I think it is of some use, although I do not consider
limewashing is essentially a disinfecting measure,
13958
I am speaking of it now as a disinfectant. Do you think
it is really worth the trouble and expense, which is
incurred as a disinfectant ↑
Perhaps not purely as a disinfectant.

You dont think it is worth the expense incurred by the
Government in limewashing ?

No.

Why do you advocate limewashing, under those conditions?
Well, limewash mixing with grease forms a sort of soap,
and secondly, the limewashing of walls and cubicles,
which get greasy, does away with a good deal of
organin matter, or converts it into a harmless substance
It destroys the pablulum to a certain extent of all
microbe organisms, and it also helps to get rid of a
good deal of dust, and cobwebs, in which for example
the organisms of tuberculosis and plague organisms
might find a resting plase. Organisms of tuberculosis
are very difficult to pill. Plague organims are very
sasy to kill. The plague organism is not destined to
live for any length of time outside the body, but the
tuberculosis baccilli exists for a long time, and I
think the limewashing does have some effect in
diminishing the incidence of phthisis.
Is there very much tuberculosis here ?
Oh yes, a great deal.

They sweep away the dust and oobwebs, before they put
on the limewash. They dont brush over them as you say.

I very much doubt if they scrape the walls, first.
Well, they sweep before putting on limewash.
I dont think they do it very well.
