VI. Treatment 



As regards the treatment of this condition, the only possibility is by 

 use of the roentgen ray. Decastello has lately advised in conjunction with 

 this the use of benzol on the following basis. He thinks that the Bence- 

 Jones body originates in the bone marrow, and hence is not influenced by 

 the peripheral raying. The administration of benzol might reach it in the 

 bone marrow, and it has been shown by Boggs and Guthrie that under 

 benzol treatment the amount of Bence-Jones' protein excreted in the urine 

 of leukemic patients is reduced.
