Experiments in regard TO the effect OF
chemical disinfectants were made only
with carbolic acid 1t was found that an
exposure of two hours 10 a ] per cent.
solution OF the acid sufficed to destroy
the life Of the bacillus
DR.. Wilson's experiments were similar
10 those formerly made by Kitasato and

favorable conditions. and the results were
therefore more satisfactory. lie found
that the thermal death point OF the or
