may be preserved in alcohol, oil of juniper or other suitable liquid, using a well-closed, wide-mouth bot- tle as receptacle. In medicating catgut, which is in skeins, the cord binding the gut should be cut so as to impregnate uniformly. After impregnation, it is generally directed to wind the gut upon glass spools.

Place in the mixture as much catgut as is to be impregnated, adding more liquid if necessary, to completely im- merse the gut. Allow the gut to remain in the turbid fluid until the latter becomes clear, agitating from time to time. When the liquid becomes transparent, the gut will have become soft and have absorbed water and acid. It is now wound upon glass spools, the whole then being immersed in a mixture of carbolic acid and olive oil in the proportion of 1 of the former to 4 of the latter.—D. II. Block’s process: Roll the cleansed catgut upon glass spools, macerate in a 5-per-cent aqueous solution of carbolic acid for 48 hours, then unwind in a dish containing freshly prepared 5-per-cent aqueous carbolic acid solution, and now re- wind (tightly) the gut upon the spool.

This class of preparations was originally in- troduced by physicians of the Eclectic school of medicine and subsequently was employed by physicians of other schools. They are now employed in Europe; also one, at least, has found recognition in the United States Phar- macopoeia, viz., podophyllin. The general plan for their manufacture originally consisted in extracting the drug with strong alcohol, evaporating this tincture to small bulk, adding to cold water, stirring constantly meanwhile, allowing the precipi- 22 THE STANDARD FORMULARY. tate formed to subside, collecting the latter, and drying and powdering it. If the drug contain an oleoresin, the pre- cipitate cannot- be dried sufficiently to pow- der, but remains h soft, sticky mass. In this case, the precipitate should be dried suffi- ciently to remove the water, then add enough of the original drug, in powdered form, to reduce to a rather tough mass, break the latter into small pieces, dry in warm air, and pulverize as before. In many instances, there would be, by the use of water alone as a precipitating agent, an inappreciable amount of precipitate. In such cases, alum is added to the water and some ammonium carbonate to the alcoholic liquid. The precipitate contains aluminium hydrate, and the product will very often be green from precipitated chlorophyll. Other substances are added to the water to facilitate precipitation, such as acids and alkalies, depending, of course, upon the char- acter of the drug. While the above methods of preparing concentrations were advised by Eclectic prac- titioners, other methods are in vogue among manufacturers. In many instances, the con- centration is simply a powdered extract, the so-called “ euonymin,” for example, the drug often being exhausted with dilute alcohol or water. Instead of using the powdered drug as a drying agent, as is stated above, most manufacturers use milk sugar, magnesia or other absorbent powder. Most of the concentrations are supposed to be resinous in character, and are termed ‘‘ resinoids,” while others are alkaloidal in character. The latter are believed to be prepared by exhausting the drug with a very dilute acid (from yz to 3 per cent), usually hydrochloric or sulphuric, evaporating the liquid obtained to moderate bulk, adding ammonia to neutralize the acid, collecting the precipitate, and washing and drying it. Hy- drastis and sanguinaria are drugs treated in this manner. As may be surmised from what has been stated, concentrations from different manu- facturers differ from each other greatly in quality and strength and color, as well as in other properties. The nomenclature of the concentrations is very confusing. The resinoids have names ending in “ in”—cornin, helenin, etc.—while those of alkaloidal character are known by names ending either in “ in ” or “ ia,” and are coupled with names indicating the acid employed in extraction, e.g., hydrastia. sul- phate, sanguinarin nitrate, etc. Manufac- turers of pharmaceuticals have not only modified the processes of preparation, but have introduced innovations in the titles. When it is borne in mind that glucosides have names terminating in “ in,” and that alkaloidal names end in ” ine ” (‘‘ia” is also used), and that almost all drugs contain glucosides or alkaloids or even both, one can readily see that almost inextricable confusion must result, often to the serious detriment of sick persons. This is the case particularly with the derivatives of hydrastis and san- guinaria. The following table is presented because of its convenience for reference. It will not apply to the products of all manufacturers, nor does it mention all concentrations, but it may prove useful nevertheless. Class I. Concentrations consisting largely of resin and nearly or entirely soluble in alco- hol : Aletridin,* Asclepidin,* Cimicifugin (Ma- crotin), Eryngin,* Helonin,* Iridin * Lia- trin,* Podophyllin (U. S. P.),Ptelein.* The pulverulent resinoids of aletris and iris versicolor are known as above, while the soft, oleoresinous articles are called aletrin and irisin. Class II. Concentrations which generally contain inorganic constituents from the proc- ess of manufacture, and are frequently of a green character: Barosmin, Euonymin (green variety), Lo- belin, Lycopin, Podophyllin (yellow variety), Scutellarin, Senecin. Class III. Concentrations which contain a number (probably most) of the soluble drug constituents: Aletrin,* Alnuin, Ampelopsin, Apocynin, Asclepidin,* Baptisin, Betulin, Caulophyllin, Cerasin, Chelonin, Chimaphilin, Chionanthin, Collinsonin, Colocynthin, Cornin, Corydalin, Cypripedin, Dioscorin, Euonymin (brown PH A RMA CE U TICA L ERE FA RA TIONS. 23 variety), Eupatorin, Euphorbin, Eupurpurin, Fraserin, Gelsemin, Geranin, Gossypin, Hamamelin, Humulin, Inulin, Irisin,* Jal- apin, Juglandin, Leontodin, Leptandrin, Liatrin,* Liriodendrin, Menispermin, Myri- cin, Phytolaccin, Prunin, Rhusin, Rumicin, Smilacin, Stillingin, Taraxin, Trillin, Vibur- nin, Xanthoxylin. Class IV. Concentrations which consist of alkaloids or alkaloidal salts in more or less impure form: Ilydrastin, Hydrastia Sulphate, Muriate, etc. ; Sanguinarin, Sanguinarina Nitrate, Sulphate, etc. Those concentrations whose names have the stars appear in the market in both pul- verulent and oleoresinous forms.

Ordinary cotton contains, in addition to the dirt and other matter that accompan/ it, some fatty and coloring matter. The fatty matter does not, permit the cotton to absorb water or aqueous fluids to any appreciable extent, and the unpurified is therefore of no value for surgical and pharmaceutical pur- poses. There are several methods by which ordi- nary cotton may be rendered absorbent. An easy process is to wash it repeatedly with ether, which, of course, extracts or dissolves out the fatty matter. The first portions of ether may be economically replaced by gaso- lin or petroleum ether, finishing the washing with ether so as to avoid the odor of gasolin PH A RAIA CE U TICA L PREP A RA TIONS. 25 in the product. By means of this process cotton can be rendered absorbent and be dried in a very few minutes. The process adopted by manufacturers on the large scale is usually about as follows: Boil any desired quantity of the best cord- ed cot?bn with a 5-per-cent, solution of caus- tic potassa or soda for one-half hour, or until the cotton is entirely saturated with the solu- tion, and the alkali has saponified all the fatty matter; wash thoroughly in clear water to remove all the soap and nearly all the alkali; press out the excess of water; place in a 5-per-cent solution of chlorinated lime, allowing to remain for 15 or 20 minutes; again wash, first in some clear water, then dip in water acidulated with hydrochloric acid, and wash again thoroughly in clear wa- ter ; press out the excess of water and again boil for 15 or 20 minutes in 5-per-cent alkali solution; now wash well in clear water, dip in water acidulated with hydrochloric acid, and again wash thoroughly in clear water; now press out the water and dry. Owing to the cellular character of cotton, it is very likely to absorb a liquid and not readily give it up again; hence when cotton is to be well washed, it should be kneaded with the hands or otherwise. In removing excess of water or other liquid, an ordinary clotheswringer will be found to serve the purpose admirably. Cotton batting, as pur- chased, ordinarily occurs in rolled sheets; if care be taken in the above manipulation, the product can be made to retain this “ sheet ” form. Medicated Cottons.—These are prepared by impregnating good absorbent cotton by means of immersion in liquid containing the medicating substance. Sometimes a large excess of liquid is employed for impregna- tion, the excess being removed by subsequent expression; or else only so much is used as that when the whole is taken up by the cot- ton,' the latter will contain the requisite or prescribed amount of medicament. In the former case, the expression may be by means of an instrument like an ordinary clothes- wringer, conducting the expression so that the liquid which the cotton is allowed to re- tain will yield a proper strength of finished product. In either case, therefore, the result is identical, and while preference is usually given, in the formulas which follow, to the use of a large amount of liquid, the other process may be substituted, the result always depending more on the care and skill of the operator than on any other circumstance. In impregnating cotton, it may be necessary to knead the latter with the liquid, and some- times even to macerate for one or two hours; if the small quantity of liquid be used, then the cotton must be weighted down in some convenient manner. In expressing cotton after impregnating in a large quantity of liquid, it may be advisable to wrap the cot- ton in parchment paper to protect it from the press; if salicylic acid be present, the solu- tion and cotton must not be allowed to come in contact with any iron parts. Cotton must always be passed through the press evenly to medicate uniformly. Drying of impregnated cotton may be done on screens either in a drying closet or in a room which is dry and perfectly aseptic or clean. Good absorbent cotton, when dipped in water,will take up or retain,after expression, twice its weight of liquid, each pound of dry cotton yielding therefore three pounds of moist cotton. All prepared cottons should be kept in suitable receptacles or wrappers such as glass, parchment paper, paraffined paper, paraffined or resin-coated pasteboard boxes, etc., to prevent loss by evaporation or acces- sion of septic matter.

While yet hot, add the remain- ing drugs, and when cold, strain without pressure, set the decoction aside to settle, and decant the clear liquid. The formula given above is the one for- merly in vogue. The formula recognized by the German pharmacopoeia contains no mer- curials whatever; the proportions of the re- maining ingredients is somewhat different, although the difference is a very immaterial one, and the water added to the drugs is 34 fluidounces, the colature; after heating for some hours, being made up to 32 fluidounces. The formula given is an unscientific one, but contains mercury in some form, unless the evaporation has been conducted in me- tallic vessels, and hence is often preferred on this account.

By a simple elixir is commonly understood a flavored and sweetened dilute alcohol, in- tended as a vehicle for medicinal remedies, the flavoring agent being a volatile oil or combination of oils. The term may, how- ever, include all such elixirs as are employed as vehicles, although these may be something more than a flavored and sweetened dilute alcohol. If the second definition holds good, then the following elixirs, which have already been mentioned, will come under the head of sim- ple elixirs: Elixir of orange, elixir of' cher- ries, aromatic elixir, compound elixir of taraxacum, elixir de Garus, elixir of anise and adjuvant elixir. PH A RMA CE V PICA L PREP A RA T10NS. 75 Whenever simple elixir is mentioned, as an ingredient of a preparation in this formu- lary, some one of the elixirs that are prepared by simply flavoring and sweetening dilute alcohol should be selected, such a one was will best disguise the taste of the medicament; at times it will, of course, be found necessary or advantageous to employ one of the others, like compound elixir of taraxacum, elixir of cherries, etc. In case there be no preference whatever, the aromatic elixir of the pharma- copoeia should be used. It is suggested that a finer product will al- ways be obtained by using deodorized alco- hol instead of ordinary alcohol; also that no volatile oil be used which is not only perfect- ly pure, but also perfectly fresh. Formulas for making other simple elixirs are the following: I. Oil of orange fl.dr.

Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. Emulsions of fixed oils may be prepared by the use of a number of emulsifying agents, such as acacia, tragacanth, extract of malt, yolk of egg, glycerite of yolk of egg, condensed milk, mucilage of Irish moss, tincture of quillaja, and dextrin. In preparing an emulsion of cod liver oil, PHA PM A CP U TIC A L PREP A RA TIONS. 81 any of these may be employed ; The National Formulary recognizes five emulsions of cod liver oil made with mucilage of Irish moss, acacia, glycerite of yolk of egg, tincture of quil- laja, tragacanth, and dextrin mucilage. These emulsions may be plain; that is, may consist simply of oil, emulsifier, water, sugar and flavoring, or they may be combined with other agents, such as hypophosphites, phos- phates, lactophosphates, phosphorus creo- sote, etc., or perhaps with two or more such agents. The method adopted in incorporat- ing these medicaments varies according to its character; if it be soluble in the oil, it is added to the latter before emulsifying, and if soluble in water it is dissolved in the latter before it is added to the mixture of gum and oil. Should, however, the substance not be soluble in either the oil or water, then other methods still must be adopted; if it be solid in character, it should be triturated to a very fine powder and be added to the emul- sion ; if it be an alcoholic liquid, like tincture of benzoin or spirit of nitrous ether, it is generally best to add it to the emulsion after all the water has been added. Emulsions of cod liver oil usually require flavoring, and this consists most frequently in the addition of a volatile, like cassia, wintergreen, bitter almonds, sassafras, etc, which should be added to the cod liver oil, or it may consist of a flavored syrup like syrup of tolu, which should be incorporated with the emulsion after most of the water has been added. No objection can be made to using two or three flavoring agents. The emulsions given here are made with the use of different emulsifying agents and different flavoring agents, but no one need be restricted to the use of such of either as may be mentioned. I.

