Excerpt from The Best Surgical Dressing, How to Prepare It and How to Use It: With a Consideration of Beach's Principle of Bullet-Wound Treatment All these efforts are today forced into the back-ground through Von mosetig-moor hof's introduction of iodoform in surgery. We have found in iodoform an antiseptic which, although it does not put carbolic acid entirely aside, is superior to it in many respects, and has therefore won a place in surgery which it will retain until some better medium is discovered. Iodoform especially replaces carbolic acid where the latter was used for dressing purposes, and is to-day I/ze antiseptic for wound dress ings. Then the carbolized gauze dressing is replaced by a better - the iodoform gauze; and of the entire Lister dressing nothing remains to-day but the principle, and that stands as unassailable as ten years ago.
