THE BLOM).
11R. J. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
(1836`, will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use ot iron, meroury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla. —56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.
