Vesicant

Injected intravenously into rabbits and mice, the mustards made the normal white cells of the blood and bone marrow almost disappear, without producing all the nasty vesicant actions, dissociating the two pharmacological effects. ❋ Siddhartha Mukherjee (2010)

There had been improvements since the First World War—fleets of airplanes could “spray large areas with vesicant liquids not only on military personnel but upon the civilian population as well.” ❋ Nicholson Baker (2008)

Somebody on this planet had a gas which was a regurgi-tant, a sternutatory, and a vesicant all in one. ❋ Blish, James (1957)

Line-firing, instead of the vesicant is made use of by some, but the object desired is the same and results obtained are similar. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Externally, vesicant; used in form of ointment, or tincture. ❋ Robert Jennings (N/A)

Reduction having been affected, the application of a vesicant over the whole patellar region is customary. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

A vesicant was applied; the mare was put to pasture and within sixty days from the date of the injury she was being driven on short trips. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Following the acute stage of such an infection, any local counter-irritating application or even a vesicant is in order. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Following this, a vesicant is employed and the subject is allowed a month's rest. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

If little inflammation exists, the application of a vesicant two or three weeks after the injury has been inflicted will be helpful and serve to hasten repair. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

If no marked swelling results within forty-eight hours the entire fetlock region is thoroughly vesicated and, as soon as the skin has recovered from the effects of the vesicant, pressure bandages may be employed. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

In these cases, subjects may be put into service after all swelling which the injection or the vesicant has produced has subsided. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Later the mare was turned out to pasture and a vesicant was applied once or twice a month until recovery was complete which was in about six months. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

For instance, the application of an active and depilating vesicant upon a large area on the gluteal or crural region, in a case where the practitioner "guesses" the condition to be one of "hip lameness," constitutes an exposition of gross ignorance, and at once stamps the perpetrator as a crude bungler without scientific insight whose works are no credit to his profession. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

There is no occasion for any difference in the treatment of either of the first three classes of ringbone, but in the rachitic type where treatment is given, the application of a vesicant is all that is required. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

After-care consists in restriction of exercise and, if necessary, confining the subject in a sling and the application of a vesicant over the scapulohumeral region. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

It is not generally known, however, that other vesicant compounds were employed, notably some of the arsenic compounds, and the Germans were researching on substances of this nature which gave great promise of success. ❋ Unknown (1921)

The vesicant action of mustard gas produced huge casualties with relatively little permanent harm. ❋ Unknown (1921)
