This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The former class of compounds are termed mercuric (per) salts; the latter, mercirous (sub) salts, and the contrast between their formula?, &c, will readily appear from the subjoined table of the officinal compounds:--The best general test for mercury, whether in the mercurous or mercuric state, is the copper test. If any salt of mercury be heated in a test tube with a piece of clean copper, and a few drops of hydrochloric acid, the mercury will be deposited on the copper, and can be easily separated as a colourless sublimate of minute globules by heating the copper. That is, the white metal is thrown down on the surplus red metal, an equivalent of which is dissolved; the converse of the test for copper in solution, wherein the red metal, copper, is deposited on the white metal, iron, or zinc. Persalts of mercury are often soluble in ether (c. g. corrosive sxiblimate and red iodide) when their corresponding subsalts are not, and they may be thus separated from each other. Hercury and its compounds are volatile, and by distillation it can be separated from other contaminating metals. Some of its compounds are prepared by the process of sublimation, e. g. calomel, and corrosive sublimate. Several mercurial compounds are decomposed by light, e. g. green iodide, and, to a less extent, calomel, and others are decomposed by the addition of water, e. g. the sulphate and nitrate yield yellow basic salts. So much confusion has arisen from change of nomenclature, and the danger of confounding the chlorides and the iodides, especially, is so serious that accuracy is particularly necessary in writing prescriptions for mercurials.
