Introductory
THE PHARMACOPEIA. — The Pharmacopeia is a book
fixing standards for the identity, purity, strength and
quality, and giving directions for the preparation, valu-
ation, compounding and preservation, of drugs, chemi-
cals, medicinal substances and their preparations. Orig-
inally compiled in 1820 by a convention of physicians,
it is revised decennially by a Committee on Revision
composed of chemists, pharmacognosists, pharmacists
and physicians elected by a convention, which meets
each decennium in Washington, and which includes dele-
gates from medical and pharmaceutical societies and
colleges and from the medical departments of the Army,
the Xavy and the Public Health and Marine-Hospital
Service. While the United States Pharmacopeia has
been the legal standard for drugs through pharmacy
acts in a few individual states, it did not become a
legal standard for the United States until January,
1007, at which time the Food and Drugs Act went into
effect,
XATIOXAL FORMULARY. — There are many preparations
extensively employed, which, from their more or less
ephemeral or polypharmacal character, are not admit-
ted to the U. S. Pharmacopeia. They include many
solutions, elixirs, syrups, mixtures and pills. The same
confusion in strength and consequently in dosage which
attached to official medicines before the adoption of
pharmacopeias applied also to these various mixtures.
Thus preparations of potent substances such as elixirs
of strychnin, solutions of arsenic, syrups of morphin,
etc., varied in strength as made by different manufac-
turers, until in 1887 the National Formulary was is-
sued by the American Pharmaceutical Association.
This work contains nearly 500 formulas for chemical
and pharmaceutical preparations and had largely super-
seded private formularies until the third edition (1906)
v.us made a legal standard through the National Food
and Drugs Act. The National Formulary now assures
iv INTRODUCTORY.
the same uniformity in these preparations as does the
Pharmacopeia and affords physicians the safeguard that
preparations made after its formulas will be the same
throughout the United States.
While the preparations of the X. F. are mostly sug-
gested by the formulas of physicians, there are also a
number of formulas for preparations similar to the ad-
vertised proprietary medicines. While, for obvious rea-
sons, these are not always identical in appearance or
flavor with the proprietarv article, they are equal, if
not superior, to the particular proprietary medicine they
are intended to replace. They have the advantage of
non-secrecy and uniformity of composition.
The present work is intended to supply physicians
with a convenient reference to the official preparations
of various remedies. Reference to the name of any
drug will show at a glance the preparations which
may be prescribed; further information regarding
strength and composition of the preparations is fur-
nished under the special titles. It is suggested that
prescription of these preparations by their Latin titles
will often avoid lay criticism and also greatly reduce if
not prevent the use of such medicines by the public for
self-medication.
A therapeutic index has been devised for the purpose
of giving a comparative view of the resources of the
official remedies. This is not intended as a complete
guide to treatment nor as an exhaustive list of remedies
for various diseases, but to present such a selection
and classification of remedies as will be helpful and
suggestive as an aid to extemporaneous and emergency
prescriptions.
\Yhile the objection may be justly raised that the
Pharmacopeia contains remedies that might be termed
obsolete and the National Formulary includes formulas
which in the judgment of many might well be omitted,
it has been deemed wisest to retain them all as repre-
senting the best effort of the representatives of the
united professions of medicine and pharmacy. The wis-
dom of this course is the more apparent when wye re-
member that experience shows that half-forgotten
remedies are sometimes revived, and it is well to hold
INTRODUCTORY. V
fast to the old remedies Avhich have served past gen-
erations, while making fair trial of more recent ones.
It is probably unnecessary to say that one of the
reasons for the publication of this manual, containing
in a compact and cheap form a list of official and
National Formulary preparations, is to supply physi-
cians with information regarding preparations that can
be used in place of the vast number of proprietary
medicines now on the market, the great majority of
which are typical nostrums. Proprietary medicines are
not necessarily objectionable, per sc. especially if the
proprietorship is controlled by a patent, for such medi-
cines become free when the patent expires, as in the
ease of such chemicals at antipyrin, salol, phenacetin
(acetphenetidin) . sulphonal (sulphomethanum ) . trional
(sulphonethylmethanum ) . etc. Originality and scien-
tific research in their production were rewarded for a
limited period through the patent laws, after which
they became common property. Most of the proprietary
medicines, however, are simple mixtures and show no
originality and, therefore, can not be patented. These
are controlled by trade-marked names. They are usu-
ally secret in composition or, if the formula is given, it
is often fictitious or deceptive, and is sometimes changed
to suit the whims of the manufacturer. There are,
however, mixtures, proprietary in character, that are
•ret and which may possess properties which rec-
ommend them to physicians. To differentiate those
preparations that are true to name and that are
hone-'.tly manufactured and exploited, the American
Medical Association, through its Council on Pharmacy
and Chemistry, issues a book known as "Xcw and Xon-
Oflicial Remedies." This names and describes such
medicinal ariicK-s. chemicals and preparations not com-
piled in the V. S, P. or X. F.. and this book, combined
with the Physicians' Manual of the V. S. P. and X. F.,
furni>hes physicians with information about practically
every medicine, proprietary and otherwise, which they
will find it necessary to use.
Pharmacopeia articles are in black-faced capitals,
while those of the National Formulary are in black-
faced small letters. For instance. BISMUTHI CITRAS

