 amorphous powder, insoluble in water, 

 ether, chloroform or benzol, and but 

 scarcely soluble in alcohol. It is insolu- 

 ble in solutions of alkaline carbonates in 

 the cold, but is easily dissolved by caustic 

 alkalies, being again precipitated by acids. 

 It melts at 210 C, undergoing decompo- 

 sition. Salitannol is said to combine the 

 antiseptic properties of both salicylic and 

 tannic or gallic acids, and is recommended 

 for use as a surgical antiseptic on account 

 of its indifferent chemical character.

Strychnine Hydride — A new alkaloid 

 obtained by the action of metallic sodium 

 on a boiling alcoholic solution of strych- 

 nine. The new alkaloid was obtained in 

 small quantities. Physiological tests 

 showed it to possess properties directly 

 opposed to those of strychnine. Thus, 

 instead of tetanus, the preparation caused 

 gradual narcotic paralysis, such as is had 

 by morphine, but in a much more ener- 

 getic degree. On injecting strychnine 

 hydride and strychnine or picrotoxin 

 simultaneously, the effects of each was 

 neutralized, no tetanoid symptoms appear- 

 ing. Strychnine hydride cannot, how- 

 ever, be used as an antidote to strychnine 

 poisoning, because the narcosis caused 

 by it ultimately results in paralysis of the 

 respiratory centers.
