Largin — A silver-albumin compound, 

 the albuminous constituent of which, 

 protalbin, is a peculiar alcohol-soluble

 as a grayish-white powder of low specific 

 gravity, and very readily soluble to the 

 extent of 10.5 per cent, in warm, as well 

 as cold water, and soluble also in glyc- 

 erin, blood serum and peptones, yielding 

 clear, yellow solutions, which remain un- 

 precipitated by chlorides or albumin. 

 Largin contains 11.1 per cent, of silver. 

 Its solution has an alkaline reaction, al- 



though an entirely neutral one may also 

 be prepared. Largin is credited with bac- 

 tericidal powers superior to those of any 

 of the silver-albumin preparations, while 

 being free from any irritating properties ; 

 used as an injection, varying in strength 

 from )i to \y 2 per cent., according to the

 subacute posterior urethritis of gonor-

 o-5 to 5 per cent, solution — most proba- 

 bly because of its mildly astringent action.
