The author is of the opinion that the oleoresin of cubeb might well have 
been included in the class made with acetone, as the drug yields but little 
on subsequent extraction with alcohol. Alcohol on the other hand is 
open to the objection that its boiling point is so high that a considerable 
loss of volatile substances from the cubeb occurs when the solvent is 
evaporated (p. 134.)
