This volume contains practical and tried working for- mulse for over seven hundred unofficial but popular prepa- rations, among which are the various elixirs, fluidextracts, mixtures, syrups, tinctures, ointments, wines, etc., in de- mand all over the country, so far as known to the writer. It is hoped that the " Unofficial Pharmacopoeia " will prove a useful supplement to the Pharmacopoeia of the United States, as I have aimed to make it as complete as prac- ticable. The formiilcB can, with a minimum of labor, be used with any system of weights and measures, as all the numbers opposite the several ingredients refer to but one unit, or to the Gram for solids and the corresponding Fluigram for liquids. Either ounces, drachms, or any other unit, may be substituted for Grams. As a rule, the final product of each formula is either looo or IOC units, so that the proportions per cent, are seen at a glance. The virtual adoption of the Metric System in the forth- coming Pharmacopoeia of the United States will account for the preference given to that system in this volume, which, however, does not prevent the ready use of the book with apothecaries' weights and measures. An extended account of the Metric System, such as the author hopes will greatly aid in its popularization, has been given in Part I, accompanied by full tables of equivalents. Vlll PREFACE. The sources from which the formulae have been gathered are believed to be the best. They include the Pharmacopoeias of England, Germany, France and Sweden, and the formulae were selected with reference to their popularity, usefulness, and interesting character. Several are from Reports of the American Pharmaceutical Association (especially the Re- port on the Revision of the Pharmacopoeia, edited by Charles Rice, of New York), and others are original. The metric prescriptions in Part III are selected from the pharmacopoeias and formularies of the great hospitals of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and London, or con- tributed from the practice of Medical Officers of the United States Marine Hospital Service. Most of them are in fact extensively employed in hospital and out-patient practice. In this work, where they are introduced simply as illustrations of metric prescription-writing, they have been slightly altered in converting them into metric terms, and adjusted to a final product of one hundred units. The Dose Table in Part IV probably includes nearly all of the remedies that have a place in the current materia medica, » As for the Latin nomenclature used, it is in accordance with the views expressed in a paper read before the Ameri- can Pharmaceutical Association, at Saratoga, N. Y., in Sep- tember last. In it the possessive case is ignored and the names of chemicals are simply latinizations of the most correct English chemical nomenclature. Those who look for receipts for adulterated liquors, quack nostrums, etc., in this volume will be disappointed. O. O. Washington, D. C, February, 1881. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

To the Honorable John Sherman, our Secretary of the Treasury, whose practical and clear mind we have to thank for so many other substantial and lasting benefits, belongs the honor of being the first representative of our govern- ment who has officially authorized and directed the exclu- sive use of the metric system of weights and measures in any branch of the public service. Professor C. Lewis Diehl, in his annual '^Report (to the American* Pharmaceutical Association) on the Progress of Pharmacy," for 1879, says in reference to it : " The action of the Treasury Depart- ment in this connection must be regarded as the first prac- tical step to the adoption of the metric system of measure- ments for all purposes whatever throughout the land." The Hon. J. K. Upton also — at the time Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department, and now Assistant Secretary of the Treasury — made an able and elaborate report upon the subject of the proposed introduction in this country of the metric system, in which he took strong ground in favor of its adoption for use at some fixed early date. The conclud- ing paragraphs of his report are as follows : '' It should be borne in mind that the only legalized sys- tem of weights and measures in this country to-day is the metric system, and that this system is the only one we possess in narmony with that of any other country. 1 6 THE METRIC SYSTEM. ''As to the time necessary for the government and the people to prepare for its obligatory use, there may be some diversity of opinion. Considering the experiences of other nations and the admitted aptness of our people for adopting and utilizing improved methods of business, I am clearly of the opinion that a notice of two years will be sufficient to enable the government to prepare for the adoption of the system in all administrative transactions, and that a notice often or fifteen years will be sufficient to enable the country to prepare for its obligatory use in transactions between individuals. Possibly, for a while thereafter, a compromise with vulgar fractions and existing terms may be necessary, but meanwhile the new system will be taught in our schools, explained in the public press, and exemplified by our expe- rience, and in a comparatively brief time the use and terms of the old system will disappear as have those of English money before the advance of our decimal coinage." It is undeniable, that since the promulgation, with Sec- retary Sherman's approval, of the order of April 27th, 1878, issued by the late Surgeon-General John M. Woodworth, of the Marine Hospital Service, making the use of the metric system compulsory in that service for all medical and pharmacal purposes, the introduction of this system has made much more rapid strides than ever before among the medical profession, whether this progress be due to that order or not. The indorsement of the metric system by the American Medical Association, and by a large number of State Medi- cal Associations and County Medical Societies, and espe- cially in the forthcoming new Pharmacopoeia of the United States, as directed by the Sixth Decennial Pharmacopoeial Convention, have placed the ultimate and complete adop- tion of that system by the physicians and pharmacists of HOW TO LEARN. 