It is not the intention of this paper to discuss the action, uses and polytherapy of iodids in medicine. The technic employed for the quantitative analysis was the following: 1. A fiftieth normal solution of sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) was prepared and carefully standardized against a definite quantity of potassium iodid. The standardization was performed as follows: AnKeywords
