Method as extracted

To ground calcined bones, dif- fused through water, add a little dilute sulphuric acid to saturate any carbonate of calcium present ; when effervescence ceases, dissolve the whole in nitric acid, q. s. ; to this solution add as much sulphate of sodium as the bone ash used, and distil the whole to recover the nitric acid; the residuum is treated with water, and the resulting solution filtered, evaporated, and crystallised.
