-
An erythematous inflammation of the feet, hands, &c., occasioned by cold. It is very common in youth-not so in the adult or in advanced age. It is apt to degenerate into painful, indolent ulcerations, called Kibes, (Sc.) Mules. Chilblains are prevented by accustoming the parts to exposure; and are treated by stimulant, terebinthinate, and balsamic washes, ointments, and liniments.
