Solution of Chlo′′ride of Ar′senic. Syn. Liquor arsenici hydrochloricus (B. P.), Liquor arsenici chloridi (Ph. L.), L. Prep. 1. (Ph. L.) Arsenious acid (in coarse powder), 1⁄2 dr.; hydrochloric acid, 11⁄2 fl. dr.; distilled water, 1 fl. oz.; boil until the solution of the arsenious acid is complete, and, when cold, add enough distilled water to make the whole exactly measure a pint.—Dose, 4 to 5 drops.
2. (B. P.) Arsenious acid, 80 gr.; hydrochloric
acid, 2 dr.; distilled water, 20 oz.; boil the two acids with 4 oz. of the water until a solution is effected, then add sufficient distilled water to make up 20 oz.—Dose, 2 to 8 minims.
Solution of Chloride of Ba′′rium. Syn. Solution of muriate of baryta†; Liquor barii chloridi (Ph. L. & D.), Solutio barytæ muriatis (Ph. E.), L. Prep. (Ph. L. & E.) Dissolve chloride of barium, 1 dr. (1 oz.—Ph. D.), in water, 1 fl. oz. (8 oz. Ph. D.), and filter the solution. Sp. gr. (Ph. D.) 1·088.—Dose, 5 drops, gradually increased to 10 or 12, twice or thrice daily; in scrofula, scirrhous affections, and worms; externally, largely diluted, as a lotion in scrofulous ophthalmia.
Solution of Chloride of Cal′cium. Syn. Solution of muriate of lime†; Calcii chloridi liquor (Ph. D.), Calcis muriatis solutio (Ph. E.). Prep. 1. (Ph. L. 1836.) Fused chloride of calcium, 4 oz. (crystals, 8 oz.—Ph. E.); water, 12 fl. oz.; dissolve, and filter.

Solution of Chloride of Zinc. Syn. Liquor zinci chloridi (B. P.). Prep. Granulated zinc, 8; hydrochloric acid, 22; solution of chlorine, q. s.; carbonate of zinc, 1⁄4; distilled water, 10. Mix the acid and water in a porcelain dish, add the zinc, and apply a gentle heat to promote the action until gas is no longer evolved; boil for half an hour, supplying the water lost by evaporation, and allow the product to cool. Filter it into a bottle, and add solution of chlorine by degrees, with frequent agitation until a brown sediment appears. Filter the liquid into a porcelain basin, and evaporate until it is reduced to the bulk of 20.
Solution of Chlo′′rinated Lime. Syn. Bleaching liquid, Solution of chloride of lime‡, S. of hypochlorite of lime; Solutio calcis hypochloris, S. calcis chloridi, Calcis chlorinatæ liquor (Ph. D.), L. Prep. 1. (Ph. D.) Chlorinated lime (‘chloride of lime’), 1⁄2 lb.; water, 1⁄2 gall.; triturate them together, then transfer the mixture to a stoppered bottle, and shake it repeatedly for the space of 3 hours; lastly, filter through calico, and preserve it in a well-stopped bottle.
2. Chloride of lime (dry and good, and rubbed to fine powder), 9 lbs.; tepid water, 6 galls.; mix in a stoneware bottle capable of holding 8 galls., agitate frequently for a day or two, and, after 2 or 3 days’ repose, decant the clear portion, and keep it in well-corked bottles, in a cool situation. If filtered, it should be done as rapidly as possible, and only through coarsely powdered glass in a covered vessel.
