water  20  parts  and  add  orange  flower  water  20  parts.    P.  G. 
Syrupus  Ferri  lodidi,  U.  8.  Syrupus  Ferri  jodati,  P.  G. — The 
manipulation  is  alike  in  both  Pharmacopoeias,  but  there  is  a  vast  dif- 
ference in  the  strength  :  1,000  parts  of  the  syrup  contain  82  parts  of 
iodine  and  600  parts  of  sugar,  U.  S.,  against  41  parts  of  iodine  and 
650  parts  of  sugar,  P.  G.  The  latter  is  just  one-half  the  strength  of 
the  former. 
Syrupus  Ipecacuankce,  U.  S.,  P.  G. — Mix  fluid  extract  of  ipecac,  5 
parts  with  syrup  95  parts.  U.  S. — Ipecac  1  part,  alcohol  (sp.  gr.  -894) 
5  parts,  water  40  parts ;  obtain  40  parts  of  infusion,  and  dissolve  in  it 
60  parts  of  sugar.    P.  G. — The  proportional  strength  is  as  5  :  1. 
Syy^upus  Rhei,  U.  S.,  P.  G.  The  manipulation  is  nearly  alike  in  both 
Pharmacopoeias.    The  ingredients  for  1 ,000  parts  of  syrup  are : 
Rhubarb,  sliced.   Cinnamon.      Potass,  carb.      Water.      Infusion.  Sugar.

Syrupus  Rubi  Jdcei,  U.  S.,  P.  G. — Bruise  raspberries,  after  three- 
days  express,  when  completely  fermented  filter,  and  in  40  parts  of  the 
filtrate  dissolve  60  parts  of  sugar.  U.  S.  This  is  the  formula  of  the 
first  German  Pharmacopoeia,  except  that  the  quantity  of  sugar  has 
been  reduced.  The  following  is  an  improvement  on  this  formula,  since 
fermentation  is  directed  at  a  certain  temperature,  and  the  proper  time 
for  finishing  the  syrup  is  ascertained  by  a  simple  test.  Bruised  rasp- 
berries are  kept  in  a  covered  vessel  at  about  20°C.  (68 °F.)  and  fre- 
quently stirred  until  a  small  quantity  of  the  filtered  juice  may  be 
mixed  with  half  its  volume  of  alc.ohol  without  becoming  turbid ;  then 
express,  filter,  and  in  35  parts  of  the  filtrate  dissolve  65  parts  of  sugar.

Syi^upus  Senegce,  U  S.,  P.  G. — Fluid  extract  of  senega  160  parts^ 
ammonia  water  4  parts,  water  250  parts;  obtain  400  parts  of  filtrate, 
and  dissolve  in  it  600  parts  of  sugar.  (J.  S. — Senega  50  parts,  alco- 
hol (sp.  gr.  -832)  50  parts,  water  450  parts ;  macerate  for  two  days, 
express,  and  in  400  parts  of  the  filtrate  dissolve  600  parts  of  sugar. 
P.  G. — The  relative  strength  is  about  as  3  :  1. 
Syrupus  Semice,  U.  S.,  P.  G.  —Digest  33  parts  of  senna  at  50°C. 
(122°F.),  first  with  160  parts  of  water  for  24  hours,  then  with  70 
parts  of  water  for  six  hours ;  evaporate  the  expressed  liquids  to  30-
