Abstract

Using the storage of mercury in the kidney of the rat as a measure of cutaneous penetration, 8 official mercury ointments have been assayed. Mercury oleate and nitrate ointments showed the greatest penetration; calomel and yellow mercuric oxide showed the least. Intermediate in penetration were mercurial, ammoniated and red oxide of mercury ointments. The degree of penetration of mercury was relatively insensitive to large differences in concentration of mercury in the ointments.
