and other valuable properties of Carbolic Acid

Your Lordship will perceive that Dr Murray recommends the purchase and early transmission here of 900 gallons of Calvert's Fluid Carbolic Acid for disinfecting purposes, and I think there is strong reason to suppose that its use will be exceptionally beneficial.

At certain seasons there are disagreeable exhalations from the soil here, the cause of which seems at times inexplicable, whilst on the whole there is much evidence to prove that it is highly dangerous to reside in the neighbourhood of any soil recently stirred, whether for building, agricultural, or other purposes.

There is, therefore, reason to think that however useful Carbolic Acid may be elsewhere, it will probably prove more than ordinarily beneficial here.

As I understand from Dr Murray that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company had refused to convey here a quantity of the pure Carbolic Acid for internal treatment, I have directed a small quantity to be sent out from France by the Messageries Imperiales for the use of the Civil Hospital, and I shall not fail to report the result of all experiments made with both kinds of the Acid.
