(7) PLATINA.– Rosenberg has employed a preparation of Platina, which was probably the Chloride of Platina and Sodium. He cured with this preparation a bleeding, violently tearing, and stinging fungoid chancre, together with an almost painless bubo, except in the warmth, when stitches, as with red-hot pins darted through
it.
I wish to direct attention to four other remedies that are but seldom, if ever, used in syphilitic affections, and which have proved very effectual in my hands; they are:
(a) ARSENICUM, for tubercular exanthems of secondary syphilis;
(b) FLUORIC ACIDUM, for mucous tubercles, balanorrhoea, and syphilitic erosions;
(c) SEPIA, for syphilitic erosions, and gonorrhoea occasioned by them, specially among females;
(d) SILICEA, form ulcerated cutaneous affections in mercurial syphilis.
