Sweet Tablets of Aristochin.
0.06 Gm. (gr. 1).
| Aristochin | 6.00 | Gm. |
| Alcoholic solution of saccharin, 3% | 3.00 | Cc. |
| Sodium bicarbonate | 1.00 | Gm. |
| Vanilla cacao sugar | 23.00 | Gm. |
Mix the aristochin with the alcoholic solution of saccharin (in a hot mortar if in a hurry) and permit the alcohol to evaporate. Then add the vanilla cacao sugar, and finally the sodium bicarbonate by thorough trituration in a mortar. Compress in a tablet machine, using 3/8-inch die and punches to make one hundred 0.30 Gm. tablets.
Note:—If any difficulty be experienced in compressing this powder into tablets, the addition of a little shaved paraffin will probably overcome the trouble.
