Reduced to the solid form by careful evaporation, it is a white or yellowish-white substance; almost tasteless and inodorous ; very soluble in water ; but insoluble in alcohol of eighty-three per cent. Its watery solution reddens litmus ; and is precipitated... The Cyclopædia of Anatomy and Physiology - Page 294by Robert Bentley Todd - 1859Full view - About this book
