TRIAL OF DIsINFECTANTs. - Yesterday
afternoon, at the corner of Second and Morris
streets, two new disinfecting compounds were
tested in the presence of several physicians and
members OF the Board of Health. The deodori.
Zlng liquids are patented. The experiments
were conducted by the inventor. One of the
liquids is for use in cesspools the other for dis
injecting putrid offal. Both were tried with
success, sc, far as changing the odor of the
decomposed matter was concerned. The expert.
ment with the ohal was more successful than
the other. 1t is claimed that by the application
OF the compound to the contents of cesspools.
the latter, while deprived of it's noxious effects
upon the atmosphere, loses none of its qualities
as fertilizer. more extensive trial would
probably be necessary to determine fully the
value OF the invention, although several of the
gentlemen present expressed satisfaction at the
results.
