NEW YORK PHYSICIANS are cordially invited to communicate to Merck & Co., Uni- versity Place, New York, any suggestions that may tend to improve this book. Whatever the Publishers can do to make MERCK'S MANUAL of still greater service to the Medical Profession will be gladly undertaken for all subsequent editions. Therefore, any Physician who will pro- pose improvements in the subject-matter [especially as regards the Newer Materia Medicd), or in the arrangement, style, and form of this work, will thus be ren- dering valuable service, not only to its Publishers, but to the entire Profession as well. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1905, by MERCK & CO., New York, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE "y^TTH this new edition of MERCK'S MANUAL we wish, first of all, to express our sincere thanks and appreci- ation for the many suggestions we have received from phy- sicians. If the Manual for 1905 has improved upon those of 1899 and 1901-and we believe that it has-it is due in great measure to these suggestions, and we trust that those who find it of service will not hesitate to help us in the future as they have done in the past. The entire text of this volume has been thoroughly edited and revised, and much new matter has been added. Careful selection has been necessary in order to keep the Manual within convenient limits to fulfill the use for which it is in- tended-that of a pocket reference-book for the active phy- sician. The section devoted to Prescription Formulae has been replaced by an up-to-date list of Therapeutic Indications giving the more prominent remedies under each disease, after a conscientious effort to choose those remedies '"hat modern scientific thought has shown most applicable. A comprehensive table, giving dosage of drugs, chemicals, and galenical preparations in frequent use, has been added, and throughout the Manual the metrical equivalents supple- ment the more familiar Apothecaries' system. We have aimed to make the section on Materia Medica as complete as possible, and if any preparations have been left out, the omission has been unintentional on our part. No pains have been spared to make MERCK'S 1905 MANUAL thoroughly serviceable to physicians, and if this object has been attained, we are sufficiently rewarded. January, 1905. MERCK & CO. CONTENTS Part First.-The MATERIA MEDICA, as In actual use to-day by American Physicians. Alphabetically arranged. This part embraces all those simple medicinal substances (that is, drugs and chemicals) which are in current and well-established use in the medical practice of this country; or which, if too recently introduced to be as yet in general use, are vouched for by eminent authorities in medical science; also, the medicinally employed pharma- ceutic preparations recognized by the United States Pharmacopoeia. Added thereto, for the convenience of those practitioners who prescribe them, are medicamen- tous mixtures advertised only to the profession, but whose composition or mode of manufacture has not been made known with sufficient complete- ness or exactness. The doses of all the drugs in the metric system have also been incorporated in the text for the convenience of the physician. Omitted from the Materia Medica part are: Medicaments that have become obsolete or that are too rarely used to be of general interest; and such new remedies as are not yet safely accredited on reliable authority; also those galenic prepara- tions (syrups, extracts, pills, essences, elixirs, wines, emulsions, etc.) which are not standardized according to the U. S. Pharmacopoeia; likewise all articles that are put up and advertised for self- medication by the lay public. Separate Titles in the alphabetic series are accorded, as a rule, to the botanical drugs and other pharmaceutical mother-substances, to proxi- mate principles (alkaloids, glucosides, organic acids, etc.), and to chemical compounds (salts, "synthetics," etc.); while the official galenic pre- parations, solutions and dilutions, derived from Pages 1 to 122 IV them, are mostly mentioned under the titles of their respective mother-substances. Thus, for in- stance, "Dover's Powder" will be found under " Opium," while "Morphine" is described under its own title, Pages 123 to 212 Part Second.