DUaiation of thepvpil is cfftcttd most spccdHi/ and Is lonr/est maintain'd //// a solution ofiliis kind. A fall drop must ht placi d in the eye bij iiurins of a camel's-luiir pencil : ilie cjl'cct loill he produced in from jifttcn to twenty viinutes, and will sometimes continue for seven or ei'jht days. The official Liquor Athopi.tj Sulphatis coutains lialf a piaiu of tlie salt iu each drachm. It is preferable to the Liquor Atropite for ophthalmic purposes; inasmuch as the spirit which is used iu the latter to keep the alkaloid iu solution causes considerable pain to iho eyes when it is applied. Discs of gelatiue impreguated with atropine are prepared according to the iustruetious of Mr. Ernest H.\et and Mr. Streatfelld. Theso discs dissolve and act very efficiently when placed in contact with tho moist conjunctiva. A piece, one-fifth of an inch square, conuius as much of the Sulphate of Atropine as a drop of the solution of two grain.-; to the ounce of water. Such discs, dissolved iu water, are also very convenient for hypodermic injections. 288«. Horn atropine. Ilomatropine is obtained by chemical processes from atropine. It very rapidly and powerfully paralyses the accommodation and dilates the pupil. It has tho special advantage that both effects pass away much more rapidly than when atropine is used. The solution used fcV instillation into tho eye is a watery solution of 1 srraius to the fluid ounce. 289. Biihoisia. Extracti DuboiScO Aquosi, gr. 21; Aquaj I>estillata3, fl. oz, 1. Dis- solve.

An alkaloid, lJuboisine has been prepared from it, wliich bears a very strotiff resemblance to atropine. .Solutions of JJuboisine tf the strrn;itli of 4f/rains to the ounce are powerfully mydriatic, but have on several occasions produced unpleasant to.cic symjitoms. 290.
