EUCALYPTUS. 401

disenfectant and germicide than euthymol, and combines the
properties of euthymol with the germicidal power of form-
aldehyde, and is very efficient as a deodorant. It is non-toxic,
non-irritant, and does not stain. It quickly removes putrid odors
from decomposing animal and vegetable matter, combining with
sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia bases generally to form in-
odorous compounds. It removes the odor of perspiration, and
destroys the disagreeable smell of the feet, for which it is used in
a diluted form. It disenfects instruments and hands, and is use-
ful as a prophylactic in infectious diseases. It is of great value
as a mouth wash to remove offensive breath, in the proportion of
half a teaspoonful of euformal to a tumblerful of water used as
a gargle. It also proves useful in bites and stings of insects.
