When a solution of chlorine in water is used as a germicide the chemical reactions that occur differ materially from those of hypochlorite solutions.
I'll get you a germicide at the English apothecary's.
Its advantages are, that it is nearly ten times as powerful a germicide as carbolic acid, or even corrosive sublimate, so that it may be used in a solution so weak as to be practically non-poisonous to human beings.
