 Salkowski - Ludwig Method. A method for the 

 estimation of uric acid in solution. When an 

 ammoniacal solution of nitrate of silver is added to 

 a solution of uric acid, to which a mixture of magne- 

 sium chlorid and ammonium chlorid has been pre- 

 viously added, the uric acid is precipitated as a mag- 

 nesio-silver salt. This is collected, washed, and de- 

 composed by sodium or potassium sulphid, whereupon 

 the uric acid passes again into solution as a urate of 

 the alkali. On the addition of an excess of HC1 to 

 this solution the urate is decomposed, uric acid separ- 

 ates out and is collected and weighed. 

 Salkowski's Mixture. See Ca merer ' s Method. 

 Sallow {sal'-o) [ME., salmi', sallow]. Having a yel- 

 lowish color, as the complexion or skin.

 Salocoll {sal'-o-kol) [salix, willow]. A chemic com- 

 bination of phenocoll and salicylic acid ; in other 

 words, the salicylate of phenocoll. It is a white 

 powder ; odorless and tasteless ; only slightly soluble 

 in cold water. Salocoll is said to be a reliable anti- 

 pyretic, anti-neuralgic, and anti-rheumatic, combining 

 the favorable actions of its constituents, and as a rule, 

 free from the by-effects common to the new anti- 

 pyretics. The dose is from 15 to 30 grains, in powder 

 or in capsules, to be repeated three or four times per 

 day. 

 Salol (sal'-ol) [salix, willow], C 13 H 10 O 3 . Salicylic 

 Phenol Ester ; or Phenyl Salicylate. A white, odor- 

 less, crystalline substance, melting at 43 C. It is used 

 as an intestinal antiseptic, and as a substitute for sali- 

 cylic acid, being less irritating to the stomach. Dose 

 gr. ij-xv. It is decomposed in the intestines into 

 salicylic acid and phenol. On this account it has been 

 employed to test the motor power of the stomach. A 

 few grains are given in capsule and the urine tested at 

 intervals for the decomposition-products of salicylic 

 acid. 

 Saloop {sa-loop') [see Salep\ A drink prepared from
