In the following pages are enumerated the crude drugs and such other articlesofmateria med ica as are of organic nature and which at the same time aremarketedby us either in the form of the crude artic le, or preparations therefrom , or both.A ttached to the name of each is a brief statement of its reputed medi cinal propertiesand its dose, together with a descriptive l ist of the derivative pharmaceutical pre

parations and compounds into which it enters as a therapeutic factor. A t a glancecan be thus seen almost all themethods or combinations known to modern pharmacyby which the exhibition of any desired remedy is made availab le. So far as is

practicable, however, decoctions and infusions have been discarded since they are

universally acknowledged to be obsolete. Some preparations indicated arenot listedby us, but in these cases the formulaeare given by which they may be prepared ex

temporaneously with.

others which are listed . A complete and classified list of allour preparations and pharmaceutical specialties will be found in the appendix.

A s Parke, Davis C ompany , M anufacturing Pharmacists, we claim that all

products of our Laboratory , chemical and pharmaceutical , are prepared in themost

conscientious manner by the latest and most approved processes, and from most

carefu lly selected drugs .

0 ! the various c lasses of pharmaceutical preparations mentioned special noteson fluid extracts, normal liquids and concentrations are alone considered necessary—these wil l be found below .

FLU ID E xraAcrs—There is an urgent and general demand that the relativestrengths of the fluid preparations of pharmacy be simplified and that many of

the dilute ones be dropped altogether . Tinctures , infusions , wines, syrups, etchaveno uniform and well -understood ratio of strength either dosimetric or pharmametric, and therecollection of dose, etc.

, is burdensome to the memory . The use of

fluid extracts does away with th is inconvenience. Having a strength so adjusted thateach mimim represents a grain , all that remains foraprescriber to know is thedoseofthe standard crude drug. Tinctures , wines , etc.

,may be thereupon made by simply

using the proper diluent and to the amount necessary to exhibit a desired thera

peutie efiect , or to extemporaneously prepare a weaker preparation. Thismethod ,

it general ly adopted , would much simplify pharmacy and also—amuchmore import

ant matter—relieve the physician and pharmacist of the burden of carry ing so manydiiferent preparations of thesame drug ; and, by retaining one only and that themost

accurate and scientific one, the probability of dispensing stale and deteriorated fluidswould be at a minimum . We cannot here, however ,

do more than merely point outtheeconomic and scientific advantages to be gained from a more extended use of

this c lass of preparations.

It is occasional ly a matterofsomeimportance with physician and druggist toknow thebehavior of certain fluid

.

extrac ts on mixing them with water— the fluidwhich is generally used as a diluent . W hen an option is allowed between the use of

IV PR E FA C E .

two ormore, ifotherthingsbeequal , that onewillpreferab ly be takenwhichwillmakethe most el egant compound . For the convenience and reference of prescribers anddispensers there is attached to thenameof each fluid extractmentioned in the following pages an index of its miscibility with water. There are four different grades of

classification indicated, namely : 1. M iscible with water ; 2 . M iscib le with waterwithoutmaterial precipitation ; 3. Not m iscib le with water without some precipi

tation ; 4 . Notmiscib lewith water.

NOR MAL M ourns —TheU . S . Pharmacopoeia has omitted to provide for a scien~

tific standard in the determination of the strength of the official flu id extracts . It

is not sufficient that, prepared by its directions, one cubic centimeter of any fluid extract should represent onegramme of the drug employed . A crude drug , supposedto be of prime quality judged by its physical appearance, may be found to be eithermuch above the averageor notoriously inert when tested for the presenceof its activeprinciple, and since no test for the quality of the drug in this respect is demanded , it

follows that the therapeutic exhibition of the average fluid extract must be aecompanied with a sim ilar uncertainty and variation in effects.

In this con‘nection wepart icularly emphasize the fact that by the introductionofournormal liquids the superiorstandard ofour fluid extracts is in nowise affected .

A s heretofore, they are prepared from fu ll quantities and of the best materials, andmanufactured with the utmost care and accuracy . Indeed , as an extra precautionover and above the requirements of the U. S . P. , we test all crude drugs by assay

wherever practicab le. Whateverof discrimination is asked in favorof normal liquidsis based solely upon the om ission of thePharmacopoeia to recognize the fact that theonly trueand scientific test of a fluid extract is the presence of a standard amount

ofactive principle actual ly ascertained in the finished product , —strength should not

alone be determined as at present, by the quantity of drug employed . Normalliquids were introduced by us to satisfy the demand for fluid extracts that cou ld bedepended upon to represent a definite and uniform alkaloidal strength and to possessa definite and invariab le basis of therapeutic value.

