Note 412 — PHARMACOLOGIA. (continued 2)
Reading edition
In Wine and Porter, the solvent is probably Tartaric acid, for the Arsenite of Silver is soluble in this as well as in the acetic and nitric acids. In Tea the solvent would appear to be Tannin. The Arsenite of Silver is likewise dissolved by the Tartaric acid, and also, but not so readily, by the Citric and Acetic acids.
