57. _As a means of allaying the distressing Irritation of the Genital Organs, both of males and females_, the latter especially, a solution of Borax (half an ounce) in eight ounces of water or Camphor julep (67) sometimes affords more relief than anything else. Cloths saturated with it should be kept to the parts, and in the case of women it should also be used in the form of vaginal injection. It also proves very useful in allaying the _Irritation of Nettlerash, Prickly Heat, and other Skin Diseases_. 58. _In prolonged and tedious Labours_ dependent apparently on want of action or power in the uterus to expel the fœtus, and in _Abortion_ under the same circumstances, 30 grains of Borax with 10 grains of powdered Cinnamon in a little warm _conjee_, may be given every one or two hours to the extent of three or four doses. This may also be given in _Convulsions attendant on Labours_. In doses of 10 grains, with 10 grains of Cinnamon, thrice daily, it also occasionally proves useful in _Suspension or Irregularity of the Menstrual Discharge_ and in some _Chronic Uterine Affections_. 59. _To Ulcerated Buboes, and Sloughing Ulcers_, a solution of Borax (two drachms in a pint of water or Camphor julep) often proves very useful by cleansing the surface and hastening the healing process. It should be applied on rags well over the whole sore, and renewed frequently by night and day. For dressing _Delhi Sores_, and stimulating them to healthy action, a favourite application is composed of Borax, Sulphur, and Catechu, of each, finely powdered, one drachm, and Ghee one ounce. This may be advantageously used in other forms of _Ulceration_. 60. _For Ringworm_, a solution of Borax (one drachm) in distilled vinegar (two ounces) is stated to be an effectual application. 61. +Butea Gum. Bengal Kino.+ The inspissated juice obtained from the stems of Butea frondosa, _Roxb._ Pterocarpus Marsupium, _D.C._, which yields the officinal Kino, inhabits the forests of Ceylon and the Indian Peninsula as far north as Behar; but almost all, if not the whole, of the Kino met with in bazaars is the produce of Butea frondosa or B. superba; but this is a matter of little moment, as it appears to be equally effectual as an astringent.
