Glauber's salt \Glau"ber's salt`\or Glauber's salts \Glau"ber's
salts`\ [G. glaubersalz, from Glauber, a German chemist who
   discovered it. See {Glauberite}.]
   Sulphate of soda, a well-known cathartic. It is a white
   crystalline substance, with a cooling, slightly bitter taste,
   and is commonly called ``salts.''

   Note: It occurs naturally and abundantly in some mineral
         springs, and in many salt deposits, as the mineral
         mirabilite. It is manufactured in large quantities as
         an intermediate step in the ``soda process,'' and also
         for use in glass making.
