CONDY'S FLUID PERMANGANATE OF POTASH 



Mr. R. B. Marston, editor of the Fishing 

 Gazette, has some interesting suggestions in 

 that magazine (April 9, 1898) as regards the 

 possible advantages of using permanganate of 

 potash for clarifying ponds and tanks. 



The action of this chemical ingredient 

 is 'precipitation' of deleterious or other 

 matter or solids in suspension. 



It can hardly perhaps be considered exactly 

 an equivalent for aeration of water, though 

 the effect upon the fish might prove very 

 similar.
