ounces of simple elixir, adding cautiously enough ammonia water to
render the solution slightly alkaline, then bring to the measure of
sixteen fluidounces by the addition of a sufficient quantity of simple
elixir.
Each fluidrachm (teaspoonful) of the finished elixir represents
two grains of ammonio citrate of bismuth, and is the same in strength
as that adopted by the American Pharmaceutical Association, 1875.
During warm weather the ammonia escapes to a greater or less extent
from solutions of ammonio-citrate of bismuth; hence the addition of
the ammonia water in order to insure a perfect solution. Should this
elixir become cloudy from escape of ammonia, the addition of a little
ammonia water will restore its transparency. It is incompatible with
acids and salts of the mineral acids. The first formula brought to our
attention, for an elixir of bismuth, was by Mr. Wm. C. Bakes in the
American Journal of Pharmacy, 1867.