-THERAPEUTIC INDI- : CATIONS, for the use of the Materia Medica. Arranged alphabetically under the titles of the various Pathologic Conditions. This part summarizes in brief form, the princi- pal means of treatment for each form of disease, as reported to be in good use among practitioners at: the present time. The statements hereon are drawn from the standard works of the leading modern writers on Therapeutics, and supple- mented-in the case of definite chemicals of more recent introduction-by the reports of reputable clinical investigators. Pages 213 to 220 Part Third.-CLASSIFICATION OF i MEDICAMENTS, according to their Phys- iological Actions. Arranged alphabetically under the titles of the actions. This part recapitulates, for ready survey, such statements as are already given in Part I, as to the modes of action of the various medicaments. Part Fourth.-MISCELLANY. Useful hints and reminders of every-day applicability. This part comprises a comprehensive essay on Poisoning and its Treatment; an exhaustive dose table comprising (1) all the agents official in the United States, Germany, and Great Britain; (2) the preparations of the National Formulary; (3) rarer medicaments; and (4) the newer remedies, up to date, compiled from "Merck's 1896 Index," "Merck's Report," and other standard medical and pharmaceutical literature; a description of the Metric System, with tables of equivalents; a chart showing the diagnostic points of difference between the Eruptive Fevers; a new Obstetrical Chart; and a table showing the frequency of the Pulse and Respiration at Different Ages; Thermo- metric Equivalents ; Approximate Measures; Ap- proximate Metric Equivalents; a Comprehensive Chapter on Urinalysis, etc. Pages 221 to 282 V INDEX TO CONTENTS Pages THE MATERIA MEDICA, as in actual use to-day by American Physicians 5 to 122 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS for the use of the Materia Medica 123 to 212 CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICAMENTS according to their Physiologic Actions 213 to 220 MISCELLANY (Poisons, Antidotes, Dose Table, etc.) 221 to 282 {For Details, see Descriptive Table of Contents on • pages iv and v) ABBREVIATIONS abt.= about alm.=almost alter.= alterative amorph.= amorphous arom.= aromatic caps.= capsule comp.= compound cryst.= crystals or crystalline D=dose decoct.= decoction decomp.= decomposed or de- composition deliq.= deliquescent diaphor.= diaphoretic dil.= dilute or diluted emuls.=emulsion expect.= expectorant ext.= extract extern.= externally F.

To de- termine the dose for children, divide the age by the age plus 12: the result represents the fraction of the adult dose suitable for the child. 3 1 For example, a child three years old will [Hire ■ = -■ of the adult o -f-5 dose. Of powerful narcotics, children will require scarcely more than one- half of this proportion. Children bear opiates poorly ; while they stand comparatively large doses of arsenic, belladonna, ipecac, mercurials, pilo- carpine, rhubarb and some other purgatives, and squill. For hypodermic injection the dose is ordinarily about one-half of that given per os; for rectal use, about one-and-a-half times that by the mouth. The GALENIC PREPARATIONS of the United States Pharmacopoeia, when not listed under their own titles, will be found under the titles of the drugs from which they are derived. Those articles of which the MERCK brand i's on the market, are-for convenience in prescribing-designated accordingly. ^cetanilid Merck.

THE METRIC SYSTEM rnHE metric or decimal system of weights and measures origi- | nated with Prince de Talleyrand, bishop of Antun, in 1790. Its almost universal adoption by civilized nations, its legality (though not compulsion) in England and the United States, and its adoption by the U. S. Pharmacopoeia of 1890, demand that it should be understood by the progressive practicing physician Except in the English-speaking world it is the only system of weights and measures used for governmental, statistical, and scien- tific purposes. It is based upon the decimal system ; that is, the denominations increase by tens and decrease by tenths. The starting-point is the unit of linear measure, the meter, which represents one ten-millionth of the polar quadrant of the earth-that is, the distance from the equator to the poles, and is equivalent to 39.37 English inches. The gramme (Gm.) is the unit of weight; the liter, of capacity (although the cubic centimeter is oftener and preferably used); the are, of surface measure. The denominations representing the sub- divisions of any unit are expressed by prefixing the Latin numerals, deci, centi, and milli to the unit-meaning respectively one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth; the