Pharm.  as  follows  :  Pulv.  camphor,  20  parts ;  chloral,  30  parts  ;  melt 
at  140°  F.,  and  add  10  parts  pulv.  cantharis;  agitate  for  1  hour,  with

Chloral  Ammonium. — According  to  Nouv.  Bern.,  Nov.  8,  1888, 
this  substance  is  trichlor-amido-ethylic  alcohol,  having  the  formula 
C2HCI3.NH2.OH,  as  stated  by  Nestbit  in  rOrosi,  Aug.  1888.  It 
is  obtained  by  passing  a  current  of  dry  ammonia  gas  through  anhy- 
drous chloral  dissolved  in  chloroform.  A  crystalline  mass  is  produced 
which  is  removed  and  dried  in  vacuo.  It  resembles  chloral  in  taste 
and  odor,  but  the  taste  is  less  persistent.  According  to  Nestbit,  chlo- 
ral ammonium  used  in  1  to  2  gm.  doses  gives  the  therapeutic  eifectsof 
urethan  and  chloral,  being  both  hypnotic  and  analgesic.  Its  action 
upon  the  heart  and  respiratory  centres  is  less  strong  than  that  of 
chloral.

go  over  the  work  with  a  spray  of  oil  of  turpentine  until  spots  appear 
and,  when  dry,  bake  in  the  usual  manner.