is official in the Pharmacopeia, while Bismuth! Oxidum
Hydratum is a National Formulary article.
The Dosage throughout is the average adult dose as
given in the U. S. P. and the X. F. and as such implies
the range customary in practice.
Common names of drugs appear in the list of syno-
nyms, so that the reader who fails to remember the
official title can find it under the common name.

Caffeinae gr. iii |2
Sodii bromidi 311 81
Alcoholis 3i 4|
Elixir aromatici, q. s. ft 3iii 100 1
Average dose 5 c.c., or 1 teaspoonful. If 20 c.c. of
tincture of cardamon be added to this, or if adjuvant
elixir (which is also official), be used instead of the
aromatic, the appearance of the mixture will be much
enhanced and the psychical effect increased.
CAUTION. — Acetanilide is the chief constituent in many
proprietary articles and in the popular Headache Reme-
dies. It often produces untoward, effects manifested
through cyanosis and general debility, and should there-
fore be used with care and since it is liable to cause
habit its continued use should always be discouraged.

EMULSA— EMULSIONS
Emulsions are liquid preparations consisting of oily,
fatty, resinous, or otherwise insoluble substances sus-
pended in watery liquids by the intervention of gum,
mucilage or other viscid material called emulsifying
agents, Natural emulsions comprise products of animal
or vegetable origin, consisting of oily or resinous sub-
stances so combined with gum or albumin as to be read-
ily miscible with water without separation. Milk and
egg yolk are such typical emulsions, and seeds and
gum resins form emulsions when triturated with water.
Artificial emulsions are made by thoroughly mixing the
oil with the emulsifying agent, adding a certain pro-
portion of water and triturating the mixture in a mor-
tar, or agitating it in a flask. Volatile oils require the
addition of a fixed oil to produce a stable emulsion.
Water-insoluble substances: Salicylic acid, chloroform,
salol, etc.. may be emulsified in the same way as oil of
turpentine.
Flavoring. — Since no single or compound aromatic can
be devised which would be acceptable under all circum-
stances as a flavoring for emulsion of cod liver oil. tbe
selection of tbe most suitable aromatic must be left to
the prescribe!- or dispenser. Among those which are
found to be most serviceable are the following, the quan-
tities given below intended for 1000 Cc. (or 32 fl. oz)
of finished emulsion, though in some cases a smaller or
a larger quantity, in the same proportions, may be pre-
ferable :

I'n-Ncrration. — When an emulsion of cod liver oil is
to be kept for some time, its deterioration may be pre-
vented or retarded by the addition of 6r> Co. (or 2 fl. oz.)
of alcohol in the place of the same quantity of water,
when making 1000 (V. (or .°,2 fl. oz.) of emulsion.

