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.
