Petroleum often ap-pears to kill lice within a minute, and does kill them almostinvariably within two or three minutes. The ova sometimessurvive for a longer period. Some laboratory experiments sinceperformed, by Nuttalll seem to show that nits are sometimesnot killed with petroleum in twenty minutes. In this connec-tion the chemical composition of the petroleum must be con-sidered. The petroleum largely used in Serbia for disinfesl at ionwas brought from the United States. Obviously a disinfestantmay be shown by occasional laboratory experiments not todestroy all of the ova or lice under the conditions of the experi-ment, and yet it may be a disinfestant of considerable practicalvalue.
