D. Chancroids, buboes, and other suppurating surfaces; (H.G.P.).

Remarks

A careful trial of this substance in my venereal wards at Charity Hospital has satisfied me that it exerts a decided control over profuse suppuration. The bubo or other lesion under treatment should be thoroughly packed with the silica, and the dressing renewed once or twice a day. As soon as healthy action is established its use should be discontinued. The method of its preparation is given in the Formulary.
