The bicarbonate, or, as it is commonly called, carbonate ofpotash, is sometimes used in indigestion, to correct acidity, to pre-vent the formation of lithic acid or red gravel; and for the latterpurpose it is frequently employed in gout, which, as we have al-ready had occasion to mention, is frequently complicated with theformation of red gravel.

The effervescing draught incommon use is made by dissolving a scruple of the bicarbonate ofpotash in water, and then adding fifteen grains of citric acid, or thesame quantity of tartaric acid, or three drachms and a half of lemonjuice. The dose of the bicarbonate of potash is from ten to thirtygrains three times a day. There are a number of salts of potash. Potts Disease. (See Spine, Diseases of.) POULTICES (CATA
