to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
By crushing and mixing camphor and Jeyes Powder with the whiting I make it
a valuable sanitary agent to be used for all purposes that whiting is used for. It
will retain its sanitary properties a long time. Invaluable for hospitals, schools,
barracks, shipboard, stabling, parochial buildings farm buildings, warehouses &c.

sprinkling about cellars, sculleries, water closets drains &c.
Description of properties of the ingredients.-I take of camphor and Jeyes
Sanitary Powder equal proportions, crushing the camphor and mixing the two
ingredients together. I take half an ounce of this compound and mix with every
pound of whiting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is-
(1.) Its pleasing aroma not a bad smell to be used to destroy another bad smell

the sanitary properties still remain.
(2.) It will not injure but improve the finest colours when used in distemper, is
non poisonous it will not burn or injure the finest fabrics. A packet kept in the
wardrobe, drawers boxes &c. will keep away moths and other insects. Rooms
when stripped of paper previous to repapering should be done over with the
whiting, it will destroy all insects, besides the valuable sanitary particles remaining
behind the new paper, cannot be too highly prized.
(3) It is the cheapest and only powder in the market that can be used for so
many purposes, its pleasing aroma highly recommending its use.
