Book Description
Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1917, Vol. 89 Farwell (bull. Of Pharmacy, 1913, XXXIII, p. 65) points out that most of the drug sold as Viburnum opulus is in fact Acer spica'tum. Kraemer in the second edition of his pharmacognosy also states that the drug described in the U. S. P. VIII is in fact Acer spicatum. This accounts for the fact that several commercial fluidextracts of Viburnum opulus, as well as a few proprietary remedies claiming to contain Viburnum opulus, gave the tests described above.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 73: June, 1901 Observations prove that it is not the hydroxyl groups in them selves nor always the terminal groups that determine solely the action of a substance, but the character and complexity of the mole cule. However, these groups assist in bringing the entire molecule into action with certain chemical compounds in the organism. When the reactive group which exerts the selective action of the compound in the organism is slightly altered or covered, then under conditions we can prevent the action of the entire compound. Between such terminal groups as hydroxyl or methoxyl and certain nerve centers or points in the organism where chemical substances react, definite chemical relations must exist. Through changes in these terminal groups we are able to move the point of attack of the substance or to render it absolutely inactive, but as long as it remains active, the fundamental characters of its action (although frequently modified) always manifest themselves, as for example the alkaloids and their derivatives.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 29 In the London Journal of Pharmacy, vol. iii, page ICO, will be found an article, by Dr. Alexander Ure, upon the South American bark called the Malambo or Matias bark, a short extract of which will be found in the appendix to the U. S. Dispensatory, page 1849. Dr. Ure states in his paper, that Malambo or Matias bark is the product of a tree in Colombia, S. A., and that it was placed in his hands by Hugh Houston, Esq., which gentleman received it from Dr. Mackay, who communicated, two papers respecting it to the British Association, and mentions having procured from it by distillation two oils, one lighter than water, of a specific gravity 0-949; the other denser, of a specific gravity 1-028. He further obtained a brown, bitter extractive substance. Dr. Mackny remarked, that it had been successfully used in intermittent fever, in convalescence from continued fever, in hemicrania, dyspepsia, and a variety of chronic ailments, where tonics and stimulants were indicated; and that as an adjunct to diuretic remedies, it had been found eminently useful. Dr. Ure describes the Malambo or Matias bark to be three or four lines in thickness, brittle, though somewhat fibrous; emitting when fresh bruised an aromatic flavor, not unlike that of calamus; color of a brown hue, covered with an ash-colored tuberculous epiderm, and possessing a bitter pungent taste. With water it forms an agreeable bitter infusion; with alcohol, a powerful bitter tincture. Ether extracts from it volatile oil and resin. Heated along with hydrate of potash, free ammonia is disengaged, indicating the presence of an azotized principle. It is without astringency. It appears to coincide, as suggested to me b)T M. Guibourt, both in regard to physical and sensible properties, with Malambo, the Indian name for the bark of a tree which grows in New Granada, and which is held in high esteem among the natives as a febrifuge and stomachic. Malambo bark was analysed by M. Cadet Gassicourt, about twenty-eight years ago (Journ. de Pharmacies tom. ii, p. 372); subsequently by M. Vauquelin, who ascertained the presence of three distinct substances, namely: 1. An aromatic volatile oil. 2. A very bitter resin.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Journal of Pharmacy, 1861, Vol. 9 With us, the demand has become quite frequent of late for silver and gold coated pills, several eminent practitioners prescribing this elegant finish, and we have acquired some experience in the manipulation. The above represents an apparatus we have had turned to order from hard wood for use in this process. In rolling the pills, care is taken to use no dusting powder of any kind, and to have them moderately damp, otherwise we moisten them with a little syrup, and then introduce them into the hollow sphere along with the requisite quantity of silver or gold leaf; a rapid motion is now given to the globe, and in a few seconds the pills are removed with a clear and bright coating. One dozen pills of average size, require one sheet of foil, and larger numbers in the same proportion. Some difficulty is experienced in giving a handsome coating to pills of Quevenne's Metallic Iron, on account of their black color; this can only be obviated by the use of a larger proportion of foil, which may be objectionable as interfering with their solubility notwithstanding its extreme tenuity. The taste of the pills is of course disguised in proportion to the completeness of the coating; in dispensing, no powder is necessary, the tendency to adhere to each other being obviated. Some of the old recipes direct to use a gallipot laid against the palm of the hand, for coating pills with the foil. We have found two porcelain capsules fitted to each other, the opening at the lips being covered by the thumb, to serve a very good purpose; but there is a decided saving in the use of an apparatus as above figured, any portion of the foil not adhering to one charge of pills will be ready for the next, besides the advantage which is gained by the leverage of the handle.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 17: January, 1851 Oil of Laurel has a light amber color, a penetrating persis tent and peculiar odor, and an aromatic, somewhat bitter, and not very pungent taste, which perhaps may be called slightly camphor ous. There is nothing in the taste or smell that reminds one of copaiba. Its specific gravity is 898. Distilled carefully per se, nearly the whole passes over as a very limpid colorless volatile oil, leaving a small quantity of soft, dark-brown, transparent resin in the retort. The odor of the oil is different, but analogous to that of the oleo-resin itself. When freshly obtained its smell is sufh ciently like that emitted by good socotrine aloes, when breathed upon, to call it to mind. Its taste is like that of the native pro duct. This volatile oil is soluble in all proportion in alcohol 798, and in ether, and requires but five times its bulk of alcohol 838 for solution. It mixes readily with other volatile oils 'with fixed oil, and chloroform, and is soluble in acetone, and pyroxilic spirit. It dissolves more than its bulk of camphor with the assistance of heat, and becomes a soft crystalline solid by cooling. It dissolves resinous bodies with facility, and its ready volatility would render it a suitable Inenstruum for varnishes. A hot concentrated solution of caustic potassa has no action on it; when a globule of bright potas sium is put into a small quantity ofthe colorless oil, it has no imme diate action on it, but by standing the metal becomes surrounded by a dark-brown, transparent, resinous mass, evidently indicating the presence of oxygen in the oil. This reaction, together with its ready solubility in alcohol 838, will readily distinguish the oil from recent oil of copaiba which is unaffected by potassium, and is but slightly soluble in alcohol of the sp. Gr. Indicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1910, Vol. 82 This subject cannot be considered, even superficially, by one who comprehends, even to a degree, its outreaches, without a ques tion as to whether, by reason of the limitation of time, that which most appeals may be reached at all. Its field touches and its sub stance involves the various professions and arts of medicine, botany, chemistry, pharmacy, and biology in their many and diversified phases. But scant justice can be given to most of these, for they could not be satisfactorily treated in a volume.
