=Tincture of Calum'ba.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CALUMBae (B. P., Ph. L. &. E.), T.

COLOMBae (Ph. D.), L. _Prep._ 1. (B. P.) Bruised calumba, 1; proof spirit, 8; macerate forty-eight hours with 6 of the spirit, agitating occasionally; pack in a percolator, and let it drain, then pour on the remaining spirit; when it ceases to drop, press, and wash the marc with spirit to make up 8.--_Dose_, 1/2 to 2 dr.

2. (Ph. L.) Calumba root, finely sliced, 3 oz.; proof spirit, 1 quart; macerate a week (14 days.--Ph. D.), press, and filter. "Or, more conveniently, by percolation, allowing the calumba, in moderately fine powder, to first soak in a little spirit for 6 hours." (Ph. E.)

_Obs._ This tincture is commonly made with 1 lb. of calumba root to the gallon of a mixture of equal parts of rectified spirit and water.--_Dose_, 1 to 2 fl. dr.; as a stomachic bitter and tonic, usually joined with soda or chalybeates.

=Tincture of Cam'phor.= _Syn._ SPIRIT OF WINE AND CAMPHOR, CAMPHORATED SPIRIT; TINCTURA CAMPHORae; (Ph. E. & D.), SPIRITUS CAMPHORae (Ph. L.), SPIRITUS CAMPHORATUS, L. _Prep._ 1. (Ph. E.) Camphor, 2-1/2 oz.; rectified spirit, 1 quart; dissolve. This is only one half as strong as the Ph. L.

preparation.

2. (Ph. D.) Camphor, 1 oz.; rectified spirit, 8 fl. oz. Stimulant and anodyne.--_Dose_, 10 to 60 drops. Also as a liniment for sprains, bruises, chronic rheumatism, &c. For the Ph. L. formula, see SPIRIT.

=Tincture of Camphor (Compound).= _Syn._ CAMPHORATED TINCTURE OF OPIUM ASTHMATIC ELIXIR, PAREGORIC E., ASTHMATIC TINCTURE; TINCTURA CAMPHORae COMPOSITA (B. P., Ph. L.), TINCTURA OPII CAMPHORATA (Ph.

2. (Ph. L.) Camphor, 50 gr.; powdered opium and benzoic acid, of each 72 gr.; oil of aniseed, 1 fl. dr.; proof spirit, 1 quart; macerate for 7 days, and filter. The formulae of the Ph. E. & D. are nearly similar. The oil of aniseed, probably one of the most useful and characteristic of the ingredients, was omitted in the Ph. L. 1824, but was restored in that of 1836.

3. (Wholesale.) From powdered opium, 3 oz.; benzoic acid, camphor, and oil of aniseed, of each 2 oz.; rectified spirit and water, of each 3 galls.; as before.

_Obs._ This tincture is a popular and excellent pectoral and anodyne, where there are no inflammatory symptoms.--_Dose_, 1/2 to 2 fl. dr.; in troublesome coughs, &c. 1/2 fl. oz. contains about 1 gr. of opium.

=Tincture of Canthar'ides.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CANTHARIDIS (B. P., Ph. L., E., & D.), TINCTURA LYTTae, L. _Prep._ 1. (B. P.)

It should be used with caution. The Ed. College recommends it to be prepared by displacement.

Capsic.u.m, bruised, 1; rectified spirit, 27; macerate 48 hours with three fourths of the spirit, agitating occasionally, pack in a percolator, and let it drain, then pour on the remaining spirit; as soon as it ceases to drop, wash the marc with spirit to make up 27.--_Dose_, 10 to 20 minims.

2. (Ph. L.) Capsic.u.m, bruised, 10 dr.; proof spirit, 1 quart; digest 14 days (or percolate,--Ph. E.).--_Dose_, 10 to 60 drops; in atonic dyspepsia, scarlet fever, ulcerated sore throat, &c. It is also made into a gargle.

=Tincture of Capsic.u.m (Concentrated).= See ESSENCES.

=Tincture of Capsic.u.m with Veratria.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CAPSICI c.u.m VERATRIA. (Dr Turnbull.) _Prep._ Dissolve 4 gr. of veratria in 1 oz. of concentrated tincture of capsic.u.m.

=Tincture of Card'amoms.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CARDAMOMI (Ph. E.), TINCT. AMOMI REPENTIS, L. _Prep._ (Ph. L. 1836.) Cardamom seeds, 3-1/2 oz. (4-1/2 oz.--Ph. E.); proof spirit, 1 quart; digest for 14 days (or percolate--Ph.

E.).

_Obs._ The sh.e.l.ls should be sifted from the seeds before maceration, and the latter are preferably ground in a pepper-mill instead of being bruised in a mortar. Aromatic and carminative.--_Dose_, 1 to 2 fl. dr., as an adjunct to purgative mixtures.

=Tincture of Cardamoms (Compound).= _Syn._ STOMACHIC TINCTURE; TINCTURA CARDAMOMI COMPOSITA (B. P., Ph. L., E., & D), TINCTURA STOMACHICA, L.

_Prep._ 1. (B. P.) Cardamom seeds, freed from their pericarps, bruised, 1; caraway, bruised, 1; raisins, freed from their seeds, 8; bruised cinnamon, 2; cochineal, in powder, 1/2; proof spirit, 80; macerate 48 hours with 3/4 of the spirit, agitating occasionally, pack in a percolator, and let it drain, pour upon it the remainder of the spirit, and, when it ceases to drop, press, wash the marc with spirit to make up 80.--_Dose_, 1/2 to 2 dr.

