Strontium. - General Medicinal Properties of Com pounds of Strontium - Salts of strontium resemble those of calcium in being practically non-poisonous to the human system and in tending to improve nutri tion. Also they are of low diffusion power, and accordingly are comparatively slow of absorption. Strontium has been proposed in medicine as affording a base for medicinal salts that is non-poisonous and even agreeable to the stomach. Accordingly stron tium has been suggested for the basic carrier of bro mine, iodine, and salicylic acid, and the bromide, iodide, and salicylate of the metal are considerad preferable to the corresponding potassium and sodium salts, because better borne by the stomach. The United States Pharmacopoeia recognizes stron tium bromide, iodide, and salicylate (see Bromides, Iodides, and Salicylates); and formerly also the lactate, which latter salt will be considered here since its effects are not due specifically to its acid radical.