1/ this country beyond peradventure, though much yet re- mains to be done to learn the new and forget the old. How TO Learn. To drop the old system of weights and measures entirely, and start out anew with the metric system, after learning the doses of medicines over again in metric terms, I con- ceive to be more convenient than safe. During the period of transition from the old to the new system it is necessary to constantly make comparisons between the two, and to convert values as expressed in terms of the one system into their equivalent expressions according to the other. To be on the safe side we will do well to verify the metric doses with which we are making ourselves familiar, by compari- son with the doses expressed in the old system about which we have no doubt. Besides, the most thorough way to learn the metric system and its practical application in prescription-writing is to learn the equivalents of the units of either system in the units of the other, by heart ; to ap- ply Qonvenient rules of conversion, verifying the results by reliable tables ; to use a posological table in which the doses are given in terms of both systems, thus enabling the physician to verify the metric dose by direct comparison with that in apothecaries' weights and measures after cor- recting or modifying the latter dose by the light of his ex- perience and the requirements of the case in hand j and finally to examine already prepared metric prescriptions, such as afford abundant illustrations of familiar practice. Among those given in this volume will be recognized many time-honored formulae, such as '^Stokes's Expectorant," *' Scudamore's Gout Mixture," etc. Any physician into whose hands this formulary may come will of course scru- tinize each formula which he may wish to use. The special 1 8 THE METRIC SYSTEM therapeutic application to which each prescription may be put is, for obvious reasons, not given. Much of the matter which follows will be recognized as substantially the same as prepared by me to accompany the order of April 27th, 1878, above referred to. It is, how- ever, much enlarged and, I think, improved upon. Tables giving exact equivalents, computations of prices, relations of weight to volume, and volume to weight, etc., are added. Believing that as liquid medicines are necessarily ad- ministered in doses by measure, they should also be pre- pared and prescribed by measure, I have retained volu- metric methods in the statement of formulae. The suppo- ; sition that the sacrifice of our convenient medicinal fluid ■ measures necessarily follows the adoption of the metric system is erroneous. There can be no doubt that the adop- tion of the term '' Fluigram " for the citbic-centimeter^ to make plain the analogy between that and the gj-afu, as sug- gested by Mr. Alfred B. Taylor, of Philadelphia, would greatly aid the introduction and usefulness of the metric system, and it is used throughout this formulary with the earnest hope that the innovation will be kindly received. (See New York Medical Record, August 14th, 1880.) Pharmacists, it is taken for granted, will provide them- selves with an outfit of metric weights and measures, when the new Pharmacopoeia shall have been issued, if they have not already purchased them. There is no longer any ex- cuse for the absence of metric weights and measures in any pharmaceutical establishment. The possession and use of them is moreover the easiest as well as the most thorough method of becoming practically familiar with the system. I have used the weights made by Henry Troemner, of HOW TO LEARN. 19 Philadelphia, and find them quite reliable and moderate in cost. From his illustrated price list I copy the following : Fig. 20. Fig. 23. Fig. 24. Fig, 25. The weights include the sizes from 20 grams to i cent, except the sets represented by Fig. 25, which contain weights from i kilo, or 500, 200, or 100 grams, down to i gram. These weights can probably be procured from any wholesale drug-house in the United States. They are well finished, put up in convenient and neat mahogany cases, and are sold at prices ranging from one dollar upward. Metric glass measures graduated to deliver actual cubtc- centimeters (998.9 gram for every liter, which is the correct relation between the units of weight and fluidmeasure at 16.66° C, or 62° F.) are made by Whitall, Tatum & Co., of Philadelphia, and those I have seen or used have been found accurate. For general use the flasks, measures, and pipettes repre- 20 THE METRIC SYSTEM. sented by the following cuts, taken from their illustrated catalogue, are probably the most useful : In accordance with the decision of the Committee of Revision and Publication of the Pharmacopoeia of the United States, the strength of the fluid extracts will in the Pharmacopoeia of 1880 be determined volumetrically, as at present, and the use of metrically graduated receiving bot- tles will therefore be necessary. Metric prescription vials (valuable as object lessons) can be had of H. C. Fox & Sons, and Whitall, Tatum & Co., both of Philadelphia. