of promoting uniformity among those who may already be accus- 
tomed to prepare it. Dr. Jackson has furnished us with the 
following recipe : 
{&. Sassaf. Medullae Z\. 
Acaciae ----- li.

Morphia? Muriat. gr. viii. 
Aqua? - - - - - O i. or q. s. 
The Sassafras Pith and Gum Arabic are to be put into the water, 
and allowed to stand ten or twelve hours, with occasional stirring. 
The sugar is to be dissolved (cold) in the mucilage thus obtained, 
which after being strained, should be made to measure two pints 
by the addition of water. Lastly, the Muriate of Morphia is to 
be dissolved in the Syrup. 
A small quantity of Hoffman's Anodyne was formerly added to 
prevent fermentation : but this has been omitted as being unneces- 
sary when the syrup is carefully prepared. 
This syrup contains one-fourth of a grain of Muriate of Morphia 
(we believe originally \ gr.) in each fluid ounce; and is given in 
doses of a teaspoonful every two or three hours, according to cir- 
cumstances.

Are two other preparations of the same physician, and de- 
signed for a similar purpose with the above. They have both 
become somewhat popular remedies, and merit publication. The
