Fluidglycerate  of  Stramonium. 
Take  of  Stramonium  in  number  30  powder   100  Gm. 
Tartaric  Acid    2  Gm. 
Dissolve  the  tartaric  acid  in  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  was  not  entirely  satisfactory,  as  there  formed  in  it 
a  copious  gelatinous  precipitate,  which  was  strained  off.  The 
preparation  mixes  clear  with  syrup,  cloudy  with  water  or  diluted 
alcohol  and  turbid  with  alcohol.  Assayed  by  the  official  process  for 
assaying  Fluidextract  of  Stramonium,  it  yielded  0.2296  Gm.  alkaloids 
in  100  c.c. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Sumbul. 
Take  of  Sumbul  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  surprisingly  strong  in  the  odor  and  taste  of 
the  drug,  and  has  deposited  only  a  slight  gelatinous  sediment.  It 
mixes  clear  with  syrup,  opalescent  with  water,  cloudy  with  diluted 
alcohol  and  turbid  with  alcohol.

glycerol-water  menstruum  to  moisten  the  drug. 
In  this  product  there  has  formed  a  small  amount  of  gelatinous 
sediment  readily  removed  by  decantation.  It  mixes  clear  with 
water,  syrup  or  diluted  alcohol  and  turbid  with  alcohol. 
Fluidglycerate  of  Tea. 
Take  of  Tea  in  number  30  powder  100  Gm.
