blood, and then put in a deep jar and covered with soda and 
water (one pound of soda to twelve sponges). They are left in this 
about twenty-four hours (or longer if the sponges are very dirty), 
and then they are washed perfectly free from every trace of soda. 
This takes several hours’ hard work, using hot water, squeezing 
the sponges in and out of the water, and changing the water 
constantly. Leaving them to soak for a few hours in very hot 
water greatly assists in the cleansing. When quite clean they 
are put in a jar of fresh water containing about one per cent, of 
carbolic acid, and after being in this for twenty-four hours they 
are squeezed dry and tied up in a white cotton bag, in which they 
are hung up in some dry place .—Medical Record.
