where I have given arsenic by the mouth and have obtained very 
unsatisfactory results, I have used it hypodermically, commenc¬ 
ing at a quarter grain and increasing in a few days to a grain or 
more with splendid satisfactory results; not giving more than 
two hypodermics per day commencing to the local treatment of 
eczema after having suppressed all external irritation, having 
cleansed the diseased parts, etc., then one’s duty is fulfilled, 
having placed the affected parts in the most favorable position 
for treatment. There are two principle modes of dressing which 
I adopt, each one has its use, according to circumstances and 
locality and they may be used successively or alternately. First 
styptic colloid, a mixture containing tannic acid dissolved in ether 
and collodion, which affords great relief and can be applied with 
a soft brush; it forms a loose scale which mingles with the 
cutaneous scales, and exudation; it causes no irritation and should 
be repeated once or twice daily or alternately with the following, 
taking care to have the parts thoroughly cleansed by castile 
soap and luke warm water containing half ounce of boracic acid 
to the quart.

far from it. In the Book of books you find this passage, “And if
