Disinfecting solutions-
(a) Solution of corrosive sublimate, of one part in 1,000, with
the addition of ten parts of chloride of soda.
The solution should be coloured with aniline dye or indigo. It
should not be placed in metal vessels.
(b) A 5 per cent. solution of pure crystallized carbolic acid or
5 per cent. of crude commercial carbolic acid free from tar oils in a warm
solution of soft soap.
The carbolic solutions will be useful, more particularly for disin-
fecting articles, such as metals, instruments, &c., which can neither be
subjected to a temperature of 100° centigrade, nor placed in contact with
corrosive sublimate. They may also be used at ports not provided with
a disinfecting stove of the prescribed pattern.
