A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

PREFACE.
The only treatises upon Glycerin with whose existence I am acquainted, those of M. Demarquay and of Dr. William Abbotts Smith, are almost unknown in this country. Most of the facts concerning it are scattered about in various journals; especially in those connected with Pharmacy.
I hope it may prove a not unserviceable task, to the advantage both of physicians and pharmacists, to collate anew these facts; and, without exaggerating anything, to show that in glycerin we have an article with a very wide range of uses, not yet all well determined. Much of the indifference which both druggists and practitioners have displayed toward it may be explained by disappointment resulting from the use of an imperfectly purified article. But, since the means of testing it are now understood to be very simple, it may be hoped that, in the future, its remarkable powers as a solvent, and advantages as a vehicle, as well as other available properties, may become better known and appreciated.
While claiming the credit only of a compiler in this little brochure, I have, at the same time, taken pains to verify the statements given, as far as was possible; and a few suggestions are made in regard to applications of glycerin, to which I venture to ask the attention of practitioners.
For aid in confirming, correcting and extending the accounts of authors in regard to the solvent powers of glycerin, I am especially indebted to Thomas S. Wiegand, chemist, of this city.

ON GLYCERIN.
History.
Glycerin was discovered by A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 16 about 9, in the residuum from the manufacture of lead plaster. It was investigated more fully in 1811, by Cheerful and A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 17 by the former of whom its present name was given. Gay-Lussac and Cheerful patented a process for separating the fatty acids in 1825; but glycerin was hardly known in commerce in its pure state until the beautiful discovery and invention of Mr. Richard Albert Tillman, of Philadelphia, patented in 1854; by which it was found to be obtainable absolutely pure by a very simple process.
It was first introduced into medical use by T. De La Roche, in 1844; and, at his suggestion, by Mr. J. Star tin, in the London Hospital for Diseases of the Skin. Mr. Waring ton patented, in 1846,' a method for preserving meat in it; and also pointed out its value in preparing and preserving objects for the microscope.
Gerhard gives this date. An account is given of the discovery in the Tran sac. of the Royal Academy of Sweden for 1783.

Cap and Ga rot investigated it anew, and published their observations in 1854. By them and by M. Surun its solvent powers were principally determined. Many other chemists, pharmacists, and medical men have since given attention to its properties and relations; although, in the language of G. Fergus son Wilson, "not a tithe of its uses have yet been developed."
Occurrence in Nature.
Glycerin does not exist uncombined in nature. It is present in the fat of all animals, including man, in natural A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 18 or compounds with fatty acids. It is, therefore, evolved in the A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 19 by alkalies or basic oxides, of all oily and fatty substances. A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 20 and wax, however, contain none of it. Gobley found it in the yolk of eggs and in the human brain, in the condition of phospho-glyceric acid, or phosphate of glycerin. Bert helot asserts its existence in cod-liver oil, as triacetin, or tractate of glycerin. Pasteur states that it is always evolved, in small quantity, in ordinary vinous or alcoholic fermentation. It was formed artificially by Wurtz through a somewhat complicated process; treating the bromide of ally l with acetate of silver; thus obtaining A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 21 tractate of glycerin), which was A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 22 by A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 23

Glycerin is a colorless syrupy liquid, decidedly sweet to the taste, in odorous when-pure, even when rubbed upon the hand. The specific gravity of the anhydrous is 1 -28 ;* of the best commercial preparation, having but two per cent. of water, 1-26. At 35 C-, it remains unfrozen.' Heated to a red heat it burns with a luminous blue flame. At 527 Fahd. it boils. When distilled without water it is decomposed, giving off acrolein, A Monograph On Glycerin and Its Uses - image 26
