page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOHN
JAMES WATT, of Stracy Street, Stepney, in the County of Middlesex, Surgeon,
send greeting.
WHEREAS His present most Excellent Majesty King George the Fourth
did, by His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing
date at Westminster, the Twenty-ninth day of April, One thousand eight
hundred and twenty-eight, in the ninth year of His reign, give and grant
unto me, the said John James Watt, my exors, admors, and assigns, His
especial licence that I, the said John James Watt, my exors, admors, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said John James Watt, my exors, adñors, or
assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and
at all times during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of
Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Discovery, "THAT BY THE APPLICATION OF A CERTAIN
CHEMICAL AGENT ANIMAL POISON MAY BE DESTROYED, AND THE DISEASE CONSEQUENT
THEREON EFFECTUALLY PREVENTED;" in which said Letters Patent there is
contained a proviso obliging me, the said John James Watt, by an instrument
in writing under my hand and seal, particularly to describe and ascertain the
nature of my said Discovery, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
and to cause the same to be enrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery
within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the
said in part recited Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
John James Watt, do declare that my Discovery consists in the application

page_text: of chlorine (either in the state of gas, or in combination with water, forming a
lotion in a state of concentration, to the genital organs of both sexes,) after
impure sexual intercourse.
Chlorine gas is first to be purified by being passed through water in several
successive vessels, then by means of tubes is transmitted into a gas holder;
and lastly, by pressure and agitation, in contact with distilled water contained
in a condenser, is, through the medium of an exhausting and condensing pump,
made to combine with the water, and form the above-named lotion in a state
of concentration. It is scarcely necessary to observe, that all the above
vessels, including the tubes, should be composed of glass, or such other
materials as are not acted upon chemically by chlorine. The lotion so
prepared is to be bottled off, and is to be applied in the following manner :—
First, let the parts, properly denuded, be thoroughly washed with soap and
water; then let the full contents of a bottle be poured upon them, and the
re-application of the lotion by means of linen rag dabbed on the whole of
their surface be continued for one or two minutes, or until a tingling sensation
is experienced.
In witness whereof, I, the said John James Watt, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight.
