It is true, that certain fumigations mn rhetnically destroy the power of contagious effluvia to produce their sped :1c di.-ease, but it still leaves the air impure and unlit for the purposes of breathing. Because of the effect in particular cases, it has been stated that such chemical mixtures are pusitively hencficial to the atmosphere renernlly, as in the vicinity of chemical walks or within the influ ence of the vapours issuing from such places; hut the fact is to the contrary; they adulterate fresh air to the injury of animal ami rentable life, and of almost every kind of property. The breathing of animals and vegetables is connected in a healthy relation, with simple atmospheric air only ; and every mixture is foreign to that function and more or less pernicious. The best ingredients for fumigations where they are necessary, are the muriatic acid gas, made by mixing a little common salt with oil of vitro!, and applying heat; or chloride, ens produced from the some materials, with the addition of a little manganese The chloride solution, so much spoken of as disinfecting agents, do not act upon the air already polluted, so r;:uch as upon the source of the mischief, to prevent a further generation of effluvia.
