induration

The irreducibility is due either to its large size or to changes which have taken place by indurations or adhesions.

In cases of obdurate induration, the udder should be anointed with iodine ointment.

The Gentile ignorance of God was attended, as St Paul saw it, with an induration of heart, of which it was at once the cause and the effect.

The tissue-changes of diseases existing prior to the attack of influenza, such as old consolidations, tubercle, brown induration, emphysema, and so forth, are of course frequently discovered.

The result of treatment with chloride of gold was, that in proportion to the decrease of the induration there was an increase in the consistency of the softened posterior wall.
