Naphthol in Skin Diseases. —Kaposi states that care should 
be observed in the use of naplitliol in skin diseases to avoid surfaces 
denuded of epithelium, and never to apply it to the entire body. 
When these precautions are observed, the remedy is wholly with¬ 
out danger, and is of great value in many affections. In eczema 
it is indicated only in the squamous stage, when the diseased 
parts are but slightly hypersemic or even pale. In scabies, one 
application of naphthol, combined with chalk, green soap, and 
lard, is usually sufficient for a cure. In the various forms of 
acne, good results follow the employment of naphthol. The 
remedy is of especial value in the parasitic affections of the skin, 
as herpes tonsurans and favus. Pediculi are quickly exterminated 
by a ten per cent, solution of naphthol in olive oil .—Prager Med.
