THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY, 



Chrysotoxin — An active principle of 

 ergot. 



Cinchonidine Chlorocarbonic Acid 

 Ester — Occurs in the form of colorless, 

 tasteless needles, melting at 19 1° C. It 

 has a neutral reaction, and is soluble in 

 acids. 



Collaetina— Proprietary lanolin-rubber 

 adhesive plaster. 



Controdolin — Combination of salicylic 

 and phenylic acids with acetamide. Anti- 

 zymotic, analgesic, antineurotic, anther- 

 mic and anodyne. Dose: 0.25 to 0.5 

 grams hourly, if necessary. 



Cordyl — Acetyl-tribromosalol. Used 

 like cordol. 



Cosapiin — Acetyl compound of sodium 

 sulphanilate. Succedaneum for acetani- 

 lid. 



Crealbin — A combination of creolin and 

 albumin, resembling ichthalbin and tan- 

 nalbin. 



Creosote Phosphate — Tricreosote phos- 

 phate. Succedaneum for creosote. 



Creosote Phosphite— See phosphatol. 



Curangin — Glucoside from curanga 

 amara. Used in India as a febrifuge. 



Diabetico — Beverage recommended in 

 diabetes. 



Dicamphor and Dicamphendion — Two 

 new compounds have been obtained by 

 the action of sodium, at a temperature of 

 about 90 C, upon camphor monobrom- 

 ate dissolved in some indifferent solveut, 

 such as toluol. They are separated by 

 recrystallization from diluted alcohol and 

 then from ligroin. Dicamphor crystal- 

 lizes in the form of colorless needles, 

 melting at from 165 to 166 C. Dicam- 

 phendion occurs as yellow, prismatic 

 needles, melting at 192-193 C. 



Dicodeylmethane — Condensation prod- 

 uct of codeine and formaldehyde. 



Difluordiphenyl or Entitussin — A white 

 crystalline powder, of the specific gravity 

 1.04, and melting at 86° C; insoluble in 

 water, but readily soluble in alcohol, 

 ether, chloroform or fixed oils. It has a 

 pleasant, aromatic odor, recalling that of 

 dill seed. The preparation is applied, 

 mixed with talcum, 10 per cent, dusting- 

 powder, or in 10 per cent, ointment with 

 wool-fat. Bacteriological investigations 

 made with the ointment showed that its 

 curative properties were not due to any 

 bactericidal power of its own, but more 

 likely to the liberation of some active 

 agent by the decomposing action of the 

 secretions. 



Dimethylamido-Antipyrin — See pyra- 

 midon. 



Dimethyl-Amidopbenyl Dimethylpyr- 

 azolon — See pyramidon. 



Diphenol — Diamidoxyphenyl. Photo- 

 graphic developer. 



Dourahina — Brazilian drug, used as a 

 diuretic and diaphoretic, like digitalis. 



Dynamogen — Preparation resembling 

 hematogen, and used similarly in anaemia 

 and its sequelae. 



Eigon and Eigon Preparations — Are 

 generic names given to a group of com- 

 pounds of albumin with iodine in stable 

 combination. The preparations are in- 

 tended to replace the iodine preparations 

 hitherto used, both internally and exter- 

 nally. The following are to serve as a 

 basis for various medicinal preparations : 

 Alpha Eigon, occurring as a light-brown, 

 odorless and tasteless powder, containing 

 20 per cent, of combined iodine, which is 

 liberated by both acids and by alkalies, 

 more readily, however, by acids ; Alpha 

 Eigon-sodium, Sodium Iodolabuminate, 

 an almost colorless, odorless, and nearly 

 tasteless powder, containing about 75 per 

 cent, of iodine, combined with the albu- 

 min, and soluble in cold, but more read- 

 ily so in hot water ; Beta Eigon, Pepto- 

 num Iodatum, with properties similar to 

 those of the above-mentioned prepara- 

 tions, but especially intended for use 

 where large quantities of iodine are re- 

 quired to be ingested, and a more ready 

 and rapid absorption required because of 

 weakened digestive functions or of gastric 

 affections. 



Eka-Iodoform — Mixture of iodoform 

 with paraform. Succedaneum for iodo- 

 form. 



Enterorose — Dietetic recommended in 

 gastro-intestinal catarrh. Dose : 8 grams 

 every 1 to 3 hours ; children, half the 

 dose. 



Epidermin — Ointment for dermatolog- 

 ical antisepsis ; said to be composed of 

 fluoroxyl and difluorplienyl. Do not con- 

 found with epidermin-rothriegel, also an 

 ointment base. 



Epidermin-Rothriegel — Ointment base 

 of wax, glycerin, mucilage acacia and 

 water. 



Ethylamine Urate — Remedy in gout 

 and vesical calculi. 



Eucaine B — Benzoyl-vinyldiacetoneal- 

 kamine hydrochlorate. Succedaneum for 

 cocaine in ophthalmological practice in 2 

 per cent, solution.
