Excerpt from Monthly Retrospect of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 1: February to December, 1848 Mialhe enumerates the following among the chemical properties of chloroform It rapidly evaporates, producing great cold when dropped on the skin. It has neither an acid nor alkaline reaction, but is perfectly neutral when pure. It is easily dissolved by alcohol and ether, but is again separable by water. It readily deoxidizes nitric acid by the aid of a mo derate heat; gold is not dissolved by this mixture, hence no hydrochloric acid is formed, and no chlorine is evolved. Chloroform does not dissolve gold, nor does it bleach vegetable colours; hence, it con tains no free chlorine. Potassium floats in it without decomposing it, and no gas is evolved. It forms a milky liquid, but does not enter into combination with caustic potash. It is not inflammable, but it causes alcohol to burn with a yellow smoky flame. Chloroform mixes and combines with the essential oil of turpentine and bisulphuret of carbon. It dissolves cam phor, caoutchouc, amber, resins, iodine, and bromine - Taylor, filed.
