BEASLEY'S PRESCRIPTION-BOOK.
THE BOOK OF PRESCRIPTIONS: containing Two Thousand, Nine Hundred Prescriptions, collected from  the Practice
of the  most Eminent Physicians and  Surgeons.   By HENRY
BEASLEY, Author of "The Medical Formulary," "The Druggists' Receipt-Book,"  &c. &c.   In  one  volume, duodecimo.
Price, $1 50.
The editor, carefully selecting from the mass of materials at his disposal, has compiled
a volume, sufficiently comprehensive, and yet sufficiently portable, in which both physician and druggist, prescriber and compounder, may find, under the head of each remedy,
the manner in which that remedy may be most effectively administered, or combined with
other medicines in the treatment of various diseases. The alphabetical arrangement
adopted renders this easy; and the value of the volume is still further enhanced by the
short account given of each medicine, and the lists of doses of its several preparations.
This is really a most useful and important publication, and, from the great aid which it is
capable of affording in prescribing, it should be in the possession of every medical practitioner. Amongst other advantages is, that, by giving the prescriptions of some of the
most able and successful practitioners of the day, it affords an insight into the methods
of treatment pursued by them, and of the remedies which they chiefly employed in the
treatment of different diseases. The volume is small, and its cost trifling.-lancet.

American, from the Sixth London, Edition. In one volume.
Price, $1 50.
The fact that Mr. Beasley's Formulary has reached a sixth edition, is a sufficient proof of
the estimation in which it is held by the medical and pharmaceutical public. It is, in fact,
a very comprehensive work, containing a great mass of information in a very small compass. The arrangement is alphabetical, as being most convenient. It contains selections
from the American, French, German, and other foreign Pharmacopoeias, in addition to the
Formulae from the three British ones. The work, however, is so well known, that it is
unnecessary to do more than announce the present edition, and to state that the doses of
the various medicines have now been added.-Medical Times and Gazette.

ADVERTISEMENT
TO  THE  SIXTH  EDITION.
THIS little work was originally intended as a counter companion to the Dispensing Chemist; and it was the compiler's aim
to furnish, in the compass of one small volume, and under an
alphabetical arrangement-as most convenient for reference-a
comprehensive collection of formulae required in the compounding
of prescriptions. In addition to the formulae and processes of
the last editions of the three British Pharmacopoeias,-as well as
many which have been successively rejected from previous ones,
but which are still occasionally required, —it comprises a copious
selection from the American, French, German, and other foreign
pharmacopoeias; from the well-known Formularies of Magendie,
Dunglison, Foy, Bouchardat, Swediaur, and others; from  the
pharmacopoeias of the principal hospitals of this and other countries; from  the best systematic works on Medicine, Materia
Medica, Surgery, and Pharmacy; from single treatises on particular remedies; and from the British and Foreign periodicals.
Care has been taken to include the new remedies most recently
introduced up to the date of publication.
At the suggestion of medical friends, the doses of the several
preparations are now generally annexed; and other additions have
been made to meet the wishes and requirements of the medical
practitioner and student.

ACIDUM NITRICUM PURUM.  E.  As the last; but the nitre is
purified by two or more crystallizations, till its solution is no
longer disturbed by nitrate of silver. The acid may be rendered
colourless by gently heating it in a retort. The commercial
acid may be concentrated by distilling it with an equal measure
of oil of vitriol, until two-thirds of the nitric acid are brought
over.  Mr. REDWOOD.

THE POCKET FORMULARY.                       21
ACIDUM  TANNICUM.  U. S.  Tannin or Tannic Acid.  Cause
washed sether to percolate through powdered nut-galls, in a glass
adopter, closed at the lower end with carded cotton. The liquor
obtained divides into two portions; pour off the upper layer,
-and evaporate the denser liquid to obtain the acid.  [Astringent.
Dose, from I to 3 grains.]
ACIDUM TARTARICUM.  L. Bitartrate of potash Tbiv, boiling distilled water Ciiss, prepared chalk ~xxvl, diluted sulphuric acid
Ovij f xvij, hydrochloric acid f 5xxviss, or q. s.  Boil the bitartrate with Cij of water, and add gradually half the chalk;
afterwards add the rest of the chalk previously dissolved in the
hydrochloric acid, and the remaining water.  When settled,
pour away the clear liquid, and wash the precipitate with distilled water till it is tasteless; then pour on it the diluted sulphuric acid, boil for a quarter of an hour, strain, and evaporate
the clear liquor, that crystals may form.  Redissolve the crystals, filter, concentrate the solution, and set it aside to crystallize. Repeat this till the crystals become colourless. E. Substantially the same. D. directs 10 parts of the bitartrate, 4 of
chalk, 7 of sulphuric acid, 120 of water, and q. s. water of muriate of lime.
ACIDUM VALERIANICUM. PRINCE L. L. BONAPARTE.  Distil not
less than 401bs. of valerian root, with 8 times its weight of distilled or rain water; collect the oil in a separatory, continuing
the distillation as long as the water is decidedly acid. Agitate
the oil with milk of lime, which takes up the acid which it
contains; nearly saturate the acid water by milk of lime (first
adding that already used, and then fresh); and lastly, add lime
water in excess.  Concentrate the solution till a pellicle appears,
and when cold decompose it by nitric acid in a long narrow flask
with a ground stopper; decant the valerianic acid which floats
on the surface of the liquid, and distil it with a gentle heat till
the distilled liquid ceases to be oily.  [Several methods of increasing the product of acid have been proposed: as boiling the
root with carbonate of soda, and distilling the decoction with an
excess of sulphuric acid; also by exposing the distilled water
to the air; or treating it with chromic acid. See Zinci Valerianas.  The addition of acids to the root in the still contaminates
the product with formic and acetic acids.]
ACONITINA.  L. Take of monkshood root, dried and bruised Tbij;
boil it in three successive gallons of rectified spirit for an hour,
in a retort connected with a cooled receiver, pouring off the

liquor, and adding with the fresh spirit, that which distils over.
Mix the strained tinctures, distil off the spirit, and evaporate
what remains to an extract.  Dissolve this in water, filter, and
evaporate the solution to the consistence of syrup. Add sufficient diluted sulphuric acid, mixed with distilled water, to dissolve the aconitine, and throw down the latter by solution of
ammonia.  Redissolve the precipitate by more acid and water,
agitate the solution with animal charcoal, filter, and again precipitate with ammonia.  Wash the precipitate and dry it.
[Other authorities direct the expressed juice of the plant to be
boiled, filtered, neutralized by carbonate of potash; the mixture agitated with Pether, and the setherial solution evaporated.
It is an energetic poison, only used in outward applications.]
ADEPS IYRISTICE.  Oil of Mace.  It is obtained from nutmegs
by strong pressure.
ADEPS PRAPARATUS.  L. 1824.  Cut the raw  hog's fat into
pieces, melt it over a slow fire, and strain through linen.  L.
1836, directs the lard of the shops to be well washed with water.
ADEPs OXYGENATUS.  See Unguentum Acidi Nitrosi.  [Another
preparation of lard, intended to facilitate its combination with
quicksilver, may here be described.  The fat is melted and
poured in a shower or fine stream into a large vessel filled with
cold water; it is then placed on a hair or wicker sieve, in a cool
dry cellar, for a few weeks or months.]
ADEPS OVILLUS PRAIPARATUS.  Mutton suet is prepared in the
same way as lard.  Other fats are similarly treated.
EtRUGO PR^PARATA.  Verdigris (diacetate of copper) prepared
in the same manner as chalk.  See Creta Prseparata.

xx, sulphuric acid 3vj.  Distil  xl; agitate the product with
dry carbonate of potash; and redistil, to obtain Jxxx.
2ETHER CHLORICUS.  The so-called medicinal chloric mether is an
alcoholic solution of chloroform, of variable strength.  Mr.
Guthrie obtained it by putting into a large glass retort fbiij of
chloride of lime, and two wine-gallons of rectified spirit, and
carefully distilling one gallon.  Mr. Redwood states that what
is sold in this country consists of one part of chloroform to six
or eight of alcohol.  Dose, 3ss in water, as an antispasmodic.
aTHER MURIATICUS.  Into a retort connected with a Woolfe's
apparatus, put equal weights of alcohol and muriatic acid, and




THE POCKET FORMULARY.                       23
distil with a gentle heat. The first bottle should contain a little
warm water, and the others be surrounded with ice.
IETH-ER NITRICUS.  Nitrous, or Ijyponitrous AEther.  E. Rectified spirit f  xv, pure nitric acid f ~vij. Put the spirit, with a
little clean sand, into a quart matrass fitted with a cork, through
which pass a safety tube, and another tube connected with a refrigeratory.  The safety tube being filled with pure nitric acid,
add through it gradually, f iijss of the acid; and when the
action has subsided, add the rest by half ounces, at intervals,
keeping the refrigeratory very cool. Agitate the distilled rether
first with milk of lime, and afterwards with half its volume of
strong solution of muriate of lime, and decant.  [LIEBIG has
proposed a more productive process (by the use of starch), but
the product is contaminated with prussic acid.  PEDRONI says
it may be safely and readily made by adding to 11 parts of crystallized nitrate of ammonia in a glass retort, 8 parts of sulphuric
acid previously mixed with 9 of alcohol, and distilling by a naked
fire, into a cooled receiver.]
~ETHER SULPIHURICUS. L. IEther Rectificatus. L. 1824. -Ether,
or Rectified zEther.  Pour ibij of rectified spirit into a glass retort, add fiij of sulphuric acid, and mix; place it in sand, and
heat quickly to boiling; let the liquor distil into a receiver,
kept very cool, till a heavier portion passes over; to what remains in the retort, when sufficiently cooled, add lbj more spirit,
and let the aether distil as before.  Mix the distilled liquors,
pour off the supernatant part, and add to it ~j of recently ignited
carbonate of potash, and redistil.  E.  Rectified spirit Oijss,
sulphuric acid f  x.  Pour f xij of the spirit gently over the
acid, in an open vessel, and stir them well together. Transfer
the mixture into a glass matrass connected by tubes with a refrigeratory, and with a raised reservoir containing the rest of
the spirit.  Raise the heat quickly to about 280~, and let the
spirit flow into the matrass in a continuous stream in a quantity
equal to that which distils over.  When f xlij have passed
over, and all the spirit has been added, the process may be
stopped.  Agitate the aether with f xvj of saturated solution
of muriate of lime, to which 5ss of slaked lime has been added;
decant the Pether, and redistil with a gentle heat, so long as the
liquid which passes over has a density not above 735. D. directs liquor vethereus sulphuricus to be distilled from  3xxxij
each of sulphuric acid and rectified spirit, and f 3xx drawn over.
From this, with 3ij dried subcarbonate of potash, f xij of rather
sulphuricus are to be distilled.




24                THE POCKET FORMULARY.
ZETHER LOTUS.  Commercial Eether generally contains a little
alcohol, which may be removed by agitating it with twice its
bulk of water, and decanting it.  The mether retains a little water, which does not impair its fitness for inhalation, and which
perhaps renders it more suitable for the preparation of tannic
acid.  If the,ether is acid, lime-water may be substituted for
water, when intended for inhaling.

