STRENGTH OF CYANIDE. 



In the Review of April 18 I again see 

 the formula for the use of hydrocyanic 

 acid gas produced by the use of water, 

 sulphuric acid and cyanide of potassium. 

 This we have repeatedly had set out by 

 the Review, but when I come to the 

 drug store to buy the cyanide the drug- 



gist invariably asks me: 



What 



strength do you want?" And there I 

 am; I don't know, because your direc- 



tions fail to tell us. Now would it not 

 be a good idea for the Review to as- 

 certain what really the proper strength 

 of this stuff should be for this use, and 

 where to send for the same in order to 

 buy it the cheapest? I would like to use 

 it, and I am sure that lots of other 

 florists would do the same, but they are 

 afraid of either overdoing it or not mak- 

 ing a success out of it by possibly not 

 getting the gas strong enough. 



Thanking you in advance for the in- 

 formation, I wish to enter a word of 

 high commendation for the Florists' 



Review, for whom no horn can blow 

 too loud. IT, E. Z, 



The Review has many times stated 

 that the formula for the use of hydro- 

 cyanic acid gas is based on the cyanide 

 being what is known in the chemicals 

 trade as ' ' ninety-eight per cent pure. ' ' 

 It is not an expensive article and it has 

 been advised that the cyanide be bought 

 of the local druggist and that he be 

 asked to wrap it in packages of two and 

 one-half ounces each in two thicknesses 

 of brown paper; that is one package 

 to each jar of water and sulphuric acid.