C ONC ENTR A TIONS .—Thesehad theirorigin in thedemand on thepart ofphysicians

forvegetab le remedies of concentrated strength , in the form ofpermanent powders, inorder that a wel l assorted supply might be carried in thepocket or saddle case. Thisc lassof preparations then was naturally introduced to noticeby manufacturers , and

their use extended rapid ly among the profession who were not slow to perceive theirunquestionablemerits .

T he nomenclature of concentrations , so-cal led ,has been formed by adding the

amx in to theroot of the botan ical name of the plant from which it is derived ,thus

.

conveying the impression that the preparation is the active principle of thatp lant , since chemists had already adopted this method of designating principlespeculiar to any plant or genus of plants. C hemists now also distinguish furtherbetween alkaloids and neutral principles (g lucosides, etc.) by addingin the formercase a final 8 to the termination.

T he names which have been adopted for the concentrations are, therefore,eitherwholly inappropriate and m islead ing, or they have a dangerous similarity tothose of theactive principles themselves of the same drugs, of which they

,

actuallycontain only 5 to 10per cent. Wedo not hold ourselves responsible for thepram?“

PR E FA C E .

nomenc lature, and a radical change therein can only be made by concerted act ionbetween themanufacturers and themedical profession . We have ventured in some

cases to adopt certain innovations, not for the sake of distinguishing preparations ofour own manufacture from others in themarket , but simply as a safeguard againstserious mistakes in dispensing. Thus we label the concentrations from aconiteandbel ladonna, A C ONAPE LLIN , no t aconitin , and esm nonm , instead of atrOp in , sincethese latter in the ordinary nomenclature might easily be taken for the alkaloidsaconite and atropine, articles at least ten times as powerful . Wedo not c laim for

thesenames any exc lusive proprietorship.

The advantages offered bv concentrations over other preparations of vegetabledrugs are sufficiently obvious. They are, briefly : l st. C oncentration of strength ;2d . The form of a permanent powder ; 3d . C onvenience for dispensing at the bedsideof thepatient.

Valid objections are urged against them on the ground of their unscientificnomenclature and of the lack of any authoritative standard to which even theirphy sica l properties must conform . Preparations from different manufacturers bearing the same label are total ly unlike in properties and composition ,

each one being alaw unto himself. We have aimed in our concentrations to present all the activeconstituents of each drug , excluding as far as possible, inert matter; and when our

preparations difier from those of othermanufacturers.wearewilling that they shouldbe ju dged by their therapeutic efllciency .

C onnected with our Laboratory is a Scientific Department of experts in the

various branches of the scienceof pharmacology themembers ofwhich are devotinga life-time to the carefu l study of the physical , chemical and therapeutic propertiesof drugs The object of this department is also to in terest men of science abroad

in the investigation of new therapeutic agents, for which we have frequently donatedthematerial for experimentation ,

in order that they might be introduced on a scientificbasis with as ful l and correct

‘

physiological reports aspossible, for theprescriber’

s

guidance. We can point with satisfaction to the results as published in reports

on investigations madewith our assistance by such men as Professors Dragendorff,Podwissotzki , Gerhardt, Schatz , Liebreich , Langgaard , Senator, R obert , etc and to

the numerous drugs of valuewhich we have been instrumental in introducing, suchas Black-haw , C ascara sagrada , Kava-kava, Grindelia robusta.Pich i,Yerba santa,etc.

In the compilation of this book the dosage of our preparations , botanical nomen

clature employed , and other information contained have received special and careful revision by our Scientific Department and we trust , in presenting this to our

friends , to have rendered them a service by placing in their hands a book of

reference to which they may frequently and confidently refer for in formation .

T he remedy has proved efl‘icient in so many cases , however, that it is

worthy of a. trial where obesity appears to be associated with serousplethora .

The cases in which Fucus vesi culosus shows its most decided beneficialeffects arewomen , in whom there exists usually some menstrual derangement , as menorrhagia and leucorrhoea, owing to an aton ic and flabby condition of the uterine tissue . In such cases an improvement in these loca lderangements usually precedes the general reduction of fat and the improved ton icity of the general system .

—Corn ergot closely resembles in its medicinal propert ies theergot ofrye; and has been considered , by many practitioners, to be quiteas efficient and more uniform than the latter. The uterine contract ionfrom ergot is tonic ; that from usti lago seems to be regularly intermittent . If this proves to be a constant peculiarity in the action of the drug ,it is like ly to prove a more serviceab le agent in labor than ergot itsel f.It wi ll give less pain to the mother, less danger to her in its administrat ion , and also less danger to the child .

It has been pronounced superior to ergot in passive hemorrhages , andalso very efiectual in spermatorrhoea,

psoriasis, eczema, fibro id tumors

and al lied affections .

Corn-silk has been recently introduced on the recommendation of veryeminent authorities as a remedy in inflammatory affections of the b ladder, acute or chronic, idiopathic or traumatic . It is diuret ic, demulcentand antiseptic in its action , and is reported to be especially valuable incases in which decomposition of the ur ine takes p lace in theb lad der,giving rise to ves ical irri tation .

