1 in epilepsy, acute abscess, and clysters for dysentery; injections
2 into the peritoneal cavity in ascites. Iod (one scruple to half an
3 ounce of alcohol) externally in nsevus; and iodine-oil, is looked
4 upon as a substitute for cod-liver-oil, the external applications of
5 which, in spinal diseases, lupus, scarlatina, &c., are reported to
6 have been useful. To avoid decomposition I never administered
7 Iodine in combination with any fecula, such as the lozenges con-
8 taining starch ; but, in solution in almond-oil, to be taken in
9 drops upon sugar.
