 reftores the colour of turnfole after it has been reddened 

 with an acid, does not redden turmeric, combines with 

 acids which it faturates, and forms ^vith them cryftallizable 

 falts. The difcoverers have fuggefted the name Vauquellne

 quelin, who is faid to have firft difcovered the alkaline pro- 

 perties of a fubftance obtained by him from the daphne
