SNIFF KIT
Approved and Recommended by the Office
of Civilian Defense and the Chemical Warfare Service of The U.S.
Army
The Sniff Kit is designed to provide an easy and safe method
of identifying the five principal gases used in chemical warfare.
The case is made of wood and pressboard, covered with serviceable
quality of saddle tan fabric. It contains five bottles with ground
glass stoppers, charged with the following contents:
- An imitation of Mustard Gas (HS)
- An imitation of Phosgene Gas (CG)
- An imitation of Chlorpicrin (PS)
- An imitation of Lewisite (MI) or (M-1)
- An imitation of Tear Gas (CN)
Each bottle is labeled with simple information describing the physiological
effect of the active gas; first aid steps for treating victims;
field neutralization methods; the U.S. Army symbols, and the popular
names to aid in memorizing them.
Out of sixteen possible variants, the Office of Civilian Defense
and Chemical Warfare Service have selected these five as being basic
representatives for civilian training in recognizing and counteracting
actual gases used in chemical warfare.
The life of each of these imitations is guaranteed for not less
than four months of normal use, provided the bottles are kept tightly
closed when not in use.
Price: $5.00 each prepaid to any point in the U.S.A Write directly
to the Northam Warren Corporation, Stamford, Connecticut for descriptive
literature and information concerning replacing of simulated gases
at a nominal cost.
