    filter off the sulpliate of lime, and evaporate the clear solution to a syrup. This residue is lactic acid, sp.gr. 1-212. AciDUM Meconicum. Meconic Acid. Mix meconate of lime (formed in making hydrochlorate of morphia by the E. process) with Oj of boiling water, and add ^iij of hydro- chloric acid; redissolve the crystals, which the liquor deposits in cooling, in the same quantity of water and acid, till they arc freed from lime. [Probably inert. It has been proposed as an antidote for corrosive sublimate, but without success.] ACIDTJM NiTEicuM. 13. Made by distilling nitrate of pot- ash or soda with sulphuric acid and water. Contains 70 percent, by wt. of hydrated, or 60 per cent, of anhydrous, nitric acid. Sp. gr. 1-42. [90 gr. with 3SS distilled water neutralize 1000 gr. measures of solution of soda.] B. 1864. Pour sulphuric acid f gxvij upon nitrate of potash Ibij previously introduced into a plain retort; pass the neck of the retort at least five inches into the glass tube of a Liebig's condenser, and distil over the acid with a heat which towards the end of the process must be raised so as to liquefy the contents of the retort. Sp. gr. I'S; ^ neutralizes 121'5 measures of the volumetric solution of soda. Acidum nitricum of commerce is stated by E. to be from 1-380 to 1-390. When diluted with water it should precipitate but slightly, if at all, with solution of nitrate of baryta, or nitrate of silver. U.S. same. P. same. G. sp. gr. 1-185. Antidotes, as for Acid.

To nitric acid f gvj add distilled water at temperature of 60° F. to measure f 5xxxj. [Sp. gr. 1-101. f 5vj neutralize 1000 gr. measures of volu- metric solution of soda, f 5vj correspond to 1 equivalent (54 gr.), of anhydrous nitric acid.] U.S. 3oz.tr. acid in 16 oz. o. m. G. p.
