    o Baker <${ Friend's Improvements in Treating Excrementitious (Sf Sewage Matters. or radial division or compartment k adapted to receive the desired quantity of the deodorizing matter, and then by a lever or other \neans this division or compartment k may be caused to turn upon its axis kl to deliver its quantity of matter, when the segmental plate k2 will close the aperture from the receiver, and when the compartment k has delivered its quantity, a spring orother means 5 may cause that compartment to return into position to receive a fresh supply. These means of obtaining regulated quantities of deodorizing matters from receivers, and throwing them on to the deposit, are also applicable when pans somewhat similar to those of the ordinary construction are used, having valves for the discharge of the combined matters in lieu of the ordinary traps now 10 employed. The distribution of such deodorizing matter may be, if desired, regulated by a spring or balance valve attached to the seat or to the closet door, or otherwise, to effect a self-acting system of deodorizing. In dealing with sunk cesspools we raise the deodorized manure from the same by the use of a spiral pump or other apparatus which may be applied to 15 the manure in the cesspool through the hole in the seat or other suitable opening, so that such manure may be drawn up into boxes or other suitable receivers to be conveyed to the manure waggon or other receiver. Having thus described the nature of the said Invention, and means which we adopt in carrying the same into effect, we would have it understood 20 that we do not confine ourselves to the precise details shewn and described, as these may be varied. In witness whereof, we, the said Thomas Henry Baker and George Friend, have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and 25« sixty-four.