Emulsum Petrolei — Petroleum Emulsion. X. E. — Con-
taining 5 per cent, white petrolatum, U. S.
Dose: 10 Cc., or 4 fluidram s.
This preparation differs from the commercial so-called
petroleum emulsions only in that it is really what it
represents to be : an emulsion of the almost odorless
and practically tasteless petrolatum, while the commer-
"ial emulsions being substantially the same, pretend to
be emulsions of the crude natural petroleum and their
therapeutic claims are based on the longtime belief in
the virtues of crude petroleum in many forms of
chronic disease. Tt being impracticable to so disguise
the foul odor and disagreeable taste of the crude pe-
troleum as to make it acceptable to the stomach, es-
pecially to chronic invalids, that they may continue tak-
ing the preparation, refined petroleum was substituted
by manufacturers. Since petrolatum is chemically par-
affin, absolutely inert and indigestible, these preparations
can have no possible properties other than those of a
protective and lubricant. The claim that these prepara-
tions are nutritive, "cure consumption," etc., is entirely
unwarranted.

EXTRACTA— EXTRACTS (SOLID EXTRACTS).
The soluble principles of drugs extracted with various
menstrua, i. e., alcohol or water, or mixtures of these,
sometimes by the addition of alkali or acid, concentrated
by evaporation either to a soft solid of pilular con-
sistence, or reduced to a powder with or without addi-
tion of a diluent such as sugar of milk or pulverized
glycyrrhiza. The percentage yield of extract varies con-
siderably, from different drugs with a corresponding
variation in the proportionate amount of drug the re-
spective extracts represent. The majority are four
times the strength of the drug; consequently their dos-
age is one-fourth that of the drug. The extracts of the
alkaloidal drugs are mostly fixed by assay, as indicate'!.
The pilular extracts are best adapted for pill masses,
and external preparations: ointments, suppositories,
plasters, etc. The powdered extracts for admixtures
with powders, although they are also adapted for masses
and pills. The extracts of cimcifuga. euonymus and lep-
tandra will be found equal in therapeutic activity to the
respective "resinoids" or "concentrations."

IRON COMPOUNDS.
Iron forms two series of compounds: (1) Ferrous,
usually greenish in color, and (2) ferric, usually reddish
brown in color.
With exception of the carbonate, the hydroxide (hy-
drate) and the hypophosphke, they are all very soluble
in water: they are insoluble in alcohol. The so-called
scaled salts are all ferric compounds of phosphoric acid,
or the organic acids, citric and tartaric: they are ren-
dered more soluble in combination with the citrates,
tart rates and phosphates of the respective alkalies: am-

COMPOUNDS OF MERCURY.
Mercury forms two series of compounds which are not
distinguished in the Latin titles as they are in their
English titles:
1. Mercuroj/s, sparingly soluble and less active, and
2. MercunV, more readily soluble in water and alcohol
and so irritant as to be classed with the poisons.
Poison. — Antidote: Albumen, egg white, milk.
PROPERTIES. — The jncrcurouH compounds, of which the
chloride (calomel) is a type, powerfully stimulate the
glandular system and are antiseptic and alterative. The
ii/rrciiric compounds, of which the chloride (corrosive
sublimate) is a type, are potent alteratives and powerful
antiseptics and germicides. They may easily be distin-
guished by the different coloration produced with liquor
calcis (lime Mater). See Lotio Flava and Lotio Nigra,

LIQUORES— SOLUTIONS. (Sohitio-nes.)
The official solutions are solutions in water of non-
volatile substances (chemical salts), with two excep-
tions (Liq. Chlori. Comp.; Liq. Fonnaldehy di ) . Those
for internal medicinal use are prepared mostly by
volume, that is, the medicinal agent by weight in certain
volume or measure of the solution. Those for external
use and solutions from which other preparations are
made, such as the iron solutions, are of a certain per-
centage by weight strength, expressed simply by per
cent., i. e., Liq. Formaldehydi, 37 per cent.
The method employed in preparing percentage solu-
tions extemporaneously is by measure, unless otherwise
directed. When water is the solvent, except in concen-
trated solutions of high specific gravities, such as, the
official solutions of the metallic salts, the difference in
weight and volume may be ignored, but the percentage
must be based on the weight of a pint of water (7,292
grains) or the weight of a fluid ounce of water (455
grains), and not on 7,000 grains equivalent to one avoir-
dupois pound; nor 480 grains in the apothecaries' ounce
or 480 minims in one fluid ounce.
The fluid ounce (of water) weighing 455 grains but
containing 480 minims, shows why a minim is net a
grain, but 0.95 grain.
The method of calculating the percentage solutions on
the fluid ounce is therefore based on 455, thus :
1 fluid ounce Solution Mornhin Sulph 4 per cent :
455 x .04 = 18.20 grs.
1 pint Mercuric Chloride Solution 0.2 per cent. : 7,292
x .002 = 14.6 grs.
The advantages of the metric system are here ap-
parent :
10 Cc. Solution Morphine Sulph. 4 per cent : 10 x
0.04 = 0.4 Gm.
1.000 Cc. Solution Mercuric Chloride 0.2 per cent:
1.000 x .002 = 2 Gm.

