This so called Carbolic Acid No. 1, is really Coal-tar Creasote, or a mixture of the three or more homologous phenols of coal-tar, in varying proportions. It contains from 92 to 96 per cent, of these phenols,the remainder being the more volatile tar oils which are harmle-s. Cresol, or the so called Cresylic Acid, is generally in largest proportion, and Phenol, or the Crystalized Carbolic Acid, in next largest proportion. TM< iiixi! ■ i- b.-Mer than the. orjXafized carbolic acid for .ill known uses, whether Internal or external, and may therefore take the place of the more costly substance with advantage. It is colorless when recently made, but changes, chiefly by the effect of light, through various tints of brownish red to nearly black, without becoming thick or tarry, and wilh( ut material change in value or effect. All the useful portions of it are soluble in about twenty-five times its volume of water by active shaking together. The insoluble residue is impurity (tar oils). 2. This impure Carbolic Acid No.or Coal-tar Creasote with a larger proportion ot tar oils, and less carefully distilled, is not proper for medicinal uses, but is quite good enough fqr profuse use as a disinfectant, to make the disinfectant solutions,—and the solutions for removing the green mould which grows upon stone and brick work in damp and shaded places. It is also quite good enough for moistening the sand or saw- dust used in the spittoons and chamber vessels, or which is daily swept over the floors of Hospitals, Almshouses, Jails, etc. This variety is always of a dark color, and more tarry in consistence and odor, and contains 20 to 30 per cent of oils insoluble in water. It is put up to order in larger bottles, in carboys, or in barrels, 3. Tins solution of Creasote or of Impure Carbolic Acid, contains from 1 to 2 per cent ot the mixed phenols and is put up in quart packing bottles for profuse popular use. Each bottle bears a label with directions for some of its common uses as a disin- fectant, and for its use in burns and scalds. It has been largely used by Boards of Health, and will be found cheap and serviceable. Although often clear and colorless when put up it soon becomes of a reddish tinge, and losing its transparency, deposits a scanty reddish sediment. Its value is however not impaired by these changes, and when Altered it is much nicer than before the deposit occurred. It may be easily made from the Carbolic Acid No. 1, or Coal-tar Creasote by shaking this well with water in the proportion of 2}.( parts to the 100 of water, and filtering the solution through a double wet filter. 4. This Concentrated Solution of Phosphoric Acid is found to be more convenient for many purposes than the officinal diluted acid. It is just five times the strength of the officinal acid, and is therefore to be given in one-fifth the quantity. To make the offi- cinal acid from this, one pound is diluted with four pounds of distilled water. 5. Nitrite of Amyl seems to have outlived the period of fashionable novelty, and to have proved really serviceable in a small class of cases, such as some forms of asthma, angina pectoris, syncope, etc. It is best administered by inhalation simply from a bot- tle, or from five to ten drops from a piece of lint or handkerchief. It almost instantly increases the action of the heart, and flushes the face by relaxing the coats of the arte- rioles, and in this way almost instantly relieves such attacks as spasmodic asthma etc. For transportation it is secured with corks. When received, the cork should be at once taken out, and the glass stopper be put in its place. 6. This Stronger Ether is especially prepared for use as an anaesthetic, with much care and pains ; and the extreme volatility which particularly adapts it to the production of anaesthesia, makes it very difficult to secure for transportation, and very inflammable. Glass stoppers cannot he ground in quantity at any reasonable cost, which will secure it against loss by evaporation. Corks secure it best while standing at rest or during its application, but by the agitation of transportation, or by long standing, they become so shrunken and condensed as to admit a considerable loss at best, while the bottle some- times reaches its destination apparently well secured, but entirely empty. Hence when ordered in bottles, either glass stoppered or corked, it must be entirely at the risk of the buyer, both for leakage and breakage. A much better way of putting up—and by far the best that has yet been devised—is in tin cans with a stud or