No  sediment  has  formed  in  this  product  and  it  appears  to  be  an 
excellent  form  for  the  administration  of  this  drug,  the  valuable 
astringent  principle  being  well  extracted.  It  mixes  clear  with  syrup 
or  diluted  alcohol,  cloudy  with  water,  and  turbid  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Glycyrrhiza. 
Take  of  Glycyrrhiza  in  number  20  powder  100  Gm. 
Ammonia  water   5  c.c. 
Mix  the  ammonia  water  with  60  c.c.  of  the  glycerol-water  men- 
struum and  moisten  the  drug  with  this  mixture,  and  then  proceed 
according  to  the  type  process. 
The  product  is  rich  in  the  flavor  of  licorice  and  the  marc  shows 
that  the  drug  has  been  exhausted.  It  has  remained  clear  and  forms 
clear  mixtures  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol,  but  turbid 
with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Guarana. 
Take  of  Guarana  in  number  60  powder  100  Gm. 
Clean  sharp  white  Sand  250  Gm. 
Mix  the  guarana  and  sand  and  proceed  according  to  the  type 
process,  using  60  c.c.  of  the  glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten 
the  drug. 
The  product,  while  not  as  deep  in  color  as  the  fluidextract,  is 
bright,  clear,  and  rich  in  the  peculiar  flavor  of  the  drug.  It  mixes 
clear  with  syrup,  slightly  cloudy  with  water  or  diluted  alcohol,  and 
still  more  cloudy  with  alcohol.  It  is  one  of  the  good  preparations 
in  these  experiments  and  assayed  3.8  Gm.  of  alkaloid  in  100  c.c. 
Fluidglycerate  of  FLematoxylon. 
Take  of  Hsematoxylon  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  is  another  good  product  that  has  shown  no  signs  of  sediment, 
and  fully  represents  the  astringency  of  the  drug.  It  makes  clear 
solutions  with  water,  syrup,  alcohol  or  diluted  alcohol.
