manner to check the destruction OF
these birds some years ago. IL would
be possible even now to rescue them
from determination by taking a little

regard TO the antiseptic properties on
certain organic acid hypsroxideS.
Research carried on for the last
year or so in the hygienic laboratory
and the laboratory of general chem

the formation of many of these or

OF oxygen on the surface of certain

has also been shown that the oxidiz-
ing power of oxygen varies with the
nature of the solids. Recently it has
become possible to prepare these hy-

hence the study of their action on
bacteria has been greatly facilitated.
