    ing infected places, Avails, &c., the Chlor. Qxid. Calci. may be used instead of Sodium, because that of Calcium may be had at about three pence per pound, and from four to five ounces, diluted with a gallon of hot water, will be sufficiently strong for that purpose. The warmer the climate is, the stronger the lotions of the Chlorurets should be made, for the purpose of neutralizing effluvia arising from putrid animal matter, and for correcting the air in infected places; all this may be easily managed by active and intelligent observers; and when the application of the Chlorurets of Sodium and Calcium are more extensively knoAvn, their superior antiseptic qualities will be found incalculable. I am sensible that this subject might be much more dwelt upon, but still, if hereafter it should pave the way to some happy results in the healing art, I flatter myself that they will then be considered as an important advancement in medical science.
