37. Jaborandi. The leaves, as imported, are much mixed with stalks. Should the leaves be completely separated from the stalks for the making of official preparations? What is the ether-soluble alkaloidal strength of old leaves, young leaves and stalks? The tinctures of this drug met with in commerce are likely to vary considerably in alkaloidal content. A report on commercial samples would probably prove instructive. 38. Liquor Senna Concentratus. In this preparation the senna is exhausted by repercolation; in the liquor for preparing Syrupus Sennæ, B.P., a process of double maceration is employed. Which is the better method? 39. Ointments. An improved basis is wanted to replace Ungt. Paraffini, B.P., the physical characters of which are unsatisfactory. 40. Oxydase. The action of this and other ferments in inducing changes in galenical preparations such as liquid extracts, etc. 41. Oxymel Scilla. What change, if any, takes place when heat is used for making this preparation ? 42. Powdered Drugs. Experiments on the approximate quantitative determination of the constituents of mixtures of powdered vegetable drugs by means of the microscope. 43. Quillaia Bark. Experiments to determine the best menstruum for exhausting this bark for the purpose of making emulsifying agents. 44. Suppositories. A method of emulsifying aqueous liquids with theobroma oil in the preparation of suppositories. 45. Tannin. Comparative examination of the tannin at present in commerce (solubility in various solvents, moisture, etc.). 46. Witch Hazel, Distilled Extract of. The imported article varies much in character and properties. Required, an investigation upon this. (See Pharm. Journ. [3], 13, 524.) CONSTITUTION. Art.
