Liquor cinchonsB pallid. (1 to 32). 
Presents not only the cinchona alkaloids extracted unimpaired, but also the 
resinous qualities, the medicinal value of which is far greater than has generally 
been supposed. 
Liquor taraxaci, prepared entirely without the aid of heat. 
Liquor papav. alb., liquor rhoeados, liquor croci, 1 part with 4 parts of syr. 
simp, form the P. L. syrup. 
The great tendency to fermentation displayed by the syrups when made accord¬ 
ing to the P. L. form induced us to introduce the above, which have been found of 
great value to the retail chemist, enabling him to dispense with the long, tedious, 
and cumbrous process which is required for the two first-named syrups, while the 
tendency to ferment is effectually obviated, and with the greatest ease either small 
or large quantities can be immediately made, which keep good for years. 
Beaufoy and Co., South Lambeth, London. - 
Acetate of lime. 
Pure acetate of soda, from which their acetic acid is made. 
Acetic acid, British Pharmacopoeia. 
Glacial acetic acid. 
Malt, from which their vinegar is^made. 
Pale vinegar of normal colour, and coloured vinegar, as the public in 
general will have it. 
Bell, J., and Co., Oxford Street, London. 
Cases of Suppositories and Pessaries : also samples of Medicated Cottons. 
These latter were recommended by Dr. Greenhalgh, who considered that cotton 
so prepared had a certain advantage over the pessaries, being light and portable 
and not soiling linen. Iodine was first employed, but several other remedies have 
since been introduced, such as cotton with iodine and atropine, cotton with tannin, 
cotton with matico, and cotton with morphia. The list is still capable of extension. 
Bishop, Me., Mile End, New Toion, Ljondon, 
Various granular medicinal preparations. 
This elegant and effervescent mode of exhibiting certain remedies has been of 
late much patronized. 
Bosley, John L., Brompton Road, London. 
Case of suppositories and pessaries. 
These have already been commented on in the Journal. 
Beady, H. B., Mosley Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne. 
Medicated pessaries and suppositories, prepared with theobroma oil {Beurre 
de Cacao). 
Soluble bougies, variously medicated, as recommended by Mr. Henry 
Thompson, F.R.C.S., for use instead of fluid injections in chronic gonor¬ 
rhoea and gleet. 
For a full account of the manufacture and remedial use of medicated pessaries 
and suppositories, Mr. Brady’s paper (Pharm. Journ. vol. vii. p. 544, second 
series) may be consulted. Mr. T. H. Hills remarks, that with respect to the 
material to be used, from his experience, cacao butter, from its low melting-point, 
and from its being so cleanly, was the best, and without any admixture of any sort. 
Sponge tents prepared according to the directions of Dr. Marion Sims. 
For dilating the os uteri Dr. Sims employs sponge saturated with thick 
mucilage, and compressed into the form of solid elongated cones, about 
two inches and a half in length, and then dried. After drying, the hir- 
face is finished, and rendered quite smooth by means of sand-paper. 
Capsules of oil of male-fern, extractum Jilicis liqiddiem, put up in capsules 
of gelatine, each containing twenty minims.
