Book Description
Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, Vol. 46: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences; July to December, 1899 IN this paper I wish briefly to put on record the success of a somewhat unusual mode of treatment in a case of severe chorea. Although it is never very safe to base an opinion upon the study of only one or two cases, there is, I feel, sufficient justification for the course I am adopting. Severe chorea is so fatal that any addition to our methods of coping with it is sure to prove of value and moreover, severe chorea is not sufficiently common to insure the possibility of obtaining in a short time a long series of cases such as would prove beyond doubt the efiicacy of any particular method of treatment. I therefore publish my observation without waiting till I can bring a number of cases to prove that sulphocarbolate of soda is as efficacious in certain cases of chorea as it is in cases of staphylococcus and other forms of pyaemia so-called.
