Chlorine gas is first to be purified by being passed through water in several successive vessels, then by means of tubes is transmitted into a gas holder ; 5 and lastly, by pressure and agitation, in contact with distilled water contained in a condenser, is, through the medium of an exhausting and condensing pump, made to combine with the water, and form the above-named lotion in a state of concentration. It is scarcely necessary to observe, that all the above vessels, including the tubes, should be composed of glass, or such other 10 materials as are not acted upon chemically by chlorine. The lotion so prepared is to be bottled off, and is to be applied in the following manner:— First, let the parts, properly denuded, be thoroughly washed with soap and water; then let the full contents of a bottle be poured upon them, and the re-application of the lotion by means of linen rag dabbed on the whole of 15 their surface be continued for one or two minutes, or until a tingling sensation is experienced.
