S. Mercurophen, Perfected by Three Philadelphia Physicians, Rec ommended for War Hospitals Three Philadelphia physicians have per fected ana offered to the Government a new mercuric germicide which has more than thirty time tho disinfecting power of bi chloride of mercury It Is especially recom mended for use In war hospitals, owing to the fact that it Is not so poisonous ns bi chloride anil because It will not affect the skin so badly The physicians are Drs Jay J Scham berg, George W RalzlsB nnd John A. Kol mer, all of whom are connected with tho dermatologlcai laboratory of the Polyclinic Hospital. They have been working on a variation of mercury for several months and finally perfected the new preparation. They have named It mercurophen. An Important use for the new prepara tion would be as a port of each soldier's kit. A gauze, soaked with mercurophen and then dried, could be placed In an anti septic envelope and carried In the kit. In case of Injury the soldier could place tho gauze over the wound and wet It with water from tho canteen. This would In stantly sterilize the wound and protect It until such time as It could be scientifically dressed at a Btatlon.
