IODINE. 441

Iodine Trichloride is formed by passing chlorine gas over iodine.
It is obtained in the form of reddish crystals, is soluble in its own
weight of water, and almost as readily in alcohol, and either
solution can be mixed with glycerol without decomposition.
Dr. Belfield regards it as a powerful local antiseptic for irrigating
suppurating wounds, and tuberculous processes. He uses solu-
tions of 5 to 20 per cent, in equal parts of water, alcohol and
glycerol.
