one in the National Formulary. (See also Glyceritum Ferri. Quinine

this name are said to contain no phosphoric acid.

Gm. (y grain) of quinine, and 0.001 Gm. grain) of strychnine.

EMULSUM OLEI MORRHUE. 
Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.

EMULSUM OLEI TEREBINTHINE. 
Emulsion of Oil of Turpentine.

The National Formulary gives a somewhat similar preparation 
under the name of Emulsio Olei Terebinthinae. 
a The character of some of these preparations is shown by the statement ( Jour. 
Arner. Med. Assoc., 44. p. 1943; 1905) that a specimen of a ‘‘Tasteless Cod Liver 
Oil” contained no oil whatever.
