. Transactions of the sixth International congress on tuberculosis. Washington, September 28 to October 5, 1908. muth-vaselin paste, opening not sealed,nor drainage inserted. A sterile gauze dressing is placed over the incision,and a five-yard sterile gauze bandage is snugly put on and securely pinned,60 that the patient, usually a child, cannot displace and so infect it. Dress-ings are to be changed daily under perfect aseptic measures. Should theopening close and fluid reaccumulate, it may be reopened, the fluid, which isthen more serous, pressed out, but the injection need not be repeated.

Thismethod, properly carried out, will prevent secondary infection. Incision and drainage of a non-febrile tuberculous abscess was heretoforeconsidered a blunder, since it nearly always resulted in secondary our method tlie secondary infection is prevented mechanically, i. e.,the injected abscess cavity contracts, forcing a small quantity of the thickpaste from within through the small incision, thereby blocking the openingand preventing the entrance of infectious material. Four cases have thus. Fig. IS.—Second injection of bismuth paste into tuberculous ankle-joint. Case 15, see Fig. 17.
