0.5 to r gram per day, and children under 

 two years of age were given teaspoon ful 

 doses every two hours of a mixture of 

 acacia containing from 1.5 to 2.5 grams 

 of bismutan in joo grams. No disagree- 

 able by-effects were observed during its 

 use. 



Bismuth Oxybromide — Useful in dys- 

 pepsia, associated with nervous derange- 

 ments, gastric pain and vomiting. 



Bismuth Oxylodopyrogallate — A fine, 

 amorphous, yellowish-red powder, insol- 

 uble in water and the usual solvents, and 

 permanent in air and light. It is recom- 

 mended as a powerful surgical antiseptic, 

 not so readily decomposed by water as 

 the other bismuth preparations hereto- 

 fore in use as wound-cicatrizants. 



Bismuth Sulphocarbolate — Used in ir- 

 ritative dyspepsia, and in fever with 

 offensive breath. 



Boro-Formalin — Antiseptic decordant 

 and prophylactic. 



Borol — Not to be confounded with bo- 

 ral. Internal antiseptic in croupous 

 bronchitis, septicaemia, erysipelas, etc., 

 and externally in psoriasis, ozena, burns, 

 etc. Dose : 10 to 20 drops for children, 

 and 30 to 50 drops for adults, of a 20 per 

 cent, aqueous solution. 



Brenzcain — Pyrocatechinmethylben- 

 zylether, guaiacolbenzyl ether. Occurs in 

 the forms of colorless crystals, soluble in 

 alcohol and in ether, and melting at 62 

 C. This preparation has been introduced 

 as a succedaneum for guaiacol. It is said 

 to be free, not only from the caustic ac- 

 tion that guaiacol exerts on mucous mem- 

 branes, but also from the other drawbacks 

 of the latter, while possessing all its ad- 

 vantages ; for producing local anaesthesia 

 by cataphoresis in dentistry. Investiga- 

 tions are now under way to determine to 

 what extent brenzcain may replace guaia- 

 col and its compounds in tuberculosis. 

 Brenzcain dissolves best in vasogen, and 

 in such solution it may be exhibited like 

 the other guaiacol compounds and in 

 similar doses. 



Bromalbumin — Bromine compound of 

 albumin. 



Bromo-anilm - See serosine. 



Bromopin and Iodopin — The bromine 

 and iodine addition products of sesame 

 oils named "bromopin " and "iodopin " 

 respectively occur as yellow fluids hav- 

 ing a purely oleaginous taste and phys- 

 ical characteristics resembling those of 

 fatty oils ; they contain 10 per cent, of 

 bromine and of iodine, respectively. 



Iodopin is given in doses of from a tea- 

 spoonful to a tablespoon ful, three times 

 daily, in syphilis and scrofula. In syph- 

 ilis in children the following emulsion is 

 suitable for administration : 



Iodopin 50 grams. 



Powdered acacia .... 25 grams. 



Peppermint water .... 75 grams. 



Syrup 30 grams. 



Dose : Tablespoonful 3 or 4 times 

 daily. 



Bromopin may be given in similar 

 doses and in similar manner. 



Bromosinum — Bromine compound of 

 albumin. Used in epilepsy. Antiseptic. 



Calphenol — Antiseptic surgical dress- 

 ing. 



Camphenol — Combination of camphor, 

 cresols and phenols. Disinfectant and 

 germicide. 



Camphoroxol — Solution of hydrogen 

 peroxide, containing camphor and alcohol. 



Captol — Antiseborrhceic and medicinal 

 cosmetic preparation. Used in dandruff, 

 etc. 



Camiferrol — Liquor carnis ferro-pep- 

 tonatus. Iron preparation of meat pep- 

 tone. Stimulant dietetic. 



Carposid — Glucoside from carica, pap- 

 aya. 



Caseiodine — An iodine derivative of 

 casin, having some similarity to iodothy- 

 rin (thyroiodin). Caseiodine occurs as a 

 white powder, and contains about 8 to 9 

 per cent, of iodine in combination. The 

 preparation is soluble in hot diluted alco- 

 hol, as well as in dilute solutions of the 

 alkalies, but is insoluble in the ordinary 

 solvents; has an excellent effect in struma. 



Catechuoxyquinoldextiingluceral — Pa- 

 pin. 



Chinaphtol — See quinaphtol. 

 Chinoral — See quinoral. 



Chlorosinum— Chlorine compound of 

 albumin. Used in gastric affections (ca- 

 tarrh and carcinoma). 



Chrysarobin Oxidized — A new prepa- 

 ration introduced into dermatological 

 practice. The preparation is obtained by 

 the action of sodium peroxide on chrys- 

 arobin suspended in boiling water. It is 

 best used in the following form: 



Oxidized chrysarobin . . 2.5-5 grams. 



Petrolatum 25 grams. 



Lanolin 25 grams. 



Chrysoidin — Diamido-azobenzol hydro- 

 chlorate. Disinfectant for potable water.
