Schematic Recapitulation

The increase in the leucocytes and the decrease in the eyrthrocytes is certainly a striking feature of the effects of this drug, and, of course, suggests therapeutic possibilities in diseases marked by similar haemic features, more particularly leucaemia. The fact that several O.S. clinicians have obtained beneficial results from small doses of benzol in this disease, is of interest and suggests that the therapeutic relationship which apparently exists, is based upon the principle of simila similibus curentur.
