h. Nitrates. — Concerning the action of nitrates, it is to be said that the NO 3 

 radical does not seem to differ, in its action, from the CI ion, inasmuch as the absorp- 

 tion by a muscle immersed in a nitrate solution is of the same order of magnitude 

 as the absorption by a muscle in the corresponding chloride solution. The con- 

 clusion is evident, therefore, that in the experiments with the salts of monobasic 

 acids, the cation is the influencing factor, while the anion acts indifferently. Isos- 

 motic solutions of the nitrates were used in all cases as the general effect of 

 hyper-, iso-, and hypo-tonic solutions were identical with those noted under effect of 

 chlorides.
