All rights reserved. Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. Thb completion of the second revision of the National Formulary, marking an era of a full decade since the first revision was effected, has necessarily been delayed because of the belated appearance of the United States Pharmacopoeia VIII. Nevertheless, the Committee had the satisfaction of presenting the text for the present revision at the Atlantic City meeting of the Association, a consummation which is particularly gratifying when it is considered that much of the work of revision could not be finished until the revised edition of the Pharma- copoeia was available, and that the task of converting the Metric quantities given in the formulas into their alternative equivalents in the Apothecaries' system of weights and measures was both exacting and arduous. This particular feature, and the introduction of doses, are the two most conspicuous innovations that have been made, and it is believed that they will very materially add to the utiUty and, it is hoped, popularity of the "Formulary." Another innovation consists in the separation of the formulas for obsolete U. S. P. preparations from the main text of the Formulary and collecting them in an " Ap- pendix ' ' to it, including the formulas which have been dismissed from the Pharmacopoeia of igoo — the original text of these formulas being restored or maintained; but, as in the main text, the alternative values are also given in Apothecaries' terms, so as to render the work uniform throughout in this respect. In accordance with the expressed desire, an attempt was made to devise short synonyms or abbreviated titles for some of the lengthy ones now in use; but this virtually remained an attempt, having been found practicable only in a few instances. Short titles, however, have been given to the new formulas whenever this was feasible. The number of new formulas added to the ' ' Formulary ' ' is 49, while 15 formulas, having been admitted into the new Pharmacopoeia, have been dismissed. On the ground of inefficiency for the intended pur- (iii) Digitized by Microsoft® Iv PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. pose, two formulas also — Carbassus Carbolata and Carbassus lodofor- mata — have been dismissed, reducing the actual increase to 32 formulas, A further, though only apparent, reduction is occasioned by the relega- tion of thirty obsolete U. S. P. formulas, heretofore given in the gen- eral text, into the "Appendix," but here they appear, together with ■84 formulas dismissed from the U. S. P. VIII, and are consequently just as available for reference in the National Formulary as they have been heretofore, though no longer designated as " N. F." preparations. In accordance with the recommendations made after painstaking experiments by the Sub-Committee on Correction of Formulas, about seventy formulas have been corrected so as to eliminate certain imper- fections, usually of a trifling nature, and it is confidently believed that the formulas as now given in the Formulary are in unobjectionable shape.

(1888) It is well known that the remedies for which the Pharmacopceia prescribes definite standards, constitute only a limited portion of the resources of the medical profession in the treatment of the sick. Without referring to the more ephemeral preparations, or to such as are of a proprietary character, or are used by the public for self- medication, there is a large number of others, which are more or less frequently prescribed by physicians, or demanded by the public, but which are not recognized by the Pharmacopoeia, either because they were not deemed by the revisers to be of sufiBcient importance to be included in the oificial work, or because they originated subse- quently to the appearance of that work, or for other reasons. Owing to the absence of an authoritative standard, many of these unofficial preparations have been, and are being made, after different formulae, and in varying strength, so that the pharmacists, particularly in the larger cities, are compelled to procure and keep on hand a variety of brands of what is intended to be one and the same preparation, to satisfy the demands of their patrons, professional or otherwise. The evils arising from this condition of things are so well known and so far-reaching in their results, that there is no need of any. argument in favor of a plan which may palliate the existing evil, chiefly caused by a lack of uniformity, or the want of a common standard. In order to bring about a practical amelioration of this state of things, a local Committee representing the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York, the Kings County Pharmaceutical Society of Brooklyn, and the German Apothecaries' Society of the City of New York, several years ago published a book of formulae, compris- ing those which were in most frequent use in their immediate vicinity, and recommended the same to the medical profession. As this book appeared at a time which happened to be particularly favorable to the realization of the object sought to be attained, it gained so much ground, even outside of the locality for which it was originally in- tended, that the Joint Committee, authorized by the Societies which it represented, tendered the work to the American Pharmaceutical (V) Digitized by Microsoft® VI PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. Association, at the Annual Meeting held at Pittsburgh, in 1885, as a nucleus for the construction of a National Formulary. The Associa- tion having accepted the gift, a Committee was appointed to prepare such a work, and as