•out  attempting  to  reconcile  these  discrei)ancies,  I  have  adopted  as  the 
weight  of  a  gallon  of  water,  the  figure  which  Dr.  Squibb  fixed  upon 
after  a  careful  review  of  the  whole  subject  in  his  alcoholometric  tables, 
and  which  has  at  least  a  quasi  legal  authority.  According  to  this  value 
:a  fluidounce  of  water  at  its  maximum  density  weighs  456*0325  grains ; 
at  a  temperature  of  60°F.  its  weight  is  455*6417  grains.

Tlie  Acid  of  Gastric  Juice  is  said  by  M.  Poulet,  Jour,  de  Med.  de 
Paris,  to  be  neither  lactic  nor  hydrochloric  acid,  but  hippiiric  acid  in  the 
form  of  acid  hippurate  of  potassium,  combined  with  neutral  phosphates  of 
lime  and  sodium.  He  claims  that  microscopic  examination  of  the  crystals 
.and  experiments  with  dialysis  demonstrate  this  conclusively.— ^ez^  ^n^.
