The practice of surgery . silver, firmly applied, may prove sufficiently powerful;or some one of the other suitable destructives may be used, as bichlorideof mercury, dissolved in alcohol, 3i to Ji; equal parts of savine powder 522 GONORRHOEA IN THE FEMALE. Fig. 227. and burnt alum ; acetic acid, or a strong in- fusion of tormentilla officinalis.