AQU)E DESTILLATE. Simple Distilled Waters.  The plants, &c.,
are put into the still with twice as much water as is intended
to be drawn off.  Some recommend a previous maceration, but
this is not directed by the British Colleges. L. directs f 3vij
of proof spirit, and E. f iij of rectified spirit, to be added in
the still, for each gallon of product, but the utility of this addition is very questionable. The waters should be kept in a cool
place.  The L. & E. colleges allow to be substituted for most
of the distilled waters, mixtures of the essential oils and water.
L. directs f3ij of the essential oil to be rubbed with 3ij of car

bonate of magnesia, and a gallon of distilled water gradually
added.  When the sediment has subsided, filter the liquid. [A
better method is to rub the oil with ij of precipitated chalk
(Calcis Carbonas Precipitatum) and f ij of rectified spirit, and
afterwards by degrees, the water. In a few minutes it may be
filtered.  But Mr. Warrington objects both to magnesia and
chalk, as being to some extent soluble; and prefers fine porcelain clay, or calcined flints; he finds the waters keep better
without the addition of spirit.]
AQUtE SPIRITUOSm.  The distilled spirits were formerly so called.
See Spiritus.
AQUE  MEDICATME.  Besides the distilled waters, the following
list contains imitations of the principal mineral waters (Aquve
Minerales Factitiae); and a few saline solutions, &c., to which
the name Aqua is commonly applied, though the L. college now
restricts the term to Distilled Waters.
AQUA ABSINTHII.  Wormwood tops ibij, water q. s. Distil tbiv.
AQUA FLORUM ACACIA.  As Aq. Rose, from  fresh flowers of
Robinia pseudo-acacia.  It contains prussic acid.  ZELLER.
AQUA ACETATIS AMMONIE. E. See Liquor Ammoniae Acetatis.
AQUA ACIDI CARBONICI.  U. S.  Aqua Aerata.  Water charged
by pressure with 5 times its volume of carbonic acid gas.
AQUA ACIDULA ALKAIINA.  See Liquor Potasse Effervescens;
and Liq. Sodae Effervescens.
AQUA AERE ORBATA.  Water deprived of air by boiling, and
cooled in close vessels. It should always be used in preparing
sulphuretted and chalybeate waters; and is preferable for those
containing carbonic acid gas.
AQUA  IETHEREA.  Eauz Ethere'e.  P.  Mix 1 part of aether with
8 of water; agitate frequently in a bottle with a ground stopper;
let it rest 24 hours, separate the supernatant tether, and keep
the water for use.
AQUA  ETHIEREA CAMPHORATA.  Camphor 3ij, tether 3vj, distilled water f ~xv. Dissolve the camphor in the aether, and add

AQUA ALUMINOSA BATEANA.  Liquor Aluninis (Compostium.
AQUA AMMONIA.  See Liquor Ammonime.
AQUA AMYGDALmE AMARE.  P.  Mix Ibij of fresh cake of
bitter almonds (from which the oil has been expressed) with
enough water to form a thin pap.  In 24 hours distil Ibiv, by
means of steam conducted to the bottom of the still by a tube
connected with a boiler.  Filter the distilled water through wet
paper.  Another method is to add the above thin pap (after 24
hours' maceration) to water already boiling in the still, which
is to be immediately luted.  The Prus. and Hamb. pharmacopoeias (Aqua Amygd. am. Concentrata) direct tbij of the water
to be drawn from Ibij of bruised bitter almonds, ~ij of spirit,
and Ibij of water.  It is estimated to contain, when fresh, about
one grain of real Prussic acid (equivalent to 50 grains or 551
of Ac. Hydrocyan. dil. L.) in 5j.  There are many other formulae for this water in the foreign pharmacopoeias, differing
widely in strength, but most of them very powerful. M. HEBNLE
proposes to mix 3ss of essential oil of bitter almonds, and 3x
of diluted hydrocyanic acid (L.) with ~xij of distilled water.
The mixture to be well shaken, and then filtered. For another
substitute see Emulsio Amygdalse cum Amygdalina. Dose, from
10 to 40 drops. A concentrated water, obtained in distilling the
essential oil, is sometimes used to flavour confectionary, and as an
external application: but for internal use it is scarcely ever prescribed in this country, not often in France, but more frequently
in Germany, in the above doses.  An overdose proves rapidly
fatal.  A very dilute almond water is sometimes sold for Aqua
Cerasi Nigri.

BALNEE  MEDICAT.E.  Baths of cold or heated water, vapour, and
heated air, are used medicinally. The following are the temperatures at which they are usually applied.  WATER.  Cold,
50~ to 75~ F.  Temperate, 75 to 85.  Tepid, 85 to 92.  WTarm,
92 to 98.  Hot, 98 to 112.  VAPOUR. If breathed-Tepid.
90 to 100.  Warm, 100 to 110.  Hot, 110 to 130.  If not
breathed — Tepid, 96 to 106.  Trarm, 106 to 120.  Hot, 120
to 160.  HOT AIR.  As a Sudorific, 85 to 100.  As a Stimvulant, 100 to 130.  Water (usually warm), vapour, and heated
air, are often medicated by being charged with the active principles of various herbs and other drugs.  The principal kinds
in use are mentioned below.  There are various contrivances
for applying them either to particular parts, or to the whole surface, except that of the head.  Dr. LYNCH has suggested one
which combines a vapour and hot air bath. In the absence of
suitable apparatus, Dr. SERRES suggests a simple plan of applying hot vapour,-a lump of quick lime, wrapped in a wet cloth,
and covered with a dry one, is placed on each side of the patient in bed, and allowed to remain until perspiration is established.  Probably the vapour might be medicated by placing
the required ingredients between the two cloths.

EXTRACTA.  Extracts are made by evaporating the expressed
juices of plants, or their decoctions, infusions, or tinctures, by
a gentle heat.  They are usually of a pilular consistence; but
are sometimes prepared in a semi-fluid state (fluid extracts), and
others in a dry state.  In some instances, sether, wine, and
vinegar are used as solvents of the vegetable principles. A few
extracts are procured from animal substances.  The juices or
solutions are to be evaporated by the heat of a warm bath (L.)
or vapour bath, (E. and D.,) and constantly stirred towards the
end of the process.  But " most of them may be obtained of a
greatly superior quality by the process of evaporation in vacuo.
And the extracts of expressed juices cannot, perhaps, be better
prepared than by spontaneous evaporation in shallow vessels
exposed to a current of air."  E. "The softer extracts should
be sprinkled with a little rectified spirit." L.
Extracts of expressed juices (Succi Spissati) are made by
bruising the fresh plants, after they have begun to flower,
sprinkled with water, in a marble mortar, and expressing the
juice. L. & D. direct the expressed juices to be evaporated as
directed above, without being filtered or otherwise clarified. E.
directs them to be filtered cold.  P. directs them to be heated
till the albumen coagulates, and the coagulum to be removed
by straining; some of the extracts to be also made from the
unclarified juice (Extracta curm Eeculd) evaporated in shallow
dishes in a stove heated to 95~ or 104~ F.  RIGHINI recommends a tincture of the green coagulum  to be added to the
defsecated juice.
Watery Extracts (Extracta Aquosa. Ext. Simnpliciora. D.)




THE POCKET FORMULARY.                      113
are made by boiling the drug (after 12 hours' infusion, D.)
with 8 (D.) or 10 times its weight of water, till reduced to onehalf; the decoction is then strained, allowed to settle, decanted,
and evaporated as above.  Some watery extracts are preferably
made by maceration in hot or cold water; or by percolation, as
directed under Extractum  Kramerive, E.
Spirituous Extracts (Extracta Alcoholica) are made from
tinctures prepared with rectified or diluted spirit. They are
usually more active than the corresponding watery extracts, and
should therefore not be used except when specially directed.
The spirit distilled from  the tinctures should be reserved for
future operations.  MoHR describes another mode of preparing
alcoholic extracts of great activity, which is noticed under Ext.
Belladonnea Alcoholicum.
EXTRACTUM  ABSINTHII.  D.  From  a decoction of wormwood
tops, as directed above for watery extracts.  [A better extract

EXTRACTUM  ACONITI.  By evaporating the expressed juice of
monkshood, without previous clarification (L. & D.), or after
being clarified by heat (P.) E. directs the expressed juice to
be mixed with a tincture prepared from the pressed residuum
by percolation with rectified spirit; the mixture filtered, the
spirit distilled off, and the residuum evaporated in a vapourbath.  P. (Ext. Aconiti cumn ]Fecula) directs the juice to be
strained through linen, and exposed in shallow  dishes to the
heat of a stove, at a temperature of 95~ to 104~ F. until it becomes dry.  Dose, gr. ss-ij, gradually increased, if necessary.
EXTRACTUM  ACONITI AILCOHOLICUM.  U. S. &  P.  Coarsely
powdered aconite lbj, proof spirit Oiij, (tbiijss, P.)  Moisten
the powder with half its weight of the spirit, and in 24 hours
lixiviate it, packed in an apparatus of displacement (between
two diaphragms in a tin cylinder, P.) with the rest of the
spirit.  When all the spirit has penetrated the powder, keep
this covered with distilled water till the liquid begins to cause
a precipitate on falling into that which had previously passed.
Distil off the spirit from the tinctures, and evaporate the extract
to a proper consistence.  [Dr. FLEMING directs it to be made
by evaporating a tincture of the root.  (See Tinctura Radicis
Aconiti.)  The dose is from  one-sixth to one-third of a grain.
Dr. TURNBULL'S is made in the same way.  The addition of
10 drops of liquor ammonia to each 3j of the extract, forms his
Ext. Aconiti Ammoniatum.]

