and articles has appeared on the subject. I personally drew attention to the value of this drug in septic conditions in 1921 (Indian Medical Gazette, October 19, 1921) and have had a long record of success ever since in many other infections. My case of severe pyaemia was mentioned in your issue for April 1922, p. 151. My latest successes with intravenous iodine treatment have been four cases of pneumonia. My largest dose in a pneumonia case has been 60 m.; and that has been as a third injection. I now never use less than 20 m. in 10 c.c. of normal saline for a first dose, in whatever affection I am using the drug; and according to the reaction obtained increase by 10 m. or 20 m. for subsequent doses. I have for long now discontinued the use of the B. P. tincture for an aqueous solution, which does away with the fear of thrombosis, and I offer this advice to others using iodine intravenously.
