Caution:—Owing to the toxicity of opium, only a small number should be ordered at one time.
| Powdered ipecac | 0.30 | Gm. |
| Deodorized opium | 0.30 | Gm. |
| Alcoholic solution of saccharin, 3% | 2.00 | Cc. |
| Sodium bicarbonate | 2.00 | Gm. |
| Cinnamon cacao sugar | 27.40 | Gm. |
Mix the ipecac with the opium and the alcoholic solution of saccharin (in a warm mortar if in a hurry) and permit the alcohol to evaporate; then add the other ingredients, triturate thoroughly; and compress in a tablet machine, using 3/8-inch die and punches, to make one hundred 0.30 Gm. tablets.
Note:—If any difficulty is experienced in the compression of these tablets, the addition of a little shaved paraffin will probably remedy it.
Alternate Formula.
