The following particulars as to the mode and proportions in which to use Chloride of Lime, Carbolic acid, and Condys fluid, have been kindly furnished by Messrs. Savory and Moore, and by Mr. Calvert.

For Fumigation By Chlorides

Dissolve one pound of the Chloride of lime in four gallons of water, and, after stirring the mixture well, allow it to settle; pour off the clear liquor, and place it in shallow dishes, or other convenient vessels in the rooms or passages of the house. For use in chamber-utensils, bed-pans, spittoons, etc., and where a volatile disinfectant is required, a wine-glassful of the above solution should be added to a pint of water.

Carbolic Acid

When required for the above purposes, that prepared "for disinfecting" (Calvert's No. 4 or No. 5) should be obtained - one ounce of this added to a quart of Water is sufficiently strong to purify drains, water-closets, etc. The mixture should be vigorously stirred or shaken (as Carbolic acid is not readily miscible with water). Half a pint of this solution put into any utensil used in the sick-room will disinfect the contents, and enable them to be preserved for the inspection of the medical man without any unpleasant effluvia arising.

Carbolic acid-oil for anointing patients, should consist of Olive oil and about 10 per cent, of Carbolic acid.

Condy's fluid

For use either with the spray producer to disinfect rooms, for cleaning sponges or bandages, washing the skin of the patient, the personal use of Nurses or Medical Attendants, dressing wounds, etc., Condy's fluid should be mixed with water in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint. Linen and Bed-clothes should be immersed in a solution made by mixing a wine-glassful in a pailful of water; diluted in this proportion it does not stain the linen.
