M. 3 ss at one injection. The rules for its use are: 1. Make the puncture subcutaneously in the sound skin, by the side of the tumor.

2. Draw off no more serum than the quantity of fluid to be injected.

3. Apply pressure during the operation so that none of the solution enters the spinal canal.

4. If symptoms of irritation appear, draw off all the contents of the sack, and replace them with distilled water.

After the operation the patient should lie on its side, and if there is much heat, warm evaporating lotions to the part are required. As soon as the tumor becomes flaccid it should be covered with collodion, or supported by pressure. The injection should be repeated as often as necessary, care being taken that previous irritation has completely subsided. - Brainard.