FERRI AMMONIO-CITRAS.  BERAL.  Citric acid 5xxiv, distilled
water Oiij, water of ammonia (Liquor ammoniw, L.) f gxiss;
heat to boiling, and gradually add moist hydrated oxide of iron
(see Ferrugo) till a portion remains undissolved.  About 3liv
or lv will be required. [Mr. PROCTER states that the temperature should be kept below boiling.]  The filtered solution is
evaporated to the consistence of treacle, and then spread thinly
on dishes, or plates of glass, and gradually dried in a drying
closet (not by heat applied to the bottom of the dishes) till it
can be chipped off in scales. Mr. HEMINGWAY directs a known
quantity of citric acid to be neutralized with ammonia, and a
similar quantity of the acid added to the solution. To this, add
the hydrated oxide gradually, till a portion remains undissolved. Evaporate the filtered solution as directed above. Sodacitrate and potash-citrate of iron are made in a similar way. Dose
gr. iv to viij.
FERRI AMMONIO-TARTRAS.  AIKIN.  Dissolve I part of tartaric
acid in q. s. of boiling water, add 2 or 3 parts of iron wire,
or turnings, and digest in a warm  place for 2 or 3 days.
Add caustic ammonia in slight excess, mix by trituration,
and pour off the solution, set it aside, decant the clear liquid,
and evaporate it to dryness.  Redissolve in distilled water,
add a little, more ammonia, filter, and evaporate the solution
in shallow, porcelain dishes, by a gentle heat till it becomes
brittle.  Then chip it off with a blunt-pointed knife.  [Mr.
PROCTER, jun., of Philadelphia, gives a different process.

the bottle, and set it aside, shaking it occasionally.  When the
solution has assumed a greenish colour, filter, and evaporate to
dryness. Dose, gr. ij to vj.
FERRI CARBONAS.  F. Sub-carbonas.  When a solution of carbonate of soda is added to one of sulphate of iron, carbonate of
iron is precipitated; but in drying, most of it becomes a sesquioxide.  (See Ferri Sesqui-oxydum.)  This, however, is in a
great measure prevented by adding sugar to the washed and
moist precipitate, as in
FERRI CARBONAS SACCHARATUM.  E.  Sulphate of iron ~iv,
carbonate (sube.) of soda vv; dissolve each in Oij of water, and
mix the solutions; collect the precipitate on a cloth filter, wash
it with cold water, squeeze out as much water as possible, and
without delay triturate the pulp with ~ij of pure sugar in fine
powder.  Dry it at a heat not much above 120~.  [The water
used for washing should have been recently boiled, to expel the
air, and cooled in a close vessel. Mr. R. PHILLIPS, jun., advises to add the sugar, previously made into a thick syrup, to
the washed precipitate without its being squeezed, and evaporating to dryness.] Dose, gr. v to viij.
FERRI CI-ILORIDUM.  P.  The proto-chloride is made by adding
clean iron turnings to muriatic acid, as long as any is dissolved,

assumes a greenish colour, pour it off, and wash what remains
with Oss of hot water. Evaporate the filtered liquors to dryness, at a heat not above 212~, in an iron vessel. Keep it from
the air and light. E. directs to proceed as in making Solutio
Ferri Iodidi, but to evaporate to Ith in contact with iron before
filtering; and to evaporate the solution in a close vessel, in a
basin surrounded with quick-lime.  [It is difficult to prepare
this in a perfect state, and almost impossible to preserve it so.
It is therefore more frequently prescribed in the form of solution,
syrup, or pills; which see.]

gently warm the whole in a flask, and filter.  The surface in
contact with the air becomes covered with a crystalline layer of
valerianate of peroxide of iron. Collect this in a filter, and
again expose the liquid to the air; pass it through the filter,
and repeat this as long as it yields crystals. Dose, gr. j to ij.
FERRUGO.  E.  Rubigo Ferri.  Hydrated Sesquioxide of Iron.
Dissolve 5iv of sulphate of iron in Oij of water, add f 3iijss of
oil of vitriol, and boil the solution; add f 3ix or q. s. of nitric
acid (1-380) in small portions, boiling the liquid for a minute
or two after each addition, until it acquires a yellowish-brown
colour, and yields a precipitate of the same colour with ammonia.  Filter and allow  the liquid to cool; then add in
a full stream  f giijss of strong ammonia, stirring briskly.
Collect the precipitate on a calico filter, wash it thoroughly
with water till the washings cease to precipitate with nitrate
of barytes, then squeeze it strongly, and dry it at a heat not
above 180~.
When it is intended as an antidote for poisoning with arsenic, it
is preferable to preserve it in a moist state, after being simply
squeezed.  [It is used in the same state for making the citrate,
ammonio-citrate, potash-tartrate, and some other salts of iron.]
[As its efficacy is impaired by long keeping, even in the moist
state, it would perhaps be better to keep the solution, prepared
as in the first part of the process, in readiness; and add the
ammonia when required for use.]

chalk.v, rub together till the globules are no longer visible.
D., as Hyd. cunl Magnesia, substituting precipitated carbonate
of lime for carb. magnesia.  Dose, from  5 to 20 grains.  A
little water is said to aid the extinction of the mercury.. [Mr.
TYSON substitutes a mixture of one part of his black protoxide
of mercury with 2 of prepared chalk, but this should not be
used except when expressly ordered.]
HYDRARGYRUM CUM MAGNESIA. D. Quicksilver 2 parts, manna 2
parts, carbonate of magnesia 1 part.  Rub the quicksilver and

HADEN'S form (adopted at MID. H.) is acetate of morphia gr.
xvj, distilled water 3vj, distilled vinegar 3ij.  But a weaker
solution is frequently adopted.  Some respectable establishments prepare it with gr. xij of the acetate in 5j of liquid,
which is almost exactly Magendie's strength; many put only
gr. viij; and some only gr. iv or ivss, to 3j. The latter strength
is about that of laudanum.  MANCH H.  Morphia gr. iv, distilled vinegar f3ij, distilled water f v, rectified spirit f3j.

LIQUOR OPII SEDATIVUS.  Mr. BATTLEY'S excellent preparation
is made (according to Dr. SIGMOND) by macerating opium in
distilled water for a long time at the temperature of the laboratory, and adding a little spirit to the filtered solution.  Dr.
CHRISTISON states that 1 xx of the solution is equal to i xxx
of laudanum.  Mir. COOLEY says it may be exactly imitated by
dissolving ^iij of hard extract of opium (prepared by percolation with temperate water) in 3xxx of boiling distilled water,
and adding to the cold and filtered solution ~vj of rectified
spirit, and water to make up exactly Oij.  Other formula have
been published; but when BATTLEY's preparation is prescribed,
his alone should be employed.
LIQUOR OPII CONCENTRATUS.  Messrs. SMITH, of Edinburgh.

the powder suspended in water no longer effervesces on the addition of acetic (L.) or muriatic (E.) acids.  [A  shorter time
than 2 hours is generally sufficient; and it is injured by overcalcination, especially as an antidote to arsenic. For the latter
purpose, indeed, it is better made without calcination, by adding a solution of caustic potash, or soda, to a solution of sulphate of magnesia (both cold), washing the precipitate with
water, and drying it with a gentle heat.]

the salt. Filter, and precipitate by carbonate of soda; wash
the precipitate, and dry it at a gentle heat.
MANGANESII MURIAS.  Saturate muriatic acid with carbonate
of manganese, and evaporate to dryness by a gentle heat. Preserve it in closely stopped bottles.
MANGANESII SULPHAS.  Add carbonate of manganese to dilute
sulphuric acid to saturation, concentrate by a gentle heat, and

Pour off the liquor, wash the residue with distilled water, and
evaporate the mixed liquors by a gentle heat as before, and set
aside that crystals may be formed. Press these in a cloth, dissolve them  in Oj of distilled water, and digest with ~jss of
animal charcoal, at 120~, and strain.  Lastly, having washed
the charcoal, evaporate the liquors carefully that pure crystals
may be produced.  To the liquor poured off the first crystals
add Oj of water, and drop in, frequently shaking it, sufficient
solution of ammonia to throw down all the morphia; wash this,
saturate with hydrochloric acid, and digest with 3ij of animal
charcoal, and strain.  The charcoal being washed, cautiously
evaporate the liquors that pure crystals may be obtained. E.
directs 5xx of opium to be exhausted with distilled water, and

NAPHTHA.  This name has been applied to many kinds of inflammable liquids, several of which have been employed medicinally.  But the medicinal naphtha lately introduced by Dr.
HASTINGS as a remedy for consumption, is Acetone, or Pyroacetic spirit. It is made by distilling acetate of lime, and redistilling the product over lime till its boiling point becomes
constant.  Or it may be procured by passing the vapour of
acetic acid through a tube heated to dull redness, and rectifying
the product as before.  The dose, to commence, is 12 or 15

NITRUM FULMINANS.  See Pulvis Fulminans.
OLEA DESTILLATA.  L.  Olea Volatilia, E.  Distilled Volatile,
or Essential Oils. The general directions are to put the herbs,
flowers, seeds, &c., into an alembic, with as much water as will
cover them, and distil into a large receiver kept cold. (L.) The
proper proportion of water varies for each article, and must in
all instances be such as to prevent the matter being empyreumatized before the whole of the oil is carried over.  (E.)  A
regulated temperature, not much exceeding 212~, should be
maintained by steam, or a bath of oil, or solution of muriate of
lime.  Sometimes the materials are suspended in network in or
over the water in the still. A proper vessel for collecting the
oil is described in E. 1839 & 1841. [Essential oils are directed
to be prepared from the fruits of Anise, Caraway, and Juniper
(L. E. & D.), of Dill (E.), and Fennel (E. & D.); from Pimento
berries (L. & D.); from the flowers of Chamomile (L. & E.),
Lavender (L. E. & D.), Elder? (L.), Rue (E.) and unblown
Cloves (E.); from the fresh tops of Rosemary (L. & E.), and
Savin (E. & D.); from the fresh herbs (flowering, D.) of Mint,
Peppermint, Pennyroyal, and Marjoram (L. E. & D.); and from
Sassafras root (E.), wood and bark (D.) A few others will be

226               THE POCKET FORMULARY.
OLEA MEDICATA.  OLEA COCTA vel INFUSA.  Oils medicated by
infusion or decoction. They are mostly prepared by digesting,
or gently boiling, the fresh leaves or flowers of various plants
in olive oil till they become crisp, taking care that the temperature does not rise above the boiling point of water, which it
is apt to do when the moisture is nearly all expelled. The oil
is then pressed out, and strained.  Several will be noticed below; but where no directions are given, 1 part of the herb to 2
or 3 of oil may be used.  A few animal substances are treated
in the same way.  MM. ROSE and SIEBERT propose to obtain
the medicated oils from dried plants; they reduce them to coarse
powder, moisten them  with a little spirit, and after a few
hours' digestion, put them in a percolator and pour olive oil over
them.
OLEUM  ABSINTHII.  The Essential Oil is obtained by distilling
1 part of fresh wormwood with 3 of water.  The Mledicated Oil

solution of potash mixed with f.j of water, and separate the
Ethereal oil which subsides.  [D. directs one-half of what remains in the retort, after distilling sulphuric aether, to be distilled with a gentle heat.]
OLEUM AMMONIATUM.  Linimentum Ammonise.
OLEUM AMYGDALAE. D.  Bruise fresh almonds in a mortar, and
express the oil without heat.
OLEUM AMYGDALAm AMARA  DESTILLATUM.  P.  The cake of
bitter almonds (from which the fixed oil has been expressed
without heat) is mixed into a thin paste with cold water, and
after 24 hours, subjected to distillation. The oil comes over
with the water, and falls to the bottom.  [This oil contains a
considerable but variable proportion of hydrocyanic acid, and is
consequently highly poisonous. It is more used by confectioners, cooks, and perfumers, than in medical practice. The dose
is stated to be from Rth to ~ a drop.]
OLEUM  AMYGDALAI AMARA DEPURATUM.  LIEBIG  states that
the crude distilled oil of bitter almonds may be deprived of its
hydrocyanic acid by mixing it with peroxide of mercury, and




