cation. used at the Port Townsend
quarantine station, much complaint
is heard from masters, officers and

clothing, fittings and furnishings, due
from the fumes of the powerful acids
used. Almost everything in the
shape of clothing, and especially linen,
such as shirts, night clothes, pajamas,
sheets, pillow slips, etc., are invariably
spoiled, the penetrating smoke leav-
ing great splotches of yellow stain on
the garments. And again it is months
before the cabins. fo'castle and galley
can be rid OF the nauseating odor left
by the quarantine workers. 1t would
seem that some milder working but
equally afficacious disinfectant than
the powerful acids now used, might
be put into service.