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 21 THE FRENCH DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Description. 1. The Metric System is based upon the Meter, which is the standard unit of linear measurement oi t\\2it system. The Meter is equal to 39.370432 inches, or about 10 per cent, longer than the yard. 2. The Metric unit oi fluid measure i^ the Liter — the cube of y'o" meter (one decimeter), or 1000 cubic-centimeters. The Liter is equal to about 34 fluidounces. _ The Cubic-centimeter is equal to 16.231 minims. 3. The Metric unit of weight is the Gram, which rep- resents the weight of one cubic-centimeter of water at its maximum density. « The Gram is equal to 15.43234874 troy-grains. A Practical View of it. 4. In writing and dispensing prescriptions it is always sufficiently accurate and safe to consider i Gram exactly equal to 15 troy grains, and i Cubic-centimeter as exactly equivalent to 15 minims, and the fractions over 15 may be ignored. [The actual excess of i Gram over 15 troy grains amounts to less than three grains for every hundred grains ; and the excess of i Cubic- centimeter over 15 minims amounts^to 8^ minims for every 100 minims.] 22 THE METRIC SYSTEM. We will accordingly have : I Gram equal to 'j^ troy-grains I Troy grain equal to -^\ gram I Cubic-centimeter equal to y minims I Minim equal to y'^- cubic-centimeter. The ^^Fluigram." 5. We have already seen that the Gram is the weight of one Cubic-centimeter of water. Hence, when referring to liq- uids, the Gram and the Cubic-centimeter may be considered as equal quantities, except the liquids be very heavy (as in the case of chloroform, sulphuric acid, strong solutions, syrups, etc.), or very light (as in the case of ether). We will hereafter drop the term Cubic- centimeter, and adopt in its place the term Fluigram,* to bear in mind the more readily its close relation to the Gram. The word Fluigram is besides more convenient, euphonious, and American, than the word Cubic-centimeter. 6. The relation between the units of the old system and the units of the Metric System, then, may be expressed as follows : I Drachm is equal to 4 Grams ; and I Fluidrachm is equal to 4 Fluigrams. RULES FOR CONVERSION. Apothecaries to Metric, and Metric to Apothecaries. • 7. To convert troy-grains into Grams, or niinims into Fluigrams : A. — Divide by 10, and from the quotient subtract one-third. Ex. — To convert 60 grains into its equivalent in Grams, divide the number by 10, which gives 6 as the quotient; from this 6 subtract one- * Proposed by Mr. A. B. Taylor, of Philadelphia. RULES FOR CONVERSION. 2^ third (2), which leaves 4 as the answer, 4 Grams being equivalent to 60 grains. Or, B. Divide by \^. Ex. — 3 Fluigrams are equivalent to 45 minims, because 15 is con- tained in 45 three times. 8. To convert apothecaries' (troy) drachms into Grams, ox fluidrachmsvs\\.oYuj\GKKW&\ Multiply by 4. 9. To convert Grams into grains or Fluigrams into minims : Add ^o per cent, {one-half^, and multiply the sum by 10. Ex. — To 12 Grams add 50 per cent. (6), which gives the sum of 18 J multiply this by 10, which gives 180 as the number of grains equivalent to 12 Grams. 10. To convert Grams into drachms, or Fluigrams into fluidrachms : Divide by 4. 11. When whole troy-ounces or fluidounces are con- cerned, 30 is the multiplicator or divisor to use. To convert troy-ounces (or fluidounces^ into Grams (or Fluigrams) : Multiply by 30 ; and To convert Grams (or Fluigrams) into troy-ounces (or fluidounces^ : Divide by 2^0. ■ Accuracy of the above Rules. 12. In applying the rules given in paragraphs 7 to 10 to convert the several quantities by w^eight in any one prescription or formula con- structed exclusively in proportions by weight, the original proportions between these quantities will still be preserved, the deviation from exact- ness being invariably the same. It will also be found that the same rules may be applied in converting the several quantities in a formula 24 THE METRIC SYSTEM. or prescription constructed exclusively by measure, without disturbing at all the original proportions. In any formula, however, where weights and measures are used together, the application of the rules referred to will result in a slight change, so that in the resulting metric formula the measured quantities will be about 5 per cent, larger in proportion to the weighed quantities. This is a fortunate circumstance, because the diluents used in mixtures are the only ones proportionally increased, simply diluting the mixture 5 per cent., which is insignificant and on the safe side. Abbreviations. 13. The term Gram is abbreviated ''Gm/' and the term Cubic-centimeter, **C.C." The word Fluigram is abbrevi- ated *'fGm." Prescription Writing. 