Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Medical Journal, Vol. 10
Operative measures, at her advanced age, are, in my judgment, to be shunned. I have little belief in the efficacy of local measures, and the injections Of iodine or perchloride of iron into parenchymatous goitres I haye never advocated. Any local inflammatory action set up by these agents most seriously prejudices the chances of the patient in any needful subsequent Operative proceedings. The same Objections do not apply to the external application of the red iodide of mercury Ointment, though, personally, I have not seen much benefit arise from its employment.
