Each fluidrachm (teaspoonful) of the finished elixir contains<br />

five grains of bromide of calcium. This proportion was recommended<br />

by Robert W. Gardner, 1880.<br />

ELIXIR OF IODO-BROMIDE OF CALCIUM.<br />

This is private property. Under the above name a preparation<br />

has been introduced <strong>and</strong> extensively advertised, <strong>and</strong> through courtesy<br />

to the proprietors we refrain from interfering.<br />

48. ELIXIR OF HYPOPHOSPHITE OF CALCIUM.<br />

Hypophosphite of calcium,......... 256 grains.<br />

Citric acid,.......................................... 30 grains.<br />

Simple elixir,....................enough to make l 6 fluidounces.<br />

Dissolve the hypophosphite of calcium in the simple elixir,<br />

add the citric acid, <strong>and</strong> filter. Each fluidrachm contains two grains of<br />

hypophosphite of calcium.<br />

49. ELIXIR OF LACTOPHOSPHATE OF CALCIUM.<br />

Lactophosphate of calcium,......... 128 grains.<br />

Simple elixir,..............................16 fluidounces.<br />

Lactic acid, syrupy,.....................1 fluidrachm.<br />

Mix the simple elixir with the lactic acid, <strong>and</strong> dissolve therein<br />

the lactophosphate of calcium, <strong>and</strong> filter. Each fluidrachm of the<br />

finished elixir contains one grain of lactophosphate of calcium. This<br />

elixir corresponds in strength to that of previous editions of our work,<br />

<strong>and</strong> also to that of the National Formulary. In our opinion, the process<br />

commended herein is preferable to the others, <strong>and</strong> the product is<br />

practically identical. The substance sold in commerce by chemical<br />

manufacturers under the name lacto-phosphate of calcium, although<br />

not a definite salt, is probably as effective therapeutically as the<br />

pharmaceutical preparation made by dissolving either phosphate of<br />

calcium in lactic acid, or lactate of calcium in phosphoric acid.
