here Count Rinaldo diyerged from the

him, she would have seen doubt and
hesitation in his eyes, indecision in

and the paper, entitled Formaldehyde

is the result of many experiments and
the use of the gas in the Chicago de-

The paper sets forth the power OF
the gas to penetrate the cell walls OF

their contents, and upon that property
it is stated the gas becomes sucn a
valuable disinfectant. The Chicago
health department began experimental

now used almost entirely in the disin-
