APPENDIX N (2).
Disinfectants.
Fifty-eight casks of Sanitas Powder, making up
into 4,060 packets, have been distributed from the Public
Health Department.
One thousand two hundred and eighty pint bottles
of Sanitas Fluid, and 480 pint tins of Izal Fluid have
also been distributed. These numbers continue the
increase shown last year above previous years, due
doubtless to persons notified under the Public Health
(Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1912, taking full advantage
of the facilities provided for them.
Three-quarters of a ton of sulphur candles were
used in the disinfection of rooms throughout the year.
Three gallons of Formalin Solution (40%) have been
used in spraying the walls of rooms, and seven pounds
of Formalin Tablets have been used for fumigating
articles in the Formalin Chamber.
Seventeen gallons of Creocide were also used for
disinfecting purposes.