This is a stock emulsion (without flavor) to be used for preparing the usual 50 per cent simple emulsion of cod liver oil, or compound emulsions containing such addi- tions as may be desired. It is advisable to keep this emulsion in the bottles in which the emulsions are usually dispensed, 7 fluidounces in an 8-ounce bot- tle, 14 fluidounces in a 16-ounce bottle, etc. Whenever an emulsion of cod liver oil, sim- ple compound, is wanted it can then fre- quently be prepared by simple addition of the requisite ingredients.

When all this mixture is exhaust- ed, follow it with diluted alcohol, percolating until no more extractive is obtained. Re- serve the first 14 fluidounces of percolate, evaporate the remaining percolate, at a tem- perature not above 50 degs. C., to soft ex- tract, add this to first percolate, and finally add enough diluted alcohol to make 16 fluidounces.—U. S. P. II. Another preparation highly desirable for hypodermic use is the following: “Purified ergot” is digested with twice its weight of water at 65 degs. C., for 24 hours and expressed; the residue is again mace- rated in'warm water for 12 hours. After set- tling, the expressed liquids are strained and evaporated separately; when both together weigh one-half as much as the ergot em- ployed, they are mixed and sufficient alcohol added to make the liquid of 25 per cent alco- holic strength, or one-third as much as the aqueous solution. After standing for several hours, the liquid is filtered and the gummy residue washed with so much 25 per ceht alcohol as to make the filtered liquid measure three-fourths or 75 per cent of the amount of crude drug employed (volume for weight). To this glycerin is added to make the fin- ished preparation represent the amount of crude drug ergot originally used, pint for pound. This preparation should be kept in small well-filled bottles in a cool, dark place. Purified ergot employed in making the lat- ter preparation may be made by percolating coarsely powdered ergot with deodorized benzine, until no more fatty matter is ex- tracted, then passing alcohol through the drug until all the benzine is displaced, and then spreading the extracted drug out in thin layers and allowing it to remain exposed until perfectly dry and free from the odor of alco- hol and benzine. Such a prepared ergot will keep indefinitely. Extract of Galanga, Fluid.

The product is eight times the strength of the compound tincture, which latter may be prepared from it by mixing 2 fluidounces. of it with 10% fluidounces of alcohol and Z]/2 fluidounces of water. Extracts, Liquid. A class of preparations by the name of “liquid extracts ” are recognized by the Brit- ish pharmacopoeia and British Formulary. These are in general of the same strength as the fluid extracts of this country, and such of the liquid extracts as are recognized in this formulary are mentioned under the title of “ fluid extracts.” Extract of Licorice. I. Licorice, coarse powder av.oz. 17*4 Ammonia water fl.oz. 2j4 Distilled watef sufficient Mix the ammonia water with 48 fluidounces of water,macerate the drug with this mixture, macerate for 24 hours, pack in a percolator, and percolate with the remainder of the mixture, and then with distilled water until the drug is practically exhausted. Evaporate the liquid obtained on a water bath to pilular consistence. This is the U. S. P. formula for pure ex- tract of licorice. II. Extract of licorice in sticks, Water of each, sufficient Put a layer of well-washed rye-straw over the bottom of a keg or other suitable tall ves- sel. Then put a single layer of sticks of ex- tract, broken into coarse pieces, over it. Continue to put in alternate layers of straw and extract until the vessel is full, or the whole of the extract has been disposed of. Fill the vessel with cold water, and allow it to remain for 3 days. Then draw off the solution, which has formed, by means of a faucet, or siphon, or otherwise, refill the ves- sel with cold water, and proceed as before. Mix the several solutions obtained, allow any suspended matter to subside, decant the clear solution, and strain the remainder without pressure. Finally evaporate the liquid on a water bath to the consistence of a pilular extract. This is the N. F. formula for purified ex- tract of licorice. III. Licorice root, cut av.oz. 8 Distilled water sufficient Dry the licorice, reduce it to coarse pow- der, macerate with 24 fluidounces of water for 12 hours, and express; mix the residue with 16 fluidounces of hot water, macerate for 1 hour and again express. Mix the two liquids, add some filter paper pulp or scraps of filter paper, boil for not less than 15 min- utes, removing the scum, and filtering. This filtrate must be returned to the filter until it is absolutely clear or transparent. Then evaporate to the consistence of thick honey, set it aside in a cool place for 2 days, dissolve in 2 parts of water, filter again, and evaporate on a water bath to thick extract. Inasmuch as the liquids obtained or pro- duced in the manufacture of this preparation “sour” quite easily, this extract is best made 96 THE STANDARD FORMULARY. during the cool seasons of the year, the different operations also being performed as rapidly as possible. The yield from Russian licorice is 35 to 38 per cent; from Spanish, 20 to 25 per cent. —D. IV. Russian licorice, coarsely pow- dered. .av.oz. 8 Alcohol fl.oz. 9 Water sufficient Pour 40 fluidounces of cold water over the licorice, allow to stand for 4 hours, stirring frequently, and then express. Extract the press cake with 24 fluidounces of boiling water and again express. Mix the two liquid extracts and at once. Evaporate to 4 av. ounces, and add to the solution while hot the alcohol, and allow to stand for 24 hours. Then filter through pa- per and from the filtrate distill off 5 fluid- ounces. Evaporate the residue to a medium thick extract consistence. The extract is completely soluble in water. The yield is about 18 to 20 per cent. It is necessary, particularly in summer, to perform the operation rapidly; by beginning at 6 in the morning one can be ready by midday to go on with the evaporation and the alcohol can be added by evening.—D. Extract of Lobelia, Compound Fluid. Lobelia herb av.oz. 8^f Skunk cabbage av.oz.

Add 32 fluid- ounces of water to the residue, boil for an- other half-hour, and again strain. Repeat the process for a third time, and having mixed the strained liquors, evaporate over a water bath (or preferably in vacuo) until the product measures 16 fluidounces. Set aside for 7 days, and then decant the clear liquor by means of a syphon from any sediment that may have been deposited.—Brit. Form. * Extract of Lovage. (Extractum Levis- tici.) Exhaust powdered lovage in any suitable manner, using as a menstruum a mixture of 4 parts of alcohol and 5 of water by measure. Evaporate the liquid upon a water bath to the consistence of thick extract. The yield of extract is about 18 per cent.—D. Extract of Malt. I. Barley malt, ground, not finer than No. 20 av.oz. 17^£ Distilled water fl.oz. 80 Mix the malt with 16 fluidounces of water, macerate for 6 hours, then add the remain' der of the water at a temperature of 30 degs. C. and digest the whole on a water bath at a temperature not exceeding 55 degs. C. for an hour. Strain and preSs out all the liquid from the residue. Evaporate the colature at once on a water bath, or prefer- ably in a vacuum apparatus, at a temperature not exceeding 55 degs. C.,as rapidly as prac- ticable, to the consistence of thick honey. The extract must be preserved in well- closed vessels in a cool place.—U. S. P. 1880 and N. F. II. The following is a process for preparing a malt extract of somewhat different character, the quantities given here being, of course, such as would be used upon a tolerably large scale; these may, of course, be reduced as desired: Use a tube or churn of a capacity of 5 gallons and having a perforated false bottom. Pour into it 3gallons of water of a tem- perature of about 76 to 78 degs. C., then add l/2 peck of barley malt, coarsely ground, gradually stirring it in well. Cover the ves- sel and set away in a warm place, and allow to remain perfectly at rest for 3 or 4 hours, taking care that the temperature does not fall below 65 degs. C. This is the process of mashing. At the end of the allotted period of time, open the stop-cock below, draw off the fluid; now sprinkle over the top of the malt some PH A RMA C,E U TIC A L PREP A RA TIONS. 97 water a little above the temperature of the extract, and draw off the fluid below, until the malt is practically exhausted. Evaporate the fluid by means of a water bath to thick consistence. The tub or churn must be kept perfectly clean. Once a week it should be washed with alkaline water and when not in use it should be kept filled with lime water. Extract of Malt, Fluid. Malt av.oz. 16 Alcohol, Water of each, sufficient Reduce the malt to coarse powder, not finer than No. 20. Moisten it with 8 fluid- ounces of a mixture of 1 volume of alcohol and 3 volumes of water, and set it aside, well-covered, until it has ceased to swell. Then mix it with as much of the menstruum as it will take up without dripping, pack it uniformly, but without pressure, in a perco- lator, and add enough of the before-men- tioned menstruum to cover it. When the liquid begins to drop from the orifice, close the latter, and allow the contents to macerate during 24 hours, adding from time to time more menstruum, if necessary, to keep the malt just covered. Then remove the cork and allow the percolation to proceed until the percolate weighs 12 av. ounces. Set this aside, well-corked, until any suspended mat- ters have been deposited. Then decant the clear liquid and preserve it for use. The product thus obtained may be regard- ed as being practically equivalent to the drug in the proportion of minim for grain, the ap- parent excess of dissolved matters present in the first portions of the percolate being about offset by the soluble matters still remaining in the drug, when the percolation is inter- rupted.—N.

Pharm. in not containing an addition of milk sugar to standardize the morphine strength and keep it in the powder form. This addition of a foreign substance is, however, not necessary, if the process is modified, in shaking the concentrated opium infusion with an equal part of petroleum ben- zin; allow to stand together until separation has taken place; decant the benzin and evap- orate the infusion to dryness. The extract so produced is easily reduced to powder and will remain in this form, is readily soluble in water, producing therewith a clear solution. Extract of Opium, Aqueous Deodor- ized Fluid.

Most extracts now appear on the market, not only in the old-style plastic form, but also in the form of powder. Inasmuch as almost all plant extracts are injured by the application of heat, the powdered extracts do not very well represent the drug, less so in fact than almest any preparation made from a crude drug. However, there is a de- mand for these powdered extracts, and this demand must and will be supplied. Extracts PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS. 101 like those of opium and kino can be evap- orated to dryness without any appreciable injury to the principles present, but others again, like hyoscyamus, valerian, etc., are very susceptible to change, either because of the presence of easily decomposable princi- ples or because of the presence of volatile matter. These latter extracts should never be prepared in the powdered form. In making powdered extracts of drugs con- taining volatile or easily decomposable prin- ciples, the temperature employed in drying should be quite low, say not to exceed 55 degs. C. The drying of the extract may be facilitated by spreading out in a thin layer and warming in a drying room or closet at the specified temperature, driving a current, of warm, dry air through the chamber if this be convenient. Even then it may not be advisable or possible to reduce the extract to such dryness that it can be powdered, and then it becomes necessary to add a small amount of some substance, such as milk sugar or some of the powder of the drug itself. If the drug contains considerable fixed oil, the extract cannot be dried thor- oughly and the intervention of such a powder is necessary. It is also to be remembered in this connection that in making powdered extracts, glycerin must not enter into the menstruum employed in the extraction of the drug, as this will prevent the extract from drying. * After an extract has been reduced to dry- ness, either with or without the intervention of the added powder, it should be reduced to fine powder and then be preserved in well- stoppered, wide-mouthed bottles.

Then add sufficient glycerin to bring the whole up to 2 fluidounces. Of this extract, which is clearly soluble, 4 fluidrams is suffi- cient to make 16 fluidounces of honey of rose. However, according to the U. S. pharma- copoeia, honey of rose should be made from fluid extract of rose. Extracts, Saccharated. These are a class of powdered extracts which represent the drug, weight for weight. They are prepared by exhausting the pow- dered drug with a suitable menstruum, evap- orating the tincture to thick extract, adding some sugar of milk, continuing the evapora- tion to dryness, powdering and adding enough milk sugar to make up the weight of the original drug. With one exception, these extracts are TIIE STANDARD FORMULARY. seldom or never prescribed or used, the ex- ception being saccharated extract of coto. Extract of Sarsaparilla.

Exhaust senega in fine powder by perco- lation or any other suitable process, using as a menstruum a mixture of 4 parts of alcohol and 5 parts of water by measure; then evap- orate the tincture on a water bath to dryness. The yield is about 25 per cent.—D. modified. Extract of Senna, Aqueous Fluid. The preparations sold commercially under this title are usually made by infusing cut senna leaves with enough hot water to just cover them, allowing to macerate for an hour or two, straining and expressing the liquid, infusing the residue again as before, strain- ing and expressing the liquid again in the course of an hour or two, and mixing the two liquids. This liquid usually measures more than a finished fluid extract should measure, and inasmuch as it is not practica- ble to evaporate this infusion, the fluid ex- tract of the market is prepared from the latter by adding enough alcohol to preserve it, allowing to stand for 24 hours, and filtering the liquid from the precipitated mucilage. The product is, of course, not properly a fluid extract. A better process for this preparation is the process of the National Formulary for mak- ing deodorized fluid extract of senna, which is as follows: Senna, fine powder av.oz. 17]/2 Alcohol, Water of each, sufficient Moisten-the senna with fluidounces of alcohol, pack it firmly in a percolator, and percolate it with alcohol until it is practically exhausted by this menstruum. The alcoholic percolate thus obtained is rejected, and the alcohol may be recovered therefrom by dis- tillation.

