Retardation of the putrefactive process has been noticed in bodies some years under water.
2
The treated samples, however, had no smell originally, and remain sweet, without putrefactive change.
3
Their activity may be productive of a poison, or putrefactive alkaloid, which is absorbed.
4
Saccharine is a mineral substance, a fossilised product of putrefactive action in the coal age.
5
A putrefactive fermentation is thus set up which softens the gummy substance holding the fibres together.
6
He must, I submit, bow to the conclusion that the dust-particles are the cause of putrefactive life.
7
Lactic acid, the acid of sour milk, constitutes a medium in which putrefactive germs do not thrive.

15
Ammonia, which is one of the products of putrefactive de- composition, contains no oxygen, and nitrites, another factor, contains less oxygen than nitrates.
16
But it is well to remember that in nature putrefactive ferments must go on to an extent rarely imitated or followed in the laboratory.
