APPENDIX N (2).
During 1907, with the consent of the Public Health Committee,
the experiment of buying fluid disinfectants in bulk and bottling and
labelling in the department, was tried. The services of the disinfector
on duty distributing disinfectants to applicants daily from
9 a.m. to 10 a.m. were utilized, he having ample time then to fill
and label the bottles and tin flasks.
