Being much \nless irritating than carbolic acid, it took the place of the latter as the leading antiseptic.

If a low trituration \nof Merc-c. is applied to the uvula on a brush, it will in many cases immediately, and often permanently, relieve \nthe trouble. \nA patient of Clarke's who was treated under allopathic t reatment with a solution of Merc -c. injected into his \nurethra for gonorrhea, not only suffered intensely in the urethra at the time, but for years afterwards had a \npainful spasm of the rectum every time he had sex. \nUnna reported two cases of elderly women poisoned by sublimate lotion, lint and gauze after ablation of the \nbreast. The dressings were removed on the second day in each case. The first symptoms were intense irritation \nof the skin and diffused redness of the part.