LITHIUM COMPOUNDS.
According to the best authorities the uric acid theory
is a delusion. The generally accepted belief that the
salts of lithium, citrates, etc., would eliminate uric acid
by combining with it to form soluble urates, has caused
the manufacture of endless combinations of lithium and
other alkali salts. The medical profession is being ex-
ploited by numerous of these combinations under fancy

fceniculi, limonis, etc.
Uses: Diluent, corrigent or adjuvant to nauseous
or potent substances, in powder or other dosage form,

OLEA— OILS.
Under the generic title Oleum (Olea) is comprised
both fixed and volatile oils, without distinction. The
better to serve therapeutic purposes the two entirely
different classes of oils are here separated, each under
its own alphabetic arrangement. The general physical
and pharmaceutical properties of each of these classes
are also noted under each respective heading.
102 MANUAL OF PHARMACOPEIA.
Olea Pingua— Fixed Oils or Fats.
Neutral principles of vegetable or animal derivation,
chemically salts or compounds of an acid such as oleic
or stearic, with the radical glyceryl. Alkalies decompose
the oils, combine with the acids forming their respective
salts, oleates or soaps; the glyceryl radical is set free
and forms glycerin as a by-product. This constitutes
the process of saponification and occurs in the prepara-
tion of some liniments, i. e., Linimentum Ammonias.
The oils are practically insoluble in water; do not mix
with watery solutions, except to form Emulsions
through the use of emulsifying agents, and this is, there-
fore, the most eligible method for their internal admin-
istration. For typical formulas see "E'mulsa." The oils
are also practically insoluble in alcohol, but readily solu-
ble in all other solvents: ether, chloroform, benzin and
volatile oils.
Uses: Demulcent in the form of emulsion, nutri-
tive and adjunct in antidote for poisoning; externally
chiefly as vehicles for ointments, etc.; special proper-
ties are noticed under the respective oils.

Uses: Alterative tonic, nutrient.
Emulsions should be prepared as wanted. Those
enumerated, if carefully prepared from a fresh, sweet,
oil, will prove more satisfactory than any trade article.
Cod liver oil owes its therapeutic value to the fact that
it is a most easily assimilated fat ; preparations of cod
liver oil represented to be fat-free are, therefore, of no
nutritive value.
Dose: 16 Cc., or 4 fluidrams.
Emulsum Olei Morrhuae, U. S. — Dose: 8 Cc., or 2

Olea Volatilia— Volatile Oils (Essential).
The volatile or ethereal oils are principles derived
from plants and comprise neutral principles, aldehydes,
ketones, pnenols or compounds of an acid with a radical,
such as methyl acetate; compound ethers or esters. The
esters are decomposed by alkalies; salicylic acid being
thus derived from oil of gaultheria; most of the others
are not affected by alkalies, nor by acids, except the ter-
penes, of which oil of turpentine is the type. These
react wyith strong acids, especially nitric and sulphuric
acids, fulminate or explode. The volatile oils are prac-
tically insoluble in water, except the so-called oxygen-

ated group, comprising those employed as flavors and
represented in saturated solutions in the aromatic
waters. See "Aquae Medicatae." They are readily solu-
ble in alcohol and the Spirits or "essences" are the most
common form of their employment together with the
elixirs. They are readily soluble in the other solvents,
ether, chloroform, benzin and in fixed oils, which may
be used as media for preparing Emulsions of them. See
"Emulsum Olei Terebinthinae." They may be presented
in dosage form in gelatin capsules. See "Capsulae."