cap of thick tin foil soldered over the month. The small disk of tin foil is easily cut out with a pen- knife when the ether is wanted for use, and a vial cork then secures it perfectly until it is all used. Each can bears a label with directions for opening and securing it. The quarter and half-pound cans are intended specially for physicians’ use, and to save the loss and risk in dispensing. Each can contains enough for one or more administra- tions according to the skill with which it is used, and they will be found light, con- venient and as safe as such inflammable liquids can be. All the express companies, and many transportation lines refuse to carry parcels marked as containing other, and this soldering up in tin is the only way in which it should ever ne transported without, being marked. It will never be sent in bottles except by special order, and when specially ordered in bottles, and the line by which it is ordered to be sent will not re- ceive it when marked “ Ether,” it will be sent in tins. 7. This Compound Extract of Cinchona is an efficient and valuable tonic, useful in those cases in which the fluid preparations of the Cinchonas are not well borne on account of their bitterness. For detailed formula and therapeutic applications sec Amer. Jour, of Pharmacy for Nov. 1867, page 514. 8. This Extract of Ergot is almost entirely soluble in cold water, and it represents good Rye Ergot in the proportion of one grain of extract for five grains of Ergot. Sixty grains of the Extract dissolved in two hundred and fifty minims of water,—the solu- tion filtered, and maddvtp to three hundred minims by passing water through the filter to wash it and the residue upon it,—makes a solution which represents Ergot in the proportion of minim for grain, and is of the same strength as the Fluid Extract of Ergot, but is free from Alcohol or other irritant substance. This solution is as well adapted to the hypodermic use of Ergot as any that can-be made, and is more trust- woithy than the solutions of the so-called “ Ergotin.” The medicinal applications of Ergot have been much extended of late years through the researches of Brown-Sequard, Langenbcck, Hildebrandt and others, and it is now administered to a new class of cases in much larger quantities and often for weeks and months together. While no preparation can better represent the drug than a well made fluid extract, yet by prolonged use this becomes very nauseous,—and sometimes so nauseous that it is desirable to have a solid extract which can be given in pill. Then, to relieve the stomach entirely for a time at least, it also becomes desirable to use the remedy hypodermically—or topically by a pledget applied to the os uteri in the treatment of fibroid tumors. To accommodate the remedy to these various circum- stances, this solid extract, sometimes called the Aqueous Extract of Ergot, is offered. Whether this solid extract will keep well for more than a lew monthsrannot yet he determined, and it should, therefore, bo bought in small quantities. For mode of pre- paration see Proceedings of Amer. Pharm. Asso. for 1874. 9. Powdered Extracts of Jalap and of Nux Vomica, with all the cure tim: .-an be taken in their preparation, are liable to run together and become more or le.-s solid in the bottles, and they are gold here subject to this change. It is usually only necessary to rub the lumps up in a mortar, as the extracts are wanted, to get them again into a coarse powder adapted to combination. 10. This Alcoholic Extract of Jalap is a better, more uniform and more economical preparation than the present officinal extract, and is, in great measure, independent of the quality of the Jalap from which il is made, a. only takes the resinous portion whether that be more or le- , whilst this w‘sii...U' portion alone has any medicinal effect. This extinct is just three times ;i. sty hof the - is but double that of the officinal extract. I 11. These Fluid Extracts are not strictly officinal, because they are rot made in accordance with the officinal processes. The object of the processes el arma- copoeia is to obtain preparations which represent the drugs from whh-l - mule in the proportion ol minim for grain. Recent iiivcsU-g-iiions in pl-.arna. y ..gear to show that these processes of the Pharmacopoeia do not accompli-h he ."best or most economical way, and therefore a departure from them m.i > ju-i And it is how believed that the pr< pa rations here offered are more in accordance with the object of the Pharmacopoeia—that is, better represent ihe drugs in pi-ms n inim for grain—than any that can bo made by the officinal'processes. The m. 1 f re- percolation by which they are made, is published in the Prove,-lb,-.