This is not rightly a fluid extract; it is designed for the convenient preparation of the official tincture, which may be prepared by mixing 2J£ fluidounces of the “ fluid ex- tract ” with fluidounces of alcohol. Extract of Tolu, Soluble Fluid. The preparation which passes under this name may be prepared according to the fol- lowing process: Tolu balsam av.oz. 2J£ Magnesium carbonate gr. 100 Glycerin fl.oz. 6 Water, Alcohol of each, sufficient Mix 5 fluidounces of the alcohol with the glycerin, add the balsam, and dissolve the latter by the aid of a moderate heat, shaking frequently, and avoiding loss by evaporation. Now add 6 fluidounces of water, allow the mixture to become cold, decant the milky liquid from the resinous precipitate, mix the decantate intimately with the magnesium carbonate in a mortar, filter, and wash mor- tar and filter with enough of a mixture of 1 part of alcohol and 2 of water by measure to make the filtrate measure 16 fluidounces. This is designed for the rapid manufacture of syrup of tolu, which may be made by mix- ing 1 fluidounce of this “ fluid extract ’’ with 15 of simple syrup. It is to be noted that the National Formu- lary recognizes a soluble tincture of tolu which was intended for the rapid preparation of syrup of tolu; this tincture is, however, not 16 times the strength of the syrup, as stated by the National Formulary. Extract of Valerian. Exhaust valerian root in fine powder by percolation or any other suitable process, using as a menstruum a mixture of 4 parts of alcohol and 5 of water by volume.

The adipose tissue adhering to the kidneys, mesentery and omentum of the hog is con- sidered the source of the best lard. This is freed from all flesh, then cut into small pieces, removing, as far as possible, all bloody matter and the membranous tissue. Then heat in a tinned copper, porcelain, or enam- eled iron dish on a water bath until the fat is about all melted, and then strain. Lard, Anhydrous. Lard may be made perfectly anhydrous by heating the preceding on a water bath for about 30 minutes with about one-twelfth its weight of anhydrous or dry sodium sulphate in very fine powder, then filtering through paper, using some system of hot filtration to maintain the lard in a liquid state. Lard prepared in this manner remains “ sweet ” much longer than the preceding. —D. Lard, Balsamic.

(Compound Oil of Eu- phorbium. Baunscheidt was a German charlatan who claimed to cure rheumatic and other diseases by means of what he called jl “ lebens- wecker, ” i. e., “ awakener ” or “ revulseur. ” This consists of a number of sharp-pointed needles set in a bed of hard rubber. By means of a spiral-spring arrangement these needles are driven into the skin over the seat of pain, not deep enough to draw blood, while into the wounds produced is rubbed the “ Baunscheidt oil.” This is an irritat- ing substance and produces papular eruptions similar to those produced by croton oil. The effect is that of a powerful counter-irritant. In medicine this treatment is known as acu- puncture. Formulas for the oil are as fol- lows: I.

Rademacher was a physician who lived about one hundred years ago in Germany. He entertained peculiar ideas regarding the THE STANDARD FORMULARY. for granular effervescent salts, the prepara- tion of which requires certain modifications of the formulas, important only in so far as they enable the dispenser to granulate the powder in a convenient and expeditious manner. Effervescent powders or salts are composed of the medicinal agent in admixture with an alkaline bicarbonate, an organic acid, and sugar. The proportion of the medicinal agent is dependent upon its dose, that of the alkaline bicarbonate and of the organic acid is dependent upon their molecular relation to each other, while the proportion of sugar is dependent upon the quantity necessary as a sweetening agent and diluent. The ingredients for making the fine pul- verulent form of effervescent powders are: The medicinal agent, sodium bicarbonate, tartaric acid and sugar, and it is necessary that these be well dried before mixing them. To make the granular form of effervescent salts the ingredients need not be dried, unless specially directed, and the ingredients are the same as for the pulverulent form, with the single exception that one-half the mole- cule of tartaric acid is replaced by one-half a molecule of powdered citric acid. In order to facilitate the manufacture of effervescent salts, the new National Formulary recognizes three new preparations, viz.: sac- charated citric acid, saccharated tartaric acid, and saccharated sodium bicarbonate. Saccharated citric acid is prepared by mix- ing 5 av. ounces of citric acid with 3 av. ounces of sugar, each to be in very fine powder. Saccharated tartaric acid is prepared by mixing 6f av. ounces of tartaric acid with 3|- av. ounces of sugar, each to be in very fine powder. Saccharated sodium bicarbonate is prepared by. mixing 6 av. ounces of sodium bicar- bonate with 2 av. ounces of sugar, each to be in very fine powder. The ingredients of these preparations should be intimately mixed, and should be preserved in well-stoppered bottles. The proportion of sugar in these saccha- rates is so adjusted that when either of the acid saccharates is mixed with an equal weight practice of medicine, as well as the prepara- tion and action of drugs. Many of his peculiar preparations are prescribed in this country by the older German physicians, and more recently some of them have been employed by physicians partial to the eclectic school. This class of preparations includes the fol- lowing: 1. Drops, Dysmenorrhoea. 2. Extract of Tobacco. 3. Mixture, Copper. 4. Mixture, Diarrhoea. 5. Mixture, Iron. 6. Ointment, Calamine. 7.

Salts, Effervescent. The effervescent salts or powders, for which formulas are here given,are most conveniently and efficiently dispensed in the form of fine powders, because in this condition they can be made extemporaneously and with an assurance of their freshness and efficiency. The popular demand, however, seems to be PH A RMA CE U TlCA L P PE PA PA TION S. 125 of the alkaline saccharate, the acid and alkali are in molecular relation to each other, and, when dissolved in water, will form the neutral tartrate and citrate of sodium respec- tively. With these three saccharates in stock, it becomes possible to make effervescent pow- ders or salts quickly with any medicinal agent that may be prescribed, their use being exem- plified by the following general formulas: I. Fine Powder: Medicinal agent, fine powder, .av.oz. 2 Saccharated sodium bicarbon- ate av.oz. 19 Saccharated tartaric acid av.oz. 19 Triturate the ingredients until a uniformly mixed powder is obtained. In order to insure permanence of the product, the ingredients should be well dried before mix- ing. II. Granular Salt: Medicinal agent, fine powder, .av.oz. 2 Saccharated sodium bicarbon- ate av.oz. 19 Saccharated tartaric acid av.oz. 9>4 Saccharated citric acid av.oz. 9y2 Mix the ingredients (not dried) in a mortar, transfer them to an evaporating dish, and heat on a water bath, kept at 60 to 71 de- grees C., under constant stirring with a wooden spatula, until dry and uniformly granular. The saccharated citric acid, being made from crystallized citric acid containing one molecule of water of crystallization, supplies the moisture necessary to cause the powder, when heated, to cake and adhere together. If the somewhat pasty mass is then stirred with the spatula, small granules are readily formed, and these become firm when completely dried. Another method of making the granular effervescent salts is to add to either of the above mixtures just enough alcohol to form a pasty mass, then rubbing this through a No. 20 porcelain colander, and drying the product in a drying room at a gentle heat. The alcohol used should be just sufficient to form a pasty mass, as an excess would make the drying require a longer period of time, and at the same time would prove a serious waste. The alcohol method of making efferves- cent salts is recognized by the U. S. P., the heat method by the N. F. It is, of course, not always that the propor- tion Of the ingredients is the same as in the above general formulas. There may, for example, be more or less of the medicinal agent, and it may be necessary to add an extra amount of sugar. It is not necessary, either, to use any of the saccharates mentioned, the alkaline bicarbonate, acid, sugar and medici- nal agent or agents. Throughout the process of making these ‘ ‘ salts, ’ ’ contact with metals should be care1- fully avoided. The mixtures should always be preserved in well-stoppered, wide-mouthed bottles.

C. ; then allow to cool, filter and pass enough water through the filter to make the product weigh 20 av. ounces.—D. Instead of using barium chloride, calcium chloride may be used. In this case, how- ever, the mixture of the two salts should be set aside in a cold place, for at least one week, in order that the excess of sulphate of cal- cium, not retained in solution, may separate. And when filtering the solution, it will hardly pay to wash out the small amount retained by the precipitate. Of course, when a solu- tion of a definite strength is required, the first-mentioned formula should be used. But when the liquid is wanted as a disinfectant, the second method may be employed.

Continue boiling for 15 minutes, then reihove the vessel from the fire, and filter the liquid through calico, returning that which passes through at first until a perfectly clear liquid is obtained. Concentrate this by evaporation to 16 fluidounces, and pre- serve in a glass-stoppered bottle.— Brit. Pharm. Owing to the fact that most of the black antimony of the market is very impure, great care should be exercised in the selec- tion of a suitable article. This black anti- mony should be in fine powder. The boiling of the liquid should either be done under a good flue or in the open air, to avoid tainting the atmosphere of the room with the disa- greeable odorous sulphuretted hydrogen gas.

Dieterich recommends adding to the fatty matter in the dish 1-20 its weight of dried sodium sulphate in fine powder, con- tinuing the heat for 15 minutes after thorough fusion has occurred, stirring frequently and filtering by hot filtration. The sodium sulphate removes moisture and assists in separating the membranes.

Tinctures, Mother. The “mother tinctures” of the homeopa- thists are the basic preparations of crude drugs from which the attenuations or “potencies” are formed. They should be made from freshly gathered drug, which is to be con- tused and then macerated for 14 davs with a mixture of alcohol and water in such pro- portion that the percentage of spirit in the product shall be the same as in the diluted alcohol, and the drug shall bear to the finished product the relation of 1 to 10, the former being calculated as dry drug. In other words a portion of the drug must first be dried, then bruise remainder to a pulp, add 5 times its weight (as dry drug) of alcohol and then enough water to make up twice the weight of the alcohol used, strain and express at the end of 14 days, add enough of diluted alcohol through the strainer to make up the weight of drug and liquid just expressed, and finally filter the whole. Inasmuch as fresh drugs are not generally obtainable, dry drugs are usually employed in their stead. Mother tinctures may be conveniently pre- pared from ordinary tinctures by dilution with diluted alcohol. Only distilled water should be used for homeopathic preparations; also the best alcohol should be used for these. Good “cologne spirit” is generally dispensed ‘ ‘homeopathic alcohol. ’’ Tincture of Mugwort Root, Rade- ifiach.er’s. (Tincture of Artemisia.) Mugwort root, cut fine av.oz.

The use of the term “normal” as applied to tinctures is confined to Eclectic pharmacy, and it signifies that the product, the “nor- mal tincture,” represents the dry drug, weight for weight. They may be prepared from fresh or from dry drugs or by the use of a greater or less proportion of alcohol in the menstruum, but the strength of the product is always based upon the drug in a dry con- dition. Good fluid extracts may always be dispensed in place of the corresponding “nor- mal tinctures.” Normal tinctures are designated by Eclec- tics for brevity’s sake, as “tinctures Tinctures one-half the strength of normal tinctures are called semi-normal (®); one-fifth as quinti-normal (“); one-tenth as deci- normal ("), etc. Tincture of Nux Vomica, Rade- macher’s.

While this part of the work is not intended in any sense as a treatise upon the manufac- ture of proprietary medicines, it is proposed to impart to the pharmacist such information as he requires in preparing remedies for ordi- nary ailments, for popular use and sale, and thereby to replace “patent” medicines. These remedies may be offered by the phar- macist for sale under his own name or that of a pseudonym, if the latter be preferred. Ague Cures. Remedies for the relief and cure of fever, ague, and chills, or, more properly, malaria, are not of such frequent use as they were some years ago; however, there is still a demand in some sections, and the pharmacist must be prepared to supply the want. Most of these remedies are made to contain cin- chona or one or more of its alkaloids, some- times also arsenic and frequently some iron or a cathartic. These preparations may assume the form of liquid or pills, or even some other form, but the two mentioned are the most common. They may be entitled “Peruvian Ague Cure, ’ ’ “Ague Tonic, ” “Ague Tonic Syrup” “Ague Tonic Cure,” “Chill Cure,” “Chill Tonic,” “Ague Pills,” “Anti-Chill Pills,” Cholagogue,” “Ague Remedy,” “Ague Bitters,” “Ague Specific,” “Fever and Ague Tonic,” “Febrifuge,” “Ague Specific,” etc. I.

