Sort: Oldest first
-
Made by the reaction of iodine on mild chloride of mercury. Two iodides may be prepared- the iodide and the biniodide. Both are violent irritant: the biniodide, especially, is a powerful caustic. Both have been given in scrofula. The biniodide is only used externally like nitrate of silver in scrofulous and certain syphilitic ulcerations. An ointment of the iodide is rubbed on scrofulous tumefactions.
