Boil well-pressed cake of bitter almouds twice in strong alcohol; strain through linen, and press the residue. Remove any oil that may appear, lieat the liquid again, and filter. In a few days part of the aniygdaliu crystallizes out. Concentrate the residuary liquor to a sixth part, and add ether, which will throw down the amygdalin. Press it between blotting- paper, wash it with ether, redissolve in boiling alcohol, and set aside to crystallize. Amtlene. a volatile liquid hydrocarbon. Obtained by distilling fusel oil with anhydi'ous phosphoric acid. Pro- posed by Dr. Snow as an auassthetic for inhalation, but since given up as dangerous. Amtl Niteis. B. Mr. Umney states that true nilrite of amijl should be made bj' passing nitrous acid into amylic alcohol, which has been previously submitted to a fractional distillation, until the portion retained ibr use has a boiling point of 132° C. A nitrite so prepared, when deprived of any excess of acid it may contain by rectification over fused carb. potash, will have a boiling point of 98°—D9° C. For details of manufacture consult a paper by Mr. Tanner, P/t. Journ., Nov. 2Qth, 1871. By inhalation, the vapour of 2 to 5 minims with caution. A11YLAMIN.E Hydroculoeas. M.