a first result, this Committee presented at the next Annual Meeting, held at Providence, in 1886, a "Preliminary Draft of a National Formulary, ' ' comprising whatever the Committee had been able to gather, either from existing formularies, or from its own labors, or from the special contributions of individuals or so- cieties. This Draft showed, more forcibly than could have been done in any other manner, how serious the existing evil was, and at the same time, how difficult would be the task to bring into harmony the conflicting views and customs. For the purpose of enabling the Committee to accomplish this task with better expectation of suc- cess, it was enlarged by the addition of one member from every State Pharmaceutical Association in the United States and Canada. The Committee thus constituted has endeavored, to the best of its ability, to carry out the object for which it was appointed. While it was, of course, impossible for most of the members representing other States, personally to attend the weekly meetings of the Com- mittee, held in New York City, yet all important matters were re- ferred to them by circular, and their votes thereon solicited, so that the results, regarded as a whole, truly represent the intentions and decisions of the whole Committee, though individual members may not have agreed upon every detail. One of the most difficult problems which the Committee encoun- tered, was the selection of the preparations which should be admitted into the Formulary. In order to ascertain the wishes of the differ- ent sections of the country, a printed list of the proposed titles was sent to each member, and a vote or expression of opinion thereon asked for. After all the votes had been returned, it was evident that much would still be left to the discretion of the Editing Sub-Com- mittee, which had in the meantime been appointed. The latter, thereupon, prepared a final list of titles, which was again submitted to the members, and this list having been slightly amended in ac- cordance with the suggestions received, was made the basis of the final text, though in the course of editing some further changes, chiefly additions,, became necessary in order to fill in existing gaps. On looking over the contents of the book, every individual reader will probably encounter quite a number of preparations with which he is unfamiliar, or which he has never had occasion to use or to dispense, and the presence of which, from his standpoint, may appear superfluous. It should, however, be remembered that every section of this large country had to be considered; hence, what may be en- tirely unused or only rarely used in one section, may be of common Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. VIl occurrence in another. It is quite probable that some preparations which ought to have been received into the Formulary have been overlooked, or that some of those introduced are not as frequently employed as has been represented to the Comrnittee. Whatever error may have been committed in one direction or another, will no doubt be corrected in subsequent eclitions. While it was at no time contemplated by the Committee as a whole — though, perhaps, by some individual members — to devise imitations of any of the popular nostrums of the present day, yet it was very difiBcult to decide exactly where the line should be drawn. Consequently the list will be found to include a small number of formulae which may recall some of the before-mentioned prepara- tions, but which are constructed on rational principles, irrespective of mere external appearance and taste, and mainly with regard to uniform composition and reliable effect. It is not expected that these preparations will readily replace, in the eyes of the public, the much- advertised nostrums, but it is hoped that if proper therapeutic effects are expected from them, they will be used or directed to be used in place of the commercial articles, the composition of which is generally kept secret. A proposition was at one time made to include in the work definitions and descriptions of the more important crude drugs and chemicals which have come into use since the last U. S. Pharmacopoeia was issued. But it was found that the labor involved in the task already outlined was so great, that no time could be devoted to any further additions. Hence the project had to be abandoned, though it will be a comparatively easy matter to incor- porate these additions in a subsequent edition. In constructing the formulae of the compound preparations, it has been the endeavor of the Committee to make them as independent from each other as possible, so that only a comparatively small number of what may be called basic preparations need be kept in stock. The principal bases thus required are: No. 25. Elixir Adjuvans. As a vehicle, chiefly for saline prepa- rations. — No. 31. Aromatic Elixir. Intended to be used as a substi- tute for the officinal Elixir Aurantii, unless the latter or some other flavored Elixir should be preferred. — No. 42. Elixir of Cinchona. — No. 44. Detannated Elixir of Cinchona. — No. 54. Elixir of Yerba Santa. — No. 81. Elixir of Pepsin. — No. 105. Compound Elixir of Taraxacum. — No. 337. Aromatic Spirit. — No. 338. Compound Spirit of Orange. — No. 340. Spirit of Curacao. — No. 352. Syrup of Coffee. ■ — No. 360. Aromatic Syrup of Yerba Santa.