- of f! dean Pharmaceutical Association for several successive years. By this process, and also perhaps by other processes, it is now no Ion.:. ■ exult to make fluid extracts which fairly represent any drug in the. -prop, rtk - ■dm for grain, entirely without the use of heat. But to obtain good drugs even ; - i.rices, from which to prepare the fluid extracts becomes more and more difficult while the quality of the drug used is always hidden in the extract or fluid ■xrra'-r. 12. The Bark of Rhamnus frangula or Buckthorn lias lorn lx et, us«. a: '.uglily es- teemed by many, as a valuable mild cathartic cr aperient well adapted to some cases of habitual constipation. It has been generally used in decoction, and those who know it well by experience have hitherto not been satisfied with other modes of ■ ; t ion. It may, however, be very -conveniently used by chewing .-mail , >ark three or four times a day; and now for the first time, a fluid extract of i- here off- ered, which it is nelieved may prove a very useful preparation. I’ho ' .. coarsely powdered, is offered in the list of Powders, for making the decs cti . : to whom the fluid extract may not be acceptable. 13. The veiy serviceable Compound Tincture of Cardamon is considered by many to be too dilute and bulky for convenient admixture with fluid extrucis, etc,, as a corri- gent; and too largely composed of alcohol for use as a caiminativc. or as a - . ro < hie in those forms of dyspepsia in which it is appropriately used. T ■ fluid '; , t icre offered is intended to remedy these supposed defects. It is mad. from ilea officinal aromatics in the officinal proportions, but the cochineal is omitted as worse rl.au use- less. The. honey is also omitted. It represents Ihe compound powder of the aromatics in the proportion of about a minim for each gialu, and is ibout to-m a. e . mes stronger than the officinal Tincture. 14. This Compound Fluid Extract of Yellow Cinchona, or Culisaya 1 ark, is male from good Calteaya Bark and the officinal Aromatic Powder. Each mo im n presents about one grain of good Calisaya Bark, and one-fourth of a grain of Aron.nix: Powder. The dose, as a tonic, is about 10 to 13 minims, and it is best given in a little wine just before meals (see Amer. Journ. of Pharm. for 1867, p. 523 et seq.) 15. This Compound Fluid Extract of Bed Cinchona contains the same ingredients in the same relative proportion as the officinal Compound Tincture of Cinchona, or Huxham's Tincture, of the U. S. P. of IB6o,—namely, Red Cinchona Bark, Hitter Orange Peel, Serpen taria and Saffron ; audit is just ten times the siivtigih of the Compound Tincture. The formula for it will be found in the Amer. Jottrn. of Pharm. for 1861, p. 518, only that the strength is just doubled. 16. This Compound Fluid Extract of Gentian is simply a concentrated form of the officinal Compound Tincture of Gentian, being made'from the same ingredients in the same proportion and with the same menstruum ; audit is offered for r. is. .ns similar to those given in regard to the Compound Fluid Extract of Cardamon. This Com- pound Fluid Extract of Gentian represents, the officinal ingredu nt in the pn of about a minim for each grain of the compound powder, and is rattier more than nine times the strength of the officinal Compound Tincture of Gent ian. 17. The general drift of experience seems to show that the Southern Pri -fly Ash— Xanthoxylum Carolinianum—is preferable, for similar uses, to the officinal Prickly Ash—Xanthoxylum fraxineum, -and therefore fluid extracts of both are here offered. 18. This Compound Fluid Extract of Senna is merely a mixture of the senna with efficient corrigents in a proportion large enough to correct the griping tendency of the senna. The compound powder consists of seventeen parts of good Alexandria Senna, two parts Fennel, and one part Ginger; and the fluid extract represents hi:- com- pound powder in proportion of about a minim for each grain. 19. This Fluid Extract or Spigelia and Senna is intended to represent the officinal fluid extract of the same name, of the U. S. P. of 1860, but is made from the dry fruit of Anise and Caraway instead of the Oils, and contains but one-eighth of the propor- tion of Carbonate of Potassa, and contains no sugar. It represents the compound powder of Spigelia and Senna in the proportion of about a minim for each grain, and the aromatics in addition to this strength. 