=Pills, Anderson's Scot's.= Various formulae for these pills are extant, the products of which differ widely from the genuine article. Dr Paris, some years since, declared that they consisted of Barbadoes aloes, jalap, and oil of aniseed. "A careful examination of the proprietary article, with other facts that have come to our knowledge, leads us to believe that the first of the following formulae is the one now employed in the preparation of the 'Grana Angelica,' or 'Anderson's True Scot's Pills,' of the present day." (Cooley.)

_Prep._ 1. From Barbadoes aloes, 7 lbs.; jalap (in fine powder), 2-1/4 lbs.; treacle, 1/2 lb.; soap, 6 oz.; melted together by the heat of a warm bath, and, when partly cold, aromatised by stirring in of oil of aniseed, 1 oz. The ma.s.s is divided into about 3-1/2-gr. pills, of which 26 or 27 are placed in each 1_s._ 1-1/2_d._ box. A mild and useful aperient.--_Dose_, 5 to 15 gr., or more.

2. (Original formula.) Socotrine aloes, 1 oz.; best myrrh, 1/4 oz.; saffron, 1 dr.; separately pounded very fine; mix them, in an earthen pipkin, with a spoonful each of water and sweet oil, by the heat of a slow fire, and form the ma.s.s into "common-sized pills." From a copy of the original doc.u.ment in the Chapel of the Rolls.

3. (P. Cod.) Aloes and gamboge, of each 6 dr.; oil of aniseed, 1 dr.; syrup, q. s.; mix, and divide into 4-gr. pills. Much more powerful than the preceding, and closely resembling Morison's 'No. 2 pills.'

4. (Phil. Coll. of Pharm.) Barbadoes aloes (in powder), 3 lbs., Castile soap, 1/2 lb.; colocynth and gamboge (both in fine powder), 2 oz.; oil of aniseed, 1 oz.; beat to a ma.s.s with water, q. s., and divide it into 3-gr.

pills. Less active than the last, but more so than the 'True Scot's Pills.'

=Pills, Antimonial (Compound).= _Syn._ PILULae ANTIMONIALIS COMPOSITae, P.

ANTIMONII CO., L. _Prep._ 1. Antimonial powder, 1/2 dr.; calomel, camphor, and powdered opium, of each 6 gr.; conserve of roses, q. s.; divide into 4-gr. pills.--_Dose_, 2, at night; in acute rheumatism, neuralgia, chronic coughs, &c.
