Ingredients
- two ounces of sulphur
- five drops of the oil of verbena to each ounce
- one allowed to enter
- one part of rectified oil of turpentine
- seven parts of benzine
Directions
Another way to fumigate rooms is with sulphur fumes. Take two ounces of sulphur and place it ina kettle, close every window, kindle the sulphur, and immediately leave the room; the door should be locked and no one allowed to enter it for eight hours, after which time the doors and windows may be thrown open.
Chlorine gas, bromine, or nitrous-acid fumigation should only be used by persons acquainted with such gases, as they are very poisonous.
Another very efficacious disinfectant (in washing furni- ture, books, clothing, etc., which have remained in the room of a person suffering from infectious diseases) is made by mixing one part of rectified oil of turpentine, seven parts of benzine, with the addition of five drops of the oil of verbena to each ounce. This forms the peroxide of hydrogen, a powerful oxidizing agent, similar to ozone.
Clothing may be disinfected by placing in a hot oven, or boiling it.
