The patients which claim most of our time are those

having tropical ulcers. Some of these ulcers are very large, almost girdling the limb. They are usually on the leg or foot. We found some cases which had been here for months, suffering severe pain. Others were of very recent origin, having grown from a thorn scratch or other trivial wound to a wound four inches in diameter in a few weeks. Fortunately for us, we had secured a copy of the formula for the new Dakin's Solution, which was so helpful on the battlefields during the war. We have made good use of this for wet dressings, and the results we have seen are marvellous

in some cases.
