Surgical Treatment Of Anasarca

5024

The legs having been well oiled and a mackintosh sheet placed under them, about twenty to thirty punctures are rapidly made in their sides with a stout needle, some sponges which have been well wrung out in a saturated watery solution of salicylic acid, are now placed against the punctures so as to absorb the fluid as it transudes; these sponges, as they become filled, are squeezed out, and again passed through a solution of salicylic acid before being replaced against the patient's skin.
