The tracing also shows how activity thus stopped can berestored by precipitating the calcium with a solution of Na2S04 equimolecular per cent NaCl. The action of calcium presents another point of interest. Calciumhas the power to stop the action of a beating strip. This standstillcan be removed by transferring the strip to a solution of puresodium chloride or by precipitating the excess of calcium withsodium sulphate. In Fig. 6 is shown the action of sodium powerfully beating strip was stopped at by the action ofcalcium chloride. At it was treated with sodium sulphate, insolution equimolecular with per cent sodium chloride, and beats reappeared. The result can be secured a number oftimes in succession. This action is analogous to that of atropin and The Action
