Cerebrospinal meningitis

21 May 2015Pais-up subscribers

WRITTEN IN 1915: [In acute cerebral meningitis of childhood] I have many times witnessed striking recoveries from full doses of mercury by the skin, after profound coma had almost obliterated all hope of improvement. I believe it to be unjustifiable to abandon the patient to his fate without resorting to vigorous treatment by this drug.