13 «. In writing prescriptions it is best not to use any- other units but the Gm and the fGm, fractions of which should be stated decimally. It is easier in prescriptions to write '^ o.io Gm " than *' 10 centigrams," or '^ 10 cents." To preclude the possibility of mistaking the sign"Gm" (always written with a capital " G ") for the sign " gr." (which is always written with a small " g "), we should invariably in. writing metric prescriptions put the number before the sign, using the common Arabic numerals, to distinguish sufficiently the metric formula from one in apothecaries' weights and measures, where the quantities are written by means of signs, all of which differ widely from " Gm" and " fGm," except the " gr.," which, however, is invariably put in front of the number, which is expressed in Roman numerals. 14. It has been recommended to use a " decimal line " instead of decimal points in writing metric prescriptions. This is entirely prac- ticable when the prescription blanks are expressly printed for that pur- pose, or M'here the decimal line is drawn from top to bottom. In writing a metric prescription, however, in which only one quantity is stated, a short decimal line drawn with the pen would probably be mistaken for the figure ** i." PREFIXES 25 Dimes, Cents, and Mills. 15. Tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, of both the Gram and Fluigram, maybe conveniently called *^ dimes," " cents," and '' mills " when referred to in speaking. The Fluidime being the equivalent of ij^ minim, we will not require any smaller unit to express quantities by measure. In referring to quantities by weight, however, it will be found convenient to use the expression ''dime" for o.io Gm (equal to i}4 grain), "cent" for o.oi Gm (equal to about ^ grain), and "mill" for o.ooi Gm (equal to g'j grain). The "cent" and "mill" are especially valuable terms and will be frequently used in this book. Prefixes Superfluous. 16. The prefixes used in the metric system are simply numerals, as follows : Myria , which means, . • • . . 10,000 Kilo, C( (( . . • • 1,000 Hecto, (( (( . . • . 100 Deka, « <( and 10 Deci, which means. . , . . • . . 0. 1 Cenii, (( « , , , , O.OI Milli 4-T (( « .. -•_ i.^ _'i_" ^e O.OOI And they are quite unnecessary in the writing of prescriptions (if not in all cases). For multiples of the units Gm and fGm, English numerals are far more convenient, generally intelligible, and at least equally ex- plicit ; while for subdivisions of these units, the American terms dime^ cent, and mill, are quite handy. Something to Learn by Heart. 17. The following approximate equivalents should be learned by heart: I Troy-grain (or minim) is equal to 0.06 Gram (or Flui- gram) or 6 cents. 26 THE METRIC SYSTEM. I Drachm (or fluidrachm) is equal to 4 Grams (or Flui- grams). I Ounce (or fluidounce) is equal to 30 Grams (or Flui- grams). I Gram (or Fluigram) is equal to 15 grains (or minims). 4 Grams (or Fluigrams) is equal to i drachm (or flui- drachm). 30 Grams (or Fluigrams) is equal to i ounce (or fluid- ounce). Drops and Spoonfuls. 18. The average '' drop " is equal to 0.05 fGm (or one- half *' fluidime"), and i fluidime is about 2 drops. An average teaspoon holds 5 fGm ; a dessertspoon, 10 fGm ; a tablespoon, 20 fGm ; and a wineglass, 75 fGm. Wherever " 5 fGm " is stated to be the dose of any preparation em- braced in this formulary, it is understood that a " teaspoonful " is meant, etc., and that the label should so indicate. This is done so as to show the relation of the dose to the total quantity prescribed. It will, how- ever, also serve to fix in our memory the fact that the average teaspoon holds more than one fluidrachm (4 fGm), and that it is safer and more correct to allow 5 fGm to the teaspoonful in making up the volume of a mixture. 19.

The essential characteristics of a system of weights and measures which may entitle it to cosmopolitan adoption assuperior to the old arbitrary and incongruous systems, or rather no-systems, are: ist. That it rest upon a basis of some geographical magnitude ; 2d. That it be a decimal system ; 3d. That the unit for linear measurement be the primary unit of the whole system, to which the units for measurement of surface, volume, and weight, derived from it, shall bear the simplest relation possible. These con- ditions are fulfilled by the metric system based upon the meter. MORE RULES FOR CONVERSION. Rules for Converting United States Weights and Measures into Metric. 21.

Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too great by 19.13 feet for every 1000 meters, or a little over one-half per cent. If one- half per cent, be deducted from that answer, the remainder will be too great by only about 32 j^ inches for every 1000 meters, or about one- thirtieth inch for every meter. Ex. — To find the number of yards equivalent to 1000 meters, add 10 per cent. ; the answer will be iioo, or 6.38 more than the exact number of yards equivalent to looo meters. Deduct from the answer (iioo) one-half per cent.

RULES FOR CONVERSION. 33 31. To convert Inches into meters : Divide by 40. Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too small by 15.75 inches for every 1000 inches, or about i^ per cent. If i^ per cent, be added to that answer, the sum will be too small by about i inch for every 1000 inches, or about xq^^ inch for every inch. Ex. — To find the number of meters equivalent to 1000 inches, divide by 40; the answer will be 25, which is 0.4 less than the exact number of meters equivalent to 1000 inches. Add to the answer (25) \]4. per cent. (.375), and the sum will be 25.375, which is only about 0.025 ^^ss than the exact number of meters equivalent to looo inches (25.40 — ). 32. To convert Meters into iitches : Add 10 per cent, and multiply by 36. Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too great by 19.13 feet for every 1000 meters, or about one-half per cent.

