Special Considerations of Local 

 Iodine Therapy. 



When we undertake the considera- 

 tion of those features of iodine therapy 

 which have to do with its adaptabiHty 

 to definite remedial ends, we enter upon 

 a field of thought that may take several 

 forms. 



We are concerned, in this treatise, 

 only with matter relating to regional, 

 topical, or local applications of the 

 agent under discussion, and we can 

 well begin the consideration with the 

 identification of the agent itself and 

 the different forms under which it is 

 most commonly used. For all practical 

 purposes, we can confine the discussion 

 of the agent itself to that of the four 

 forms, or preparations, of iodine in 

 almost universal use by practitioners of 

 veterinary medicine and surgery.