The number of titles employed to designate asthma remedies is comparatively small; the following are appropriate: ‘ ‘ Asthma Rem- edy, ” “Asthma Elixir,” “ Antasthmatic Powder,” “Antasthmatic Remedy,” “Asth- ma Cure,” “Asthma Mixture,” etc. HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES. 165 Asthma remedies are of about three kinds, one for internal administration, one for inhalation, and one to be ignited, the vapor to be inhaled. Favorite ingredients of the first kind are the alkali iodides, ammonium salts, grindelia, wild cherry, lobelia, bella- donna, Hoffman’s anodyne, etc. The liquid preparations for inhalation con- tain amyl nitrite and oil of mustard. Asthma remedies to be used by ignition are usually composed of stramonium, potassium nitrate, belladonna, etc. I.

XV. The Paper of Potassium Nitrate of the U. S. P. may be used. It is prepared by immersing strips of white unsized paper in a solution of potassium nitrate in 4 parts of water, and then drying them. In using they are to be ignited and the vapor inhaled. XVI. Cigarettes may be prepared from a mix- ture of equal parts of stramonium, lobelia, and belladonna herbs. These may be cut to a very fine condition, then rolled in suitable paper, and sealing the ends to prevent the drug from falling out by turning up the ends of the paper. Barber’s Itch, Remedies for.

Blood Purifiers. These preparations may be put up under the names of “Sarsaparilla” “Sarsaparilla Syrup,” “Compound Extract of Sarsapa- rilla,” “Compound Sarsaparilla with Burdock and Iodide of Potassium,” “Compound Syrup of Red Clover Blossoms,” “Blood Purifying Tea,” “Alterative Mixture,” “Blood Cleanser,” or whatever other title may be appropriate, or desirable. The ingredients of this mixture are sarsa- parilla, stillingia, burdock, yellow dock, red clover, any one or more of these combined, sometimes with potassium iodide, often with some laxative. Blood-purifying mixtures are in fact mainly cathartics. Formerly all blood purifiers were prepared in the liquid form; latterly some are prepared in the form of “teas,” or species. Examples of both* kinds are given among the recipes that follow. The “teas” may be termed “Blood-Purifying Tea,” “SarsaparillaTea,” etc. I.

This may be sold as “ Blood-Purifying Drops.” It resembles “ elixir of long life ” or “ Swedish Bitters.” Bunion Cures. The remedies recommended for the relief and cure of corns are usually also recom- mended for the removal of bunions. While these remedies often do afford relief, the two maladies are almost as distinct as they could possibly be. Corns are inflammations of the skin, whereas bunions are inflammations of the synovial membrane, which connects the great toe with the foot proper. Nothing less than a surgical operation will absolutely and permanently cure bunions. Relief to bunions is often afforded as stated by the application of corn cures, assist- ed by frequent bathing in hot water. Fre- quently anointing with petrolatum, the ap- plication of tincture of iodine or of iodine ointment, or the wearing of a rubber protec- tor will prove beneficial. A wrarm flaxseed- meal poultice at night often eases a great deal. Dr. Shoemaker, in his admirable work entitled “ Heredity, Health and Personal Beauty,” recommends the following paint: Carbolic acid fl.dr. 2 Tincture of iodine fl.dr. 2 Glycerin fl.dr. 2 To be applied with a camel’s hair pencil every day.

Catarrh and Cold in the Head, Rem- edies for. Catarrh (or coryza) manifests itself in two general forms, one being acute, which is usu- ally known as “ cold-in-the-headthe other, the chronic form, which is known by the popular designation “ catarrh.” Both forms may be treated in the same, or, at least, in a similar, manner. The remedies for catarrh are multiform. Some are snuffs, others are to be used by inhalation; some by spraying, others by in- sufflation or by injection with syringe ora douche. Others again are in the form of an ointment, which is to be applied to the inte- rior of the nostrils, then to be drawn up; and finally others again are to be taken internally, the latter containing tonics combined with some agent which diffuses itself through the system and thus attacks the local manifesta- tions of the disease. The snuffs contain various agents, the most conspicuous being cocaine, the indis- criminate or careless use of which cannot be too severely condemned. Purchasers of such snuffs should invariably be warned that the cocairife habit is, of all forms, probably the most deadly, and that great danger attends its use in catarrh snuffs, ft should never be recommended in cases of chronic catarrh where its use would be liable to prove con- tinuous. The catarrh remedies used by inhalation contain either menthol or iodine combined with carbolic acid. Those used by spraying (with nasal atomizers) contain liquid petro- latum, having in solution menthol, thymol and various antiseptic volatile oils. The catarrh ointments contain ingredients similar to those of the preceding. They are usually made with tljymol, menthol, or some oil, together with boric acid or bismuth salt and petrolatum. The combinations for insufflation contain potassium iodide, or other iodide, salt, po- tassium chloride, golden seal, carbolic acid, camphor, etc. Good titles for catarrh remedies are “catarrh remedy,” “catarrh snuff,” “cream balm,” “catarrh balm, ” “ catar- rhine,” “catarrh cure,” “ menthol snuff, ” “ mentholin,” etc. I.

Cholera Remedies. See Diarrhoea and Dyseritery Remedies. Corn Eradicators. Remedies for the removal of corns are very numerous and assume divers forms. One of the most common and most popular is a preparation of collodion containing extract of cannabis indica and salicylic acid, sometimes also lactic or acetic acid. Another popular preparation is an ointment or cerate contain- ing about 10 per cent of salicylic acid. These are usually to be applied for 4 or 5 nights consecutively, followed by a hot foot bath, when the corn can be picked out. If this first treatment does not produce satisfactory results, it should be repeated. Better results are obtained if a hot foot bath be taken, also, before application of the remedy, then scrap- ing or cutting off the calloused tissue as far as possible. I.

'/z Melt the plaster, add the salicylic acid, and stir frequently until cool. This may be spread upon cloth like the preceding. X. The remedies previously mentioned will prove of more benefit to “ hard ” corns then to ‘‘ soft ” corns. It has been recom- mended to treat the latter by painting with a solution of silver nitrate in 8 parts of dis- tilled water every fourth or fifth day, in the meantime keeping the toes apart by means of a pledget of cotton smeared with petrola- tum, zinc ointment or other bland fatty sub- stance. The cure or removal of corns is facilitated by frequent washing of the feet, followed by removal of all dead tissue. Lately dry tannin placed between the toes where the corn is located is recommended as a cure for “ soft ” corns. Cough, and Cold Kemedies. Suggested titles for these remedies are ‘‘Cough Remedy,” “Cough Mixture,” “ Cough Syrup,” “ Syrup of Tar and Wild Cherry,” “Children’s Cough Cure” (if in- tended for children exclusively), “ White Pine Syrup,” “ Honey of Hoarhound and Tar,” “Tar, Tolu and Wild Cherry,” “Tar Hoarhound Cough Syrup,” “ Lung Bal- sam,” “ Expectorant,” “ Cough Cordial,” “ Cough Balsam,” etc. Opium in some form or a salt of morphine are constituents of almost every cough mix- ture. This should not be administered to small children or infants and hence it may be advisable to have two preparations, one with- out morphine or opium; this to be entitled THE STANDARD FORMULARY. “Children’s Cough Cure,” or “Infant Cough Mixture,” and the other with mor- phine or opium.

The blackberry juice and syrup are intro- iced for the purpose of disguising the styptic taste of the blackberry root bark, nutgall or other astringent. This is also one object of employing the aromatics, these latter also serving as carminatives. Capsi- cum is introduced with the view of utilizing its stimulant properties. Opium should be introduced with some misgivings, for, as a rule, these “ cordials ” or “ balsams ” are given to children. In fact, it may be advis- able to have two preparations, one containing opium and intended for older children and adults, the other, without opium, for infants and younger children. I.

Most of the “ bitters ” and the liver remedies, and many of the blood puri- fiers are usually recommended for dyspepsia. The remedies recommended especially for dyspepsia contain some stomachic tonic like golden seal, columbo, gentian, bitter orange, etc., combined with a laxative like aloes, so- dium phosphate, rhubarb, etc.; sometimes an alkali like sodium bicarbonate, as well as a carminative or stimulant like peppermint, capsicum, elixir, etc. I.

Something very sim- ilar may be prepared according to this formula: Sodium bicarbonate gr. 5 Resin of jalap gr. 1 Extract of hydrastis, powder gr. 3 Menthol gr. y Make 1 tablet. Pepsin may be added if desired, but it will not serve any purpose whatever in the mixture. One, 2 or 3 of the tablets may be taken after each meal. This mixture may conveniently be com- pressed by one of the hand compressors now so readily obtained. Ear Medicines. Medicines for the ear are of two kinds, one for earache, which may be called “ Earache Drops,” ‘‘Earache Remedies,” or ‘‘ Ear- ache Oils,” the other being intended for the improvement of the hearing, the latter kind being known as “ Ear Oils ” or “ Acoustic Oils.” Of course no medicine will actually improve the hearing when impaired, unless it be due to a waxy concretion present, which may be softened and dissolved. I. Earache Remedies: A. Olive oil fl.dr. 4 Chloroform fl.dr. 4 B. Camphor-chloral m. 40 Glycerin fl.dr. 4 y Oil of sweet almonds fl.dr. 2 y Three drops of this mixture on absorbent cotton to be placed in the ear twice a day, some also being rtibbed behind the ear.

The public demand for preparations for the eye is not large, but it is quite steady, and the formulas here given will suffice for the ordinary affections. If the condition of the eye seems at all serious or is long con- tinued, the patient should invariably be ad- vised to consult a physician who makes a specialty of ophthalmology. The remedies for the eye may be either lotions or ointments. Suitable names are the following: “ Reliable Eye Salve (or Water),” ‘‘White Eye Salve (or Water),” “ Standard Eye Salve (or Water),” “ Im- perial Eye Salve (or Water),” etc. THE STANDARD FORMULARY.

Perspiration and fetor of the. feet is a tol- erably common complaint, but does not ap- pear to the public to be of sufficient impor- tance to make it necessary to consult a physician. Most remedies recommended by pharmacists are in powder, by reason of the majority of them containing- talcum with salicylic acid. These powders should always be exceedingly fine, as otherwise they wiil prove irritating to the already sensitive in- tegument. I.

I and II below), these being in- tended to strengthen or ‘ ‘ tone up ’ ’ organs of gestation to fit woman to endure child bearing with comfort, to prevent, relieve, and cure distressing pains which occur from excessive or tardy menstruation, and to re- lieve the nervous disorders accompanying these complaints. These preparations are known by such names as “ Catholicon,” “ Woman’s Friend,” “ Female Remedy,” ” Mother’s Friend,” “ Female Tonic,” etc. No III below is used as a galactagogue to increase the flow of milk in nursing women; No. IV as an anti-galactagogue or anti-lacteant to suppress or retard the flow of milk; and Nos.

The continued and repeated application of cold upon those portions of the body not well supplied with blood, such as the finger, toes and ears, is liable to produce chilblains or similar disorder; if this application of cold be severe and long continued, the result is frost bite, more or less severe, followed pos- sibly by gangrene (complete destruction of tissue). If the frost bite is only moderately severe, any of the stimulant applications mentioned below will prove beneficial. If it be severe enough so that gangrene may su- pervene, the patient should be directed to place himself immediately under the care of a trustworthy physician. I.

Other suitable preparations may be found under the head of “ Ointments or Salves ” and ‘‘ Liniments,” Part II. Gonorrhoea, Gleet and. Allied Dis- eases. Remedies for gonorrhoea may be used ex- ternally (so-called) or may be exhibited in- ternally. The external remedies are usually in the form of ‘‘injections,” or “washes,” as they are also termed. These usually con- tain a zinc salt combined with hydrastis or one of its alkaloids, lead acetate, opium, car- bolic acid, or other substance. The remedies for internal use contain copaiba or santal oil or both combined with cubeb, matico, spirit of nitrous ether, gum turpentine, eucalyptus, etc. These internal medicines may take the form of paste, capsules, pills or emulsions. The “ external ” and “ internal ” remedies may be used simultaneously, although there is no benefit to be gained by their conjoint use. The “external” remedies usually are known by some fanciful or odd title, or by a number such as “55,” “400,” etc. The “ internal ” remedies are usually known by such titles as “ Sandalwood Pills,” “ Paste of Copaiba, Cubeb and Santal, ” “ Paste of Copaiba and Santal,” “ Paste of Copaiba, Cubeb and Matico,” “ Gonorrhoea Paste,” ‘‘Confection of Cubeb and Copaiba,” ‘‘Mass of Copaiba,” etc. Remedies for external use may also be in the form of bougies; one example of these is given among the following formulas. Every patient suffering with gonorrhoea should be advised to keep the bowels well open and also to refrain from the use of any stimulants during the course of the disease. I.

