Cut spongeinto small pieces and bruise it, in order to free it from anyadhering extraneous substances; then burn it in a coverediron vessel, until it becomes black and friable; finally, rub itto a very fine powder. The properties of burnt sponge consist of carbonate and phos-phate of lime, subcarbonate of soda, iodine, and charcoal. Theactive ingredients are the subcarbonate of soda and the iodine. Burnt sponge is tonic, deobstruent, and antacid. It has beenmuch recommended in bronchocele, scrofulous affections, andherpetic eruptions. It has also been used with considerableeffect in scirrhous testicle, when given in combination withcinchona bark. It is supposed to derive its efl5cacy from theiodine it contains. The dose is from one to three drachms,mixed into the form of an electuary, with powdered cinna-mon and honey. In bronchocele the patient is directed toswallow the portion of electuary very slowly, from a supposi-tion that some local effect is produced. 8 X. VERTEBRATA. Vertebrated Animals. No. DOMESTICUS.
