Discussion of microbes and method
of murdering them filled the air at yes
terday's meeting of the Hoard of
Health. The occasion was the pres
entation of Dr. Alvarez report re
garding the fumigation experiments
carried on at the Mail deck. The sum
mary of the report va.s as follows:
Formalin had failed to kill the
germs; on tbe contrary they had thriv
ed upon the diet, but it was proven that
sulphur-exterminated them.

Dear Sir: I have the honor to sub- 'a
mit the report of the experiments made 'A
to determine the efllcacy of formalin a
and also of sulphur as disinfectants of A
merchandise. a
On the 13th instant, under the dlree-'A
tion of Dr. F. It. Day, the port physl-jA
eian, and Mr. C. H. Reynolds, the exec- 'A
utive officer of the Board of Health. I A
prepared six agar-agar Petri dishes a
and inoculated them as follows: Two A
with bacilli of bulonic plague, one .
with the bacilli of typhoid fever, one kk
with the bacilli of diphtheria, one with A
the bacilli of pseudo-diphtheria, and A
one with the bacillus prodlgiosus. !a
I prepared also twelve agar-agar test a
tubes and inoculated them with the a
pathogenic germs above mentioned a
and also with the bacillus of pneumo-jA
nia. I a
The Petri dishes and the test tubes. 1 a
containing the germs of the diseases a
mentioned, were placed all over the a
room used for fumigating freight at a
the Pacific Mail wharf. Wire netting A
was used to cover them as protection 'a
against rats and mice. I A

malin lamp discharged its vapor
through a small hole in the door for
nine hours and a half.
On the following day the doors were
opened and the Petri dishes and test
tubes gathered. It could be seen at a
glance that all the disease germs were
growing and. showed vigorous colonies.
The bacillus prodigiosus grew with
such rapidity that the greater part of
the Petri dish was covered with bright
red colonies.
Two days later numerous moulds
and ordinary germs found in the air
have grown in the dishes and test
tubes.
From the foregoing facts I draw the
following conclusions:
Formalin, as used in this experi
ment, is worthless as a disinfectant.
It is not capable of destroying the
germs of any disease nor of arresting
their development. It did not show
any deleterious influence over the ordi
nary germs that float in the air.
Owing to the higher temperature of
the disinfecting room at the Pacific
Mail wharf, the germs, while exposed
to the formaline vapor, grew faster
and more luxuriant than they grow in
the laboratory.
However, it would be erroneous to
conclude that formalin is worthless
as a disinfecting agent, because it
proved to be of no value In this experi
ment. Its reputation as a reliable dis
infectant is well established and our
experience with it merely shows that
the room at the Pacific Mall wharf Is
not adapted to its use.
Formalin to be efficient must be
used in a room that is not too large
for the size of the lamp. and. above all.
the room must be air-tight.
On the following day the 16th the
experiment was repeated, placing new
cultures of all the germs used the pre
vious day about the room at the Pa
cific Mail wharf, using the same pre
cautions against rats and mice.
Sulphur was used Instead of forma
lin for four and a half hours. On the
17th the doors were opened and the
Petri dishes and test tubes examined.
All the germs of the different dis
eases were found dead and no colonics
of moulds or other germs that float in
the air have appeared on the agar
agar. Several bright silver coins which Mr.
Reynolds had wrapped in many folds
of a cloth showed clearly the effects of
the sulphur fumigation.
We mav conclude that sulphur, as