Headache remedies are now quite numer- ous and almost every pharmacist prepares a remedy to replace the ‘ ‘ patented ’ ’ articles. These remedies are usually put up in the form of powders, capsules, wafers, pills and tablets, but the ingredients are practically alike. The common ingredients of these preparations are acetanilid, phenacetin, caf- feine, bromides, sodium bicarbonate (to cor- rect acidity of the stomach), etc. Some of the headache remedies appear in the form of effervescent salts; the ingredi- ents are, however, similar to those of the other remedies. I. Acetanilid gr. 7 Sodium bicarbonate gr. 2 Caffeine gr. 1 Make 1 powder, pill, capsule or tablet. II. Phenacetin gr. 10 Caffeine gr. 1 Make 1 powder, pill, capsule or tablet. III.

The latter may also be made with the addition of acetanilid; the product will re- semble the different effervescent headache remedies of the market. Itch, Remedies for. The disease known as itch, or, more prop- erly, scabies, is a very annoying and tolera- bly common complaint. It is a parasitic skin disease, and for this reason the mode of treatment is practically the same as for the other skin diseases.

Compound Sulphur Ointment, Part I, is an excellent itch remedy. XIII. Other remedies enumerated under “ Remedies for Berber’s Itch,” “ Eczema Remedies ” and “ Ointments or Salves,” may be employed for the troublesome affection. Kidney Remedies. Some years ago preparations for the kid- neys were marketed under the name of “ Bu- chus;” there have also "been ‘‘Diuretic Elixirs,” and now these preparations are usually termed ‘‘ Kidney and Liver Reme- dies. ’ ’ The latter are therefore to be recom- mended for affections of the liver, kidney and urinary organs. Many of the remedies for liver complaints may consequently be recom- mended for kidney affections and conversely many remedies for the kidney may be recom- mended for the liver. Kidney remedies need not necessarily be of the liquid form; they may be in the form of coarse powder or species which should be infused with water before using. THE STANDARD FORMULARY. I.

Remedies for the liver are usually termed “Liver Invigorators” or “Liver Regulators,” very frequently “ Kidney and Liver Rem- edies;” in’ fact most remedies for liver com- plaints are also recommended for derange- ments of the kidneys. Some of the liver remedies assume the liquid form,''some are in the form of species, some in pill form (see Cathartics), etc. In addition to the formulas here mentioned, some of the blood purifiers, “bitters,” cathartics, and kidney remedies may be recommended for assisting the liver in its functions.

Of late it has become quite the fashion for the public in general to believe they are suffer- ing from nervous disorders, and many so- called “nervines” have appeared upon the market. Some of these contain celery, others phosphorus and damiana, the latter also fre- quently containing kola, nux vomica, gentian, cinchona, or columbo. These preparations may, according to their form or composition, be known as “Celery Compound,” “Celery Nervine,” “Celery Cordial,” “Nerve Tonic,” “Vitalizer,” HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES. 193 ‘‘Vitalizing Tonic,” ‘‘Damiana Compound,” ‘‘Nervous Debility Pills,” ‘‘Aphrodisiac Elixir,” “Aphrodisiac Pills,” “Compound Damiana Pills,” etc. I.

Piles, or hemorrhoids, as they are more correctly termed, are a very common and very annoying affection. They are termed “ internal” piles when they exist within the sphincter controlling the muscles of the anus, and “external” piles when existing outside of this sphincter. Other terms also are used in describing them: Blind piles which are simply a varicose state of the veins without bleeding; itching piles, bleeding piles, which are accompanied by loss of blood at every evacuation, and mucous piles, when pus or mucus only is discharged. Treatment of piles should be both consti- tutional and local. The constitutional treat- ment should consist of the taking of compound licorice powder or one of the “bitter waters” at night. For local treatment, a mixture of an astringent like nutgall, tannin, extract of witch hazel, extract of krameria, lead acetate or iron subsulphate, with an anodyne like opium, belladonna, conium, tobacco, stramo- nium, ergot, or morphine is considered advisa- ble. Other agents sometimes added to this mixture are antiseptics like iodoform, tar, peru balsam, carbolic acid, betanaphthol or salol. This mixture may assume the form of an ointment or of suppositories. The former should be preferred for external, the latter for internal, piles. When the piles are only tolerably severe, these remedies afford prompt relief, but when quite severe, only surgical intervention will effect a cure. I.

Gout Remedies. Rheumatism may consist of remedies for internal or for external use. Those for inter- nal use are to be preferred as affording better results, but the effects are still more mar <:ed if accompanied by the use of a suitable appli- cation (liniment). Rheumatism remedies are usually also rec- ommended for gout. The remedies for the external treatment of gout may consist of liniments or ointments; an example of a suitable gout ointment is mentioned below. (See also Liniments, in Part II.) I.

These preparations usually have a title like “Baby Soothing Syrup,” “ Anise Sooth- ing Drops,” “Infant Teething Syrup,” THE STANDARD FORMULARY. ‘‘Baby Soother,” ‘‘Teething Powders,” etc. Most of the proprietary preparations of this kind depend for their “soothing” effect upon opium; others are simply carminative, de- pending for their value upon anise, some- times combined with fennel, ginger, lactu- carium, lupulin, etc. Inasmuch as the effects of opium are so pernicious, especially upon infants, it is best to refrain from giving formulas containing this agent or its chief alkaloid. There is also the disadvantage, with the use of opium, that it obscures the real difficulty; the infant may be suffering from a vital or dangerous disease which will result fatally if not properly treated by a competent physician. In addition to the formulas for soothing remedies to be administered internally, there are given two others for application to the gums during dentition. I.

The recommending of remedies for the use of syphilitics does not come within the pro- vince of the pharmacist. The formula below, known as the “ Hot Springs Prescription,” is given merely because of its more or less extended use. Other remedies which may prove useful are the ‘‘blood purifiers” con- taining potassium iodide.

These lozenges give great relief from the uncomfortable sensations of heat and dry- ness which characterize many acute and chronic affections of the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat. The lozenge should be allowed to dissolve in the mouth, and one used every two, three or four hours, as necessary. The addition of 2 grains of ammonium chloride will often be beneficial in sub-acute inflammatory condi- tions of the mucous lining of the respiratory tract, while in more chronic affections 2 or 3 minims of the oleoresin of cubebs will serve a good purpose.

Formerly all toothache remedies were pre- pared in the liquid form—“toothache drops” they were termed. Several years ago,pills or pellets, each for one insertion into the cavity of the tooth, came into use. • These have been succeeded lately by pencils or sticks, called “toothache wax” or “toothache gum,” which have become very popular. These consist of a fatty body like yellow or white wax or spermaceti with which is incorporated carbolic acid, creosote, chloral hydrate, cam- phor, etc. This is then formed into small sticks or pencils, or else absorbent cotton is saturated with this mixture, and this is then cut into suitable pieces and formed into similar sticks. A formula for an odontalgic cement is also given. Inasmuch as the public rarely asks for a proprietary toothache remedy, the pharmacist can always ‘ ‘ push ’ ’ his own article; he may even find it advantageous to have several kinds of toothache remedies prepared ready for sale.

Pharmacists are very frequently asked to recommend some remedy for the expulsion of worms in children. The various vermifuges are of different forms, such as syrup,soLution, lozenge, powder, species and electuary. These may be entitled “ Pleasant Worm Syrup,” “Santonin Worm Lozenges,” “Choco- late Worm Syrup,” “Tonic Vermifuge,” “ Ideal Worm Powders,” etc. An almost universal ingredient of these preparations is santonin; other common ingredients are oil or fluid extract of wormseed and pink root. These are usually combined with some pur- gative, such as castor oil, buckthorn, rhubarb, calomel, podophyllin, senna and jalap resin. Another addition sometimes made is some carminative like anise or fennel or the vola- tile oils of either of these. The above described remedies are intend- ed only for pin worms and lumbricoid worms. Tapeworms usually infest adult persons and require much different treatment. Formulas serviceable against the latter are also ap- pended. I. Fluid extract of spigelia ......fl.oz. 5 Fluid extract of senna fl.oz. 3 Oil of anise drops 10 Oil of caraway drops 10 Simple syrup fl.oz. 8 Dose, 1 or more teaspoonfuls at intervals until purging commences.

Santonin gr. 50 Sugar, fine powder av.oz. 4 Tragacanth, fine powder gr. 50 Orange flower water sufficient Triturate the santonin to fine powder, add the tragacanth and sugar, mix well, make into a mass with the water, and divide into 100 lozenges. These are the “ troches of santonin ” of the U. S. P. Plain water may be substituted for the orange flower water. The dose for a child 1 year old is 1 lozenge night and morning; of 2 years, 2 lozenges; of 4 years, 3; of 8 years, 4; of 10 years or more, 5 to 7 lozenges; in all cases to be taken twice daily, and continuing until worms are evacuated. VII. To the preceding mass may be added podophyllin, calomel or resin of jalap; they may be colored pink with solution of car- mine, cochineal color, or tincture of cudbear; or in place of the latter, powdered cacao or chocolate may be added. The lozenges may be flavored with anise, fennel, wintergreen, or other flavor, and the gum tragacanth may be replaced by acacia. VIII.

Oleoresin of aspidium gr. 120 Calomel gr. 5 Divide into 16 capsules. Early in the morning, 1 capsule every 5 minutes, in a tablespoonful of sweetened water: XIII. The addition of the chloroform is said greatly to increase the efficacy of oleoresin of male fern. This is of practical value, as grave symptoms of poisoning have been ob- served after the ingestion of large doses of male fern. The following will prove of benefit: Oleoresin of male fern gr., 20 Chloroform m. 40 Castor oil fl.dr. 1% Croton oil drops 3 This is sufficient for one treatment. THE STANDARD FORMULARY. XIV.

Wart Eradicators. Pharmacists are frequently called upon to recommend or offer some remedy for the eradication of the peculiar excrescences known as warts. These are peculiar in that sometimes a very simple remedy applied but once or twice will cause them to disappear and at other times they persist indefinitely in spite of all treatment. Every one is familiar, of course, with the application of silver nitrate in sticks, concen- trated nitric acid, creosote, carbolic acid, or salicylic acid in any of the forms of corn cures. Glacial, acetic and dichloracetic acid are frequently employed, while some add salicylic acid in the proportion of 1 in 16 to concentrated acetic acid. Another escharotic solution consists of chromic acid 1 part, water 5 parts. Unna recommends mercurial plas- ter containing 5 per cent of arsenic. It is also recommended to shave off the wart to the quick and then to apply a compress wet with a saturated solution of ammonium chlo- ride. A corrosive collodion for warts consists of 1 part of mercuric chloride dissolved in 20 parts of collodion. Other applications are: Concentrated hydrochloric acid, solution of antimony chloride, solution of mercuric nitrate, potassium bichromate, arsenic oleate and copper oleate. Castor oil and oil of cin- namon are also useful. All of these remedies must be applied once or twice daily until the wart disappears. The outer hard, thick layer of cuticle should always be removed before applying anything whatever. An ointment sometimes recommended is the following: Verdigris gr. 50 Savin, powder gr. 50 Soap cerate av.oz. 1 The following powder is said to be very effective: Calomel gr. 30 Boric acid gr. 15 Salicylic acid. f gr. 5 Cinnabar gr. 3 Rub into the wart 2 or 3 times a day. In the case of multiple warts, where a large number appear within a short time, there is some constitutional derangement, and the patients are usually advised to take Fowler’s solution in very small doses, or magnesium sulphate in 5 gr. doses 3 times daily. The following application has been recommended: Sublimed sulphur gr. 120 Glycerin fl.dr. 5 Acetic acid fl.dr. 1 Apply repeatedly to each wart, continuing the treatment for several days. The warts dry up and then drop off. Children’s warts, appearing principally on the hands, may be removed by applying dur- ing several days solution of soda or potassa, and then covering them with collodion con- taining tannin. The same treatment applies for common warts. Erasmus Wilson considers the application of potassa in stick form to be the HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES. 205 quickest and most reliable eradicator, one treatment being all that is usually required. Warts appearing on the skin of elderly per- sons must be looked upon as suspicious (can- cer) and should be shown to a reliable surgeon. Worm Medicines. See Vermifuges. Miscellaneous Remedies.

