Dissolve the camphor in the oil, and the iodine in as small a quantity of alcohol as 
possible. Add the mixed liquids to the melted paraffin, and pour the whole in 
suitable moulds. The pencil can be rendered hard or soft by the addition or 
diminution of olive oil. — Journ. de Med. de Paris. 
Carbuncle Ointment. — Dr. Bulkley, says the Deutsch. Am. Apoth. Zeit ., 
recommends an ointment for carbuncles, prepared by mixing 2 drachms extract of 
ergot and 1 drachm zinc oxide with enough simple ointment to make 1 ounce. The 
carbuncle is to be covered with a piece of lint, upon the woolly side of which the 
ointment should be spread. The ointment may be rendered firmer, if desired, by the 
incorporation of a little white wax. Care should be taken, if the application is 
changed, not to subject the affected part to the action of the air. 
Quinine lactate, dissolved in four parts of water, is recommended by Yigier 
for hypodermic use. The salt is rich in alkaloid, has a neutral reaction, and its 
injection does not produce pain or inflammation. — G-az. HJebdom.
