2. Solutions of Chloric Potash. 

 In our description of the influence of sodium chloride, we attri- 

 buted it to the ions of chlorine. This was based on the results of 

 investigations in which we compared the action of sodium chloride 

 and of potassium chloride, of which a few items here follow. 



These investigations proved that isosmotic solutions of sodium 

 chloride and potassium chloride have almost the same effects on 

 phagocytosis.

 Comparison of isosmotic quantities of sodium chloride 

 and potassium chloride. 



Two other parallel-experiments in solutions of 0.9% of sodium 



chloride produced the following results :
