In the second case the patient receivedsix ounces of the paste and died within twenty-seven days afterthe injection from bismuth poisoning. While it is probably truethat such doses are rarely required for dental purposes, it shouldbe remembered that absorption from the oral tissues is accom-plished much more readily than from most other tissues, andconsequently bismuth intoxications may be more readily antici-pated from the absorption of less quantities from the oral cavitythan from other parts of the body. The iodin preparations—. Figure Large Cavity in the Mandible Filled with Bone Plombe. iodoform, vioform, aristol, etc.—possess decided advantages overbismuth subnitrate as bactericidal or chemotactic agents. In ahextensive necrosis of the mandible the author has injectedrecently about l1/3 ounces (40 (mi.) of Mayrhofers iodoformpaste, the largest quantity ever used by him for a single were no systemic effects produced by the slow absorptionof the paste, and within four months the destroyed tissues werepartially replaced by a new formation of a heavy periosteum. The plugging of bone cavities with the Mosetig bone plombeaccording to Mayrhofers modification deserves to be recommended. PART ANESTHESIA.
