stroyed by the use of Carbolic Aciu. See REPORT OF 
COMMISSIONERS, M. R Patrick, Lewis F. Allen, John 
6tanton Gould, on page 33— “ Carbolic Acid is an absolute 
and perfect disinfectant . It not only destroys the odor, but 
kills the virus of the disease The report further says, on 
page 30—“ With reasonable care on the part of stock owners 
in keeping themselves supplied with CARBOLIC ACID 
and using it freely on their premises , there appears to be a 
perfect immunity from diseases that have hitherto carried 
inevitable destrxiction wherever they appeared!' 
Liquid Carbolic Acid, from 30c. to $2 per gallon. 
Pure Crystallized Acid, 60c. per pound. 
Carbolic Acid, crude liquid or in crystals, with direc¬ 
tions for use, can be obtained of the manufacturers.
