Of the Mercurial Preparations intended to act immediately on the Parts affected with Lues Venerea.
Every preparation of mercury may perhaps, under proper management, be successfully employed in the cure of the venereal disease. But by much the greatest number of these preparations neither are, nor ever have been, in common use for that purpose. To treat, at any considerable length, of all that are at present in use, would lead to prolixity and repetition. A few observations on those which, from their being most successful, are at present most frequently employed, will afford sufficient data for determining the choice of one preparation in preference to another.
