. Pelvic inflammation in women. cture of iodin, or a single ap-plication of pure carbolic acid tothe eroded surface, made after themucus has been removed by theapplication of a paste of bicar-bonate of soda mixed with peroxidof hydrogen to the mucus coveredarea. In the non-parous marriedwoman sexual abstinence will do much toward improvement of theuterine circulation and thus favor healing of the erosions. If these simple measures fail, the dry treatment suggested by Gell-horn and Curtis will frequently result in a cure, provided, however, thedeeper structures are not involved. This treatment consists in thor-oughly cleansing the vagina and cervix with a hot alkaline douche. Thecervix is then exposed through a Ferguson speculum and the cervicalcanal and the erosion with the least possible trauma is cleared of mucusby the application of peroxid paste. After the mucus has thus beencleared away, hot Fullers earth is packed about the cervix and kept inplace by filling the vagina with a gauze tampon. The gauze is removed.
