A NEW DEODORISER.
Dr Goolden, in a recent paper in the ' Lancet,' recommends nitrate of lead as a most effective deodoriser. Bad smells from whatever cause are removed as if by magic by its use, A pound of the material, costing less than a shilling, and in combination with common salt, furnishes sufficient to make nearly 400 gallons of fluid, so that it is also remarkably cheap. To prepare for use, take for ordinary purposes half a drachm of nitrate of lead, dissolve it in a pint or more of boiling water, dissolve about two drachms - of common salt in a pail or bucket of water, pour the two solutions together and allow the sediment to settle. A cloth dipped in this liquid and hung up will sweeten a foetid atmosphere immediately. The value of such a discovery for many purposes, medical as well as domestic, is incalculable.
