A question was asked some time since by one of 

 our correspondents, whether sulphuret of potash* 

 had ever been employed as a remedy acainst 

 mildew ? We cannot say whether it has been so 

 applied in this country, but it has been used in 

 France successfully, and if an acid be added a fine 

 precipitate of sulphur is deposited from the aqueous 

 solution upon the leaves of the Vine or Hop, in a 

 manner which would not be effected by any 

 dredging.t It is, in fact, when properly diluted, 

 precisely what is used very frequently for baths in 

 certain cutaneous disorders. In all such applica- 

 tions the main question is how does the sulphur act? 

 This is evidently a point of great importance and 

 from the insolubility of sulphur under ordinary cir- 

 cumstances not very easy of explanation. 



We do not profess to be in a condition to answer this 

 satisfactorily, but the observations we have to offer 

 may induce some one to attend a little more closely 

 to the matter. Sulphur has evidently a very pre- 

 judicial effect on fungi, as it has indeed on all 

 organic beings if exposed to it in a proper form and 

 ma sufficient degree of concentration. The use of 

 sulphur m cutaneous disorders whether arising from 

 insect or vegetab lejga rasites ; the effect of hy po- 



DhUIof Ka.,12. S . U,phuret °{ P*««h f or more properly *a-

 f Sulphuretted hydrogen is evolved at the same time.
