The wool of sheep contains alaree per cent, of fats (about 4-5^) which it is necessary to remove before it can be used in manufacturine. These fats consist of a mixture of fatty esters of cholesterin and isocholesterin. The crude wool fat, which is usually obtained by washing the wool with benzine, acetone or some similar solvent and evaporating, is emulsionized with a weak alkaline solution, then separating the creamy mixture in centrifugal machines; the upper layer of fluid contains the cholesterin fats, while the lower layer consists of a soap solution of the impure fatty acids. The upper fluid is drawn off and the cholesterin fats set free by the addition of a solution of calcium chloride; the impure lanolin thus obtained is purified by re- peated melting and washing, finally extracting with acetone. Anhydrous wool-fat is of a pale yellow color, somewhat translucent, melting at 36® C. (96 8® F.), readily soluble in benzine, ether, chloroform, acet one. but only partly soluble in alcohol. When mixed with 30 per cent, of water it constitutes the hydrous wool-fat of the Pharmacopoeia. Hydrous wool-fat occurs as a nearly white ointment-like mass, the surface of which’, on standing, becomes of an orange color, due to loss of water. Its melting point is about 40° C. (104° F.); it is miscible with twice its weight of water without losing its ointment-like character. Wool-fat is employed as a base for the preparation of ointments, pomades, creams, etc. ADH/CSOL. An antiseptic varnish, recommended as a substitute for Steresol. It contains 350 parts copal resin. 30 parts of benzoin. 30 parts of Tolu balsam, 20 parts of thyme oil, 3 parts of alpha naphthol. and 1,000 parts of ether. ADONIDIN. A glucoside of the Adonis vernalis; forms a hygroscopic, inodorous, amorphous powder, intensely bitter. It is employed as a cardiac stimulant and mild diuretic in doses of 0.004 to 0.016 Gm. (1-16 to ^ grain.) , ADONIN. A glucosidal principle obtained from the herb Adonis vernalis. It is a bitter, yel- lowish-white, hygroscopic powder, soluble in water and alcohol, insolunle in ether. Employed as a cardiac stimulant, being feebly diuretic; dose 0.01—0.06 Gr. (1-6—1 grain.
