With these remarks we introduce the following explanatory notes: NOTES TO LIST OF CONCENTRATIONS, ALKALOIDS, ETC. (Pages 45. 46.) A. Products thus marked are not definite compounds, nor do they accordwith or permit of any scientific chemical nomenclature. They were introducedin the early days of American medicine, and were originally known as Eclectic. CALVIN NEWTON, M. D. THE ECLECTIC ALKALOIDS. Resinoids, but were never advocated by such Eclectic authorities as King andScudder.

I is possessed of energeticqualities and needs to be carefully administered. Overdoses produce violentheadaches. C. This is a precipitate from a strong alcoholic extract of Euon)rmus(Wahoo), by means of sodium carbonate and alum solutions.
