gonorrhoea

Abscesses arise by infection passing into the gland along the ducts, and are a very frequent accompaniment of gonorrhœa.

Its juice being slightly bitter and astringent is used in decoction as an injection in gonorrhœa.

In some places the decoction of the leaves is given internally as an emollient and diuretic for gonorrhœa.

In Java and India they use it for gonorrhœa, and in Mauritius as a diaphoretic and astringent.

I think the study of gonorrhœa will give very interesting results when they succeed in inoculating it in new-born animals.
