JSGT 1923 V07 T122 T129

Some time ago we were invited to express an opinion on tests outlined by L. Kroeber for the purpose of ascertaining the suitability of glass for making ampoules. For the purposes' of the test, the ampoule might be filled with one of the following solutions: (1) 1·0 to 2·0% of morphine hydrochloride: (2) 0·5% solution of strychnine nitrate; (3) 1·0% solution of mercuric chloride; (4) a dilute solution of phenolphthalein; (5) 0·1% solution of narcotine hydrochloride.
