-
A solution of chloride of zinc, first used by Sir William Burnett for preserving timber, canvass, &c., from dry rot, mildew, &c., and afterwards as an antibromic and antiseptic, especially in the case of dead bodies. The Dublin Pharmacopoeia has a Zinci Chlo'ridi Liquor, Solution of Chloride of Zinc, which is not near so strong as Sir William's preparation.
