In absence of local cause, general Pruritus calls for tonic treat ment, particularly for use of arsenic. Give attention to stomach, bowels and kidneys.' The local remedies that give most relief are lotions of borax or of sodium bicarbonate or hyposulphite to which carbolic acid may be advantageously added (one or two drachms to the pint). Menthol. resorcin, thymol. boric acid and ichthyol are also useful. Alkal Antiseptine, diluted with from four to eight parts of water is an excellent remedy.2
