DIFFICULT DISPENSING OF OILY SUBSTANCES.* 



By J. Leon Lascoff, New York. 

 (^Continued.) 



3^ 9. Eiiresolis (Knoll) 3.0 



Calamini praep 6.0 



Zinci Oxidi 9.0 



Amyli 12.0 



01. Olivar 15.0 



Magnesiae Lactis (Phillips) 



This prescription was sent to me by Mr. H. A. Vogt, a pharma- 

 cist who found some difficulty. I tried same according to his de- 

 scription of the method he used in dispensing it and found it satis- 

 factory. The following is the method : 



Saponify olive oil, euresol with milk magnesia. Rub up with 

 starch zinc oxide and calamini then q. s. rose water. 



^ 10. Camphorae 0.2 



Mentholis 0.3 



01. Pini Pumilionis 2.0 



Milk Magnesia q. s. Ad 60.0 



Rub up the camphor in a glass mortar with the menthol and ol. 

 pini pumilionis, then saponify same with the milk magnesia and it 

 will then form a nice uniform mixture and the camphor as well as 

 the menthol will be in suspension. No acacia is necessary in this 

 case, in spite of the fact that I have known it to have been used. 



3^ II. Ext. Aloes ^ gi'- 



Podophyllini M gi'- 



Cascarini 34 gr. 



01. Carui i M. 



D. t. D. Pill No. 24. 



In this prescription you will notice that a M. of the ol. carui is 

 prescribed per dose. Some pharmacists use extract of licorice as 

 an excipient but it is far better to emulcify the oil with a littl'j 

 acacia and then add the other ingredients and it will form a nice 

 mass where the oil will not be separated.
