About mercury dioxide, as antisepticum in gynecology

Numerous clinical observations of the last time, mainly over the course of incised wounds, have convinced surgeons and gynecologists to a sufficient extent that the primary role in the healing of these wounds is played by cleanliness, and not by disinfectants. Suffice it to point to such authorities in this respect as Bantok, Lawson-Tait, Thorntorn, De Granville, Kocher. Sklifosovsky and others. Some of the surgeons and gynecologists of modern asepsis have gone so far in their views that they look at all disinfectants as self-deception, while others consider the presence of some non-pathogenic microorganisms even useful (?) In the fight against accidentally caught pathogenic and therefore delay the growth of the former seems to be irrational. But on the other hand, there are not a small number of surgeons who have asepsis alongside antiseptics and who cannot refuse, if not "in the leading", then in the "known role" and disinfectants, not because routine has been mixed up in such a setting, but due in part to the conditions under which they have to work, in part to the undoubtedly beneficial properties of known disinfectants.
