DIFFUSION  OF   FLUIDS  BY  THE  ATOMIZER  FOR  THE 
PURPOSE  OF  DEODORIZATION  AND  DISINFECTION. 
Dr.  Richardson  explained  to  the  members  of  the  British 
Medical  Association  a  process  he  had  adopted  for  applying  the 
atomizer  for  the  purpose  of  deodorization.  He  made  a  mixture 
by  adding  iodine  to  a  solution  of  peroxide  of  hydrogen  until 
saturation  occurred,  and  afterwards  concentrated  sea-salt  in  pro- 
portion of  2J  per  cent.  In  this  combination  a  water  was  pro- 
duced like  sea-water,  and  which  was  rendered  active  by  being 
charged  with  free  iodine  and  ozone.  The  solution,  placed  in 
one  of  Krohne's  hand  atomizers,  could  be  diffused  in  the  finest 
state  of  distribution  at  the  rate  of  two  fluid  ounces  in  a  quarter
