76 Chittenden and Painter—Influence of Therapeutic 
With the brucine salt a slightly increased action is noticed in all 
three of the experiments; while with strychnine a constant diminu- 
tion in amylolytic action is to be seen. 
In this connection it is to be remembered, that a trace of free acid 
in the alkaloid salts would introduce an appreciable error into the 
results, and therefore all of the alkaloid salts experimented with, 
were especially purified for this purpose, any adhering acid being 
removed by repeated crystallization, etc. 
The following table shows the relative acceleration and retardation 
of the various salts (the percentages more generally used) compared 
with their controls expressed as 100.