multiples are expressed by prefixing the Greek numerals, deka, hecto, kilo, and myria-mean- ing ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand. The gramme is derived as follows : The meter is divided into one hundred equal parts, called centimeters; upon one centimeter as a base a cube is erected, having for its three dimensions one centi- meter (Cm.) each. The contents of this cube will be one cubic centimeter (Co.), measuring one milliliter. This quantity of distilled water at its maximum density (4° C. =39.2° F.) and 30 inches bar- ometric pressure, weighs one gramme, or 15.432 grains. The liter is derived as follows: The meter is divided into tenths, called decimeters; a cube is erected having a decimeter for each of its three dimensions. The contents of this cube will be one cubic decimeter, the capacity of which is one liter, equivalent to 1,000 Cc., or 33.81 fluid ounces, or 2.113 pints. One liter of distilled water at 4° C. (30 in. barometer) weighs 1,000 grammes, or 1 kilogramme, or 2.2 pounds av., or 15432 grains. Its simplicity, its uniformity and facility of computation would appear to render the metric system of weights and measures far superior to any other system ; and it is not improbable that in the near future it will prevail in the transactions of every-day life, as it has already gained international importance-in fact, it is fre- quently referred to as the International System. One of its greatest difficulties for the physician, however, is the absence of any corre- sp'mdence or relation between the unit of weight (gramme) and the unit of measure (liter), and the consequent want of fluid denomina- tions below the cubic centimeter, corresponding with the deci- gramme, centigramme, and milligramme of the weight scale. (The original and French spelling of the terms denoting the various standard units is metre, gramme, and litre; the Anglicized form is meter, gram, and liter. The U. S. P. of 1890 sanctions a combination of both, thus: meter, gramme, and liter.) 267 WEIGHTS ; MEASURES. PART IV. Relative Valve of Apothecaries' and Metric Measure Cc.

Increased: Irritation of uri- nary tract by uric acid, cal- cium oxalate, etc.; vesical, urethral, and vaginal cat- arrh; also in acute fevers. 274 PART IV. URINALYSIS. The more important abnormal constituents are as follows : Albumin-Present in parenchymatous nephritis, Bright's disease, poisoning by certain substances, rheumatism, infectious fevers, after violent exercise, etc. Sugar.- Present in diabetes ; small quantity may be present tem- porarily after pneumonia, typhus, rheumatism, affections of the brain and spinal cord, etc. Leucin and Tyrosin.-In acute atrophy of liver, and in poisoning by phos- phorus. Fus.-Present in pyelitis, renal abscess, urethritis, cystitis, pros- tatitis, or discharge into the urinary canal of a peri-nephritic, pelvic, or other abscess. May also be of vaginal origin (in leucorrhea). Blood.-From hemorrhage in urethra, neck of bladder, ureters, kidneys, genital tract, or external sources. Acetone.-In diabetes, hydrophobia, and certain febrile con- ditions. Hiacetic Acid.-Mental diseases with excitement, inanition, car- cinoma, and particularly diabetes. Believed to cause diabetic coma. Indican.-Minute quantities present in normal urine, but greatly increased by intestinal obstruction, diseases of liver which in- terfere with bile formation, etc.; also by use of sulphur baths, in Addison's disease, and in early stages of cholera. Ammonium Carbonate.-Vesical catarrh. Hydrogen Sulphide.-Sometimes present in albuminous urine from decomposition of albuminous matter within the bladder. 1.-Ascertain total daily discharge. 2.-Note reaction, odor, and color. If the color is deep yellow, green, or brown, biliary pigments are present; if red or choco- late, hemoglobin. 3.-Take the specific gravity. Determine the solids present by subtracting 1.0 0 from the specific gravity, and multiplying the remainder by 2.33; the result will give the quantity of the solids expressed in grammes in 1.000 Cc. of urine. 4.