1808.

AT a meeting of the Counsellors of the
Massachusetts Medical Society, held on
the 5th day of June, 1807, the Committee, ap-
pointed for that purpose, presented the manuscript
of a Pharmacopoeia, prepared conformably to a
vote of the Counsellors, passed on the 3d day of
O&ober, 1 805 ; whereon it was voted,

That the said Pharmacopoeia be printed for the.
use of the Society ; and that the Committee, who
formed it, be appointed to superintend the execu-
tion of the printing.

THIS work, entitled The Pharmacopoeia of
the Massachusetts Medical Society, is printed
from the manuscript, agreeably to the vote of the Coun-
sellors.

PREFACE.

THE Massachusetts Medical Society present
to the public their Pharmacopoeia, in conformity with a sense
of duty, and the practice of similar bodies of men in Europe.
As this is the first work of the kind, which has been pub-
lished in the United States, they consider it proper to explain
the necessity and intention of the work, and to add some
particulars respecting its plan and mode of execution.

It is the intention of a Pharmacopoeia to point out those
articles, whose properties entitle them to be employed for
the cure of diseases, with the best modes of preparing them ;
and to supply the preparations and compositions of them
with titles or names, by whicn they may be known or
referred to, without constantly repeating a description of
their ingredients.

Such a work is mutually convenient to the physician and
apothecary. As it is the business of the physician to pre-
scribe, and of the apothecary to prepare medicines, the phy-
sicians as a body ought to point out those articles of med-
icine, which they shall ordinarily employ, and the standard
preparations of them.

The necessity of a work of this nature has been long no-
ticed, especially in our large towns. In them, the professions
of physician and apothecary are most distinct ; and between
those, whose relation to each other is so important, a perfect
understanding should exist. As this cannot be established
between them as individuals, it is necessary that there should

be uniformity, both in the pharmaceutical preparations and
language. By the want of such uniformity, much incon-
venience, and even very serious consequences have been
produced.

The work now offered will, it is presumed, effectually
remedy such evils. The Medical Society indeed is not
empowered to require of apothecaries a compliance with
the directions of this Pharmacopoeia ; nor does such power
seem requisite. It has a sufficient substitute in the apothe-
cary's regard to lus own interest, and to his duty to the
public.

Books multiply so fast, that it has become necessary to
preface every new work with the reasons, almost indeed
with an apology, for its appearance. The preceding re-
marks, furnish in some measure, an apology for this work.
Yet it mav be thought, that a new book was not necessary
for the purposes, which have been stated, since foreign works
of this nature are in the hands of every physician and apoth-
ecary .

This consideration merits attention, and the Society have
endeavoured to give to it due weight. Respecting the med-
ical erudition of those learned colleges, by whom pharma-
ceutical works have been issued in Europe, the Society very
naturally looked to them for a work, which should supply
their own wants. They even conceived, that a Pharmaco-
poeia of equal merit, originating from themselves, would be
less convenient to them, than one, which should be gen-
erally received, and of which the language should be com-
monly adopted in those nations, with whom we maintain
the greatest literary intercourse. It was then a question,
what work best answered this description ; and they might
have hesitated in their choice among the British Pharmaco-
poeias, had not the Edinburgh college of physicians recently
^published theirs upon a plan truly scientific. Yet this.

PREFACE. TO

like other European Pharmacopoeias, being in the latin lan-
guage, is not adapted to this country, where the apothe-
caries are not necessarily instructed in that language ; and
in some other respects, is not perfectly suited to the modes
of practice received among us.

The Society then resolved to adopt the Pharmacopoeia of
the Edinburgh college as the basis of their own ; but to
permit such omissions, alterations, and additions as, upon
minute examination, should be found necessary. It was not
desirable however, to give to this an appearance of orig-
inality ; on the contrary, trifling considerations have not
induced any variation from that excellent work.

