tannic  acid — a  fact  readily  accounted  for  from  the  presence  of  Cincho- 
tannic  acid — will  be  sufficiently  disguised  by  the  use  of  sugar,  cinna- 
mon and  orange.  Tr.  cinchonse  comp.,  already  containing  auraritii 
cort.,  will  require  only  sugar  and  cinnamon.  For  tr.  gentianas  comp. 
tannic  acid  and  sugar  may  be  used,  though  the  addition  of  syr.  sar- 
saparilla  comp.  or  ext.  sars.  fl.  co.  will  greatly  improve  it,  or  either 
of  the  last  two  named  with  an  aromatic  alone  can  be  employed.  A 
palatable  and  efficient  elixir  of  cinchona  may  be  found  in  Parrish's 
Pharmacy.  The  following  recipes  will  be  adequate  to  the  end  pro- 
■posed  :

The  fer.  et  potass,  tart,  here  serves  a  twofold  purpose,  since  it  helps 
materially  to  conceal  the  bitterness.  The  following  formulae  will  gene- 
rally prove  efficacious  as  tonics  or  antiperiodics,  and  not  impalatable  to 
the  majority  of  persons,  and  may  be  varied  somewhat  according  to 
the  case  and  the  taste  of  the  patient.
