 the other through the water. The metal under these 

 conditions is torn off in a state of such fine division 

 that it remains suspended in the water in the form of 

 a solution. Syn., Pseudosolution. S., Gowers', for 

 use with the hemoglobinometer. Sodium sulfate, 104

 weight of one atom or molecule of the active chemical 

 expressed in grams. S., Harris' (Thos.), for the 

 preservation of organic urinary sediments ; potassium

 gm. ; potassium chlorid, 0.25 gm.; sodium phosphate, 

 I.25 gm.; sodium chlorid, 4.5 gm. ; distilled water, 

 1000 c.c. S.s, Isotonic, such as are equal in 

 osmotic pressure. S., Keyes', for use with the 

 hemoglobinometer : " Take urine slightly phosphatic, 

 easily obtainable after a meal, about 1 020 sp. gr., 

 and make of it a saturated solution with borax. 

 Clouds of earthy phosphates are thrown down. 

 Filtration yields a clear alkaline fluid of sp. gr. 

 about 1030. One-half of water added will reduce the 

 specific gravity to 1020 and the fluid is ready for use."

 make 3^) c.c. ; creolin, 2 c.c; ferric chlorid solution,

 mixture of a solution of gum acacia, sp. gr. 1020, one 

 volume ; equal parts of sodium sulfate and sodium 

 chlorid in solution of sp. gr. 1020 three volumes. S.,

 gm.; neutral glycerin, 30.0 c.c; distilled water, 160.0 

 c.c. S., Topfer's, a solution of dimethylamidoazo- 

 benzol. S., Trunecek's. See Serum, Trunecek's. 

 S.s, Van't Hoff's Theory of: "The osmotic 

 pressure of a substance in solution is the same as the 

 gas pressure which would be observed if the substance 

 alone, in gaseous state, occupied the volume of the 

 solution at the same temperature." S., Water-glass.