As latin names for the articles of the Materia Medica,
and for the preparations and compositions, are most com-
monly employed, these are given, with their English transla-
tions ; while the directions are in the English language only.
The convenience of this arrangement compensates for the
partial neglect of system.

Our omissions, alterations, and additions, have not been
made without laborious investigations, and such experiments
as seemed most important. The following were the general
heads of our inquiries.

First, respecting the virtues of each article on the list Qf
the Materia Medica, in the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia.

Second, respecting articles, admitted into other Pharma-
copoeias, or employed in this country, which are not found
in the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia.

Third, respecting the merit of the preparations and com-
positions in the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia, compared with
those, which are similar in other pharmaceutical works.

Fourth, respecting the merit of such preparations and
compositions, as are not admitted into the Edinburgh Phar-
macopoeia, but are found, either in similar works, or in use in
our own country.

A 2

In pursuing these inquiries, the individuals, to whom the
usk was allotted, have not been governed by their own sen-
timents alone ; but have constantly had respect to the gen-
eral opinion of their professional brethren, so far as they
could ascertain this by common practice. On the one side,
it was obviously desirable, that the book should not be swell-
ed to a great size ; and on the other, that it should contain
every article of the Materia Medica in use, with sufficient
variety of preparations aud compositions. Among the sub-
stances employed in this country, which are not found in
European Pharmacopoeias, they have admitted but a small
part of those, which have come to their knowledge. It is
much to be regretted, that the history of most of them is very
imperfect ; since such articles only, as have pretensions to
an established reputation, can be entitled to admission into a
work of this sort. In this instance, a natural partiality ha>;
■ ailed for an extension of this rule to its utmost length.

On the important subject of pharmaceutical nomencla-
ture, there is much difficulty in determining the best course
to be pursued ; much more, in pursuing such a course, as to
give satisfaction to alL We have followed the Edinburgh
college in admitting systematic names, for both the natural
and artificial substances, employed in medicine.

It must not be understood, that in adopting the modern
language of botany and chemistry, we have consulted the
whims and opinions of every pretender. In this, as in
former ages, men are creating confusion by creating names.
The object of the reforms in scientific language is to obviate
this evil, and to establish nomenclature upon solid grounds.
The language, we have employed, is that, which has been
sanctioned and adopted by the most profoundly scientific
men of the age. If chemists have not attained unquestion-
able knowledge respecting every object of their research,
.•••: this is least of all the case with respect to most of th<-

articles employed in medicine. Shall we refuse to avail our-
selves of their successful labours, because they have not ar-
rived at perfection in every branch of their science ?

That there are great advantages in the systematic nomen-
clatures of the botanists and chemists, so far as they are found-
ed on fixed principles, will not be disputed. These advan-
tages are such, as must eventually secure their reception.

There are some cases, in which a regard to convenience
has led us to leave the names of well known substances unal-
tered. Many of those names, which have been established
for ages, and much employed, are suffered to remain in use ;
while the scientific names, corresponding with them, are
pointed out in their proper places. The same plan has been
followed in those instances, where the scientific names would
be too long, or do not point out the variety of the article
to be employed with sufficient precision. Thus, it is per-
mitted to call by the name of opium, the inspissated juice of
the capsules of white poppy ; and by the name of chalk, the
soft carbonate of lime.

The importance of the objects, for which this work is de-
signed, will not be disputed. In the present age, and espe-
cially in this country, the articles most employed in medi-
cine are not denied to possess power, whatever doubts
may be entertained of their usefulness. Of such articles
«ur knowledge cannot be too perfect, nor can our prepara-
tions and compositions be made with too much accuracy.
So many are the sources of fallacy in these respects, that all
directions are futile, unless a compliance with them is ac-
companied by great personal accuracy and circumspection
in the apothecary. This work is offered as a manual ; but
it should be handled by those, who are well versed in chem-
istry, well acquainted with the characters of medicinal
substances, and familiarly accustomed to pharmaceutical
operations.

