Hi all

I found this interesting:

Harrison used cultures which he identified as Bacillus alvei in performing
a number of laboratory experiments bearing directly upon
the treatment of foul brood. His object was to determine the antiseptic
value of various drugs for this species. The results obtained
by this method of testing the antiseptic value were reported for weak
solutions of salicylic acid, camphor, thymol, carbolic acid and tar,
creolin, eucalyptus, beta naphthol, naphthalene, and formic acid.
