Solution of Camphor, Carbonated. Syn. Solutio camphoræ carbonica. (Swediaur.) Prep. Water saturated with carbonic acid gas, 2 lbs.; powdered camphor, 3 dr.
Solution of Camphor and Chloroform. Syn. Solutio camphoræ et chloroformi. (Messrs Smith.) Prep. Camphor, 3 dr.; chloroform, 1 fl. dr. Dissolve. For exhibiting camphor with yolk of egg in emulsions.
Solution of Carbolic Acid. For the Toilette. Prep. Crystallised carbolic acid, 10 parts; essence of millefleur, 1 part; tincture of Quillai Saponaria, 50; water, 1000 parts. Mix. The saponine replaces soap with advantage. The above should be employed
diluted with 10 times its bulk of water, for disinfecting the skin, for washing the hands, after any risk of contagion, inoculation, &c.
Solution of Car′bonate of Ammo′′nia. Syn. Solution of sesquicarbonate of ammonia, Carbonate of ammonia water; Liquor ammoniæ sesquicarbonatis (Ph. L.), Aqua ammoniæ carbonatis (Ph. E.). Prep. (Ph. L. & E.) Sesquicarbonate of ammonia, 4 oz.; distilled water, 1 pint; dissolve. Stimulant and antacid.—Dose, 1⁄2 to 1 fl. dr., in water.
Solution of Carbonate of Magnesia. Syn. Liquor magnesiæ carbonatis (B. P.) Prep. Dissolve separately, each in 1⁄2 a pint of distilled water, sulphate of magnesia, 2 oz.; and carbonate of soda, 21⁄2 oz. Heat the solution of sulphate of magnesia to the boiling point, add the solution of carbonate of soda, and boil together until carbonic acid ceases to be evolved. Collect the precipitated carbonate of magnesia, and wash until what passes ceases to give a precipitate with chloride of barium. Mix the precipitate with a pint of distilled water, and in a suitable apparatus, charge with pure washed carbonic acid gas. Retain excess of carbonic acid under pressure for 24 hours. Filter to remove undissolved carbonate, and again pass carbonic acid into the solution. Keep in a bottle securely closed. (This contains about 13 gr. of carbonate of magnesia in each fluid ounce.)
Solution of Carbonate of Potas′sa. Syn. Oil of tartar†, Water of subcarbonate of potash†; Liquor potassæ carbonatis (Ph. L. & D.), L. p. subcarbonatis†, L. Prep. (Ph. L.) Carbonate of potassa, 20 oz. (10 oz.—Ph. D.); water, 1 pint; dissolve and filter (or decant). Sp. gr.—Ph. L., 1·473; Ph. D., 1·310.—Dose, 10 drops to 1 dr., as an antacid, &c.
Solution of Carbonate of So′da. Syn. Subcarbonate of soda water†; Sodæ carbonatis liquor (Ph. D.), L. Prep. (Ph. D.) Carbonate of soda (in crystals), 11⁄2 oz.; distilled water, 1 pint. Sp. gr. 1·026.—Dose, 1⁄4 to 11⁄2 fl. oz., as an antacid; in heartburn, dyspepsia, &c.
