goulard's extract

In the past, Goulard's Extract was used, but is now discontinued.

In modern medicine, for a time, it was used as an astringent, in the form of Goulard's Extract.

Goulard's Extract was a primary ingredient in both Goulard's Cerate and Goulard's Water.

Thomas Goulard (1697-1784) was a French surgeon famous for Goulard's extract, a solution of lead(II) acetate and lead oxide which was formerly used as an astringent.

Goulard's Extract (also known as subacetate of lead) is a solution of lead(II) acetate and lead oxide used as an astringent during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
