260 INJECTIONS. 



460. Carmine Colouring Mass (Traite, p. 33). Rub up in a 

 mortar 3 grms. of carmine with a little water and enough 

 ammonia to dissolve the carmine. Add 50 grms. of glycerin, 

 and filter. 



Prepare 50 grins, of acid glycerin (containing 5 grms. of 

 acetic acid for every 50 grms. of glycerin), and add it by 

 degrees to the carmine-glycerin, until a slightly acid reaction 

 is obtained (as tested by very sensitive blue test-paper, moist- 

 ened and held over the mixture). 



One part of this mixture is to be added to 3 or 4 parts of 

 the gelatin injection vehicle (ante, Formula 458), or of the 

 glycerin-gelatin (No. 459), or glycerin-alcohol vehicle de- 

 scribed below (No. 502).
