Mix them intimately together, and

the sublimed matter to powder, and
keep it iu a well stopped bottle.
Brugnatelli prescribes two drams ofred oxide, and half a pound of hydrochlo-rate of ammonia. — Swediaur — one part ofred oxide, and two parts of hydrochlorate.Van Mons — one half part of black oxide,and twelve parts of hydrochlorate ; and inanother place, two drams of black oxide,and ten ounces of hydrochlorate. — Wirtem.— one half part of subcarbonate of iron,arid one part of hydrochlorate of ammonia.R.
