muriate

General Manager Don Purvis said the move away from muriate was a corporate decision involving a product that makes up about 30 percent of production at the Carlsbad facility.

It is generally employed in the form of muriate of cocaine and principally used as a local an�sthetic.

Chemical experiments have established its composition, as follows: first, of a soapy matter with a basis of potash, which forms the greater part of it; second, a small quantity of carbonate of potash; third, a perceptible quantity of acetate of potash; fourth, lime, in a peculiar and unknown state of combination; fifth, an atom of muriate of potash; sixth, an animal oil, to which its peculiar odor is attributable.

Muriate of pilocarpine was recommended for this purpose three years ago.

Thus it is that for many years the muriate of iron has constituted the main element, with me, of internal medication in most cases of diphtheria, both of the mild and the most dangerous septic type.
