Pharm., 12, p. 34.] 
Cubebin is stated to be slowly deposited from the ethereal extract of 
cubeb upon standing. The extract prepared from 17 ounces of cubeb 
gave 15 grains of cubebin.

Extract of Capsicum. 
Am. Journ. Pharm., 25, p. 513. 
The extract was prepared at the request of a physician. Dilute alcohol 
was employed for exhausting the drug. Eight ounces of Capsicum yielded 
two ounces of extract. 
It is stated that a simple ointment which acts as a rubiafacient in 20 
minutes may be prepared by mixing one drachm of this extract with 1 
ounce of simple cerate.

Rapport sur le produit oleo-resineux de cubebe obtenu a 
l’aide du sulfure de carbone. 
Journ. de Pharm. et de Chim., 65, p. 368. 
The article is on the experimental preparation of the oleoresin of cubebs 
with carbon disulphide. This solvent is proven to be worthless for this 
purpose on account of the large amount necessary for extracting the drug 
and on account of the difficulty in removing it by evaporation.

Ueber Cubebinum. 
Arch. d. Pharm., 139, p. 302. 
The so-called cubebin was obtained in the preparation of Extractum 
CubelfaruTn oleoso-resinosum, for which a mixture of ether and alcohol was 
used. Upon standing in a cool place, needle-like crystals adhering in 
groups were noticed. These crystals were soluble in warm alcohol and 
gave a carmine red color with sulphuric acid.
