PREFACE
In presenting Mercys 1907 Index we need but refer to the
popularity of previous editions and to point to the title page
of the work, which fully shows its scope and defines its field of
usefulness to the chemist, the pharmacist, and the physician
in other words, to the users of drugs and fine chemical products.
In order to bring the Index up to date in this edition we
have added the newest products, adopted the latest nomen-
clature, consulted the most modern authorities, and, for the
M^rck products, verified the data in our laboratories and our
works.
Furthermore, we have added the crude drugs of commerce
and have indicated under each drug the dose of its extracts,
tinctures, fluid extracts, etc., instead of grouping all extracts,
tinctures, etc., together as in the previous editions of the Index.
We have given the specific gravities at 15 C. ; in many cases,
following the TJ. S. Pharmacopoeia, we have also given them at
25 a
As the Index not intended to be a price-list we give no
is
prices, but instead give what may be called comparaUve

we
values. That is to say, wherever possible we have placed a
number opposite the name of the product, and if such a number
is compared with the numbers at the foot of each left-hand page
the comparative value of the article so numbered will be at

once apparent. For instance, Duboisine Sulphate Merck bears
the number 875, its value between that of Gold
lies, therefore,
Tribromide Merck (the comparative value of which is 570) and
that of Eserine Sulphate Merck (the comparative value of which
is 1111). Or again, if neither of these two products suggests
anything very definite, 875 can be considered as approximately
4 X 225, or 16 x 55, or 20 x M, or 35 x 25, or 80 x 11, or 175 x 5,
or 220 X 4, or 300 x 3, or 400 x 2, or 900 x 1 and consequently
;

the value of Duboisine Sulphate bearing this number 875
is about 4 times that of Aconitine, 16 times that of Morphine
Sulphate, 20 times that 6i Yeratrine, 35 times that of Strych-

nine, 80 times that of Silver Mtrate, 175 times that of Iodoform,
220 times that of Potassium Iodide, 300 times that of Guaiacol,
400 times that of Salol, and 900 times that of such cheaper
articles as Cerium Oxalate or Calcium Hypophosphite. Some
of these products are familiar to every one and can, therefore,
be used as an easy basis for comparison.
Another point to which we wish to draw attention, as we
were questioned frequently in regard to it in connection with
previous editions of the Index, is the means by which products
may be known to be obtainable of the Merck hrand. Eor that
purpose we have put the designation Merck after the name of
every product procurable of the Merck hrand. On page 299,
for instance, Nicotine and its salts Nigrosine Niobium and its
; ;
compounds ; the various isomers of Nitraniline and Mtran- ;
isol (ortho), are to be had of the Merck hrand: whereas

Nigella Damascena, Nigella Sativa, Nikiforoff's Borax-Carmine,
and Nirvanin are not. Merck's products being the standard,
we cannot recommend too strongly for the sake of accuracy of
results and uniformity of action, that when ordering such arti-
cles as bear this designation Merck, you should always
Specify MERCK'S on your orders.
