glycerin Is a valuable sterilizing
agent. Various deadly germs, when
heated in 1t to a temperature of 24S
degrees Fahrenheit. were completely
killed in n minute. This process is
particularly valuable for sterilizing
surgical instruments, for the reason
that the metal is not attacked nor is

can be sterilized in it. and. instead Of
being injured, the elasticity of those
which have become brittle is restored
