DISINFECTION.
Disinfection of Rooms.—2,202 rooms were disinfected, as contrasted
with 3,249 in 1914. For this purpose formaldehyde, either in a gaseous form
or in solution, is usually employed, although it is sometimes augmented by
sulphor dioxide, when it is necessary to kill vermin, for which purpose it has
been found most effective.
