On the Treatment of Chilblains. By M. Ossteur—In the earliest
stage, friction, either employed dry or with brandy or sp camphor, is
the simplestand best means; but when the parts have become red,
swollen, shining, and even covered with phlyctense, but prior to ulcera-
tion, the formula recommended by M. Goffin may be used with the
greatest advantage: Camphor, 4 parts; Ess. Oil Turpentine, 30 parts.
When the practitioner is only consulted after ulceration has for some
time taken place, M. Devergie’s ointment is then the best application:
Lard, 1 oz.; Liq. Plumb. Subac., 12 drops ; Thebaic Extract, 3 grains ;
Creosote, 10 drops.—Brit, and For. Med. Chir. Rev., from Bull, de
