PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Antiseptic Disinfecting and Deodorizing Compound.
I, JEAN MARIE RAYMOND of 77 Avenue de Clichy, Paris, France, Chemist
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an antiseptic disinfecting and deodorizing compound for
the disinfection in general of animal and vegetable matter in a state of putrefaction,
and also for the preservation of animal blood in an inodorous condition and its
disinfection after putrefaction has commenced.
A comparative study of the various disinfectants heretofore employed has demon-
strated that the chlorides of zinc or of lime, the sulphates of iron, of zinc, or of
copper, phenol, thymol, cresyl, &c., effect only a partial and therefore inefficient
disinfection. After analysis of the various gases evolved by decomposed matter
which with the bacteria they convey give rise to contagious diseases, it has been
sought to discover the particular antiseptic products which possess the greatest
degree of efficiency for the fixation of these mephitic gases and the suppression of
their noxious action, and to so combine or group these products that they should
not mutually impede or destroy each others action.
This invention consists essentially in the association with a solution of zinc
sulphate of various antiseptic products producing the effects above mentioned, such
as zinc acetate, boric acid, aluminium sulphate and acetate, sodium hyposulphite,
mercuric iodide, and acetic acid. The number and proportions of the ingredients
to be combined may be varied according to the particular purpose for which the
disinfectant is to be employed, but I will indicate merely as examples two formulas
which have been found to give the best results for the purposes mentioned.

The last mentioned ingredient being added only when a very powerful disinfecting
action is required. The action of this composition is very efficacious for the dis-
infection of water closets, privies, urinals, soil and drain pipes, sinks, stables, kennels,
courtyards, sick chambers, foul linen, &c.

Both of these compositions have given excellent results, the deodorization and
disinfection being complete, no ferment remaining in existence after their use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Antiseptic Disinfecting and Deodorizing Compound.
I, JEAN MARIE RAYMOND of 77, Avenue de Clichy, Paris, France, Chemist,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to an antiseptic disinfecting and deodorizing compound
which may be used in the form of a powder, soap, or liquid, for the disinfection and
deodorization in general of animal and vegetable matters in a state of putrefaction.
This compound may be employed-
(1) For effecting the permanent deodorization and disinfection of urinals, water-
closets, sick rooms, and other places whether public or private, for receiving or
conveying away evacuations of all kinds whether solid or liquid;
(2) For preserving skins or hides and preventing their putrefaction whereby they
are rendered capable of being transported in a sound condition ;
(3) For disinfecting clothing and linen fouled by persons suffering from
contagious diseases as well as for purifying infected dwellings.
This improved product possesses the following advantages as compared with the
various disinfectants heretofore employed such as metallic sulphates and chlorides,
phenol, volatile and heavy oils, thymol, turpentine, cresyl, naphthol, etc.,―
(1) It deodorizes instantly without leaving any smell;
(2) It completely disinfects places or matters by destroying bacterial germs of
fermentation;
(3) It destroys in a few minutes the bacilli of epidemic and contagious diseases,
such as diphtheria, typhoid, anthrax, cholera, etc.
(4) It injures neither stone, wood, metals, linen, nor fabrics.
To obtain the whole of these results combined has necessitated a prolonged study
of the various products suitable for use as deodorants and disinfectants, with a view
to select and group together such of them as would not be liable to mutually impede
or destroy each other's action, in order to obtain the highest maximum of efficiency
possible in the composition of a complex and at same time special product.
The invention consists essentially in the association with zinc sulphate of various
other deodorizing or antiseptic agents, each having its own special action, so as to
obtain by their conjoint operation a product of assured efficiency. These agents
are alum, aluminium sulphate, boracic acid, magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphite
and hyposulphite, calcium sulphate, and potassio-mercuric-iodide this latter product
being added only. when it is desired to overcome very strong infection and to
disinfect the rooms, evacuations, linen, and bedding, of persons suffering from
contagious diseases.
The number and proportions of the ingredients to be combined may be varied
according to the particular purpose for which the disinfectant is to be employed,
but I will indicate, merely as examples, four formulas which have been found to
give the best results for the purposes mentioned.

This composition is chiefly intended for use in slaughterhouses where the blood
shed is liable to decompose and give rise to infection, but in certain cases the
sulphates of zinc and aluminium may be omitted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
The herein described deodorizing and disinfecting compounds for use either in
the form of a powder, soap, or liquid, consisting essentially in the combination, with
zinc sulphate, of the various other ingredients herein before specified, in number
and proportion dependent on the purpose to which the composition is to be applied,
substantially as described.