THE POCKET FORMULARY.                    227
after a few days' contact, redistilling the oil. A mixture of

is ordered, Castile (olive-oil-soda) soap is intended. To silver
pills, introduce into a small dry gallipot, a leaf or two of silver,
then the pills (taking care that their surface is sufficiently moist),
and placing over them another leaf of silver. Cover the gallipot
with the hand, and give the whole a sudden rapid circular
motion.  Pills may be coated with gelatine by the following
method: prepare by heat, a strong solution of equal parts of
pure gelatine and jujube paste, about the consistence of treacle.
Fix the pills on the points of long slender pins, dip them  in
the warm jelly, after removing any skin which may have formed
on its surface. As each pill is withdrawn from the jelly, wave
it in the air to cool it, and then fix the head of the pin in sand,

most readily obtained by heating crystallized bicarbonate to
redness in a crucible, but more cheaply by dissolving bitartrate
of potash in 30 parts of boiling water, separating and washing
the crystals which form  on cooling, heating them in a looselycovered crucible, breaking down the mass, and roasting it in an
oven for 2 hours with occasional stirring; lixiviating the product with distilled water, and evaporating the filtered solution

separately dried, is sometimes kept.  10 parts of the acid require 14i of the bicarbonate.  But the name Potassse Citras,
or acidulated or citrated Kali, is often improperly given to a
mixture of tartaric acid, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, and essence
of lemon.
POTASSE HYDRAS.  L.  Potassa Fusa.  Caustic Potash.  Evaporate solution of potash in an iron vessel, until, the ebullition

an earthen retort, having its beak loosely stopped, and exposed
to a red heat for two hours, or as long as gas escapes. Withdraw the retort from the fire, close the orifice with lute, and
leave it till quite cold; then break the retort, reduce the black
mass to powder, and put it into a ~xij bottle with gvj of water.
Agitate it occasionally for half an hour, then filter, evaporate
the filtered solution rapidly to dryness, and keep the dry salt in
closely-stopped bottles. [The watery solution of this salt can
scarcely be evaporated without undergoing decomposition. The
process in P. is nearly as U. S.; but when the gas ceases to
escape, the heat is increased for a quarter of an hour; the tube
is then closed with lute, the openings of the furnace closed, and
the whole allowed to cool. The retort is then broken, and the
upper layer of pure fused salt removed from lower dark matter,
and preserved for use.]  Mr. DONOVAN states that an iron
quicksilver bottle, furnished with a curved tube dipping half
an inch into water in a cup, answers the purpose very well.
LIEBIG's process is-take 8 parts of ferro-prussiate of potash
in powder, dry it sharply, mix it with 3 parts of dried pure
carbonate of potash; fuse together, and when the mass is fluid,
stir it occasionally with a glass rod until it becomes perfectly
colourless; allow it to settle, and pour off the clear fused salt
on a marble slab.  This contains 1-8th of cyanate of potash.
Poisonous.  Dose, 1-8th to 1-4th of a grain.  Dissolved in 8
times its weight of distilled water, it forms MAGENDIE'S Medicinal Hydrocyanate of Potash.
POTASSII SULPHOCYANIDUM. Digest a watery solution of cyanide
of potassium with sulphur, of which it takes up a third of its
weight. Filter, and evaporate.
POTASSII IODIDUM.  L. Mix.vj of iodine with Oiv of distilled
water, and add.ij of iron filings, stirring frequently for half
an hour; apply a gentle heat, and when a greenish colour appears, add 3iv of carbonate of potash dissolved in Oiv of water,

and strain.  Wash the residue with Oij of boiling water, again
strain, and evaporate the mixed liquors, that crystals may be
formed.  [The process of E. is nearly the same; but with 5v
of iodine, ~iij of iron wire, and ~ij 3vj of dry carbonate of
potash.  The salt obtained by evaporation is then crystallized
from a solution in less than its weight of boiling water, or twice
its weight of boiling rectified spirit.]  D. directs a current of
sulphuretted hydrogen to be passed into a mixture of iodine and
water, and the resulting hydriodic acid saturated with carbonate
of potash, the filtered solution evaporated, and the residual salt
taken up with rectified spirit, and the solution evaporated for
crystals.  MOHR mixes 9xvj of iodine with 6 or 8 pints of
water, and gradually adds powdered sulphuret of barium  till
the solution becomes colourless, stirring constantly. The solution is then heated to the boiling point, 3xj of sulphate of potash added, the liquid boiled for a quarter of an hour, and filtered. The clear solution is then evaporated for crystals. Dose,
2 to 15 grains. Some practitioners give still larger doses; but
Dr. CHAMBERS says 2 grains twice or thrice a day will serve
every purpose the salt is capable of effecting.
POTASSII SULPHURETUM.  L. and E.  Liver of Sulphur.  Mix
together one part of sulphur and four of carbonate of potash;
heat them in a crucible until they have united. [When cold, it

PUrLPA.  Pulps are the soft parts of plants separated from  the
harder parts by pressing them  through a hair sieve.  The
general directions of the L. college are, "Press the pulpy fruits
that are ripe and fresh through a hair sieve, without boiling
them.  Put pulpy fruits, if unripe, or if ripe and dry, in a
moist place to soften; then press the pulps through a hair
sieve; boil them afterwards over a slow fire, and lastly evaporate
the water in a water-bath, until the pulps become of a proper
consistence."  D. and E. 1817, direct the dried or unripe
fruits to be softened by boiling them in a little water; other
authorities by steaming them.  Few of the pulps require a
separate notice.




THE POCKET FORMULARY.                   277

PULPA PRUNORUM.  L.  As directed for dried fruits. - P. & U.
S. direct the prunes to be softened by steam, and (the stones
being removed) the fruit beaten in a marble mortar, and pressed

same method, and the bulbs of lily, onion, and squill, the roots
of marsh-mallow, &c.
PULPA RosiB CANINE. The ripe hips are picked, deprived of
their seeds and hairs, and pulped in the usual way. P. directs
them to be put into an earthen pan, moistened uniformly with

QUASSINA.  Quassine.  WIGGERS.  Evaporate a decoction of
quassia to 2-3ds the weight of the wood; add slaked lime, and
in 24 hours filter.  Evaporate, dissolve the extract in rectified
spirit, and again evaporate.
QUINA, vel QUININA. Quinine, Quina, or Quinia. To a solution
of disulphate of quinine add solution of ammonia sufficient to
throw down the quinine; wash this with warm distilled water,
and dry it. To procure it in crystals, dissolve it in the smallest
possible quantity of alcohol, and let it evaporate spontaneously
in a warm place.
QUINA IMPUR.A.  Coloured Quinine.  Quinine Brute.  Exhaust
Peruvian bark by boiling it in water acidulated with muriatic
acid, neutralize the decoction with milk of lime, dry the precipitate, and boil it repeatedly with rectified spirit.  Mix, and
filter the solution, and distil off the spirit.  The residue is impure quinine, which M. TROUSSEAU regards as preferable to the
sulphate.
QUINA AMORPHA.  (Quina Informis, NELIGAN.) Amorphous, or
Uncrystallizable Quinine.  LIEBIG.  By adding a solution of
carbonate of potash or of soda to the mother water, from which
sulphate of quinine has crystallized, a precipitate is thrown
down, which, when washed and gently dried, forms Quinoidine
or Chinoidine.  Dissolve this by digestion with pure sulphuric
vether, decant the ethereal solution, and evaporate it with a very
gentle heat.  Amorphous quinine remains, which may be neutralized with diluted acids to form the salts; which are not
crystallizable, and are commonly used in solution. Its uses
and doses are the same as those of the ordinary salts of quinine.
For Mr. BULLOCK'spatent process, see Pharmaceutical Journal,
vol. vi. page 271.
QUINiE ACETAS.  P.  Mix 100 parts of quinine with 150 of distilled water, heat the mixture, and add as much acetic acid as

QUINCE FERRO-PRUSSIAS.  P.  Boil 100 parts of quinine, and
31 of ferro-prussiate of potash, with 2500 of distilled water for
a few minutes.  Let the solution cool, separate the oily compound, and wash it with a little water. It may be crystallized
by dissolving it in boiling alcohol, and cooling.  [M. PELOUZE
regards it as merely sulphate of quinine with a little Prussian
blue.]
QUIN.E ET FERRI IODIDUM. BOUCHARDAT. Pour a strong solution of acid sulphate of quinine into a fresh solution of iodide
of iron. Collect the precipitate, dry it quickly by pressing it
between blotting paper, and keep it from the air.
QUINN IODIDUM. RIGHINI.  Add, by drops, a solution of 24
parts of iodide of potassium in 8 of water, to a strong solution
of 20 parts of bisulphate of quinine.  Wash the precipitate
quickly, and dry it in the shade.
QUINIE HYDRIODAS IODURETA.  BOUCHARDAT.  Into an acid
solution of quinine pour a solution of iodide of iron containing
a slight excess of iodine. Boil the precipitate in alcohol, and
filter while hot. The salt is deposited in fine scales.
QUINCE ET HYDRARGYRI CHLORIDUM.  See Hydrarg. et Quince
Chloridum.
QUINE KINAS. It may be made by saturating kinic acid with
quinine; or by the mutual decomposition of sulphate of quinine
and kinate of lime.  [Kinate of lime is a residuary product in
manufacturing sulphate of quinine.  Kinic acid is obtained
from it by carefully adding to its solution enough oxalic acid
to throw down the lime; and evaporating the filtered liquid to
the consistence of syrup.]
QUINAE  LACTAS. PRINCE L. L. BONAPARTE.  Saturate lactic
acid with quinine, and leave the solution in a shallow vessel, to
evaporate spontaneously in a warm room till crystals are produced.  [The Prince recommends this, and all the salts of
quinine, to be made by adding a strong alcoholic solution of
quinine to a cold solution of the acid.]
QUINAE MURIAS vel HYDROCHLORAS.  P. Disulphate of quinine
10 parts, chloride of barium 3 parts; dissolve separately in
boiling distilled water, mix the solutions, filter, evaporate till




THE POCKET FORTMULARY.                    299
crystals begin to form on the surface, and set aside to crystallize.  [It may also be made by saturating dilute muriatic acid

way as the muriate, substituting nitrate of barytes for chloride
of barium.
QUINsE PHOSPHAS. Saturate dilute phosphoric acid with quinine,
concentrate the solution, and crystallize by refrigeration.
QUINA SULPHAS.  There are two sulphates of quinine, differing
in the proportion of acid they contain.  Some confusion exists
in the names by which they are distinguished.  Quinwe Disulphas, L., is the Quinne Sulphas of the E., D., P., U. S., and
other pharmacopoeias; the subsulphate, or basic sulphate of
KANE, &c.; and the neutral sulphate of SOUBEIRAN, GUIBOURT,
and other continental pharmacists.  This is the -Sulphate of
Quinine of commerce, and the kind in general use.  The other
sulphate is the Neutral Sulphate of KANE, BULLOCK, &c.;
and the bisulphate, or acid sulphate of SOUBEIRAN, GUIBOURT,
and others.
QUINA DISULPHAS. L. (Quinne Sulphas, E.)  Sulphate of Quinine.  Mix Cvj of distilled water with Siv 3ij of sulphuric
acid, boil it in -bvij of yellow cinchona bark for an hour, and
strain.  Boil what remains in a similar mixture for an hour,
strain; lastly, boil the bark in Cviij of distilled water for 3
hours, and strain.  Wash the remaining bark repeatedly with
boiling distilled water.  To the mixed liquors add moist oxide
of lead to saturation. Pour off the supernatant liquor, and
wash the deposit with distilled water. Boil the liquors for a
quarter of an hour, and strain; then gradually add solution of
ammonia to throw down the quinine.  Wash this until nothing
alkaline is perceptible, saturate it with Siv 3vj of sulphuric
acid diluted with water; digest with ~ij of purified animal
charcoal, strain, and having washed the charcoal thoroughly,
evaporate the mixed liquors cautiously that crystals may be
produced. E. directs the bark to be first boiled with carbonate
of soda, and afterwards with the acidulated water. The acid
liquor is concentrated, filtered, and decomposed with carbonate
of soda; the impure quinine washed, neutralized by sulphuric
acid, and crystallized from  the filtered solution.  The salt is
purified by digesting it with animal charcoal, and crystallizing.
D.  The acidulated decoction is treated with lime, and the
quinine extracted from  the precipitate by rectified spirit, and




