(   November,  1908. 
and  the  strained  liquid  has  remained  clear.  It  is  pleasant,  acidu- 
lous, and  astringent  and  mixes  clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted 
alcohol  and  turbid  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Red  Rose. 
Take  of  Red  Rose  in  number  60  powder  100  Gm. 
Mix  the  powdered  Rose  petals  with  at  least  an  equal  bulk  of 
clean  sand  and  proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  80  c.c. 
of  the  glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
This  product  is  not  entirely  satisfactory,  being  exceedingly 
astringent  but  deficient  in  color.  The  addition  of  acid  would  pos- 
sibly improve  the  formula.  It  mixes  clear  with  syrup  or  diluted 
alcohol  but  cloudy  with  water  or  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Rhubarb. 
Take  of  Rhubarb  in  number  30  powder  100  Gm. 
Proceed  according  to  the  type  process,  using  50  c.c.  of  the 
glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
This  product  is  thick,  clear,  rich  in  odor  and  taste  of  the  drug 
and  is  an  excellent  preparation,  and  the  marc  shows  that  the  drug 
was  fully  exhausted.  It  mixes  clear  with  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol 
but  cloudy  with  water,  and  alcohol  makes  a  turbid  mixture  with  a 
decided  precipitate. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Rhus  Glabra. 
Take  of  Rhus  Glabra  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  a  handsome  preparation,  being  a  clear  red  liquid  pos- 
sessing the  acid  astringent  taste  of  the  drug  and  fully  representing 
it,  and  should  be  a  very  proper  form  for  the  exhibition  of  this 
remedy.  It  mixes  clear  with  water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol  and 
slightly  cloudy  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Rubus.
