ON RESINEONE OF TAR. 
sweet almonds formed an oleate ; in this form the resineone 
easily enters into the composition of loochs. 15 parts of it 
are given with 125 parts of a potion. 
By mixing 990 parts of sugar with 5 parts of resineone, 
and 5 parts of gum, a mixture is obtained, well qualified 
for pastilles. 
The alcoholate of resineone, containing i per cent, of 
resineone, is to be taken on sugar, at the doses of six drops 
four times a day. It is recommended in chronic catarrhs 
of the bladder. 
Externally the resineone seems to have rendered re- 
markable services in cutaneous diseases. 
A pomatum may be formed of it in the following man- 
ner: — 
Ceratum, without water 30 parts. 
Resineone - 4 do. 
Mix. 
M. Peraire has applied this mixture with success in 
several cases, which are commonly called dartres (tetter.) 
(Gazette Medicate de Paris, 14th Dec, 1844.) 
We think that with reference to cutaneous diseases, M. 
Peraire could have employed the resineone with more ad- 
vantage in the squammous affections, viz., in psoriasis, 
ichtyosis, prurigo, &c, than in cases of dartres (tetter,) or 
with a humid secretion. At least, tar was hitherto em- 
ployed with more success in those affections, than in cases 
of dartres.
