4686. Compound Syrup of Assafoe-tida

4686.     Compound Syrup of Assafoe-tida. The disagreeable smell and taste of assafoetida prevents to a great extent the general use of this valuable drug. Mr. Rambo, in the Journal of Pharmacy, proposes the following recipe, which unites the properties of assafoetida with those of wild cherry, and is free from above objections. Take 1 ounce assafcetida and 2 ounces carbonate of magnesia; rub these together, gradually adding 1 pint infusion of wild cherry bark, and filter. Trans far the filtrate to a bottle, and dissolve in it by agitation 24 ounces white sugar. This preparation resembles the syrup of wild cherry in appearance.
