The addition of sodium chloride to the solutions gave the following results: a-Prom Hydrochloric Acid in noticable traces; Narcotine, Atropine, and Quinine. b-From Sulphuric Acid solution; Aconitine. Ether removed neither Brucine nor Strychnine from tartaric acid solutions. In 1901, Hans Proelss {5) gave a short description of the behavior of alkaloidal solutions toward different solvents. The work was divided in two parts; the first to determine the best solvent for the alkaloids as a class, and the second, the best solvent for the individual alkaloids. He compared the relative extractive powers of ether, chloroform, and benzene, and also mixtures of ether and chloroform, and alcohol and chloroform, for the alkaloids; Picrotoxin, Water Brucine M. P. 236-257°, with decomposition; browns at 210°.
