PHENOL — CARBOLIC ACID 451 



intravenous use of the drug in 2 per cent, solution. Some practi- 

 tioners administer phenol in the drinking water or in an enema. 



8. Disinfectant. Phenol is a very useful disinfectant for build- 

 ings, runs, etc., in from 3 to 5 per cent, solution. A disinfectant 

 made from equal parts of crude carbolic acid and sulphuric acid is 

 just as efficient and much cheaper than those made from phenol. 



Contraindications. Phenol should be sparingly used upon 

 cats and dogs and should not be used as a disinfectant for kennels or 

 catteries. These animals are very susceptible to the drug and may 

 absorb enough to cause disastrous results. It should not be used 

 as a disinfectant for meat markets, meat wagons, milk houses, or 

 wagons, as it is liable to taint the product. This holds good for any 

 of the coal tar disinfectants.
