Emu/stones  Oleosa.

June,  1878. 
Mr.  Chiles'  formula  ("Amer.  Jour,  of  Pharm.,"  March,  1873,  P* 
104)  also  deserves  mention,  furnishing,  if  properly  adhered  to,  a  very 
satisfactory  result.  There  is  another  formula  for  this  preparation, 
usually  used  by  me,  which  seems  to  be  preferred  by  many  physicians. 
It  is  pleasant,  acceptable  to  the  most  delicate  stomach,  and  will  not 
separate,  if  properly  made. 
The  recipe  is  as  follows  :

Misce,  fiat  emuJsio,  cui  adde. 
Syr.  Lactophosphatis  Calcii,              .              .  f^ii- 
Mix  the  ethereal  oils  with  the  codliver  oil ;  make  a  thick  mucilage 
with  the  gum,  sugar  and  a  small  quantity  of  distilled  water ;  gradually 
and  carefully,  with  constant  trituration,  add  the  oil  and  the  balance  of 
the  water  alternately. 
The  syrup  of  lacto-phosphate  of  lime  is  kept  by  me  in  a  separate  bottle, 
and  added  in  the  proper  proportion  before  dispensing.  I  have  never 
found  any  trouble  in  keeping  it  on  hand  during  the  warm  season,  except 
in  one  case,  when  the  emulsion  separated,  which  was,  however,  due  to 
imperfect  manipulation  and  too  great  haste  when  preparing  it,  as  was 
proved  by  later  experiments.  This  emulsion  can  be  flavored  differently, 
of  course,  by  substituting  oil  of  bitter  almonds  or  any  other  desirable 
flavor  for  the  oils  of  wintergreen  and  peppermint.  The  syrup  of  lacto- 
phosphate  of  lime  used  by  me  was  made  according  to  the  formula 
published  by  Mr.  Chiles  ("Amer  Jour,  of  Pharm.,"  1873,  P*  105)>anc* 
seems  very  satisfactory. 
9.  A  preparation  prescribed  much  lately  is  "  Emulsion  of  codliver 
oil  with  hypophosphites."  It  can  be  easily  made  by  substituting  the 
proper  syrup  in  the  formula  given  above.
