Syrup to prevent . crystallization. — Pharm. J., Lond., 1905, v. 21, 
p. 750. 
Caldwell, Paul, believes that for syrup of acacia an extempora- 
neous mixture of syrup and mucilage of acacia would be prefer- 
able. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. Gaz., Y. Y., 1905, v. 49, p. 306. 
Lyons, A. B., points out that the synonym for syrup of lime, syrup 
of calcium hydroxide, is lacking in chemical exactness, as the calcium 
really exists as a sucrate. — Proc. Am. Pharm. Ass., 1905, v. 53, p. 262. 
Caldwell, Paul, believes that the syrup of ferrous iodide is injured 
by heat and recommends the addition of a small proportion of re- 
duced iron to insure complete reaction. He also suggests the use of 
0.1 per cent of citric acid as a preservative. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. 
Gaz., Y. Y., 1905, v. 49, p. 220. 
Wilbert, M. I., objects to the use of hypophosphorous acid as a pre- 
servative in the syrup of ferrous iodide, and points out that it is an 
ingredient not provided for in the protocol adopted by the Inter- 
national Conference at Brussels. — Am. J. Pharm., Phila., 1905, v. 77, 
p. 363. 
Marquier, Adolph T., discusses syrup of hypophosphites and com- 
pound syrup of hypophosphites, and recommends that, in place of the 
latter preparation, a compound solution of hypophosphites, without 
sugar, after the formula of F. Sieker (Pharm. Bev.), be made offi- 
cial. — Proc. Y. J. Pharm. Ass., 1905, pp. 80-82. 
Fleet, F. W., calls attention to some of the shortcomings of the 
formula for compound syrup of hypophosphites and some of the diffi- 
culties that have been met with in its preparation. He points out the 
need for insisting on the use of pure chemicals. — Canad. Drug., 1905, 
v. 17, p. 179. 
Stanislaus, I. Y. S., objects to the use of acetic acid in syrup of 
ipecac, and suggests a modified formula containing ammonia water 
and an additional quantity of alcohol. — Am. Druggist, Y. Y., 1905, v. 
47, p. 351. 
Caldwell, Paul, suggests the addition of about 5 per cent of 
glycerin in making syrup of krameria. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. Gaz., 
1905, v. 49, p. 306. 
Caldwell, Paul, recommends that the full quantity of glycerin 
ordered in the formula for • syrup of wild cherry, together with 
an equal quantity of water, be mixed with the wild cherry and 
allowed to macerate. He believes that the glycerin when used in this 
way not only extracts more of the coloring matter from the drug, but 
holds in solution more of the hydrocyanic acid. — Ibid., p. 306. 
Caldwell, Paul, says that glycerin, say 50 cc., might be included 
in the formula for compound syrup of squills ; it prevents souring. — 
Ibid., p. 306.
