    ZEMATONE. An anti-asthmatic powder made up of potassium nitrate 22 parts, hyoscyamut and Mra- monium, each, 8 parts, solatium niger, 4 parts, belladonna leaves, C parts, grindelia robosta, US parts, white agaric, 5 parts, papaver (fruct.j, 5 parts. ZINC COMPOUNDS. BORATE. Z11B4O7 + 7H80. (Telrabora/e.) Prepared by interaction between hot '•'.lo- tions of 5 parts of zinc sulfate in 50 parts of water and 4 parts of borax in 100 parts of water. An amorphous, white powder, which is employed as an antiseptic dusting-powder for iroun CALCIUM CYANJD. ZnCa(CN)4. White crystals, soluble in water. CHRYSOl'IIANATE. Forms a brownish-red powder, which is readily soluble in water which has been rendered slightly alkaline. Recommended as an antiseptic dusting-powder. CYANID. White powder, insoluble in water. Used for chorea, dysmenorrhea, gastralgia, palpitation, and pain in cardiac region, in doses of 0.005 Gin. (fa gr.), several times daily, in pill form. GYNOCARDATE. A yellow, granular powder, insoluble in water and dilute acids, readily soluble in alcohol and ether. Recommended in treatment of psoriasis, prurigo, and other skin diseases. HEMOL. See under Hemol. ICIITHYOL-SULFONATE. (C28H36S306H)Zn2. Prepared by neutralizing free ichtbyol- sulfonic acid with zinc oxid. Uses the same as other ichthyol preparations. IODA TE. See Iodic Acid. MERCURIC-CYANID. Zn4Hg(CN)10. A white, insoluble powder recommended as a non-irritating antiseptic. PERMANGANATE. Occurs in crystals closely resembling those of the potassium salt; hygroscopic and soluble in water. This salt is employed in all instances where zinc sulfate is indicated, its solution being of the strength 0.05 Gm. to 200 Cc. of water (f7B gr. to 6.8 lid. oz.). Care should be taken not to triturate this salt with organic substances or dispense it in solutions containing alcohol or organic extracts.* SALICYLATE. (C7H503)2Zn + H20. Sodium salicylate 34 parts and zinc sulfate 29 parts are boiled for a short time with 125 parts of water; on cooling, a solid crystalline mass separates, which, after washing with a little cold water, is recrystallized. Forms colorless crys- tals, which are soluble in 25.2 parts of cold and readily in boiling water, soluble in 36 parts of ether and 3.5 parts of alcohol. Recommended as antiseptic dusting-powder and wash in various skin diseases. SOZOIDOL. (C6H2I2(OH)S03)2Zn + 6H20. See under Sozoiodol. SOZOIODOLATE. (C6HJ2(OH)S03)2Zn + 6H20. Forms colorless needles, which are used in 2 per cent, solution in treatment of gonorrhea. In nasal catarrh a 10-15 per cent, dust- ing-powder is employed. STEARATE. Zn(C]8Ha,Oo)2. A white, insoluble powder, of feeble antiseptic and a strong astringent action. Used in gonorrhea and in rhinologic practice. In gonorrhea it is combined with menthol (5 parts to 20 parts zinc stearate) and introduced into the urethra by means of a glass tube after emptying the bladder and cleansing the urethra with water. As a snuff for the nose, a mixture of zinc stearate 15 parts and europhen 5 parts is used. SUB GALL ATE is an odorless, non-toxic, non-irritant, greenish-gray, neutral powder, insoluble in the ordinary solvents, containing44 per cent, of zinc oxid and 56 per cent, of gallic acid. Used internally and externally. Internally it is recommended in doses of %-4 gr. (0.03- 0.25 Gm.) in fermentive disorders of the intestines and in night-sweats. Externally it has been used in eczema, fresh and septic wounds, otorrhea, gonorrhea, and hemorrhoids. It is applied pure or diluted with indifferent powders or ointments. As an injection, it is suspended in water and mucilage, 1: 16. SULFHYDRATE. Zn(SH)2. A white precipitate, which should be kept, under water, since it readily decomposes on becoming dry. Recommended by Barduzzi externally and inter- nally in the treatment of chronic eczema, psoriasis, and vegeto-parasitic dermatoses. Internally the dose is 0.03-0.13 Gm. (%-2 gr.), externally in ointment form (10 per cent.), combined with lanolin and lard (2: 3). SULFTTE. ZnS03.2H20. Prepared by mixing aqueous solutions of zinc sulfate and sodium sulfite. White, crystalline powder, very sparingly soluble in water. Used to impregnate bandages. SULFOCARBOLATE. C6H4(OH)SOs)2Zn + 8H20. By the action of concentrated sulfuric acid on phenol at 90° C. para-phenol-sulfonic acid is formed; this is neutralized with barium carbonate, and the resulting barium sulfocarbolate, on being brought into reaction with an equivalent amount of zinc sulfate in solution, yields zinc sulfocarbolate and the insoluble barium sulfate. The filtrate is evaporated and crystallized. This salt forms colorless, rhombic prisms or scales, soluble in water and alcohol. Employed as an antiseptic wash in all instances where zinc sulfate or carbolic acid is indicated. ZOMAKYNE. A proprietary antipyretic and analgesic. ZUCKERIN. A synonym for Saccharin. ZYMOIDIN (Rosenberg). Said to be composed of the oxids of zinc, bismuth, and aluminum with iodin, boric acid, carbolic acid, gallic acid, salicylic acid, quinin, etc. Recommended as an antiseptic in the form of dusting-powder, ointment, solution, or bougie. * See Coblentz' Hand-book of Pharmacy, pp. 392-396.
