ELIXIR BUCHU COMPOSITUM X. F. 
Caldwell, Paul, points out that the compound elixir of buchu now 
contains twice as much extractive matter as before and suggests that 
the amount of alcohol be materially increased. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. 
Gaz., N. Y., 1906, v. 50, p. 392. 
ELIXIR BUCHU ET POTASSII ACETATIS FT. E. 
Caldwell, Paul, asserts that potassium acetate is frequently acid 
and is then incompatible with elixir of buchu. He also suggests the 
addition of 5 per cent of glycerin. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. Gaz., X. Y., 
1906, v. 50, p. 392. 
ELIXIR CHLOROFORMI COMPOSITUM FT, F. 
Caldwell, Paul, points out that compound elixir of chloroform is 
not an elegant preparation. He also says: 
It is an encouraging condition in pharmacy when preparations such as this 
fail to command attention from the conscientious pharmacist. — Drug. Circ. & 
Chem. Gaz., N. Y., 1906, v. 50, p. 392. 
ELIXIR CINCHONA FT. F. 
Caldwell, Paul, believes that the new formula for elixir of calisaya 
is objectionable in some ways and that the resulting preparation is not 
so satisfactory as one made by percolating the various aromatic drugs 
together with the cinchona bark and then adding the usual dilu- 
ents. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. Gaz., X. Y., 1906, v. 50, p. 392. 
F. S. H. deplores the fact that elixir of cinchona of the previous 
editions of the X. F. has been replaced by an elixir of cinchona made 
from the alkaloids. He thinks that the old elixir filled a want not 
supplied by the present substitute. — Bull. Am. Pharm. Ass., 1906, 
v. 1, p. 349. 
ELIXIR CINCHOFLE ET FERRI FT. F. 
Caldwell, Paul, asserts that his experience with the scale salts of 
iron solution with aromatic elixir has not been satisfactory and sug- 
gests the use of the precipitated phosphate of iron and sufficient phos- 
phoric acid to dissolve in the making of elixir of cinchona and iron. — 
Drug. Circ. & Chem. Gaz., X. Y., 1906, v. 50, p. 392. 
ELIXIR CIFTCHOFT.E ET HYPOPHOSPHITUM FI. F. 
Caldwell, Paul, asserts that double the amount of hypophosphorous 
acid in the formula for elixir of cinchona and hvpophosphites would 
be preferable. — Drug. Circ. & Chem. Gaz., X. Y.. 1906, v. 50, p. 392.