— No. 394. Detannated Tincture of Cinchona. — If these are kept in stock in reasonable quantities, most of the compound preparations contained in the Formulary may be prepared in a short time. Digitized by Microsoft® Vfii PREFACE TO THE EIRST EDITION. Regarding the system of weights and measures used in the work, the probable action of the Committee had been foreshadowed in their last Report to the American Pharmaceutical Association, in which they expressed their conviction that all medicines that are prescribed by measure, had better be prepared by measure, or by weight and measure. The Committee is of the opinion that the working formulae, either in a Pharmacopoeia or in a Formulary, need not all be forced into one rigid, immutable, and uniform system of weights or of measures; but that a judicious and common-sense selection of one or another system, in different formulae of the same work, may be perfectly legitimate, so long as those used in one and the same formula are practically commensurate with each other — the object, in all cases, being to obtain uniform and definite products, the relative strength of which will be immediately understood with- out special calculations. While, therefore, the system of parts by weight has been unreservedly admitted in the case of such prepara- tions as are always, or at least preferably, . made by weight (for in- stance, No. 2, Acidum Carbolicum lodatum; No. lo, Boroglycerinum, etc., etc.), definite weights and measures have been used in the case of all those which are taken or administered by measure. In the choice of the terms expressing the different denominations of weights and measures, some variation will be noticed, which is, however, introduced designedly. For instance, in No. 197 (Lini- mentum Opii Compositum), the first item is ij^ fluidounces; the sec- ond, 120 grains; the third, 4 fluidounces; the fourth, 180 minims; the fifth, 6 fluidounces, etc. The term "180 minims" was preferred to " 3 fluidrachms, ' ' to break the monotony of the Jiuid terms, so as to diminish the risk of a mistake. And this method has been ap- plied also in many other cases. Regarding the nomenclature, the Committee has selected what appeared to them the most suitable and expressive titles. Probably many of the preparations in the work will never be ordered under their I^atin names, as for instance, ' ' Pulvis Hj'drargyri Chloridi Mitis et Jalapae" ("Calomel and Jalap"); yet it was deemed neces- sary to introduce such titles, 'in order to secure a homogeneous alpha- betical arrangement. In the selection of the particular process or working formula for each preparation, the Committee has proceeded with all the care that it was possible to bestow upon it. All suggestions, recommen- dations and criticisms were carefully and impartially considered, and, whenever possible, practically tested. It is not to be expected, however, that the Committee has always succeeded in making the best selection. Indeed, many of the formulae will, no doubt, here- after, require modification to make them more perfect, after a suf- Digitized by Microsoft® PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. ix ficient time has elapsed to fully test the merits of the different processes. It was not within the province of the Committee to meddle with matters of which the medical practitioner or the therapeutist is the proper and competent judge. In most cases, it was sufficient to take a formula, just as it was already in existence, and to adopt it either entirely without change, or to restrict the modifications to the unessential features without affecting its therapeutic value, and merely with a view to improve its form. There are, however, a number of preparations in which more radical changes appeared desirable. In these cases the Committee availed itself of the advice of competent medical authorities, either by personal interviews or by correspondence. The mission which this work is to fulfil can only be properly ac- complished by the co-operation of the medical profession. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance that the members of this pro- fession, throughout the country, be made acquainted with the exi.st- ence, contents and objects of this book, and that, if the same be approved by them, as is confidently expected, they will consent to accept the preparations made in accordance with the formulae con- tained therein, instead of designating any special maker's product. In the execution of its task, the National Committee has been fortunate enough to avail itself of valuable advice and assistance, both voluntary and solicited, from many members of the profession and other sources. At the request of the Committee, the three Societies who had issued the pamphlet above spoken of, continued the several committees formerly appointed by them, and this increase of the working nucleus of the National Committee has been of the utmost importance to a successful termination of its allotted task, since without this assistance, it would have been physically impossible for it to perform the large number of experiments, and to prepare the many hundreds of specimens, necessary to decide on the merits of the various proposed formulae. The gentlemen who have so generously assisted the Committee, and to whom special thanks are due, are: Messrs. Gustavus Balser, Julius Kalish, Edward L. Milhau, and Henry Schmid, from the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York; Messrs. Donald L. Cameron, Thomas D. McElhenie, J. P. Heyen, I,ouis E. Nicot,' and Charle's R. Paddock, of the Kings County Pharmaceutical Society; and Messrs. Theodore Louis, Charles E. P. Meumann, Gustavus Pfingsten, Gustavus Ramsperger, and Charles F. Schleussner, of the German Apothecaries' Society of the City of New York. Very valuable assistance has also been rendered to the Com- mittee by the following gentlemen: Prof. Joseph P.

