270 BACTERIA. 



serviceable and the most available of all disinfecting agents, 

 or perhaps, better still, a thorough washing out of the in- 

 fected stalls with boiling water. Chlorine and carbolic acid 

 are both capital disinfectants. A 2 per cent, solution of 

 carbolic acid applied for twenty-four hours kills the glanders 

 bacillus, and a solution of 4 per cent, applied to the nasal 

 discharge for a single minute renders it perfectly innocuous. 

 A I per cent, solution of permanganate of potash,'0.23 or even 

 a 0.16 solution of chlorine water, or one-fifth per mille solu- 

 tion of corrosive sublimate, will also render the bacillus 

 perfectly innocuous within a couple of minutes. By means 

 of any of these the process of disinfection may be carried 

 on in stables in which glanders has occurred, with the 

 greatest ease and with absolute certainty.
