The salts amounted, according to Giiterbock, to 5'7g of the 

 solid residue, namely, to 5 soluble in water, (consisting, for 

 the most part, of chloride of sodium with small quantities of 

 phosphate, sulphate, and carbonate of soda, chloride of potas- 

 sium, and chloride of calcium,) and O7 soluble only in nitric 

 acid, and composed of the phosphates of lime and magnesia, 

 carbonate of lime, and a trace of peroxide of iron. 



Valentin estimated the salts at 5'32 of the solid residue, of 

 which 4-7 were soluble in water, (chloride of sodium with traces 

 of the sulphates of potash, soda, and lime, and carbonates of 

 potash and soda,) and 0*62 insoluble in water, (phosphate, sul- 

 phate, and carbonate of lime.) 



[A large number of analyses of pus and purulent sputa have 

 been made by Von Bibra. We select the three following :
