vessel, holding the materials, will insure a greater volume 

 of gas. (See Disinfectants, in the body of the book.) 



Chlorine, when sufficiently and properly used, is consi- 

 dered to be of great advantage, in arresting the ravages 

 of glanders, farcy, and other distempers in the horse, and 

 pleuro-pneumonia, and contagious typhus in cattle, and 

 small pox in sheep. It is to be hoped that farmers gene- 

 rally, will provide themselves with proper apparatus, for this 

 purpose, which will not cost above three dollars, and con- 

 sists of a small lamp, with a stand so formed, that a small, 

 glass bottle, commonly called a Florence Flask, can sit 

 right above the blaze of the lamp, issuing from its wide, 

 and open mouth, the disease-healing, and health-restoring 

 gas. 



Chloric Ether. — Chloroform, dissolved in spirits of 

 wine. 



Chloride of Potassium — Is similar to chloride of 

 soda, or common salt. 



Chloride of Lime, 



Use. — As a disinfectant, from its antiseptic, and deo- 

 dorizing effects, and is an excellent stimulant to unhealthy 

 ulcers. Chloride of lime has been highly recommended 

 in tympanitis in the horse, and hoven in cattle, arising 

 from eating wet clover. 



Lose. From two to four drachms, given, mixed with 

 cold water. 



As a disinfectant, it may be^ sprinkled on the stable, or 

 barn floor, every morning ; but a good way would be to 

 suspend it in a box, having many small holes in it, and, 

 hung from the roof of the house. If the house be large, 

 two or more boxes may be used. 



Chloroform — Ter chloride of Formyle.
