This
substance,
which
is
well
known
for
its
bleaching
properties
is
a
useful
disinfectant.
It
will
neutralise
the
foul
smell
arising
from
drains,
closets,
&c.,
when
mixed
with
water
and
thrown
down
the
pipes
whence
the
smell
proceeds.
A
little
dissolved
in
a
bucket
of
water,
when
used
in
scrubbing
rooms
and
passages,
will
purify
them
and
render
them
wholesome,
and
also
whiten
the
boards.
It
is
sold
by
oilmen
&c.,
at
3d.
or
4d.
per
lb.--a
much
lower
rate
than
that
at
which
it
is
sold
by
chemists.
1782.
Carbolic
Powder
and
Fluid.
Carbolic
acid
in
a
fluid
state
is
a
highly
concentrated
disinfectant,
and
a
strong
irritant
poison.
Care
should
be
taken
in
its
use
and
storage,
as
many
lives
have
been
lost
through
taking
carbolic
acid
under
the
impression
that
it
was
some
medicine
or
beverage.
It
is
far
safer
when
in
the
form
of
powder
which
has
been
impregnated
with
the
acid.
The
powder
has
a
pink
colour,
is
recommended
by
the
Government,
and
is
sold
at
the
rate
of
2d.
per
pound
by
oilmen,
&c.
1783.
Domestic
Hints
(Sheep
Near
Sea).
Why
is
the
flesh
of
sheep
that
are
fed
near
the
sea
more
nutritious
than
that
of
others?
Because
the
saline
particles
(sea
salt)
which
they
find
with
their
green
food
give
purity
to
their
blood
and
flesh.
1784.
Domestic
Hints
(Marbled
Fat
in
Meat).
Why
does
the
marbled
appearance
of
fat
in
meat
indicate
that
it
is
young
and
tender?
Because
in
young
animals
fat
is
dispersed
through
the
muscles,
but
in
old
animals
it
is
laid
in
masses
on
the
outside
of
the
flesh.