The Committee, on behalf of the American Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, now turns over its work to the public, and expresses the hope that it will be accepted as a standard and guide, whenever possible. In order that it may be rendered more perfect and complete, it is re- spectfully urged that any defects, omissions, or errors, be carefully noted, and that a list of these, as well as suggestions and propositions for a future revision, be sent to the Secretary of the American Pharm- aceutical Association, or to any Formulary Committee that may here- after be appointed.

Emulsions. The successful formation of Emulsions, whether of fixed or volatile Oils, is most satisfactorily and expeditiously accomplished with Acacia as the emulsifying agent. Hence, preference is given Acacia in this Formulary, though other emulsifying agents are not ignored, and their use and application is exempUfied in a number of alternative formulas for preparing Emulsion of Cod-Iviver Oil. A. Emulsification. When Acacia is used as the emulsifying agent, it is important that the Oil, the Acacia, and the Water, shall primarily be in absolutely definite proportion to each other by weight. This pro- portion is eight (8) parts of Oil, tuv (2) parts of Acacia, and three (3) parts of Water. The Oil (8) and Acacia (2), in fine powder, are weighed into a mortar, and well mixed by trituration; the Water (3) is then added z« one portion, and the whole is triturated briskly until a thick, creamy emulsion is produced, the sides of the mortar being carefully scraped, and the mixture again triturated so as to insure the complete emulsification of all the Oil. During warm weather, the Water and Oil should be cooled. The other ingredients may then be gradually added; first the flavoring, then the greater part of the Water necessary to make the final quantity, then the Syrup, etc. Finally, the quantity is adjusted by the addition of sufficient Water. Alcoholic liquids should be added last, and should be previously mixed with a portion of the Water. If these simple conditions and directions are carefully observed, and particularly if the proportions by weight are accurate, a perfect Emul- sion is obtained with certainty and rapidity. With other emulsifying agents — Mucilage of Irish Moss, Mucilage of Dextrin, Glycerite of Yolk of Egg — the proportions need not be ad- justed with the same minuteness. It sufiices to place the emulsifier into . a bottle or mortar, and to add the oil in small portions at a time, shaking or triturating I briskly after each addition until emulsification is com- pleted. Obviously, the preparation of this class of emulsions is very much facilitated by mechanical contrivances that are capable of produc- ing brisk agitation and mingling of the two fluids, and such are neces- sarily resorted to, when emulsions are to be made in large quantities for the market. Bht none of them are as perfect as the emulsions made with Acacia. B. Flavoring. Since no single or compound aromatic can be devised which would be acceptable under all circumstances as a flavoring for Emulsion of Cod-Iyiver Oil, the selection of the most suitable aromatic must be left to the prescriber or dispenser.

In order to exemplify the application of the difierent emulsifying agents to the preparation of Emulsions, the following formulas and processes are here given as applied to Cod-I,iver Oil : 1. Acacia Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil. ^tric. Cod-Liver Oil 464 Gm. Acacia, in fine powder lloGm. SyrupOfTo]u(U. S-.P.) 100 Cc. Flavoring (see B, under Emulsa), to suit. Water, of each, a sufHcient quantity To make 1000 Cc. Apothecaries^. 15 troy ounces. 3| troy ounces. 3 fluidounces. 32 fluidounces. a. Triturate the Oil and Acacia together in a mortar. Carefully weigh out 174 Gm. (or 5^ troy ounces) of water, and add it ai once to the mixture of Oil and Acacia, triturating briskly until a thick creamy emulsion is produced. To this add the desired Flavoring, the Syrup, Digitized by Microsoft® NATIONAI, FORMULARY. and enough Watei^ to make looo Cc. (or 32 fluidounces) of finished Emulsion. Note.— The completion of perfect emulsification by this process is repognized by a peculiar crackling sound, accompanied by the rapid thickening of the in- gredients into a white, creamy liquid, which is readily diluted with water to a milky fluid, free from visible oil-globules. 2. Irish Moss Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil. Metric. Cod-Liver Oil 500 Cc. Mucilage of Irish Moss (N. F.) 325 Cc. SyrupofTolu(U. 8. P.) 100 Co. Flavoring (see B, under Emulsa), to suit.

