A New or Improved Manufacture of Composition for use as an
Ointment for Veterinary and all Cattle, Medicinal, Sanitary,
Disinfecting, and Cleansing Purposes, and for Destroying Fungoid
Growths.
We, WALTER BEACALL BISHOP of 48 Spelman Street, Mile End New Town
London E. Manufacturing Chemist, and ALFRED BISHOP of 48 Spelman Street,
Mile End New Town London, E. Manufacturing 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 the manufacture of a composition suitable for use as an
ointment, for veterinary and all cattle, medicinal and pharmaceutical purposes for
sanitary, disinfecting, and cleansing purposes, and for destroying fungoid growths
and composed of chalk, soft soap, chlorinated lime, creolin and friars balsam in or
about in the proportions hereinafter stated.
For this purpose chalk is mixed with soft soap and water in the proportion of
twelve and a half pounds of chalk to five pounds of soft soap, and five quarts of
water. This mixture is heated to the boiling point. Then there is added to the
above mentioned quantity of such mixture, ten ounces of chlorinated lime previously
mixed in a mortar with two and a half pints of water. The whole is then boiled
until a sample quantity taken out and allowed to cool becomes pasty. Then the
whole is allowed to cool and to the quantity stated five ounces of creolin and ten
ounces of friars balsam are stirred in. The composition is then ready for use.
It may be used as an ointment or as an antiseptic dressing, for the purpose of
treating footrot, maggot, ulcerated surfaces, and cracked hoofs in horses, sheep and
other animals. The said ointment may also be employed medicinally as an anti-
septic dressing and for treatment of ulcerated surfaces.
For sanitary and deodorizing purposes one ounce of the composition stirred up
with half a pint of water may be used for pouring down drains, on dust heaps etc.
One ounce of the composition mixed with a quart of water may be used in the
laundry for purifying infected clothes, or for bleaching clothes that may have
become discoloured, the latter being subsequently exposed to the sun.
One ounce of the composition mixed with a pint of water gives a liquor suitable
for horticultural purposes to destroy fungus on trees or plants, this liquor being
preferably applied to the affected parts of the tree or plant by means of a syringe.
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
claim is :-
:―
1. The herein described manufacture of a composition consisting of chalk, soft
soap, chlorinated lime, creolin, and friars balsam.
2. The manufacture as hereinabove described of the composition referred to in the
preceding claim.
