From these experiments necessarily imperfect, although occupying a considerable period of time and attention, we may deduce that carbolic acid still holds its place as the best agent for the rapid destruction of micro-organisms and that thymol, salicylic acid and the fluid called Listerine prepared by Lambert & Co., of St. Louis are germicidis of a trustworthy character. Any agent which is as safe as the latter and as promptly active as the former would be a valuable addition to the surgeon’s armentariun. * Preparations recommended l>y Mr. Paul Hums in London Medical Record.
