20 parts of hot water, and melts at 258° F. ; it is also soluble in
alcohol and ether ; it is not affected by any of the ordinary acids.

and is regarded as prompt and reliable, producing a quiet, natural
sleep, lasting a number of hours. It appears to have no unfavor-
able effects on the heart or the circulation, nor on the tempera-

mucilage, etc.