PILULJE— PILLS.
Pills are round, oval or ovoid forms of medicinal sub-
stances, massed by the aid of judiciously selected excipi-
ents, and weighing not less than 0.06 Gm. (1 gr.), nor
more than 0.5 Gm. (8 gr.). If they weigh less than 0.06
Gm. (1 gr.), and more than 0.02 Gm. (1/3 gr.), they
are known as "Granules"; if below the latter in weight,
they are usually designated as "Parvules."
In their simplest form, pills are prepared as required,
and dispensed with sufficient dusting powder to prevent
them from adhering while moist; but if they are pre-
pared for stock, or if it is desirable to mask their taste,
or for other reasons, they may be coated with some suit-
able substance that will readily dissolve or disintegrate
in the juices of the stomach (sugar, gelatin, chocolate,
tolu, silver). Sometimes it is desirable to coat the pills
with a material which, while insoluble in the acid con-
tents of the stomac^ (salol, keratin, etc.) dissolves read-
ily in the alkaline fluids of the intestines. Such are
called "Enteric Pills." When pills are desired coated, the
especial coating should be designated. The choice of
excipient is usually left to the pharmacist.
Pills may be ordered in this simple form :

In liquid mixtures with salts of alkaloids chemical
interaction occurs, with the formation of bromide of
the alkaloid, which, being insoluble in watery liquids,
precipitates, thus making the preparation dangerous
to use. This may be prevented by using aromatic
elixir or other alcoholic liquid for a vehicle since the
alkaloidal bromide is soluble, in 25 per cent, alcohol,

PULVERES— 1-OWDERS.
Mixtures of medicinal substances, sometimes with a
diluent, such as sugar of milk, triturated to an impalpa-
ble powder. (See Triturationes.) Powders for internal
administration are usually prescribed in some dosage
form. For external application they are called dusting
or insufflation powders.
Divided in the prescribed doses, powders may be dis-
pensed enwrapped in paper, enclosed in capsules, or
formed into tablets, according to requirements and the
direction of the prescriber, in either of the following
forms :
1. Pulrcrcs in ChnrlnUn — Powders in Papers. — Pow-
ders or trituratlons accurately divided in doses, hi/
ircii/Jiin;/. enwrapped in paper. If deliquescent or vola-
tile, parchment or paraffin paper should be used and the
powder dispensed in air-tight containers.
2. Pulvcres in C<i/i*nliM Anii/hiccis — Powders in Starch
Capsules. Cachets or Wafers'. — Powders or trituratlons
accurately divided. 7>y/ ircn/hlnn. and enclosed in capsules
(or cachets) prepared from starch paste, pressed into
concentric forms and dried — the two forms composing
the capsule (or cachet) to be very carefully sealed or
cemented together.
(Directions for taking: The capsule is immersed in
water for a few seconds, then taken in the mouth and
swallowed with a little water).
3. Pulrerex in CV//y.s-»//.s Gclatini — Powders in Gelatin
Capsules.— Powders or trituratlons accurately divided,
l>i/ ir<i<iiii)ui, and filled into hard capsules of gelatin.
(If desirable., these may be used for oily liquids and
the capsules be hermetically sealed.)
4. Pulveres in Tablettis (Tnblcttcp Orales) — Tablet
Triturates. — Triturations of medicinal substances with
milk sugar as diluent, made into a paste with alcohol
AND NATIONAL FORMULARY. 125
of greater or less strength, depending on the nature of
the medicinal ingredient and formed into disks, usually
not exceeding 0.1 Gm. (1% grains) in weight, by press-
ing the mass into molds of hard rubber or suitable
metal and exposing the moist disks to the air so that
the alcohol may be completely volatilized spontaneously.
Pulveres Effervescentes — Effervescent Powders.
Those are most conveniently and efficiently dispensed in
the form of fine poirdcrs, because in this condition they
can be made extemporaneously and with an assurance of
their freshness and efficiency. Granular effervescent pow-
ders require certain modifications of the formulas. Ef-
fervescent powders are composed of the medicinal agent
in admixture with an alkaline bicarbonate, an organic
aeid and sugar. The proportion of the medicinal agent is
dependent on its dose; that of the alkaline bicarbonate
and of the organic acid is dependent on their molecular
relation to each other; while the proportion of sugar is
dependent on the quantity necessary as a sweetening
agent and diluent.
FORMULA A. FINE POWDER.
Medicinal agent, in fine powder 50 parts
Saccharated sodium bicarbonate (N. P.).. 475 parts
Saccharated tartaric acid (N. F.) 475 parts
FORMULA B. GRANULAR POWDER.

