Z. ZINC.—A metal which does not occur in the native state, but is obtained from its ores, which are chiefly the sulphuret and carbonate of zinc. It has a brilliant metallic lustre, and a bluish white colour. It is so hard as to be filed with some difficulty, and its toughness is such as to require a great amount of force to break it when the mass is considerable. It under- goes little alteration, even by the combined operation of air and moisture at common temperatures. When heated to between the temperature of boiling water and 300“ Fahrenheit, it becomes both malleable and ductile, so that it may be rolled into sheets and drawn otherwise. Exposed to a white heat, out of the contact of air, it sublimes and is condensed nnchanged. _ ZINC LOTION.—Sulphate of zinc, one drachm; water, one pint.
