    CAJUPUTOL. See Eucalyptol. CALCIUM BORATE. Obtained by interaction between aqueous solutions of borax and calcium chloride. Recommended as an antiseptic dusting-powder in treatment of moist eczema, burns, etc.;likewiseinternally in dosesof 0.3 toU.4Gm. (3to 0 grains) for diarrhoea of children. CALCIUM PERMANGANATE. Deliquescent brown needles, decomposing readily when in contact with organic substances. It is claimed to be a more powerful bactericide than corrosive sublimate. CALCIUM SALICYLATE. [ <coo]2^^+2HaO Salicylic acid is neutralized with an equivalent amount of calcium carbonate (free from iron) in the presence of hot water, the filtered solution is then evaporated and crystallized. Calcium salicylate forms a white.crystalline powder, inodorous and taste- less, almost insoluble in cold water. It is employed in the diarrhoea of children in gastro-enteritis, the dose being 0.5 to 1.5 Gm. (8 to 24 grains). CALCIUM SULPHOPHENATE (SULPHOCARBOLATE). repared by neutralizing sulphocarbolic acid with calcium carbonate. It forms a white, almost inodorous, stable, astringeut. bitter powder, freely soluble in water and alcohol. Recommended because of its strong antiseptic, disinfectant and astringent properties, given internally in \% aqueous solution. CALOLACTOSE. An intestinal disinfectant, said to consist of a mixture of calomel (1), bismuth sub- nitrate (1), and lactose (8). CAMPHOID. This is prepared by dissolving pyroxylon, 1 part, in a solution of 30 parts of cam- phor in alcohol. It constitutes a thick, colorless fluid, which, because of its rapidity in drying, leaving a thin film when applied to the skin, serves as an excellent vehicle for iodoform, chrysarobin. etc. - CAMPHOPYRAZOLON. CirHaoNaO. This is a compound of phenyl-hydrazine and campho-carboxylic acid. It occurs in fine crystalline needles, melting at 133° C. (269.6° P.). insoluble in water and ether, soluble in alcohol. Campho-pyrazolon is proposed as a substitute for camphor. CAMPHOR, NAPHTHOL. See Beta-Naphthol Camphor. CAMPHOR, PHENYLATED. See Phenol Camphor. CAMPHOR SALICYLATE. This is prepared by fusing together 84p. of camphor and 65p. of sdicylic acid, which solidifies to a crystalline mass. It may be obtained in well formed crystals by recrystallization from benzol. Soluble 1 in 20 in the fatty oils ; almost insoluble in water and glvcerin. Employed externally in ointment form as an application in lupus and various skin diseases, internally in treatment of certain diarrhceal com- plaints. Dose 0.05 to 0.25 Gm. (4-5 to 3.8 grains). CAMPHOR, SALOL. See under Salol. CAMPHORIC ACID. CsHhCCOOH);,. This is a dibasic acid obtained by the action of hot nitric acid on camphor. forms white, at 186.5° C. (368°PO It is soluble in 200 parts of cold and 10 parts of boiling water ; very soluble in alcohol. It is employed in treatment of night sweats of consumptives, likewise in acute and chronic disease's of the respiratory tract. The dose is from 1 to 1.5 Gm. (15 to ~4 grains ) When applied topically it is used in a solution of from 1 to 4^ strength. CAMPHORONIC ACID. Celln (COOIDs Syn'nym; Iso-propyl carbylic Acid. Obtained by the oxidation of campholic acid. It forms soluble white needles, hygroscopic ; melts at 136“ C, (276.8“ P.) Recommended as an antiseptic. CANNABIN, An alkaloid isolated from Cannabis Saliva, or Indian Hemp. Cannabin forms a brown, syrupy liquid, which is employed as a hypnotic, the dose being 0.06 to 0.3 Gm, (I to 5 grains).
