Triturate the sugar and acacia thoroughly with one half the amount of water, until a uniform mucilage is formed ; then add the oil slowly, with constant trituration, and subsequently add the remainder of the water. (It requires about an hour to make the emulsion properly.) This makes a very perfect emulsion, to which may be added lactophosphate of calcium or phosphoric acid, which will give it an agreeable acidulous taste. Chloride of calcium may be added when desired, but the lactophosphate of calcium will doubtless answer the same remedial purpose. 5. 1^ Morphia; sulphatis gr. i. Ammonii carbonatis gr. xxx.-xl.
