One of the products of the firm is "Afridol-Soap," which an advortisement appears in to-day's issue. This is a soap of much value as a disin fectant. Unlike corrosive Sub- limate, carbolic acid, etc., Afridol is not rendered inefficient by the alkaline constituents of soap. The soap completely destroys the gerins when need for disinfection of the hands (bofore operations, after gynecological examination, etc.). It does not corrode metallic Japan surgical instruments. The soap lather kills all pathological bac teria almost instantaneously and possesses besides very remarkable cleaning proportion. Of special importance is its use in skin di seases in the tropice and in re Straits moving the risk of contagion.
