(2) Squeezing through rollers. (3) Immersion in warm formaldehyde solution. (4) Squeezing through rollers. (5) Drying in current of hot air. (6) Action of formaldehyde left in wool allowed to continue, i.e., formaldehyde not destroyed by addition of ammonia solution. Objects.—It had been observed that damage test materials, treated and dried without first washing out the formaldehyde, retained some of this substance for many weeks, and that it gave off an odour of formaldehyde during long periods. ‘The object of experiments of» eee was to ascertain if disinfection continues after the actual process has been completed y drying.
