    solution with purified animal charcoal, filter, concentrate _by evaporation, at a gentle heat, and crystallize by refi geration. Liquid Benzoate of Ammonia, as used in Prussia, | is made by saturating strong water of ammonia with ben- zoic acid, with the aid of heat, and filtering the solution, | Dose, mxv to f3ij, in chronic bronchitis. Also to pre= vent the formation of chalk-stones, and uric calculi. Dose of the salt, gr. x—xv. ei: Ammonia Bicarponas. D. Expose finely-powdered sesqui-_ carbonate of ammonia to the air, on a sheet of paper, for 24 hours. Enclose it in a well-stopped bottle. [Rosz prepares it by pouring on the sesquicarbonate sufficient boiling water to dissolve it, and immediately closing the vessel. Crystals form containing 22 per cent. of water.] — Dose, gr. v to xx. 3 Ammoniz Bitartras. To a solution of a given quantity of tartaric acid, add q. s. of ammonia or its carbonate to neutralize it; then add to it a solution of the same quan- tity of tartaric acid. The bitartrate precipitates. + AmMont& Carponas Pyro-oLEosuM. See Sal Cornu Cervi. Ammonia CitTras. See Liquor Ammonie Citratis. | Ammonim Hypriopas. P. Ammonii Iodidum. Digest iodine with half its weight of clean iron-filings, in dis-— tilled water, till a colourless solution is obtained. Filter, — and immediately add sesquicarbonate of ammonia in slight excess. Filter, concentrate by rapid evaporation, and crystallize by refrigeration. It is rather more active tha iodide of potassium. | AmMoni& Hyprocutoras. Ammonie Murias. Sal Am=- moniac. It is made by saturating ammoniacal gas liquor, © or bone-spirit, with sulphuric acid; crystallizing the sul- phate, mixing it with common salt, and subliming. The commercial sal ammoniac should be purified by erystalliz ation for internal use. Dose, gr v. to xxv. Ammonia HyprosuLFHURETUM. E, Pass sulphurette hydrogen gas (from Ziss of sulphuret of iron, f§xv of water, — and fziss of oil of vitriol, passing the gas first through” a little water) into fZiv of solution of ammonia, till the liquid ceases to give a precipitate when added to a saturated solution of sulphate of magnesia. It should be kept in a