20. Olcates. In the London Lancet for May 25,1872, p. 709, Mr, John Marshall, F. R. 8., Professor df Surgery in University College, London, published a pap< r on the treatment of persistent inflammations by the local application of solutions of Oxide ol Mercury and of Morphia, in Oleic Acid. Good abstracts of this paper may be found in the last edition (the third American) of Ringer’s Handbook ol Therapeutics, p. 198, and in Braiihwaite’s Retrospect for January, 1873, p. 102. The high standi:,g of ;hc author of this paper gives much weight to his statements, and upon a limited trial of bis treatment, some surgeons in this country derived benefit in some cases. If the plan be found to be generally applicable and effective, it will be necessary to use it with much care, m order to avoid hurtful mercurialization. The facility and rapidity with which these oleates are absorbed from healthy skin is something quite new in ther- Notes Continued. apoutics and .-deserving of research, lor it seems to initiate a method which may be called Dermic Medication, which, if capable of being successfully extended, will be an important addition to the applications of the materia medica. The Olaate of Mercury here offered contains about six per cent of the Yellow Oxide of Mercury, and is prob- ably strong enough for any ordinary use. An Oleate of Mercury containing ten per Oxide is also supplied upon special order. It is of the consistence of a thin jelly, when cold, hut quite fluid when warmed. The Oleate of Mercury and Morphia contains about six per cent of the Yellow Oxide of Mercury, and two per cent of Mor- phia. The Oleate of Morphia contains about five per cent of Morphia. .In addition to these preparations proposed by Mr. Marshall, OleateS of Atropia, Aconitia and Quinta are offered, and other Oleates are in course of investigation and preparation. All these Oleate - have the strength and composition stated on the label. Oleic Acid and Yellow Oxide of Mercury are also offered for the use of those who prefer to prepare the Oleates for themselves. 21 Tide Oleoresin of Male Fern is made from carefully selected peeled root, and is perhaps ag Lrood a preparation of the drug as can he made. Each minim or grain of the Ole .resin represents about eight grains of the peeled root, aud it is therefore just eight time.' stronger than the drug. If one part lie made up to eight parts by the ad- dition of stronger alcohol it will represent a well-made fluid extract, but will be found more com enient for general use in the form of Oleoresin. In using it should be well i, shaken up i ef ire weighing out. 22. Compound Solution of Opium. For formulas and working processes for this preparation, see ■' Amcr. Jonrn.

This manufacturer neither makes nor deals in sugar-coated pills, nor in pills covered or coat-id with any other substance, and the pills of this list are introduced to supply the demands of those who desire to have them without covering. The aim of physicians is that the pills they give should dissolve promptly in the upper part of the a'-iiii ntavy - nal. and au.att -nipt is made to secure this result in the pills of this list by avoi .ling an coating aud by the introduction into the various pill masses of a sufficient proportion of glycerin to keep the pills soft. 2-1 Podophyllum Pills, or May-apple Pills This pill appears now to have been sufVu ienii; li Ato > a mint- its introduction here.

When drugs are powdered or ground, it is always difficult and often imp; , dlde to judge of their quality, or to judge of the knowledge ami skill given to the important process oi' powdering. A had drug by means' of a little mixing and manipulation, may be made to yield a very handsome powder, while a good drug, by unskillful healing find powdering, may have its medicinal virtues injured or even destroyed. Few processes are more important to the materia medica than that oi drug powdering, and as a genera! rule none are in less competent bands. Physicians and Pharmacists are never so safe as when.they powder their drugs lor and the labor and difficulty of doing this is very much overrated. To supply those who will not adopt this plan, a list of the more important powders is offered here with the assur- ance that the onigs are selected with care and attention,—the powdering done by good apparatus and with skill,—an i the putting up in glass or tin, while the powders are dry ami fresh, i- in due r< sped for the character ol important medicines, and the cir- cumstance that they must often be long kept.
