    ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF BROMINE AND ITS COMPOUNDS; ALSO ON THE analogies between the physiological and MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF THESE BODIES, AND THOSE OF CHLORINE AND IODINE, WITH THEIR CORRESPONDENT COMPOUNDS ; BEING THE HARVEIAN PRIZE ESSAY FOR 1842. By R. M. GLOVER, M. D., Edin. Newcastle-on-Tyne. (From the Edinburgh Med. and Surg. Journal, No. 152.) Bromine and some of its compounds are known to possess great energy of action on the animal system The element and many of its compounds are interesting from the chemical analogies which they offer with well-known medicinal agents. Exact and beautiful chemical relations subsist between chlorine, bromine, and iodine, and between their compounds. Hence, a more complete investigation than has yet been recorded of the physiological a d medicinal properties of bromine, and of the mode m which they are affected by combination of the element with other bodies must appear likely, besides the more particular results to contribute to the solution of a problem of the highest interest, viz. th tent to which the chemical analogies of bodies are accompame ) analogy of action on the living system.
