corresponds  exactly  with  the  formula  contained  in  that  work.  The 
same  is  true  of  No.  15,  Aromatic  Elixir,  in  which  nothing  is  said 
with  regard  to  its  conformity  with  the  U.  S.  P.  formula,  with  which 
it  agrees  perfectly. 
No.  21,  the  formula  for  Elixir  of  Cinchona  and  Iron  is  given 
the  same  as  N.  F.,  1906,  but  the  quantity  of  ferric  phosphate  is 
changed  from  35  Gm.  in  the  N.  F.  to  36.6  ex.,  which  is  palpably 
an  error,  and  the  quantity  of  boiling  water  is  increased  from  60  c.c. 
to  125  c.c. 
In  formula  No.  25,  Elixir  of  Quinine,  Iron  and  Strychnine,  iden- 
tical with  N.  F.,  1906,  the  only  deviation  is  in  the  amount  of  alco- 
hol, which  has  been  reduced  from  35  c.c.  to  25  c.c. 
Compound  Digestive  Elixir,  No.  33,  is  stated  as  being  the  same 
as  the  N.  F.,  1906,  but  an  examination  of  the  formula  shows  that 
the  amount  of  lactic  acid  has  been  increased  from  one-half  gramme 
to  1.5  c.c,  the  quantity  of  hydrochloric  acid  from  1  c.c.  to  3  c.c, 
and  the  quantity  of  tincture  of  cudbear  from  15  c.c.  to  125  c.c,  the 
latter  quantity  certainly  being  far  in  excess  of  that  necessary  to 
produce  the  desired  color  in  this  preparation. 
The  formula  for  Elixir  of  Pepsin  and  Bismuth,  No.  36,  similar  to 
that  of  the  N.  F.,  1906,  has  been  changed  slightly  by  the  use  of 
pepsin  and  glycerin  instead  of  the  glycerite  of  pepsin  used  in  the 
N.  F.,  and  a  calculation  shows  the  amount  of  pepsin  in  the  finished 
preparation  to  be  slightly  different. 
Formula  No.  37,  Elixir  of  Potassium  Bromide,  has  the  same 
discrepancy  in  the  amount  of  salt  as  previously  mentioned  under 
Elixir  of  Ammonium  Bromide. 
Formula  No.  52,  Compound  Essence  of  Vanillin,  stated  to  be 
identical  with  Compound  Tincture  of  Vanillin,  N.  F.,  1906,  has 
the  amounts  of  vanillin,  coumarin,  alcohol  and  compound  tincture 
of  cudbear,  all  slightly  altered,  although  no  essential  difference  will 
be  noted  in  the  finished  preparation. 
Formula  No.  65,  for  Lac  Humanisatum,  N. -F.,  1906,  has  the 
proportions  of  three  of  its  constituents  slightly  altered,  the  cows' 
milk  and  distilled  water  being  decreased  from  62  c.c  to  56.8  c.c, 
and  the  quantity  of  water  being  decreased  from  15  c.c.  to  14  c.c, 
although  the  amount  of  milk  powder  remains  the  same. 
Under  Formula  66,  White  Liniment,  supposed  to  be  identical  with 
Acetic  Turpentine  Liniment,  N.  F.,  1906,  the  amounts  of  all  the  con- 
stituents except  the  egg  have  been  increased,  but  not  in  uniform 
ratio.
