Abstract: Stable aqueous peroxide dentifrice gel compositions which are stable against both viscosity and peroxide loss and which contain up to about 15% by weight of aqueous peroxide, and from about 35% to about 95% by weight of a polyol or a mixture of polyols, from about 0.75% to about 5.0% by weight of a gelling agent and from about 0.05% to about 1.0% by weight of stabilizers are disclosed.
Abstract: Clear, water-proof sunscreen compositions, including a film-forming resin, a solvent, an ultra-violet sunscreening agent and emollients are disclosed. The compositions when spread on the skin leave an elegant non-greasy, non-tacky film with a superior resistance to removal by water and which provide prolonged high level protection for human skin to ultraviolet radiation.
Abstract: A method and composition for the elimination of fleas and ticks as well as the prevention and/or control of flea and tick infestation of animals, particularly household pets, which comprises applying a substantive, controlled release, coating of a solution of a polymeric material and an insecticide to the shafts of hair of the animal's coat.

Abstract: Uniform, clear gelled antiperspirant compositions, free of waxes and conventional gelling agents are disclosed. The gel emulsions comprise in combination a volatile silicone fluid, a silicone emulsifier, a destabilizing auxillary emulsifier, water, a non-volatile emollient, a coupling agent, an active antiperspirant component and ancillary agents.
Abstract: A compact apparatus for the extraction and delivery of measured quantities of liquid characterized by a fine adjustment of the stroke of the operating rod whereby accurately controlled measured amounts of liquids may be lifted and delivered is disclosed.
Abstract: A novel, efficient, economical procedure for the synthesis of ethers of n-propanoldiamine having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a straight or branched chain lower alkyl group or an aralkyl group, Ar is an aromatic group, Ar.sup.1 is an aromatic or heterocyclic group, A is a tertiary aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic amino group and addition salts thereof with pharmacologically acceptable acids.
Abstract: Water-proof sunscreen compositions, including a cellulosic polymer, a solvent, an ultra-violet sunscreening agent and an emollient are disclosed. The compositions when spread on the skin leave an elegant non-greasy, non-tacky film with a superior resistance to removal by water and which provide prolonged high level protection for human skin to ultraviolet radiation.
Abstract: Compositions for the relief of pain, muscle spasm and limited mobility associated with acute painful muscoloskeletal conditions are disclosed. Such compositions comprise in combination, a N-monosubstituted-2, 2-dialkyl-1, 3-propanediol dicarbamate and aspirin.

Abstract: The stool sampling device is a pliant laminate which can be used to obtain direct anal stool smears for use in testing for occult blood in the stool. Predetermined fold lines are disposed on the laminate, and combine with linear adhesive strips so that, after the stool smear is on the device, the laminate can be folded quickly and easily into a closed pouch. The adhesive is preferably releasable so that the pouch can be reopened for stool testing purposes. The stool-receiving layer of the pliant laminate may be removed, if desired, from the remainder of the device to be used in special chromatographic testing of the stool specimen.
Abstract: Method for applying loose, free-flowing powder compositions to the skin from a dispensing container utilizing a dispensing ball or roller containing filamentous hair-like projections over its exterior surface, and dry antiperspirant powder compositions based on particulate aluminum and/or zirconium chlorohydrate as the active antiperspirant ingredient including minor amounts of a surfactant vehicle to aid in maintaining the powder on the skin after contact therewith.
Abstract: The device is usable by a patient to self-obtain a relatively constant volume stool sample for use in testing for gastro-intestinal bleeding. The device is a multi-layered pad which can be dispensed by a physician or the like to the patient and which the patient can use in privacy. The device may be used in the same manner as toilet tissue to obtain the stool sample after defecation or the stool may be indirectly applied to the device. Excess stool sample is discarded in the toilet and an appropriate amount of the stool sample is retained on the pad. The pad is then sealed and returned to the physician or testing laboratory hermetically sealed. The seal is broken, the test is performed, and then the pad is resealed hermetically and discarded.
Abstract: Foam products are disclosed which are produced by incorporating active materials, utilizing in situ methods, into the cell structure of hydrophillic polyurethane foams. The products obtained are characterized by a controlled rate of release of the active material from the foam structure.
Abstract: A novel chemical compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or branched or straight chain lower alkyl of from 1-6 carbon atoms as well as methods for preparing such compounds.
Abstract: A highly sensitive direct particle agglutination test capable of routinely detecting as little as 0.2 nanograms of antigen per milliliter of clinical fluid and characterized by uniform sensitivity as well as stability is disclosed as well as coated particles having a sensitivity of 0.2 nanograms antigen per milliliter and methods for preparing such coated particles. In addition, a method to reduce the frequency of non-specific agglutination with human sera to 2% or less is described.