Its solution in water is easily effected by addition of
a little dilute sulphuric acid or aromatic sulphuric
acid, which converts the sulphate into the very much
more soluble bisulphate, which see. The intensely bitter
taste is, however, thereby developed, hence it is prefer-
able to prepare quinine sulphate in liquid form by sus-
pending it in syrup glycyrrhlzae, elixir glycyrrhizse or
elixir adjuvans, or the fluidextract glycyrrhiza may b^
added to other liquids desired.

SUPPOSITORIA— SUPPOSITORIES.
Mixtures of medicinal substances and a vechicle, of
solid consistence but quickly melting when introduced
148 MANUAL OF PHARMACOPEIA
in any of the orifices of the human body for which they
are intended. The vehicle may consist of a fat — oil of
theobroma (cacao fat), or soap, as in the only official
suppositories (glycerin) when intended for rectal use,
and ,!>•! yccr ina ted gelatin when desired for urethral and
vagina! use. Suppositories should simulate ointments or
cerates in that the medicinal agent should he most thor-
oughly and accurately incorporated with the vehicle,
hence the absurdity of the so-called ''hollow supposi-
tories," consisting of shells of cacao fat into which the
medicinal agent is to be put.
The U. S. P. describes suppositories according to their
shapes and weights as follows:
RECTAL. — Should be cone-shaped or spindle-shaped and
when made from oil of theobroma should weigh 2 (1m..
or 30 grains.
I'RKTHRAL (Bougies). — Should be pencil-shaped,
pointed at one extremity, and either short: 7 Cm. 24/5
inches) in length, weighing about 2 Gm.. or 30 grains, or
long 14 Cm. (5 3/5 inches) in length and weighing 4 Gm.,
or 60 grains when made with glycerinated gelatin. If
prepared with oil of theobroma they should be about
one-half these weights.
VAGINAL (Globules). — Should be globular or oviform
and weigh about 10 Gm., or 150 grains, if made with
glycerinated gelatin, and about 4 Gm., or GO grains, if
made with oil of theobroma.
Suppositories are prepared according to the following
general formula:
Take of:
The medicinal substance, the required </iui>ili(i/.
Oil Theobroma, sufficient.
The quantity of the vehicle '(Olei Theobromatis)
usually required is calculated on 2 Gm., or 30 grains,
for each suppository, thus:
IJ. Extracti belladonnas folii gr. iii |2
Acidi tannici gr. xv 1
Olei theobromatis gr. ccclx 24 1
Vel q. s. ut fiant suppositoria rectalia No. xii.
The mixture may be melted and poured into chilled
molds, or, as in the above, preferably made into an
ointment-like mass and formed by pressing into molds
bv means of a screw press or other mechanical device.
Suppositories with glycerinated gelatin are prepared
according to the following formula:
Take of:
The medicinal substance, the required quantity.
Glycerinated Gelatin, sufficient.
AXD XATIOXAL FORMULARY. 149
The quantity of the vehicle is calculated as in the
preceding example, except that only one-half as much
as the total weight of the suppositories is required:
IJ. Glyceriti boroglycerini
Gelatini glycerinati, (jiianluin sufficiat.
Fiant suppositoria vaginalia Xo. vi.
Should the medicinal agent be insoluble, it is levigated
with as much glycerin as may be required to make the
weight of this mixture one-half that of the supposi-
tories, which is then incorporated with the glycerinated
gelatin, previously -melted, and then poured into molds,
thus :
' R. lodoformi gr. xv 1|
Glycerini gr. cxl 91
Gelatini glycerinati gr. clx 10J
Fiant suppositoria urethralia (7 Cm.) Xo. x.
Water soluble substances : zinc sulphate, morphine sul-
phate, etc., may be dissolved in water instead of
glycerin and the solution incorporated with the melted
glycerinated gelatin. Should a firmer consistence be de-
sired part of the water may be replaced by mucilage of
acacia.

