FORfIALDEHYDE.
A DISINFECTANT.
Noil poisonous to man, non injurious to the most delicate
fabrics, metals or colors. The highest authorities state that
FORMALDEHYDE unites with the products of decom
position, forming new substances that are odorless and in
many cases antiseptic and which are therefore fatal to the
food of bacteria as well as to the bacteria themselves.
We have in stock a generator that produces gaseous for
maldehyde copiously and economically, and which is simple
to operate, requiring but a match to start it. and which used
according to directions insures absolute disinfection.
These generators we sell outright or rent at a reasonable
rate. We have also the ordinary disinfectants such as
