    Modes of Application.—In tlie form of bolus, or dis- solved in water. Incompatibles.—Same as with Potassae Bicarbonas. Antidotes.—Same as for Potassse Bicarbonas. POTASSiE CHLORAS CHLOEATE OP POTASH Synonym.—Potassium Chlorate. Composition.—KCIO3. Mode of Preparation.—Take of— Carbonate of Potash .... 20 ounces. Slaked Lime 53 ounces. Distilled Water a sufficiency. Black Oxide of Manganese . . 80 ounces. Hydrochloric Acid 24 pints. Mix the lime with the carbonate of potash, and triturate them with a few ounces of the water so as to make the mixture slightly moist. Place the oxide of manganese in a large retort or flask, and, having poured upon it the hydro- chloric acid, diluted with six pints of water, apply a gentle heat, and conduct the chlorine as it comes over, first through a bottle containing six ounces of water, and then into a large carboy containing the mixture of carbonate of potash and slaked lime. When the whole of the chlorine has come over, remove the contents of the carboy, and boil them for twenty minutes with seven pints of the water, filter and evaporate till a film forms on the surface, and set aside to cool and crystallize. The crystals thus ob- tained are to be purified by dissolving them in three times 14
