New Sterilizer Adopted By State Health Board
As a means of protecting the health of the public, the next Kansas legislature will be asked to adopt a new method of encuring sterilization of soda water glasses and other drinking and eating utensils used in public places, which has been devised by the drug laboratory of the University. The sterilizer is a solution of sodium chloride, which can be used at
sola fountains and other public dispensaries with absolute safety, according to Prof. L. E. Sayre, dean of the school, of pharmacy and director of drug laboratory. The state board of health has already adopted the new solution.
Experiments which resulted in the new formula were undertaken on request of the state board of health, according to Dean Sayre. It is a part of the work of the drug laboratory to assist the state and county boards in health per se by administering a test of the solution, typhoid fever germs and germs which cause infection and various skin eruptions were subjected to its action. All the germs were killed immediately. The sterilization is accomplished by mixing the plasm or ointment in the bath after which it is rinsed in clean water.
"The worth of such a product," said Dean Sayre, "is clearly evident. Adoption of the new method by the state legislature is almost certain, since its adoption by the state board of health."
