Appeal No. 1997-0003 Application No. 08/342,614 Appendix 9. The method of Claim 34 wherein said solvent comprises water and said mixture comprises salt components such that the salt components are present in the mixture in the following proportions, expressed as grams/kilogram of salt mixture in the ionic state: CATIONS (g/kg) ANIONS (g/kg) Sodium 267 to 320 Chloride 450 to 600 Magnesium 30 to 40 Sulfate 60 to 120 Calcium 5 to 15 Hydrogen Carbonate 3 to 4.2 Potassium 6 to 14 Carbonate 0.3 to 0.7 10. The method of Claim 9 which further contains from about 1 to 2.5 grams/kilogram of salt mixture of bromide ions. 11. The method of Claim 9 which further contains from about 0.1 to 0.3 grams/kilogram of salt mixture of strontium ions. 12. The method of Claim 34, wherein said salt mixture is dissolved in water as a carrier medium at a concentration within the range of from about 2.5 to about 12% by weight. 16. The method of Claim 34 wherein said skin disease is acne. 17. The method of Claim 34 wherein said skin disease is seborrheic dermatitis. 18. A method for treating acne or seborrheic dermatitis comprising topically applying to the affected skin areas a therapeutic salt composition solution, said solution comprising a mixture of: (a) from about 1 to 30% by weight of a salt composition prepared by mixing salt composition prepared by mixing salt components such that, in the ionic state, a mixture comprising sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, chloride, sulfate, hydrogen carbonate and carbonate ions is formed, said ions constituting at least about 97.5% by weight of the ionic content of said salt composition and said salt composition containing at least 50% by weight of sodium chloride; 1Page: Previous 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
