Abstract: Short term control of ammonia volatilization from animal manures is provided by surface treatment with aluminum sulfate. The aluminum sulfate may be applied to manure or manure receiving surfaces in an animal rearing facility in solid or liquid form. The control of atmospheric ammonia levels in animal rearing facilities to preferably less than about 25 ppm ammonia can be achieved by surface treatment employing amounts of alum as low as 0.5% by weight alum based on manure present.

Abstract: Three murine monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies which functionally mimic GD2 are described. These antibodies are useful in compositions for inducing a CD4 T cell response to cancers characterized by high density GD2 expression and in the diagnosis of high density GD2 expression.

Abstract: The invention provides a prepackaged dressing including dry particulate solids for forming a pourable, water-based natural or synthetic hydrocolloidal polyemeric gel to dress wounds. The gel contains a biologically active constituent. Liquid and dry, solid particulate components are separate and are mixed just before use. One dry constituent is the hydrocolloid which is contained in a compartment of a sealed container separate from moisture. After mixing with water, the dry hydrocolloid does not become fully hydrated immediately. The liquid component (water) provides a fluid consistency initially. At this stage, the admixture is sufficiently fluid in consistency to allow it to be poured or spread into a wound. Following application to the wound, the hydrated hydrocolloidal dispersion begins to solidify to form a solid, self-supporting flexible dressing structure consisting primarily of water, the hydrocolloid, as well as the biologically active constituent, e.g.

Abstract: A substance produced from a combination of acid based ingredients and a mole attracting herb. Placement of the substance into a mole tunnel attracts the mole and upon contact with the substance becomes repelled by the acid taste.

Abstract: A composition and method are described for the treatment of allergic contact dermatitis, such as poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. The composition includes linseed oil, an astringent such as alum powder, a starch such as cornstarch, an essential oil such as eucalyptus oil, and a citrus oil such as orange oil. The method includes applying the treatment composition to an affected area of skin, preferably once to twice per day.

Abstract: A slow-dissolving sanitizing and clarifying puck for use in water such as swimming pool water preferably includes about 63% to about 80% trichloro-s-triazinetrione, about 4% to about 12% sodium tetraborate, about 10% to about 22% aluminum sulfate, and about 1% to 5% glycoluril.

Abstract: A method for treating poultry litter which inhibits ammonia volatilization and reduces soluble phophorus levels in the litter. The method comprises the addition of alum to litter in an amount sufficient to maintain the litter pH at values low enough to inhibit ammonia volatilization. The addition of alum, iron or calcium compounds to litter also effectively precipitates soluble phosphorus in litter, thereby reducing the amount of soluble phosphorus runoff from fields receiving litter.

Abstract: A tube container for dispensing solid crystal deodorant including a cylindrical tube for housing the solid crystal deodorant having an open end and a closed end. The closed end has an aperture for rotatably securing a threaded sleeve which is rigidly connected to a rotatable cylindrical base. A platform member for supporting and vertically displacing the crystal deodorant is contained in the cylindrical tube. The platform member is comprised of a disk and a threaded stem which extends downward from the disk portion of the platform member. The platform member also has a frictional projection extending upward from the disk which fits tightly into a hole in the bottom of the crystal deodorant. The cylindrical tube has an elongated slot disposed on its inside surface which engages with a notch disposed on the periphery of the disk of the platform member to prevent rotatational movement of the platform member. The cylindrical tube is closed at its open end by a cap.

Abstract: The hardening agent contains a composition comprised of tannic acid and potassium aluminium sulfate in a ratio of tannic acid to potassium aluminium sulfate ranging from 10 to 1 to 1 to 50 and a stabilizing agent extracted from crude drugs of plants containing a phenol, flavon, flavonoid, catechin or a polycarboxylic acid.

Abstract: A powdered body deodorant composition containing officinal alum, acacia gum, an inert powder and zinc oxide, and intended to be applied twice daily for four days. Said composition reduces excess sweating and prevents foot odour for several years or even permanently.

Abstract: Solution comprising a mixture of aluminum acetate topical solution and glycerin useful as a skin moisturizer and/or a food particulate repellant for preventing chewed food particles from sticking to the teeth. When combined with a flavoring agent, the solution of aluminum acetate topical solution and glycerin is also effective as a saliva substitute for relieving the symptoms of xerostomia or "dry mouth syndrome.

Abstract: A cosmetic assembly includes a stick of alum (1) deodorant, that is formed with a transverse passage (3) in which is placed a fixing pin made of an elastic material, and a casing in which the stick is placed. The fixing pin (4) is adapted to engage the inside wall of the casing (2) so as to fix the stick of alum within the casing by friction. The cosmetic assembly of the present invention enables sticks of alum of varying sizes to be used with standard type casings.

Abstract: A liquid crystal deodorant is produced by dissolving a powdered crystalline double sulfate of aluminum (alum) in a saturated solution of water, or a combination of water and alcohol, preferably denatured ethanol. The deodorant then is applied in any suitable fashion to provide odor control, particularly for underarm and foot odor control purposes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel oil-in-water type cream containing aluminum potassium sulfate, which is useful for the treatment of varicosity. The composition of the invention contains 1 to 15% by weight of pharmaceutically acceptable lipid-type ointment base, 0 to 10% by weight of aluminum potassium sulfate dissolved in water, 10 to 80% by weight of propylene glycol and 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and/or cetyltrimethylammonium chloride as emulsifying agent.

Abstract: An embalming fluid. A chemical composition comprising chemicals that are, generally, non-hazardous to humans in the concentrations used. Also, specimens preserved in the composition look and feel more life-like than specimens preserved in formaldehyde based compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic compositions for the treatment of phlebectasiae, particularly haemorrhoids and phlebectasiae mainly occurring on the lower limbs optionally accompanied with phlebitis, as well as for relieving the phlebalgia thereby induced, with comprises potassium aluminum sulfate and/or one or more hydrates thereof in admixture with one or more cosemtically acceptable carriers, auxiliary and optionally odorizing materials commonly used in the preparation of cosmetics.The compositions according to the invention preferably contain potassium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate in an amount of 10 to 90% by weight, most preferably 40 to 70% by weight and are preferably formulated to ointments, creams, lotions or pastes.
