They will appear during 1914 and 1915 and will be short and practical. The editors are in a position to give this information in the briefest way. The course began in the February 1914 issue.

LOUIS, Mo. Gonorrhea in Women. THE APPLICATION of an aqueous solution of iodine in connection with the administration of sanmetto is recommended in the treatment of gonorrhea in women on account of its ability to penetrate the subepithelial structures and deeper glands. It is also a stimulant, a counter-irritant, and an alterative. The aqueous solution (Liquor iodi compositus) is used because of the pain caused by alcoholic tincture. The gonococci disappear early from the secretions, intrapelvic extension is far less frequent, and there is little pain. The entire course of treatment is comparatively short and causes but little trouble to either patient or physician. In acute and sub-acute cases, where vaginitis or vulvitis is present, the patient should be directed to use one teaspoonful of the solution to two quarts of warm water as a douche twice daily. In the chronic and mildly inflammatory cases the strength should be gradually raised from one to two teaspoonfuls, or until the patient begins to experience a burning or smarting sensation indicating the limit of increase, the sanmetto to be administered in teaspoonful doses four times daily throughout the treatment. |
