Larger  amounts  of  aqueous  saline  solutions  cannot  be  permanently 
incorporated  with  cerates,  and  are  apt  to  undergo  decomposition  with 
plasters.  If  incorporation  of  the  dry  salts  be  inadmissible,  a  mass  of 
suitable  consistence  may  be  j)repared  from  gelatin,  glycerin  and  water, 
and  applied  by  saturating  with  it  muslin  or  gauze.  Substances  ren- 
dering gelatin  insoluble  cannot  be  applied  in  this  manner. — Berl.  Klin,

TJnguentum  Plumhi  Hehrce  is  prepared  by  A.  Popowski  as  follows : 
Finely  powdered  litharge  2  parts,  olive  oil  9  parts,  and  water  3  parts, 
are  boiled  together  until  the  ointment  is  nearly  white,  when  it  is 
poured  into  a  deep  porcelain  dish,  and  this  is  kept  without  disturbance 
at  the  temperature  of  a  water-bath  for  10  or  12  hours.  The  dish  is 
then  kept  in  a  cool  j^lace  ;  after  solidification,  the  ointment  is  removed 
by  slightly  warming  the  dish,  and  the  lowest  and  uppermost  strata, 
which  are  impure,  are  removed.  The  pure  middle  translucent  stratum 
is  remelted  without  stirring,  and  poured  into  gallipots  of  suitable  size; 
a  layer  of  glycerin  is  poured  upon  the  surface,  and  the  ointment  pre- 
:#»erved  for  use  in  a  cool  place. — Phar.  Zeitsch.  f.  Russl.
