Mediastinal sarcoma treated with coley's fluid 



Ann. Surgo 85:615, I927 



Three years after treatment with Coley's fluid, of a child for 

 whom a diagnosis of inoperable sarcoma of the posterior medias- 

 tinum had been made, no residual, physical or roentgen evidence 

 of the existence of the tumor could be demonstrated. 



A series of six patients with inoperable sarcoma of the spine 

 responded to mixed toxins with remarkable 'clinical remission,* 

 Successful results may be expected in approximately 10 per cent 

 of cases treated by this method.

Experimentelle Untersuchungen uber das Verhalten der Leukocyten 

 (Experimental investigation on relations of leukocytes) 



Okayama Iggakkuai Zasshi 39:622-625, I927 



Protein, carbohydrates and fat have widely differing effects 

 upon leukocytes. On intravenous injection, protein acts most 

 intensely on the neutrophils, to a lesser degree on lymphocytes 

 and affects eosinophils moderately. Carbohydrates stimulate neu- 

 trophil production, decrease the lymphocytes and infrequently 

 alter the ratio of eosinophils. Only after the injection of fat 

 is lymphocyte activity heightened; production continues for a 

 considerable period „ 



Inorganic stimulants differ in activity from those of organic ori- 

 gin. The luekocytes are little influenced by the parenteral in- 

 jection of metals. The salts have least activity and the alkalis 

 the greatest. Eosinophils are increased in blood after injec- 

 tion of metallic colloids.
