Compound Elixir of Taraxacum. As prepared by Mr. Oandidus for Dr. Cochran, of Mobile. Reduce the following ingredients to a moderately fine powder 6 ounces taraxacum root, 4 oimces wild cherry bark, 1 ounce gentian root, 2 ounces orange peel, 1 ounce cinnamon, 1 ounce coriander sc, 2 drachms each anise, caraway and cardamom seeds, and 1 ounce liquorice root. Dilute sufficient alcohol with twice its bulk of water, and moisten the powdered ingredients with 6 ounces of it, pack in a conical percolator and displace 64 pints with the duuted alcohol. 

Starch is recommended as indicator, but it is preferable to titrate without it except in the case of Compound Powder of Liquorice, where it is necessary. The rapidity of solution of the sulphur depends upon its state of division and the nature of the material to be analysed, the time required being longest with flowers of sulphur. The simple expedient of using a broad 250-ml conical flask is an advantage to aid rapid solution of the sulphur.
