Permanganate potash, according to indisputable testimony, is a valn- fte remedial agent, and it is, as you pretend, now inei- ' tisive. Nevertheless it is rarely used for curative par{>08e.s > the medical profession (although, in consequence of my >>onr8, it has been placed in the Pharmacopoeia), and not ; all by the public.
