(When pure this is solid at a temperature of nearly 102° Fahr., above that it becomes liquid; before giving it out therefore for use, liquefy a sufficiency, by placing the unstoppered bottle in the sun, or near a fire, or in a little warm water, and then from the bottle measure out the quantity required; in doing so, remember the fact that whilst pure it is a severe caustic.—Aitchison.)
