When the skin is as yet unbroken, Hugo Kuhl advises the following:
Carbolized water. .. 4 drachms

acid........... 15 parts
Mix. Apply to the broken skin occasionally.

Dissolve the camphor in the oil and the iodine in the least possible amount of alcohol. Melt the paraffine and add the mixed solutions. When homogeneous pour into suitable molds.
