Destruction of the Germs of Disease,

As the result of series of expert
ments on the destruction OF low forms
of life by heat, DR.. Grace Calvert dem.
onstrates that the germs of disease will
withstand temperature of 3000 Fab.
renheit. Exposure to such a heat as
tnis Injuries the fibers of all kinds of
cloth so seriously that they are unfit for
further use. 1t is therefore evident
that the mere agency OF heat cannot be
depended upon for the destruction of
the germs or corpuscles attached to the
cloth ng of persons who have suffered
from any contagious disease.
The necessity for change in opinion
regarding the power of chlorine gas to
accomplish this purpose is urged in
recent report of the New York Boar |
of Health on the disinfection of cloth
ing and rooms that have been exposed
to contamination by smallpox. In the
report in question carbolic acid is espe-
cially recommended for the disinfection
of clothing and bedding, and sulphur
Gus acid gas prepared by burning sui.
phur for the disinfection of rooms.
The latter substance especially seems to
have the power of utterly destroying
the germs of smallpox, while chlorine
frequently fails altogether or only &C
complishes the objec. in an imperfect
manner.