300               THE POCKET FORMULARY.
neutralized by sulphuric acid.  Dr. PEREIRA states that the
following method is usually followed by manufacturers: coarsely
pulverized yellow bark is boiled repeatedly in water acidulated
with sulphuric or muriatic acid, and powdered slaked lime
added until the liquor is sensibly alkaline. The precipitate is
drained, pressed, powdered, and digested in rectified spirit.
The filtered tincture is distilled, and the brown viscid residuum
carefully saturated with very dilute sulphuric acid, filtered and
set aside to crystallize.  The coloured salt thus obtained, is
drained, compressed, dissolved in water, decolorized by digestion
with animal charcoal, recrystallized, and carefully dried. [This
is the salt of quinine most frequently employed.  The dose is
from one grain to five.]
QUINZE  SULPHAS NEUTRALIS.  Soluble Sulphate of Quinine.
Dissolve 5j of disulphate of quinine in distilled water acidulated
with f3ss of sulphuric acid, by the aid of heat; filter while
hot, and crystallize by refrigeration.
QUINE SULPHO-TARTRAS.  By evaporating the solution (see Solutio Quince Sulpho-tartratis) to dryness.
QUINE  TANNAS.  To a solution of any soluble salt of quinine
add a solution of tannic acid.  Wash the precipitate with a
little cold water, and dry it.  Dose, &c., as the other salts of
quinine.
QUINiE TARTRAS.  P.  As the acetate, substituting tartaric for
acetic acid.
QUINCE VALERIANAS.  PRINCE L. L. BONAPARTE.  TO a cold
solution of valerianic acid, in distilled water, add a concentrated
solution of quinine in highly rectified spirit to saturation, and
let it evaporate spontaneously, or by the aid of a very moderate
heat, that crystals may be produced.  WITTSTEIN directs 3
parts of recently precipitated quinine to be boiled with 1 of
valerianic acid and 60 of water, and the solution to be filtered
hot, and set aside that crystals may form.  Dry the crystals
under 122~ F.  Dose, gr. ss every 2 hours, in epilepsy, hermicrania, &c.
RADIX  ANGELICA  CONDITA.  Candied Angelica.  Slice the
fresh roots, removing the pith, and soak them for 2 days in
water several times changed; boil them a little and pour off
the water; cover them with a syrup to the height of 2 inches.
After a day or two, boil them gently if necessary. In the same
manner are candied the roots of Eringo, Elecampane, &c.; and
the peels of orange, lemon, and citron.

well washed with water, pressing the plant after each operation.
It is then dried and digested with rectified spirit, to which
cream of lime, containing an ounce of lime to each pound of
gunjah, has been added.  To the filtered tincture, add sulphuric acid in slight excess, again filter, distil off most of the spirit,
add to the residue 3 or 4 times its bulk of water, evaporate the
remaining spirit in a porcelain dish, pour off the watery liquid,
wash the resin with water, and dry it. 2-3ds of a grain acted
as a powerful narcotic.

mixed tinctures; mix the residue with 20 or 30 times its
weight of warm water, wash the resinous matter, and dissolve
it in a little rectified spirit; then spread it on plates, and dry
in a stove until it becomes brittle.  MOUCHON directs 1 part of
ivory black to be put into a percolator, and over it 2 parts
more, mixed with an equal weight of jalap powder; rectified
spirit is then poured on till a tincture is obtained, equal in
weight to the jalap, and twice its volume of water added to

310               THE POCKET fORMULARY.
usually sold, is rather a bicarbonate than a sesquicarbonate.
The small quantity of neutral carbonate it contains may be removed by causing a little distilled water to percolate through it.
D. nearly as L.  For E. see the next article.
SODuE BICARBONAS.  E.  Carbonic acid is passed into a vessel
containing a mixture of 1 part of crystallized and 2 of dried
carbonate of soda, till gas is no longer absorbed; and the salt
dried at a heat not exceeding 120~'. To procure the carbonic
acid gas, fill with fragments of marble a glass jar, open at the
bottom and tubulated at top; close the bottom so as to keep in
the marble without preventing the free passage of a fluid; and
having connected the tubulature by a bent tube and corks with
an empty bottle, and this with the vessel containing the soda,
immerse the jar in diluted muriatic acid.
SODA CHLORINATA.  Dr. CHRISTISON.  Pass chlorine gas (from

Ovj of boiling water, and strain through linen; pass more boiling water through the mass on the filter till it comes away
nearly tasteless.  Let the impurities subside in the united
liquors, pour off the clear fluid and concentrate to Ovj. Let
it settle; boil the clear liquor, and add carbonate of soda (dissolved in boiling water) till the acid is neutralized. Set the
solution aside to crystallize. More crystals may be obtained by
evaporating the remaining liquor, adding carbonate of soda in
slight excess.  Preserve the crystals in well-closed vessels.
Dose, 3iv to 5j as a laxative; or from Dj to 3ss 3 times a day
in uric gravel.
SODM SUILPHAS.  Glauber's Salt.  L.  Dissolve ]bij of the salt
left in the distilling muriatic acid in Oij of boiling water;
saturate with carbonate of soda, evaporate, and crystallize. E.
directs the excess of acid to be neutralized with marble. [The
commercial sulphate of soda (being a product in making sal
ammoniac) frequently  contains  sulphate  of ammonia.  To
purify it, add to a hot solution a little subcarbonate of soda,
and boil for a few minutes. Strain the solution, and set it in
a cool place to crystallize. More crystals may be obtained from
the remaining liquor by evaporating it at a gentle heat; or it
may be used for dissolving a fresh portion of the salt.]

SPIRITUS.  Spirits.  Under this head are placed distilled spirits,
simple and compound; with a few  alcoholic solutions, and
ethereal spirits.  The spirit which forms the basis of these
compounds is not prepared by pharmacists, but is a separate
branch of manufacture.  The Colleges, however, have indicated, by their densities, the strength of the spirits to be employed. See Spiritus Rectificatus, Spiritus Tenuior, and Alcohol.
These are the degrees of strength used in this country; but in
France a spirit intermediate between rectified and proof spirit
is used in many preparations, the density of which is about
863.  In preparing the distilled spirits, the seeds &c. are to be
bruised; the E. P. and other Ph. direct previous maceration for
2 or more days.

STRYCHNIA.  L.  Strychnine, or Strychnia.  Extract of nuxvomica, made with rectified spirit, is dissolved in cold water, and
the filtered solution evaporated to syrup; to this, while yet
warm, magnesia is added to saturation.  Stir the mixture, set
it aside for 2 days, then pour off the supernatant liquor. Press
the residue in cloth, boil it in rectified spirit, filter, and distil
off the spirit. Digest the residue with a gentle heat, in diluted
sulphuric acid mixed with water; set aside for 24 hours, that
crystals may form; press, and dissolve them in water, and add
ammonia to throw down, the strychnia. Dissolve this in boiling
spirit, and set aside to crystallize.  E. Take 1bj of nux-vomica
steam it, slice it, dry it thoroughly, and grind it.  Macerate it
in Oij of water for 12 hours, boil it, strain, press, and repeat
the maceration and decoction twice with Ojss of water.  Concentrate the decoctions to the consistence of thin syrup, add
~jss of lime in the form of milk of lime, dry the precipitate in
a vapour-bath, pulverize it, and boil with successive portions of
rectified spirit, till the spirit ceases to acquire a bitter taste.
Distil off the spirit till the residuum is sufficiently concentrated
to crystallize on cooling. Purify the crystals by repeated crystallizations. [Strychnine is more readily obtained, and in greater
purity, from St. Ignatius's Bean.] The usual dose of strychnia
and its salts to commence with is 1-12th of a grain, or from
1-16th to 1-10th, to be slowly increased, carefully watching its
effects.  MAGENDIE says the salts are more active than their
base.

SUBLIMATIS CORROSIVUS.  E.  See Hydrargyri Bichloridum.
SuccI.ETHERIZATI.  M. BOUCHARDAT'S Sucs etheres.  To the
expressed juice of plants, so mnuch rether is added, that after
agitating them together, a thin layer of sether rises to the surface. After 24 hours, remove the supernatant (ether, by means
of a pipette, filter the juice, and return the rether. Preserve
the vetherized juice in well-stoppered bottles, and when any of
the juice is required, reverse the bottle, that the aether may remain behind.  The mtherized juices are said to retain their
active properties for an indefinite period. The method is applied with marked advantage to the juice of aconite, anemone,
black hellebore, and hemlock.  It is probably applicable to
many infusions, decoctions, and fluid extracts, as well as to
expressed juices.
SuccI ALCOHOLATI.  Juices preserved with spirit.  The Alcoolatures of M. BERAL. These are prepared from  fresh plants,
either by adding rectified spirit to the expressed juice, or by
digesting the bruised leaves with the spirit before pressing.
The latter method, which is adopted in the Paris Codex, is
noticed under TINCTURJ.  The preserved juices lately introduced into use in this country are prepared according to the
following process:-The leaves of the mature plants [when
more than half the flowers are fully blown, Mr. SQUIRE,] are
bruised in a marble mortar, and placed in a powerful press.
The expressed juice is allowed to stand for 24 hours, it is then
poured off from the dregs, and rectified spirit added: after
standing 24 hours the liquid is filtered. Mr. BENTLEY directs
one measure of rectified spirit to be added to four of juice.
Mr. SQUIRE, one of spirit to two of juice. The Homceopathists

usually employ equal parts of spirit and juice, the latter being
generally expressed from the whole flowering plant, and immediately mixed with the spirit. In some cases they use double
or triple the quantity of spirit. GIESKE directs one part by
weight of spirit to five of juice. BERAL, and the SAXON PIH.
direct equal weights. The principal preserved juices used in
this country are those of Aconite, Belladonna, Digitalis, Hemlock, Henbane, &c.  These are all prepared according to the
above directions, from the fresh plants.
SuccI ANTISCORBUTICI. Succus Cochlearix Compositus. L. 1788.
Juice of scurvy-grass, oranges, water-cresses, each Ojss, spirit
of nutmeg f  viij.  P.  Leaves of water-cresses, scurvy-grass,
and buck bean, in equal parts.  Bruise, express, and filter
through paper.
SuccI EXPRESsI.  The juices of fresh plants are obtained by
bruising them in a marble mortar, and expressing them in an
iron or wooden press.  Some plants, having little juice (as the
labiate plants) or of a viscous nature (as borage and cabbage),
require the addition of an eighth of water.  The expressed
juices should be filtered cold if practicable; but some (as red
cabbage, &c.) require to be previously heated, so as to coagulate
their albuminous matter.  The acid juices of fruits are allowed
to clear themselves by a slight fermentation, in a cool place,
before filtering. Buckthorn berries, mulberries, and elder berries, are left for 3 or 4 days, after being crushed between the
hands, before pressing. Cherries, barberries, and grapes, are
crushed in the hands over a hair sieve, the marc pressed, and
the mixed juice allowed to ferment for two days, then filtered,
and preserved by Appert's process.  Some juices, as those of
currants and raspberries, have their clarification remarkably
expedited by the addition of the juice of cherries. The expression of quinces, oranges, &c., is facilitated by mixing the
crushed fruit with clean chopped rye straw. [APPERT'S mode
of preserving vegetable juices is, to bottle them, secure the
corks with wire, and place the bottles up to their necks in cold
water, with straw between them to prevent breakage; heat to
boiling, and when the water has boiled for a few minutes, remove the bottles, and when cool cover the corks with wax or.
pitch. Juices are also preserved by the addition of alcohol or
aether.  See Succi Alcoholati; and Succi 2Etherizati.]
SucCI SPISSATI.  Inspissated juices are now included among the
extracts.  See Extracta.

