thymacetin, tolypyrin, tolysal, tribromphenol, trional, tumenol, uralium, urethane. This makes 114 new definite chemical products—and the list is not exhausted. It may also be urged that some of these products have been in use longer than ten years. This is the case only with naphthol, which was first recommended as an antiseptic in 1881; but we have omitted several legitimate new naphthol compounds, so that a balance is maintained. Other products, as acetanilid, guaiacol, anilin colors, pental, etc., were known as chemical products; but their medicinal application dates back less than ten years. Referring to above list, a casual examination shows, that about thirty-three are patented products; between fifty-five and sixty bear proprietary “utility” names (including the thirty-three patented); and about thirty are absolutely free and non-proprietary. We may publish an accurate division with details on some future occasion.—_Notes on New Remedies._ * * * * * LLARETA; A NEW ANTIGONORRHŒIC.—Dr. Infante (_Aerztl. Rundschau_). Llareta is the abbreviated name for _Haplopapus Llareta_, a plant growing abundantly in Chili, and with which the author claims to have obtained a radical cure within ten to fifteen days in every case of gonorrhœa in which it was tried. The following is his formula: Fluid Extract Llareta 1 part. Distilled water 30 parts. Tablespoonful twice daily. —_Amer. Med. Surg. Bulletin._ * * * * * DISINFECTIN.—(_Pharm. Zeitschr. f. Russl._) Disinfectin is the name of a preparation intended for ordinary disinfection, said to be obtained as follows: 5 parts of the residue left in distilling crude naphtha are thoroughly mixed with one part (by volume) of concentrated sulphuric acid, and allowed to cool. The fluid portion is separated from the sediment, and gradually mixed with an equal volume of ten per cent. soda solution, and well shaken. Thus is obtained a yellowish-brown emulsion,—disinfectin,—which, when intended for use, is diluted with four parts of hot water, and thoroughly shaken.—_Amer. Med. Surg. Bulletin._ * * * * * HIPPURIC ACID AS A DIURETIC.—This acid, obtained[1] from the urine of the cow, is a favorite diuretic with many French practitioners. Dujardin-Beaumetz prescribes it combined with lime: ℞ Hippuric acid 25 grammes Milk of lime sufficient to neutralize it. Simple syrup 500 grammes Essence of lemon to flavor. Four to six tablespoonfuls daily. As before mentioned it is excreted in the urine as benzoic acid.—_Provincial Medical Journal._ * * * * *
