experiment with, but it seems like the preceding three dips, 
except that it did not form so complete an emulsion with water, 
a small amount of black, oily fluid rising to the top. 
Australian Dip — Sulphur, 150 pounds; lime, 100 pounds, to 
100 gallons of water. The lime and sulphur were mixed with a 
small amount of water first and heated until all became a bright 
red liquid and then diluted to 100 gallons. 
Copperas Dip — Copperas, thirty pounds; water, 100 gallons. 
Flour of Sulphur — The dry powder used pure. 
Flour of Sulphur in Water — Used in the proportion of ten 
pounds of sulphur to 100 gallons of water. 
Curtice Dip — Tobacco leaves, fifty pounds; sulphur, ten 
pounds, to 100 gallons of water. The tobacco was first thor- 
oughly steeped, after which the leaves were removed and the 
sulphur put in the decoction and boiled for a half hour. 
Milk of Lime — Lump lime, 150 pounds; water, 100 gallons. 
Lime slaked in the water and used at once. 
Tobacco Decoction — Tobacco dust, 200 pounds; water, 100 gal- 
lons. The tobacco w^as steeped in the water and then the leaves 
squeezed and the strong decoction used in full and one-half, 
one-fourth and one-eighth full strength. 
Quiheirs Powder Dip — Put out by the same company as Qui- 
belPs Liquid Dip. This dip seems almost identical with the 
Cooper Dip. Like that dip, it is sold in paper packages, and was 
use in the proportions recommended by the directions. The pow- 
der dissolves readily in hot or cold wmter. 
Arsenite of Soda Dip — White arsenic, one ounce; carbonate 
of soda, one ounce; water, one gallon. The arsenic and carbonate 
of soda w ere first put in a small amount of water together, and 
boiled until the arsenic became entirely dissolved, and then the 
remainder of the water was added. Also used in weaker solutions. 
Carbolic Acid and Corrosive Sublimate — Carbolic acid, eight 
parts; corrosive sublimate, one part; water, 1,600 parts. (Sug- 
gested and prepared by Dr. Headden.) 
Carbolic Acid — Pure carbolic acid in water in proportions 
varying from one part in 100 to one part in 2,000. 
Kerosene Emulsion — Soap, one pound; water, one gallon; kero- 
sene, two gallons. After making the emulsion in these propor- 
tions in the usual manner the whole was diluted to sixteen gal- 
lons. Also used in one-half this strength. 
Pure Kerosene — Used without dilution. 
Alcohol — Used 05 per cent. pure. 
Whale-Oil Soap — Used in the proportion of one pound to 
two gallons of water.
