SOLIS-COHEN, who is de- scribed as “one of the leaders in the use of tuberculin”, is out in a pamphlet declaring that one great trouble with this remedy is that physi- cians have been giving from one thousand to one hundred thousand times too much of it at a dose. A fine chance there is for an argument and a prolonged empirical process. Dr. Solis-Cohen says that often 0.00000001 milligram was sufficient to reduce the temperature. We don't doubt it. We are even willing to be- lieve that none at all was often sufti- cient to reduce the temperature, but that is only guesswork. The only way to be sure, of course, is to go at the thing with scientific patience. First, begin with an infinitesimal dosage, and try that out thoroughly on patients in all stages. Then do the same with twice the dose. Then three times, four times, and so on up to those doses which are one hundred thousand times as large as the dose which Dr. Solis- Cohen believes to be the correct one. Unfortunately there is a drawback to this method. Dr. Solis-Cohen says that physicians are not to be trusted in that they “try to avoid a reaction by selecting their cases, picking out those regarded as suitable for tuberculin treatment”, At the same time Dr. Solis-Cohen does not imply an undue attack upon the integrity of the pro- fession, for he says: “It is, however, true that the larger doses of earlier Send a 2e Stamp for a Sample Cake JUST, lock through this pure transparent soap, smell its delicate perfume, and feel its rich, creamy lather on your face.

Even a layman could hardly be expected to know less about it. At the present writing about all we can say for certain is that, if it doesn’t injure the patient, it might possibly benefit him, but it is a very long shot, as our racing friends would say. EL 0. 4.
