SIR,-In your issue of April lgtli (1). 703) the late Mr.
A. E. Morison discussed the treatment of carbuncle by
magnesium sulphate. I should like to call attenition to a
miiethod I have carried out for several y-ears with iinvariable
sucecess. As soon as a case is seeil to be definiitely olne of
carbuncle I inject subcutaneously in the abdominial wall
10 c.cm. of antistreptococcus serurn (p)olyvalent). In one
case of aggravated carbuncle of the nieck I used a second
dose. A pad moistened with glycerini is applied locally.
In my experience the imiiprovement has been rapid anid
complete, without destruction of tissue alnd scarring.I ani, etc.,