should be kept in a place the temperature of which never exceeds 550 F."  [L.]  Refined sugar is to be used except when
otherwise directed. The usual proportions are two parts by
weight of sugar to one of liquid, which is nearly the ratio in
L. 1824; but the proportion of sugar was increased in 1836.

THE POCKET FORMULARY.                      341
Mr. BULLOCK, under this name, but its composition has not
been made known. Another form is, citrate of iron and quinine,j, syrup of orange-peel Oj.
SYRuPUs FERRI CITRATIS.  BERAL.  Liquid citrate of iron gj,
syrup 5xv, spirit of lemon 3ij.  An improved form is, ammonio-citrate of iron gr. xvj, simple syrup ~j, saccharide of

quickly, while hot, into a matrass containing the sugar.  Dissolve the sugar with a gentle heat, and add distilled water to
make it up f vj.  nZxij contain gr. j of iodide of iron.  Dr.
A. T. THOMSON prefers a weaker syrup, containing only gr. iij
in f 3j.  It may be made as the last, using only 3ij of iodine
instead of 200 grains.  DUPASQUIER's  syrup contains but 1
grain in an ounce.  [These syrups keep better than the watery
solution; they become coloured, however, after a time, but
without any deposit taking place if the air is excluded; the
colour may in a great measure be removed by boiling them with
a little clean iron.]

to be digested in a covered water-bath with 3xvj of water for 12
hours, stirring it now and then; the liquor is then filtered, and
twice its weight of very white sugar dissolved in it by a gentle
heat in a close vessel.  The syrup is then filtered through
paper. A less elegant syrup is prepared by adding gradually
j- of tincture of Tolu to -bij (E.) or Ibjss (D.) of recently prepared simple syrup, shaking the mixture after each addition.
M. MARCHAND proposes the following formula:-Balsam of
Tolu 16 parts, white sugar 32, cold water 60, syrup 1000.
Powder the balsam with the sugar, place it in an earthen or
tin pot, mix the water with it, and pour over them  the syrup,
boiling. Leave it covered up for 12 hours, stirring now and

THE POCKET FORMULARY.                      355
rarely prescribed in this country, and probably never made according to the authorized formulae) may be substituted the
following:THERIACA EDINENSIS.  E. 1744.  Serpentary, valerian, contrayerva, each giv; aromatic powder Siij, guaiacum  resin 5ij,
castor gij, nutmeg 5ij, saffron Zj, opium 3j, clarified honey 375.
Dissolve the opium in a little wine, and mix it with the other
dry ingredients in powder, and the honey.  It contains I gr. of
opium in 100.
TINCTURE.  Spirituous and ftEthereal Tinctures.  The dry ingredients, divided by cutting or bruising, are macerated in the
spirit for the time prescribed, in well-closed vessels, shaking
occasionally.  The liquor is then strained off, the residuum
pressed, and the tincture cleared by subsidence or filtration.
Another method of preparing tinctures is by percolation. The
dry materials, reduced to a coarse, or moderately fine powder,
are moistened with enough spirit to form a thick pulp; after
12 hours (or sometimes without delay) the mass is put into a
cylinder (the lower end of which is furnished with a pierced
diaphragm, or obstructed by cotton, or tied over with cloth),
and the solvent poured into the upper part of the cylinder.
The degree of fineness to which the materials are to be reduced,
and the firmness with which the mass is to be packed in the
cylinder, vary with the different articles, and can only be learned
by experiment.  Dr. BURTON proposes to inclose the dry ingredients in a calico bag, and suspend it in the spirit contained
in a cylindrical vessel; a plan which in many cases is very
convenient, and shortens the time required for maceration. M.
PERSONNE found that most substances required 5 times their
weight of spirit to extract their active principles. M. HCENLE'
method of making his concentrated tinctures is this: Digest 8
parts of the vegetable powder with 16 of the spirit of wine
(0-857 sp. gr.) for 4 days at 72~ F., stirring occasionally. Express, and filter; add to the residue as much spirit as it has
absorbed, and again express and filter.  Mix the liquors, the
weight of which should be 16 parts.  In this way are prepared
concentrated tinctures of the leaves of aconite, belladonna,
conium, hyoscyamus, &c.; the flowers of arnica and chamomile; the roots of ipecacuanha, valerian, &c. For the methods
of preparing tinctures from fresh plants, see Tinctura Aconiti,
and Succi Alcoholati.  The tinctures of the French Codex are
generally stronger than those of the British Pharmacopoeias.

TROCHISCI, Troches or Lozenges.  These are small dry masses of
confectionary of a determinate form; such as the flat lozenges
(Tabellse, Tablettes, P.); the hemispherical drops (Pastilli,
Pastilles, P.); pipes, comfits, grains, &c. Double refined sugar
should be used, and (except for drops) should be reduced to a
fine powder, as should also the other dry ingredients. Some
French pharmaciens apply the term Pastilles as a general name
for these compounds.  Another form of lozenge will be found
under PASTA.  Only those lozenges which are gmedicated require notice in this work.
Several compounds, not containing sugar, were formerly
prepared in a similar form, but are now obsolete; except a few
which are used as external applications (to which alone the
term is now applied in the French Codex), and which are here
placed after the rest.

gum lozenge, see Pasta Gummi.  The transparent gum  paste
or lozenges may be thus made:-Dissolve Ibvj of picked gum
arabic without heat in lbviij of water, and add the solution to
lbvij of simple syrup.  Evaporate by a gentle heat to a very
thick syrup, adding towards the end f iv of orange-flower water.
Finish as directed for Pasta Jujubae.

Quicksilver ~j, nitric acid f 3xj, laitd ~vj, olive oil f iv; dissolve the mercury in the acid, and mix the warm solution with
the lard and oil, previously melted together.  [If the acid
should not be of the full strength, the quantity should be proportionally increased. The density of the acid ordered by the
College being 1500, if a weaker acid is used, one 24th more
must be added for every 10 less density.  Thus, if the density
of the acid employed in the above ointment has a density of
only 1490, r127 (the 24th of f "xj) must be added, making
f 3xj   xxvij.  This rule applies pretty exactly down to 1420.
The principal causes of failure in making this ointment are, an
insufficient quantity of acid, and too low a temperature. (See
Mr. SCHACT'S paper, Pharm. Journal, vol. iv.) The heat, however, should not exceed 212~ F.]  E. (Ung. Citrinum) directs'iv of quicksilver to be dissolved, with a gentle heat, in f^viij
f vj of pure nitric acid, and the solution to be added, whilst
hot, to S xv of lard, melted with f 3 xxxij of olive oil, and still
hot, in a vessel capable of holding 6 times the quantity, and
thoroughly mixed.  If the mixture do not froth up, increase
the heat a little till this takes place.  [This formula is founded
on that of Messrs. DUNCAN & Co., of Edinburgh.  U. S. substitutes neatsfoot oil for olive oil.  Mercury 5j, nitric acid

VEGETABILIUM PREPARATIO.  The following is the substance of
the directions of the pharmacopoeia for the collection, preservation, and preparation of vegetable simples.  A few additions
from other authorities are included in brackets.
Vegetables should be collected in dry weather, when neither
wet with dew nor rain.  They should not be kept longer than
a year.  To dry them, spread them  lightly, shortly after they
are gathered, and dry them with a gentle heat.  [The temperature should be between 100~ and 212~.  BRANDE.]  Preserve them, in convenient vessels, fr1om the access of damp or
light.
Most Roots should be dug up before the leaves and stalks
35*




414                THE POCKET FORMULARY.
shoot forth.  [Annual roots, just before the time of flowering;
biennial after the vegetation of the first year has ceased;
pereinnial in the spring before vegetation has commenced. Dr.
WooD.]  Lay up the roots that are to be kept fresh in sand.
Cut the cormi of meadow-saffron, and the bulbs of squill, before drying them, into thin transverse slices, after removing
their dry coats. [Fleshy roots may be sliced, and after drying
in the air, exposed to a heat of 100~; the sliced bulbs should
be dried at the same temperature.  Dr. WooD. Dr. HOULTON
says that colchicum may be dried by placing the cormi, without
slicing them, in a dry situation after removing the loose coats,
and carefully extracting the eye or bud, the rudiment of the
future plant.]
Barks are to be collected at the season in which they are
most readily separated from  the wood.  [This, with few exceptions, is late in  the spring, or early in the summer.
BRANDE.]
Leaves are to be gathered after the flowers are fully blown,
and before the seeds ripen. Seeds when fully ripe, and kept in
their seed-vessels.  Flowers when recently blown.
Pulps.  See Pulpae, page 276.
Gum-Resins.  Opium  should be kept carefully freed from
extraneous substances; and kept soft for pills, and hard (dried
by water-bath) for powders. Those Gum-Resins should be preferred which require no purification. If less pure, boil them
in water until they become soft; press through hempen cloth,
and set by, that the resinous part may subside. Evaporate the
supernatant liquor, and towards the end add the resin, and mix.
The easily fusible gum-resins may be inclosed in an ox-bladder.
and kept in boiling water till soft enough to be pressed through
hempen cloth. [See Extractum  Styracis, and Extractum Scammonii.  Mr. BRANDE recommends reducing ammoniacum, assafoetida, and galbanum  to powder in cold weather, and passing
the powder through a sieve.]
VERATRIA.  L.  Boil %lij of bruised sabadilla in 3 successive
gallons of rectified spirit, in a retort with a receiver fitted to it.
Press the sabadilla, distil off the spirit from the mixed and
filtered liquors, and evaporate the residue to the consistence of
an extract.  Boil this 3 times or oftener in water, acidulated
with a little diluted sulphuric acid, and evaporate the clear
liquor to the consistence of syrup.  To this, when cold, add
magnesia to saturation, stir it, squeeze, and wash it twice or
thrice; then dry it, and digest it twice or thrice it spirit, filter

ing the solutions; distil off the spirit, boil what remains in
water, to which a little sulphuric acid and animal charcoal have
been added, for a quarter of an hour, and strain. Lastly, the
charcoal being well washed, evaporate the liquors to the consistence of syrup, and add as much solution of ammonia as will
suffice to precipitate the veratria. Wash and dry it. E. directs
the sabadilla seeds to be infused in boiling water, and in 24
hours squeezed and dried; then beaten in a mortar, and the
seeds separated from the capsules by agitation in a deep vessel.
The seeds are then ground, and exhausted by percolation with
rectified spirit, the spirituous solutions concentrated by distillation so long as no deposit forms, and the residuum poured while
hot into 12 volumes of cold water. To the filtered liquor and
washings of the residuum  add excess of ammonia, wash the
precipitate slightly with cold water, and dry it, first by imbibition with filtering paper, and then in a vapour-bath. [The sulphate, tartrate, and other salts of veratria, are obtained in the
same manner as the corresponding salts of morphia.]
VINA.  The medicated wines are prepared in the same manner as
tinctures: they should be made in well-closed vessels, and
macerated without heat.  The L. College in the pharmacopoeia of 1824, substituted a diluted spirit for wine still retaining the name; but the wine (sherryy) was restored in that
of 1836.