or sparingly soluble, substances, such as calomel, alka-
loids and their salts, intended for internal administra-
tion, whose efficiency is thereby enhanced. It possesses
also pharmaceutical advantages in facilitating more ac-
curate weighing and more readily complete admixture
of small quantities of potent substances. Unless other-
wise directed, triturations contain 10 per cent, of the
medicinal substance and are prepared according to the
general formula:

Sec Tabletta Orales : Pulveres.
TROCHISCI— TROCEHS ( Lozenges )
Mix! ure of medicinal substances made into a soft
paste, or confection, with a saccharine flavored vehicle,
divided into dosage forms and dried. This form of prep-
aration is chiefly adapted to astringent, antacid, anti-
septic and demulcent drugs of which local continued
effect is desired in the mouth and throat. When allowed
slowly to dissolve in the mouth, a viscid vehicle is
formed through which otherwise insoluble substances are
brought into contact with the mucous surfaces in the
most favorable condition for therapeutic action. Only
troches made according to the official formulas being
prepared from a mass, possess this quality, those made
by compression of powders as ordinarily found in the
market are not homogeneous, do not distinegrate uni-
formly and thus often produce irritation, instead of al-
leviation, of the affected parts.

UNGUENTA— OINTMENTS.
Scmisolid mixtures of fats and oils, sometime wax,
lanolin and petrolatum, with which medicinal agents usu-
ally are intimately incorporated, for external use. In-
tended to be applied by inunction, ointments should read-
ily melt at the body temperature. The character of the
vehicle is determined by the general therapeutic purpose,
whether penetration by the ointment and absorption of
the medicinal agent, or, only local or protective effect U
desired. Of the various fats employed petrolatum does
not penetrate the skin, while lanolin penetrates so read-
ily that iodine or mercury may be conveyed by it
through the skin, that their presence may be detected
in the urine, shortly after inunction of such lanolin
ointment. Between these two extremes are the vege-
table and animal fats and oils which penetrate into the
skin, thus cause such action as may be desired of the
particular medicinal agent.
Since animal and vegetable fats and oils easily become
rancid and also are affected by chemical agents, such as the
mercurials, the vehicle for these ointments is chiefly a mix-
ture of equal parts of petrolatum and lanolin, which has the
penetrating quality desired, but is immune from the effects
of chemical agents, as well as effects of the light and at-
mosphere, and these ointments thus prepared according to
the official formulas will remain stable and fit for use.

INFECTION, IMMUNITY AND SERUM
THERAPY
By H. T. RICKETTS, M.D.
It is highly necessary for the modern physician to under-
stand the principles of these comparatively new subjects in
medicine. This volume is a conspectus of the whole field,
in which the complicated terminology of the subject is made
clear, the various theories are considered in detail and their
practical application explained. The author presents facts.
Part one presents a discussion of the general consideration
of the principles of natural and acquired immunity, toxin
and antitoxin formation, phagocytosis, agglutination, etc.
In the second part the application of these considerations to
special diseases is outlined and separate chapters are given
to each of the infectious disorders, including diseases of
doubtful etiology.
600pp. Cloth. Illustrated. Price, $2.00.
THE PHARMACOPEIA AND THE
PHYSICIAN
This digest of the U. S. Pharmacopeia is published to
make the contents of that book more instructive and inter-
esting to the physician. The indications for the use of
individual preparations in certain forms of diseased condi-
tions are pointed out. The drugs are classified according to
their pharmacologic action and one long instructive chap-
ter is devoted to a thorough discussion of anesthesia and
anesthetics. Throughout the book specimen prescriptions
are given as examples of the best combination and form in
which the drug can be dispensed. The physician who gives
this book thorough study will have his knowledge of pre-
scribing greatly broadened and will be aided to prescribe
official remedies with precision, accuracy and confidence.
450pp. Cloth. Trice, $1.00.
