[59] Five of these fluidextracts have their alcohol-content determined by the Pharmacopeia or National Formulary. Three are not recognized and hence their alcohol-content is not defined by law. The alcohol-content of the mixture of fluidextracts said to be in Dioviburnia has been kindly furnished by five leading pharmaceutical houses. If the lowest alcohol-content of the several fluidextracts is made the basis of calculation, Dioviburnia should contain at least 30.75 per cent. of alcohol, or more than half as much again as the amount declared on the label.