PROPRIETARY PREPARATIONS This department gave rise, in the first edition of the work, to some criticism based upon the argument that, inasmuch as the formulas given in connection with the desig- nated preparations must, by reason of the ex- treme difficulty, if not the impossibility, of determining exactly the composition of many organic compounds, in numerous instances be more or less conjectural, that therefore all reference to them by their trade titles should be omitted. This argument wholly mistakes the pur- pose of this Part and the nature of the for- mulas given. The editors hold it to be the paramount duty of every pharmacist to know every- thing possible concerning the constituents of everything he may be called upon to dis- pense or sell. In this way only can he dis- charge his obligations in his professional relations to the physical welfare of his patrons. Secrecy and monopoly have, by the humane command of the professions, no legit- imate place in medical science. The formulas in this department are, there- fore, primarily designed not to furnish in- formation for duplicating the various prepara- tions, but to give pharmacists and physicians an approximate idea of their composition and properties. Absolute fidelity to the originals in all details was for this reason not deemed vital, and it should, therefore, be understood that the formulas, unless other- wise specified in each case, are for similar and not for identical preparations. The reader should bear in mind that the titles of preparations in this department are, in nearly every instance, presumptively the property of their respective manufacturers, and can be legally used (until a court decision may otherwise decree) only to designate the original compounds. Competing preparations made by the retail druggist or others have no right in law or morals to valid trade-marked names; no self-respecting druggist will fraud- ulently substitute his own products when another’s is clearly indicated by its specific title. It is, however, the right and the duty of every pharmacist to encourage the use of his own products on their own merits, and in accordance with the recognized principles of honest and open competition. The source of our information is given in most cases and is believed to be reliable, but should any formula, by reason of any incor- rect statement or inference, be regarded as unjust to the original preparation or as impair- ing its reputation, the correction will be cheerfully made on receipt of the requisite information, REFERENCE ABBREVIATIONS.

Bronchial catarrh usually begins with fever and is generally accompanied by coughing, and the discharge of purulent matter from the nose. If the dry cough does not soon loosen, and there is no nasal discharge, the fomentations recommended under “ Glan- ders ” should be employed. These fomenta- tions should not be continued longer than necessary to induce the discharge, as other- wise harm may result to the nasal mucous membrane.

See also Colic Remedies and Con- stipation Cure. Colic Remedies. Colic is usually due to obstinate constipa- tion and reterttion of urine; sometimes it is caused by diarrhoea. If due to the former, purgative and carminative remedies should be administered. When the bowels and urinary organs begin to act, the colic gen- erally ceases. During the course of treat- ment it is advisable to rub the back, abdo- men and legs with a turpentine mixture until perspiration ensues. I.

Diarrhoea Remedies. Diarrhoea is often the result of “ catching cold,” but may also be the precursor or accompaniment of other disorders. Mild cases may be cured by giving dry fodder and warming the drinks. In severer cases, aromatic and bifter substances may be admin- istered, and in some cases astringents may be required. Applications should be made to the entire abdomen; the whole body should be rubbed with a brush of straw or hay, and then covered with blankets so as to retain the perspiration produced by the rubbing.

This is a rather common disease and may result from contracting cold as well as from infection. Two forms are distinguished, a be- nign and a malignant form; the remedies mentioned apply only to the former. The diseased horse is languid, perspires easily, has diminished appetite, and coughs. From the inflamed nostrils flows a discharge, watery at first, later becoming thick and mucous. When the secretion assumes the latter character, a swelling appears in the throat, which interferes with mastication. This swelling will become purulent, break open and discharge, and subsequently will heal, after which the horse appears quite well. Treatment consists in keeping the animal warm by covering with a woolen blanket, also binding a cloth about the throat. In- ternally give mild cathartics, and assist the process of the swelling by the application of suitable ointments or even by means of poultices. I.

This is also employed in obstinate cases. Stomach, and Bowels, Remedies for Inflammation of the. It is generally presumed that inflammation of the stomach and bowels is the result either of a cold or of eating some poisonous weed. The affection is manifested by loss of both appetite and thirst, restlessness, swollen abdomen, constipation, etc. Warm mashes should be given as food and warm linseed meal water be given in place of cold water to drink. Purgatives containing THE STANDARD FORMULARY. oil should be given, also enemas, and the belly should be rubbed with stimulant applica- tions. The following may also be administered: I. Infusion of chamomile (1 in 10).fl.oz. 32 Sodium sulphate av.oz. 10 Linseed oil fl.oz. 26 Salicylic acid gr. 90 Administer one pint every hour until con- stipation is overcome. II. Infusion of chamomile fl.oz. 32 Linseed meal av.oz. 7 Linseed oil fl.oz. 32 Give one pint every 2 hours after the bowels have acted. III. Solution of soap fl.oz. 32 Common salt av.oz. 1 Linseed oil fl.oz. 3 Give this mixture as an injection every hour until the bowels are relieved. IV. Linseed oil fl.oz. 4 Ammonia water fl.oz. 4 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 4 Rub the belly with the above every 3 hours. Tetter or Ringworm, Treatment for. Tetter usually attacks old, underfed ani- mals where stalls are poorly ventilated and unclean. The stalls must first of all be thoroughly cleaned, aired and whitewashed with lime, and the affected parts of the animal treated with the following: Green soap av.oz. 10 Water fl.oz. 10 Pine tar av.oz. 5 Heat in a water bath until of a uniform consistency. Wash the entire body of the animal every 2 days with warm soft or green soap solution (1 to 20), rinse with warm water and when the animal is dry rub the above ointment well in under the hair. Throat, Inflammation of. I. Ammonia liniment fl.oz. 8 Oil of turpentine fl.oz. 8 Rub the throat three times daily with this mixture and then bind with flannel. II. Alum gr. 375 Salicylic acid gr. 24 Honey av.oz. 1 Diluted acetic acid fl.oz. 2 Water fl.oz. 32 Mix and dissolve. Warm the solution and inject into the mouth every half hour. Or a linen cloth moistened with this solution may be em- ployed to wash out the mouth. Udder, Treatment for Inflammation of. Inflamed udder may result from injury or from cold, or as a result of other diseases. In the first stages, the milk appears normal, subsequently becoming thick and even puru- lent or bloody. Treatment consists in gently evacuating the udder mornings and evenings, and limit- ing the animal to half rations, which should consist of easily digestible food. The udder should be bathed in warm water after milk- ing, and after drying an antiseptic applica- tion should be made. If the udder is hot and feverish, the application should contain mercurial ointment. Saline purgatives should be administered internally. I. Salicylic acid gr. 60 Camphorated oil fl.oz. 4 Rubber the udder carefully twice daily. II. Salicylic acid gr. 40 Mercurial ointment . av.oz. 1 Liniment of camphor fl.oz. Apply like the preceding. III. Potassium nitrate av.oz. 2 Sodium sulphate av.oz. 20 Give one-third of the above at morning, at noon and at night in one quart of chamo- mile infusion or other suitable vehicle. Urine, Treatment for Bloody. This is generally brought about by eating sour food such as oxalis, either fresh or dried, which is generally the cause to be looked for. Treatment consists in changing the food. If the disease has been contracted while grazing, change to hay food, or if it has been contracted from dry, place the animal at pas- SHEEP MEDICINES,, ture or give it green food. If the change of food alone proves insufficient then use the following: White lead gr. 45 Sodium acetate gr. 150 Camphor, powder gr. 180 Precipitated chalk av.oz. 4 Mix and divide into 6 powders. Give one powder in a quart of bran mash morning and evening. Worms, Treatment for. Worms are readily produced by insufficient feeding, and are banished by purgative worm medicines. The important point is to give the animal but little food on the day previous, and to administer the worm medicine and the purgative at the same time. Wormwood, powder av.oz. 1 Tansy, powder av.oz. 1 Aloes, powder av.oz. 1 Dippel’s oil fl.dr. 4 Linseed oil fl.oz. 17 Give in two doses, with an interval of five hours. Bring the water to a boil and dissolve the soap in it; then add the kerosene and churn until emulsified. Use 1 gallon of this emul- sion to 8 of water. The above are rather prophylactic in their character and are used generally after shear- ing. One of the most dangerous of the parasitic diseases of sheep is scab, which may be treated either by rubbing poisonous ointments into the fleece by the hand or by immersing the sheep in aqueous mixtures containing some ingredient which will kill the parasites. When any of the flock are infected, all should be dipped, preferably being first sheared if the season permits it. Instead of treating the scab by one applica- tion, some authorities advise the use of a preliminary dip of alkaline water to soften the scabs, or of oil or glycerin well rubbed in for the same purpose. This is to be fol- lowed in two or three days by a poisonous dip. Nearly all advise that the scabs be rub- bed with a stiff brush while the sheep is being dipped. The quantity of dip required for each sheep is variously estimated at from 1 quart to 1 gallon. For small numbers of sheep, say 50 to 100, the larger amount is necessary, while for large flocks, 1 quart for shorn or 2 quarts for unshorn sheep may be allowed. The dip should be kept while in use at a tem- perature of from 100 to 110 degs. F. The sheep should be dipped again within some 6 or 10 days of the first dipping in order to kill before their maturity any parasites which may have developed from eggs which were left upon the animal at the time of the first treatment, as the dip does not destroy the vitality of the eggs. The chief poisons used in the dip are tobacco, arsenic and carbolic acid. Of these, tobacco is the favorite, because its use has not been followed by the fatality that has in times past followed the use of arsenic. Car- bolic acid is too expensive to be used in large quantities, but is an excellent ingredient when only a few sheep are to be treated. The addition of tar to the dips serves a good purpose, as it is not only healing, but serves an excellent purpose in driving away flies. SECTION III—SHEEP MEDICINES. Sheep-Dips. Carbolic Acid Dip.

Hog cholera, swine fever, or swine plague are the names applied to a group of symptoms produced by three distinct types of disease, SWINE MEDICINES. namely, charbon, contagious pneumo-enteritis and epizootic catarrh, all, however, dependent upon recognized specific germs. The second form, pneumo-enteritis, probably is the one most commonly understood, and it is charac- terized by an inflamed, ulcerated condition of the alimentary tract, and fetid, bloody dis- charges—these having determined the popu- lar designation of “ cholera.” Prophylaxis consists in keeping the animal in perfect health by insuring proper hygienic food and surroundings. One of the princi- pal, if not the main, cause of the disease is excessive feeding of corn. Corn-fattened animals are not in a physiological condition, as is well understood, and corn, principally consisting of starch, being particularly prone to fermentation, naturally must favor develop- ment of fermentative diseases in debilitated organisms. Hence corn should largely be replaced by the grains, bran, peas, beans and other nitrogenous foods, which will produce more muscle and less unhealthy fat. Decay- ing and fermenting food should not be offered under any condition. Clean, ventilated stalls that will afford protection against inclement weather, but also plenty of exercise in the open air, are prerequisites. Prophylactic treatment consists in the daily administration of wood or animal charcoal or iron sulphate. Potassium chlorate is also recommended. In fact, experience teaches that the two latter agents are the only ones which proved effective for this purpose or in treating the initial stages of the disturbance. A few formulas are appended. I. Arsenic av. oz. I Antimony sulphide av.oz. 4 Potassium nitrate av.oz. 4 Ferrous sulphate av.oz. 16 Sulphur av.oz. 16 Madder .av.oz. 16 Mix with 12 gallons of slop, and give 1 pint to each hog, the whole being for fifty. II. Capsicum av. lb. 1 Ferrous sulphate av. lb. 2 ' Madder av.lb. 2 Calcium phosphate av.lb. 5 Wood-ashes, sifted av.lb. 10 This may be administered in the same quantity as the foregoing. THE STANDARD FORMULARY. As soon as an animal develops symptoms of the plague it must be isolated from the herd and surrounded by absolutely antiseptic conditions. Constipation, if present, should be relieved by castor oil or rhubarb. The bowels should be frequently irrigated with wafm water; one of the aforementioned pre- scriptions should be administered; the food should be restricted to well-cooked oat or barley meal gruel, or, if this is not borne, boiled corn starch. Some advise putting a trace of sulphuric acid into the drinking water. For the fever potassium nitrate usually is resorted to. In the convalescent stages tonics must be administered. When the disease is fully developed there is little hope, and the animal should be killed and buried with quicklime. In England swine fever comes under the contagious diseases act, and treatment is not permitted. The public health authorities must be ad- vised, who destroy the infected animal. III.

This disease, which is exceedingly conta- gious and prevalent in many localities, is indi- cated by an increase in the temperature of the hog from 37 degs. C., the normal tempera- ture in health, to 40 degs. C., sometimes rising as high as 41 degs. C. The other symptoms are highly colored urine, cold extremities, loss of appetite, and constipation. The following treatment is recommended: A cathartic and diuretic should first be given, consisting of: Potassium nitrate av.oz. Sulphur av.oz. lj^ Magnesium sulphate av.oz. 5 Molasses av.oz. 2 . Water, enough to make fl.oz. 20 Mix the sulphur with the molasses, then add the water gradually, in which the salts have previously been dissolved. Shake the mixture, and give 1 ounce every morning until relieved. This is the dose for hogs of average size; for larger animals the dose should be increased. For diarrhoea and weakness usually result- ing from subsidence of the fever, the follow- ing mixture is administered: Sodium bicarbonate av.oz. 4 Gentian av.oz. 4 Catechu ... av.oz. 4 Cinchona av.oz. 4 Reduce all to powder and mix well. From one-fourth to 1 av. ounce of this pow- DOG AND CAT MEDICINES. 271 der should be given in food. Condition powders should be administered.

