Lilly-Formaldehyde-Lilly It is our great pleasure to first offer an invaluable and entirely original device for the rapid and economical production of Formaldehyde directly from wood alcohol. Several "Formaldehyde Lamps" have appeared both in this country and abroad, but have attained a limited use owing to their complicated construction, the necessity of expert attention and above all the small percentage of Formaldehyde produced from the wood alcohol consumed. Our Moffatt Formaldehyde Generator Is simplicity itself in its operation, producing above 83 per cent. of the theoretical quantity of Formaldehyde, thus solving a problem so earnestly studied and opening a grand field of usefulness for what may be justly termed the greatest disinfecting agent ever discovered. Send to us for a new pamphlet containing a history of Formaldehyde, an account of its chemical properties and its use as a disinfectant. Formaldehyde destroys absolutely all pathogenic bacteria in whatever condition. With the Moffatt Generator rooms may be easily disinfected without injuring their contents. Sutures, bandages and dressings of all kinds may be readily sterilized. Made of Solid Brass, nickel plated, has great capacity and is intended for disinfecting the ordinary sized room quickly; this being valuable where a large number of rooms are to be sterilized. Proper size for hospital wards, public halls, sleeping ears, etc. Full information may be secured from ELI LILLY & CO., = Indianapolis. A.B Rail geon VOL. III. DAILY EDITION.
