IDEAL ANTI-SEPTIC
FRENCH PHYSICIAN'S DISCOVERY. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright) PARIS, August 5. Doctor Alexis Carrell, of the Rockefeller Institute, and Mr Henry Dakin, chemist, have discovered an ideal antiseptic, consisting of hydrochloride of lime with the addition of boric acid as a preservative, and carbonate of lime, to counteract acidity.
Professor Landouzy, lecturing at the Academy of Sciences, said that, in a series of experiment at the Compeigne hospital, it was applied to the most frightful wounds. Within eight day§> the aspect was modified in a way quite unknown under old antiseptics. If applied in time infection from wounds may be considered impossible.
