Cod-liver Oil and Lacto-Phosphate of Lime

(Shinn.) Cod-liver oil, 1 pint; oil of bitter almonds, peppermint, and winter green, of each 10 drops; powder of gum Arabic 4 oz.; sugar, 6 oz.; solution of lac to-phosphate of lime (60 gr. to 1 fl. oz.), 6 1 ⁄ 2 fl. oz.; lime water, 6 1 ⁄ 2 fl. oz. Mix the gum and sugar in a capacious mortar, and make a smooth mucilage with the lime water and 3 oz. of the solution of lac to-phosphate of lime. Add the volatile oils to the cod-liver oil, and gradually triturate them with the mucilage, until a perfect emulsion is formed. Finally, add the rest of the solution of the lac to-phosphate of lime, and mix thoroughly.
