ON CHLORATE OF POTASSA AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

THE BLOOD.
DR. 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 of iron, meroury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla. —56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.
