acid,  10  parts ;  sulphate  of  zinc,  or  sulphate  of  iron,  3  parts.  Mix. 
Carbolic  acid  has  no  chemical  action  on  sulphuretted  hydrogen,  or 
carbonate  of  ammonium.  When  it  is  employed  alone  as  a  disinfectant, 
deodorization  does  not  take  place  till  the  gases  have  disappeared  by 
diffusion.  The  sulphates  change  the  sulphuretted  hydrogen  into  sul- 
phides, and  the  carbonate  of  ammonium  into  metallic  carbonate  and 
ammonium  sulphate — all  inodorous  compounds. — Lemaire. 
11.  Tlie  Silvern  Deodorant. — Good  quick  lime,  IJ  bushels,  put  in 
a  cask,  slaked,  and  well  stirred ;  coal  tar,  10  lbs.  Mix  thoroughly ; 
then  add  magnesium  chloride,  15  lbs.,  dissolved  in  hot  water.  Mix 
again,  and  add  hot  water  until  the  mass  is  liquid  enough  to  drop 
slowly  from  a  stick  plunged  into  it  and  then  withdrawn.  The  magne- 
sium chloride  forms  deliquescent  calcium  chloride.  Magnesia  being 
liberated,  this  prevents  caking  and  adherence  to  pipes,  which  is  a 
defect  when  lime  alone  is  used. — Parhes. 
12.  Carholized  Earth  (Terre  Coaltaree). — Common  loam,  passed 
through  a  sieve,  100  parts ;  coal  tar,  2  parts.  Mix  intimately.  Dis- 
infectant for  crops,  and  for  destruction  of  noxious  insects. — Lemaire. 
13.  Solution  of  Carbolic  Acid  for  the  Toilette. — Crystallized  car- 
bolic acid,  10  parts  ;  essence  of  millefleur,  1  part ;  tincture  of  quillaya 
saponaria,  50  parts  ;  water,  1000  parts.  Mix.  The  saponine  replaces 
soap  with  advantage.  The  above  should  be  employed,  diluted  with  ten 
times  its  bulk  of  water,  for  disinfecting  the  skin,  for  washing  the  hands 
after  any  risk  of  contagion  or  inoculation,  &c. — Lemaire.
