FROM PROFESSOR KANE

" Laboratory, Cecilia-street, Dublin, 28th April, 1842.
"My dear Sir James,—l have completed the analysis of your
solution of Magnesia, which you placed in m hands. It is
perfectly pure, and evidently prepared from the purest mate-
rials? being quite free from the presence of any sulphuric or
muriatic salts. Its specific gravity I proved to be 1015.6 wa-
ter being 1000, and it contains in each fluid ounce, 13 grains of
Carbonate of Magnesia.—l remain, your obedient servant
"To Sir James Murray." " ROBERT KANE.

FROM PROFESSOR EDMUND DAVY

" I have submitted Sir James Murray's Fluid Magnesia to a
Chemical examination, and find it contains dissolved in Carbo-
nic Acid, 270 grains Carbonate Magnesia, in the Imperial pint
of 20 ounces, or 13i grains in each fluid ounce. It contains us
Sulphate or muriate of Magnesia, nor any other impurity.

a bottle of Fluid Magnesia sent tome by Mr. Bailey, of Wol-
verhampton, through Professor O'Shaughnessy, of Calcutta, on
his late visit to Bath. I have found 13 grains of pure Magnesia
in each liquid ounce, and that I did not discover the slightest
trace of either sulphate, muriate, or any other ingredient in the
solution. " C. H. WILKINSON, M.D.
