Tinctura

The tinctura iodi of the British Pharmacopoeia is a soln. of half an ounce of iodine, and a quarter of an ounce of potassium iodide in a pint of rectified spirit. P. Wantig found the mol. ht. of soln. —1 941 Cals., and S. U. Pickering —1 714 per 880 mol. of ethyl alcohol. C. Lowig found that alcoholic tincture of bromine is slowly decomposed in darkness, rapidly in light. Alcoholic soln. of iodine, according to H. E. Barnard, are stable in light and in darkness, but according to J. M. Eder they decompose 1000 times more slowly than chlorine water under similar conditions T. Budde has shown that hydriodic acid, acetic ester, and aldehyde are formed, and the electrical conductivity of the soln. increases. J. H. Mathews and E. H. Archibald and W. A. Patrick found a freshly prepared AT-soln. to have an electrical conductivity of 2 4 XlO-6 reciprocal ohms and a sat. soln., 1 61 X10 4 reciprocal ohms at 25°. The decomposition is accelerated by the presence of platinum. The heat of soln. decreases with concentration from —7 92 to —7 42 cals, respectively for dilute and sat. soln. in methyl alcohol, and likewise from —4 88 to —5 22 cals, for similar soln. in ethyl alcohol. The solubility of iodine in aq. soln. of propyl alcohol is not very different from that in ethyl alcohol.

Eventually it became clear that the syndrome was associated with the use of an extract of Jamaica ginger, normally sold for medicinal purposes. Remedies like this were popular at the time and some of them were well known, for example the Vegetable Compound of Lydia Pinkham ( Lily the Pink). The ginger was dissolved in up to 90 per cent alcohol to produce a syrup or tincture (for example, Tinctura Zingiberis was 90 per cent alcohol). A few drops in water would usually be taken, and the extract was sold in pharmacies in 2 oz bottles. Popularly known as Jake , the remedy had been in use since the nineteenth century for the treatment of minor ailments such as colds, period pains, headaches, and flatulence and to aid digestion. ...
