Index to Volume XLI; Rear End of this Issue BOOK REVIEWS-Pages 25 to 27 WHEN spirochetes become arsenic-fast-tolerant of arsenic so that, temporarily at least, no further impression can be made on them with Salvarsan or its derivatives-mercury becomes the sheet-anchor of antisyphilitic treatment. In the short time since our Chemical Research Department developed Mercurosal, trustworthy evidence has accumulated to justify the conviction that this new synthetic compound is a dependable antiluetic, well adapted for administration by the intravenous or by the intramuscular route. Clinical improvement following Mercurosal injections has been observed to come rapidly. In many cases, too, the sudden disappearance of a seemingly persistent Wassermann reaction has been clearly attributable to the Mercurosal treatment. Low toxicity. Relatively high content of mercury. Organic combination similar to the combination of arsenic in salvarsan. May be administered in- travenously or intramuscularly with a minimum of discomfort to the patient. 30 LOESER'S INTRAVENOUS SOLUTIONS HAVE MADE INTRAVENOUS MEDICATION A SAFE PRACTICAL OFFICE TECHNIC INTRAVENOUS INJECTION IS A SERIOUS PROCEEDURE THAT REQUIRES FIRST: Selection of Standardized Solutions, SECOND: Full Knowledge of the Contents Half secret compounds, unscientific gunshot Loeser's Intravenous Solutions are not "cures" The contents are plainly stated on the label, Clinical Reports, Reprints, Price Lists and "The Journal of Intravenous Therapy" New York Intravenous Laboratory 100 West 21st Street New York, N.
