A soluble colloidal form of calomel, containing albuminoids.
Actions and Uses.—Its action is the same as that of calomel, but it is
claimed to be superior because of its solubility in water, acting more
rapidly and efficiently. Calomelol is claimed to be non-irritant and
particularly non-toxic. The indications for its use are the same as for
calomel. Dosage.—Internally the same as calomel. Externally it is used
as a dusting powder, mixed with an equal quantity of starch or of a
mixture of starch and zinc oxide, or in the form of calomelol ointment.
It should be guarded from the light. Manufactured by the Heyden Chemical
Works, New York.
