 dread the sight of it, gives the popular name to the 

 affection. There may be rise of temperature. In the 

 . or paralytic stage, the spasms are succeeded by

 preliminary and second periods are absent, and the

 Rabuteau's Method. A method of estimating the 

 I amount of acids in the stomach. It consists in driv- 

 ing off the volatile acids by heat and shaking the 

 residue with a large excess of ether, which takes up 

 the lactic acid. This is separated and cinchonin or 

 quinin is added to the remainder until the reaction is 

 neutral. The cinchonin or quinin hydrochlorid is dis- 

 solved out by shaking with chloroform, the latter is 

 distilled off from this extract, and the chlorin estimated 

 in the residue.
