Scabies.

In the treatment of scabies I have had, almost invariably, good results with the use of the following formula:

Beta naphthol grs. 30
Precipitated sulphur drs. 2
Balsam of Peru drs. 2
Vaseline, q. s. ad ozs. 2

Mix. Sig. After bathing the skin thoroughly with hot water, this ointment should be rubbed in with considerable friction. It may be applied once or twice each day.
