I'm looking for references to honey as a wound dressing.  It was a common
wound dressing in the US Civil War, but has been usurped by modern
medicine.  I have the reference to manuka honey to treat ulcers (thanks
Nick!), but I'd like to find reference to honey as a topical salve for
cuts, scrapes, burns, etc.  Surprizingly, there is nothing in
_The_Hive_and_the_Honeybee_.  Suggestions anyone?
 
Thanks in advance,
Aaron Morris