ZINCI VALERIANAS.  PRINCE L. L. BONAPARTE.  To valerianic
acid, in a retort, add hydrated oxide of zinc to saturation, and
slowly evaporate the solution; remove the pellicle as it forms
on the surface, dry it, and preserve in a well-corked bottle.
M. BRUN BuISSON directs gxxxij of valerian with lbviij of
water, and,iij of sulphuric acid, to be macerated for 2 days,
and distilled as long  as the product reddens litmus paper.
The distilled water is exposed to the air for a month, after
which it is put into a matrass with 225 grains of recently precipitated oxide of zinc, digested on a sand-bath for 8 or 10
hours at 176~ F., agitating occasionally, filtered hot, evaporated to 3-4ths, and the remainder dried on earthen plates.
M. LEFORT procures the acid by distilling 2 ib of valerian root,
13  lb of water, sulphuric acid 5iij, bichromate of potash 5ij,
after 24 hours' maceration.  Proceed as above. M. MURATORI
obtains it by the mutual decomposition of sulphate of zinc

PREPARATIONS AND COMPOUNDS EMPLOYED AS
COUNTER-POISONS.
ANTIDOTE FOR PRUSSic ACID. Messrs. SMITH, Edinburgh. Prepare persulphate of iron (see Ferrugo, and Ferri Persulphas)
from 4 parts of crystallized sulphate of iron; dissolve the dry
salt, with 3 parts of cryst. sulphate, in 32 parts of water. Dissolve separately, in the same quantity of water, 5 parts of pure
subearbonate of potash.  Label the alkaline solution No. 1, and
the iron solution No. 2.  35rn  of each are sufficient to decompose 100. of the London acid; but it is safer to give it in
excess. f 3ij of No. 1 should be given in a little water, and
the same of No. 2 immediately after.  These solutions should
be kept in readiness, as a short delay renders them unavailing.
As a more ready mode of preparing the antidote, Messrs. Smith
recommend the following.  Dissolve 10 grains of sulphate of
iron in f.j of water, and add f 3j of tincture of muriate (sesquichloride) of iron. In another vial dissolve Dj- of subcarbonate of potash with an ounce or two of water.  Give the
latter as quickly as possible, followed immediately by the
former.
MAGNESIA as an Antidote to White Arsenic (Arsenious Acid).
The necessity of using magnesia, which has not been over-calcined, has been stated before. (See Magnesia, page 202.) But
it may be well to give more particular directions for preparing
it.  M. BussY directs an earthen crucible to be half filled with
carbonate of magnesia, and heated till the bottom becomes obscurely red.  The magnesia is to be constantly stirred as long
as there is an evident escape of gas and vapour.  When this
ceases, a small quantity is diffused in water, and muriatic acid
added. If there is only a trifling disengagement of gas, the
operation may be considered as finished. It may also be made




THE POCKET FORMULARYo                    425
in the moist way.  Dissolve sulphate of magnesia in 25 times
its weight of water.  Dissolve also caustic potash (potassse hydras), equal to half the weight of the salt, in 20 times its
weight of water.  Mix the solutions, collect the precipitate on
a linen cloth, wash it, and press it strongly; or, if wanted for
immediate use, the washing may be dispensed with.  Either
kind should be given diffused in water, half or three-quarters
of an ounce to a pint.  [This antidote has been regarded as
preferable to the hydrated oxide of iron (see Ferrugo); but the
recent investigations of M. Personne seem  to show that the
arsenite of iron is less soluble in the secretions of the stomach
than arsenite of magnesia.  In either case vomiting should be
promoted.  This form of magnesia is also one of the best antidotes in poisoning by acids.]
ANTIDOTES TO METALLIC POISONS.  The salts of mercury, copper, and lead, are decomposed by the hydrated protosulphuret
and persulphuret of iron (see Ferri Protosulphuretum, and
Ferri Persulphuretum  Hydratum, page 135), and the compounds produced are comparatively inert.  DUFLOS proposes
the following mixture as an antidote to the metallic poisons,
including white arsenic.  Saturate 32 ounces of water of ammonia ('970) with sulphuretted hydrogen gas; mix the liquor
with 48 ounces of distilled water, and add a solution of 2 and
a half ounces of protosulphate of iron, in 16 ounces of water.
Close the bottle with bladder, and allow the precipitate to subside; pour off the liquid, and wash the precipitate.  Lastly, 2
and a half ounces of protosulphate of iron dissolved in 16

diffused in a little water, are added to the former precipitate.
ANTIDOTES TO VEGETABLE ALKALOIDS, and substances containing them.  M. BoucTHARDAT has much confidence in the following solution in poisoning by opium, salts of morphia, hemlock, aconite, belladonna, strychnine, colchicum, &c.  In the
case of digitalis, he regards it as useless.  Iodine gr. iij, iodide
of potassium  gr. vj, water 16 ounces.  The stomach having
been emptied, the mixture is to be given by glassfuls, still encouraging the vomiting; and to be followed (in the case of narcotics) by strong infusion of coffee. Dr. GARROD states that
purified animal charcoal (see Carbo Animalis Purificatus)
absorbs and renders inert the active principles of many vegetable poisons.  Ie prescribes it in doses of an ounce or more
diffused in warm water, in poisoning by opium or morphia, nuxvomica or strychnia, belladonna, &c.

WEIGHTS AND  MEASURES.
THE weights and measures now employed in compounding medicines in Great Britain are derived from  the Troy Pounl and the
Imperial Gallon, and are thus divided:

Avoirdupois weight is used in the sale of drugs, but its use in




THE POCKET FORMULARY.                        427
compounding medicines is not sanctioned by any Pharmacopoeia.
But as it is not usual to keep Troy weights of any large size,
their place is supplied by their equivalent Avoirdupois weights,
in compounding officinal preparations.  The following table, from
Dr. Duncan's Edinburgh Dispensatory, will facilitate the required
computation.

[In the Dublin Ph., 1807, the weight of a gallon (old measure)
of water is stated to be 58443 grains; in that of 1826, 58327-5
grains. U. S. estimates it at 58328-8 grains.]
The old gallon is very nearly Aths of the new; the new -ths of
the old.  115500 imperial gallons are exactly equal to 138637
old. The exact factor for converting the old measure into new
is -83311; and for converting new into old 1-20032.

To find the weight of any given measure of a liquid, multiply
the weight of water it will contain by the specific gravity, water
being 1-000.  The weight of a gallon of any liquid, in avoird.
tls and decimal parts, is at once seen from its density, merely removing the decimal point one place to the right. Thus a gallon
of wether at -750 weighs 7-50 (71) lbs.
The medical weights of France were formerly the grain, the
scrpule of 24 grains, the gros of 3 scLruple, the once of 8 gros,
the livre of 16 onces.  After the introduction of the decimal or
metrical system, the value of these weights was modified.  The
livre, formerly equal to 489-5 grammes, was made to correspond
with 500 grammes.  In 1840 the old weights altogether ceased
to be legal. The present weights of France, and their equivalents
in English grains, are:Troy Grains.                  Troy Grains.
Milligramme    =        -0154 Decagranlme   =         154.34

of the LITRE, which is the measure occupied by a kilogramme
(15434 Troy grains) of distilled water at its greatest density. It
is equal to rather more than 35 fluid ounces, or 1-7608 imperial
pints.  44 litres make an imperial gallon, within f 3x.
The unit of the British India ponderary system  is the tola,
equal to 180 Troy grains.  32 tolas are equal to 1bj Troy.  The
maund is equal to 100 Troy ounces.
In the United States of America, the old wine gallon and its
divisions are adopted by the Pharmacopoeia.  The apothecaries'
weights are the same as in this country.

Dr. PEREIRA  quotes from nHufeland a table of doses differing
from the above, of which the following is an abridgment:Years,    25  20  15  12  10   8   6   4   3   2   1
Doses,    40  35  30  27  25  23  21  18  16  13  10

Doses,     9   8   7   6   5   4   2   1
The dose being 40 grains for an adult, the doses for the different
ages will be the number of grains placed under the years and
months; and in the same proportion for other doses.
Dr. YOUNG gives the following simple formula:For children under 12 years the doses of most medicines must
be diminished in the proportion of the age to the age increased by
12. Thus, at 2 years, the dose will be 1-7th of that for an adult,
viz.:2
- 1-7th.
2 +  12
Sex, temperament, constitutional strength, and the habits and
idiosyncrasies of individuals must be taken into account.  Nor
does the same rule apply to all medicines. Calomnel, for instance,
is generally borne better by children  than by  adults; while
Opium affects them more powerfully, and requires the dose to be
diminished considerably below that indicated in the Table.