It is believed to have a specificaction on the uterus , and is employed for there lief of painful affectionsof. that organ, and is even be lieved to be capab le of inducing abortions .

The drug contains an alkaloidal principle , but its pecu liar pungent properties reside in its oleoresin , and doubtless closely connected with itsmedicinal activity . We solicit from physicians reports of such clinicalexperience as they may possess, or be able to record .

is a product of a tree well k nown in the E ast Indiesfor its ed ible fruit . Al l parts of theplant areastringent . T he juice ofthe fresh bark and leaves ismuch used by the native physicians in diar

rhoeas , especially of children, and the bark is employed in the preparat ion of astringent injections, gargles and lotions . T he root and seedsalsoare used in a similarmanner. Recently thediscovery wasmade thatboth the bark and seeds possess the unique property of arresting the formation of sugar in diabetes , the seeds, however, being slightly more cihcient . Cl inical experiments conducted both in E ngland and in Americaconfirm this discovery , which is one of great importance . The drugmay not provea specific in all cases of diabetes, but in those at least de~

pending on increased production of g lucose , it promises to be of the

greatest value . E xperiment has demonstrated that it has a positiveinhibitory influence upon theaction of diastatic ferments . T hus, in twoexperiments conducted under the same conditions , a given amount ofmalt extract converted 22 4 grains of starch into sugar in absence of

jambul, but only 6 .3 grains in its presence .

accompanied by incoherent dreams, the drinker not being quarrelsomeor excited . A s a remedy for gonorrhma, two or three doses should begiven during the day , each with a ful l goblet of water. It is said thattwenty minutes after thefirst dose, a pressing desire to urinate is experi

sneed . T he quantity of urine is abundant , and it becomes as limpid and

as clear almost as water. Thepain that was present during thepreviousmicturitions disappears , and a sensation of comfort is experienced inurinating . Kava, moreover, acts like a bitter tonic .

NUMBERED FORMULA LIST

OFSOME ELEGANT.CONVENIENT AND SCIENTIFIC

armaceutica re arations.

We solicit the patronage of physicians and pharmacists for these in consideration 01:

mt. Pharmaceutica l accuracy .—We guarantee that they contain all themed

icinal agents , and in such proportions, as stated on our labels.

ad . Palatabz’

lz’

ty .—T hey are as palatable as may pomibly be exhibited with

due regard for medicinal activity and pharmaceutical accuracy.

3d . No informa t ion is afforded on the labels or bymeans of circu lars , that

w il l induce or stimulate their use by the laity .

Our formula: for masking the taste of,the active principles in preparations

such as elixirs, syrups , wines, etc. , are the result of careful study and patient experiment, and so confident are we that they areunsurpassed for the object contemplated ,that

,when a preparation, claiming to contain an equal percentage of active med

icinal principles, is more palatable, we at once suspect a discrepancy between the

claims on the label and the actual contents of the bottle, and invite a comparativeanalysis. Whi le we regard palatability as important, we hold med icinal virtue tobeparamount, and deprecate the dishonesty which sacrifices the latter for the former.

No new pri nciple is involved in our ureometer . T he urea is decomposed as us bytheaction of an alkal ine solution of chlori neor bromineL

By this comb ined pressure the organ is enabled to resume i ts naturalposnion .

We are assured that i n D r. W i lson's Supporter are comb ined all the featuresessential to a satisfactory in strument , and beg to enumerate below the reasons whichform the basis of our op in ion .

T he supporter (w i thout the pessary) is perfect and complete in itself, consisting ofback and abd om inal pad s , connected by elast ic bands and peri neal or thigh straps . I ti s thus adm irab ly adapted to the less severe g rades of d isp lacements .

T he stem of the pessary is made of German silver, plated w i th silver, and can beeasily bent to fit any person . T he cup, composed of cel luloid . is so shaped as to carrythe uterus w i th the greatest possible comfort

,the support being natural and w i thout

pressure upon the os uteri , or urethra . I rr itat ion of the parts, which so frequently t esults from the u se of other instruments , is thus avoided .

T he pos it ion of the pessary on thew iremay be read ily changed w ith li ttle effort .In this manner i t may be ad justed to meet the requirements of the vary ing degrees ofretroversion and an teversion , a desideratum which the general practi tioner w i l l fullyappreciate. i llustrated circu lar furnished on appl ication .

WEIGHT AND M EASURE EQUIV ALENTS .

T hese Tables , for the use of physicians , chemists, pharmacists and others, aredesigned to economize t imeand labor, and ensure accuracy i n calculations relatingtoWeight and M easure.

