To the treatment of mastitis. Schwarz (Med. Klinik, 1927, No. 51)

The author recommends the following method of treating this disease: a light bandage of 2 strokes of gauze bandage is applied to the diseased breast to raise and hold it in that position, then either hot compresses or hot-water bottles are applied to it at such a temperature as the patient can tolerate. These compresses or hot-water bottles are often changed. The pain usually subsides quickly, the t decreases, and after 1, maximum 3 days, the pus opens up.
