Sedative and hæmatinic
Bismuth and Iron Citrate (Soluble), ‘Wellcome’ Brand, permits the sedative properties of the bismuth to be exerted on the digestive organs, while the iron, which is presented in a soluble, non-irritating and non-astringent condition, is readily absorbed to attack the anæmia which is the exciting cause in some cases of dyspepsia. The salt is in the form of yellowish-green scales, readily soluble in water.
Definite composition
Iron Arsenate (Soluble), ‘Wellcome’ Brand, differs from the insoluble amorphous powders, of indefinite composition, so often prepared under this name, in being a scale preparation readily soluble in water, and containing an amount of arsenic equivalent to 34–35 per cent. of anhydrous ferric arsenate.
Soluble Manganese Salts
A series of soluble Manganese Salts and combinations of the same with Arsenic, Quinine or Strychnine are unique forms in which this chemical may be prescribed with the best effect.
Pilocarpine
The ‘Wellcome’ Brand salts of Pilocarpine, as a result of prolonged and costly investigations, are free from the less active isopilocarpine and the inactive pilocarpidine with which they are usually found to be associated. The melting point indicates the high purity of these salts.
Quinine Sulphate
A special feature is made of Quinine Sulphate in the convenient form of compact crystals occupying one-third the space of the bulky chemical ordinarily offered.
