PEEFACE. 


The  previous  edition  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  of 
the  London  Hospital  having  become  exhausted, 
the  Medical  Council,  deeming  that  the  time 
had  arrived  when  the  whole  matter  should 
undergo  a thorough  revision,  appointed  a 
Committee  composed  of  certain  members  of  the 
Staff  to  undertake  the  work. 

The  Committee  so  appointed  thought  it 
advisable,  not  only  to  effect  numerous  altera- 
tions, but  also  to  endeavour  to  render  the 
work  a useful  guide  to  the  students  of  the 
Hospital  in  the  art  of  prescribing.  The  aim 
has  been  to  incorporate  such  recent  additions 
to  the  Materia  Medica  as  have  been  proved 
of  value,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  to  preserve 
simplicity  of  formulae.  The  mode  of  pre- 
paration has  been  subjected,  in  every  instance, 
to  a practical  test. 


VI 


The  Appendix  has  been  framed  with  the 
view  of  its  being  of  practical  use  to  the 
Student  in  his  clinical  work. 

The  Committee  desires  to  express  its  obliga- 
tion to  Mr.  George  Robertson  for  his  valued 
and  efficient  co-operation  during  the  whole 
progress  of  the  work. 

March,  1882.

PEPTONISED  FOODS. 

Peptonisod  Milk. 

Take  a pint  of  milk,  dilute  it  with  a quarter  of  a 
pint. of  water,  and  divide  the  mixture  into  two  equal 
portions  ; heat  one  portion  to  the  boiling  point,  and 
then  mix  it  with  the  cold  portion  in  a jug  provided 
with  a cover  ; add  to  this  three  fluid  drachma  of  pan- 
creatic solution,  and  twenty  grains  of  bicarbonate  of 
soda,  and  mix  well  together;  set  the  covered  jug  aside 
in  a warm  situation  for  two  hours  and  a half,  and  then 
boil  the  contents  for  three  minutes. 

Peptonised  Gruel. 

To  a pint  of  well  boiled  gruel,  made  thick  and  strong, 
and  allowed  to  cool  to  140°  Fahr.,  add  four  fluid 
drachms  of  pancreatic  solution,  and  mix  well  together  ; 
pour  the  mixture  into  a jug  provided  with  a cover, 
and  set  aside  in  a warm  situation  for  two  hours  ; 
then  boil  the  product  for  three  minutes,  and,  finally, 
strain. 


Peptonised  Milk-Gruel. 

Gruel,  while  still  boiling  hot,  is  added  to  an  equal 
quantity  of  cold  milk,  in  a jug  provided  with  a cover. 
To  each  pint  of  this  mixture,  three  fluid  drachms  of 
pancreatic  solution,  together  with  twenty  grains  of 
bicarbonate  of  soda,  are  added,  and  the  whole  well

Estimation  of  Urea  by  means  of 
Hypobromite  of  Sodium. 

DESCRIPTION  AND  METHOD  OP  USING  DR.  DUPRE'S 
MODIFICATION  OF  THE  APPARATUS  OF  RUSSELL 
AND  WEST. 


Db.  Dupre’s  appara- 
tus, as  shown  in  the 
woodcut,  consists  of  a 
bottle  in  which  the 
reaction  between  the 
urine  and  hypobro- 
f mite  is  effected  (a). 
It  is  fitted  with  an 
india  rubber  stopper 
which  carries  a small 
test  tube,  attached 
to  a glass  rod,  and  a 
small  piece  of  glass 
tube  connected  with 
3 the  india  rubber  tube 

( b ) ,  which  conveys 
the  nitrogen  evolved 
to  the  graduated  tube 

(c) ,  in  which  it  is 
measured.  The  upper 
limb  of  the  graduated 

0 tube  is  fitted  with  a 
piece  of  india  rubber 
tube  and  closed  by 
means  of  a pinchcock 

( d ) .  The  cylindrical 
pneumatic  trough  (e) 
is  fitted  with  a sliding 
rod  and  clip  (f), 
which  carries  the 
graduated  gas  tube, 

e and  is  capable  of 
being  fixed  in  any 
position  by  means  of 
the  clamping  screw 
(g).  The  modus  ojoer- 
andi  is  as  follows : — 
The  pinchcock  is 
taken  off  and  the 


