I find it best as a rule in the mild and moder- ately severe cases to swab the cervical canal throughout its length with full strength Lugol's solution. For this purpose I use the uterine dressing forceps. (Fig. 39, 3.) With these I secure as large a piece of absorbent cotton or gauze as can readily be pushed through the canal, saturate it with the so- lution, and pass it through the length of the canal, revolving the swab to and fro in an effort to touch every part of the mucosa.

Where the cervical mucosa is badly denuded, the application causes necrosis of the superficial layers of epi- thelium and arouses a marked reaction in the tissues. When.

A second application may be made in three weeks if it appears desirable. If the case is not too severe, the swabbing commonly gives satisfactory results. In some instances the cervicitis will respond better to the application of a 10 to 20 per cent, silver nitrate solution. When discussing the instrumental examination of the cervical canal on page 99, warning was given that the ex- aminer should proceed with great caution in passing instru- ments through it. This becomes of special importance where the cervical canal is seriously infected. The cervicitis, often rendering the passing of a sound or catheter exceedingly difficult, invites accident and the infection present, which is.
