Address THE MEDICAL SUMMARY, No. I With the best of syringes so cheap, and the best of injections so easily and inexpensively prepared extemporaneously in the office, no physician should ever write a prescription for gonorrhea; they are copied and distorted and passed around till they are no credit to the originator, and are to his financial detriment. Select a glass syringe, holding four drams, with a short conical point, encased in a wooden pocket case; they cost 75 cents a dozen. With the syringe give the patient a four-ounce bottle of any of the following solutions: 1. Corrosive sublimate, I to 10,000. 2. Potassium permanganate, I to 4,000. 3. Nitrate of silver, I to 6,000. 4. Hydrogen peroxide and water, equal parts. Now instruct him as follows: Four times daily, after urinating, filling the syringe with the solution. Take the syringe in the right hand, between the tips of the thumb and second finger, with the tip of the first finger resting on the end of the piston. Hold the penis in the left hand, between the second and third fingers, leaving the thumb and first finger free. Insert the nozzle of the syringe just within the meatus and gently close the meatus around the nozzle by lateral pressure with the disengaged finger and thumb. If the pressure is exerted from above downwards, the slit-like orifice will be opened rather than closed. Now in |
