We, Isaac Shimwell McDougall and James Thomas McDougall, both of 10 Mark Lane in the City of London, Manufacturing Chemists do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— Hitherto in the preparation of fumigants the active principles have generallv 5 been absorbed into fibrous materials, such as paper or cellulose, or have been held together by the addition of gums or resins. We find it to be an improvement to use meals, flours or powders possessing binding properties obtained from cereals or other natural growths as binding materials in the production of fumigants and this is what we claim as our invention. 10 Dated this 24th day of June 1893.
