November,  1908. 
This  has  proven  to  be  an  entirely  satisfactory  preparation  and  a 
sample  two  years  old  shows  no  deterioration.  It  mixes  clear  with 
syrup,  diluted  alcohol  or  alcohol,  but  makes  with  water  a  slightly 
cloudy  mixture,  having  a  purplish  tinted  opalescence. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Lappa. 
Take  of  Lappa  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  product  deposited  a  copious  starchy  semi-gelatinous  sedi- 
ment, and  although  it  had  the  odor  and  taste  of  the  drug,  I  do  not 
consider  it  satisfactory.  It  mixed  clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted 
alcohol,  but  turbid  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Lobelia. 
Take  of  Lobelia  in  number  30  powder  100  Gm. 
Acetic  Acid    25  c.c. 
Mix  the  acetic  acid  with  75  c.c.  of  the  glycerol-water  menstruum 
and  moisten  the  drug  with  this  mixture  and  then  proceed  according 
to  the  type  process. 
This  is  a  good  product,  showing  but  a  trace  of  precipitate  and 
possessing  all  the  acridity  and  irritating  taste  of  the  drug.  It  mixes 
clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol,  but  turbid  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Marrubium. 
Take  of  Marrubium  in  number  20  powder  100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  100  c.c.  of  the 
glycerol-water  menstruum  for  moistening  the  drug. 
This  product  has  deposited  but  a  very  scant  sediment.  It  has  the 
odor  and  taste  of  horehound  and  should  prove  useful.  It  mixes 
clear  with  water  or  syrup  and  nearly  clear  with  diluted  alcohol, 
but  alcohol  produces  a  copious  precipitate  and  turbidity. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Matricaria. 
Take  of  Matricaria  in  number  20  powder  100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  100  c.c.  of  the 
glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug.
