Soak the gelatin in the water for twelve hours, with occasional stirring; then add the glycerin, dissolve on a water-bath, and evaporate so as to produce 100 (20 ounces) of the gelato-glycerin.

This preparation is used for nasal bougies. If required for pessaries, the official glycerin suppository mass may be used, or 18 of gelatin may be mixed with 64 of glycerin and 18 of water.
