[Mullins, Bill CIV (US)]

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED

_The Cincinnati Lancet and Clinic_ Dec 14 1878 p 463 col 2
"The nomenclature is a judicious compromise between that pedantic extreme that calls water dihydrogen monoxide and a stupid reverence for the bygone which would still use hartshorn for ammonia or hyperoxymuriates for chlorates."
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
