IOD 0-NA PHTOL-BE TA.
Administration.-The daily dose of iodol is from 6
to 20 grains (0.3 to 1.3 grammes), and even as high as
40 grains (2.6 grammes). Externally, this medicament
is applied as a dusting-powder or in the form of solutions
and ointments of a strength varying from I to 30 parts
and I to 15 parts respectively. It may also be applied
in the form of a collodion composed of I part of iodol,
o10 parts of ether, and 5 parts of gun-cotton.
Toxicology.--Iodol is apt to produce toxic symptoms
even when locally applied; among these may be men-
tioned dizziness, irregular and frequent pulse, vomiting,
a feeling of general malaise, a rise of the bodily tem-
perature, and albuminuria. This drug does not, how-
ever, appear to produce symptoms of full iodism, owing,
probably, to its being slowly absorbed.'
IODO-NAPHTHOL-BETA.
This drug, likewise termed naplztlol-beta diiodide, is
obtained from the interaction of naphthol-beta and iodine.
Physical Properties.-The diiodide of naphiltoll-beta
appears in the form of a greenish-yellow powder, taste-
less and odorless.
Solubility.-This remedy is readily soluble in chloro-
form, slightly so in alcohol, acetic acid, and ether, and
insoluble in water.
Therapeutic Applications.-Iodo-naphthol-beta has
been particularly recommended as a substitute for iodo-
form in the treatment of wounds and ulcers. It is
claimed to be a highly serviceable antiseptic.
Administration.-The diiodide of naphthol-beta may
be applied as a dusting-powder.
1 Di-lodoform, whose formula is said to be C~I4, is an odorless crystal-
line substance, easily decomposed under the influence of light; it then
emits a characteristic odor. It is chemically the tetra-iodo-e/lvene. This
agent is especially soluble in hot toluene, and also in benzene, carbon di-
sulphide, and chloroform; it is sparingly soluble in alcohol and ether, but
is insoluble in water. Di-iodoform has been introduced into practical med-
icine also as a substitute for iodoform.