-Allow to settle, and (a), half fill a test-tube with the clear urine ; boil the upper portion of the liquid ; if a turbidity forms it indicates the pres- ence of Albumin or Phosphates, or both-on adding a drop or two of acetic or nitric acid phosphates dissolve, but albumin does not. Carefully overlay on nitric acid in a test-tube, using a pipette ; if albumin present, a white zone, or flocculent or curdy precipitate forms at zone of contact of the two liquids-the ex- tent of the tubidity gives an idea as to the quantity of albumin present. If the turbidity is greenish, biliary pigment is present; if reddish-brown, blood is likely present. EXAMINATION OF URINE 275 URINALYSIS. PART IV. Urates, if present, may cause a white turbidity to extend upwards into the layer of urine, and later to deposit a crystalline pre- cipitate of uric acid. If both albumin and urates are present, the urates are suspended in the urine above the layer of albu- min. If neither albumin nor urates are present in excess, a brown ring forms at the zone of contact. Indican if present develops a violet or blue zone. Biliary Pigments cause a green zone to form. Urea, if present in excess will afford a crystalline precipitate after mixing the acid and urine and cooling. 5.-Acidulate urine with acetic or nitric acid (avoiding excess), and boil; a precipitate indicates albumin. Add to the urine an equal volume of solution of potassa ; a precipitate indicates Phosphates.-White if no coloring matters are present. Allow to deposit, and note the quantity; if its volume constitutes 1/7 or 1/8 of the liquid in the test-tube it is normal. More or less is abnormal. 6.-Sugar is detected by (a), Fehling's test.-Boil 5 Cc. of Fehling's solution in a test- tube, and if the color does not change, add an equal volume (but not more) of the urine and boil; if sugar is present a yellow to red precipitate forms. If no sugar is present a green color or greenish flocculent precipitate forms. (&), Haine's test (copper sulphate 2 Gm.; glycerin 20 Gm.; caustic potassa 9 Gm.; water 175 Gm.). Boil 4 Cc. of the solution and add 6 to 10 drops (not more) urine, and boil again; if sugar is present a yellow or yellowish-red precipitate forms. WoZe.-In both of these tests the absence of uric acid or urates must be assured, for these also produce a precipitate of cuprous oxide. (c), Nylander's test (bismuth subnitrate 2 Gm.; roehelle salt 4 Gm.j a bsolution of caustic soda 100 Gm.). Mix 10 Cc. of the urine and 1 Cc. of the solution and boil; if sugar is present, a dark color develops owing to the reduction of the bismuth salt. (Albumin interferes with the reaction.) (d), Phenylhydrazine test.-Heat 1 Gm. phenylhydrazine hydrochlorate, 2 Gm. sodium acetate, and 25 Cc. of the urine in a test-tube. If the salts do not completely dissolve, add a very little water, and place the test-tube in boiling water. After 20 minutes remove to cold water; if sugar is present, characteristic crystals of phenylglucosazone form. 7.-Biliary Pigments are detected by (a), Oliver's peptone test (peptone 30 grn.; salicylic acid 4 grn.; acetic acid 30 min.; water to make 8 fl. oz.). Mix 1 fl. dr. of the solution with 20 min. of urine (this must first be diluted to a sp. gr. of 1.008, if higher); a trace of biliary acids causes the formation of a faint cloudiness, but if an excess is present, a milky cloud appears, the intensity being in direct proportion to the quantity of biliary acids present. (&), Heller's test.-Mix sufficient urine with 5 or 6 Cc. of hydrochloric acid to color the latter, and carefully overlay the mixture on nitric acid; if biliary pigments are present a play of colors (green being the most characteristic) develops at the zone of contact. See also under No. 4. 276 PART IV. URINALYSIS. (c), From a height of about 4 inches slowly pour 2 volumes of urine into 1 volume of sulphuric acid in a test-tube ; a deep farnet-red color develops if urine is normal, but if altered iliary pigments or an excess of coloring matters are present, the mixture acquires a dark, approaching black, color. Note.-Senna, santonin, rhubarb, creosote, and some other remedial agents impart an abnormal color to urine. To differen- tiate, add hydrochloric acid to some urine in a test-tube ; if any remedial agents are present, a more or less pronounced yellow color develops. To another portion of the urine add an excess of solution caustic potassa; a fine red color develops if reme- dial agents are present. 8.-To determine the presence of Chlorides, add a few drops nitric acid to some urine (to prevent precipitation of phosphates) and then gradually add solution of silver nitrate; a white precipitate forms, the quantity of which by comparison with that from a normal urine will afford a rough estimate of the quantity of chorides present. If chlorides are scanty, a milky cloudiness forms instead of a precipitate. 5.-Sulphates are detected by using barium chloride instead of silver nitrate as in No. 8. 10.-Pus is detected by Donna's test.