Actions  and  Uses. — Eumydrin  is  a  mydriatic  and  antihydrotic, 
replacing  atropine  sulphate  both  internally  and  externally  in  corre- 
sponding doses.  It  is  claimed  that  it  dilates  the  pupil  more  rapidly 
than  atropine  and  the  dilatation  is  of  shorter  duration— being  inter- 
mediate in  these  respects  between  atropine  and  homatropine.  It  is 
said  to  be  much  less  toxic  than  atropine,  so  that  larger  doses  may 
be  given  to  secure  the  effect.  It  is  particularly  recommended  for 
the  treatment  of  night  sweats,  whooping  cough  and  the  relief  of 
enuresis.  Dosage. — Internally  as  an  antihydrotic,  o-ooi  to  00025 
gramme  to  grain).  Externally  as  mydriatic,  in  solutions 
about  one-tenth  stronger  than  the  usual  atropine  solutions.  Manu- 
factured by  Farbenfabriken,  vorm.  Friedr.  Bayer  &  Co.,  Elberfeld, 
Germany  (Continental  Color  &  Chemical  Co.,  New  York). 
EUPHORIN. 
Euphorin,  CO  (HN.C6H5)  (OC2H5)  =  C9Hn02N,  a  compound 
closely  allied  to  ^Ethylis  Carbamas,  U.  S.  P.  (urethane)  and  differing 
from  this  by  the  replacement  of  the  group  NH2  by  NHC6H5. 
Actions  and  Uses. — Euphorin  is  anodyne,  antipyretic  and  anti- 
septic. It  is  recommended  in  rheumatism,  sciatica,  headache,  etc. 
Externally  it  is  recommended  to  be  applied  as  a  dusting  powder  in 
venereal  and  skin  diseases,  ulcers,  burns,  etc.  Dosage. — 0-5  to  1 
gramme  (8  to  15  grains)  dissolved  in  wine  or  suspended  in  water; 
externally  in  powder,  in  lanolin  ointment  and  in  superfatted  soap. 
Manufactured  by  Fabrik  von  Heyden,  Radebeul  near  Dresden. 
EUPHTHALMIN. 
Euphthalmin,  C17H25N03.HC1,  a  mandelic  acid  derivative  of  beta- 
eucaine. 
Actions  and  Uses. — Euphthalmin  produces  prompt  mydriasis  free 
from  anesthetic  action,  pain,  corneal  irritation,  or  rise  in  arterial 
tension.  It  has  little  or  no  effect  on  accommodation,  and  this  dis- 
appears more  rapidly  than  with  atropine,  cocaine,  hematropine,  etc. 
In  its  effects  on  the  general   system,  euphthalmin  very  closely 
resembles  atropine.    Dosage  2  or  3  drops  of  a  5  to  10  per  cent. 
solution,  according  to  age  of  the  patient  and  the  nature  of  the  case, 
are  instilled  into  the  eye.  Manufactured  by  Chemische  Fabrik  auf 
Actien,  vorm.  E.  Schering,  Berlin  (Schering  &  Glatz,  New  York).
