Saccharine Carbonate of Iron

A sweet-tasted greenish mass or powder. It is one of the best of the chalybeates in doses of 5 to 10 grains. When pure it should be easily soluble in hydrochloric acid with brisk effervescence. Take 4 ounces sulphate of iron, and 44 ounces carbonate of soda; dissolve each separately in 1 quart boiling water.
