Iodex is one of those preparations, so rare, that the veterinarian soon learns to appreciate highly and without which he finds it difficult to conduct his practice, once he has made its acquaintance. He finds that there are so many conditions in which it is the only pharmaceutical article that exactly fills all the therapeutic requirements, and he is able to obtain with it results that he did not think possible before he made its acquaintance. Iodex exceeds in activity the other iodine preparations to the same extent that an autogenous bacterin exceeds in specificity that of a stock bacterin, and I would advise that every practitioner of veterinary medicine who has not yet made its acquaintance write at once to Menley & James, No. 168 Duane Street, New York City, for a trial package. I make this recommendation with a full realization of the fact that Iodex is a proprietary agent, and the veterinarian will, in the light of my numerous contributions to ethical veterinary literature, correctly infer that Iodex must indeed be an agent of more than ordinary merit. OILY SOLUTIONS OR MIXTURES OF IODINE Sub-acute and chronic skin lesions. Acute, dry skin diseases. For injection into synovial bursae when the tincture of iodine is contra-indicated. To anoint arms and hands in the handling of obstetrical cases. For direct application to mucous membranes. Ringworm. As a moist dressing for wounds of long standing. Garget. Dry, scaly affections of hoofs and of the legs of poultry. Open joint. Injection for puncture wounds. All chronic surface conditions in which the use of iodine ointments would not be practicable. AQUEOUS PREPARATIONS OF IODINE. Although, from a chemical standpoint, the mixture of tincture of iodine with water would be considered wrong, I have found that the addition of one dram of tincture of iodine to a quart of sterile water makes a most satisfactory combination for use in veterinary practice for a number of diseased conditions. In mal-odorous catarrhal diseases, a mixture such as this makes a fine wash. In the treatment of foul-smelling ulcers and fistulous tracts, it should be used with an irrigator after the parts have been cleaned up and just before the usual dressing is applied. To stimulate the process of healing in wounds and lacerations such as barbed-wire cuts and tears. As a moist dressing applied on gauze in old wounds. As a soaking solution for foul-smelling hoof troubles. As a wash for the veterinarian’s hands and arms, to prevent infection and remove odors, after the handling of after-births, dead fetuses, and other conditions of a similar nature.
