Extract

The condition of the alkali in the blood—of that portion on which its alkaline reaction depends—has been the subject of much speculation, and of many experiments. Enderling is one of the latest inquirers who has given it his attention. After having made an analysis of the ashes of the blood, he has come to the conclusion, that the alkali in it is in combination with phosphoric acid, the former predominating in the form of the tribasic phosphate of soda.
