Abstract
IN last week's NATURE, Lord Rayleigh gave, for an involatile liquid, a rigorous and clear proof of “the Central Theorem” of osmotics. But this theorem, though highly interesting in itself, is not, so far as I can see, useful as a guide for experiment. Consider for example the typical cases of sugar, and of common salt, dissolved in water.
