SODIUM TETRABORATE.
The neutral tetraborate of sodium is a body containing
50 per cent. of boric acid and 50 per cent. of sodium
biborate.
Physical Properties.-This compound occurs in trans-
parent, hard, clustered crystals, neutral in reaction.
Solubility.-This salt is soluble in water at 59 F.
(150 C.) to the extent of about 16 per cent.; at 100.4 F.
(38 C.) to that of 20 per cent.; and at 212 F. (I000 C.)
to that of almost 30 per cent.
Therapeutic Applications.- Tctraborate of sodium is
advantageous as an antiseptic agent, being considered
superior to solutions of boric acid.
Administration.-This remedy is applied locally in
solutions of the strength of 16 per cent.
SODIUM THIOPHENSULPHONATE.
This salt, which is a derivative of thiophen, contains
33 per cent. of sulphur, and is represented by the formula
C4H3S- NaSO3.
Physical Properties.-This compound appears as a
white crystalline powder.
Therapeutic Applications.- Tiopcenlslu@ponate of so-
dium has been employed successfully in skin diseases,
particularly in prurigo, in which it has been found to be
superior to beta-naphthol. The sodium salt may be
used in cases in which the latter remedy fails to do any
good.
Administration.-This medicament may be applied
as a dusting-powder.'
1 Among the other new salts of sodium may be mentioned jcloroborate, a
white crystalline powder, soluble in water; $yn,, corl'rrte, a yellowish-white
substance, soluble in water, and partly in alcohol ; silio /7uoide (NaI'lSiF4),
a white crystalline powder, soluble in water in al)out .50 per cent.; and
sulphoricinate, a brown liquid, of syrupy consistency, freely solunlle in alco-
hol and in water. All of these compounds have been recommended as arinti-
septics. To the sodium ca'ffeine-suzlphonate the common name of nasrol
has been given. It is said to be an excellent diuretic, superior to digitalis
and other similar remedies. Nasrol can be given in daily doses of I drachm
