At a recent session of the Therapeutical Association of Paris, Dr. Amat lectured on the use of the membrane of eggs in the treatment of wounds. He has observed for some time the good results of placing these membranes upon the surface of wounds, and reports two new cases, that of a young girl suffering from a burn on her foot, and a man, 40 year old, with a large ulcer on his leg. Both wounds were in process of healing and were covered with healthy granulations. The surgeon overspread them with six or eight pieces of the membrane of eggs which was covered with tin foil and fastened with dry antiseptic bandages. After four days the membrane of the egg had partly grown into the tissues and had caused the growing of a good skin. That the egg membrane had contributed much to the healing process was demonstrated in the further course of treatment. It seems, however, that the membrane does not always adhere. The process of cicatrization is not only hastened but the wound heals exceptionally well and leaves but few perceptible traces. As these membranes are procurable everywhere, their use should attract more attention.
