Remarks

I have retained the older rather than the modern pharmaceutical name, in order that the preparation here referred to shall not be confounded with Antimonium Sulphuratum (golden sulphuret of anti- mony), quite a different substance, also contained in the pharmacopoeia. 1 have used the black sulphuret of antimony to a very considerable extent in the treatment of diseases of the skin, - and am of opinion that the confidence reposed in it by the practitioners of the last and the early part of this century was not unfounded. It has appeared to me to very closely resemble arsenic in its effects, and to be of special service in affections characterized by epithelial proliferation and hypertrophy. As the drug is exceedingly insoluble (in water), it may be safely given in the doses prescribed by the older writers (see Formulary), or, as I personally prefer to use it, in the form of trituration with milk sugar. In this manner I employ it in about the same doses as would be appropriate for the administration of arsenious acid.
