with a rubber force pump for assisting aspirations. To the open end of the retort was attached apparatus as described hereafter and in the following order:-

A glass T-piece with one end corked so as to form an observation tube for noting differences in the odour of the smoke from time to time.

Three Drechsel wash bottles each containing 100cc of two per cent sulphuric acid in water.

Two Drechsel wash-bottles each containing 100cc of ten per cent potassium hydrate solution.

A ten-gallon aspirating bottle. This together with the force pump enabled a smoke to be produced of the nature and appearance of that obtained by smoking opium in the usual way with the pipe.

The retort was heated in a bath of fused potassium nitrate. The smoke at first evolved had the fragrant odour of burning chandoo. As greater heat was applied the odour gradually changed to one much resembling a foul tobacco pipe. When the temperature of the bath indicated 400°C the opium seemed to be exhausted, and but little smoke thereafter came over. The weight of halán obtained was 18.0 grams. This halán was found to be free from alkaloid. The purified gas in the aspirator had a benzene-like odour, resembling coal-gas. No portion of this gas was absorbed by Cuprous chloride, this indicating the absence of ...
