The  bark  at  present  exported  from  Bolivia  is  almost  wholly  the  Cinchona 
Calisaya,  or  yellow  bark. 
I  pass  on  to  say  the  yield  from  these  barks  is  very  variable.  The  pm-e  Cali- 
saya yields  about  eight  per  cent,  of  total  alkaloids.  The  cocola,  a  spurious  bark, 
gives  only  a  small  fraction  of  one  per  cent.  Between  these  extremes  you  have 
every  grade  of  excellence. 
Besides  the  bark  the  natives  use  the  leaves  and  flowers.  The  leaves  are  said 
to  be  nearly  inert,  but  infusions  of  the  flowers  produce  excellent  results.  They 
also  use  the  buds,  from  which  they  make  a  gelatinous  mass  and  apply  it  to 
fresh  wounds,  which  heal  up  by  first  intention. 
FHARMACOPCEIA  OF  THE  FHILADELPHIA  HOSPITAL. 
In  the  February  and  March  numbers  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy, 
1876,  we  reprinted  the  formulas  then  in  use  in  the  Philadelphia  Hospital. 
Since  then  many  new  preparations  have  been  introduced,  and  others  more  or 
less  modified,  and  a  new  edition  of  this  hospital  pharmacopoeia  was  recently 
issued,  which  we  reproduce  in  the  following  :
