Unguentum Hydrargyri Ammoniati.-Ointment Of Ammoniated Mercury, U. S. P.
A mixture of 10 per cent, of ammoniated mercury with white petrolatum
and hydrous wool-fat.
Action and Uses: Ammoniated mercury in the form of an ointment of from 2
to 10 per cent, is much used as an antiseptic and local stimulant. In
the strength of from 3 to 5 per cent, it is an efficient and
non-irritating application for small areas of suppurating dermatitis. In
stronger proportions (from 8 to 12 per cent.) it is a useful stimulating
ointment for exciting a healthy inflammatory reaction, as in psoriasis.
In seborrhea it may be applied after removal of crusts, in the form of a
2 per cent, ointment.

Subject: Enquiry
I'm currently working on something that involves a document from 1945,
which makes reference to "Ung, Hyd. Ammon." as a treatment for pressure
sores. I've tried looking and can't find precisely what this actually
means - I'm assuming that "ammon" is ammonia, and that "ung" might be a
typo to be "unc." meaning unconditioned, but I'm still kinda stuck. Can
anyone help?
