Wine of Cinchona, — T. D. G., In- 

 diana, asks for a recipe for a well-known 

 French proprietary wine of cinchona. 

 Turning to Hager's Handbuch der Phar- 

 miaceutischen Praxis and also to Hahn- 

 Holfert-Arend's Spezialitaten und Ge- 



heimmittel, we find that both books state 

 that the proprietary in question is a good 

 cinchona wine in which i per cent, ot 

 iron-ammonium citro-pyrophosphate is 

 dissolved. The Standard Formulary 

 gives more specific information in the 

 following recipe : 



Red cinchona bark i ounce 



Sherry wine 20 ounces 



Diluted alcohol 10 ounces 



Sugar 16 ounces 



Soluble iron phosphate 



(scales) 262 grain* 

 Water enough. 



Infuse the cinchona in enough water 



to make 10 ounces. In this dissolve the 



iron salt and add the other ingredients 



and filter after several days.
