Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, 1895, Vol. 4 Treatment is generally easy in respect to the existing lesions, but it is difficult to prevent the successive outbreaks. An oint ment of sulphur (about 1 drachm to 1 ounce - 4 grammes to 31 grammes) produced a cure of'existing lesions frequently in a few days, or at least a week or so, and the author has found no need for more heroic treatment. In many cases where the disease has been considered syphilitic iodide of potassium internally has been said to give excellent results, but it does not prevent further outbreaks, and a larger dose is required with each fresh crop. Dubreuilh believes, however, that he has been able to control to some extent the appearance of fresh lesions by the administration of ichthyol in doses of to gramme (4% to 7% grains) per diem, or, where ichthyol is badly supported, naphthol in -gramme (13 grains) doses after each meal.
