The scale salt known as BISMUTH AND AMMONIUM CITRATE is a very
unsatisfactory preparation. BISMUTH CITRATE (SOLUBLE), ‘WELLCOME’
BRAND, has the same therapeutic properties, but is much more stable in
character. Being very freely soluble in water and yielding a bright
solution, it is well adapted for the extemporaneous preparation of a
solution corresponding to Solution of Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate,
B.P., or for preparations in which the U.S.P. salt is used. Like the
latter, which it is designed to supersede, it is not compatible with
acid liquids.
BISMUTH AND LITHIUM CITRATE (SOLUBLE), ‘WELLCOME’ BRAND. This new
combination, in the form of handsome colourless scales, is readily
soluble in water. It is thus particularly convenient when the effects
of both lithium and bismuth are desired, as in gouty dyspepsia.
[Sidenote: 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.
[Sidenote: 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.
[Sidenote: 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.
[Sidenote: 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.
[Sidenote: 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.