(or 3 fluidounees), and shake so that the inner surface may be completely wetted by the Oil. Then add the Acacia, and shake again. Now add one-half of the Water, and shake until the Oil separates in form of a milky Emulsion. Add the re- mainder of the Water, and continue the shaking until the Oil separates from the Water in the form of a creamy Emulsion upon standing. This Emulsion must be shaken before dispensing. Average dose : 2 Cc. ( J^ fluidrachm). Note. — The formula for this strong Emulsion of Oil of Turpentine is essentially that proposed by Mr. J. Winchell Forbes, in 1872. While the Oil separates in the form of a cream-like layer upon standing, the two liquids are easily united by brief shaking. It keeps well, and is useful for dispensing small quantities of Oil of Turpentine in a fairly well emulsified condition. Digitized by Microsoft® NATIONAL FORMULARY. BMULSUM PETROLEI.

Dissolve the Sugar in the Milk, contained in a strong bottle, add the yeast, cork the bottle securely, and keep it at a temperature between 23° and 32° C. (73.4° to 89.6° F.), for six hours; then transfer it to a cold place. Note. — Compressed Yeast, 1.5 Gm. (or 24 grains), triturated with a littletmilk, may be used in place of the semi-liquid yeast. In place of preparing Kumyss with sweet milk, and waiting until it turns sour, the casein may be precipitated at once by the addition of one-third of ready Kumyss to fresh milk. Yeast is not neces- sary, but Sugar must be added to produce enough Carbonic Acid gas to cause effervescence. Kumyss may also be made from sour milk, freed from its crusts of cream, by breaking up the curd by vigorous stirring, and causing alcoholic fermentation by addition of Sugar and Yeast. The cream removed may be replaced by sweet cream. Kephir-Kumyss is prepared by adding active Kephir grains to fresh milk, kept at a temperature of 70° to 80° F., until the effect of fermentation becomes apparent iDy the rising of the grains to the surface. The grains may then be strained off, and the milk, which now contains enough Yeast-cells to insure continuance of ihe, fermentation, left to itself in well-corked bottles.

Powders, divided in the prescribed doses, may be dispensed en- wrapped in paper, enclosed in capsules, or formed into tablets, accord- ing to requirements and the direction of the prescriber, under the fol- lowing definitions : 1. Pulveres in Chariulis — Powders in Papers. — Powders or tritura- tions accurately divided in doses, by weighing, enwrapped in paper. If deliquescent or volatile, parchment or paraffin paper should be used and the powder dispensed in air-tight containers. 2. Pulveres in Capsulis Amylaceis — Powders in Starch Capsules, Ca- chets or Wafers. — Powders or Triturations accurately divided, by weighing, and enclosed in capsules (or cachets) prepared from starch paste, pressed into concentric forms and dried — the two forms compos- ing the capsule (or cachet) to be very carefully sealed or cemented ' together. 3. Pulveres in Capsulis Gelaiini — Powders in Gelatin Capsules. — ■ Powders or Triturations accurately divided, by weighing, and filled into hard capsules of gelatin. If desirable, these may be hermetically sealed by placing the caps on filter paper saturated with water, for a few moments, and then slipping the cap on the capsule in the usual way; then exposing the capsules a few minutes to the air so that they may become dry before dispensing them. 4. Pulveres in Tablettis ( Tabletlce Orales) — ^Tablet Triturates. — Tritur- ations of medicinal substances with Milk Sugar as diluent, made into a paste with Alcohol of greater or less strength, depending on the nature of the medicinal ingredient, and formed into disks, usually not exceed- ing o.i Gm. (i^ grains) in weight, by pressing the mass into molds of hard rubber or suitable metal and exposing the moist disks to the air so that the Alcohol may be completely volatihzed spontaneously. PULVERES EFFERVESCENTES. Effervescent Powders. The Effervescent Powders for which formulas are given in the For- mulary are most conveniently and efficiently dispensed in the form of fine powders, because in this condition they can be made extempo- raneously and with an