It is thoroughly antiseptic and takes the place of the old-time poultices, blisters, mustard drafts, camphorated oils, hot stupes, liniments and offers the best known method for the continuous appli- cation of moist heat. Just how it works The benefit from Antiphlogistine comes from two things: the continued heat the medicinal value of the ingredients When applied thick and hot over an inflamed area, it maintains heat for from 12 to 24 hours. This heat opens the pores of the skin and the heat with the medicinal oils stimulate the nerve ends of the skin and cause an increased flow of blood to and from the affected part. It is this stimulated flow of blood which repairs tissue, fights any infec- tion present and carries off broken down tissue, to be expelled from the body. After the circulation to the part has been in- creased, bringing the blood to a point where it is most needed to combat disease and rebuild affected tissue, the medicinal elements in Antiphlogistine have a stimulating effect on the blood itself. Thus the blood is brought to the diseased part in increased quantities, and having arrived Pneumonia—Applying Antiphlogistine to the Thoracic Walls, Front, Back and Sides Pneumonia Dressing Being Removed at this point it stimulates Nature’s own healing processes. General directions for applying Antiphlogistine should be applied hot and thick (except in the case of burns when it is applied cold). It should always be heated in the original container, and as a rule, spread directly upon the skin as hot as can be borne comfortably. Turn back the little fastener which holds the rim around the top of the can to seal it from the air and throw away. Place the can in a receptacle containing boiling water. Be sure that no water gets into the can. When sufficiently hot stir the contents so that the heat may be equally diffused. Test the tem- perature by spreading on back of hand. Spread it with suitable knife over and beyond the affected part at least one-eighth inch thick. Always cover with a liberal supply of absorbent cotton and a suitable bandage. The dressing should be removed as soon as it can be peeled off easily, usually in from twelve to twenty-four hours. Keep the can covered Antiphlogistine has a strong affinity for water, and when exposed will extract moisture from the air—therefore it is highly important that the lid be kept on the can, as the healing power of Anti- phlogistine largely depends upon its ability to take moisture unto itself. Sprains—Cover the affected area with hot Anti- phlogistine and renew as often as necessary. Frost Bites — Spread cold Antiphlogistine on a cloth and apply to the part. Felons—To get the best results Antiphlogistine should be applied hot and changed three or four times a day. Sprains Orchitis, Epididymitis and Buboes should be dressed with Antiphlogistine, hot and thick, to be renewed every twelve hours or oftener. In orchitis the parts should be properly supported. Sunburn—Apply Antiphlogistine COLD over the inflammation. Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, etc. Apply Antiphlo- gistine and renew every twelve hours. It is well to cover the healthy skin with some bland ointment, in order to prevent an extension of the infection. Burns—In burns of the first and second degree Antiphlogistine should first be spread cold upon a cloth and applied gently. It forms an impervious covering which may re- main without change for twenty-four hours or longer. Remember to apply Antiphlogistine cold in burns. Inflammatory Conditions of the Pelvic Viscera —Antiphlogistine is used by many gynecologists in the treatment of pelvic peritonitis, metritis, en- dometritis, ovaritis and ovarian neuralgia, spread- ing it thick and hot over the lower part of the ab- domen and covering it with absorbent cotton and a bandage. In cases of dysmenor- rhea a liberal dressing should be applied hot over the lower part of the abdomen twenty-four hours before the flow is expected, and this should Burns Pelvic Congestions be renewed until the flow is well established. Inflammationsof the Abdominal Viscera—Anti- phlogistine when applied thick and hot has been found a valuable adjuvant to internal medication. Before the formation of pus the use of Antiphlogis- tine is often advisable, but it must not be used if suppuration is established, as it can in no way take the place of the knife. Vaginal Tampon —Upon a square of surgical gauze place a suitable quantity of Antiphlogistine (preferably hot) and gather the sides and ends of the gauze together and bind with a string. The tampon may be easily removed at end of twelve or twenty-four hours by drawing on the strings which are left protruding from the parts. Bronchitis—Especially in Children—It is usually not necessary to cover more than the chest, extend- ing