This Invention consists in the production of a mixture or mixtures, or a com-
bination or combinations made by impregnating to saturation or to any less degree
with sulphurous acid gas a solution or solutions of any known chloride, sulphate,
nitrate, or acetate of zinc, iron, manganese, aluminum, or copper, or a mixture or
mixtures of these salts in water, glycerin, spirit of wine, wood spirit, methylated
spirit, or fousel oil, or in a mixture or mixtures of these liquids.
The Invention further consists in the production of a mixture or mixtures, or a
combination or combinations made by impregnating to saturation or to any less