assurance of their freshness and efficiency. The popular demand, however, seems to be for Granular Efiervescent Powders, the preparation 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. Digitized by Microsoft® 130 -NATIONAI, FORMUIvARY. General Observations and Directions. Effervescent Powders are composed of the medicinal agent in ad- mixture with an alkaline bicarbonate, an organic acid, and sugar. The proportion of the medicinal agent is dependent upon its dose; that of the alkaline bicarbonate and of the organic acid is dependent upon their molecular relation to each other; while the proportion of sugar is dependent upon the quantity necessary as a sweetening agent and diluent. The ingredients for making the fine pulverent 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 Powders 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 molecule of Tartaric Add is replaced by one-half a molecule of Crystallized Citric Acid. With the view to simplifying the formulas for Effervescent Powders, three new preparations have been embodied in this Formulary, viz. : Acidum Citricum Saccharatum. (p. 2). Acidum Tartaricum Saccharatum (p. 3). Sodii Bicarborias Saccharatus (p. 142). The proportion of Sugar in these new Saccharates is so adjusted that when either of the Acid Saccharates is mixed with an equal weight of the Alkaline Saccharate, the acid and alkali are in molecular relation to each other, and, when dissolved in Water, will form the Neutral Tartrate and Citrate of Sodium respectively. With these three Saccharates in stock it becomes possible to make Effervescent Powders quickly with any medicinal agent that may be prescribed, while they simplify the formulas for the Effervescent prepa- rations now in the Formulary, their use being exemplified by the fol- lowing General Formulas : General Formulas. Formula A. Pine Powder. Medicinal Agent, in fine powder 50 parts. Saeeharated Sodium Bicarbonate (N. F.) 475 parts. Saccharated Tartaric Acid (N. F.) 475 parts. Triturate the ingredients, previously weil-dried, until a uniformly mixed powder is obtained. Digitized by Microsoft® NATIONAI, FORMULARY. I3I ronnula B. Granular Po-wder. Medicinal Agent, in fine powder . 50 parts. Saccharated Sodium Bicarbonate (N. F.) 475 parts. Saccharated Tartaric Acid (N. F.) 237.5 parts. Sacciiarated Citric Acid (K. F.) 237.5 parts. Mix the ingredients in a mortar, transfer them to an evaporating dish, and heat upon a water-bath, kept at 6o°-7i" C. (i40°-i6o° F.), 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 ad- here together. If the somewhat pasty mass is then stirred with the spatula, small granules are readily formed, and these become firm when completely dried. Throughout this process the contact of the powder with metals should be carefully avoided. Effervescent Powders should be preserved in well-stoppered wide- mouthed vials. Note. — To make these Effervescent Compounds it is not necessary to have the Saccharated Alkali and Saccharated Acids in stock. The quantities of Sodium Bicarbonate, of Tartaric Acid, of Citric Acid, and of Sugar, required for each for- mula are readily ascertained by simple calculation, according to the following rule : Multiply the number of grammes of the Saccharate prescribed by the figures indicating the percentage of alkali or acid it contains, and divide the sum of this by one hundred. The quotient is the quantity of Alkali or Acid expressed in grammes, and by deducting this quantity from the total quantity of the Saccha- rate, the quantity of Sugar necessary is ascertained. Applying this rule, by way of example, to General Formula B., we have the following result : 1. 475 parts of Saccharated Sodium Bicarbonate, containing 75% require 356.25 parts of Sodium Bicarbonate and 118.75 parts of Sugar. 2. 237.5 parts of Saccharated Tartaric Acid, containing 67.5 %, require 160.3 parts of Tartaric Acid and 77.2 parts of Sugar. 3- 237.5 parts of Saccharated Citric Acid, containing 62.5 %, require 148.4 parts of Citric Acid and 89.1 parts of Sugar. And the formula would then be : Medicinal Agent 50 parts. Sodium Bicarbonate 356.25 parts. Tartaric Acid 160.3 parts. Citric Acid 148.4 parts. Sugar 285.05 parts. To make 1000 parts.