229 


graduated  tube  let  down  until  its  zero  point  corresponds 
with  the  level  of  the  water  in  the  pneumatic  trough. 
The  bottle  is  unstoppered  and  25  C.C.  of  the  hypo- 
bromite  is  put  into  it ; 5 C.C.  of  the  urine  for  examina- 
tion is  next  measured  into  the  little  test  tube  by  means 
of  a pipette  (h).  The  stopper  is  replaced,  and  the 
little  bottle  placed  for  a minute  or  so  in  cold  water ; 
the  pinchcock  is  now  put  on  again  and  the  graduated 
tube  raised  several  inches  when,  if  all  is  tight,  the 
column  of  water  raised  in  the  tube  will  remain 
stationary.  The  bottle  is  now  tilted  so  as  to  allow  the 
urine  to  flow  into  the  hypobromite  as  rapidly  as  may 
be  convenient,  and  a thorough  mixing  is  effected  by  a 
gentle  rotary  motion  of  the  bottle.  By  suitably  in- 
clining and,  at  the  same  time,  rotating  the  bottle  it  is 
possible  alternately  to  empty  and  fill  the  little  test 
tube,  and  thus  effectually  to  wash  out  all  the  urine 
contained  in  it.  In  from  one  to  two  minutes  the  re- 
action is  almost  over.  The  bottle  should  now  be 
shaken  briskly  several  times  ; this  causes  an  appreci- 
able amount  of  effervescence  and  brings  the  reaction 
sharply  to  the  same  point  each  time.  In  five  minutes 
from  the  beginning  of  the  experiment  the  bottle  is  put 
into  cold  water,  and  the  gas  tube  let  down  into  the 
cylinder  for  a few  moments  and  then  raised  until  the 
water  inside  and  out  is  on  the  same  level,  and  the 
amount  of  gas  collected  is  read  off.  The  tube  is  so 
graduated  that  each  division  represents  one-tenth  of 
one  per  cent,  of  urea.  The  hypobromite  solution  is 
prepared  by  dissolving  100  grammes  of  caustic  soda  in 
250  C.C.  of  water  and  adding  25  C.C.  of  bromine. 

In  order  to  render  the  preparation  of  the  hypobro- 
mite easy  to  those  who  have  no  laboratory,  and  to 
avoid  the  annoyance  of  the  vapour  of  bromine,  the 
following  method  has  been  devised  by  Dr.  Duprd : — 
The  caustic  soda  is  supplied  in  bottles  containing  100 
grammes,  and  the  bromine  in  hermetically  sealed  tubes 
of  two  sizes  (viz.)  2 2 C.C.  and  44  C.C.  The  former 
is  used  when  only  one  experiment  is  to  be  made,  and 
the  latter  for  two  determinations.  The  additional 
apparatus  required  are,  first,  a stoppered  bottle  for  the 
preparation  of  the  soda  solution,  marked  at  250  and 


230 


500  C.C. ; second,  a stoppered  cylinder,  marked  at  23 
and  46  C.C.,  for  the  preparation  of  the  hypobromite. 
Fill  the  stoppered  bottle  with  water  to  250  C.C.  and 
add  100  grammes  of  caustic  soda.  Supposing  hypo- 
bromite required  for  only  one  experiment,  pour  into 
the  graduated  cylinder  23  C.C.  of  the  above  soda  solu- 
tion, drop  in  gently  one  of  the  smaller  2'2  C.C.  of 
bromine  and  having  replaced  the  stopper,  break  the 
bromine  tube  by  means  of  a smart  up  and  down  shake  ; 
in  a few  moments  the  bromine  is  dissolved  and  the 
hypobromite  solution  ready  for  use,  no  trace  of 
bromine  vapour  having  escaped  into  the  room. 


Note. — The  water  in  the  cylindrical  pneumatic 
trough  should  have  a temperature  of  15-5°  C.  = 
(60°  F.).

STANDARD  COPPER  SOLUTION. 

Fehling’s  Solution. 

For  the  Estimation  of  Sugar  in  Urine. 

Take  of 

Sulphate  of  Copper,  Ee-crystallized,  34'65 
grammes. 

Distilled  Water  to  200  cub.  centime. 

Dissolve. 

Tartarated  Soda,  Crystallized,  173  grammes. 

Caustic  Potash  80  grammes. 

Distilled  Water  to  800  cub.  centims. 

Dissolve,  and  keep  in  separate  bottles. 

To  prepare  for  use  add  1 volume  of  the  Copper 
Solution  to  4 volumes  of  the  Alkaline  Solu- 
tion and  mix. 

