Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1850, Vol. 16 There is a force in the anglo-saxon character, which, if once brought to bear on any object, will gain its end, or bring about material changes in the condition of the things opposed to it; and the results of its energetic manifestations in favor of pharmaceutical reform have been greatly pro portioned to the unanimity of sentiment, and combination of will, exhibited by the acting party.

Excerpt from American Journal of Pharmacy, 1861, Vol. 9 With us, the demand has become quite frequent of late for silver and gold coated pills, several eminent practitioners prescribing this elegant finish, and we have acquired some experience in the manipulation. The above represents an apparatus we have had turned to order from hard wood for use in this process. In rolling the pills, care is taken to use no dusting powder of any kind, and to have them moderately damp, otherwise we moisten them with a little syrup, and then introduce them into the hollow sphere along with the requisite quantity of silver or gold leaf; a rapid motion is now given to the globe, and in a few seconds the pills are removed with a clear and bright coating. One dozen pills of average size, require one sheet of foil, and larger numbers in the same proportion. Some difficulty is experienced in giving a handsome coating to pills of Quevenne's Metallic Iron, on account of their black color; this can only be obviated by the use of a larger proportion of foil, which may be objectionable as interfering with their solubility notwithstanding its extreme tenuity. The taste of the pills is of course disguised in proportion to the completeness of the coating; in dispensing, no powder is necessary, the tendency to adhere to each other being obviated. Some of the old recipes direct to use a gallipot laid against the palm of the hand, for coating pills with the foil. We have found two porcelain capsules fitted to each other, the opening at the lips being covered by the thumb, to serve a very good purpose; but there is a decided saving in the use of an apparatus as above figured, any portion of the foil not adhering to one charge of pills will be ready for the next, besides the advantage which is gained by the leverage of the handle.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1897, Vol. 69 When the kino exudes it is of the consistency of molasses, and has a sourish odor. In a few days it dries into a solid mass, which subsequently becomes quite friable. It is owing to this property (shared by other kinos of my turbid group )that it cannot be collected in an indurated condition by simple picking from the bark of the trees, as can kinos belonging to my ruby and gummy groups, which do not become friable with age. As much as 4 gallons have been procured from one tree, but this is exceptional. On an average, not more than 1 quart per tree is obtained, and from the majority of trees no appreciable quantity of kino is obtained by tapping. Many are all but free from it. The usual price paid on the Murray River at the present time, for liquid kino (before induration) is 7d. Per pound, and a large quantity could be forthcoming at that price, if a steady demand were to set in for it. A good workingman can procure between 10 and 12 pounds per day of the liquid kino. It loses but little weight in drying. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
