Remarks

The effects here attributed to lead were undoubtedly due in most instances to some of the salts of lead, but as the authorities failed failed to state the particular salt, I am forced to include them under the metal. The officinal preparations of lead are: Liquor Plumbi Subaceta-tis; Liquor Subacetatis Dilutus; Ceratum Plumbi Subacetatis;

Plumbi Carbonas; Unguentum Plumbi Carbonatis; Plumbi Nitras; Plumbi Lodidum: Unguentum Plumbi Iodidi; Plumbi Oxidum: Emplastrum Plumbi

Preparations of lead also occur in a number of additional officinal plasters.

Is said to act most happily in onychia maligna. The dead part of the nail should be cut away, and the powdered nitrate thickly sprinkled over the surface; after a few days the slough separates, leaving a clean surface, upon which the new nail usually forms. Sometimes more than one application is required, 18, 39.

The soluble lead salts are used in lotion to unhealthy and over-secreting and eczematous eruptions. When there is much inflammation, and when the surface is raw and weeps copiously, a lead lotion allays the inflammation and checks the discharge, and quells the itching, burning and tingling so often accompanying eczema. A lead lotion is often of great service in pruritus pudendi, 5, 170.
