LIQUOR FERRI ALBUMIN ATI. 
Lefeldt, Max, suggests modification of the directions for making 
the solution of albuminate of iron of the Ph. Germ. He cautions 
against extending the washing of the precipitate over one day and 
suggests the addition of 2 per cent of sugar to the finished product. — 
Ber. d. pliarm. Gesellsch., Berl., 1906, v. 16, p. 338. 
Beuthner (Schweiz. Wchnschr. f. Chem. u. Pharm.) outlines a proc- 
ess for making a solution of albuminate of iron that is permanent. — 
Pharm. Zentralh., 1906, v. 47, p. 445. 
Laves, E., in a paper on the therapeutic advantage of iron albu- 
minate over other preparations of iron, makes some interesting sug- 
gestions concerning the preparation and method of testing solutions 
of iron albuminate. — Pharm. Ztg., Berl., 1906, v. 51, p. 850. 
The Helfenberger Annalen (1905, p. 27) asserts that dry albumen 
is practically unattainable in a form fitted for the production of a 
soluble albuminate of iron. — Pharm. Zentralh., 1906, v. 47, p. 832. 
Arny, H. V., thinks it unfortunate that the solution of ferric 
citrate was omitted from the pharmacopoeia, since in the dispensing 
| pharmacy it is invaluable; even the process of manufacture of the 
ferric citrate is omitted. — Am. J. Pharm., Phila., 1906, v. 78, p. 11. 
Francis, John M., thinks few of the chalybeate tonics are equal to 
this old remedy, and many physicians could be won over to its regu- 
lar use if pharmacists would make a little diplomatic campaign. — 
Bull. Pharm., Detroit, 1906, a t . 20, p. 97. 
Beard, E. G., suggests that Basham’s mixture is best made in small 
quantities, following the U. S. P. exactly, but using acid acetic No. 8 
instead of the dilute, and leaving the tincture of iron out entirely. 
Mix everything, pour into a stoppered bottle ; now mark the quantity 
of tincture of iron which should properly be in. say, a 6 or 8 ounce 
bottle, and just before dispensing drop the necessary number of 
drops into the solution. — Proc. Mississippi Pharm. Ass., 1906, p. 42. 
Charles, TTm. J., says he can make this preparation so that it will 
keep six months and still taste fresh if kept properly corked and 
good ammonium carbonate and full-strength acetic acid be used. The 
acid must be of 36 per cent and not the 29 per cent, as most commer- 
cial varieties are. If the acid be diluted to make dilute acetic acid, 
U. S. P., according to the formula, there will be trouble unless the 
work is done on the basis of 29 per cent commercial acid and less 
water be used. — Bull. Pharm., Detroit, 1906, v. 20, p. 516.
