Mix  the  alcohol  with  two  fluid  ounces  of  glycerin,  moisten  the 
lupulin  with  the  mixture,  pack  into  a  cylindrical  percolator,  and  con- 
tinue to  add  this  mixture  until  eight  fluid  ounces  of  the  percolate  has 
passed ;  to  this  add  the  remainder  of  glycerin,  previously  mixed 
with  the  Curasao,  and  thoroughly  mix  the  whole  together.  This  will 
afford,  by  careful  manipulation,  a  very  fine  preparation,  miscible 
with  any  of  the  ofiicinal  syrups  or  tinctures,  and  possessing  all  the 
medicinal  properties  of  lupulin.  Dose,  for  an  adult,  one  teaspoonful? 
representing  7J  grains  of  lupulin. 
PHARMACEUTICAL  NOTES. 
Editor  Amer.  Jour.  Pharmacy  : 
I  send  you  a  formula  for  Tinct.  Oinchonae  Comp.  which  I  find  does 
not  deposit  any  sediment.* 
Red  Peruvian  Bark,  ^4, 
Bitter  Orange  Peel,  53, 
Serpentaria,  grs.  360,  moderately  fine  powder, 
Saff'ron,  "  Spanish,"  grs.  120,  moderately  coarse  powder. 
Dilute  Alcohol,  using  2  parts  stronger  alcohol  to  1  of  water,  a  suffi- 
cient quantity  to  obtain  by  percolation  2|-  pints  of  tincture. 
I  dispense  with  the  Red  Saunders,  as  I  find  no  reason  for  its 
employment,  and  obtain  a  very  dark  and  handsome  tincture  with  the 
above  formula. 
I  also  send  a  formula  for  the  very  popular  antacid  soda  mint : 
Sodse  Bicarb.,   .           .  .  .  5i, 
Spts.  Ammon.  Aromat.,  .  .  5i, 
Aqu83  Month.  Viridis,  .  .  .  f^ii. 
M.  Filter. 
Dose  :  One  to  two  tablespoonfuls  for  an  adult ;  one-half  to  two 
teaspoonfuls  for  an  infant. 
I  would  like  to  see  a  better  formula  for  soda  mint,  if  any  of  the 
many  readers  of  this  journal  will  send  it.  Yours, 
W.  Banstead  Jones.