-Add a fragment of caustic soda or potassa to the sediment collected in a conical glass by allowing to deposit and then pouring off the supernatant liquid; on stirring, pus is colored greenish, and gelatinizes to a lumpy mass. (A sediment of mucus is partially dissolved with the formation of a flocculent precipitate.) 11.-Blood is detected by mixing equal volumes of fresh tincture of guaiac and ozonized oil turpentine (obtained by long ex- posure to air), and overlaying the mixture on urine in a test- tube ; at the zone of contact a grayish precipitate forms, and just above this an indigo-blue ring, if blood is present. On shaking, the entire mixture becomes blue. 12.-Acetone may be detected by (a), Lieben's test.-Dissolve 20 grn. potassium iodide in 60 min. boiling solution caustic potassa, and upon the solution in a test-tube then float a layer of the urine ; at the zone of con- tact a layer of phosphates forms which, if acetone was present, becomes yellow and studded with yellow points of iodoform. The test is rendered more delicate by distilling a small quantity of the urine, and applying the test to the distillate. (&), Le Noble's test.-On adding a very dilute alkaline solu- tion of sodium nitroprusside to urine containing acetone, a ruby-red color develops, changing in a few minutes to yellow, and on boiling, after adding acid, to greenish add blue or violet. 13.-Diacetic Acid is detected by adding to the urine a few drops of ferric-chloride solution ; if present a dark-red color develops which disappears on boiling (differentiation from that possibly caused by the presence of salicylic acid, phenol, antipyrine, or thalline, in the urine). 14.-Indican is detected by (a), MacMunn's test.-Boil equal volumes of urine and hydrochloric acid with a few drops nitric acid, cool, and then shake with chloroform ; the chloroform becomes more or less violet according to the quantity of indican present. 277 URINALYSIS. PART IV. (5), Ehrlich's diazo-reaction.-For this two solutions are made: (1) Sulphanilic acid 1 Gm.; hydrochloric acid 25 Cc.; dist. water 500 Cc.; and (2) Sodium nitrite 1 Gm.; dist. water 200 Cc. To carry out the test, mix 50 Cc. of No. 1 with 1 Cc. of No. 2, add an equal volume of the urine, and make strongly alkaline with ammonia. If the reaction is positive, the solution acquires a carmine-red color, which must also be imparted to the foam on shaking; and on allowing to stand 24 hours a greenish precipitate forms. 15.-Urea is detected by concentrating the urine by evaporation on the water-bath and adding nitric acid. Under the micro- scope the crystals appear as rhombicplates. The determination is effected by (a), Hypobromite method.-The long arm (and a small part of the bulb) of a Doremus ureometer is filled with hypobromite solution (100 Gm. caustic soda dissolved in 250 Cc. dist. water, and when cold, 25 Cc. bromine added), and 1 Cc. of the urine is then discharged by means of a pipette up the long arm. The urea is decomposed, and the liberated nitrogen collects in the upper part of the long arm, the volume being then read off after 15 minutes or so by means of the graduations on the arm. In instruments graduated to read fractions of a gramme to the Cc. the percentage of urea is read by moving the decimal point of the number read two figures to the right; thus, were the reading 0.02 Gm. per Cc., it would indicate 2 percent, urea. (6), Fowler's differential method (based upon the difference in sp. gr. of urine before and after decomposition by hypo- chlorites). To one volume (say 30 Cc.) of urine in a hydrometer jar add 7 volumes solution chlorinated soda, and after the lapse of seven hours, and occasional stirring, take the specific gravity. The specific gravity of the urine-hypochlorite mixture is ascer- tained by multiplying the sp. gr. of the hypochlorite solution by 7, adding the sp. gr. of the urine, and dividing the sum by 8. The difference between this sp. gr. and that found after de- composition is then multiplied by 0.77, and the result will be the percentage of urea present in the urine. 16.-Uric Acid and Urates are detected by (a), Strongly acidualting urine with hydrochloric acid and setting aside for 24 hours ; yellowish-red crystals of uric acid deposit. (b), Murexide test.-Evaporate to dryness a few drops of urine in a watch-glass or porcelain dish, add a drop or two of nitric acid, again cautiously evaporate, and then add a drop or two of ammonia; a fine purple color develops if uric acid or a urate is present. 278 PART IV.
