(Am.  Jour.  Pharm. 
\  November,  1908. 
The  product  formed  a  mucilaginous  sediment,  but  after  strain- 
ing has  remained  clear.  It  has  the  bitterness  and  considerable  of 
the  flavor  of  orange  peel,  the  aroma  being  brought  out  on  dilution. 
It  mixes  clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol  and  cloudy 
with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Sweet  Orange  Peel. 
Take  of  Sweet  Orange  Peel  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. 
The  product  formed  much  less  precipitate  than  that  from  the  bitter 
orange,  was  readily  decanted  and  after  straining  has  remained  clear. 
It  is  slightly  acid,  pleasantly  bitter  and  has  a  good  aroma.  It  mixes 
clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol  and  slightly  cloudy  with 
alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Pareira. 
Take  of  Pareira  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  starch-like  sediment  which  was  readily 
removed  by  straining.  It  has  since  continued  clear  and  is  decidedly 
bitter  and  makes  slightly  cloudy  mixtures  with  water,  syrup  or 
diluted  alcohol  and  turbid  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Phytolacca  Root. 
Take  of  Phytolacca  Root  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. 
The  product  was  a  clear,  red-brown  liquid,  which  on  standing 
has  become  thick,  almost  gelatinous,  and  for  this  reason  I  do  not 
consider  the  preparation  satisfactory.  Probably  poke  root  yields 
too  much  to  solution  to  permit  of  a  preparation  of  this  strength. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Pilocarpus, 
Take  of  Pilocarpus  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.
