It is valuable for joint tuberculosis, although very numer-ous brief applications are necessary. It is beneficial for thecitis, areas of sup- Repair 12 ^ puration after incision, and chilblains. Waterhouse suggests its use to preventsuppuration in a crushed Hmb. The treatment is contra-indicated in spreadinginflammation—for instance, erysipelas. Bier claims that arterial hyperemia induced by hot air is particularlyuseful in chronic inflammation, as it favors the absorption of exudates and ofadhesions. It will hasten the separation of sequestra. Venous hyperemiaproduced by the
