Garrine — An alkaloid discovered in the 

 bitter bark of Garrya racemosa Ramirez, 

 a Mexican cornacea. It is crystal lizable, 

 is odorless, very bitter, and readily sol- 

 uble in water and in alcohol. Nitric acid 

 colors it pink. It possesses the property 

 of increasing the number and depth of the 

 respiratory movements ; an intravenous 

 injection of the decoction of the bark 

 may cause death by paralyzing the re- 

 spiratory centers. The drug acts also on 

 the digestive tract as a bitter tonic. It 

 has been employed in atonic diarrhoea, in 

 the form of tincture, teaspoonful doses 

 being given thrice daily. It is best ex- 

 hibited, however, in the form of its hydro- 

 alcoholic extract, in pills containing o. 1 

 gram {\]/ 2 grains) each.

Gonorol — Is the name that has been 

 applied to what is stated to be a highly 

 purified sandal oil prepared by a patented 

 process. The article is described as being 

 entirely free from any deleterious effects 

 on the organism, such as gastric disturb- 

 ances, kidney affections, etc. 



Gossypol — A new crystalline compound 

 from cotton seed. The substance appears 

 to possess both phenol and acid proper- 

 ties, but, as no characteristic derivative 

 has as yet been obtained, no formula can 

 be assigned it at present. From its chem- 

 ical and physical behavior, gossypol ap- 

 pears to be closely related to certain tan- 

 nins ; pharmacologic experiments have 

 not thus far been made with it. 



Guaiacocaine — Dental anaesthetic. 



Guaiacol and Quinine Hydrochlorate — 

 Occurring in the form of white, crystal- 

 line needles, has recently been introduced 

 as a substitute for guaiacol. It has been 

 stated to be milder in its action than the 

 latter. 



Guaiacol Phosphite — Compound of 

 guaiacol and phosphorus trichloride. 



Guaiacol-Sulphonic Acid — Is not crys- 

 tallizable, and cannot be distilled without 

 decomposition. It combines to form salts. 

 No therapeutic reports regarding the acid 

 or its salts are as yet to hand. 



Guaiacyl— The calcium salt of a sulpho- 

 compound of guaiacol. It forms a grayish- 

 purple powder soluble in alcohol and in 

 water, and insoluble in fixed oils. At 5 

 per cent, aqueous solution has a pale, 

 reddish-violet color, and is very stable ; 

 a 10 per cent, solution deposits somewhat 

 after standing a few hours, but the pre- 

 cipitate readily dissolves on agitation. 

 The taste on these solutions is at first 

 astringent, then slightly saccharine ; the 

 solutions are neither toxic, caustic nor 

 irritant ; used as an analgesic, in the form 

 of injections, in quantities of 0.5 to 1.5 

 gram of the 5 per cent, or 1 gram of the 

 10 per cent, solution. Anaesthesia is said 

 to be complete in five or six minutes. 



Guaiaquin — Quinine guaiacol-bisulpho- 

 nate. Compound of guaiacol-sulphonic 

 acid and quinine alkaloid. Succedaneum 

 for guaiacol.