Give one-fourth of this mixture every 2 hours. When administering to cats, the powder is best blown through a glass or rubber tube onto the root of the mouth; the liquid medi- cine is best poured upon the front paws, which the animal will lick off to clean them. Appetite, Remedies for Loss of. Dogs are liable to overeating, and this may- result in loss of appetite. Treatment consists in giving an emetic and following this with a purgative and stomachic mixture. I. Tartar emetic gr. l/2 White hellebore gr. 2 Give this powder at one dose. II.

The doses and quantities mentioned in the succeeding formulas are intended for dogs of medium weight—about 50 pounds. Larger animals will require proportionately larger doses and smaller ones smaller doses. Many of the following remedies are adapted for ailments of cats, the dose being somewhat less than for dogs. Pills and liquids are the best forms of medicines to administer to dogs, while powders and liquids are more suitable for cats. In giving medicines to dogs, open the mouth of the animal and place in it crosswise a small stick of wood, then thrust the pill, capsule or bolus down the throat with the- finger; if a liquid, insert the neck of the bot- tle on the side of the mouth and hold the head back so as to compel the dog to swallow. 272 TIIE STANDARD FORMULARY.

When ailing, the first thing is to keep the bird as quiet as possible; this is best accom- plished by covering the cage closely. Most ailments of birds are due to a cold, the cause of which is generally owing to exposure to a draught of air or keeping the bird in an overheated room. To cure a cold, add to the regular food equal parts of a paste consisting of hard- boiled eggs, corn meal and grated apple, the whole well spiced with Cayenne pepper. Sometimes the bird seems hoarse and has apparently lost his voice; this is frequently occasioned by over-singing, and is remedied by dissolving a little pure rock candy in the drinking water. Birds troubled with diar- rhoea can usually be relieved by placing a rusty nail in their drinking water; if this is not effective, recommend “ Diarrhoea Remedy.” Should the bird be troubled with costiveness, mix an additional quantity of green fruit to the regular food; if this does not relieve, rec- ommend “Constipation Remedy.” This is made into a paste, of which a piece the size of a hazelnut is dissolved in a gallon of water and given the birds to drink.

Put a few drops on a lump of sugar in the cage once daily. These preparations may be dispensed under the names “Bird Tonic,” or “Tonic Elixir.” When moulting, special attention should be paid to the birds, as any disease to which they are predisposed will show itself then. Give warming, nourishing food, keep the bird and cage clean, place in the warm sun- light and keep them out of draughts. Should this not be effective to recuperate them, rec- ommend “Tonic Elixir.” The feet are often the seat of disease. To remove accumulations of dirt from the feet, hold them in lukewarm water for three or four minutes each day till the dirt drops off. If the feet are warty and seem to be sore, bathe them as above and grease them with fresh cream, or, still better, with an “ Oint- ment of Cold Cream.” Pimples, or obstruction of the rump gland, is caused where the bird is not using the gland. Open the gland with a fine needle and apply the “ Ointment of Cold Cream.” For lice, supply the cage daily with clean, fresh sand mixed with some “ Insect Pow der. ” PART V. TOILET PREPARATIONS. This division naturally subdivides into the following sections: SECTION 1. Distinctively Odor Piep- arations. SECTION 2. Skin Preparations. SECTION 3. Ilair Preparations. SECTION 4. Mouth (Tooth, Lip, Breath) Preparations. SECTION 5. Bath Preparations. entirely; a residuary odor remains in the case of ordinary alcohol, which is quite marked and very pungent and objectionable. It is in the case of volatile oils probably that the greatest difficulty is experienced in securing first-class material. These sub- stances should always be of the very best quality and of the best grade, free from adul- teration, and should be preserved in small well-stoppered bottles in a cool place. Such oils as those of the citrine variety—orange, lemon, etc.—should be preserved by the ad- dition of some alcohol, this being added as soon as the oils are received. Oil of Bitter Almond is now obtainable de- prived of hydrocyanic acid, and owing to the excessively poisonous character of the latter, such an oil should be preferred for perfumery purposes. The artificial oil should not be substituted for the natural product. Oil of Neroli, or Orange Flowers, is of several varieties. The most highly esteemed and the one which should always be used for fine perfumes is what is known as Oil of Neroli Petale, distilled from the flowers of the sweet orange. The other varieties are Oil of Neroli Bigarade, obtained from the flowers of the bitter orange, and Oil of Petit Grain, which is produced by distilling the leaves and unripe fruit. Much confusion exists regarding Oil of Rose Geranium. Only the best French or Spanish oil should be used. In the case of Oil of Cloves, what is known as the Bourbon variety is most highly esteemed. In the case of Oil of Orange, the Oil of Bitter Orange peel is considered the best. Of the oils of Lavender, the English, or so-called “Mitch- am,” is the best. Oil of Orris occurs in two forms, concrete and liquid, but the latter only is to be em- ployed in the formulas given below. Oil of Sandalwood is largely adulterated, and only the best English or East Indian oil should be used. Volatile oils are frequently employed in the SECTION I OF PART V. Preparations used mainly or largely for their odor, including Handkerchief Extracts, Sachet Powders, Solid Perfumes, Pot Pourris, Fumigating Pastilles, Powders, etc.; Co- logne Waters, Toilet Waters, Bay Rum, Toilet Vinegars, and Smelling Salts. Perfumes. Perfumes, • as druggists employ the term embrace Handkerchief Extracts, Cologne and Toilet Waters, and Sachet Powders. Fine perfumes can be prepared only by the use of good material; in fact, the best obtainable is none too good for a discriminat- ing taste. In the following paragraphs will be outlined the requisites of the best mate- rials. One of the first requisites in the manufac- ture of fine perfumes is a first-class quality alcohol, free from fusel oil or other odor- ous contamination that would modify or destroy the delicate floral odors which are the main ingredients of fine perfumes. The best kind of alcohol is what is known as “de- odorized alcohol. ’ ’ (See process of manufac- ture in Part I.) Another grade of alcohol which is fairly good is what is sold as “co- logne spirit,” which is the “middle run” obtained in the manufacture of ordinary alcohol, and is fairly free from fusel oil. The difference between ordinary alcohol and purified alcohol can be determined very easily by rubbing a few drops between the hands and allowing the alcohol to evaporate 280 THE STANDARD FORMULARY. form of spirits, or dilutions with alcohol, in the manufacture of liquid perfumes. What is known as “pomades” are also of very great importance in the manufacture of perfumes. These are known by numbers which indicate the number of times purified lard has been impregnated with the flower odors by the method of enfleurage. These pomades include the following odors: Rose, orange flow;ers, jasmine, tube” rose, jonquil, cassie, reseda or mignonette, violet, lily of the valley, mimosa, and helio- trope. Before these pomades can be used they must be extracted by means of strong alcohol (to be described below); this alco- holic extract is known in this work by the title of “Essence.” Various animal substances are used in the manufacture of perfumes. These include musk, civet, and ambergris. Inasmuch as these are very expensive, they are subjected to the grossest adulterations, and the utmost care must be exercised to obtain the very purest of product. These animal substances are not altogether used for their own odor but for their peculiar property of “fixing” the fugitive flower odors and making them permanent. The best musk is the variety known as Tonquin in “grains.” This substance is employed usually in the form of a tincture or alcoholic extract. The extractive action of the alcohol is assisted by a small amount of alkaline water and placing the vessel contain- ing the mixture in a warm place for at least 30 days. Ambergris occurs in several varieties, the most esteemed of which is that kind known as the gray variety. Both it and civet are used in the form of alcoholic tinctures. To facilitate extraction, they are first triturated with about an equal amount of finely granu- lated orris root. Among various crude vegetables employed in perfumery are orris root, vanilla, tonka, benzoin, tolu, storax, and Peru balsam. The best orris root is the kind known as Floren- tine ; it is generally employed in the form of a concentrated alcoholic tincture. The other substances mentioned occur also in different grades or varieties, but only the very best should be selected for perfumery purposes. Like orris, all are generally employed in the form of alcoholic tinctures. Among the other substances employed in the manufacture of perfumes are various chemicals such as heliotropin, hyacinthin, terpineol (also known commercially as The following table is an interesting one as showing the relationship between the different odors: CLASSES.

