    ABSENO-TABTRATE. A stable, soluble arsenic salt, recommended as a substitute for potassium arsenite aud arsenous acid. One Gm. equals 0.3223 Gm. arsenous acid. AUBO-CHLOBID. AuCl3.NaCl I 'Z\IJ>. A double salt of gold and sodium chlorid, form- ing a golden-yellow, hygroscopic powder, readily soluble iu water and partly in alcohol. Em- ployed in syphilitic affections, the dose being 0.016-0.06 Gm. (J., 1 gr.). BISMUTH CITBO-PYBOBOBA TE. Occurs in form of glistening leaflets, soluble in water, insoluble iu alcohol. Employed iu dyspepsia and gastralgia. BORATE, NEUTRAL (Bourgeois). Prepared by neutralizing a solution of boric- acid with borax. A powerful and non-irritant antiseptic for surgical and ophthalmologic pu BORO-BENZOATE. Consists of borax, 3 parts, and sodium benzoate, 4 parts, which are dissolved together in water and evaporated to dryness. CA COBYLA TE. See Sodium Kakodylate. CAFFEIN SULFATE. Synonyms: Sodium Caffein Sulfonate; Symphoral-sodium. Rec- ommended as a diuretic in dropsy and obesity. Dose, 1-4 Gm. daily. CANTHARIDINA TE. Cantbaridin, 0.2 Gm., and sodium hydrate, 0.3 Gm., are dissolved in 20 Cc. of distilled water with aid of heat. The solution is made up to 100U Cc. Used by Liebreich subcutaneously for tuberculosis of the throat. Dose, 0.5 Gm. (8 minims) of the above solution, corresponding to 0.0002 Gm. (3-JT gr.). CHLORO-BORA TE is obtained by reaction between boron terchlorid and sodium hydrate. It forms a soluble, white, crystalline powder, possessing powerful antiseptic properties. CINNAMATE. (C6H5CH=CHCOONa). A white, crystalline powder, soluble in water. Recommended in 5 per cent, sterilized solutions, hypodermically aud internally, in treatment of tuberculosis. CITRO-BENZOATE. A white powder, easily soluble in water, very sparingly soluble in alcohol. Used for bronchitis and asthma. CITRO-PHOSPHATE. Synonym: Melachol. Sodium phosphate 100 parts, sodium nitrate 2 parts, and citric acid 13 parts, are rubbed up together until a homogeneous fluid results, which is then mixed with 100 parts distilled water. The solution is used for liver complaints. CRESYLATE. An alkaline salt, which is used as antiseptic for the same purposes as cresylic acid. DI-IODO-SALICYLATE. [C6H2(OH)T2. + COONa]2 + 5H20. Diiodosalicylic acid is ob- tained by the action of iodin and iodic acid on salicylic acid in alcoholic solution ; the sodium salt of this acid is obtained by neutralization with sodium carbonate. This salt forms white, crystalline scales, which are soluble in 50 parts of water. Employed as an analgesic, antipyretic, and antiseptic in doses of 0.5-1 Gm. (8-15 gr.). DIOXID. Na202. Synonym: Sodium Peroxid. A white powder soluble in water. Used by dentists for bleaching teeth from which the nerve-pulp has been removed; also for disinfec- tion of the root-canals. DI-THIO-SALIOYLATE, I. and II. See Di-thio-salicylic Acid. ETHOXY-PHENYL-SUCCINAMID. See Sodium Phenosuccinate. ETHYLATE, CH3.CH2ONa, is formed by the action of metallic sodium upon absolute alcohol. It forms a white powder, of caustic taste, soluble in alcohol and water. Employed in treatment of psoriasis, lupus, etc., painting the parts witha 10 per cent, aqueous solution. ETHYLSULFATE. NaC2H5S04. Prepared by neutralizing with sodium carbonate a mixture of absolute alcohol and concentrated sulfuric acid, decanting and concentrating the clear solution, and finally recrystallizing from alcohol. It forms plates, which are soluble in water and hot alcohol. Employed as cathartic. FLUORID. Synonym: Fluorol. Prepared by neutralizing hydrofluoric acid with sodium carbonate or hydrate. A white, crystalline powder, without odor, and having a saline taste; soluble in water. It is employed in epilepsy, intermittent fever, and tuberculosis of children. Externally it is an excellent antiseptic .in eye affections, where it is preferred to formal, silver nitrate, aud corrosive sublimate. The dose in epilepsy and intermittents is 0.005-0.01 Gm. (r2~B &r.), given in a solution of sodium bicarbonate. For gargles in infectious diseases and for irrigation of the bladder in cystitis catarrhalis 0.5-1 per cent, solutions are employed. In tuber- culosis of children the dose is 0.1-5 Mg. (^b-vs gr.). GLYCERO-PHOSPHATE. C,H703 PO (ONa), + H20. Occurs as a clear 50 per cent, solution of light yellow color, miscibie with water in all proportions. Employed in convales- cence, nervous asthma, and in cases where the system needs phosphorus; also in lumbago aud morbus Basedowii. Dose, 0.2-0.25 Gm. (3-4 gr.) a day, subcutaneously. In eases where it is sub- stituted for jaborandi, when the latter is objectionable, injections of 0.3-0.5 Gm. (5-8 gr.) a day are administered on each side of the lumbar region. GL YCOCHOLA TE. (C26H43lSr06 Na). Used to promote the secretion of gall. GUAIACOL-CARBONATE. Synonym: Sodium Methoxysalicylate. Prepared by neu- tralizing guaiacol-carbonic acid with sodium carbonate free from iron in dilute alcoholic solution. A white powder soluble in water. Similar to sodium salicylate in physiologic action, but milder and free from side effects. GYNOCARDATE. A yellowish-white powder, easily soluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol. Used with success for lepra. Dose, 2-4 Gin. (15-30 gr.). HIPPURATE. Used for excess of uric acid in the system. Said to be more vigorous in its action than salicylic acid and its compounds, and without evil after-effects. ICHTHYOL-SULFONA TE. See under Ichthyol. IODATE. See Iodic Acid. KAKODYLATE. As(CH3)2ONa. A white, amorphous powder, soluble in water. Bee- ommended in psoriasis in doses of 0.25 Gm. (4 gr.) daily per os, and 0.1 Gm. (l^gr.) daily subcutaneously.
