"}}, at the meeting of the held on January 17th last, made an interesting communication on the treatment of carbuncle by carbolised spray. ... He stated that in 1883, in a severe case of carbuncle, he directed that carbonized spray be frequently applied in order to thoroughly disinfect the parts previously to an operation being performed. To his surprise, he found that under the use of the carbolised spray such improvement had declared itself that surgical interference became unnecessary. Henceforth he exclusively resorted to the carbolised spray on all cases of carbuncle. Whether they were large or small, painful or indolent, complicated or not with diabetes, previously opened by surgery, by sloughing, or with the skin as yet unbroken, in every case the same local treatment was applied, and always with a successful result."