the Antiphlogistine well up over the throat. Influenza, La Grippe, Colds—Apply Antiphlo- gistine hot over the chest and well up over the throat. Cover with ab- sorbent cotton and band- age. Synovitis (Water on knee)—When caused by a traumatism apply Anti- phlogistine hot around the joint and several inches above and below, and change every twenty- four to thirty-six hours. Rheumatism and Gout —Antiphlogistine applied directly to the affected part as hot as can be Colds—Bronchitis comfortably borne. It does not interfere with internal medication. Septic Wounds—After cleansing the wound thoroughly with a suit- able antiseptic, hot Anti- phlogistine should be applied over and beyond the affected area. Inflammation follow- ing Vaccination—A slight inflammatory reaction is certain to follow vaccin- ation, but when the arm shows signs of an exces- sive inflammation the affected area should be covered with Antiphlogistine, absorbent cotton and a bandage. Hemorrhoids—In inflamed piles, pruritis ani, etc., a liberal application of Antiphlogistine, as hot as can be comfortably borne, should be made to the entire parts, covered with cotton and held in place with suitable bandage. Renew the application every twelve hours. Swollen Joints Mastitis (or Caked Breasts)—Where Antiphlo- gistine has been applied hot in mastitis, proper support must be given the parts. The entire breast should be covered with Antiphlogistine. Chronic Ulcers—After cleansing the site of the ulcer antiseptically, cover the indurated and swollen parts with Antiphlogistine and properly support them. If hypersensitive, apply Antiphlogistine all around, but not on the ulcer, until the circulation is good. Boils—Spread hot Anti- phlogistine on a cloth and apply gently. Ifstasis and death of cells do not al- ready exist, there is likely to be no suppuration. Ecchymosis (Blackeye) —Apply Antiphlogistine hot and thick immedi- ately after the injury. Styes — Inflamed Lids —Apply hot Antiphlogis- tine over the lids and hold Inflamed Breasts in place with compress and bandage. Change two or three times a day. Erysipelas—If the parts are too sensitive, spread hot Antiphlogistine on a cloth and apply gently. Dental Swellings — In neuralgia, toothache, swollen glands and other congestions about the jaw, apply Antiphlogistine hot and thick over the entire side of face, as illustrated. Inflammation of the Ear—In threatened ab- scess and in external and middle ear inflammations, Antiphlogistine should cover and extend well behind the ear. A small pledget of cotton may first be introduced into the outer ear canal. Renew the application in twelve hours. Throat Affections—In tonsillitis, quinsy, scarlet fever and mumps apply Antiphlogistine hot. To be more efficacious apply it from ear to ear. Chronic Ulcers In diseases such as pneumonia and pleurisy Antiphlogistine should be applied under the personal direction of the physician. Pneumonia—In treating pneumonia involving both lungs, in an adult, START RIGHT. Order a large (34oz.) can of Antiphlogistine, a pound roll, (not two half-pound rolls) of absorbent cotton and a yard of cheesecloth. While Antiphlogistine is being heated in the can in the usual way, spread the cheesecloth on a table and over it place a layer of cotton of equal length, from the pound roll. Make a place for the arms by cutting straight down through the cotton and cheesecloth three or four inches. Fold jacket and place in oven. When the Antiphlogis- tine is as hot as can be borne comfortably,lay the patienton side and spread Antiphlogistine over one- half the thoracic walls — front, side and back. Dental Swellings Cover immediately with the cotton-lined cheese- cloth jacket. Roll the patient over on dressed side and complete applica- tion. Stitch the jacket in front and over the shoulders so as to make a snugly fitting jacket with cotton protruding around the neck, arms and waist, which insures cleanliness. The entire contents of the can should be used for the one application and the dressing should be re- newed when it can be easily peeled off, generally in about twenty-four hours. (See illustration). The important work of applying Antiphlogistine in pneumonia should not be delegated to someone who has never seen the thing done. The physician should apply it himself, at least the first time. Pleurisy—The purpose of applying Antiphlogistine directly over the affected region is to dilate the superficial capillaries and fill them with blood, and reflexly to transmit a stimulus to the vessels of the pleura with a view to reabsorbing the fluid accumu- lation in the tissues and the lymphoid spaces. Sore Throat Prescribed by physicians for years Doctors have prescribed Antiphlogistine for years to relieve many common troubles and for use in very serious diseases.
