New Meat Preserving Method.

Two Frenchmen, Revel and Campagne, have patented a novel process for preserving meat, doing entirely away with smoking and pickling. It consists in merely dipping the fresh meat into a strong solution of potassium iodide for ten minutes and then hanging up to dry. For a number of days the meat remains perfectly fresh and after that it begins to dry, forming a hard crust, while the inner portions remain fresh indefinitely,.so it is claimed.