VIII (1900). If the drug is resinous, and partly or almost wholly soluble in the menstruum, or if the drug is so fibrous that it cannot well be powdered without undergoing injury, maceration should be re- sorted to. In the latter case, the drug, comminuted as much as pos- sible, should be kept in. contact with three-fourths the full quantity of the menstruum, in a moderately warm and shady place — the term " moderately warm " signifying a temperature of i5"-20° C. (59°-68° F.) — for two weeks, with occasional agitation ; the liquid portion is then removed by pressure, and the residual marc displaced with sufii- cient menstruum, either in a funnel containing a cotton filter, or by remaceration and expression, until the full quantity (looo Cc. or 32 Digitized by Microsoft® 172 NATIONAL FORMULARY. fluidounces) of Tincture is obtained; but in the case of re-maceration, this should be done with several portions of the menstruum. Alternative Method. — The process of preparing Tinctures by percola- tion having been devised with the primary object of securing with celerity and economy products of practically uniform and reliable com- position, and having replaced the older, and, in other respects, equally eflScient, process of maceration, the latter may be resorted to in any case, if economy or time are no object, or if for other reasons it is desirable to resort to maceration, provided this " alternative method " is carried out as follows : Reduce the drug or drugs to the finest practicable division, and, hav- ing weighed out the specified quantity, place it into a stoppered bottle, and add the specified menstruum in quantity equal to the total volume of Tincture to be made. Then macerate for at least two weeks, in a moderately warm and shady place. When required for use, decant the clear liquid and filter it through paper; express the residual marc, and, having filtered the expressed liquid through the same filter, mix the clear filtrates.

ITNGUENTA EXTENSA. (Steatina — Steatins. ) "Salve MuUs." Salve Mulls, introduced in dermatologic practice by Dr. Unna, are ointments of high fusing points, containing the desired medicinal agent, and spread on gauze or "mull," in a manner similar to the ordinary spread plasters. Although these salve mulls are more conveniently produced with the aid of special mechanical appliances, it is quite prac- ticable to prepare them on a limited scale as follows : A sheet of moistened parchment paper is spread smoothly on a table- top, the excess of moisture wiped off with a cloth, and a corresponding piece of unsized gauze is evenly stretched upon the parchment paper and held in place with thumb-tacks. The previously melted and partly cooled ointment is then spread evenly on the gauze by means of a broad, flat bristle-brush, and when a sufficient layer has been applied in this way, the surface is smoothed by the aid of two elastic spatulas, heated by immersion in hot water, wiped dry, and used alternately to expedite this operation. A smooth surface having been attained, the thumb- tacks are removed, and the salve- mull is withdrawn from the parch- ment paper, this operation being facilitated by wrapping the uncoated end of the gauze over a flat stick of wood. The salve mull is then suspended on a string in a cool room, and when thoroughly chilled, it is covered with parafiin paper and rolled up. The most suitable base for preparing the salve mulls is a mixture of Suet and Lard, in variable proportions, with the occasional addition of Wax or Lead Plaster — this depending on the nature of the medicinal component, or the intended use. The following formulas may serve as examples : 1. Unguentum Zlncl Extensum, 10 per cent.— Zinc Salve Mull (10%)- Zinc Oxide 10 parts. Benzoinated Suet 70 parts. Benzoinated Lard 20 parts.

FORMULAS FOR PREPARATIONS DISMISSED FROM THE UNITED STATES PHARMACOPOEIA IN 1890 AND 1900. At each decennial revision of the U. S. P. a number of articles are dismissed, usually on the ground of insufficient importance or infre- quency of use; but this dismissal does not by any means exclude them from occasional demand. In the case of preparations, this dismissal carries with it the formula, as a matter of course, and there is conse- ^quent danger that such formulas will in time be lost or, at all events, become unavailable when a legitimate demand comes for them. A number of such " obsolete " formulas from the U. S. P. 1870, and pre- vious editions, for which a certain demand still existed in certain local- ities, were therefore included in the original edition of the N. F. (1888), but without reference to the source, and these are also included in the present revised edition without such reference. In the revised edition of the N. F. (1897) it was deemed desirable to include the formulas dismissed in the revision of 1890; but the formulas so included, although also carried in the text of the Formulary in the regular alphabetical order, were credited in each case to the pharmacopoeial source. With the appearance of the U. S. P. VIII (1900), it has become necessary to include a further and not inconsiderable number of formulas for prepa- rations, which, like those dismissed at previous revisions, should be preserved for possible use and reference. These, with the ' ' obsolete ' ' formulas from the U. S. P. 1880, are now presented in the following pages without modification, except in so far that, in conformity with the main text of the Formulary, the quantities are also given in the Alternative Apothecaries' System of Weights and Measures.
