    Provisional Specification. Lindemanris Impts. in Preserving Food, Corpses, Textile Tissues. For the first purpose, the animal is suddenly killed by felling, thoroughly bled, and immediately injected with a saturated solution of boric acid in cold water, finally skinned and gutted. The carcase is then placed into a cask, and covered over with boric acid in powder. This last treatment is quite sufficient with meat in pieces. 5 For the second purpose, the corpse is injected with a saturated solution of boric acid in benzol, and coloured by some carmin. For the third purpose, the yam or the woven tissue is plunged into a saturated solution of boric acid in magnesium sulphate, or into a size containing the hundredth part of zinc borate. 10 For the fourth purpose, the pure boric acid is dissolved in water or spirits, and given in doses according to the malady and the age and sexe of the treated person.
