peronine,  and  the  salts  of  morphine;  heroin,  it  will  be  remembered, 
is  specifically  mentioned  in  the  act  itself. 
Among  the  preparations  of  cocaine  we  find  a  definition  that  will 
no  doubt  be  objected  to  by  some  manufacturers.  Coca  leaves,  and 
hence  preparations  made  from  coca  leaves,  are  defined  as  being 
preparations  containing  cocaine  or  salts  of  cocaine. 
Among  the  derivatives  of  chloral  hydrate  we  find  enumerated 
"  chloral  alcoholate,  chloralamide,  chloralimide,  chloralose,  dormiol, 
hypnal  and  uraline." 
Under  acetanilide  we  find,  among  a  number  of  more  direct  deriva- 
tives, "  citrophen,  lactophenin  and  phenacetine." 
The  forty  regulations  that  are  embodied  in  the  pages  of  Circular 
21  are  well  worth  the  careful  attention  of  pharmacists.  Taken  as  a 
whole  they  have  met  with  favorable  reception  by  manufacturers  and 
large  dealers,  and  it  is  generally  expected  that  by  January  1st,  the 
date  when  the  law  is  to  come  in  force,  provisions  will  have  been 
made  for  a  general  acceptation  of  the  spirit  as  well  as  the  letter  of 
the  law. 
The  blanket  guaranty,  permitted  under  Regulation  9,  has  been 
filed,  by  a  number  of  manufacturers,  and  pharmacists  will  do  well 
to  arrange  their  dealing  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this 
regulation. 
Denatured  Alcohol. — Regulations  No.  30.  United  States  Internal 
Revenue.  This  is  the  title  of  a  pamphlet  comprising  sixty  pages 
descriptive  of  the  regulations  and  instructions  concerning  denatured 
alcohol. 
The  production  as  well  as  the  sale  of  this  article  appear  to  have 
been  elaborately  safeguarded.  The  denaturing  of  alcohol  is  to  be 
done  in  bonded  warehouses  used  for  denaturing  alcohol,  and  for  no 
other  purpose. 
The  sale  .of  the  product  is  limited  to  persons  who  secure  the 
necessary  permit  from  the  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue  of  the  dis- 
trict in  which  the  business  is  to  be  carried  on.  Dealers  themselves 
are  to  be  classed  as  wholesale  dealers ;  selling  the  original  stamped 
package,  and  retail  dealers  who  may  sell  or  offer  for  sale  quantities 
of  less  than  5  gallons. 
The  product  that  will  be  for  sale  in  the  ordinary  course  of  trade 
is  that  designed  in  the  regulations  as  completely  denatured  alcohol.
