Mercurius Biniodatus Cum Kali Iodatum

(Biniodide of Mercury.)

Hg I 2

General Analysis.-

The Iodides of Mercury act especially upon the glands and mucous membrane of the throat, after the manner of other Mercurius, though partaking somewhat of the action of Iodine.

In the Biniodide this latter action preponderates, while the action of the Protoiodide more closely resembles that of Mercury.
