been employed with asserted success in the treatment of
tubercular diseases.
Administration.-This medicament is best adminis-
tered in cachets, in doses of from A to 4 of a grain
(0.004 to o.o16 gramme).
AURI TRICYANIDUM.
(Tricyanide of Gold.)
Tricyanide of gold is used for the same purposes for
which the monocyanide is employed, and in the same
doses.
BEBEERINE.
The principal alkaloid of Nectandra rodicei.
Physical Properties.-Bebeerine, or buxine, as it is
sometimes called, occurs as an amorphous powder, odor-
less, and of an exceedingly bitter taste.
Solubility.-This alkaloid is slightly soluble in water,
but is readily dissolved by alcohol and ether.
Physiological Action.-No very extended researches
have been made regarding the physiological action
of this substance. It is said, however, to exercise a
destructive influence on the lower organisms, but in this
respect it is inferior to the alkaloids of cinchona. On
frogs bebeerine produces muscular weakness accom-
panied with an increase in the number of respirations, fol-
lowed by clonic and tonic general convulsions, although

Therapeutic Applications.-The sulphate of bebeer-

of neuralgia of malarial origin.
Administration.-This drug is administered in doses
of from 2 to 5 grains (0.15 to 0.3 gramme).
