* Sal Alembroth is composed of 2 parts of corrosive sublimate 

 to 1 of sodium chloride. This is less irritant than the mercuric salt 

 used alone. 



Incompatibles. There is a wide range of incompatibles. 

 Albumen, tannic acid, alkaline carbonates, iodides, silver nitrate, and 

 solutions of lime. It forms mercuric iodide if combined with po- 

 tassium iodide but if there is an excess of the latter salt a colorless 

 solution of the double salt is formed so that the two may be com- 

 bined for therapeutic action. 



* Lotio Flava. Yellow Wash is made by adding 24 grains of 

 mercuric chloride to 16 ounces of lime water. Yellow mercuric oxide 

 is precipitated and calcium chloride is in solution.
