HERBERT STAPLES, Market Lane, Brigg JOSEPH STAPLES 24 Engine Street Brigg
WILLIAM STAPLES 2 Garden Street Brigg in the County of Lincoln Chemical Manu-
facturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is an improvement in the manufacture of a Cattle Cleanser, Sheep
Dip or Disinfecting Fluid.
A portion of the more volatile properties of crude mineral oil obtained by refining
are retained for use in connection with a combination of animal or vegetable oil
treated by saponification. To these is added tar oil and acid obtained by the
distillation of coal tar, the oil having a specific gravity of 1045 and the acid a specific
gravity of 1050 to 1055. Resin oil procured by distilling resin is used with resin
in its ordinary form, to which is added a solution of sodium hydroxide with a fixed
percentage of sulphur. The whole is thoroughly boiled and mixed together and
when cold is ready for use. The fluid forms a non-poisonous compound for destroying
vermin & filth in cattle-sheep &c. and also a disinfectant for sanitary purposes.
Being in a concentrated form it is diluted with water before using.
Dated this 17th day of October 1889.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in the Manufacture of a Cattle Cleanser, Sheep Dip,
or Disinfecting Fluid.
HERBERT STAPLES, Market Lane Brigg JOSEPH STAPLES, Engine Street Brigg,
WILLIAM STAPLES, 2 Garden Street. Brigg in the County of Lincoln Chemical Manu-
facturers, 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 :—
We take resin or pine oil which we combine with water and reduce it by heat
until it assumes a semi fluid or solid consistency and is in a state to act as a vehicle
for carrying and facilitating the mixing of the other liquids and solids previous to
combining the whole by heating as hereinafter described. We take resin in its
ordinary form and add it gradually until dissolved.
We take whale oil and cotton oil which we treat by saponification using a potash
ley and obtain a semi fluid residuum or soft soap to which we add purified mineral
oil or naptha.
We then add tar oil and tar acid, the oil having preferably a specific gravity
of 1045 and the acid a specific gravity of 1050.
We dissolve sodium hydroxide and make a solution of the same with water. The
solution having a specific gravity of 1.325.
Sulphur is then added to the rest of the ingredients and the whole put in a boiler
and heat applied, being well stirred and the heating continued until a thorough
combination of the contents of the boiler is effected. It is then allowed to cool and
when cold is ready for immediate use or it may be kept for an unlimited period
without deteriorating.
The usual proportions of the ingredients are as follows: viz.: we take 1360 lbs.
of pine oil, 440 lbs. resin, 500 lbs. of soft soap 25 lbs. naptha 4200 lbs. tar oil 750 lbs.
tar acid 400 lbs. sodium hydroxide solution and 20 lbs. sulphur.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
The reduction of the admixture of pine oil and water to a semi-solid state thus
allowing of the other ingredients being more readily mixed with it and prepared for
combination by heating.
The heating and mixing of the whole at one final operation thus securing a
thorough liquid combination of the ingredients no part being held in suspension.
That the fluid forms a concentrated non-poisonous compound capable of admixture
with water and of being used with absolute safety for destroying parasites and
vermin in domestic and other animals, or for disinfection, and to which we give the
name of Staples Brothers Cattle Cleanser Disinfectant and Sheep Dip (non-
poisonous).
