Iodoform  and  silver.— Poncet  {Lyon  mid.,  1886,  No.  31,)  draws  atten- 
tion to  the  discomforts  sometimes  associated  with  the  use  of  iodoform  when 
articles  of  silver  are  used  in  eating.  A  peculiar  nauseous  taste  is  often  pres- 
ent which  is  increased  when  food  is  taken.  The  tongue  sometimes  becomes 
coated.  Poncet  points  out  that  articles  of  silver  in  contact  with  iodoform 
acquire  a  peculiar  smell,  and  is  of  the  opinion  that  patients,  whose  wounds 
are  dressed  with  iodoform  ought  not  to  use  silver  forks  and  spoons  to  eat 
with.  According  to  Cazeneuve,  when  iodoform  and  silver  come  into  con- 
tact, iodide  of  silver  and  acetylene  are  formed,  and  to  this  he  attributes  the 
effects  which  Poncet  has  pointed  out. — Med.  Chronicle,  March  1887.