IDeduct from the answer (39,600) one-half per cent, (198), and the remainder will be 39,402, which is only 31.57 more than the exact number of inches equivalent to looo meters (39>370-43). Prices of Metric Quantities. 33. To find the exact value of any number of grams of any article, the price per "avoirdupois pound being known, is a very simple process : Multiply the number of grams with the price per avoirdupois pound, and then divide the product by 453.6 — the number of grams in the avoirdupois pound. This process is certainly not more difficult than the computations constantly found necessary in preparing invoices in which the quantities are expressed in pounds, ounces, drachms, and grains. For the sake of greater clearness I may be pardoned for quot- ing an example: 100,000 grams of potassium iodide is to be priced; 34 THE METRIC SYSTEM. the manufacturer's quotation is ^3.10 per avoirdupois pound; to find the total value of 100,000 grams at that price, multiply the 100,000 by 3.10 and divide the product, 310,000, by 453.6, which will give the quotient ^683.42 as the answer sought. In the same manner the exact value of any number of grams of any article may be computed from the price per avoirdupois ounce, by multiplying the number of grams by the ounce-price, and then dividing the product by 28.35, the number of grams in an ounce advoirdupois. 34. An easy and convenient way of computing the value of any article per Kilogram (1000 Gm.), the avoirdupois pound price being known, is to simply 7mdtiply the latter by 2.2, the answer arrived at by this rule being too small by only ^2.31 ^Jg for every ^i 102.71 J^, or 20.96 cents for every ^100, or about one-fifth per cent. (This rule is based upon the fact that i kilogram is equal to 2.20462125 avoirdupois pounds, or 15,432.34874 troy-grains — see Table I.) 35. To find the value per Liter of any article, the price per pint being known, multiply the latter by 2. 1 1, the answer arrived at by this rule being too small by only ^3.43 J^ for every ^21 13.43, or ^0.16^ for every ^100, or about one-sixth per cent — see Table K. 36. To find the value of any article per Meter, the price per yard being known, mziltiply the yard price by 1. 1 (or add ten per cent., which amounts to the same thing), the answer arrived at by this rule being too small by only about three-fifths per cent., or 63 cents for every ^100 [which may be added if deemed necessary]. TABLES OF EQUIVALENTS. 35 37. The following tables of equivalents are exact and reliable. They are all based entirely upon the determina- tion of the length of the Meter in English inches (by Cap- tain Clarke), and the determination of the value of the Gram in troy-grains (by Professor Miller).

(barometer 30 inches) weighs 15,432.34874 troy-grains (assuming as correct the determina- tion by Professor Miller of the value of the Gram in troy-grains = 15.43234874), the weight of i cubic inch of pure water at + 4° C. should be 252.88408 troy grains, and at + 1 6.66° C. (=62° F.) 252-88408 x 0-9989 1 .0000 = 252.6059 grains. If the number of cubic-centimeters in an Imperial Gallon, obtained as stated above (by dividing the number of grams equal to 70,000 grains by .9989), be correct, then, as I cubic-centimeter is equal to 0.061025386, etc., cubic inches, each Imperial Gallon contains 4,540.- 921544 X 0.061025386 = 277.1 1 15 cubic inches. Both the above results are verified by multiplying the number of cubic inches contained in one Imperial Gallon (277.1 115) by the weight of I cubic inch of pure water at 62° F. (252.6059), which will give the number of grains of pure water at + 62° the volume of which is the Imperial Gallon (70,000). The result of this multiplication is 'in fact 69,999.9998578, which proves the correctness of the calculations. 38 THE METRIC SYSTEM. I Wine Gallon . . = 0.833599 Imperial Gallon.

E L I X I R I A. Bitter and nauseous doses of medicine are sending a great and in- creasing number of the patients of physicians of the regular school of medicine away from their offices, and a still greater number who have not yet thought of running away are making a wry face. That persons who have the misfortune to be obliged to take medicine are beginning to demand that some attention should be given to the requirements of taste, smell, and even sight, so far as possible, is unmistakable. Man- kind has not been neglecting the cultivation of these senses, and it will not do to say that the doses which have been taken before can be taken now, for it really is not wholly true. Many physicians and pharmacists, appreciating this, have done what they could to remedy the evil, and in many cases have, in so doing, permitted efficacy to give way to pala- tableness, which is reprehensible. Manufacturers of Elixirs and other so-called "elegant pharmaceutical preparations" have done a great deal to strengthen the conviction of a vast number of reasonable people that the bitterness and nauseousness of many remedies can and ought to be overcome as far as practicable, and for this they deserve credit in addition to the substantial reward which does not fail to come to them in the way of patronage. Let us, then, recognize this demand, which is as irresistible as it is natural. The writer is personally cognizant of many cases where homoeopathic advice has been sought, not from any belief in the homoeopathic principle of treatment, but to escape the chances of get- ting prescriptions for something, the pain of taking which is perhaps less endurable than the discomfort of the ailment for which the advice was sought. A majority of patients are not suffering enough to be willing to submit patiently to that. To argue that if the patient is not sick enough to swallow the dose, he can get along without it, is cruel ; for many are so organized that they must be veiy sick indeed to overcome their repugnance to some remedies. The wholesale condemnation of the efforts made to produce medici- nal preparations, the looks, taste, or odor, of which will not make most people shudder, but will materially aid the physician by rendering it probable that his medicines will be faithfully taken, will prove vain. Let us, instead, help as far as we can to make preparations which will UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 93 hi reliable, uniform, and therapeutically efficient without being