    BENZOYL-EUGENOL. (CsUa.CellaCO'-'lIsX-’OuCsIJa) Prepared by the action of benzoic acid on euKenol; it occurs in acicular crystals, melting at 70.5® C. (159® F.), free from odor and taste, insoluble in water, readily sol- uble in alcohol and ether. Recommended as an anti-tubercular. BENZOYL-GUAIACOL. See Benzosol. BENZOYL-PARA-CRESOL.

CaH4 (OH) COO.C;oH7 Synonyms: Naphthalol; Naphthosalol; Salinaphthol; Salicylicnaphthylether. Salol and betol are derivatives of salicylic acid, differing from one another in that in the former, a hydrogen atom of the salicylic acid is replaced by a phenyl group, (CeHs) while !■ the latter, it is replaced by a naphthyl group (C10H7). Betol is prepared by heating together a mixture of beta-naphthol-sodium, sodium salicylate and phosphorus oxychloride. It forms a white, inodorous and tasteless, crystalline powder, which melts at 95“C. (203° P.), almost insoluble in water, but dissolves readily in alcohol and ether. Betol is employed as an intestinal antiseptic ; it is also of value in treatment of vesical catarrh and articular rheumatism. The dose is 0.3 to 0.5 Gm. (5 to 8 grains). ALPHOL is the corresponding salicylic ester of a-naphthol. It is employed in doses of 0.5 to 1.0 Qm. (8 to 15 grains) in treatment of articular rheumatism and gonorrhoeic affections. BISMUTAL. A mixture of bismuth sodium phosphate (Bismuth Phosphate) and sodium salicyl- ate. Recommended as-an antiseptic. When used as a dusting powder it is diluted with 5 parts of starch, or as a solution 1 to 4$S; as an ointment, 10 to 20%. BISMUTH COMPOUNDS. The various organic salts of bismuth are prepared by interaetion between a solu- tion of bismuth nitrate [Bi (NOsIs] and a salt of the organic acid, the resulting bis- muth compound precipitating. In order to obtain a clear aqueous solution of bis- muth nitrate it is necessary either to dissolve the crystals, first in glycerin (2:3), then diluting with water, or to add sufficient nitric acid to the mixture of bismuth nitrate and water to effect a clear solution : in this latter instance it is necessary that the solu- tion of organic salt be slightly alkaline. Bismuth nitrate may be also dissolved in a 2h% sodium chloride solution or in acetic or diluted nitric acid. These basic bismuth com- pounds are decomposed by acids. ALBV'.)riN'A TE. A pale gray or white insoluble powder, containing about 0% of bismuth. Employed in gastric and intestinal cramps, in doses of 0.5 to 1 Gm. (8 to 15 grains). BENZOATE (Sub-Benzoate.) BKCuHsCOals. BKOIDg. By the heat of a water bath. 20 parts of bismuth nitrate Bi(NOs)3 are dissolved in 30 parts of glycerin, then diluted with 70 parts of water and poured slowly into a solution of 20 parts of sodium benzoate in 1,000 paits of water. (This order must not be reversed). The resulting preiupitate is washed with warm water until the washings no longer react for nitric acid (Diphenylamine T. S ), then dried at a temperature not above 80° C. Bismuth ben- zoate forms a white insoluble powder, which is employed as a dusting powder for torpid ulcers; also used internally, being preferred by many to bismuth salicylate. CERIUM-SALICYLATE forms an insoluble, pink-colored powder, being a valu- able remedy in the treatment of diseases of the gastric and intestinal mucous mem- branes. Dose 1 to 2 Gm. (15 to 30 grain? '
