Iodine Fumioaticr.

Although for dislnfectng superficial
wounds and for sterilizing the skin be-
fore operations surgeons have long re-
garded iodine as one of the most useful
antiseptics they have been unable to
find a practical way of using 1t I'm liquid
form in deep wounds. DR.. Louge Of
Marseilles. France. has devised meth
cd of producing iodine fumes and has
used them successfully In treating all
kinds of wounds. He dips the end of
piece of cotton in iodoform powder and
then lights the cotton at point where
it is free from powder. The fumes of
iodine that at once rise can either be
applied directly to the affected part on
collected in jar and applied by means
Of syringe. The effect Of the fumes
is both deodorant and soothing. They
have been especially useful in the treat
ment of Assesses, cancers and similar
affections-Youth's Companion
