Sweet Tablets of Senna.
0.06 Gm. (gr. 1).
| Senna, powdered | 6.00 | Gm. |
| Alcoholic solution of saccharin, 3% | 2.00 | Cc. |
| Paraffin, in thin shavings | 1.50 | Gm. |
| Yellow fat sugar | 22.50 | Gm. |
Pour the alcoholic solution of saccharin over the senna and permit the alcohol to evaporate completely. (Dry saccharinization, using 0.06 Gm. of saccharin, is slightly less efficient; but may be used for extemporaneous preparations.)
Incorporate the yellow fat sugar by thorough trituration in a mortar; and finally the paraffin by gentle trituration for a short time only. Compress in a tablet machine, using 3/8-inch die and punches, to make one hundred 0.30 Gm. tablets.
