Rooms at 1,392 houses were disinfected, compared with 842, 910,
and 987 in the three preceding years. The disinfecting apparatus
was used 1,325 times for 14,116 articles.
345 books from the Free Libraries were disinfected.
The sum of £2 11s. 6d. was received for disinfection of rooms
in special cases on request of the occupier.
Disinfectants are supplied by the Department for disinfecting
infected soiled linen, infected stools, sputa in phthisis, and for
personal use in infectious disease. They are dispensed at the
Maxey Road Offices; the Sun Street Mortuary (64 persons were
supplied last rear); 18 Barge House Road, North Woolwich; and
the Eltham Office, 112 High Street. The cost of disinfectants
used by the department in 1907 was £28 18s. 6d.
The disinfectants used were Jeyes' Soap, Corrosive Sublimate,
Formalin Tablets (for fumigation); Formaldehyde (for spraying
and disinfecting books and use in the Mortuary); Cyllin (for sputa
in phthisis); Permanganate of Potash; Coarse Carbolic (for dustpails)
; and Chloride of Lime (for offal-tins, etc.).
