I, Gustave Gabillon, of No. 7, Rue Joquelet, Paris, in the Empire of ,5 France, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for “A Process to Prepare and Preserve Paper and Tissues with a Solution of Per¬ chloride of Iron, Intended for Stopping tee Bleeding of Wounds,” to be as follows :— The perchloride of iron possesses hemostatic properties in a high degree, 1 o and paper or tissue prepared with it being applied on wounds instantly stops the bleeding. It is indeed well known that perchloride of iron possesses the property of stopping the effusion of blood, but the solution which was to be used directly offered some difficulties, and could not be readily applied nor carried about.
