TOLERANCE FOR ALKALIES IN ASIATIC CHOLERA. 



383 



most desirable dosage of alkali. High coefficients were found, not only 

 in the cases treated with chloride solutions, but these high values 

 sometimes persisted even after the administration of relatively large 

 amounts of alkali. The quantities of alkali stated in Table VIII were 

 injected before the urine was voided.
