It is to be spread out upon a piece of glass, so as to form a very thin layer, which is to be dried at a temperature of 1 00° over hot water, or in vacuo over sulphuric acid.
Page 155 - After this has subsided the greater part of the liquor can be poured off, the rest being filtered through a small filter. The clear liquid is now distilled to obtain the greater part of the spirit used, and the remaining liquid poured into a capsule, to which is added the spirit and the water by which the distilling apparatus is subsequently washed. The capsule is now heated on a water-bath till all the spirit has been expelled, and the remaining liquor which contains all the alkaloids in the form...
Page 267 - ... does not appear to be at all dependent on the nerve affected, it being equally efficacious in neuralgia of the sciatic as of the trigeminus. I have found it of the greatest service in neuralgia of the larynx, and in relieving spasmodic cough of a nervous or hysterical character.
Page 302 - In searching for the presence of leaves other than those of the tea plant, the best method is to heat a small quantity of the suspected tea with water until the leaves are sufficiently softened to admit of being unfolded. They should then be spread out on a piece of glass and carefully examined as to the nature of the...

The deep red particles of the chili can then be recognized, and also the camphor-like fragments of rice. The mustard husks are known by their cup-like shape, while the smooth shiny appearance of the linseed readily distinguishes it from the dull brown of the pepper.
Page 321 - With pure butter the thermometer is obscured between 74° and 68°, and the mass is solid at 60°. Beef dripping obscures the thermometer at 79°, and is solid at 72°. Mutton dripping obscures the thermometer at about 85°, and is solid at 84°. Lard obscures the thermometer at 84°, and is solid at from 79° to 70°, but it often remains as soft as butter at a much lower temperature. Mixtures solidify at intermediate temperatures.
Page 155 - ... sulphates, is, after cooling, filtered through a small filter. On the filter remains a mixture of quinovic acid and fatty substances, which must be washed repeatedly with water slightly acidulated by sulphuric acid till caustic soda no longer produces any turbidity in the passing liquid. The filtrate is now reduced .to a small volume by heating on a water-bath, and while still warm precipitated by a slight excess of caustic soda. The benefit derived from this kind of precipitation is that the...
Page 135 - Geele bloemetjes, closely resemble saffron in smell and taste ; they possess similar medical properties, and as an antispasmodic, anodyne and stimulant, ought to rank with the Crocus sativus. Here they have as yet been only used with success in the convulsions of children, but they deserve a more general trial. On account of the fine orange...

An obvious application of his method was to treat a mixture of dry hydrogen and nitrogen in a similar manner as those referred to above, with the view of effecting the synthesis of ammonia ; and Sir B. Brodie kindly allowed me the use of his apparatus for the purpose of the experiment, which was conducted as follows : — A mixture of about three volumes of hydrogen with one of nitrogen in a bell-jar over water, was passed through two tubes containing...
