    Liq. Ferri Acet. c Quina, 6d. per oz. The solution of per acetate of iron having come into very general use, and having been found a very valuable iron pre¬ paration, it has been thought that a combination of it with quinine would also be acceptable. No very accurate dis¬ tinction has been established between the actions of the several salts of quinine, except the general superiority of the salts of the vegetable acids in certain cases. The acetate of quinine in this preparation is probably equal at least to the citrate, and consequently the combination with iron is in every way desirable. VAEIOUS MINOR PREPARATIONS. The following Preparations, although to be found in some of the Pharmacopoeias, or works on therapeutics, are believed not to be universally known; they would appear to be very useful, and at least some of our readers may be glad to become acquainted with them. 1. Syr. Ipecacuanha. (P. E.) A far more eligible form than the wine, especially when ipecacuanha is given as an expectorant. Dr, Neligan says it is ah excellent preparation for children; 40 minims are equal to one grain of the powder. As an emetic, 2 ounces for adults, 20 minims to 1 drachm for children, are the proper doses. 2. Prunum Preparatum. 3. Cassia Preparata. 4. Tamarindus Preparatus These simple pulps are ordered by the London Pharma¬ copoeia. They are excellent vehicles for administering medicines in to children. The prepared tamarind is a pleasant article for the sick chamber.
