Maine; agriculturai, e;xpe;riment station. 1909. 



Spirit of nitrous ether. The table gives results of analyses 

 of samples which have been examined by the Station since May, 

 1909. These samples for the most part were sent in by drug- 

 gists who desired to find out if they were making their prepara- 

 tions rightly. 



Tincture of Iodine. Apparently the druggists have profited 

 somewhat by the experience with tincture of iodine as only two 

 lots were found to be below standard strength. 



Liquefied phenol was purchased as it had been reported that 

 a certain pharmacist was using crude carbolic acid. It was 

 found, however, that these goods were made from carbolic acid 

 of good quality and were practically in conformity with the 

 standard.
