part each of camphor, opium, and ipecac with seven parts of the 
potassium sulphate. The dose is from 2 to 10 grains. — Hahneman. 
Month., Phila., 1906, v. 41, p. 43. 
Ehrlich, C., (Miinchen Med. Mchnschr., v. 53, No. 1) confirms 
Chlumsky’s excellent results with camphor and carbolic acid in 96 
cases of suppuration. — J. Am. M. Ass., 1906, v. 46, p. 1808. 
CAMPHORA MONOBROMATA. 
Douglass, Malcolm E., gives the dose of camphor monobromate as 
from one-tenth grain to 5 grains. — Hahneman. Month., Phila., 1906, 
v. 41, p. 4T. 
CANNABIS INDICA. 
T\ T alters, M. J., gives a historical sketch of cannabis indica, its 
cultivation, preparation for market, etc. He remarks that the only 
means of standardizing is by the physiological method. — Proc. Indi- 
ana Pharm. Ass., 1906, pp. 110-113. 
The Ph. Brit. Committee of Reference in Pharmacy report on can- 
nabis indica says : 
If tlie yield to alcohol is included, it should be not lower than 10 per cent, 
as the yield is rarely less than 11 per cent. — Chem. & Drug., Lond., 1906, v. 
69, p. 863. 
Taylor, S., pleads for some control of the drug, viz, (a) its im- 
portation, (&) its manufacture into galenicals, and (c) the length of 
time it is kept in stock. This drug and its galenical preparations de- 
teriorate somewhat rapidly on keeping, a fact which leads one to 
believe that the idiosyncrasy of the patient with regard to the drug 
is rather one of the drug with regard to the patient. He feels sure 
that if the freshness of the drug were guaranteed to the pharmacist, 
he would in turn guarantee the freshness of the galenical. — Pharm. 
J., Bond., 1906, v. 23, p. 669. 
Patch, E. L., reports on 6 samples of cannabis indica which con- 
tained 7.26, 12.1, 11.8, 11.87, and 12 per cent of resin, respectively. 
Kraemer, Henry, asserts that a drug answering the official descrip- 
tion is not on the market. — Proc. Am. Pharm. Ass., 1906, v. 54, p. 335. 
Philipp Roder, Mien, reports examining a sample of Indian can- 
nabis which contained 13.94 per cent of ash and 16.34 per cent of 
matter soluble in 90 per cent alcohol. 
The Ph. Austr. VIII requires 8 per cent of matter soluble in 90 
per cent alcohol and limits the ash content to not exceeding 15 per 
cent. — Pharm. Post., Mien, 1906, v. 39, p. 264. 
Vanderkleed, Charles E., reports meeting with Mexican grown 
cannabis indica, testing 11.1 per cent of resin. This resin was shown 
by physiological tests on dogs to be only about one-fourth as active
