Sweet Tablets of Aristochin.

0.06 Gm. (gr. 1).

Aristochin6.00 Gm.
Alcoholic solution of saccharin, 3% 3.00 Cc.
Sodium bicarbonate1.00 Gm.
Vanilla cacao sugar23.00 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.
