•  All  the  deliquescent  salts  and  vegetable  acids  are  soluble  in  it 
to  a  great  extent. 
Chemically,  glycerine  is  a  compound  of  a  radical  known  as 
glyceryl,  having  a  formula  of  CGH7,  in  union  with  5  eqs.  of  O, 
and  one  of  water ;  its  formula  is,  therefore,  C6  H7  05-}~H0. 
When  pure,  its  specific  gravity  is  1.26,  and  contains  98  per 
cent,  of  anhydrous  glycerine.  When  exposed  to  the  air,  it  ab- 
sorbs one-half  its  weight  in  water.  It  never  absorbs  oxygen, 
hence  it  never  becomes  rancid,  when  originally  pure.  It  is  not 
soluble  in  fatty  acids. 
When  perfectly  pure,  glycerin  is  of  a  thick  syrupy  consistence, 
very  nearly  cororless,  and  without  odor,  and  of  a  sharp  sweet 
taste.    Alone,  it  is  not  susceptible  of  fermentation.    It  is  solu-
