Authorities. [The classical dissertation of Hermann Wagner, "De Effectu Natri Sulphurici," Dorpat, 1853, contains a number of experiments with the drug (simple and combined with other drugs), a large number of analyses of urine and fæces, and general conclusions concerning the elimination of the salt; it is, however, needless to republish the tables of analyses entire, and general observations derived from them relate solely to the elimination of the drug and the variation in amount of urine, the latter varying inversely to the amount of the watery alvine discharges.]
