Strana 439 - ... converted into iodides, which combine. The mass by solution in water is converted into an hydriodate of arsenic and mercury. The quantities of the two metals are so adjusted, that, when converted into protoxides by decomposition of a portion of the water in which they are dissolved, there will be eight grains of protoxide of arsenic, and sixteen of protoxide of mercury. The quantity of water is such that each drachm measure of the solution will contain exactly one-eighth of a grain of protoxide...

Esq.) ; and by the weakness of the refluent current always imparting to it the softness of the bellows-murmur, an inferior degree...
Strana 470 - Leman's biscuit powder,' soaked for twelve hours in cold spring-water, then boiled for half an hour, not simmered, or it will turn sour. Very little sugar to be added to the food, and then only at the time when given. " Sweets of every kind are most injurious, producing acidity, flatulency, and indigestion, sores in the mouth, and disordered secretions. " An infant will take medicine the more readily if made lukewarm in a cup placed in hot water, adding a very little sugar when given. " The warm...
Strana 471 - ... and the reason why this stage is not more generally recognized is, that the accompanying symptoms are frequently so slight as to attract very little the attention of the patient, and thus are suffered to remain without treatment, until a profuse hemorrhage, or some violent fit of pain, sounds the alarm, and then, on examination, the disease is found to have passed into its second stage ; the surrounding tissues are indurated and consolidated with the organ concerned, and no human means hitherto...

It cannot be properly conjoined with tincture of opium, or with sulphate, muriate, or acetate of morphia ; for all these produce immediate and 'copious precipitates in it. Hence if opiates are to be used during the exhibition of this arsénico-mercurial liquor, they must bo taken at different periods of the day.