Ammoniated Tincture of Opium, E.; 11 131 of Wine of Opium,
E.; and  I 16 of D.  [It is probable that the whole of the
active principles of the Opium are not taken up in either the
Tincture, Wine, or Vinegar of Opium; and that, consequently,
the above quantities do not exactly represent one grain of
Crude Opium.  Dr. CHRISTISON says, that f ~j of good Tincture of Opium  should leave, on evaporation, from  17 to 22
grains of extract.]
One grain of Opium  is contained in 36 grains of the L. Confection, in 43 of the E. and 25 of the D. Electuary of Opium; in

THE POCKET FORMULARY.                    435
(about 55 m2) of lJycdrocyamnic Acid, L.; in about 30 grains of
_Hycdrocyanic Acid, E.; and in about 63 grains of Prussic Acid,
D.  [Dr. BARKER states that the Dublin contains 1'5 or 1-6
per cent. of real acid; and Dr. KANE says it is prepared of this
strength at the Apothecaries' Hall of Ireland.  Dr. CHRISTISON, however, asserts that it contains 3 3 per cent. of acid.
Mr. DONOVAN says, 2-5 or 2-8 per cent.; Mr. LAMING, 1-75
to 1-25 per cent.  In the Annals of Pharmacy it is said to
contain 2 per cent.; and the Editor of the "Pharmaceutical
Journal " has shown that the ingredients are capable of yielding an acid of 2-66 per cent.]  SCHEELE'S process yields an
acid of variable strength, and there is no fixed standard to
which it should be adjusted; as sent out by different makers it
contains from 3 to 6 per cent. of real acid, or fiom 1 grain in
33 to 1 in 17.  The acid of the UNITED STATES, AUSTRIAN,
BADEN, HAMBURGH (?), and PRUSSIAN Pharmacopceias is of
the same strength as the London. The Medicinal Prussic Acid
of MAGENDIE and the PARIS CODEX contains 1 grain of acid
in 91 grains, or 10- per cent.  Mr. LAMING'S Acid contains 1
grain in f3j.
Bitter Almond Water is made of various strengths, there being
no standard formula in this country.  In Germany, where it is
prescribed medicinally, the avarage, in 18 examples, was about
4-5ths of a grain of Prussic acid in an ounce, equivalent to
11 44 of the Acidumn Hydrocyanicum dilutum, L.

bottle, and shake it up with ether.  When the ether has separated, remove it with a syringe. Repeat this several times, and
distil the mixed ethereal solutions. From the dry remainder
some brown resin is to be removed by means of water rendered
alkaline by ammonia.  The Absinthine is left.

AcIDuM ACETICUM GLACIALE. D. Acetate of lead, dried in an
oven at about 300~ till it ceases to lose weight, is exposed to
an atmosphere of dry muriatic acid gas, in a flask or retort,
until the whole of the salt appears damp. A Liebig's condenser
being adapted, heat is applied by means of a chloride of zinc
bath, until the whole of the acetic acid has passed over.  The
muriatic acid gas should be slowly disengaged from  the materials directed for Acidum  Muriaticum, using 8 ounces of salt
for every 16 ounces of dry acetate of lead; and before being
conducted into the vessel containing the latter, should be made
to bubble through oil of vitriol, and then passed through a long
tube packed with fragments of fused chloride of calcium. The
sp. gr. is 1'065.

A.CIDUM  IYDROCYANICUM  SCHEELII.  The original process of
Scheele does not yield an acid of uniform strength, and is probably never followed.  It is therefore impossible to state precisely what is intended when Scheele's acid is prescribed, or to
discover the ground on which it is preferred by certain physicians to the preparation of the Pharmacopoeia, which is of a
known and definite strength.  As prepared by different makers
it has been found to contain from 3 to 5 per cent. of real acid.
The following is Scheele's process: Mix,ij of Prussian blue
with 5vj of red precipitate of mercury, and add 3vj of water.
Boil for some minutes, constantly agitating; pour the whole on
a filter, and wash the residuum on the filter with 5ij of hot
water, which is to be added to the filtered liquor. Add to this
~jss of clean iron filings, and 3iij of sulphuric acid, shake well,
and let it settle; then pour the clear liquor into a retort, and
distil a fourth part into a receiver well luted and kept cold.
ACIDUM MURIATICUMI PURUM.  E.  Take equal weights of pure
muriate of soda (see Soda murias purum) well dried, of pure
sulphuric acid, and of water.  Put the salt into a glass retort,
and add the sulphuric acid, previously mixed with a third of
the water, and cooled.  Fit on a receiver containing the rest of
the water. Distil with a gentle heat as long as any acid passes
over, keeping the receiver constantly cool by cold water or
snow.  Density, 1'170.  Dilute f3xliv of oil of vitriol with
fxxxij of water; and when the mixture has cooled, pour it
upon 5xlviij of dried chloride of sodium previously introduced
into a gallon globular flask. A gentle heat being applied, let
the gas be conducted into a bottle containing fgxliv of distilled
water, by means of a tube dipping about half an inch beneath
its surface, and let the process be continued until the product
measures Oiij, keeping the receiver cold.  Sp. gr.'1176.
ACIDUM NITRTCUM FUMANS.  PRUS. PH. Distilled from tbiv of

ACIDUM SULPHURICUM.  Oil of Vitriol. It is made on the large
scale by conveying the vapors produced by the combustion of
sulphur mixed with an eighth part of nitre, into leaden chambers containing a little water: or sulphur is burned alone, and
the vapors from nitre and sulphuric acid also conveyed into the




ADDITIONS.                         447
chamber.  The weak acid thus obtained is concentrated first in
leaden boilers, then in platinum or glass retorts, till its density
is not less than 1840.  It is also obtained from  iron pyrites.
The commercial acid is liable to be contaminated with various
impurities.  The London College does not direct its purification, but requires its density to be 1-843, that it be free from
color and smell, and give no vapors of nitrous acid when mixed
with an equal measure of water.  Diluted with 12 parts of
water, sulphuretted hydrogen should not throw  down a yellow
precipitate. 100 grains require for saturation 285 grains of cr.
carbonate of soda.

which may be obtained at any large distillery by continuing the
distillation for some time after the pure spirit has been all
drawn off, q. p. Introduce it into a small still or retort, connected with a condenser, and apply heat so as to cause distillation.  As soon as the oil begins to come over unmixed with
water, the receiver should be changed, and the distillation being
resumed and carried nearly to dryness, the desired product will
be obtained.  The liquid drawn over during the first part of the
distillation will consist of an aqueous fluid surmounted by a
stratum of fusel oil: the latter should be separated and preserved for use. [Used in preparing Valerianic Acid.]
ALOIN.  Mix powdered Barbadoes aloes with clean sand, and lixiviate it with cold water in a percolator. Evaporate the solution

MAGNESIA CITRAS.  Dissolve citric acid in water, and add to the
hot solution carbonate of magnesia till it ceases to be acted on;
filter the solution while hot, and set aside to crystallize, concentrating it by evaporation, if necessary.  Laxative, rather milder
than the sulphate.  This salt is apt to take the form  of an insoluble hydrate.  DORVAULT says the following method yields
a neutral salt, which forms a permanent solution with 8 or 10
times its weight of water.  Fuse 100 parts of citric acid in its
water of crystallization by heating it in a water-bath, and incorporate with it 29 parts of calcined magnesia.  The pasty product soon hardens, when it should be reduced to powder, and
preserved for use.  Or 64 parts of common carbonate of magnesia may be substituted for the calcined.  [Others recommend
the dry ingredients to be kept mixed, and a portion of it mixed
with water when a solution of the salt is required. Pulverize 14
parts of citric acid, dry it carefully, and gradually add 10 parts
of dry carbonate of magnesia.  When required for use, add it
gradually to the water previously placed in a mortar. M. THEVENOT directs 3 parts of dry citric acid in powder to be mixed
with 1 of calcined magnesia; this is slightly acid.  ROGE'S
purgative consists of calcined magnesia 8 parts, carbonate of
magnesia 4, dry citric acid 26, sugar (aromatized with lemon)
50 parts.  See Liquor Magnesie Citratis.]

SPIRITUS.  Spirits.  Under this head are placed distilled spirits,
simple and compound; with a few alcoholic solutions, and ethereal spirits. In preparing the distilled spirits, the seeds, &c.,
are to be bruised; the E. P. and other Ph. direct previous maceration for two or more days.  D. now substitutes for most of
the distilled spirits, solutions of 1 part of essential oil in 9 of
rectified spirit.  See ESSENTIA.  [The spirit which forms the
basis of these compounds is not prepared by pharmacists, but
is a separate branch of manufacture.  The Colleges, however,
have indicated, by their densities, the strength of the spirits to
be employed.  The following table shows the specific gravity of
the spirits used in the following compounds:]

bottle, and strain. Dose, f3ss to f3j.
SPTRITUS ETHEREUS NITROSUS.  D. Put f.vj of rectified spirit
in a quart matrass, and connect this with a Liebig's condenser,
whose further extremity is fitted loosely by a collar of tow into
a thin 8-ounce phial.  Add f~j of water to fhiij of pure nitric
acid, and having introduced half the mixture into the matrass
through a siphon safety-tube, close the mouth of this tube with
a cork, and apply for a few  moments a gentle heat, so as to
cause a commencement of ebullition.  When the action produced has relaxed, introduce gradually. the rest of the acid, so
as to restore it.  The action having ceased, agitate the distilled
product with half its bulk of solution of ammonia, allow the
mixture to rest for a few minutes, and having separated the supernatant ethereal liquid, mix f~iv of it with Oij f~ij of rectified
spirit, and preserve it in small strong and accurately stopped
bottles.  The condenser should be fed with ice-cold water, and
the phial surrounded by a mixture of 1 part of salt and 2 of
pounded ice; or with a mixture of 8 parts sulphate of soda in
small crystals, and 5 of muriatic acid.  [The following process,
founded on that of LIEBIG, is recommended by Mr. JAMES
GRANT, in the Pharmaceutical Journal.  Mix 3ij of powdered
starch with f~j of rectified spirit in a glass flask; to these add
f.j of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1'36), apply a gentle heat if necessary, until slight effervescence takes place, and pass the disengaged nitrous sether first into a washing bottle, then into fbix
of rectified spirit.  It is desirable to ascertain whether the product be free from  prussic acid, with which Liebig's nitrous
aether is said to be contaminated.  See page 23.]
SPIRITUS EITHEREUS OLEOSUS.  Do  Mix Oiss of oil of vitriol
with Oj of rectified spirit, in a glass matrass; connect this with
a Liebig's condenser, apply heat, and distil till a black froth
begins to rise.  Separate the uppermost stratum of the distilled
liquid, and having exposed it to the air for 24 hours, let the oil
be transferred to a moist paper filter, and washed with a little
cold water.  Dissolve it in Oss of rectified spirit, mixed with

it with a Liebig's condenser, and chloride of zinc bath, until
the product amounts to 72 fl. ounces (sp. gr.'818).
SPIRITUS PYROXYLICUS.  Wood Spirit.  When the acid liquor
obtained by the dry distillation of wood (beech or birch), after
separating the tar, is distilled, the first portions which come
over are chiefly wood spirit, which is rectified by one or more
distillations. It is further purified by redistilling it over lime.
D. states its sp. gr. to be -846, but it may be obtained as low
as.813.  The purest kinds of pyroxylic spirit constitute Dr.

TJNCTURA FERRI AMMONIO-CHLORIDI. L.  Tinc. Ferri Amnmo

obvious error.  The College, in adding Oj of water to the
previous tincture, has neglected to increase the quantity of ammonio-chloride. That the tincture was intended to be of the
same strength as before is plain from the note-that  f f j yields,
potash being added, 5-8 grains of sesquioxide of iron." It is

triturating it with a portion of old mercurial ointment, as recommended by Mr. HIGGINBOTTOM of Northampton, in 1814,
and as adopted in the last edition of the Prussian Pharmacopceia; or otherwise by employing lard which has been long exposed in a finely divided state to the action of the air. See
