Abstract
About five years have elapsed since “Fluogin” was first introduced into the circle of our clinic, for treatment of Gonorrhoea. During this period, experiences and reports have testified its satisfaction.
“Fluogin”, which consists of “Argentum fluoreslinicum”, is a tube made in a length adjustable to the urethra of both, men and women. This is being used with general approval for its characteristics, namely: a very strong aseptic effect, harmless to the urethral-membrane, permeation and able to be used easily and conveniently even by those who are not doctors.
I personally have found a valuable effect of the “Fluogin” in the following cases:
1. Having used it in the treatment of Sea-men's Gonorrhoea, I could check the desease in the fore-part of his urethra only, without causing various complications and had him recovered completely.
2. There are persons who cannot consult a doctor everyday due to their business. In such cases, this “Fluogin” has helped them to recover in almost the same degree of process as if they had been treated by a doctor everyday.
3. When the condition of the desease is in such a state that it necessitates to wash the urethra twice or more a day, and if the patient has not sufficient leisure, the use of “Fluogin” on such occassion is helpful to assist in the doctor's treatment.
Therefore, according to the foregoing experiences, though I have no opinion whether we can cure gonorrhoea completely with the exclusive use of “Fluogin”, I can assure that it is very helpful to assist the recovery of the desease when the patient cannot attend his doctor regularly.
