The naphtholate of bismuth is an odorless, neutral
brown powder which, when taken into the stomach, is
said to break up in the intestines into bismuth and beta-
naphthol.

Therapeutic Applications.-Betanaphthol-bismuth has
been employed with alleged good results in gastro-intes-
tinal disorders and in the treatment of Asiatic cholera.
Administration.-This remedy may be administered
in daily doses of from 15 to 30o grains (I to 2 grammes).'
BISMUTH TRIBROMPHENATE.
Under this title a new combination of bismuth has
recently been ushered into practical medicine. The drug
is also termed tribromphenol-bismuth. It is said to con-
tain about 50 per cent. each of tribromphenol and the
oxide of bismuth.
Physical Properties.-- Tibromnphenate of bismuth is
a yellow, odorless, and insipid powder.
Solubility.-This drug is insoluble in water.
Therapeutic Applications.-Bismzuth/ tribromphenate
is said to be an excellent antiseptic. It has been advan-
tageously used in the treatment of choleraic diseases.
This drug is alleged to exercise a decided power against
the bacilli of Asiatic cholera, arresting their development
and even destroying them. No untoward effects have
been observed from the action of the medicament, even
when employed in comparatively large doses.
SPhenol-bismuth and pyrogallol-bismuth have been used for the same
purpose as the betanaphthol-bismuth, also with apparently good results.
