acteristic odor  and  taste  of  the  drug  and  the  marc  shows  that  the 
extraction  was  practically  complete.  It  mixes  clear  with  syrup  or 
diluted  alcohol  and  slightly  cloudy  with  water  and  still  more  so 
with  alcohol.

mixes  clear  with  syrup  and  slightly  cloudy  with  water  or  diluted 
alcohol  and  turbid  with  alcohol.  This  product  should  be  submitted 
to  physiological  testing.

not  satisfactory.  It  mixes  clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted 
alcohol  but  turbid  with  alcohol.
