Pàgina 110 - ... sentient nerve filaments, rendering them less prone to become involved in inflammatory action. In boils it relieves the painful tension, and favors resolution. In some forms of painful ulcers of the leg, of a small size, it gives great relief. In galling of the skin, where anasarca is present, it is also of use ; and is the best application that we have in burns of the first and second degree.
