3 ZlMMEE, Be. Conead — Manufacturer. (Agent,E. W. Boiler & Co., 15 "Union Court, Old BroadStreet, London .)

Pure crystallized cliinidine.

[The sulphate of this alkaloid is generally united with thesulphate of quinine, manufactured from the ordinary kindsof yellow bark; but it is only lately that it has been pro-duced separately as a salt, and its properties ascertained.

Experiments made up to the present time with the sul-phate of chinidine are considered to show that it is aspowerful in its effects as the sulphate of quinine. This,added to the fact of its being obtainable from the cheaperkinds of the yellow bark, which are not limited to thedistrict of Bolivia , justify the opinion that the sulphate ofchinidine may take an important place amongst medicinalsubstances.—B.
