Fulmicoton, Cotonpoudre, Poudre-coton, Coton fulminant, Coton azotique, in a mixture of rectified ether and alcohol, in the proportion of about 16 parts of the former to 1 of the latter. When applied to a part, the ether evaporates, and the solid adhesive material is left, which contracts. Hence it is used in cases of wounds, to keep their edges together. It forms, also, a coating, and has been applied in abrasions, and in cases of burns. In various chronic cutaneous diseases, it has been applied with advantage; and has been employed to give a coating to pills, which it deprives of their taste, without interfering with their action. Collodion is in the last edition of the Ph. U.S. (1851.)
