Clinical results from the use of a new and superior antiseptic solution

It seems to us that an antiseptic solution possessing these four clinical qualities: effectiveness, versatility, economy and stability, should have wide appeal. No attempt has been made in this paper to consider the scientific basis upon which the new iodine solution rests nor the careful experimental work which led up to its perfection; this was set forth in a paper by George M. Karns³ and in the paper by George M. Karns, Leonard H. Gretcher and George D. Beal.² It is our desire simply to call to the attention of surgeons the excellent results obtained by these workers at Mellon Institute and to endeavor to inspire an interest in the widespread clinical proving of what seems to us to be a very superior antiseptic solution for universal hospital use.