Impressed by a sense of duty to their fellow-citizens, the
Massachusetts Medical Society may presume that they
have in some measure discharged their obligations, if the
utility of this work be proportionate to their estimation of
its importance. How successful it may be in producing the
effects, for which it is designed, must be uncertain. The
Society repose with confidence on the hope, that the work
will be supported by the well instructed part of the physi-
cians and apothecaries ; at least, if it be calculated to substi-
tute for obsolete terms and varying forms of preparation,
intelligible prescriptions and uniform preparations of medi-
cine. They cannot therefore hesitate to solicit the aid of all
scientific men in effecting a revolution, so very desirable for
the correct practice of medicine ; a revolution, which con-
cerns the reputation and success of every medical practi-
tioner, and the health and safety of every individual.

OF WEIGHTS.

AS there frequently arise errors of no small import-
ance from the promiscuous use of weights and measures, it
is proper, that the quantities of substances, whether fluid or
solid, be determined by weight. Yet it may suffice to meas-
ure wine, water, and aqueous liquors in most instances ; pro-
vided that for this purpose vessels be employed, of glass,
where the nature of the substance requires it, whose ca-
pacities and divisions accurately correspond with the divis-
ions, or multiples, of the medical pound. The kind of
weights, we employ, is that commonly called troy weight,
which is divided in the following manner.

A pound ~1 {"twelve ounces.

An ounce I . 1 eight drachms.

A drachm f ,S equaI t0 *j three scruples.

A scruple J ^twenty grains.

Nitrate of potass in coarse powder, or

bruised, two pounds,
Sulphuric acid, sixteen ounces.
Having put the nitrate of potass into a glass re-
tort, pour upon it the sulphuric acid, and distil it
in a sand bath, with a heat gradually increased, un-
til the iron pot begins to be red hot.

The specific gravity of this acid is to that of dis-
tilled water as 1550 to 1000.

ACIDS. 39

ACIDUM NITROSUM DILUTUM.
DILUTED NITROUS ACID.

Take of

Nitrous acid,
Water, equal weights.
Mix them, taking care to avoid the noxious Va-
pours.

ACIDUM NITRICUM.
NITRIC ACID.

Take of

Nitrous acid, any quantity.
Pour it into a retort, and having adapted a re-
ceiver, apply a very gentle heat, until the reddest
portion shall have passed over, and the acid which
remains in the retort shall have become nitric acid.

ACIDUM MURIATICUM.
MURIATIC ACID.

Take of

Muriate of soda, two pounds,
Sulphuric acid, sixteen ounces,
Water, one pound.
Let the muriate of soda be kept at a red heat for

some time in an iron vessel, and after it has cooled,

40 ACIDS.

put it into a retort ; then pour upon t he muriateof
soda, the acid mixed with the water and allowed to
cool. Lastly, distil in a sand bath, with a mode-
rate fire, as long as any acid is produced.

The specific gravity of this acid is to that of dis-
tilled water, as 1170 to 1000.

ACIDUM ACETOSUM DESTILLATUM.

DISTILLED ACETOUS ACID.

Let eight pounds of acetous acid be distilled in
glass vessels with a gentle heat. The two first
pounds which come over, being too watery, are to
be set aside ; the next four pounds will be the dis.
tilled acetous acid. The remainder furnishes a still
stronger acid, but too much burnt by the fire.

ACIDUM ACETOSUM FORTE.
STRONG ACETOUS ACID.

Take of

Sulphate of iron dried, one pound,
Acetite of lead, ten ounces.
Having rubbed them together, put them into a
retort, and distil in a sand bath with a moderate
heat, as long as any acid comes over.

ACIDS. 41

ACIDUM BENZOICUM.
BENZOIC ACID.

