Volume II — Special Therapeutics
Possesses all the valuable qualities of Iodine, when applied externally. It has no odor, nor does it stain. It forms a perfectly white and soft ointment, producing but little local action upon the skin, and is readily absorbed when applied by friction. Under the use of this ointment he has witnessed, in many cases, enlarged glands of a scrofulous character rapidly reduced to their normal dimensions. He has seen it give great relief in nodes and chronic inflammation of the joints.
Some homoeopathists do not disdain to use remedies externally. To such, this will be an improvement over the usual ointments of Iodine. One part of Iodide of cadmium to ten of Cosmoline is the proper proportion.
