If this is inadvisable, the organisms may be attacked by strong antiseptics, such as pure carbolic acid. Moist dressings favour the removal of bacteria by promoting the escape of the inflammatory exudate, in which they are washed out.
"They have ordained for us a time to sing, A time to love, a time wherein to tire Of all spent songs and kisses; caroling Such elegies as buried dreams require, Love now departs, and leaves us shivering Beside the embers of a burned-out fire." PAUL VANDERHOFFEN. Egeria Answers. The doctor's waiting-room smelt strongly of antiseptics.
The great room, once so familiar, now so strange, the nurses in their white uniforms, moving silently, one standing by the bed, watch in hand Major Mannering on the farther side, motionless the smell of antiseptics, the table by the bed with all its paraphernalia of bandages, cups, glasses, medicine bottles the stillness of brooding death which held it all seemed to dash from her any last, blind, unreasonable hope that she might have cherished.
Through awkwardness, a student of anatomy pricks himself with his scalpel in the course of his work; or else, by inadvertence, he has an insignificant scratch on his hand.

Rae Melzer could restrain herself no longer.
Disinfectants. Disinfectants, Antiseptics, and Deodorants. The word disinfectant is synonymous with the term bactericide or germicide. A disinfectant is a substance which destroys infectious material. An antiseptic is an agent which may hinder the growth, but does not destroy the vitality, of bacteria.
In the Middle Ages, before people knew much about sanitary science and antiseptics and the like, a great war quickly translated itself into a great pestilence.
A frequent cleaning and disinfecting of the poultry house and surroundings, avoiding the feeding of spoiled feed, or allowing the drinking fountains and feeding places to become filthy, are effective preventive measures. Sick birds should be either isolated and quarantined, or destroyed. Antiseptics may be given with the feed and drinking water.
He held himself slightly aloof with the class consciousness of the West Pointer. Nearby stood a lanky surgeon of the volunteers discussing antiseptics with Dr. Jones. Leidesdorff was everywhere, pathetically eager to please, an ecstatic, perspiring figure, making innumerable inquiries as to the comfort of his guests.
