Liquid soaps offer immunization aid and disinfectant value
In a meeting of Russian Pharmacological Society, Herr Laidemann promotes liquid soaps as better for inoculation and free from animal fats. He prescribes a preparation using caustic potash, water, olive oil, and alcohol with thorough mixing and filtration. He notes carbolic acid in potash soap loses caustic poisons while enhancing disinfection. The Berlin Sanitary Commission recommends potash soap in 10,000 parts water to prevent splenic fever bacteria, with 15 parts per 10,000 seen as an effective disinfectant.
