(amgyd.  dulcis  gij.,  aqua  pura  gvj.)  When  the  reaction  has 
ceased  between  the  emulsin  and  amygdalin,  it  is  again  filtered 
and  the  sugar  added,  and  for  every  ounce  thus  to  be  prepared 
add  gr.  24  of  citrate  of  iron,  previously  dissolved  in  water  suffi- 
cient to  make  the  whole  fluid  extract  measure  twenty-four 
fluid  ounces.  The  addition  of  iron  to  the  bitter  principle  and 
hydrocyanic  acid  of  the  simple  extract  of  wild  cherry,  I  think 
should  render  it  much  more  efficient  as  a  tonic,  and  greatly  add 
to  the  value  of  the  preparation. 
Cold  Cream. — The  following  is  my  receipt  for  Cold  Cream 
compound,  which  will  be  found  to  be  a  most  elegant  preparation.

By  a  gentle  heat  carefully  melt  and  mix  the  oil,  spermaceti 
and  wax  ;  to  these,  on  cooling,  add  the  medicated  waters  holding 
the  borax  and  glycerin  in  solution  and  throughly  incorporate  in 
a  mortar  until  cold. 
Cream  Syrups.— To  Mr.  A.  B.  Taylor  we  are  indebted  for 
the  introduction  of  Cream  Syrup,  amongst  other  excellent 
things.  This  class  of  syrups  has  not  depreciated  in  public  favor 
when  dispensed  of  good  quality.  But  the  speedy  decom- 
position which  the  cream  is  liable  to  undergo,  and  the  trouble  of 
procuring  it  at  all  times,  is  a  difficulty  which  it  is  desirable  to 
remedy  by  offering  a  substitute.  Below  I  give  a  receipt  for 
Cream  Syrup,  which  I  have  employed  for  some  time,  and  which 
has  gained  no  little  celebrity.
