COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Insecticide for the Treatment of the Diseases
of the Vine and other Trees and Plants.
I, JOSÉ BAXERES ALZUGARAY, of Porto, Portugal, Engineer, 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:-
My invention consists in the use of Petroleums, ethers and essences of Petroleum
and residues of its distillation, oils of schist, naphtha and the oils produced in the
distillation of coals and tars, as also of their derivatives, and by extension, of all other
raw or refined, solid or liquid carburets or hydrocarburets of the "Aromatic group"
(any of such products taken alone, or several of them used in combination, together
with the facility that there will be of obtaining them wherever tho manufacture takes
place), one or more of such products mixed or combined with a variable proportion
of sulphur or of any sulphuret, in order to produce my new or improved Insecticide
compound, which I entitle "Phylloxerine, or Anti-phylloxeric liquor" for the treat-
ment of the diseases of the vine and other trees or shrubs attacked by insects or
parasites, whatever may be their manner or period of manifestation.
:
The oils above referred to as being produced in the distillation of coals and tars
are as follow light raw oils boiling at from 30 to 150 degrees centigrade; average
raw oils boiling at from 140 to 200 degrees centigrade, and heavy raw oils boiling at
from 200 to 300 degrees centigrade.
The mixtures constituting the liquid insecticide are produced in a boiler with a
double jacket, heated by steam or hot air, and provided with any rotary paddled
mixer, to effect a thorough mixing of the materials used.
The three principal formulæ are as follow:
(Oil of tar

2. For the manufacture of the same, the exclusive use of Petroleums, ethers and
essences of petroleum, and other residues of its distillation, as also the exclusive use
of the oils of schist, of naphtha, and of those produced during the distillation of
coals and tars, (light raw oils boiling at from 30 to 150 degrees centigrade; average
raw oils boiling at from 140 to 200 degrees centigrade, heavy raw oils, boiling at
from 200 to 300 degrees centigrade; the derivatives of the same, and by extension,
of all other raw or refined, solid or liquid carburets and hydrocarburets, such as
Benzols, Cresytols, Naphthols, and others belonging to the "Aromatic group," one
or more, mixed or combined with sulphur or a sulphuret, the foregoing having
never hitherto been employed for the purpose above mentioned.
