with the dreadful odor arising usually under other 
modes of treatment.

well, and the healing process was quite com- 
pleted within a few weeks. Dr. Schulz sums 
up;— 
1. Eucalyptus oil unites with its antiseptic 
influence also a power to promote granulation, 
which latter effect is to be ascribed much to tlie

2. In consequence of the action of the 
eucalyptus oil on the contractile particles of the

3. The eucalyptus oil cannot be used exactly 
in the same manner as carbolic acid with the

an increased temperature under the bandage, 
whereby the irritating influence of the oil is
