II. To preserve meat to be used as food, Wickersheimer has patented the following process: A solution 36 parts of potash, 15 parts of common salt, and 60 parts of alum in 3000 parts of water, is heated to 120 degrees F., then mixed with another solution of 9 parts of salicylic acid in 45 parts of methyl alcohol to which have been added 250 parts of glycerine. The animal to be preserved is injected with this fluid before it is opened. For smaller animals 100 parts of the fluid are used for every 1000 parts of dead weight, while larger animals require less. In small animals, as fish, fowl, cats etc., the fluid is injected before they are killed directly into the heart with a syringe provided with a sharp point, while in large animals it is injected after they are killed into one of the cervical arteries.