10  c.c.  of  the  prepared  solution  are  reduced  by  exactly 
0'05  gramme  of  diabetic  sugar. 

This  method  of  estimating  grape  sugar  is  based  upon 
the  fact  that  cupric  oxide  is  reduced  to  cuprous  oxide 
when  heated  in  contact  with  grape  sugar  in  the 
presence  of  an  alkaline  tartrate,  the  cupric  oxide 
being  reduced  in  the  proportion  of  5 equivalents  of 
CuO  = 397-5  to  1 equivalent  of  grape  sugar=180,  the 
resulting  Cu20  = 357'5,  so  that  180  grains  of  grape 
sugar  will  reduce  397  o grains  cupric  oxide,  CuO,  to 
cuprous  oxide,  Cu20,  the  weight  of  which  will  equal 
357  5 grains. 

Process. — 5 c.c.  of  the  urine  are  measured  off  and 
diluted  with  95  c.c.  of  distilled  water — 

Of  this  mixture  100  c.c.  = 5 c.c.  of  mine. 

„ 10  c.c.  *=  0-5  c.c.  „ 

„ 1 c.c.  = 0-05  c.c.  „ 

(The  dilution  of  the  urine  is  only  necessary  in  order 
that  it  may  not  contain  more  thau  1 per  cent,  of  sugar.) 

10  c.c.  of  the  Standard  Copper  Solution  are  then 
measured  off  into  a small  porcelain  dish,  and  diluted 
with  40  c.c.  of  distilled  water ; the  mixture  is  then  heated 
to  boiling  over  a lamp,  and  the  diluted  urine  delivered 


232 


from  a burette  into  the  hot  liquid,  in  small  quantities 
from  time  to  time,  until  the  blue  colour  is  discharged, 
which  point  is  best  observed  by  inclining  the  dish  so 
that  the  white  side  is  seen  through  the  solution. 

After  each  addition  of  the  diluted  urine  the  mixture 
is  heated  to  boiling,  and  the  lamp  removed  so  as 
to  allow  the  precipitated  red  oxide  Cu.,0  to  sub- 
side. The  solution,  while  still  hot,  is  filtered,  and 
divided  into  three  portions  ; the  first  portion  is  acidu- 
lated with  hydrochloric  acid,  and  sulphuretted  hydrogen 
passed  through  it ; the  second  is  acidulated  with  acetic 
acid,  and  tested  with  ferrocyanide  of  potassium ; the 
occurrence  of  a precipitate  in  either  of  the  above  indi- 
cates that  an  insufficient  quantity  of  the  diluted  urine 
has  been  added. 

The  third  portion  is  then  treated  with  a few  drops 
of  the  Standard  Copper  Solution,  and  heated  to  boiling; 
a precipitate  indicates  that  too  much  diluted  urine  has 
been  added  ; in  either  case  the  operation  must  be  re- 
peated. 

Suppose  25  c.c.  of  the  diluted  urine  were  required 
to  precipitate  all  the  copper  from  10  c.c.  of  the 
Standard  Copper  Solution  : — 

25  x '05  = T25  c.c.  of  undiluted  urine,  which 
1 25  c.c.  must  have  contained  all  the  sugar  necessary 
to  precipitate  the  copper  from  10  c.c.  of  the  Standard 
Copper  Solution — viz.,  0-05  gramme  of  sugar.  If, 
therefore,  T25  c.c.  of  the  undiluted  urine  contain  0'05 
gramme  of  sugar,  a simple  rule-of-three  sum  will  give 
the  total  quantity  of  sugar  voided  in  the  24  hours,  the 
urine  being  measured  in  cub.  centims.  for  convenience 
of  calculation.

NOTE. 

The  Column  “Metric System,”  is  applicable  both  to  weight  (in 
grammes),  and  to  measure  (in  cubic  centimetres). 

The  exact  equivalence  of  weight  and  measure  holds  good  only 
in  the  case  of  pure  water  at  4'6°  C.  (40° F ),  and  practically  also 
at  15  5°  C.  (60°  F.). — [1  c.c.  of  water  at  4'5°  C.  = l gm. ; at  15-6° 
C'=0-99912  gm.] 

The  value  of  the  gramme  in  grains  has  been  taken  as  15-  4322 
as  determined  by  late  investigations. 

Appended  are  some  useful  formula;  for  converting  weight  into 
measure,  and  vice  versa,  as  well  as  to  find  the  specifie  gravity  if 
weight  and  measure  are  given.
