Abstract
POLLI'S Annali di Chimica applicati alia Medicina (No. I, 1870) has a long preface relating to miasma paluslre and the use of febrifuges; these topics being discussed in view of the competition for which the Royal Institute of Lombardy has offered a prize in 1872. The competition is restricted to a discussion of the use of sulphites and hyposulphites in intermittent fevers. The editor adds to his preface a list of thirty-seven memoirs which have been published on these subjects between 1863 and 1869. Carlo Pavesi contributes a note on a speedy method of preparing mercurial ointment, in which the use of oil of turpentine as an ingredient is specially recommended. Belardi draws attention to the fact that pharmaceutical preparations of bismuth are liable to contain antimony. Pagano gives an illustration of the therapeutic value of magnesic sulphite; and Moretti records some clinical observations on the use of the same salt as well as sodic sulphite.
