=6. Hypodermic Injection of Quinine.= Three to 6 gr. of _neutral_ sulphate
of quinine placed on a watch glass, previously warmed, without acid; to
this add 12 minims of distilled water, and apply a moderate heat by a
spirit lamp for a second, or two. The syringe should be warmed before
being used.
Dr Rosenthal advocates the use of glycerin as a medium for the solution of
various substances used for subcutaneous injection. The glycerin must be
very pure. By gradual elevation of temperature it can be made to take up a
large number of certain alkaloids and salts, and will retain them
dissolved for a year. 1 fl. dr. will dissolve one scruple of sulphate of
quinine, and 10 gr. of hydrochlorate of morphia. Dr Rosenthal states that
the injection of quinine has been found very useful in intermittents.