Take of

Benzoin, twenty-four ounces,

Carbonate of soda, eight ounces,

Water, sixteen pounds.
Triturate the benzoin with the carbonate, then
boil in the water for half an hour, with constant
agitation, and strain. Repeat the decoction, with
other six pounds of water, and strain. Mix these
decoctions, and evaporate, until two pounds remain.
Filter anew, and drop into the fluid, as long as it
produces any precipitation,

Diluted sulphuric acid.

Take of

Amber reduced to powder, and of pure
sand, equal weights.
Mix them, and put them into a glass retort, of
E2

\ l l ACIDS.

which the mixture may fill one half ; then adapt a
large receiver, and distil in a sand bath, with a fire
gradually increased. At first a watery liquor will
come over, with some yellow oil ; then a yellow oil
with an acid salt, and lastly, a reddish and black
coloured oil. Pour the liquor out of the receiver,
and separate the oil from the water. Press the
salt collected from the neck of the retort and sides
•of the receiver, between folds of blotting paper, to
free it from the oil adhering to it ; then purify it
by solution in warm water and crystallization.

AQUA ACIDI CARBON1CI.

WATER. OF CARBONIC ACID.

Take of

Water, six pounds ; place this in the mid-
dle part of a Nooth's apparatus, and ex-
pose it to a stream of carbonic acid gas
arising from
Carbonate of lime in powder,
Sulphuric acid, each three ounces,
Water, three pounds, gradually and cau-
tiously mixed.
If a larger quantity of the liquor be required, the
apparatus of Dr. Woulfe is preferable.

ALKALIES. 43

In this and similar preparations, where carbonic
acid gas is combined with liquids, the liquor is bet-
ter in proportion to the coldness of the air, and to
the pressure to which it is subjected. It should be
preserved in glass vessels well closed, and should not
be expofed to any high temperature.

AQUA POTASS^E.
SOLUTION OF TOIASS.

Take of

Lime recently burnt, eight ounces,
Carbonate of potass, six ounces.
Throw the lime into an iron or earthen vessel, with
twenty-eight ounces of warm water. After the ebul-
lition is finished, instantly add the salt ; and having
thoroughly mixed them, cover the vessel till they
cool. When the mixture has cooled, agitate it
well, and pour it into a glass funnel, whose throat
must be stopt up with a piece of clean rag. Let
the upper mouth of the funnel be covered, while
the tube of it is inserted into another glass vessel,
so that the solution of potass may gradually drop
through the rag into the lower vessel. When it
first gives over dropping, pour into the funnel some
«umces of water ; but cautiously, so that the water

44 ALKALIES.

may swim above the matter. The water of potass
will again begin to drop, and the affusion of water
is to be repeated in the same manner, until three
pounds have dropped, which will happen in the
space of two or three days ; then by agitation mix
the superior and inferior parts of the liquor togeth-
er, and put it up in a well stopt phial.

POTASSA.
POTASS.

Take of

Solution of potass, any quantity.
Evaporate it in a covered very clean iron vessel,
till on the ebullition ceasing, the saline matter flows
gently like oil, which happens before the vessel be-
comes red. Then pour it out on a smooth iron
plate ; let it be divided into small pieces before it
hardens, and immediately placed in a well stopt
phial.

POTASSA CUM CALCE.
POTASS WITH LIME.

Take of

Solution of potass, any quantity.
Evaporate this in a covered iron vessel till one
third remains ; then mix with it as much new

SALINE SUBSTANCES. 45

slacked lime as will bring it to the consistence of a
pretty solid pap, which is to be kept in a vessel
closely stopt.

CARBONAS POTASS.E.

CARBONATE OF POTASS.

Let impure carbonate of potass, put into a cruci-
ble, be brought to a low red heat, that the oily
impurities, if there he any, may be consumed ; then
triturate it with an equal weight of water, and mix
them thoroughly by agitation. Filtrate the liquor
through paper into a very clean iron pot, and boil
to dryness, stirring the salt towards the end of the
process, to prevent its sticking to the vessel.

CARBONAS POTASS-S PURISSIMUS.
PURE CARBONATE OF POTASS.

