Saponaceous Compounds. 
Disinfectant, Insect Destroyer, Pre¬ 
ventive of Fungus, etc. 
Frequent mention has been made in the columns of the 
American Agriculturist of Cresylic Compounds, as being 
valuable for destroying insects on animals and plants, and 
for other purposes. For some months past we have been 
investigating the merits of these preparations, with the 
following results. 
Cresylic Acid is extracted from gas-tar, to which it gives 
the peculiar.odor perceived on burning the tar. It 1ms been 
used to a limited extent by chemists and physicians, for va¬ 
rious purposes, and their experiments have shown it to pos¬ 
sess remarkable properties as a disinfectant, and in destroy¬ 
ing insect life and fungus growth. In its ordinary form it 
could not be readily applied, and lienee was not available 
for common use. About two years since, Messrs. JAMES 
BUCHAN & CO., of New York, well-known as extensive 
manufacturers of family soaps, conceived the idea of com¬ 
bining this acid in saponaceous compounds. By long and 
careful experimenting, they succeeded in producing soaps 
in various forms, possessing the active properties of this 
acid, and thus bringing it within the reach of all classes. 
These compounds iiavc been patented. 
We have watched with great interest tlie results of vari¬ 
ous applications of these compounds, knowing that if suc¬ 
cessful, they would be of incalculable benefit to the commu¬ 
nity. By tests made under our own supervision, and tlie re¬ 
ports of careful observers, we believe it to be established 
that these Cresylic Compounds are 
1st. Complete Disinfectants.— They not only re¬ 
move all noxious odors from sink3, privies, stables, etc., but 
will destroy all infection in clothing, rooms, etc., washed 
with their solution. Thus, contagion from Small Pox, 
Typlms Fever, Cholera, and other diseases, may be effectu¬ 
ally prevented. They are used in the New York and other 
Hospitals for these purposes. 
3ti. Insect Destroyers.—An animal washed witli 
Cresylic Soap will be entirely freed from all vermin. It 
will destroy ticks on sheep, fleas on dogs, lice on cattle or 
poultry, roaches, ants, bedbugs, etc., in rooms. It repels 
flies from animals, and tints is especially useful in case of 
wounds or sores from any cause. 
So far as tried, it lias been efficacious in repelling insects 
from plants. We desire to have it more thoroughly tested 
for this purpose, and reports to be made. We believe it will 
free plants from Aphides, bark lice, slugs, bugs, caterpillars, 
striped bugs, curculio, and tlie whole host of minute but 
powerful enemies in the garden and fruit yard. 
3d. Preventive of Fungus Growth.—On this 
point we ask for further experiment. We feel confident this 
soap, properly applied, will prevent smut in wheat, mildew 
on vines, and similar parasitic growth, and trust that exper¬ 
imenters will furnish the result of their trials. 
4th. Cleaning Sores, etc.—For washing ulcers and 
other foul sores, and preventing gangrene in wounds, etc., 
Cresylic Soap is, we believe, unequalled.' We know also that 
it lias been successful wherever used, for foot rot in sheep, 
and mange, itch, ring-worm, and other skin diseases. 
Prom numerous RECOMMENDATIONS of 
Cresylic Compounds, the following are 
selected as being specially valuable.

Messes. Buchan & Co.— Gentlemen —Some months since 
we purchased a large building which had been used as a 
tenement establishment for thirteen years, and was occupied 
by some ninety families. We tore away partitions, turning 
between three and four hundred rooms into less than one 
hundred. We found the walls and floors perfectly infested 
with vermin. We used freely in cleansing the CRESYLIC 
SOAPS, manufactured by your firm, and with the very best 
results, as the hugs, etc., have entirely disappeared. We 
propose to continue its use in cleaning our dormitories, hop¬ 
ing then to keep clear of a plague so common to all house¬ 
keepers in cities. S. B. HALL1DAY, Supt.

M. C. Edey, Agent for Sale of James Buchan & Co's, 
Cresylic Soaps, etc .—Dear Sir—We have had the Cresylic 
Soap used in the Raymond Street Jail and County Court 
House, and in washing and cleansing prisoners’ clothing. 
cells, etc.; and wc are so much pleased witli its cleansing, 
disinfecting and insect-destroying effects, that we not only 
continue its use in above places, but recommend that it 
should be generally used for those purposes.

Messrs. James Buchan & Co.— Gentlemen : Your Sheep 
Dip is wonderful in its effects. I have dipped 2,150 head 
with nine months’ fleeces on their hacks. It is now three 
weeks since, and no scratching as yet. Your Dip is far su¬ 
perior to tobacco, not so disagreeable or unpleasant, much 
less trouble and more permanent. 
I have used it on horses when diseased with a species of 
mange or itch, and it has the same good effect as on sheep. 
F. W. SHAEFFER. 
On tlie use of disinfectants, the following is the testimony 
of Dr. Elisha Harris, Registrar of the Metropolitan Board 
of Health, New York City: 
“The Disinfecting and Antiseptic Powef. of Good 
Carbolic Acid* is so Great that One Part of it to 
Fifty on One Hundred Parts is Sufficient for Ordi¬ 
nary Purposes.” • 
* CRESYLIC ACID is the active property of Carbolic 
Acid.
