. A Complete practical work on the nature and treatment of venereal diseases, and other affections of the genito-urinary organs of the male and female ... , or the muriate of treatment generally is the same as that of an indurated chancre, and in somecases their excision by the scissors or scalpel is demanded, in consequence of theirsituation interfering with certain necessary functions of nature. There is one form of cutaneous syphilitic disease, that of mucous tubercles, orpapulae, for which Ricord prescribes the following local treatment, to which, he says,they yield with astonishing celerity, whether situated in the anus, vulva, groin, be-tween the toes, at the umbilicus, or axilla. While the general treatment is such asis required for a constitutional affection, the diseased parts are to be washed, if notindurated, with pure chloride of soda, or if indurated or irritated, with the chloridediluted, so as to produce a tingling without pain. After these washings, twice a day,the diseased parts are to be sprinkled with calomel. Eight or ten days of this treat-ment will cause enormous masses of these eruptions to disappear. s.
