In this list there is little need to call attention to the extreme similarity in action upon 
the injury current of the solutions of these electrolytes. Their action is not only 
similar in a general sense, but in an exact quantitative sense ; in each case that action 
following a general law 
Eo) = Ea log. — 
n 
It may be said that this is only approximately general, the approximation is, however, 
sufficiently close —