In late years these chemicals really play a most important part in perfumery manufacture. Rose and orange flower waters are em- ployed in some perfumes. In making hand- kerchief extracts, only the best imported “triple” water should be used. Handkerchief Extracts. Handkerchief extracts, or “extracts,” as they are more commonly termed, are pro- duced by incorporating with alcohol one or more essences (see definition of term above), one or more spirits (alcoholic solutions of volatile oil) or possibly the oils themselves, and a tincture of some of the animal or resin- ous substances mentioned above. Occasion- ally other ingredients are added, such as one of the chemicals, which really take the place of the volatile oil or spirit. This mixture should be set aside for some time (several weeks at least) to allow it to “ripen” or blend, after which it may be filtered. If the ingredients of handkerchief extracts be classified according to their function, the classification would be as follows: (1) Odor- ous agents; (2) fixing agents, and (3) vehicle. The essential odorous agents are the es- sences, spirits or oils, and chemical sub- stances. The “fixing” agents consist of the musk, ambergris, civet, resins, orris, etc. The distinction between the first and second classes is not sharply drawn, for the reason that some of the “fixing” agents are used for their odor as well as for their “fixing” prop- erties. The third class practically embraces but one substance, viz., alcohol, although rose and orange flower water are sometimes added after the alcohol, and may therefore also be considered as vehicles. The office of “fixing” agents is chiefly to hold the perfume to, or fix, or fasten it upon, the handkerchief or other fabric to which it is applied, it being understood that the odoriferous matters are all very volatile and therefore evanescent when exposed to the atmosphere. The “fixing” agents also serve to hold or secure the delicate flower odors to the vehicle while the moisture is still present in the container as “extract.” The “fixing” agents are of three varieties: (1) Fatty matter derived from pomades during extraction with alcohol; (2) resin- ous substances, such as Peru balsam, tolu, storax, benzoin, orris, etc.,and even myrrh, asafetida, aloes, etc., may be employed; and (3) animal substances, which include musk, ambergris and civet. The objection to the first class is that they soon decompose and impart to the perfume a rancid odor, and consequently pains must be taken to exclude or remove all fat from the essence. The objection to the second class is but an aesthetic one and hence is less serious than in the preceding. The resins impart a high color to the perfume and when the latter is dropped on a white handkerchief the fabric at once presents a soiled appearance. This is one reason why benzoin is often replaced by benzoic acid obtained by sublimation of the resin. Orris does not have the objection of imparting a high color, but the amount of resinous matter is so small that a very con- centrated alcoholic tincture must be em- ployed. Of course, all resins are objection- able because of their own odor, which may perceptibly modify the other odors, and this is sufficient reason why different resins are selected for different perfumes. A suggestion may be thrown out here for using resins as ‘ ‘ fixing ’ ’ agents without ob- taining any great amount of color, and that is to heat rather strongly a resinous substance, or suitable mixture of resinous substances, in a test tube plugged with a large wad of cot- ton. The latter becomes impregnated with odorous substances naturally contained in the resins, also some volatile empyreumatic sub- stances formed by the destructive distillation, and will possess a certain amount of color. Upon placing in alcohol, these various prin- 282 THE STANDARD FORMULARY. ciples will be dissolved, and the alcoholic liquid may be used as before for “fixing” purposes. The third class of “fixing” agents is»re- markable in that but trifling amounts will serve the purpose, and hence they are the most largely employed. The one obj ection to their use is their pronounced and very per- sistent odor, which is likely to remain after the other odorous substances have dissi- pated. These substances include, as stated, musk, civet, and ambergris. In all perfumes, the appearance, next to the odor, plays the most important part. The rule is that they should be either colorless or, at the most, of a very pale tint, pale green, for example, being a popular tint for “ex- tracts.” This color should be of such a char- acter as to disappear on drying. Essence of cassle is sometimes added to “extracts” with a view of imparting this green tint. Some- times a very trifling amount of green aniline is employed for the same purpose; the latter is more objectionable owing to the fact that it is liable to produce stains, and also owing to the presence of a poisonous substance, arsenic, in almost all anilines. An accept- able green coloring agent for white rose ex- tract is a tincture of patchouly made in the proportion of 4 av. ounces of the leaves to 16 fluidounces of alcohol. The resins men- tioned as “fixing” agents also impart color, this being brown, but is objectionable, as stated above, owing to its staining properties. Care should be taken to preserve all per- fumes, but particularly the “extracts,” with proper care. They should never be to strong light; exposure to air is also preju- dicial and so is exposure to heat. Cold may precipitate or separate out some of the sub- stances present in solution in the alcoholic liquid, and hence extracts should be pre- served in locations of a moderate tempera- ture, and this temperature should also be tolerably uniform. It may therefore be stated that “extracts” should be preserved in rather small (about 8 ounce) glass-stoppered bottles, out of contact with strong light, and at a uniform, medium temperature. Some extracts named after flowers are pre- pared from essences or oils derived from the flowers, to which are added suitable diluents and fixing agents. A great many flower odors are, however, so weak that they cannot be captured, or, if successfully and economi- cally captured, cannot be properly “ fixed ” ; in such instances it is customary to blend other odors so as to imitate the natural prod- uct. Heliotrope is, for example, a mixture of vanilla and rose, slightly modified by means of bitter almond. The odors of lily of the valley and lilac are imitated in a simi- lar manner. Frequently the reputed imita- tions are but very poor imitations indeed. Other odors besides flower odors are imi- tated, such, for example, as that of new mown hay. Then, again, there are other “extracts” which are pleasing mixtures or combinations of odors, which have received arbitrary titles such as “Upper Ten,” “Marie Stuart,” etc., and frequently also are known as ‘ ‘ bouquets. ’ ’ A convenient and popular, though indefi- nite, classification of “extracts” is into ‘ ‘ delicate odors ’ ’ and ‘ ’ heavy odors, ’ ’ the former including such as violet, heliotrope, lilac, etc., the latter musk, jockey club, etc. A few remarks on how to sell perfumes will not be amiss at this juncture. A com- mon practice among pharmacists in showing these goods to prospective customers is to remove the stopper from the stock bottle, and allow the customer to smell directly from the latter. The vehicle alcohol being more volatile than the volatile oils which form the real perfume, obtrudes itself upon the olfac- tory nerves and crowds away, as it were, the more delicate odors. The proper method of showing the ‘ ‘ extracts ’ ’ and indicating the differences between them is to wet the stop- per by inverting the bottle, then to moisten a strip of blotting paper or a piece of rice (cigarette) paper, allowing the latter to become almost dry before handing to the patron. Another good suggestion is to have a small sample rack of perfumes containing a number of glass-stoppered half or one ounce bottles; this will enable the pharmacist to keep the stock bottles in a dark place to be opened only when an “ extract ” is to be dispensed. The sample rack may also be kept in a dark place when not in use. If the glass stoppers of PERFUMES. 283 the bottles of the rack are of the elongated kind, so as to reach to the bottom of the bottle, the tissue or rice paper may be dis- pensed with. In showing “ extracts,” the order in which they are shown is also a matter of conse- quence, especially when the prospective cus- tomer does not have any preferences. The finest, most delicate odors should always be shown first; if the heavy odors be presented first, the olfactory nerves will have become so impressed with the latter that the delicate odors which are shown subsequently will appear to be decidedly lacking in quality, and thus a sale may be lost. The sale of “ mixed odors,” that is, a mix- ture of two or more ‘ ‘ extracts, ’ ’ should be discouraged because each ‘ ‘ extract ” is a har- monized blending of odors, and mixing “ ex- tracts ” is liable to destroy this harmony. However, this matter may not be of such great consequence, because those that ask for “ mixed odors ” do not properly appreciate the value of a well-made ‘ ‘ extract. ’ ’ In preparing the “ extracts ” which follow, the subjoined essences, spirits and tinctures should be employed It is quite essential that the amateur manu- facturer of ‘ ‘ extracts ’ ’ carefully peruse the preceding pages to inform himself upon the varieties of materials used in perfumes, the method of preservation, etc. It may be stated that the “ extracts ” can be cheapened by the use of weaker pomades or inferior oils, or of a tincture of musk of one-half the strength given, by the substitu- tion of civet for the ambergris, except in the case of ambergris extract, by the addition of larger proportions of alcohol and of some water, etc. Essences. Essences (extracts, extraits and esprits, they are also termed) are prepared, as already stated, by extraction of the odorous sub- stances from pomades by means of alcohol, this process being known generally as “wash- ing.” The best method of washing is as follows: Sixteen av. ounces of the pomade are cut into small pieces and placed in a bottle of sufficient capacity, such as a fruit jar, in which is put 16 fluidounces of pure alcohol. Place the bottle, suitably stoppered, in a water bath, and apply heat sufficient to barely melt the pomade, shake well together, and repeat the shaking frequently until the fatty matter solidifies. In this way the pomade will be reduced to a finely divided or granular state, permeated thoroughly by the alcohol. Allow this to stand for a week—a month or even longer would be better—giving it an occasional shake, then drain off the liquid into another bottle; if this fall short of 16 fluid- ounces, repeat the operation with a sufficient quantity of alcohol to make up to this measure. By subsequent and similar treatment, a second and even a third quantity of essence may be made, which, although much weaker, will be found useful in the preparation of colognes and toilet waters. Some operators use the second essence for washing a new quantity of original pomade, thus making a stronger essence or enabling one to use a weaker pomade. The residual pomade may be utilized for making hair pomades or as a diluent for mercurial or other ointments, or for making fine soaps (by manufacturers). Essences prepared by the above method contain some fatty matter and will soon become rancid. This retained fatty matter can be separated by the application of cold, and in order that it may all be separated, the following process should be adopted in pref- erence to the preceding one: Into an ice cream freezer of a size commensurate with the quan- tity of essence to be prepared, pour the requisite quantity of alcohol, then heat the pomade cautiously upon a water bath until melted, pour this into the freezer, put on the cover, set the apparatus in motion and con- tinue the beating for 15 or 20 minutes, by which time probably all the odorous matter will have been extracted. Now surround the can with a freezing mixture, composed of ground rock salt and cracked ice, resume the beating until the liquid is thoroughly chilled and the fat has all adhered to the paddle and the sides of the can. Then open the freezer, pour off the liquid, and pass through a well-covered filter to separate the particles of fat still suspended in the liquid. THE STANDARD FORMULARY. Spirit of Almond.

As is well known sachet powders are mix- tures, in the form of moderately fine powder, which are to be inclosed in little sacks of cloth and placed with linen or wearing ap- parel, or stationery, etc. Sachets are pre- ferred by some to “extracts,” because there is no fear of using too much and thus making the user appear “loud” or vulgar. The ob- jection to sachet powders is the want of per- manency ; they are liable to lose their odor even if carefully preserved, and the purchaser may therefore receive a sachet powder which can not be compared, in strength or delicacy, with a good “extract.” For this reason sachet powders are frequently ‘ ‘ freshened ’ ’ by the addition of the corresponding “ ex- tract,” viz., violet sachet by violet extract, etc. Sachet powders are composed of two kinds of ingredients, viz., the “body” or vehicle, and the odorous agents. The first almost invariably contains orris root; this may be the only “body,” or it may be combined with rose petals, orange peel, or lavender flowers, or a mixture of several of these. The odorous agents are the same as those employed in making “extracts.” Re- marks made with reference to the production of the latter will in a large measure apply to the sachet powders. For example, the best ingredients are required to make good sachet powders, whereas indifferent ingredients can- not but produce poor products. All such substances as orris, orange peel, etc., must be perfectly fresh and odorous, and the oils, etc., must be of superior quality. In preparing sachet powders, the orris, rose petals, lavender flowers, and similar solid ingredients should be mixed and ground in a mill; the musk, civet, ambergris, vanilla, and tonka should be triturated to an intimate mixture with a portion of this powder; the solid resins or gum resins, like benzoin, should be contused in a mortar until reduced to moderately fine powder; all these ingredients should noy be mixed, placed in a large mortar, the oils, tinctures, and other liquids added, and the whole mixed intimately by trituration. When the quantity of volatile oil is very small, it may be advantageous first to dissolve in a small amount of alcohol. Sachet powders should be preserved in rather small, well-stoppered bottles in a loca- tion of moderate temperature and be pro- tected from light. Cassie or Acacia Sachet.

Pot Pourris. These are mixtures of odorous substances, in rather coarse condition, to be placed in open jars and intended for scenting rooms. The individual particles should be of about the size of a split pea, and such substances as orris, benzoin, etc., should be reduced to this size by appropriate means. In making good pot pourri mixtures, the best materials are required. Extra perfume, such as an “ extract,” may be added to these pot pourris if desired. I.

These are cone-shaped bodies produced by mixing red saunders or wood charcoal with potassium nitrate, odorous substances, and mucilage, and forming a mass. By the use of charcoal, black pastilles are obtained, while saunders produces the red variety. When heated, these pastilles emit a pleas- ant odor; they are employed for this odor and for preventing and removing disease germs or foul odors caused by disease. That they are of any use except to produce a pleasant odor is doubtful. The pastille mass may be formed into cones by means of a pastille machine, or by means of the hand similarly to the handmade sup- positories. I.

Fumigating Powder. (Fumigating Species.) Fumigating powder is of similar composi- tion to the pastilles and is employed for the same purposes. It is in the form of coarse powder, free from any fine powder as well as from large, coarse pieces, and is of variegated brilliant colors, which are often produced by the use of aniline colors dissolved in alcohol and different portions separately tinctured, or sawdust is thus colored and added to the aromatics.

The cologne waters resemble the handker- chief extracts, but are much weaker; in fact, they may be produced by diluting extracts to any desired extent with alcohol, adding dis- tilled water gradually with frequent agitation until the mixture becomes milky, and then fdtering. A white rose extract would thus make a White Rose Cologne; a violet extract, Violet Cologne, etc. Instead of diluting extracts, colognes may be prepared from second washings of pomades and adding suitable oils, tinctures, etc., as directed under “ Handkerchief Extracts.” They may also be prepared by mixing the ingredients specified in the formulas below. The oils, tinctures, essences, etc., should be mixed with the alcohol, and then the water should be added gradually with agitation. The mixture should then be set aside for sev- eral weeks until the mixture has blended and ‘ ripened,” when it may be filtered. As in the case of other odorous mixtures, superior ingredients will produce a good product, inferior ingredients a poor product. The essences, tinctures and spirits men- tioned in the formulas should be prepared according to the systems enumerated under “ Handkerchief Extracts. ’ Suitable names for cologne waters are Newport Cologne, Opera Cologne, German Cologne, Lafayette Cologne, Farina Cologne, Victoria Cologne, Superior Cologne, Imperial Cologne, Oriental Cologne, etc. Cologne waters should be preserved in well- stoppered bottles, away from strong light and heat.

Smelling- Salts. Under the name of “smelling salts,” “in- exhaustible salts,” “Preston salts,” and “pungent” there have been prepared moist granular preparations which are aromatized and give off a fragrant odor in connection with the pungent odor of ammonia. They consist of either coarsely powdered am- monium carbonate with or without the further addition of ammonia water, or of a coarsely powdered mixture, which slowly evolves the odor of ammonia, a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium carbonate or lime, the whole being aromatized by the addition of volatile oils, or pomade essences, or hand- kerchief extracts. These preparations are usually dispensed in small ornamental glass containers which can be securely closed when not in use. These are used by inhalation in the faint- ing spells or headaches of ladies. These preparations may be made stronger in ammonia strength by adding a fresh por- tion of ammonia water.

All that is necessary is to fill it up again with the aromatic ammonia. VII.

Violet salts may be prepared in a manner similar to the preceding, substituting for the lavender oil and alcohol a concen- trated tincture of orris root, in proper quan- tity, spirit of orris, or, if preferred, violet extract. It may be tinted green by the ad- dition of green aniline or tincture of grass. Other odors like heliotrope, etc., may be produced by substituting the corresponding spirit, oil, extract or other substance for the lavender or violet. IX.

Preparations sailing under this name are usually cold creams or other bland ointments suitably perfumed and sometimes tinted. Fat forms the basis and gives them their hygienic effect as it imparts fullness and softness to the skin. When applied, these preparations are to be rubbed into the skin abundantly, and the friction asssits the ab- sorbed fat in developing the muscles. Any of the cold creams may be dispensed under the name of “skin food” or the following may be used: Petrolatum, white av.oz. 14 Paraffin wax av.oz. 1 Lanolin av.oz. 4 Water fl.oz. 6 Oil of rose drops 5 Vanillin gr. 4 Alcohol .fl.dr. 2 Melt the wax, add the petrolatum and lanolin, pour into a warm mortar, and, with constant stirring, incorporate the water.

These preparations are mucilaginous in character, consisting of tragacanth or quince seed mucilage combined with water, alcohol, glycerin, borax, or boric acid, and sometimes other ingredients. Their purpose is for ap- plication to face, neck and hands to assist in healing cracks and all roughness of the skin. They are readily absorbed and dry quickly. The formulas do not specify coloring matter, but the preparations may be tinted any de- sired color; red, for example, by means of solution of carmine; violet by means of violet aniline, etc. Such preparations may be dispensed under the names “face cream,” “toilet cream,” “skin cream,” “cosmetic cream,” “glycerin cream,” “fragrant cream,” or similar titles. If containing menthol, the title “menthol cream” may be used; if containing camphor, “camphor cream”; if containing calendula, “calendula cream,” etc. Other titles which are used are “cream of roses, ’’cream of lilacs,” “calendula and glycerin lotion,” etc. I.