repul- sive. Much remains to be done to satisfy the fastidious, no, the reasonable tastes of the men, women, and children of to-day in the way of phar- macy, and it is to be hoped that the best men in the profession will assist and direct the movement. "The elixir business," as it is sometimes contemptuously styled, is only one of the symptoms of the great general neglect of the require- ments of the refined organs of taste, smell, and sight. The most objectionable feature of the "elixir business" is that of poly-pharmacy, for which the manufacturers may be originally respon- sible, though it is quite true that the physicians could suppress that objectionable feature if they would by not prescribing the preparations tainted with it. More than one prescription in every ten is for some elixir or other, and a great many of the elixirs, etc., which pharma- cists disapprove of from their standpoint, are prescribed by physicians with results which they report as satisfactory. Among the remedies most frequently administered in the form of palatable elixirs, wines, and syrups are the alkaloids of cinchona- bark and their salts, iron in various forms, stiychnine, arsenic, phos- phorus, bismuth, pepsin, extracts of beef and malt, etc. The choice of materials for making combinations between several of these is at- tended with some difficulty. Sometimes, also, the desire to put some- thing " new" on the market has induced manufacturers to try to com- bine a great number of things that ought not to be combined. Such attempts, however, cannot do much harm, for the physician will not encourage the poly-pharmacy, and the pharmacist will in the end be compelled to confine his attention to such preparations as will be found satisfactory to the medical practitioners. Many formulse for elixirs, etc., are given in this volume which the compiler would not recommend. All these preparations are, however, actually prescribed by physicians. It is presumed that there can be but little if any difference therapeu- tically between the several salts of one and the same alkaloid ; between the several soluble preparations of phosphates of iron, and, in fact, be- tween these and many other soluble iron preparations (as between pyrophosphate of iron and citrate of iron and ammonium) ; between the several preparations of arsenic, etc., provided the doses are in all cases the proper ones. If this be true, then each physician or phar- macist can construct his own formulae for many preparations of this class, combining the several substances according to the requirements, 94 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. The following enumerated materials are useful where considerable quantities of elixirs, etc., are to be prepared: Elixir of orange, stronger aromatic elixir of orange, aromatic tinc- ture of Curagoa, compound elixir of orange, aromatic elixir, spirit of orange, solution of citrate of sodium, solution of citrate of ammonium, solution of ferric phosphate with citrate of sodium, solution of ferrous lactate with citrate of sodium, stronger solution of quinina, stronger solution of cinchonidina, stronger elixir of str}xhnina, stronger elixir of arseniate of sodium, solution of phosphorus, citrate of bismuth and am- monium, saccharated pepsin, etc. Of the many iron preparations introduced in elixirs, wines, and syrups, the following are perhaps' most frequently used : Pyrophosphate of iron, citrate of iron and ammonium, tincture of chloride of iron with or without citrate of ammonium or citrate of sodium, ferric phosphate with citrate of either sodium or ammonium, acid phosphates of iron, lactate, lactophosphate and hypophosphate, ferrous nitrate, and the ferrous iodide and bromide. The phosphate of iron when used should be that made with citrate of sodium instead of that of the United States Pharmacopoeia, 1870, made with citrate of ammonium, because the former keeps much better. The best results are, however, not ob- tained with pyrophosphate of iron, but with " ferric phosphate with citrate of sodium," as recommended by W. S. Thompson, of Washing- ton. Manifestly the principal object in view is to get an iron salt which is therapeutically eligible and at the same time palatable and not liable to rapid change. Of all the preparations enumerated above, the ferric phosphate with citrate of sodium is decidedly the best in all respects for the purposes in question, and it can be readily combined with the alkaloids and their salts, introduced in elixirs (see under the head of ** Solution of Fenic Phosphate, etc."). Citrate of iron and ammonium does not keep so well in these preparations. Tincture and solution of chloride of iron (without citrate of sodium or ammonium), acid phos- phates of iron, and the ferrous bromide and iodide have an inky taste ; and the others are not at all stable. The "syrup" and other prepara- tions of "protoxide of iron" so-called cannot of course be made to contain "protoxide of iron," though this can be made to contain salts of protoxide of iron. Their names are, therefore, misnomers ; but these preparations seem to be largely prescribed. Ferrous citrate and ferrous nitrate are usually employed in their manufacture. The writer believes that ferrous lactate with citrate of Sodium is to be preferred. Pepsin is theoretically greatly injured if not rendered inert by any alcoholic menstruum, and the greater the alcoholic strength of the UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 95 liquid tlie less suitable is it supposed to be as a solvent or vehicle for pepsin. Pepsin is also incompatible with alkaline solutions, and re- quires the presence of free acid to develop or aid its digestive powers. Notwithstanding these facts, however, wines and elixirs of pepsin are not only used in enormous quantities, but are pronounced by numerous physicians to be valuable remedies, and even the elixirs of pepsin and bismuth, which are not pharmaceutically satisfactory preparations, are asserted to produce the peculiar effects expected from their exhi- bition. Yet, while the pepsin requires free acid and its effects are counteracted by alkalies, the citrate of bismuth and ammonium, on the other hand, is best retained in solution in the presence of free ammonia, and invariably precipitates in an acid liquid. So long as there is, how- ever, an extensive demand by