Merck's 1907 Index an Encyclopedia for the Chemist, Pharmacist and Physician (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Merck's 1907 Index an Encyclopedia for the Chemist, Pharmacist and Physician
Furthermore, we have added the crude drugs of commerce and have indicated under each drug the dose of its extracts, tinctures, fluid extracts, etc., instead of grouping all extracts, tinctures, etc., together as in the previous editions of the Index. We have given the specific gravities at 15° C.; in many cases, following the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, we have also given them at 25° C.
As the Index is not intended to be a price-list we give no prices, but instead we give what may be called comparative values. That is to say, wherever possible we have placed a number Opposite the name of the product, and if such a number is compared with the numbers at the foot of each left-hand page the comparative value of the article so numbered will be at once apparent. For instance, Duboisine Sulphate Merck bears the number 875, its value lies, therefore, between that of Gold Tribromide Merck (the comparative value of which is 570) and that of Eserine Sulphate Merck (the comparative value of which is Or again, if neither of these two products suggests anything very definite, 875 can be considered as approximately 4x225, or 16x55, or 20x44, or 35x25, or 80x11, or 175x5, or 220x4, or 300x3, or 400 x 2, or 900x1; and consequently the value of Duboisine Sulphate - bearing this number 875 is about 4 times that of Aconitine, 16 times that of Morphine Sulphate, 20 times that of Veratrine, 35 times that of Strych nine, 80 times that of Silver Nitrate, 17 5 times that of Iodoform,220 times that of Potassium Iodide, 300 times that of Guaiacol, 400 times that of Salol, and 900 times that of such cheaper articles as Cerium Oxalate or Calcium Hypophosphite. Some of these products are familiar to every one and can, therefore, be used as an easy basis for comparison.