A UNIT of each denominat ion of apothecaries‘and avo ird upo is weights, Wineand

imperial measums, as also the metric gram , cub ic centimeter and liter , and thecub ic i nch are represented by equivalent quantities being g iven i n every importantdenomination ofeach system ; beginning with the lowest denominati on , and fo llowing by the next largerm yely . T his plan and arrangement not only render the“tables“ convenient and susceptible of all the varied uses that the quantities arecapableof, but simplifies and shortens nearly all calculat ions tomeremult iplication.

M ultiples of several of themore useful denominat ions are also tabulated .

Whenmaking useof theequivalents, formost practical purposes, oneormoreofof thefigures beyond thedecimal point may be dropped , - according to the degreeo f accuracy required or, ifany figureof the second or third decimal place is five

ormore, theproceeding figurecan be i ncreased by one. T hesamemethod can applyto the results of calculations.

To Convert T roy Ounces into A voirdupo is Ounces.It is required forexample to convert 28 tr. ozs. into av . ozs. Th is may be done

by ascertaining the tr. oz . equivalent from the tab le, that is, and this X28T his differs but very sl ightly from 23 X1 . 1 (which is the sameas adding 14 0)

so that forall practical purposes theadd it ion of 1-10wi ll transform tr. one.

into av. 038.

To Convert A voirdupois Ounces into T roy Ounces.S imilarly to the forego i ng , instead of consulti ng the table of equivalents, it is

useful at times to remember that deducting 1-11 from a number representing av.ozs.

wil l g ive theequivalent weight in tr. ozs . Thus, tak ing the result of the prev iousexample; av . one , howmany tr. ozs . ? — 1-11 or 23 tr. ozs.

To Estimate Cost.Find the commercial equivalent of a unit of the given denomination ; multiply

by the required quant ity , then by the cost ; thus, a. formula d irects 30Gm . of a sub

stance valued at BOcents an av . os . , theequivalent of 1Gm. in av . os. , is .(Bfiaand

this x80X80 .w .pract ically 85 cents cost. When formulaeexpress quantities inthe troyouncedenomination , and values are quoted for the av. ih. , use the

“special

table of troyounce i n av . lb. equivalents ; thus , 7 troyounces .48av . lb. Xlb . value.

It a.formuladlrects fluid measure, and the price is 1quoted for the pint , pursue thesame generalmethod ; using the special table of fl . oz. in pint equivalents , whenconvenient .

ARA SAGRADA .—( See page Havi been instrumental in the introcA s

(

cizuction of Cascara Se ada and

’

identifled Wi it since its advent in 1877, welong since recognized t e necessi ty of a more thorough acquaintance w ith thetrue constitution of this valuable remedy . It is to be regretted that themanyinsiduous attacks l

Eyinterestedparties upon its therapeutic merits, and u 11

our preparat ions 0 it, have raised a uestion of doubt as to theactual iden ityand pro rties of the drug in themin ofmany physicians unfamil iar with itsuse. T e statement has been made that preparations alleged to be fromCascara Sagrada are really compounds of Rhamnus Frangula, aloes. nux vom~

ice. and other improper addit ions . Cases of miscarriage , attributable to theuse of certain preparations in the marke

a

t

cpurporting to be from Cascara

Sagrada,have been clearly traced to the ion of aloes. T hat certain pre

parations of Cascara in the market do contain aloes , we are in a posit ion toprove. We are confident that our reputat10n is a sufficient guarantee thatreparations which we offer are free from any tore1gh admixture. W ith thisBy way ofa

pology ,

we have 110 hes itancy in asking theattention of physiciansto what we urther state upon the subject .

0During the past yearwe have devoted our best energ1es towards obtain ing a

satisfactory solution of the pecu liarities and sometimes contradi ctory behaviorof this drug , both in the hands of the pharmacist and physician. T his hasinduced a careful reconsideration and revision of all previous work , and we arep leased to say that we have succeeded in our ob ect after an expend iture ofconsiderab le t ime and arduous labor. Our work as been an interesting one,

and the results obtained are a matter of surprise , and in offering preparationsmanufactured after our new formula to themed ical

Iprofession , we have to say

that the principal object which has been secured is t e removal of the extremeb itterness, which has been a very objectionable feature as urged against ourregular fluid extract Cascara Sagrada. Our former products were bitter,changeab le—owing to the peculiar characteristics of

_

the bark 1tself—and butpartially soluble in water; whi le occasionally , 1n ind1v1dual cases, they wouldvary somewhat in therapeutic action .

Inasmuch as prepara tions in which the b1tterness has been developed may at

t imes be prefera le or desirab le, we shal l continue to manufacture preparat ions of Cascara Sagrada by ourold formulae , which preparat ions can alwaysbe obtained from us or from the trade generally by proper specification. But

that there may be no misunderstand ing or confusion we shall designate our

improved preparations, manufactured after the formul a ofT heannouncement of the detail ofourwork , and the results thereof, appeared
