did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said

my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said
Victor Larnaudes, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should in any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "AN
IMPROVED CHEMICAL COMPOUND TO BE USED AS A DISINFECTING AND PRESERVING
FLUID FOR THE CURE OF DISEASE AMONG CATTLE, AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES
FOR WHICH IT IS APPLICABLE," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the
said Victor Larnaudes, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in
writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great
Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said. Letters Patent.
.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Victor Larnaudes, do hereby declare the.
nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This Invention consists of an improved medicine or compound of chemicals,
as described in my Provisional Specification, No. 642, dated Third March,
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
The object of this Invention is to purify all places infected with impure air,
to arrest the progress of and cure disease or fever and other like maladies
among cattle, for purifying gas and affording a vastly superior light, for
embalming, and for cleansing or purifying localities such as manure factories,
tan pits, slaughterhouses, cesspools, sewers, urinals, hospitals, dissecting rooms
sick rooms, and all other places where impure and unhealthy air exists.

page_text: Where such mixture is sprinkled over or mixed with putrid or rotten sub-
stances to be used as manure, it not only prevents the bad and impure
vapours and smell arising therefrom, but also preserves the nutrætive matter
in the manure, which would otherwise evaporate.
The manner in which the fluid is used is as follows:-To purify infected
places an ordinary watering can and rose is used for sprinkling the fluid or
mixture in all directions in the air, and if necessary on the walls, floor, and
ceiling, or a sponge or cloth may be made to answer the same purpose as the
can.
For embalming or using it for animals suffering from disease or fever a
sponge or cloth is dipped into the mixture and rubbed on the body or part
infected, and for preventing impure air arising from and preserving the
nutrætive matter in manure of all kinds the mixture is poured on such
manure from a can and rose, or in any other manner as may be found most
convenient.
For purifying gas this fluid is placed in the meter in lieu of the common
water, and the advantage is, 1st, that all bad smell is prevented; and, 2ndly,
that the fluid will not freeze at any temperature. If preferred the fluid may
be contained in a vessel detached from the meter, and the gas be made to pass
through the same.
Having thus stated the nature and object of my said Invention, I wish it to
be understood that I do not restrict myself to the precise proportion of the
several ingredients used, as the same may be variously increased or diminished
as found necessary; but I claim generally the mixture as herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Victor Larnaudes, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Third day of September, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
VICTOR LARNAUDES. (L.s.)
