Give attention to the diet, which should be simple but nourishing. fats especially to be avoided.1

ADENITIS
   Treat specific cause if it exists. Apply iodine ointment or tincture iodine, later Glyccroplasma or ichthyol ointment. When suppuration takes place, treat as an abscess.1

CHILBLAINS
   Useful remedies are; ointment of iodine, half strength; ointment of ichthyol, 20%, combined perhaps with tannin or resorcin or balsam Peru; tincture capsicum; carbolated ointment; resin cerate.1

ECZEMA

Later, use more stimulating remedies—ointments of tar, resorcin, green soap, ichthyol, salicylic acid or oil of cade.1

ERYSIPELAS
   Antipyretic remedies as indicated; tincture ferric chloride, 30minims four times a day, internally; locally Iodosyl ointmen ichthyol ora combination of ichthyol with resorcin; applications ol solutions of picric acid (3 grs. to the fl. oz.) or, as recommended by Higginbottom, silver nitrate (120 grs. to the fl. oz.).

FELON
   In forming stage, apply a solution of silver nitrate (80 grs to fl. oz.), citrine ointment or compound solution of iodine to abort; Glyceroplas ma, ichthyol ointment or a poultice made of bread crumb with solu tion lead subacetate. Anod ynes and local anesthetics are often necessary.1

GANGRENE
   Bromine is the most e lcient escharotic; chromic acid and nitric acid are often used. Carbolic acid applied in full strength, followed by alcohol to limit its action, with subsequent dressing with Iodosyl has given excellent results. For cleansing, hydrogen peroxide is eflicient. Ichthyol and boric acid may be used in dressing, but Iodosyl is better. Internally guaiacol and creosote to guard against p yemia.1

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.1

PSORIASIS
   Internally give arsenic persistently, with iodides and other altera tives where these seem to be indicated. Extract of thyroid zland has been used with benefit. Locally, ointments of pyrogallic or salicylic acid, Iodosyl, ichthyol, chrysarobin, resorcin. ammoniated mercury, calomel.1
