It is in this connection that it becomes very difficult at times for the agricultural scientist and practical agriculturist to meet on common ground, for very often a popular version of scientific reasoning may appear ambiguous, and in this case it would appear better to sacrifice the facile version (since the layman can always get an interpreter to explain if he is sufficiently interested) tha...

The present study was based on the hypothesis that muriate of potash is a cheaper and rich source of potassium, but adversely affects the crops yield due to high Cl content. For this reason both column and field experiments were conducted to study the effect of potassium rates and sources on the availability of Cl, SO4 and K to maize crop growing on Haripur and Ghazi soils during 2004. In colum...

Patikaraparpam, a Siddha formulation in prepared by trituration of potash alum with egg albumin followed by calcinatin. The three authentic laboratories made parpams as well as six commercial samples have been examined for their chemical composition. The analytical data that emerged from the analysis of the above samples showed that seven parpams contained only aluminium sulphate and they did r...

At. Most bacteriologists held that the old Voges?SKauer's test (1898) was not a satisfactory test for the differentiation of the coli-serogenes group of organisms. During carbohydrate fermentation by the aerogenes group of bacilli, acetoin (acetylmethyl carbinol) is formed, and this is detected by caustic potash and peptone. Acetoin is oxidized to diacetyl, and this reacts with caustic potash a...

IN No. 1, Vol. III., of the JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY Dr. Gaskell records some experiments regarding the respective action of antiarin, hydrate of soda, muscarin, and digitalin on the ventricle of the frog's heart. In this paper I record some experiments on the action of soda, ammonia, and potash on the same structure. In most respects my experiments with soda hydrate agree with those of Dr. Gaskel...

plaint. For, no sooner is it known that the doctor has pronounced some old gentleman to be suffering from a carbuncle, than the friends of the latter would assuredly hint at haviug his " affairs set in order." Statistics, however, do not show the apprehension to be well grounded, and neither have I in my small experience observed the mortality, amongst those who have suffered from it, to be so ...

of priesthood, to inviolable secrecy, whatever may be the nature of the information communicated by our patients. A crime, e.g., cannot be allowed to be perpetrated, so to speak, in our presence and with our cognizance during attendance on a household, and we must not, on any account, allow ourselves to be entrapped into being made unconscious confidants of some one who is bent on mischief. It ...
