The British Pharmacopoeia directs that temperature in all cases, excepting where otherwise stated, is to be determined by Fahren- heit's thermometer, and specific gravities are to be taken at the temperature of 60°. WATER-BATH AND STEAM-BATH. [§ When a water-hath is directed to be used, it is to be under- stood that this term refers to an apparatus by means of which water or its vapour, at a temperature not exceeding 212°, is applied to the outer surface of a vessel containing the substance to be heated, which substance may thus be subjected to a heat near to, but necessarily below, that of 212°. In the steam-bath the vapour of water at a temperature above 212°, but not exceeding 230°, is similarly applied.] MARKS OF QUOTATION.
