We observed 7 patients with varicose ulcers of both legs. We injected six patients every other day with intramuscularly sterile milk in increasing doses from 2 to 7 ml, and also underwent autohemotherapy (10-12 injections) and injections of vitamin B12. Inside was given tincture of iodine according to the usual scheme. The ulcers were sprinkled with oxytetracycline and sterile dressings were applied.