physicians for the preparation, the best effort should be put forth to make it as well as we may. A perfectly neutral reaction should be aimed at in liquid preparations in which pepsin and the citrate of bismuth and ammonium are combined, and the same rule should be observed in combinations between pepsin and pancreatin. It is said that the manufacturers of elixirs of pepsin, bismuth, and pancreatin (which are the most difficult preparations to introduce in elixirs, whether singly or in combination) put in the quantities that should be contained in the final product, but that the portions which fail to dissolve or are deposited from the preparations after a time are necessarily removed by filtration to render the products clear and sala- ble, and this is doubtless true. The formulae given in this volume, however, have been found exceptionally satisfactory. It will be seen by comparing the several foraiulae that almost any combination desired can be readily made on the same general plan. 96 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. MATERIALS FOR ELIXIRS, ETC. ELIXIR OP ORANGE. ORANGE ELIXIR. Orange Spirit, forty fluigrams, . . 40 Alcohol, two hundred and fifty fluigrams, 250 Simple Syrup, four hundred fluigrams, . 400 Water, three hundred and ten fluigrams, 310 1000 Mix in the order named, and filter. [This aff'ords an excellent simple elixir and vehicle. It is somewhat difficult to clarify, especially if the Spirit of Orange is freshly prepared. Ten grams of filtering- paper reduced to a pulp will generally suffice to clarify effectually one liter of the elixir after being in contact with it for twenty-four hours previous to filtration. If the Orange Spirit has been made several weeks before being used in preparing the Orange Elixir, and care is taken not to dis- turb any sediment that may have formed in it (the spirit), so that the Orange Spirit used is absolutely clear, there will be no difficulty in getting the resultingproduct perfectly clear and limpid by filtration after twenty-four hours' maceration with the paper pulp as suggested. The use of hct syrup also aids the clarification in a marked degree. Another reliable method of clarification is to triturate the Orange Spirit with the paper pulp (which in that case must be very finely divided by boiling and constant stirring in water), and then to add the remaining ingredients and filter or percolate. Deodorized Alcohol should by all means be used in making any elixir. (The author, indeed, would never use UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPOEIA. 97 the common Alcohol in any pharmacal preparation for in- terna] use, such as the tinctures, etc.) In order to obtain a faultless Orange Elixir, the Orange Spirit which enters into it should invariably be made from the finest volatile oil of sweet orange that can be obtained. This volatile oil never keeps well, and should therefore be purchased in a fresh good condition and immediately made up into Orange Spirit with strong deodorized Alcohol, 0.820 sp. gr. The above formula is substantially that of the Formulary of the District of Columbia, 1875, except that the caramel is here omitted. While it is well to color some elixirs, such as Elixir of Calisaya, it is better not to color such as contain iron preparations. " Elixir of the phosphates of iron, qui- nina, and strychnina" has a far more elegant appearance, and keeps better without any coloring than with it.] "SIMPLE ELIXIR."

HORDEUM HORDEUM PRiEPARATUM. PREPARED BARLEY FLOUR. Barley flour is put in a linen bag, which is completely filled up to the point where tied, so as to leave no vacant space inside. It is then suspended in a deep tinned copper vessel, filled with water in such manner that it does not come in contact with the sides or bottom of the vessel at any point. Heat is then applied, and the water kept briskly boiling for the period of fourteen hours, replacing from time to time what is lost by evaporation. The bag is then removed, the baked mass taken out, and the outer portion, which has been penetrated by the action of the water and coheres, forming a thick layer. around the interior, is cut away. The interior portion is dried and reduced to powder, and constitutes the final product. About one- third of the flour is lost in the rejected pasty shell. A more economical method is to put the flour in a hermetically sealed tin box, and to immerse that in the boiling water, or expose it to the action of steam, which is, however, difficult to regulate satisfactorily. The preparation is a fine yellowish or reddish-gray flour, of an agreeable sweetish taste and bread-like odor. Its constituents are similar to those of malt, the starch being 184 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. changed by the action of the heat. It is an easily digested and nutritious infant's food, especially valuable in the hot season and in infantile diarrhoea. It was first recommended by Hufeland. HYDRARGYRUM. HYDRARGYRICUM CHLORIDO-AMIDIDUM. AMMONIATED MERCURY. NH,HgCl = 251.5. (^HydrargyriitJi Ammoniatum — White Precipitate.) Corrosive Mercuric Chloride, two parts, . 2 Water of Ammonia, three parts, . . .3 Distilled Water, sufficient. Dissolve the Corrosive Mercuric Chloride in forty parts of warm Distilled Water ; allow the solution to cool, and filter it. Pour this solution gradually and under con- stant stirring into the Water of Ammonia. Collect the precipitate at once upon a filter, and when all the liquid shall have passed through, pour twenty parts of Distilled Water upon the precipitate in the funnel. When this water has passed, dry the precipitate between bibulous paper as rapidly as practicable, in a moderately warm place, and protected from the light. Ammoniated Mercury is in perfectly white powder or pulverulent masses, and is decomposed and volatilized by heat without residue and without fusion. Its specific gravity is 5.7. It is insoluble in water and in alcohol, and odorless as well as tasteless. Heated with solution of potassa it becomes yellow, and evolves ammonia. Hydrochloric acid UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 1 85 wholly dissolves it (absence of calomel) without effervescence (absence of carbonates), yielding a clear solution. Its solution in acetic acid yields no precipitate with sulphuric acid (Pb). HYDRARGYROSUM CHLORIDUM MITE.