Take of

Impure super-tartrite of potass, any quan-
tity.
Burn it to a black mass, by placing it among live
coals, either wrapped up in moist bibulous paper,
or contained in a crucible. Having reduced this
mass to powder, expose it in an open crucible to

the action of a moderate fire, till it become white,
©r at least of an ash grey colour, taking care that
it do not melt. Then dissolve it in warm water ;
strain the liquor through a linen cloth, and evapo-
rate it in a clean iron vessel, diligently stirring it
towards the end of the process with an iron spatu-
la, to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the
vessel. A very white salt will remain, which is to
be left a little longer on the fire, till the bottom of
the vessel becomes almost red. Lastly, when the
salt is grown cold, keep it in glass vessels well stopt.

AQUA CARBONATIS POTASS^.
SOLUTION OF CARBONATE OF POTASS.

SALINE SUBSTAKCES. 4*7

carbonic acid gas, in the same manner as directed
for the water of carbonic acid.

ACETIS POTASS/E.
ACETITE OF POTASS.

Take of

Pure carbonate of potass, one pound.
Boil it with a very gentle heat, in four or five
times its weight of distilled acetous acid ; add more
acid at different times, till on the watery part of
the preceding quantity being nearly dissipated by
evaporation, the new addition of acid ceases to raise
any effervescence ; which will happen, when about
twenty pounds of the distilled acetous acid have
been consumed. It is then to be slowly dried.
The impure salt remaining, is to be melted with a
gentle heat, for a short time ; and afterwards dis-
solved in water, and filtered through paper. If
the liquifaction has been properly performed, the
filtered liquor will be limpid ; but if otherwise, of a
brown colour. Afterwards evaporate this liquor
with a very gentle heat in a very shallow glass ves-
sel, occasionally stirring the salt as it becomes dry,
that its moisture may be sooner dissipated. Lastly,
the acetite of potass ought to be kept in a vessel
very closely stopt, to prevent it from deliquescing.

pared from the residuum of the distillation of nitrous
acid, by dissolving it in warm water, and saturating
it with carbonate of potass.

Let a large crucible be placed in a furnace filled
with live coals, so as to be somewhat inclined to-
wards its mouth ; and when the bottom of the cru-
cible is moderately red, throw into it a small piece
of zinc, about the weight of a drachm. The zinc
soon inflames, and it is at the same time converted
into white flakes, which are from time to time to
be removed from the surface of the metal with an
iron spatula, that the combustion may be more
complete ; and at last, when the zinc ceases to
flame, the oxide of zinc is to be taken out of the
crucible. Having put in another piece of zinc,
the operation is to be repeated, and may be repeat-
ed as often as is necessary. Lastly, the oxide of
zinc is to be prepared in the same way as the car-
bonate of lime.

Herbs and flowers are to be dried by the gentle
heat of a stove or common fire, in such quantities
at a time, that the process may be finished as quickly
as possible ; for in this manner their properties are
best preserved ; the test of which is the perfect
preservation of their natural colour.

The leaves of hemlock (conium maculatum) and
of other plants containing a subtile volatile matter,
must be immediately pounded, after being dried, and
afterwards kept in glass phials, well corked.

SCILLA MARITIMA EXSICCATA.

CHAP. IX.
VOLATILE OILS.

Volatile oils are prepared nearly in the same man-
ner as the distilled waters, except that less water is
to be added. Seeds and woody substances are to
be previously bruised or rasped.

The oil comes over with the water, and is after-
wards to be separated from it, according as it may
be lighter than the water, and swim upon its sur-
face, or heavier, and sink to the bottom. Besides,
in preparing both distilled waters and oils, it is to
be observed, that the goodness of the subject, its
texture, the season of the year, and similar causes,
must give rise to so many differences, that no cer-
tain or general rule can be given to suit accurately
each example.

Therefore, many things are omitted, to be varied
by the operator according to his judgment, and
only the most general precepts are given .
