Fluidglycerate  of  Caulophyllum. 
Take  of  Caulophyllum  in  number  20  powder  100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  80  c.c.  of  the 
glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
The  finished  product  was  free  of  sediment  and  has  remained  clear 
and  brilliant  with  characteristic  taste  of  the  drug.  With  water  it 
mixes  with  a  slight  cloudiness  and  also  forms  cloudy  mixtures  with 
alcohol  or  diluted  alcohol,  but  with  syrup  it  mixes  clear.  It  ap- 
pears to  be  a  satisfactory  preparation. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Chimaphila. 
Take  of  Chimaphila  in  number  20  powder  100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  60  c.c.  of  the 
glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
The  resulting  product  appears  to  be  an  excellent  preparation,  is 
free  from  sediment  and  has  remained  clear,  and  should  be  an  accept- 
able form  for  administering  the  drug.  With  water  it  makes  a 
slightly  cloudy  mixture  and  with  alcohol  a  turbid  one  results,  but  it 
mixes  clear  with  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Chirata. 
Take  of  Chirata  in  number  20  powder   .100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  80  c.c.  of  the 
glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
The  resulting  preparation  showed  a  very  slight  sediment  which 
was  readily  strained  off,  and  the  remainder  has  been  clear  since. 
It  is  a  thick,  dark-brown,  exceedingly  bitter  liquid,  fully  representing 
the  drug.  It  makes  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol  clear 
mixtures  but  produces  with  alcohol  a  cloudiness. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Cimicifuga. 
Take  of  Cimicifuga  in  number  20  powder  100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  60  c.c.  of  the  glycerol- 
water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
This  preparation  was  one  of  the  surprises  of  the  series.    It  has