2. (P. L.) Cardamoms (without the sh.e.l.ls), caraways, and cochineal, of each, bruised, 2-1/2 dr.; cinnamon, bruised, 5 dr.; raisins, stoned, 5 oz.; proof spirit, 1 quart; macerate 7 days, then strain, with expression.

3. (Ph. E., and Ph. L. 1836.) As the last, but using only 1 dr. of cochineal, and macerating 14 days; or, "it maybe prepared by the method of displacement." (Ph. E.)

4. (Wholesale.) From cardamoms and caraway seeds, of each 4 oz.; cochineal (s. g.), 6 oz.; ca.s.sia, 8 oz.; sultana raisins, 5 lbs.; proof spirit, 4 galls. (or rectified spirit and water, of each, 2 galls.); macerate, &c., as before.

_Obs._ The Dublin College omitted the cochineal and raisins in their Ph.

of 1826, but have restored them in their new one. The order of the London College to stone the raisins is seldom adopted in practice; by which the tincture is rendered unfit to be employed in dispensing prescriptions containing quinine or other alkaloids. When pharmaceutists are too lazy to follow the instructions in their Pharmacopia, they had better use sultana raisins, which have no stones.--_Dose_, 1 to 4 fl. dr.; as a cordial and stomachic, but chiefly as an adjunct, for its colour and flavour.

=Tincture of Cascaril'la.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CASCARILLae (B. P., Ph. L., E., & D.), L. _Prep._ 1. (B. P.) Cascarilla, bruised, 1; proof spirit, 8; macerate 48 hours with 6 of the spirit, agitating occasionally; pack in a percolator, let it drain, and pour on the remainder of the spirit, and, when it ceases to drop, wash the marc, press, filter, and make up 8.--_Dose_, 1/2 to 2 dr.

2. (Ph. L.) Cascarilla, bruised, 5 oz.; proof spirit, 1 quart; macerate for 7 days (14 days--Ph. D.; or percolate--Ph. E.). An excellent tonic and stomachic; chiefly employed as an adjunct to mixtures, &c.--_Dose_, 1 to 2 fl. dr.

E.) Ca.s.sia, 3-1/2 oz.; proof spirit, 1 quart; macerate for 7 days, or percolate. Stomachic and carminative.--_Dose_, 1 to 2 fl. dr.

=Tincture of Castor.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CASTOREI (B. P., Ph. L. & E.), TINCT. CASTOREI ROSSICI, L. _Prep._ 1. (B. P.) Castor, in coa.r.s.e powder, 1; rectified spirit, 20; macerate seven days, strain, and wash the marc with spirit sufficient to make up to 20.--_Dose_, 1/2 to 1 dr.

2. (Ph. L.) Castor, bruised, 2-1/2 oz.; rectified spirit, 1 quart; macerate for 7 days (or percolate--Ph. E.).

_Obs._ The Dublin College ordered Russian castor in their Ph. of 1826; but the scarcity and high price of that variety, we fear, too often precludes its use. The tincture of the shops is usually made with only 8 oz. of castor to the gall. of proof spirit. Nervine and antispasmodic.--_Dose_, 20 drops to 2 fl. dr.; in hysteria, epilepsy, &c.

=Tincture of Castor (Ammo"niated).= _Syn._ ELIXIR FTIDUM, TINCTURA CASTOREI COMPOSITA, T. C. AMMONIATA (Ph. E.), L. _Prep._ (Ph. E.)

With the addition of 1/2 oz. of opium, it forms the Elixir Uterinum, or Elixir Castorei Thebaic.u.m of foreign Pharmacopias.

=Tincture of Castor (Ethereal).= _Syn._ TINCTURA CASTOREI aeTHEREA. (P.

Cod.) _Prep._ Castor, in powder, 1 oz.; alcoholised ether (see ETHEREAL TINCT. OF a.s.sAFTIDA), 10 oz. (by weight).

=Tincture of Castor Oil Seeds.= _Syn._ TINCTURA RICINI. Castor oil seeds bruised are digested with five times their weight of rectified spirit.

This tincture is stated to be 4 times the strength of the oil.

=Tincture of Cat'echu.= _Syn._ COMPOUND TINCTURE OF CATECHU; TINCTURA CATECHU COMPOSITA (Ph. L.), T. CATECHU (B. P., Ph. E. & D.), L. _Prep._ 1.

=Tincture of Chiret'ta.= _Syn._ TINCTURA CHIRAYTae (B. P.), TINCTURA CHIRAYTA, T. CHIRETTae (Ph. D.), L. _Prep._ (B. P.) Chiretta, cut small and bruised, 1; proof spirit, 8; macerate 48 hours with 6 of the spirit, agitating occasionally, pack in a percolator, and let it drain, then pour on the remaining spirit; when it ceases to drop, press, and wash the marc with spirit to make up 8.--_Dose_, 15 to 60 minims; B. Ph. dose 1/2 to 2 dr.

2. (Ph. D.) Chiretta or chirayta (bruised), 5 oz.; proof spirit, 1 quart; macerate for 14 days. Tonic and stomachic.--_Dose_, 1/2 to 2 fl. dr.
