An Improved Antiseptic Disinfecting* and Deodorizing* Compound. I? Jean Marie Raymond of 77 Avenue de Clichy, Paris, France, Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— This invention relates to an antiseptic disinfecting and deodorizing compound for the disinfection in general of animal and vegetable matter in a state of putrefaction, 5 and also for the preservation of animal blood in an inodorous condition and its disinfection after putrefaction has commenced. A comparative study of the various disinfectants heretofore employed has demon¬ strated that the chlorides of zinc or of lime, the sulphates of iron, of zinc, or of copper, phenol, thymol, cresyl, &c., effect only a partial and therefore inefficient 10 disinfection. After analysis of the various gases evolved by decomposed matter which with the bacteria they convey give rise to contagious diseases, it has been sought to discover the particular antiseptic products which possess the greatest degree of efficiency for the fixation of these mephitic gases and the suppression of their noxious action, and to so combine or group these products that they should 15 not mutually impede or destroy each others action. This invention consists essentially in the association with a solution of zinc sulphate of various antiseptic products producing the effects above mentioned, such as zinc acetate, boric acid, aluminium sulphate and acetate, sodium hyposulphite, mercuric iodide, and acetic acid. The number and proportions of the ingredients 20 to be combined may be varied according to the particular purpose for which the disinfectant is to be employed, but I will indicate merely as examples two formulas which have been found to give the best results for the purposes mentioned. I. Disinfectant for General Application.
