The disinfectant used Is 7act«te of silver and a very small amount produces remarkable re suits. The soap has been'' used In hospitals for general washing pur poses. for sterilizing Instruments (It does not contain any corrosive in gredients and hence can be safely used for this purpose), disinfecting ^clothes, rubber gloves, etc. There are several uses for the new soap In cos metics. The soap Is made by dlssolv Ing one part of the silver lactate In fifteen parts of water and then adding enough agaragar, or carrageon moos to make a Jelly. The mixture Is then added to the regular hoap batch, and the reaultlng product can be made Into solid, paste or liquid. In thr solid form It can be used for toilet or laundry purposes. In the paste form It Is usable as a dentifrice. In liquid form It may be used as a gargle and mouth wash.—Exchange. Beware the Ammunition.
