Potassii lodidi 5 ! 
Camphorse 3ij 
Sp. Vini Rect. ^ss 
Lin. Saponis ^liss 
Ft. Linimeutura. 
In whatever manner the ingredients mixed, a sediment will be formed; but by pro¬ 
ceeding as follows, the least objectionable result may be obtained Rub the iodide of 
iron with a little reduced iron, and about one drachm of water, and in the filtered solu¬ 
tion dissolve the iodide of potassium, add this to the camphor dissolved in the spirit and 
soap liniment. By this means the formation of the sticky mass complained of by our 
correspondent will be avoided.
