9.  Phalons  Vitalia.  Prepared  by  Phalon  &  Son,  517  Broad- 
way, New  York. 
Consists  of  two  fluids  in  separate  bottles. 
No.  1  is  a  clear,  pale  yellow  solution  of  hyposulphite  of  soda. 
No.  2  is  a  clear,  pale  pink  solution,  containing  in  one  fluid 
ounce : 
Lead  14-08  grains. 
As,  by  the  directions  which  accompany  the  package,  the  lead 
solution  is  to  be  diluted  with  twice  its  volume  of  the  hyposulphite 
solution,  the  strength  of  the  mixture  would  be  reduced  to  one- 
third,  when  it  would  contain  4*69  grains  of  lead  in  one  fluid 
ounce.  Prof.  Lawrence  Reid,  the  manufacturers'  chemist,  claims 
that  the  hyposulphite  of  soda  renders  the  lead  harmless  by  ulti- 
mately forming  with  it  an  insoluble  sulphide  of  lead,  and  in 
various  other  ways.  But  after  carefully  considering  all  his 
arguments,  I  am  compelled  to  say  that  I  cannot  accept  them  as 
valid.
