been intended. Six doses of from 0.01 to 0.03 grm. were given in the course of 
twelve days, the total amount being 0.17 grm. The patient received an initial 
dose of 0.03 grm. in 1.5 per cent solution, instead of 0.01 grm. in 0.5 per cent solu- 
tion. Several short, hacking coughs were observed while the injection was in 
progress. In the afternoon the patient’s temperature rose to 100.4° F., but 
dropped to 99° F. in the evening. Subsequent doses of 0.02 and 0.03 grm., given 
in 0.5 per cent solution at intervals of two days, were not attended by any 
reaction. 
Frequent examinations of the urine during the course of treatment showed a 
diminution of ova from 2.8 per field to 1 in four fields. After the sixth day, 
moreover, the ova showed evidence of degeneration. The urine, blood-tinged 
at first, improved in appearance, until only a few red blood corpuscles could be 
found with the aid of the microscope. 
After the twelfth day the patient could no longer be kept in the hospital and 
was discharged apparently well. It proved impracticable to complete the course 
of treatment, or even to follow up the case outside the hospital.
