To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is used at the Hospital Saint Louis, where the patient is put into an alkaline bath in the evening, next day is rubbed over the whole body, every six hours, with the ointment, on the third day takes another bath, and is not allowed to put on his clothes until they have been well baked, so as to destroy the insect and its eggs. Two days of treatment are said to be sufficient to effect a cure. A sulphurous bath is sometimes substituted for the alkaline bath. Instead of employing the ointment..., some practitioners content them- selves with directing their patients to sleep between sheets, which have been well strewed over with the flowers of sulphur. Some combine the internal with the external use of the sulphur ; but it is very doubtful whether the cure is in any degree hastened ; or rather it is pretty certain that it is not. These sulphur ointments are also frequently used in the treatment of other eruptions, especially the eczematous and impetiginous, in their most chronic forms. In porrigo or tinea capitis, a mixture of equal parts of sulphur and tar ointment has been employed with advantage.
