Gimele has also employed iodine in chronic leucorrhoea; but his observations have not been confirmed by any subsequent practitioner.11] At the present day (November, 1822), the Genevese and Swiss physicians are much less enthusiastic with regard to the advan- tages which they at first imagined to have accrued from the preparations of iodine ; they now say that serious accidents have followed their employment, such as chronic inflammation of the stomach, and consider- able emaciation of the whole body, particu- larly of the mammae. I have never witnes- sed similar accidents, unless the doses have been carried very high; but this is no rea- son why we should not be very circumspect in the employment of these new prepara- tions.
