 hemoglobin. 



Hemosterol — Compound obtained from 

 fresh animal blood.

 nicotinic acid. Succedaneum for areco- 

 line.

Huminal — Moor extract. 



Hydrarguent — A preparation by means 

 of which, it is stated, mercury may be in- 

 corporated with fats, to form the official 

 mercurial ointment, within 5 minutes, an 

 addition of 0.5 per cent, being sufficient 

 for making small quantities, large quan- 

 tities requiring only 0.25 percent, to ac- 

 complish the same purpose. Detailed in- 

 formation regarding the composition of 

 hydrarguent is not yet at hand. 



Hydrargyrol — A new antiseptic com- 

 posed of mercury and phenol. It is de- 

 scribed as being in the form of brown-red 

 scales, having an odor resembling that of 

 gingerbread. Its specific gravity is 1.85, 

 and reaction neutral. It is insoluble in 

 absolute alcohol, but quite soluble in 

 water and in glycerin, yielding beautiful 

 ruby-red solutions. In proportions of 

 1:250 it completely sterilizes bouillons, 

 and, introduced into a growing culture, it 

 precipitates the alkali-toxins. Its solu- 

 tions are reported to be neither caustic 

 nor even irritant. Experiments made on 

 animals tend to prove hydrargyol to be 

 seventy-five times less toxic than corro- 

 sive sublimate. 



Hydrogol Hydrosol and Organosol — 

 Claimed to be solutions of soluble, me- 

 tallic, colloidal silver in water and organic 

 solvents. The aqueous solution was named 

 hydrosol, and the solutions in organic sol- 

 vents, such as alcohol, glycerin, etc., were 

 named organosols, while the name of 

 hydrogol has now been given to the col- 

 loidal silver contained in solution. The

 age. Iodospongiu has been given to dogs 

 after extirpation of the thyroid gland, 

 and with good results, but no trials have
