چکیده

Since then this form' of treatment has been widely adopted in Europe?except, perhaps, in England ?and many observers have published their results. The drug that has been used most extensively for this purpose has been Somnifene. This preparation was first manufactured by Messrs. Hoffmann, La Roche & Co., of Basle. It is a mixture of the diethylamide salt of diethyl-barbituric acid and allyl-isopropyl-barbituric acid. ',
