Fumigating Perfumes

These are used for quickly putting down bad odors in the sick room, etc. They are decidedly antiseptic, and fulfill their
purpose admirably.

1. Select good white blotting paper, and cut each large sheet length wise into 3 equal pieces. Make a solution of 1
ounce of potassium nitrate in 12 ounces of boiling water; place this solution in a large plate, and draw each strip
of paper over the solution so as to saturate it. Then dry by hanging up. The dried paper is to be saturated in a similar
 manner with either of the following solutions:

(1). Siam benzion…....……….         1 ounce
Storax……………....………....         3 drachms