Introduce the Mercury into a capacious flask, and add fifty parts of Nitric Acid previously mixed with fifty parts of Water ; place the flask in a sand-bath and apply heat cau- tiously. Continue the digestion for one hour after reddish fumes have ceased to be evolved, or until the liquid begins to get turbid from the separation of basic salt. Pour off the solution from the undissolved Mercury into a large por- celain dish, and add to it the Boiling Water previously mixed with twenty five parts Nitric Acid, stirring constantly. When cold, filter. Mix the Diluted Hydrochloric Acid in a large earthen jar with fifteen hundred parts of Water. To this mixture add, during uninterrupted agitation, the Solution of Mercurous Nitrate. Let the precipitate subside, pour off the super- natant liquid, and wash the precipitate by repeated affusion and decantation of a large quantity of Water. Then trans- fer the precipitate to a filter and complete the washing with 1 86 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. Distilled Water, occasionally stirring the wet precipitate on the filter with a feather, until the washings are no longer affected by Hydrogen Sulphide or by Ammonia. Finally dry the precipitate between bibulous paper at a temperature not exceeding ioo° C. (212° F.), and keep in well-closed bottles. Mercurous Chloride is a white, impalpable, odorless, and tasteless powder, insoluble in Water, Alcohol, and Ether, and wholly volatili- zable by heat without evolving red fumes. Its specific gravity is 6.5. With Solution of Potassa it yields, without evolving the odor of Am- monia, a black precipitate of Mercurous Oxide, which is reduced by heat to Metallic Mercury. Distilled Water or Alcohol, after having been agitated with it and filtered, is not affected by Hydrogen Sulphide or by Argentic Nitrate (HgClj). Diluted Acetic Acid agitated with it also remains unaffected by the same reagents (absence of Ammo- niated Mercury). HYDRARGYRUM DEPURATUM. PURIFIED MERCURY. HST = 2CO.

Purified Mercury is perfectly dry and always presents a bright sur- face. When a few globules of it are dropped upon white paper, they roll about freely, retaining their globular form, and leave no traces. Its specific gravity is 13.5, When dissolved in Nitric Acid, and the solution evaporated to dryness, the residue may be volatilized without residue by heat. HYDRARGYRUM OLEATUM. OLEATE OF MERCURY.

LISTER'S ANTISEPTIC TREATMENT. a. Before and during Operation. 1. Carbolic Acid Spray, — Steam passing through a solution of I part of carbolic acid in 30 parts of water. As it issues from the jet, the solution contains about i part of acid in 40 of water. 2. Sponges, hands of operators, etc., dipped in solution of carbolic acid : i in 20. 3. Instruments covered with oil containing one-tenth part carbolic acid : some are dipped into or kept in watery solution : I in 20. 4. During intermission of spray, the wound is covered with a cloth dipped in carbolic acid solution : i in 20. b. After Operation. I. A strip of lint soaked in an oily solution of carbolic acid (i in 10), or a pure rubber drainage-tube, similarly treated, is left hanging from the wound during the first (and if necessary following) days. Either of them are cut off flush with the edge of the wound. METRIC PRESCRIPTION FORMULARY. 43 1 2. Over this is placed the Protective, into which a small hole is cut, corresponding with the end of the drainage-tube. The Protective con- sists of a layer of oiled silk, coated on both sides with copal varnish, and afterwards brushed over with dextrin, which latter enables it to become uniformly moistened when dipped into a solution of carbolic acid (i in 40). It is thus immersed just before being laid upon the wound, and is intended to prevent irritation which would be caused by the actual contact of the antiseptic dressing with the wound. 3. Two or three layers of gauze dipped in a watery solution of car- bolic acid (i in 40) are next applied. Then, 4. Seven layers of the Antiseptic Gauze, being a cotton fabric of open texture, impregnated with a mixture of 5 parts resin, 7 parts paraffin, and l part carbolic acid. 5. Over this is applied the mackintosh, which is about I inch less in size than the gauze. 6. Then another layer of antiseptic gauze is applied, and finally, 7. Carbolized bandages, sufficient to retain the dressings, etc. [Charles Rice.] PART IV. POSOLOGICAL TABLE. 435 DOSE TABLE. Remedies. Dose in Apothecaries' Weights and Measures. Dose in Metric Terms.
