CHAPTER VII.
FORMULAE FOR THE PREPARATION OF SWEET TABLETS
The subjoined formulae are published to serve for guidance in the preparation of sweet tablets and as a basis for further study and improvement.
The doses given are children's doses, none of them exceeding a dose safe for a child three years of age. Most of the tablets carry as large a dose as can well be given in this way; which in some cases, though not in many, is not sufficient for a three-year-old child. Where a larger dose can easily be disguised in the same manner, this fact is noted in connection with the formulae.
A warning may not be amiss, in this connection, not to put up in this form anything that does not result in a faultlessly pleasant, actually delicious candy. For confidence once lost is not easily restored.
Formulae for the preparation of the stock sugars referred to in this formulary will be found in Chapter VIII. They can all be prepared extemporaneously. The drying necessary after the addition of coloring may be expedited by the use of a warm mortar. Nevertheless, alternate formulae have been inserted in most instances to facilitate rapid extemporaneous compounding, in case the stock sugar be not at hand.
While most of these tablets keep well, a few deteriorate. In any case, the freshly prepared tablet will be found more pleasant than one that has become stale by being kept in stock.
Should difficulty be experienced in the compression of some of these tablets, the addition of a little shaved paraffin by gentle trituration in a mortar; or the stirring in of a little talcum powder with a spatula; or both measures combined will probably overcome the trouble. Some powders work best with light pressure; others require rather heavy pressure.
