COMMON NAME:
PUS FROM THE SMALLPOX PUSTULE.
Symptoms
It bears the same relation to small-pox that Anti-toxin does to diphtheria (A.).
This remedy is employed as a prophylactic against, and to modify the course of an attack of small-pox (Bl.).
An extended clinical record by competent and reliable observers attests its curative value in variola–simple, confluent and malignant–as well as in varioloid and varicella (A.).
As a preventive of, or protection against, small-pox, it is far superior to crude, vaccination and absolutely safe from the sequelae, especially septic and tubercular infection (A.).
