The committee on disinfectants OF ths

prepared, at the request Of the sanitary
council Of the Mississippi valley. report On

time when an invasion Of Asiatic cholera
seemed imminent and the Language Of the
committee has been largely Influenced BY
that consideration.
DESTRUCTION OF GERMS.
Too much stress is consequently laid upon
the scientific definition OF the term 1disin.
