PREVENTION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES. With reference to the above important question we cull the following from the Whitehall Review (London) of Aoril, 1907: “There is a more intimate connection between the rise and fall of the death rate and the proper use of efficient disinfectants than many arc aware of. Many and various are the disinfectants before the public; and amongst the multiplicity of these preparations one is -apt to find a difficulty in choosing the most reliable. The question after all is one of selection, and on this point we propose to make a few remarks. “We have latey been testing and obtaining the opinion of experts upon the value of ‘Kerch sent out by Messrs Quibell Bros., Limited, of Newark—a firm, we may remark, which has been established nearly a century and whose reputation as manufacturing chemists, particularly in connection with disinfectants. sheep dips, etc., extends far beyond the domain of this country. Tlie claims set forth for ‘Kerch are briefly as follows-.—That it is free from carbolic or cresvlic acids; is lion-pois-onous and non-irritant; mixes with water forming a white emulsion; is an excellent cleanser., as it contains soap; is a disinfectant of high germicidal qualities, and when compared with carbolic acid on the typhoid organism is found to he 14 times more powerful; is a pleasant preparation to use for the both, and allays any skin irritation ; its odour, unlike carbolic acid, is not objectionable in the sick room, and does not cause headache and naiisoa; finally, that it has been reported upon by the leading experts or the day, including Professor Hewlett, of King’s College. London; l>r. W. G. Savage, medical officer of health at Colchester, and others.” , . , . , Some teste, detailed in the Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, clearly demonstrates-that “Korol, in the absence and presence of organic matter, lias the- feajjjlt.rcmarnably high o-ermicidal power*” jßtese are very high claims put forwaiWiwl behalf of "Iverol,” which, if 6ulffio»tintetl, would in our opinion, settle -Once tor all the “vexatn quaestio” which is the btst disinfectant for thmpublic.
