Transcriber's Notes
Uncommon forms for chemical names have been retained where they occur in the text, e.g. "atropin" for "atropine"; "asparagin" for "asparagine", etc.
The spellings of "Sidot blend" and "Sidot blende" are used interchangeably.
"PH" or PH (subscript H) is used throughout for the scale of alkali-acidity where the modern usage is "pH".
On page 173, the citation for Nutting, P. G.: 1908 has page range pp. 261-039. This is as it appears in the original, but is probably in error.
Minor corrections to formatting and missing punctuation (mostly in the bibliography) have been changed without an explicit note.
