[H] MM on Formulin

[homeopathy-bounces@homeolist.com]

>From Boericke:

Formalinum
(Aqueous Solution (35 per cent) of Formaldehyde Gas)
* Is a powerful disinfectant and deodorant; a potent poison.
* Prevents growth and kills almost any pathogenic micro-organism.
* It seems to have the peculiar property of eating into malignant tumors,
leaving the surrounding healthy tissue uncharred and unchanged.
* A plug of cotton wool soaked in a 20 per cent. solution of Formaldehyde,
and applied for a few hours, will produce a necrotic slough, which must be
scraped away before the next application, otherwise it hardens.
