Gorni. Felice, discusses the several methods proposed for the detec- 
tion of salicylic acid in foodstuffs and outlines methods of procedure 
for detection of salicylic acid in wine, beer, milk, and butter. — Boll. 
Chim. Farm., 1905, v. 44, pp. 409-419. 
Lloyd, John Uri, says that — 
From the very introduction of salicylic acid as a medicine, the eclectic school 
in medicine selected the natural acid, made from wintergreen oil, and still 
adheres to the use of this preparation. — Pharm. Review, 1905, v. 23, p. 332. 
Bondi and Jakoby (Hofmeister's Beitrage, v. 7, pp. 514-526), in 
studying the distribution of salicylic acid in normal and infected 
animals, find that the infected animals seem to eliminate salicylic acid 
more slowly than the normal. — Abstr. in Jahresb. (for 1905) u. d. 
Fortschr. d. Tier-Chemie, MTesb., 1906, v. 35, p. 125. 
Baldoni, A. (Bendic. Soc. Chim. di Eoma, 1905, v. 3), describes a 
new compound, salicylglycuronic acid, isolated from the urine after 
the admisistration of sodium salicylate. — Abstr.. ibid. 
Quenstedt reviews the literature and records his observations re- 
garding the action of salicylates on the kidneys. He concludes that 
salicylates do not have a permanent deleterious effect on the kidneys ; 
that salicylates are practically indispensable in acute cases of rheu- 
matism, and that in chronic cases their use would not likely be con- 
tinued, as they have little or no effect. — Therap. d. Gegenw., 1905, 
v. 7, pp. 97-100. 
Frey, E., discusses the avoidance of irritation of the kidneys after 
large doses of salicylates. (Muench. med. Wchnschr., 1905, No. 28.) —

Minkelmann, Vi. (Med. Klin., 1905, p. 730), believes that the ad- 
ministration of salicylic acid, intravenously, has no evident advan- 
tages over administration by mouth. — Apoth. Ztg., Berlin, 1905, v. 20, 
p. 516. 
Brugsch, Theodor, reviews the work reported by Mendel, and its 
indorsement by Belir, an,d concludes that the intravenous injection of 
salicylates offers no distinct advantages over the internal adminis- 
tration of these compounds, and that, in addition, the disadvantages 
practically preclude the use of the former in private practice.— 
Therap. d. Gegenw., 1905, v. 7, pp. 63-64. 
Mendel, F., reports some additional observations on the intravenous 
administration of salicylates and renews the assertion that he believes 
this to be the method of the future. — Ibid., pp. 184-186.
