For this purpose I provide a closed chamber or room wherein I place the cask, casks or vessels which have been previously washed inside and I treat their interior by means of sulphurous acid or other suitable innocuous germ destroying vapour. The vapour may be generated by burning sulphur in the HJ chamber. The chamber may be heated by steam piping and free steam may be admitted for supplying moisture. When the casks have been subjected to this treatment a sufficiently long time they are taken out and rinsed out with Tiot water when necessarv as for instance for wine and beer or they may be closed or corked and put aside till wanted being thus protected against becoming foul 15 again. The casks may be connected by flexible or other pipes so that the vapour generated in or admitted to one cask passes successively through the others and then to an outlet or chimney; means fer creating draught may be provided as required. 20 Dated this 14th day of IN^ovember 1900.
