Does Carbolosene mix well with water?

No, it doesnt mix with water. Jeyes Fluid le a substance which mixes well, even if it is stirred, even with only one swish of the hand. Now, this substance Carbologene (produces sample) dissolves with water, but it takes trouble. It is a liquid carbolic soap, and

entirely a different substance in the way it behaves, and probably in the way it is manufactured, from Jayes Fluid.

Would there be any record, in the Sanitary Board Office, şaying when Carbolosene was first used ?

13.473

I doubt it. Probably the accounts will shew, because money was paid to Watkins, instead of W. G. Humphreys and Company.

You dont know anything about the accounts ?

I presume the purchase of disinfectants is shewn 13.475-

under a separate heading in the accounts.

Perhaps.

To this day, I cannot tell you actually

what the substance, Carbolosene, is, in spite of the certificate of the analyst, and he cant tell you himself.

I want later on a copy of these two analyses, of 13.476 Carbologene and Jeyes Fluid.

You will notice that Jeyes Fluid is stated to contain 17.47% of sodium of carbonate, and Carbclosene takes 21.2 of the same substance.

Here it is, 21.2% of carbolic acid, and the other is 17.47%.

13477

It looks from that, that Carbolosene contaige more of a disinfecting body than Jeyes Fluid does, but it does

not at all follow that that is the case.
