A. Karchevskiy (in Warsaw). To the treatment of rotting blood. ("Przeglad chirurgiczny". Volume II, book II, 1894. p. 285)

The number of existing generally known means against the already developed pus blood indicates their unreliability, and, they are used by doctors, so to speak, scraping their hearts, one after the other — in most cases with negative results. At the present time, thanks to rational prophylaxis, in relatively rarely encountered cases of this disease, we all the same have to fight it with the same, little confidence-inspiring means, such as; emetic, swallowing, diaphoretic, transfusion, baths, quinine, wine alcohol, rubbing in mercury ointment — and many others.
