Each fluidrachm (teaspoonful) of the finished elixir contains two grains of valerianate of ammonium, one-fourth grain of cincho-nidine, one-eighth grain of quinine, one grain of pyrophosphate of iron, and one-hundredth grain of strychnine. The alkaloids exist as acetates. This elixir should be as nearly neutral as it is possible to make it.
