TOTAL AMOUNTS ADMINISTERED 



Of the remaining ten eases one patient took thirty doses, 

 representing practically 49 centigrams of the tartar emetic, 

 and two took forty and forty-four doses, or 65 and 72 centi- 

 grams, respectively. Seven took the full forty-eight doses or 

 more, six being given fifty-one to fifty-three doses, or 52 to 

 86 centigrams of tartar emetic. The potassium iodide taken by 

 this main group amounted to 48 and 53 grams. One patient 

 refused to continue the treatment after taking six doses. In 

 another case with pulmonary tuberculosis treatment was sus- 

 pended after eleven doses, on account of poor condition of the 

 patient. 



RESULTS OF TREATMENT 



Though the total time involved was but three months, which 

 is too short to expect much real improvement in well-advanced 

 cases of leprosy, nevertheless it was felt that, were the treat- 

 ment of much value, there would be some improvement by the 

 end of that time. This expectation was based in large part 

 on the reports referred to. 



The results obtained were not encouraging. Neither in the 

 general condition nor in the disease itself was there any marked 

 evidence of improvement. The results are tabulated in Table 

 7 and summarized in Table 8.
