    Price s Improvements in Disinfectants and Deodorizers. Another very important feature in my preparation consists in its solubility in water, and it therefore will not choke up or clog the drain pipes or sewers, and consequently is specially adapted for household purposes, barracks, hospitals, work- houses, stables, or other buildings, draining into the common sewers, where 5 it would complete its work by destroying the foul gases and purifying the fluid matters. From experience I find that the most suitable proportions of the ingredients which I combine for the purposes enumerated, having all ends in view, are as follows :— ^ 1 part manganate of soda, 1^ parts chloride of lime, 174 parts salt cake (sulphate of soda), but I may vary or determine the proportions under special circumstances and conditions which might present themselves in practice. 15 As the salt cake contains a small portion of free hydrochloric or nitric acid, it is a most valuable adjunct to the other purifying agents, which combined would serve to prepare sewage matters for treatment at the outfall, the ammoniaeal and nitrogenous properties b enhance the value of the 20 agricultural purposes. I propose calling my new compound u Sal-Ozone,” and to use it for disinfecting, deodorising, and neutralising noxious and offensive effluvia and decomposing or putrescent animal or vegetable matters. It is found to be effective, innocuous, portable and economical, and can be used in a dry or liquid state, and being 25 soluble is eminently suited for putting down sinks, drains, or sewers, to neutralise sewer gases, and arrest decomposition in the sewerage matters. It does not destroy but adds to the valuable fertilising properties contained therein, and such sewerage matters can after treatment with my preparation be therefore profitably utilised tor agricultural purposes. ing fixed ready for precipitation—hence it would greatly deposit by rendering it a highly fertilising commodity for 30 Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven¬ tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :— 1. A disinfectant and deodorizer, composed of a mixture or combination of salt cake (sulphate of soda) with suitable proportions of manganate of soda and chloride 35 of lime, for the purposes as herein set forth. 2. A disinfectant and deodorizer, composed of a mixture or combination of salt cake (sulphate of soda) with suitable compounds or substances containing oxygen and chlorine, for the purposes as herein set forth.
