amount equal to the syrup and solution mixed, pour in both 
the latter, and carefully cork the bottle. Shake the bottle for

The operation should be conducted as rapidly as possible, 
to prevent too great a loss of carbonic acid. 
The patient, during the day, must take at least the whole of 
the liquid contained in a bottle; if he dislikes to drink so 
much, a half bottle of seltzer water may be used, without 
changing the proportion of the normal solution; it is only ne- 
cessary to diminish the amount of syrup. 
4. Marmalade of Proto-iodide of Iron. 
ffc. Normal solution of proto-iodide of iron, 15 drops. 
Honey of Narbonne, 50 grammes.

proto-iodide. If the mixture should be too fluid, part of the 
honey is to be replaced by powdered sugar.
