Determination of the rela-
tive germicidal properties
of Zonite and Dakin's in
the presence Of saliva

In the test to the left the exact condi-
tons of organic matter in the human
mouth were reproduced and are en-
tirely comparable 90 far as organic
materials are concerned to the fluids
present on the other mucous mem
brane surfaces of the body. Please
note that a l:I00 dilution of Zonite
containing 0.0o gram per liter of
chlorine produced complete steriliy
in FIVE minutes while it required a
lilo dilution of DaEn's containing
O.46s gram per liter of chlorine to
accomplish the same result. Com
pare this test with the one above
and observe the diminishing power
of Dakin's when approaching the
conditions encountered in actual use.

plete laboratory report on the antiseptic Zonite,

Doctors are busy men, constantly showered with

few of the facts most essential to a knowledge

micide now available. We make this statement
knowing that it has been substantiated by ex.
haustive laboratory and clinical tests and that it
has been endorsed by every biologist and surgeon
who has Investigated the product.
The disadvantages of the Carrel-Dakin Solution
are difficulty of preparation, lack of uniformity,
instability and loss of effectiveness in the pres
ence of organic matter. On the other hand, Zonite
is ready to use, uniform, stable and much more
efficient in the presence of organic matter. AS
an indication of this you will find below two
tables and chart which are the result of
laboratory investigation of Zonite and Dakin's.

Stability test of Zonite and
Dakin's over a period of
five months

The laboratory making the test to
the left has the following to say in
their report concerning same: In
order to determine stability. samples
of Zonite were kept under observa-
ton for period of two years and
the total available chlorine deter
mined every two months. During
the first year no detachable loss in
strength occurred while less than 0.3
of a gram per liter was lost during
the entire period.'

Oriental Idea of Missionaries
Continuing his talk the rector said,
when l first went to China to do
missionary work and to help the poor
people in that country by giving them
money, they would accept it but not
with the belief that I was benefiting
them They thought. as many of
them have since told me, that Ameri-
can missionaries were some sort of
criminals in this country who had re-
ceived great deal of money and
came to China to give it away.
Conditions have changed now,
however. and the Chinese are even
willing to help us raise money with
which to carry on our work in their
country. They have woke up to the
fact that the missionaries are sincere
above all let me emphasize the
point that the Christian religion has
come to China to stay. In Wu-Hu,
the town | am stationed in, there are
five Episcopal churches and seven
schools under the jurisdiction of this
church. In the parish primary school
there are about 600 Chinese boys and
the total number of adult communi
cants in the church numbers about
500"
Rev. Mr.. Lund said that there are
only three American missionary work |
ers in that town, but there are five |
Chinese clergymen and over 80 Chin
csc teachers. He spoke highly of the
work being done in that country
