Vulvo-vaginitis due to Neisser's diplococcus : a treatise on the above subject with special reference to treatment, based on a series of cases numbering approximately one hundred, at the Edinburgh V.D. Clinic from 1927-1933

Abstract

We would suggest that hexylresorcinol (1 mgm.), plus 70 parts of water, plus 30 parts of glycerine (i.e. S.T. 37), would be a satisfactory preparation, or replacement of the glycerine - since it is hygroscopic - by 20 parts of alcohol, and therefore 80 parts of water, would in all probability be equally satisfactory. Furthermore, this form of treatment should be persevered with. And finally, if the results were a little disappointing, the percentage of hexylresorcinol could be slightly modified thereby, possibly making a change, for the better. In other words judge each case on its own merits and administer this line of therapy accordingly.
