no eczema caused, such as is apt to arise from 
thymol. 
5. Exsudation from the left pleura ; removal of 
a quart of putrid pus by aspiration ; subsequent 
paracentesis ; the washing out of the pleural cavity

the wound had, throughout, a fresh appearance, 
granulated well on the third day, and the secretion 
was without smell.
