 microbicide and antiseptic of a gaseous nature 

 absorbed by water, and may be readily diluted 

 in. any proportion. It is of pronounced efficiency 

 in destroying disease germs affecting both animal 

 and plant life, and is successfully employed as a 

 preventive of such fungoid diseases as potato scab, 

 onion and grain smuts, musty corn and other af- 

 fected seeds, damping off of seedlings, club root of 

 roses, etc, for the restraining of decay in vege- 

 tables, fruits, etc., and as an antiseptic wash and
